Chapter 709: Chapter 062: Shi Mengwan’s Ending
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sitting in the car, Shi Mengwan only saw that it was a mountain. The mountain wasn’t high, and the car drove directly up the mountain. They were now at the mountainside.
She got off the car with Zhan Haoze. He held her hand and walked to a small road on the side.
Shi Mengwan had a faint premonition in her heart. She knew why he brought her here and what he wanted to do.
Sure enough, after going around a small hill, she saw a very magnificent cemetery.
Someone behind Zhan Haoze handed him three bunches of chrysanthemums.
“Wanwan, this is my mom.”
Shi Mengwan looked at the cemetery. She realized that the cemetery wasn’t just for one person.
It was for three people. On both sides were two larger tombstones, and the one on the right was for a woman. The woman in the black-and-white photo had a bright smile on her face, and there was a slight resemblance between her and Zhan Haoze.
On the tombstone was written grave of the mother, Qiao Ruoliu. Zhan Haoze stood there weeping.
This was Zhan Haoze’s mother?
She looked at Zhan Haoze and then at the other two graves.
The larger one on the right was written grave of the father, Zhan Lie. It was also made by Zhan Haoze.
The Zhan Lie on the tombstone looked 70% similar to Zhan Haoze. He could be considered a combination of Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu.
That word ‘Qiao’ made Shi Mengwan look at Zhan Haoze once again. Qiao? Qiao Ze?
However, what attracted Shi Mengwan’s attention the most was the smaller tombstone in the middle.
Sister, Zhan Jiao’s tomb.
These simple words made Shi Mengwan’s eyes widen. She looked at Zhan Haoze in disbelief.
According to the time on these three tombstones. Zhan Haoze lost all his family members in almost a day. Parents, sister.
Zhan Haoze placed the flowers in front of the three tombstones, then squatted down in front of the tombstones. He reached out and touched the tombstone in the middle. His gaze was painful and distant.
“Actually, I don’t know if it’s a sister or a brother. I just hope that she’s a sister.”
Zhan Kun valued sons over daughters. He had many illegitimate children, but usually, he wouldn’t acknowledge them if they were girls.
It was impossible for him to have a good relationship with those girls from the Zhan family.
He hoped to have a sister, and he thought he would have a sister too, if there wasn’t that shot.
No, not just one shot, but many shots.
Shi Mengwan didn’t quite understand the first sentence, but she reacted to the second sentence. She stared at Zhan Haoze with her eyes wide open. Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word.
Zhan Haoze pressed his forehead against the tombstone. Actually, he knew that there was nothing there.
Whether it was his sister’s grave or his parents’, the insides was empty. Seriously speaking, these could only be considered empty graves.
Because whether it was Qiao Ruoliu or Zhan Lie, their bodies weren’t here.
Shi Mengwan looked at the three tombstones and her lips moved. She remembered that Zhan Haoze said that his mother was dead, but he didn’t say that his father was also gone.
“Dad, Mom, I’m here to see you guys.”
Zhan Haoze took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tombstones.
“Dad, Mom, I brought Wanwan to see you guys. Wanwan is the girl I mentioned to you guys. I’ve already proposed to her.”
Zhan Haoze thought of something and placed his forehead in front of the tombstones. His gaze was deep.
He once had a very happy family. His mother was an extremely ordinary primary school teacher, but she was very gentle. She liked children and also liked to laugh.
She was born in an ordinary family, but she unexpectedly met Zhan Lie, the eldest Young Master of the Zhan family who was prominent in Qing City.
She didn’t know Zhan Lie’s identity at the beginning. Zhan Lie was head over heels in love with Qiao Ruoliu. After knowing that his father wouldn’t agree to it, he eloped with Qiao Ruoliu.
Qiao Ruoliu’s mother was from Lin City, so the two of them settled down in Lin City.
Qiao Ruoliu taught while Zhan Lie found a job as an ordinary employee. The two of them didn’t have much money, but they were very happy.
Especially after having Zhan Haoze, the happiness became shared among three people.
As a primary school teacher, Qiao Ruoliu liked children very much, especially her own son. She would hold him in her arms and read to him.
When he was growing up, she would teach him to play the piano and sing.
And Zhan Lie, after getting rid of the controlling Zhan Kun, became an ordinary father.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe would take Zhan Haoze to the park and carry his son on his shoulders. He would take Zhan Haoze to play basketball and football.
That childhood was the happiest time in Zhan Haoze’s life.
He had a very happy family. This happiness lasted until he was nine years old.
When he was nine years old, Qiao Ruoliu became pregnant again. This was very happy news for the Zhan family.
At that time, she was only two months pregnant and her pregnancy still wasn’t obvious. However, Zhan Lie and Zhan Haoze already knew about it. They were looking forward to it and were very happy.
A new life had arrived. When Qiao Ruoliu asked the father and son whether they liked a son or a daughter, the two of them unanimously said that they wanted a girl.
“I’m going to be an older brother.”
Zhan Haoze was very happy at that time. This kind of happiness made him and Zhan Lie plan every day how they would dote on her if he had a younger sister.
He had many plans, how he would take care of this sister, how he would be a good brother.
Zhan Haoze would never forget what happened on the day of the accident. Because that day was Qiao Ruoliu’s birthday. Zhan Haoze wanted to give Qiao Ruoliu a birthday present.
That day happened to be Saturday. Zhan Haoze, thinking of hiding it to give Qiao Ruoliu a surprise, had prepared the present on the first day.
He thought about it, but didn’t know where to hide it. In the end, he chose to hide it in a cabinet in the living room.
That cabinet was very big. The day before, Qiao Ruoliu had just cleaned it out and said that she wanted to put something in it. Zhan Haoze was still small at that time, so he could just hide in it.
He hid well. He planned to wait for his mother and father to enter the door. When they entered the door, he would push open the cabinet door and jump out to give Qiao Ruoliu a surprise.
However, he didn’t expect that Qiao Ruoliu and Zhan Lie wouldn’t come back. Instead, Zhan Kun came first.
Zhan Kun brought Uncle Chi, and many people in black clothes broke into his house. He saw it through the crack of the cabinet door. He had never seen such a scene and was so scared that he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Zhan Kun had people search around the house, but he didn’t know what they were searching for. When a man in black walked over to open the cabinet he was in, he was terrified.
It was just then that Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu came back.
Qiao Ruoliu was pregnant. Zhan Lie was worried about her going shopping alone, so he accompanied her.
It was her birthday today, so when they went out, they even went to buy a cake.
Seeing Zhan Kun enter the house, both of them were shocked, and the things in their hands almost fell to the ground. Zhan Lie was a little more steady. He let Qiao Ruoliu carry the things into the kitchen, while he faced Zhan Kun himself.
Zhan Kun wanted him to go back to the Zhan family with him, but Zhan Lie refused. Zhan Kun threatened him with Qiao Ruoliu.
Zhan Lie knew that his father had always been a man of his word, but he never thought that he would have the intention to kill Qiao Ruoliu.
In the past, he had spent every day training to take over the Zhan family’s business. Everything he did was carried out according to Zhan Kun’s will.
As time passed, he had almost forgotten what he was originally like. Zhan Lie didn’t want to live that kind of life. He begged Zhan Kun to let him go. He didn’t want to go back to the Zhan family.
If he had to go back to the Zhan family, he had to bring Qiao Ruoliu back too. historical
Zhan Kun was angered by his son, but his face didn’t show a hint of emotion.
He opened his mouth again and asked Zhan Lie if he wanted to go back with him. When he received a negative answer, he vented all his anger on Qiao Ruoliu.
It was this woman, it was her, it was she who seduced his son. It was she who caused his son to become like this.
Zhan Kun didn’t expect that the son that he had spent so much effort to raise would one day be out of his control, so without thinking, he shot Qiao Ruoliu.
When Zhan Haoze saw the scene in front of him, his heart was torn apart. But before he could react, Zhan Lie had already rushed forward and blocked in front of Qiao Ruoliu.
That shot was right in the heart.
Zhan Lie died at the hands of his father just like that.
Zhan Kun didn’t expect that his shot would actually kill his son. His anger turned into shock.
But after the shock, it condensed into an even greater anger.
It was all that b*tch’s fault. It was her. She was the one who caused his son to sacrifice his life for her.
Zhan Kun was furious. Looking at Qiao Ruoliu, who had pounced on Zhan Lie while bawling her heart out, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
He held the gun and sending Qiao Ruoliu to her death, he fired twice.
Qiao Ruoliu fell on Zhan Lie’s body and died just like that.
Zhan Haoze was completely dumbfounded. He had even forgotten what he wanted to do and what he could do.
He looked at Zhan Kun, who was looking at the two corpses in front of him and coldly ordering his subordinates to dispose of them. At this moment, Zhan Haoze finally had a reaction.
He rushed out of the cupboard and pounced on his parents. He kept calling their names. But there was no reaction.
In the end, Zhan Haoze rushed up and randomly hit Zhan Kun, but his body was soon held up by others.
Zhan Kun wanted to eradicate the root of the problem and kill Zhan Haoze, but before he could kill Zhan Haoze, Uncle Chi’s phone rang first.
In the early years, Zhan Kun married the daughter of the Liu family for the sake of power. After his wife died, the Liu family took good care of Zhan Lie, this grandson of theirs.
Previously, he didn’t look for Zhan Lie because Zhan Lie was under the protection of the Liu family. Recently, the Liu family had gotten into some small trouble. Zhan Kun could finally teach Zhan Lie a lesson.
Who knew that this lesson would lose its propriety. Zhan Lie was dead.
However, at this time, Uncle Chi received the news Zhan Lie’s maternal grandfather had actually been re-elected.
Although Zhan Kun’s influence was large, he couldn’t disregard the power of the government. He had killed Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu on impulse.
But now that he had calmed down, he knew that he was in trouble. Zhan Lie’s grandfather pitied his grandson for having lost his mother early on, and placed great importance on this grandson.
Now, Zhan Lie was dead, and he died in his hands. It was the time for him to expand his influence, but if Zhan Lie’s grandfather were to go all out to deal with him, it would be quite troublesome.
Zhan Kun wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he didn’t want to stop the expansion of his business.
After thinking about it, he decided not to kill Zhan Haoze for the time being. At least, Zhan Haoze couldn’t die now.
He asked someone to knock Zhan Haoze unconscious and brought him back to Qing City. After that, in order to cover up his actions, he ordered Uncle Chi to dispose of Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu’s bodies. When they boarded the plane, Zhan Kun, who was already in a frenzy, looked at Zhan Haoze, who was knocked unconscious, and thought of a crazy plan.
He couldn’t let anyone know that he had killed Zhan Lie. Then the best way was to let Zhan Lie live.
On this point, Zhan Kun couldn’t help but feel fortunate. Although his illegitimate children couldn’t be seen in public, they were of some use at this time.
Because one of his illegitimate children looked 70% like him, and Zhan Lie’s appearance was very similar to his. This illegitimate child also looked 60% similar to Zhan Lie.
Zhan Kun got someone to bring the illegitimate child back to the old house. Then, he hired a first-class plastic surgeon to give the illegitimate child a minor surgery.
In the end, a fake “Zhan Lie” was born just like that. Zhan Lie’s grandfather was already old. He hadn’t seen his grandson for a few years, so he naturally missed him.
That illegitimate child was already married at this time and had given birth to Zhan Li and Zhan Yang. Zhan Kun knew all of this.
But in the past, he didn’t care about it, nor did he take it seriously. But now, he began to pretend to take it seriously.
He used some of Zhan Lie’s previous actions and habits to let the fake Zhan Lie learn until the two of them were very similar. Only then did he let him appear in front of Zhan Lie’s grandfather.
Why did he leave Zhan Haoze alive? It was his last trump card. If the fake Zhan Lie couldn’t fool him, then Zhan Haoze was still the great-grandson of the Liu family. At critical moments, this was always a protective talisman for himself.
If the fake Zhan Lie could fool him, then Zhan Haoze would be useless.
In fact, if Zhan Kun’s plan was carried out, it didn’t matter whether Zhan Haoze stayed or not.
It was Uncle Chi’s intention to let Zhan Haoze stay. He was part of the people who trained Zhan Lie. He had watched Zhan Lie grow up.
At that moment, he felt a trace of compassion. Zhan Haoze’s life was spared, but Zhan Haoze knew that his parents had died in Zhan Kun’s hands, so how could he let it go so easily?
In order to convince Zhan Kun, Uncle Chi proposed a suggestion to hypnotize Zhan Haoze and make him forget what had happened in the past.
It had to be said that this idea wasn’t bad. Zhan Kun had killed his own son on impulse. Although he didn’t regret it, he was still willing to give Zhan Haoze a chance.
The nine-year-old Zhan Haoze was hypnotized. He forgot about the nightmare that would follow him for the rest of his life.
Not only did he forget, but after being hypnotized, he actually thought that the fake Zhan Lie was his father.
In order to coax the Liu family, Zhan Li and Zhan Yang weren’t brought back to the Zhan family mansion. Zhan Kun decided to raise another heir that he liked.
That was Zhan Haoze. Didn’t he, Zhan Lie, not want to go back to the Zhan family? Didn’t he not want to take over the Zhan family?
Then he would let his son take over. He would let his son stay in the Zhan family forever.
The hypnotized Zhan Haoze kept feeling that something was wrong, but he was too young, and the power of hypnosis was too strong. He couldn’t remember.
But he instinctively didn’t like Zhan Kun, very much. Every time he faced him, he was very resistant. This included the fake Zhan Lie. He would call him father, but he no longer had the same closeness as before.
He not only wasn’t close to Zhan Lie, but he was cold towards Zhan Kun. Every time he saw Zhan Kun, his face would be cold.
Once or twice was fine, but after a long time, Zhan Kun wasn’t willing to see him anymore. After putting on an act in front of the Liu family and successfully deceiving the Liu family, he lost patience with Zhan Haoze, who was always displeased with him. Although he didn’t kill Zhan Haoze, Zhan Haoze was sent to a boarding school.
Zhan Haoze stayed in the boarding school until junior high school. When he was 14 years old, Zhan Li and Zhan Yang also entered this junior high school.
Under a certain opportunity, Zhan Haoze unexpectedly met the fake Zhan Lie, who sent Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, to school.
He wanted to go up and call his father. That was his father. Even if he no longer felt close to him, he was still his father.
But when he called his father, Zhan Li and Zhan Yang laughed at him. “He isn’t your father, he’s our father.”
He went to see Zhan Lie. Zhan Lie was at the Zhan family home and couldn’t say anything. After reprimanding Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, he told Zhan Haoze that he was his father and told him not to listen to the nonsense of Zhan Li and the others.
“If you are my father, then they are also your children? You have children with other women?”
In Zhan Haoze’s memories, his mother died in an accident, so his father “Zhan Lie” brought him back to the Zhan family.
But now, he was telling him that Zhan Lie had other children?
“Haoze, they are also my children, so they are your younger brothers.”
In the past, the fake Zhan Lie wasn’t willing to pretend to be Zhan Lie. but after he tasted the benefits of acting as Zhan Lie, he was no longer willing to give up.
“No, I don’t have a younger brother. I don’t have a younger brother.”
Zhan Haoze refused to accept it. He ran away. He remembered that he didn’t have a younger brother. He remembered that his parents were very loving.
But why was everything different after his mother died?
Zhan Haoze returned to the dormitory, and his head was splitting. But the suppression of the hypnosis didn’t make him remember. He only felt a headache.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut that day, there happened to be a birthday celebration in Zhan Haoze’s dormitory. That person brought back a birthday cake.
Seeing that Zhan Haoze wasn’t feeling well, he even said that he wanted to treat him to a cake.
Cake? Eat cake? Birthday? Those keywords made Zhan Haoze’s head hurt even more. He finally fainted from the pain.
His roommate quickly called the dormitory management, and Zhan Haoze sent to the hospital. In the hospital, Zhan Haoze remembered all the things.
He remembered, he remembered his mother died in the hands of Zhan Kun, he also remembered his father died in the hands of Zhan Kun.
Afterhis parents died, not only did he not avenge them, but he even called Zhan Kun ‘Grandpa’? He even followed Zhan Kun back to the Zhan family?
Zhan Haoze couldn’t forgive himself. He couldn’t stay in the Zhan family anymore. Not only couldn’t he stay in the Zhan family, he couldn’t stay in Qing City anymore either.
He was only fourteen years old. He wanted revenge. He wanted to kill Zhan Kun to avenge his parents. But he didn’t know how he could do it at fourteen years old.
Zhan Kun was a very cautious person, even when he was sleeping, there were bodyguards outside the door. Not to mention that every time he went out, there were more than a dozen bodyguards with him at all times.
Zhan Haoze couldn’t break through the bodyguards.
He left the hospital and returned to school.
He thought for a long time and thought for a long time, but in the end, he decided to leave first.
Just like that, Zhan Haoze left the Zhan family and left Qing City. At first, he didn’t know where to go. Later, he decided to go back to the city where his mother used to live, Lin City.
When Zhan Haoze found his home, he found that the area had been demolished and re-planned.
The home that he and his parents used to live in couldn’t be found anymore. Not only couldn’t be found, there wasn’t even a trace left.
But even so, Zhan Haoze didn’t think of leaving Lin City. This was the place where his parents had lived with him for nine years.
The more painful the later years, the happier the nine years seemed to be.
Shi Mengwan was stunned when she heard this.
That Zhan Kun, was he crazy? He killed his own son, daughter-in-law, and even his own grandson?
If such a person wasn’t crazy, he was probably already insane, right? After all, if he wasn’t insane, how could he do such a thing?
“Haoze?”
Shi Mengwan didn’t know what she could do at this time. She couldn’t even imagine what she would do if it happened to her, who had always had a happy family.
She squatted down and hugged Zhan Haoze’s shoulder.
It had been a long time since the incident. Any consolation would be useless now. She could only hug him tightly, and hug him with all her might.
Zhan Haoze looked at the three tombstones expressionlessly. His life was divided into two stages. Before the age of nine, after the age of nine.
No, it should be before the age of nine, and after the age of fourteen. Those few years in the Zhan family could only be considered a nightmare for him.
After the age of fourteen, every day, every hour, and every minute of his life was for revenge.
Shi Mengwan looked at his side profile and thought about everything he had experienced. At this moment, all the confusion and blame that she had for Zhan Haoze disappeared.
All that was left was a faint heartache.
Such a man had personally watched his parents die in front of him. How strong was his mentality to not break down?
She suddenly understood why Zhan Haoze’s face was always cold and why it was hard for him to laugh.
No one would be able to laugh at such a thing, right?
“Then, what happened after that?”
Zhan Kun, how was he now? Shi Mengwan looked at him with concern. Su Qingsang had heard about the Zhan family from Huo Jinyao. Su Qingsang had mentioned it to Shi Mengwan before.
Shi Mengwan knew that Zhan Haoze’s father was still around. But that Zhan Lie seemed to have a wife.
At first, she thought that Zhan Lie had married another woman, which was why Zhan Haoze’s relationship with his father was so bad, but she didn’t expect that Zhan Lie wasn’t Zhan Haoze’s father at all.
Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything. He stood up and looked at the tombstone.
“Dad, Mom, I’ve avenged you.”
It was only a simple sentence, but Shi Mengwan could understand what he meant.
“Your grandfather, that man, how is he?”
A person like that wasn’t worthy of being a grandfather. Although Grandma Shi was a bit out of tune, she was just a bit old-fashioned.
But what was Zhan Kun?
“He’s in the hospital.”
When he came, Tang Hua asked. Zhan Kun was sent in for resuscitation again. He had suffered two strokes and had suffered such a great shock. He probably wouldn’t live for more than a few days.
Zhan Haoze’s voice was a little cold. He held Shi Mengwan’s hand tightly. “I once thought of personally killing him.”
Shi Mengwan wasn’t surprised. Anyone who encountered such a thing would have such thoughts, right?
“But do you know why I gave up?”
