Chapter 615 Blatant Rejection

Chapter 615: Blatant Rejection

In the past, Zhang Dan Shui was the unremarkable young official whom Zhang Dan Shang could trample however he wished.

But now...

'I don't believe you're better than me.' 0 Zhang Dan Shang's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. How come that supposedly low born and disgusting half-brother of his achieved more than him? He couldn't accept it.

Zhang Dan Shui was nothing more than a low born and stupid half-brother of his.

When they met later, he had to make sure that he put his half-brother to his proper place!

<Inn

Zhang Dan Shui didn't really expect things to go smoothly for him either. He could see that not long after he had finished his dinner, a middle aged man came towards his table. Even though Zhang Dan Shui hadn't been staying in Zhang Family Residence for years, there was no way he would forget this steward.

"First Young Master Zhang," the steward greeted and bowed in accordance to etiquette. Looking at the way the steward behaved, Zhang Dan Shui really wanted to sneer. In the past, this steward always looked so aloof and arrogant in front of him. There was not even a time when this steward would be the first one to greet him because in their eyes, he was nothing more than a low born son.

"Steward Pu, it's been a while since the last time we see each other." Zhang Dan Shui nodded.

Steward Pu smiled. "Master is waiting for you to come back, First Young Master. Would you please return with me? "Return?" Zhang Dan Shui chuckled. Over the years, he had learned how to hide his intention, feelings, and even his real thoughts. His expression still seemed so amiable, yet his words were anything but that. "My apologies, Steward Pu, but staying in this inn is much better for me." "That wouldn't be appropriate, would it?" Steward Pu showed a troubled expression. "Master has been waiting for you to come back, First Young Master. Madam had also asked the servants to prepare for a feast" 0 "A feast from Madam Zhang? I'm afraid that someone of low born like me wouldn't be suitable to accept it." "First Young Master, please don't make things difficult." "Did I really make things difficult? I'm only staying outside because this inn is warmer than Zhang Family Residence. There's no need for me to return into that place anymore." Zhang Dan Shui looked at Steward Po and said each words slowly, "Besides, I have said back then when I leave that I'll never ever step on Zhang Family Residence again in my life." 0 Steward Pu's expression changed. It was true that Zhang Dan Shui had said it back then. When he was leaving with his mother, he said it in front of the residence that he would never ever step his feet on Zhang Family Residence again in his entire life. Even if he returns to the Capital City, he would not seek Zhang Family's help. "First Young Master, there might be some misunderstanding... back then, Master didn't mean that way." "Is he?" Zhang Dan Shui looked at Steward Pu. "How he treats me on daily basis, aren't you clear about that, Steward Pu?" "First Young Master, please follow me." Steward Pu took a deep breath and strengthened his resolve. When Zhang Family Head gave the order, he said that Steward Pu had to bring Zhang Dan Shui. It didn't matter whether he used soft or harsh method.

Zhang Dan Shui looked at Steward Pu with a faint smile. His expression looked as if he was challenging Steward Pu because it clearly spoke the word, 'Make

Swish!

Just as several people were about to make a move outside, several others appeared and put their sword on the other party's neck. They didn't kill, but it was clear that they would should these group of people made a move. Steward Pu's expression turned grave. He looked at Zhang Dan Shui, clearly not believing that this was the same weak young master as the one back then. Only five years had passed yet the changes were enormous. "I'm no longer the same child as back then, Steward Pu." Zhang Dan Shui looked at Steward Pu. "This time, I'll never let you order me around anymore. Do you think that time will not change everything?" Looking at the way Zhang Dan Shui looked, Steward Pu had all the reason to believe that he might lose his life here. Heng Xing City used to be a small and lawless city. For Zhang Dan Shui to turn it into a thriving city within the span of few years already showed that he was a capable person.

And killing a mere servant who acted out of their place was nothing much. "First Young Master, I...." "Leave." Zhang Dan Shui waved his hand and the men went back. He looked at Steward Pu as the corner of his lips hooked to form a chilling smile. "Before I change my mind."

With that, Steward Pu ran away as if there was a horde of beast chasing after him.

Zhang Dan Shut snorted and took the cup of tea to his mouth. There were a lot of people who were watching him around here and he was sure that the rumors would spread. Even with the happiness of having winning the war against the joint army, there was no lack of idle people who liked rumors.

But he didn't care.

The bigger the rumor, the better it would be for him. People treated filial piety as something that had to be done and Zhang Dan Shui also knew about it very well. But he didn't want to keep up the façade after everything he had experienced in Zhang Family back then. They didn't even treat him like a human being and mocked him at every turn. The servants would step on him as if they were the masters. Zhang Dan Shui was tired. How the Zhang Family treated him back then, he would bring it all to the surface and showed Zhang Family's real face to the world. 0 ><><
