?Chapter 742: Chapter 742: The Visitor Means No Good_1 Chapter 742: Chapter 742: The Visitor Means No Good_1 At these words, Zhang Qingxiang sighed, then said, “Little sister, you’ve suffered so much over the years, and it’s our fault.

Father, as well as elder brother and the rest, have always felt very sorry towards you.

You must still hold many grumbles against us now, don’t you?”

With these words uttered, the atmosphere in the car immediately became heavy.

Zhang Qingxiang kept her head down, not even daring to look at the expression on Mother Xu’s face.

Putting herself in the other’s shoes, if she were Mother Xu, harboring resentment towards the Zhang Family would be nothing but normal.

Mother Xu spoke up, “I am not a saint, to say I have no grievances at all would definitely be a lie, I wouldn’t believe it myself.”

Zhang Qingxiang’s expression instantly became somewhat somber.

Then, she heard Mother Xu continue, “But no matter what, we are all family after all, carrying the same blood in our veins.

Plus, so many years have passed, and I have gradually come to terms with it.

Moreover, if I hadn’t let go, I wouldn’t have made the trip back here at this time.”

Zhang Qingxiang looked up, her expression filled with emotion as she stared at Mother Xu: “Really?”

“Of course it’s true,” Mother Xu nodded.

Zhang Qingxiang’s face finally lit up with a smile again, then she picked up her phone and said, “We are almost there, I’ll let elder brother and the others know.”

…

Inside the Zhang family estate.

“Big brother, they are simply too much!

Such bullying is intolerable!”

In the living room, the speaker was a portly middle-aged man in his fifties, looking very angry at this moment.

Opposite him was another middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to him, smoking heavily without a word.

These two men were the Zhang family’s eldest, Zhang Minghui, and the second brother, Zhang Mingfei.

Besides these two brothers, on the couch beside them were two more middle-aged women, the sisters Zhang Qinglan and Zhang Qinghui.

Zhang Qinglan also spoke up angrily: “This Song Tong, being just a side branch in their Song Family, dares to be so arrogant.”

“If it were in the past, the Song Family wouldn’t even be worth our attention.

But there’s nothing we can do since Xu Family is supporting them now.

So, all of this essentially comes down to blaming Zhang Qingning.

If she hadn’t killed the Xu Family Head, Xu Fan wouldn’t have taken it out on us.

What on earth got into Zhang Qingning that she committed such an infuriating and stupid act,” Zhang Qinghui complained with a disgruntled face.

“Fourth sister, you can’t say that,”

The seventh sibling, Zhang Mingpeng, who had been silently sitting on another couch, finally raised his head and spoke, “What kind of person our second sister is, even if strangers don’t know, shouldn’t we?

She would never kill someone, let alone her own husband.

And if it weren’t for second sister’s help, our Zhang family would not even amount to a second-rate clan.

Even though we are being suppressed by the Song family now, this is far better than our previous status.

So, both logically and emotionally, you have no reason to blame her.”

“What do you mean by that?

Is all this my fault?” Zhang Qinghui became even angrier.

Zhang Mingpeng scoffed, “I did not say it’s all your fault.

I just don’t want us blaming each other within our own family.

Moreover, what you all did back then was already too much.”

“Too much?

That was for the sake of the entire clan…” Zhang Qinghui angrily retorted.

However, before she could continue, the eldest Zhang Minghui impatiently interrupted, “Enough, enough, what time is it, and you’re still arguing here.

What’s the use?”

Within the Zhang Family, Zhang Minghui’s words carried weight, leading Zhang Qinghui to snort coldly and shut her mouth.

At that moment, Zhang Minghui’s phone in his pocket began to ring.

Zhang Minghui frowned and took out the phone to answer.

“Hello, oh it’s little sister, what’s up?

We’re in a meeting here; why haven’t we seen you yet?

Where have you been?”

“Big brother, I went to the airport to pick up little sister.

She’s now in Lishui City, and her two children, Xu Fan and Xu Yue have also come.

You wouldn’t believe it; little Fan is getting married and even has a four-year-old daughter…”

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Qingxiang’s voice came through.

The volume from the telephone receiver was not low, and the people around could hear it clearly.

“Is the second sister here?” Zhang Minghui was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed even deeper.

Apart from Zhang Mingpeng, none of the others showed any joy at this long-awaited reunion.

Only Zhang Mingpeng couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy.

Zhang Minghui then asked, “But I remember the second sister was imprisoned by the Xu Family, wasn’t she?

How could she come to Lishui City?”

“The second sister has been vindicated and the truth has come out, so naturally, she was released.

But it’s not clear over the phone, let’s talk in detail when we meet, we’re almost there,” Zhang Qingxiang replied.

“Alright then,” Zhang Minghui could only nod in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingfei confirmed, “Big brother, did the phone call just now say that the second sister is coming to Lishui City?”

“That’s right,” Zhang Minghui put his cell phone into his pocket and nodded.

Upon confirmation, Zhang Mingfei, Zhang Minglan, and Zhang Qinghui all looked noticeably unnatural.

Regardless, they had all cast approving votes for the “valiant decision” at the time, and indeed they had wronged Zhang Qingning.

Now that Zhang Qingning had arrived in Lishui City, in their eyes, she was surely coming to settle scores, and how could this make them happy?

“Haha, this is great, the second sister is safe and sound, and that’s better than anything.

I’ll have the kitchen prepare some good dishes right away, so our family can enjoy a good meal together,” Zhang Mingpeng said excitedly, ready to stand up and head out.

“Don’t rush,” Zhang Mingfei called out to him, frowning, “Little brother, don’t be confused.

The second sister’s sudden arrival in Lishui City is not something to celebrate, in my opinion.”

“What do you mean by that?” Zhang Mingpeng asked with displeasure.

“It’s not about what I mean, but the reality of the situation.

Our relationship with the second sister had become extremely sour, and there’s no doubt she holds a lot of resentment toward us in her heart.

?????.??

Now that she’s come to Lishui City, do you really think she’s just here to see us?

Most likely, she has ill intentions—good does not come from such visits!”

Zhang Minghui spoke coldly, “Moreover, the Song Family is still putting pressure on our Zhang Family.

If we welcome the second sister now, it will undoubtedly give the Song Family a pretext to cause trouble, making the situation even worse.”

Zhang Mingpeng said, “I’ve always believed that the second sister was framed by treacherous people.

And, both the eldest sister and the second sister have taken great care of me since we were little.

Even if the second sister hates me, I won’t hate her.

Knowing the second sister’s character, her coming to Lishui City is most likely to resolve our differences and reconcile.”

Zhang Qinghui sneered, “The eldest sister and the second sister have always looked after you since you were young, so naturally, you consider them in every way, but we feel differently.”

Zhang Mingpeng’s face turned angry.

Zhang Minghui said, “Enough, what’s there to argue about?

Anyway, now that Zhang Qingning has come, we can’t neglect etiquette.

Little brother, go and instruct the kitchen.”

However, his tone clearly still treated Zhang Qingning as an outsider.

Zhang Mingpeng sighed, knowing that saying more would be of no use.

He was just about to turn and leave.

At that moment, Zhang Minghui’s phone suddenly rang again.

Zhang Minghui looked at the phone and saw an unfamiliar number, so he hung up without a second thought.
