Chapter 61 - Bitten (2)
As soon as Song Wanwan said this, the anger on Old Madam Zang’s face intensified. She looked at Zang Ya and said in a stern tone, “Is this truly what you think? Do you really not take me seriously? I knew it. I knew that since that shuanger came into the household, you would no longer listen to me.”
“I shouldn’t have allowed him to stay, letting you indulge in softness and fall for a new beauty. Now you’ve become more and more reckless, speaking without distinguishing family from outsiders.”
Zang Ya glanced at Song Wanwan, who was standing next to him, and then at the angry Old Madam Zang in front of him. He smiled softly, bowed his hands to the person in front of him, and then said, “Grandma, don’t be angry. That Song Ningxiang is just the sister of an old friend of mine. I protected her only because her brother is useful to me, and his brother also very interesting. As for the shuanger I raised, he’s just my pet, and he’s neither of outsider nor insider. Why should Grandma care about such a person? It hurts the harmony.”
Listening to Zang Ya’s explanation, Old Madam Zang’s face improved slightly.
Song Wanwan’s face gradually became uglier. He would protect useful people, but he still had to teach her, his cousin, a lesson. So, what was her status in Zang Ya’s heart?
While Song Wanwan was thinking about this, Zang Ya spoke again, but his face was a little more serious. “As for the Song family, it’s just a small family grown big because they had grandma’s support. Why should Grandma care about it? You are worried over nothing.”
Song Wanwan forgot to cry and looked at Zang Ya with her mouth wide open.
Old Madam Zang raised her head and looked at Zang Ya.
Zang Ya said calmly, “Grandma loves her natal family and takes care of them. This is Grandma’s kindness. They provided for Grandma and amused Grandma. This is their blessing to bring you joy. I called them cousins and helped their families with work just because it makes Grandma happy and I always want to make Grandma happy. Were they really so arrogant that they thought, if I called them cousins, they immediately became the relatives of my Zang family?”
After Song Wanwan listened to Zang Ya’s words, her face turned ugly, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Old Madam Zang didn’t know how to react. Although Zang Ya had been unruly in the past, he would not have said such words. She didn’t know what had triggered his current unceremonious gesture.
Zang Ya, however, ignored the expressions of the two of them and continued calmly, “Since it’s well-known fact, it is natural that they should know their position. The family status of my Zang family is not something that any shabby guy could claim. If they knew how to be play, they should have always thought about making Grandma happy instead of bothering her with trivial things and causing trouble for her. This is not what a good natal family should do.”
“In the past, I allowed them to play around just to see if they were sensible, could please Grandma, and posed no obstacles to me. So, I gave them some convenience. Now they are so ignorant that they couldn’t see their own status clearly. They are just a servant that want to eat their master and urge their master to do things. I’m afraid I couldn’t keep them anymore.”
After Zang Ya said this, Old Madam Zang’s expression kept changing. She didn’t even know that this was what Zang Ya was thinking in his heart. She looked at Zang Ya, her lips trembled a little, and finally, she forced out a sentence, “You actually think like this?!”
Zang Ya raised his head to look at her, without evading her gaze at all, and said calmly, “Of course, I have not deceived Grandma. I am the legitimate son of the Zang family, and I will also be the one who makes the decisions in the future. What I want to do, I can naturally do. In the past, for the sake of Grandma, I have been merciful to the Song family. Nowadays, the Song family could not distinguish their own identity and blamed this grandson. They only thought that they could control this grandson by relying on the name of a relative. Naturally, Grandson do not want to get used to it. I just hope that Grandma could figure it out on her own and that this grandson doesn’t want to waste any more words. Otherwise, if the grandson did something bad, I wouldn’t be able to explain.”
Old Madam Zang looked at Zang Ya with disbelief in her eyes. She knew he was cold-hearted, but she didn’t know he was so heartless.
Old Madam Zang even felt a little scared in her heart, because she felt that Zang Ya said so and he also thought so. However, if Zang Ya wanted to do something, she had no choice.
Old Madam Zang knew that although she was the old madam of the Zang family, she had no rights at all, and outsiders only respected her for the sake of her son and grandson.
Her son had now been captured by that bitch surnamed You. If he was asked to do something, although he would listen a little, when it came to that bitch’s family, he would still jump around a little.
Only her grandson really did what she wanted, and he almost never disobeyed her in whatever he helped.
Now, if Zang Ya truly let it go or turned around and started to deal with the Song family, based on the current appearance of the Song family, which was glamorous on the outside but empty on the inside, it would soon fall into decline.
For a moment, Old Madam Zang had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn’t know how to react.
Song Wanwan sat there, listening to Zang Ya’s disparaging words about her family, but she couldn’t find any way to refute them, and she could only hold back her anger until her face turned red.
Finally, after hesitating for a while, she looked at Old Madam Zang, hoping that Old Madam Zang would punish Zang Ya for his nonsense.
Unfortunately, Old Madam Zang didn’t do what Song Wanwan wanted, and she didn’t know what she was thinking. She just held it in for a while, and finally could only say, “How can you say such treasonous and disrespectful words?”
Zang Ya suppressed the smile on his face, looked at his grandma calmly, and replied, “What is treason and disrespectful? These relatives are not needed. They are all here for their own sake. I don’t need them.”
Old Madam Zang looked at Zang Ya, her expression changing, but when she met his eyes, there was no emotion at all—no sadness, no joy, no anger, no resentment, just coldness.
At that moment, Old Madam Zang found that she was completely helpless against her grandson, whom she had loved since childhood. She could not hit him, scold him, or reason with him. She felt like a copper bean, unable to do anything to him.
