Chapter 544 - The Best Clown in Town (2)
A month later, a news broke out saying that the young president of the Feng Conglomerate was physically assaulted. Zhang Jiren had laughed hysterically as he watched the news from the comfort of his home.
"That's the first, Feng Tianhua. In the future, I'll make sure you'll be the best clown everyone would see." Zhang Jiren chuckled before sipping his alcoholic drink.
He took his phone and scrolled through the pictures that were taken of Feng Tianhua being beaten black and blue until his face was too swollen and he was limping in pain. It was easy for Zhang Jiren to arrange someone to attack Feng Tianhua, and they shouldn't be able to trace it back to him.
"Feng Tianhua, oh, Feng Tianhua. How stupid could you be to choose another woman over my sister? You didn't even suspect that she drugged my sister, sending him to another man's bed. But why would you care, right? My sister would never love a loser like you." He muttered to himself.
Zhang Jiren knew that his sister was still in New York with Li Meili, but it was hard to keep tabs on her because of the distance between them. He could only check on her once a month, while still worrying over his father's health that kept failing and getting worse every time he saw him.
It broke his heart to know that his father had lost the will to live and was willing to follow their mother to the afterlife.
A few months later, the news that his twin sister had given birth to a pair of twins reached him. A boy and a girl. Zhang Jiren was only able to know the names but wasn't able to get a photo of his nephew and niece.
"Dad, Sister Moyu has already given birth. She has twins with her now."
"Twins, huh?" Tang Lixue, who was now bedridden and could only speak a few words to his son. Even speaking and breathing was starting to get painful for him. He knew his days were already numbered. "Just like you and Moyu."
"Yes." Zhang Jiren nodded with a bitter smile. "I hope they will never get separated like we did."
"What are their names?" Tang Lixue inquired. It broke his heart to know that his beloved daughter had to give birth alone, without anyone but Li Meili to support her.
"Feiyu and Feixiu. The boy is the older one." Zhang Jiren answered him.
"Feiyu. Feixiu. Such beautiful names. I-I wish I could see them before I die." Tang Lixue sighed, followed by a painful groan.
"Don't say such depressing words, Dad." Zhang Jiren frowned at his father. He was not quite ready to lose him. In fact, he was afraid to be left alone again. "I'll try to request the investigators for a photo of the twins."
As much as he wanted to fly to New York to see his twin sister, Zhang Jiren could not abandon his father like this. Plus, he had just recently joined Zhang Corporation with the intention of succeeding Zhang Xianzhe in the future. He needed to be careful not to disturb the venomous snakes in their nest.
The sooner he could ascend and secure his position, the better. Anyway, Zhang Xianzhe's children were all idiots in the first place. They only knew how to spread their palms, waiting for fortune to befall on them without actually working for it.
Zhang Xianzhe wasn't blind, so Zhang Jiren would use this chance to be named as his successor.
As for the Tang family and Feng Tianhua, they'll need to wait until he gains an upper hand to destroy them. Since there was no assurance that his twin sister was going to come back, he was willing to destroy them himself.
"Lingjun, I already prepared my will. I left everything to Moyu. I'm sorry."
"Dad, it's okay. Sister Moyu needs it more than me. I can squeeze more from the Zhang family anyway, so don't worry about me." He assured his father.
But there were things that Zhang Jiren could never control and influence, like his father's death. Tang Lixue who silently passed away on his death bed at the hospital, holding a picture of his daughter, along with his grandbabies.
Zhang Jiren took the photo from his father's hand and left the hospital immediately. By now, the Tang family should have already been informed of his father's passing. He didn't want to see any of them, including Zhang Wuying.
To be able to exact revenge on those people who wronged him and his family, Zhang Jiren knew he needed to be level headed. So, he refused any confrontation with them, at least for now.
Zhang Jiren found himself alone once again. With his father dead and twin sister away from the country, he had no one by his side. Unlike Tang Moyu who had Li Meili, Zhang Jiren didn't have any friends or close companions.
When Tang Lixue's remains were buried, he waited for everyone to leave the place, intending to pay his last respects, but his twin sister beat him to it. He was shocked to see Tang Moyu standing in front of their father's grave, staring at his name that was inscribed on the gravestone.
She remained standing there, not saying a word for half an hour before leaving. Unlike the last time Zhang Jiren saw her, Tang Moyu looked better. She was still as beautiful as he could remember, and the sadness in her eyes was now replaced with a gentle smile.
At first, Zhang Jiren thought that this was the perfect time for him to come clean and ask her to help him destroy their enemies, but the slight smile on her face as she answered her phone, talking to her children changed his mind.
"I guess I'll have to do all the hard work then." He sighed to himself and left. The only thing that mattered to him was his sister's happiness, and that all that mattered. To him, she didn't need to be entangled in a web of revenge if she was already happy. He'd do it for both of them.
