The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 320

Chapter 320 – Except she wasn’t the original owner! (2)

Looking at how Zhang XiaoLu was struggling to get his words out, Yan Shuyu’s bad feeling got progressively stronger.

As she had already broken the silence, the two finally sat down not to far away from each other and started catching up. Mainly it was “Zhang XiaoLu” catching her up on what had happened to him in the last few years.

Truth was, he was, indeed, kidnapped. His real parents were prominent figures. His father was in politics and was assigned to a post in the province next to where they grew up. When his mother brought him to visit his father one time when he was three years old, he was taken from her at the crowded trains station. He ended up in a backward village. Unfortunately, he was too young at the time and didn’t retain much of the memories.

His parents had been looking for him over the years but all of their efforts were like searching for a needle in a haystack, all of them fruitless. His father continued to climbed the political ladder and they ended up in Capital City. As such, the past had slowly been left behind.

The reason “Zhang XiaoLu” was finally located mainly because of his striking resemblance to his father. A few years ago, a cousin of his came to their city for a business trip and bumped into Zhang XiaoLu. He was shocked when he saw the young man who looked almost identical to his uncle when he was young.

His cousin was a few years older than him and the frenzy at home during the period of time when his cousin was lost was very memorable. He set out to look into it right away and wanted to find out the truth before he looped in his family. Except the accident came too abruptly. The cousin had just started looking into him before the shooting and the car explosion. A few of the hooligans died on the spot. “Zhang XiaoLu”, too, was in critical condition. His cousin, who had been monitoring him actively, sent him to the hospital right away and that was the reason he was saved.

“Zhang XiaoLu” was seriously injured and stayed in ICU for two weeks. The DNA test result came back before he even regained consciousness and it was confirmed that he was the long-lost child of the cousin’s family. His parents were both happy and sad at the same time and wanted to transfer him back to Capital City to continue his treatment. The experts at the time said the situation was very dire. That Zhang XiaoLu could either become paraplegic or remain in a persistent vegetated state. His parents had both money and relationships, so they had their mind set on providing him with the best medical care that money could buy.

If only his condition would have allowed, his mother would have quit her job and take her to the US of A for treatment.

The entire family’s attention was focused on the one who was in critical condition. His cousin’s investigation results also came back during this time and he learned that “Zhang XiaoLu” was married and have a child. His parent, on the other hand, could not spare the attention on that. They just wanted to wait till his had recovered before they decided on their next move. “Zhang XiaoLu” finally regained consciousness two months later. He was not paraplegic, but it was true that he wasn’t able to walk right away. Most importantly, he had sustained serious injury to his head and had lost his memories.

Luckily, he was already out of the woods and his parents could finally spare their efforts to tend to matters of Yan Shuyu and her son. Lo and behold, they were infuriated when they saw the reports on Yan Shuyu.

Per the investigation, “Zhang XiaoLu” was bought by the Zhang family. The Zhang couple did not treat him as well as they did their own child but, as a boy, they were still much nicer to him than the girls in the Zhang family. They didn’t beat him or scold him and even sent him to school. Had he not run off, he would have been able to pass the national college entrance examination and get out of that environment. Nevertheless, being encouraged by the original owner, he ran off with her before he finished his own education. Without family or academic background, he couldn’t even get a semi-decent job and could only become a hooligan to support his family. Worst of all, he always died on the streets.

As his parents, the more upset they were about what had happened to their son over the years, the angrier they were with the original owner. They were already angry at the village that had kidnapped their son, now they were even more upset after learning about what had happened.
