*******
It's been two solid weeks since the internet was broken into two after the Zhang family's scandal, and a lot has happened following each passing day of threading around on eggshells.
Song Jujing arrived the country to take care of the plummeting stocks of Zhang Corps thereby putting a stop to the company going bankrupt.
Because of the severity of the heart attack Zhang Renshu suffered, he was given a bed rest and since he couldn't take care of work, he gave his ex-wife the authority to control Zhang Corps until he returns.
Through his lawyer, he released a public statement after he left the hospital, apologizing to the Ong's, the Tang's and the Fang's and also to the public as he never knew he was harbouring a criminal in his home, and that he was also a victim.
Thankfully, Zhang Renshu didn't have a lot to worry about now that Song Jujing was around to take care of things on his behalf.
Foremost, he was relieved that the documents for the share transfers he signed with Shi Wenqian and Zhang Mingyu were now invalid, thanks to the terms and conditions his lawyer added.
He was also a little more relieved after his divorce with Shi Wenqian was processed and stamped by the court.
With the anger of Shi Wenqian's betrayal, he sued her for paternity fraud, totally claiming all the assets in her hands as compensation for it, and also to the damage she had cause his Zhang family.
Of course, Shi Wenqian was a criminal that would soon go on trial so whether she liked it or not, she didn't have a say, and as her bank accounts were frozen and her assets seized by the court, she couldn't make any decision herself.
She could only continually bang her body on the wall of her prison cell in her uniform.
"Damn you! Screw you a billion times, Zhang Renshu!" That's all she kept screaming each time she remembered her loss.
After taking care of his ex-wife, Zhang Renshu kicked Zhang Mingyu out of the Zhang family's household register and the Zhang Residence, leaving nothing to his name.
He did that mercilessly and bitterly without even meeting him once.
Fortunately for the young man whose whole life came crashing down in front of him, Song Jujing intervened and helped him out.
"I know this is nothing compared to what you have lost, but it will be enough for you to start a new life in another country or city of you want." She said while handing him a check.
Staring at the check in her hand, Zhang Mingyu who looked nothing like the rich sheltered young master of the Zhang family, reached out to take it. "Thank you." He muttered through cracked lips.
Already, he had packed his things and was on his way leaving the house with his luggage when he met her at the entrance.
Song Jujing nodded. "Take your car with you. You can chose to sell it when you want to leave this city. It's your choice to make."
Again, Zhang Mingyu thanked her before taking the car from her. Having one last look as the only home he had known since he was born, he pulled his luggage and left.
Arriving at the car park, he loaded all his stuff into the trunk before getting into the driver's seat where he cried his heart out almost an hour before driving away.
In all of this mess caused by Shi Wenqian, Zhang Mingyu was the most pitiful.
With the betrayal and pain in his heart, he stopped by the prison Shi Wenqian was held in.
"Why did you do this to me? Why?!" He screamed while weeping uncontrollably.
"Do you even need to ask that after everything has been unfolded before your very eyes?" Shi Wenqian was unfazed by his situation and looked away. "Seeing how pathetic you are looking, Zhang Renshu must have chased you out of his house."
Zhang Mingyu was dumbfounded by her lack of remorse and care. "I thought you loved me. I thought you were my mother." He mumbled to himself as snort ran down from his nose.
"I am not your mother!" Shi Wenqian slammed while glaring hard at him. If there was nothing wedged between them, she would have beaten him up.
"Then who is my mother? Where is she? Since you stole her child from her, you must know her details! Tell me, where is she?! How do I find her? Where is my true family?!" Zhang Mingyu screamed as he attacked the thick plastic separating them.
Seeing the commotion, the policewoman watching them immediately hurried over to stop him from breaking the plastic glass wall.
Flinching backwards because of his sudden outburst, Shi Wenqian screamed back at him. "Your mother is dead! I made sure of that before living in peace!"
"What? You killed my birth mother?" Zhang Mingyu froze.
"I don't know, don't ask me! Also, you don't have any family. Your mother was a single mother. In fact, I didn't kill her. I don't have a hand in it, okay?" Shi Wenqian retorted and walked back to her cell by herself.
On the other hand, Zhang Mingyu was screaming for her to come back, but his words fell on deaf ears.
He was left alone, alone to fend for himself.
Apparently, a few days earlier, he had gone to the hospital to see Mikayla, but was told that she had been discharged two days prior to his visit so he went to her apartment only to be told that she had already moved away.
When he begged the landlady on his knees to give him information about her, it was only then that he learned that she had an abortion before moving away.
After seeing the secrets of the Zhang family unfold online, Mikayla had first gone into shock and only a few hours later, she registered for an abortion to be done immediately as she didn't want to keep the child of the fake son of the Zhang family.
She didn't want anything to do with Zhang Mingyu again, or any connection hence she immediately quit her job at Zhang Corps the same day she was discharged from the hospital.
Heartbroken and dejected with everything happening around him, Zhang Mingyu made a tough decision after a few days of secretly staying at a cheap motel to avoid the press.
He decided to move to a small country to restart his life.
