Chapter 002 vented a sense of resentment

Meng Qiang's wife, Zhang Meiqi, stood up with a cold smile, "Since we have no relatives like you, what are you two doing here today? Originally, although Dad said long ago that he had no daughter like you and had severed ties, after all, we share the same mother. Since you have come to our home seeking help, we cannot ignore you, can we? However, look at your son's attitude here"

Peng Yuanzheng suddenly stood up, a determined light shining through his eyes

"Wait at the door; your mother will be out soon," Meng Xiaojun said with a mocking smile, turning to close the door.

Seeing him burst through the door, Meng Xiaojun took two steps back and was momentarily taken aback

The turmoil has ended, the Meng family has been vindicated, and you have once again become the elite... Turn back and ask your own conscience, what have you all done? Not only did you force my mother to marry, but you also compelled her to abandon her own flesh and blood

Peng Yuanzheng went out and put on a yellow mask, heading straight to the Meng family located in the center of Xinan City

Meng Xiaogang coldly rebuked from the side

On the small coffee table between the two single sofas lies a portrait of Meng Qingtao. Meng Qiang and his wife sit on either side, casually crossing their legs. Meanwhile, his mother, Meng Lin, kneels there, tears streaming down her face, her shoulders trembling.

No upbringing, a despicable thing

Mother!" Peng Yuanzheng shouted, a heartfelt call filled with endless sorrow and anger emanating from the depths of his soul

In his previous life, he was unaware of the humiliation his mother endured in the Meng family, but what he witnessed today brought him heart-wrenching pain

Memories are like weeping and lamenting, past events rush by like the wind and lightning

Peng Yuanzheng pointed at Meng Xiaogang with his hand, his voice, though low, was exceptionally cold, "Do you have any family upbringing? Are you not a despicable person? Is your Meng family not a despicable family?"

Because the two families had no dealings with each other, this was still the first time Meng Xiaojun met her aunt Meng Lin's son, that lowly bastard from the Peng family whom her elders spoke of with disdain.

Enough, shut up! Get out!" Meng Qiang could no longer contain himself, slamming the coffee table and roaring.

Peng Yuanzheng's lips twitched slightly. This is his cousin, Meng Qiang's eldest daughter, Meng Xiaojuan, an employee of the Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Company in Xinan City

Mom, get up! Let's go! Peng Yuanzheng dashed forward and helped Meng Lin to his feet

Peng Yuanzheng rushed up the steps to the inner door of the Meng family in just a few strides, forcefully pushed open the door, and upon entering, found himself in the living room of the Meng family

You are not a despicable person; you come from a noble background, a member of a prestigious family. But look at your character: lazy and indulgent, superficial and frivolous, a spoiled rich kid

You have family education, you are the son of the deputy mayor—yet you humiliate your own aunt in front of your parents. Is this the family education of the Meng family?

Since fate has once again returned to this crucial juncture in life, he cannot allow his mother to be humiliated and driven to a dead end, nor is he willing to return to the path of a weak and repressed life he experienced in his previous existence

Peng Yuanzheng cast an angry glance at Meng Qiang and his wife, and coldly said, "Mom, we don't need to rely on anyone; we have no such relatives!"

This is the "old residence" of the Meng family, an independent two-story building located within the retirement home of Xinan City. The eldest son of Meng Qingtao, Meng Jun's family lives on the first floor, while the second son, Meng Qiang's family, resides on the second floor. Later, Meng Jun became wealthy and moved out to buy a villa, so this house is essentially occupied by Meng Qiang's family of four

Peng Yuanzheng roared with unrestrained fury, channeling the humiliation and anger accumulated from past and present lives into a torrent of verbal assault, mercilessly berating Meng Qiang's family with a barrage of insults, thereby releasing a pent-up rage.

Peng Yuanzheng became increasingly agitated as he spoke, suddenly raising his hand to point at the photo of Meng Qingtai on the small tea table, "Have you all forgotten? You have all completely forgotten—who was it that secretly took you to the hospital to treat your injuries while you were being criticized? It was my father! And who was it that time and again saved rations and delivered meals to your entire family, come rain or shine... it was still my father!"

Meng Qiang maintained an air of authority, remaining silent while gently waving a paper fan in his hand; his wife, on the other hand, cast a disdainful glance, remaining indifferent. Their younger son, Meng Xiaogang, stood to the side with his arms crossed, wearing a cold smile, gesturing and pointing at Meng Lin.

The mother, who endured hardships to raise him into adulthood, a strong and proud woman who had never bowed to fate in her life, suffered this immense humiliation for the sake of her son

Meng Xiaojun was taken aback for a moment, then her lips twitched slightly as she immediately regarded Peng Yuanzheng with disdain, scrutinizing him closely.

Who are you looking for?" Meng Xiaojun asked suspiciously as she scanned Peng Yuanzheng.

Who is it, knocking on the door and making such a noise? What do you want

Is this the kind of thing that cultured people and the elite do

Peng Yuanzheng's sudden appearance caught the Meng family off guard. Meng Lin abruptly turned to look at her son, and tears of humiliation and sorrow streamed down her face once again

Meng Lin struggled for a moment and forced a smile, saying, "Yuan Zheng, this is your second uncle and second aunt, not yet..."

A family devoid of affection, ungrateful, and morally decayed, what is there to be proud of? Whoever dares to insult my mother again, I will not rest until we are at odds to the death

In the most difficult times, when the Meng family faced betrayal and abandonment, my father resolutely stood by your side... My father was tortured to death in his efforts to protect my mother and to avoid divorcing her

Standing before the black gate of the Meng family, Peng Yuanzheng steadied himself and resolutely knocked on the door with a series of firm knocks

The rural earth bun's Peng Jiaye... what a cultured and educated university president, an intellectual, a renowned scholar. Do not forget, sixty to seventy years ago, he—yes, he—was still a bare-bottomed cowherd. Look down on farmers? Has he forgotten his roots?

Peng Yuanzheng got out of the car at the entrance of the retirement home, greeted the security guard, and then strode purposefully towards the third unit in the second row

I am looking for my mother, Meng Lin" Peng Yuanzheng said calmly

A very impatient female voice came from the courtyard, followed by the sound of shoes being kicked off and the clattering of footsteps. The door was opened, revealing the face of a relatively beautiful young woman with light makeup in front of Peng Yuanzheng

Peng Yuanzheng suddenly pushed the door open and walked in

With just a glance, Peng Yuanzheng saw a scene that made his blood boil, a sight so infuriating that it nearly drove him to madness

Meng Xiaojun is a girl, and she is tall and strong. How could she possibly withstand someone forcefully pushing the door open and entering

You Meng family are not of lowly character; you belong to the upper class. Yet, when your entire Meng family was criticized and suppressed, who was it that actively agreed to let my mother marry my father? It was him

Meng Qiang has one son and one daughter. His eldest daughter, Meng Xiaojuan, was born in 1969, and his son, Meng Xiaogang, was born in 1972. One has recently graduated from university and started working, while the other is currently attending university

Peng Yuanzheng was furious, enraged

Peng Yuanzheng's understanding of Meng Xiaojuan comes from a previous life. Meng Xiaojuan's later husband also worked within the government system and had interacted with Peng Yuanzheng, who was working in the district government office, on several occasions.
