However, it was rare to see his son being sincere, so Zhang Shizhao didn’t know how to persuade him otherwise. He only hoped that his son would wake up sooner than later.
“Hello, Sir.” When they saw Zhang Shizhao, people would come up to greet him from time to time.
And their respect did not hide any hate in them. Instead, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
“It seems that the Zhang family is still very popular in Kaiyuan City.” Ling Chuxi now completely believed Feng Zijin’s words. Only Zhang Yuhong had done many evil deeds in the Zhang family and the others are innocent, otherwise, the people of Kai Yuan City wouldn’t love Zhang Shizhao so much.
“Kai Yuan City was originally just a small market. After the Zhang family came, it gradually developed to its current scale. Most of the people in this city had humble beginnings. If it weren’t for Kai Yuan City, they wouldn’t even be able to find a place to settle down in Qianzhong Ridge. Therefore, they are grateful to the Zhang family.” said Zhang Shizhao proudly when he heard Ling Chuxi’s praise.
“That’s because they didn’t recognize the young master of the Zhang family,” Feng Zijin added. Ling Chuxi had been treating him and Deng Zaibei along the way. Though they hadn’t completely recovered, their cross-eyed eyes and stutter had become less of an issue.
Zhang Shizhao subconsciously looked back. He was right. Zhang Yuhong’s face was covered in bloodstains and swollen like a pig’s head. His clothes had long been tattered thanks to Lan Xinyu so he was just wearing clothes from one of the guards. He hadn’t the slightest bit of his usual elegance and suaveness.
But even so, after a long time, some people still recognized Zhang Yuhong.
“Young Master Zhang is here, Young Master Zhang is here!” With a shout, the entire street was in chaos.
“Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me through first.” In the crowd, a middle-aged woman with a waist three times the size of Zhang Yuhong’s waved her fan-like hands to squeeze through the crowd while screaming at the top of her voice in panic.
“Auntie, it can’t be that bad. I heard that Young Master Zhang is lustful for women, while others only like delicate little girls. Why are you so nervous?” Someone teased.
“What do you know? I was once a beautiful flower in Kai Yuan City. I heard that Young Master Chang had changed his tastes recently. If he takes a fancy to me, wouldn’t my innocence be ruined in his hands?” The woman crossed her arms over her chest as if to protect herself.
“Uh.. please excuse me, ma’am. I need to throw up.”
“Big Brother, it’s fine if other people are nervous, but what are you, a man, nervous about?”
“Nonsense, didn’t you hear that Young Master Zhang wants to change his taste? I’m so fair, what if he takes a fancy to me?”
“Fair, how fair… why don’t we run too…” the person who spoke shivered and ran away too.
On the street, not only the women began to run, even the men began to run.
As long as there was a daughter in the house, regardless of the standard of their beauty, everyone shut every door and window they could. The city turned into chaos as everyone scrambled.
Zhang Shizhao’s expression froze. He had been so prideful earlier. But the current situation definitely left him in a bad position. When did his son develop such a reputation with women?
