615 Blatant Rejection
In the past, Zhang Dan Shui was the unremarkable young official whom Zhang Dan Shang could trample however he wished.
But now...
'I don't believe you're better than me.'
Zhang Dan Shang's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. How come that supposedly low born and disgusting half-brother of his achieved more than him? He couldn't accept it.
Zhang Dan Shui was nothing more than a low born and stupid half-brother of his.
When they met later, he had to make sure that he put his half-brother to his proper place!

Zhang Dan Shui didn't really expect things to go smoothly for him either. He could see that not long after he had finished his dinner, a middle aged man came towards his table. Even though Zhang Dan Shui hadn't been staying in Zhang Family Residence for years, there was no way he would forget this steward.
"First Young Master Zhang," the steward greeted and bowed in accordance to etiquette.
Looking at the way the steward behaved, Zhang Dan Shui really wanted to sneer. In the past, this steward always looked so aloof and arrogant in front of him. There was not even a time when this steward would be the first one to greet him because in their eyes, he was nothing more than a low born son.
"Steward Pu, it's been a while since the last time we see each other." Zhang Dan Shui nodded.
Steward Pu smiled. "Master is waiting for you to come back, First Young Master. Would you please return with me?"
"I'm no longer the same child as back then, Steward Pu." Zhang Dan Shui looked at Steward Pu. "This time, I'll never let you order me around anymore. Do you think that time will not change everything?"
Looking at the way Zhang Dan Shui looked, Steward Pu had all the reason to believe that he might lose his life here. Heng Xing City used to be a small and lawless city. For Zhang Dan Shui to turn it into a thriving city within the span of few years already showed that he was a capable person.
And killing a mere servant who acted out of their place was nothing much.
"First Young Master, I...."
"Leave." Zhang Dan Shui waved his hand and the men went back. He looked at Steward Pu as the corner of his lips hooked to form a chilling smile. "Before I change my mind."
With that, Steward Pu ran away as if there was a horde of beast chasing after him.
Zhang Dan Shui snorted and took the cup of tea to his mouth. There were a lot of people who were watching him around here and he was sure that the rumors would spread. Even with the happiness of having winning the war against the joint army, there was no lack of idle people who liked rumors.
But he didn't care.
The bigger the rumor, the better it would be for him.
People treated filial piety as something that had to be done and Zhang Dan Shui also knew about it very well. But he didn't want to keep up the façade after everything he had experienced in Zhang Family back then.
They didn't even treat him like a human being and mocked him at every turn.
The servants would step on him as if they were the masters.
Zhang Dan Shui was tired.
How the Zhang Family treated him back then, he would bring it all to the surface and showed Zhang Family's real face to the world.
