Chapter 354: Dragging him out of there

Once Lu Chen got the message from Zhang Jian, he quickly drove to where he was. His expression was grim. 

'Something's wrong.' The message he got from Zhang Jian was, 

Come here. 

The location and these two words are the only things Zhang Jian sent. Lu Chen knew something was wrong. He knows Zhang Jian would never send things like this to him. 

Lu Chen drives up to the street. The place he arrives in front of is a bar.  When he walks in, a waitress comes up to him, 

But Lu Chen waves his hand before she can say anything, "I'm meeting with someone." He looks around and spots Zhang Jian. He's sitting at the bar counter. 

"Hit me with another one, barkeep." Zhang Jian's voice was a bit sluggish and groggy as he said this.

The barkeeper looks at him suspiciously, "Do you have enough to pay for all of this?" Zhang Jian drank around five glasses already. 

"Don't worry about, I-"

"You had enough." Lu Chen quickly pushes Zhang Jian's hand down. He takes out his wallet and hands his card to the barkeeper, "I'll pay for everything."

The barkeeper nods and takes Lu Chen's card. Lu Chen looks at Zhang Jian, "Let's go now." When he was about to put him across his shoulder, Zhang Jian pushed him away,

"C'mon, let me get one more drink." Zhang Jian's body tilts back and forth while he stands. Anybody could tell that he's too drunk.

"Seriously, stop acting like a child." Lu Chen sighs and grabs his hand and his bag. He quickly brings him out of the bar.

"Brother Chen, let's go have some fun!!!!" Zhang Jian waves his arms around, and Lu Chen's face turns dark. 

"Keep moving around like that, and I'm going to drop you." Lu Chen didn't think Zhang Jian would be so crazy. He asks him, "So why did you drink so much?"

"Because I want to." Zhang Jian gets off Lu Chen's shoulders and sits down on the ground. 

"...Did something happen at your parent's house?" Lu Chen noticed the two duffle bags when he carried it and Zhang Jian out.  

"Haha, what do you think?! That woman's trying to send me to the depths of hell! 

I knew she's evil the moment I saw her!" Zuo Qiaolian isn't Zhang Jian's mother. She's his stepmother instead. 

Even though she acts as a kind mother around Zhang Guo, Zhang Jian knows something's wrong with her. And with this, it just made Zhang Jian hate her more. 

That marriage is nothing more than a death wish upon him.

"..."

"What made it worse is how that fool follows everything she says!" You can hear the rage in Zhang Jian's voice. His father was at the beck and call of that woman. However, there was something else that made Lu Chen go wide-eyed.

"Do you know that man is the one who caused my mom to die?" Zhang Jian didn't hide anything. 

"You're too drunk. Don't spill something like that out to me." Lu Chen knows that the alcohol is getting to him. If it was the usual Zhang Jian, he wouldn't talk about this. 

"No! You got to listen to this!" Zhang Jian continues to shout out, "Did you know after I was born, that man never came back home! Do you know what he was doing? He had a child with that woman a few months after?!"

The first time Zhang Jian saw Zhang Ying and Zuo Qiaolian was when he was 5 years old. In that instant, it shattered his mind. He couldn't believe his father would bring somebody like that home! 

"..." Lu Chen continues to stay silent and sits down beside him as Zhang Jian continues to speak out, 

"Do you know why I want to become a singer? It's all because of my mom. She used to be a singer and musician. But when she got married, she had to give up her career.

When she saw the two, she just smiled. But I knew it was fake." Who can be happy when her husband brings home a woman and a child too?!

"Every day, I see her have this stressed smile on her face. But there is one time she would show a genuine smile." Zhang Jian has a reminiscing expression as he remembers.
