Chapter 309: Chapter 309 They Are All of a Kind!_1

Seeing this, the onlooking neighbors grew even more suspicious, and someone urged, "Young Master Wang, you must explain yourself quickly, lest we only hear one side of the story and wrongfully accuse you."

Wang Youbao first looked gratefully at An Jing, then clasped his hands and said, "Everyone, it’s like this, I’m sure you’ve heard before that my second uncle’s legitimate second son, my cousin Wang Youtao, was adopted by my father. At that time, my father was confused, but later when he came to his senses, he returned Wang Youtao to my second uncle’s care. Wang Youtao, coveting my father’s assets, was willing to be adopted, and when the adoption failed, and he didn’t receive any part of my father’s estate, of course, he bore a grudge and several times—"

"Who harbors a grudge? Who covets your dad’s property? You’re slandering me!" Wang Youtao cursed at the top of his lungs.

An Jing simply smiled, "Not letting Young Master Wang finish speaking and getting so agitated, heh, it looks like it’s true."

"You!" Wang Youtao pointed at An Jing, so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

Suddenly, seeing Xiao Changyi, he abruptly remembered that he had seen these two people before.

Immediately, Wang Youtao pointed at An Jing and Xiao Changyi and raised his voice again, "I know you, you’re his friends! And you call him Young Master Wang, I was almost fooled by you! Everyone, don’t listen to this man, they’re all the same kind!"

"What if we are Young Master Wang’s friends?" An Jing replied slowly, the epitome of calm, "Everyone has a sense of justice in their hearts and can discern right from wrong. You’re blocking the way and not letting Young Master Wang speak, which indicates nothing but guilt, as far as I can see."

Immediately someone from the crowd of onlooking neighbors scolded Wang Youtao, "Let Young Master Wang finish his speech. We’ll decide for ourselves. We don’t want to take one family’s word for it and wrong a good person."

Wang Youtao and Uncle Wang, seeing that everyone wanted to hear the rest of what Wang Youbao had to say, became increasingly anxious and angry, but they had no way to stop the people from listening to Wang Youbao.

Wang Youbao then continued, "Wang Youtao, harboring resentment, has been barging into my house causing trouble since my father died, and he even injured several of my family servants. I confronted Wang Youtao, but he wouldn’t listen and continued to come to my house to cause disturbances. I had no choice but to seek out my second uncle for help, but he didn’t do anything and even indulged Youtao’s behavior. Youtao would smash things and assault our servants; how could I tolerate such chaos?"

After taking a breath, Wang Youbao continued, "Since my second uncle didn’t care, I asked our clan’s clan leader and elders to intervene. Then, Wang Youtao temporarily toned down his actions, but my second uncle couldn’t stand it, blaming me for involving the clan and personally causing even more trouble than Youtao. It got so bad that I had to once again ask the clan for a resolution."

"Then, Uncle Wang was reprimanded by the clan. He blamed me even more, and in front of our clan leader and elders, he hurled all kinds of insults at me. He even said I was no nephew of his and declared that he would no longer associate with me. But as he left in anger, he also said he would come back to stir up trouble in my house and make my life difficult. I had no choice but to tell the doorkeeper to never let these two into my house again."

"I did so out of respect for his old age, and because he is my father’s own brother, still willing to call him Uncle, but then he came again with Wang Youtao to make trouble... I originally had no intention of airing our dirty laundry in public, but now, they forced my hand... Ah..." As he spoke, Wang Youbao sighed helplessly.
