Chapter 313 Putting the cart before the horse
When Mother Zhou heard this, she was stunned and looked at Zhou Fang in disbelief.
Zhou Fang licked his lips and winked at her desperately while no one was paying attention, but he said firmly: "Madam, my name is Shen An!"
Mother Zhou's tears welled up instantly, her eyes reddened, and she stared at him intently, sternly saying, "Tell me again who you are?"
Zhou Fang was frightened by her expression and subconsciously wanted to wipe her tears, but as soon as she raised her hand, she forced herself to put it down.
He has done so much and is about to take the final step. He must not fail at the last moment.
Zhou Fang clenched his fist and pushed her away, his expression cold: "I'll say this one last time, you really have the wrong person, I'm not your son. My name is Shen An, the eldest son of the Shen family in J City, and she is my sister."
Shen Lan was pointed at and sneered, "I'm not your sister. I don't have a beastly brother who doesn't even recognize his own mother."
When Zhou Fang heard this, his face twisted slightly, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
"In order to deny my identity, you even went so far as to find a fake relative for me. Isn't that too shameless? Shen Lan, there's really no need!"
Zhou Fang's expression was sarcastic and hurt. Just as he was about to say the next sentence, he was suddenly slapped in the face.
He was caught off guard and was hit on the side of the face, causing a burning pain.
Because of the force used, Mother Zhou's right hand involuntarily spasmed and her face was covered with tears.
She looked at Zhou Fang disappointedly: "Is this what I taught you since you were a child? When did you become like this?"
"You pretended to be someone else for money, and you didn't even recognize your own mother..." Mother Zhou covered her chest, her voice uncontrollable and choked with sobs: "You said I was fake, and you didn't recognize me."
At this time, several more people came in at the door, all of them were Zhou Fang's relatives.
Father Zhou supported his wife and stood opposite Zhou Fang. "Why do you think we're here? We're all standing in front of you. Do you think they don't have evidence?"
"Zhou Fang, your mother gave you a chance, why did you insist on going all the way? You impersonated someone else and wanted a share of the inheritance. This is fraud and you should go to jail! If you go to jail, what will your mother do?"
Zhou Fang, with the slap mark on his face, looked at his mother who was shaking with tears, his father who looked heartbroken, and his thin and ignorant brother, and his heart was full of confusion.
His younger brother, who used to be closest to him, was now hiding behind his father's thighs, looking at him with a look of strangeness and a hint of hatred.
The younger brother seemed not to recognize him. He only knew that he was a bad man who made his mother cry and his father sad.
Wang Ling looked at him blankly and couldn't help but ask, "You are pretending to be Shen An and want to share the Shen family's inheritance. What do you plan to do with this money?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fang was stunned. It was as if his brain had been wiped with detergent, and suddenly he became clear.
"When Lu Chuan found me, I had just been laid off by the company."
Zhou Fang looked at his parents and said bitterly, "I'm thirty years old, I don't have any special skills, and I've interviewed with several companies but none of them wanted me. This is the first time I've experienced a 'midlife crisis'."
"My parents are old and retired with no income, my younger brother is still young, and I have to pay a high monthly mortgage and car loan. These are like mountains pressing down on me. I was walking on the street at that time and I wanted to die."
Lu Chuan found him and asked him to pretend to be someone, promising to give him a sum of money every month, reimburse all his expenses, and give him another huge sum of money after the task was completed.
He just needs to make some minor adjustments, learn body performance for a few days, and memorize relevant information about the Shen family and Shen An.
How could Zhou Fang refuse? He was not even afraid of death at that time. This was a perfect opportunity that fell from the sky!
Later, after memorizing all the relevant information about the Shen family, Zhou Fang admired the Shen Qiao family very much. When he learned that Lu Chuan was planning to take over the Shen family's inheritance, he felt guilty when he lied to Shen Lan.
But every time I talk to my parents, this guilt is suppressed.
He lied to his parents and said he was on a business trip. He didn't want to see his parents' disappointed and sad eyes, so he had to get the money.
With money, the whole family's life will be guaranteed and all practical problems can be solved.
He did these unconscionable things to make his family happy. Now it seems that he has completely put the cart before the horse.
After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he looked at the tears on his mother's face and suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
As soon as he said this, Tao Lan stomped her feet in anger.
Zhou Fang heard the noise, looked up at her, then his gaze shifted and fixed on Lu Chuan's face, speaking word by word.
"My name is Zhou Fang, and I'm from City A. Lu Chuan had me taken back to City J and had me undergo plastic surgery. I pretended to be Shen An and tried to defraud the Shen family of their inheritance."
