Chapter 1869: Who Are You?

“Uncle, I’ll help you too!” Wang Yang’s wife gave a stiff laugh. All she wanted to do right now was to return home to warm up her body.

That evening before they went to bed, Wang Yang verified Zhu Chengqi’s situation again. “After I left today, did anything happen? No one visited the old man, right?”

Wang Yang’s wife rubbed on her face cream while admiring herself in the mirror. She laughed before saying, “Dear, I think you’re a coward. I wasn’t around when the old man was younger, so I have no idea whether he used to have a strong temper. But now, I’ve seen the old man so often and he only has one relative left. There won’t be any accidents with the Zhu family’s assets. That old man won’t be so stupid to give his assets to an outsider instead of his own relative. Are there such stupid people in this world?”

All he had left was his only nephew. It was unrealistic to leave his assets to a completely unrelated outsider instead of his own nephew. She knew that Wang Yang had only married her because she looked like a certain young lady.

Of course, Wang Yang had not married her because he liked that lady. If that had been the case, she would never have taken it lying down. The true reason why Wang Yang had married her did not make her very happy either. She had heard that that old foggy, Zhu Chengqi, thought that one of his neighbor’s daughters had grown up well and had wanted to acknowledge her as his goddaughter.

Wang Yang had been afraid that Zhu Chengqi would hand over all of his assets to that woman.

What a joke!

It was not as though that woman was truly the Zhu family’s goddaughter. Yes, that woman had not gotten into any kind of relationship with Zhu Chengqi in the end. Wang Yang’s wife thought it was unrealistic and impossible that Zhu Chengqi would go so far as to give all his assets to that woman.

“Nothing will go wrong if you’re careful.” Wang Yang yawned. He had worked for a full day and had run around for Zhu Chengqi’s sake. He wondered if he would be this tired if his parents were gone. But he would get to reap whatever he sowed. As long as the Zhu family’s assets were his, this much suffering was nothing at all. “It’s already so late. Stop rubbing so much cream on your face. Who are you showing it off too? I’m going to bed. Hurry and switch the light off.”

With that, Wang Yang switched off the bedside lamp on his side of the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and fell asleep immediately.

His wife’s face stiffened. What did he mean by whom she was putting on the cream for? Of course it was for her husband! Initially, she had wanted to make herself all beautiful and fragrant to have a hot and passionate night with her husband. But Wang Yang had fallen asleep the minute he hit the bed!

She could not possibly wake Wang Yang up to do what she wanted in the way she wanted.

Thinking about the difference between her and Wang Yang and about that mess back with her family, Wang Yang’s wife could only sigh. She remained silent and could only think about how she would grab on to her husband, Wang Yang.

When all of the Zhu family’s assets became her husband’s, not only would her husband rise in rank and position, but her status and position would rise as well. With this in mind, Wang Yang’s wife had no resentment left in her heart. She could only hope that Zhu Chengqi would ‘go quickly’.

Of course, Qiao Nan had no idea about this episode. After paying her respects to the Zhu family members, Qiao Nan was in a very heavy mood. Zhu Baoguo was gone, so who would Shi Qing marry in this lifetime? Since Zhu Baoguo was no longer around, that sensible and adorable kid that she knew of would naturally have no chance of being born.

It was just a small difference that had resulted in such a vast change in her world. Dream and reality were too different. This difference only made it clear to Qiao Nan once again that they were indeed two separate worlds.

After such an agitation, Qiao Nan no longer had the courage to find out about other matters, much less about how Shi Qing was living now, or whether she was even alive now.

After spending the night in Ping Cheng, Qiao Nan rushed back to Qingshui Town on the first bus out. It was only when Qiao Nan arrived in Qingshui Town did her rapidly pounding heart calm down a little.

It was on such a tranquil morning that an unexpected guest showed up at the Zhai family’s old villa. “Who are you?” Upon hearing the knocks on the door, Sister Zhao opened the door to see someone dressed in a fashionable and foreign style. Sister Zhao had never seen this woman before, and neither did she recognize her.

“You’re the caretaker of this family, right?” Qiu Chenxi took off her sunglasses. “You’d better open your eyes in the future. It’s best you recognize the person who pays you your salary. I’m the mistress of this family. I’m back. Hurry and go get me some water. I’m thirsty.” As she said that, Qiu Chenxi walked right into the house with her bag.

Sister Zhao widened her eyes and puffed up her chest, stopping Qiu Chenxi. “Look at you. You look rather wealthy, but you’re nothing but a liar! If you really want to deceive others, you should at least try to ask around and understand our family’s situation. Scammers nowadays are so bold. You even dare to scam our family? I’m not sure about anyone else, but I’m sure that our chief isn’t married. But even if he isn’t married, he already has someone in mind. Who are you to say that you pay my wages? That’s ridiculous!”

Qiu Chenxi had not gotten the chance to flare up at Sister Zhao for standing in her way before she got agitated by Sister Zhao’s words that her master had already found a marriage partner. “Did you say that Zhai Sheng already has a marriage partner? That’s impossible! He’ll never get married to anyone else but me!”

And that was why she had absolute confidence that she would be able to return to Zhai Sheng’s side and become the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law once again.

If Zhai Sheng were to get married to another woman, what was the point of her existence to the Zhai family? There would be no chance for her to get remarried to Zhai Sheng. “Who’s that woman? Did my parents-in-law recommend her to my husband?”

That had to be the case. Those two old people, especially Miao Jing, had not liked her from the start. They had finally been able to see the day Zhai Sheng divorced her. There was no way Miao Jing would give up this chance. She must have stuffed a countless number of girls to Zhai Sheng’s side. Miao Jing had done so for her own happiness and had not cared about Zhai Sheng’s happiness at all.

Miao Jing had insisted on doing so even though Miao Jing knew that Zhai Sheng would never marry anyone apart from her! That was atrocious! What angered her most was that Zhai Sheng had agreed to it. If Zhai Sheng had not given in, there would be a higher likelihood for the couple to reconcile. Would that not be a happy ending?

“Don’t spout nonsense. Our chief found that woman himself. Who are you?” This woman did not sound like a scammer.
