Chapter 2202: Pretending to Be Smart

“Dad, stop it. Things are already like this. Nothing will change no matter how angry you are or how you throw tantrums. We definitely can’t let this matter go. I’ve already thought about it. I’ll continue this lawsuit with Qiao Nan. Also, Qiao Nan married well. She married into the Zhai family. I feel that the Zhai family probably wouldn’t care much about the Zhu family’s inheritance. For the sake of their reputation, the Zhai family might even ask Qiao Nan to voluntarily give up the Zhu family’s inheritance. By then, what should belong to us wouldn’t run away.”

His attitude was different from his biological father’s. Although his wife indeed didn’t help much, compared to Qiao Nan, he preferred the woman he was married to now. He didn’t know why, but every time he saw Qiao Nan, he would feel uncomfortable all over. It was as if their signs had clashed.

If Wang Yang married such a woman for the Zhu family’s money, he expressed that after getting the Zhu family’s money, he might not have the life to spend it. He might have already suffocated to death by being with Qiao Nan often.

So what if she wasn’t of help? He already knew this when he married his wife. This was his own decision. Wang Yang felt that he had nothing to regret, and he didn’t have the intention to push the blame to his wife.

Wang Yang’s wife was pretty touched upon hearing that Wang Yang didn’t let her refute her in-laws but was protecting her in front of the father-in-law who despised her. She always thought that aside from her looks, there was nothing Wang Yang was satisfied with. It turned out that Wang Yang still treated her pretty well.

“Heh…” Wang Yang’s father laughed coldly. “Unless the Zhai family didn’t know how much money Zhu Chengqi left behind, who would complain that they had too much money? This money didn’t come by indecent means. Forget it. Go and do whatever you have in mind. I only look at the end result. Wang Yang, I’ve put in so much effort to pave your road. Your mom doesn’t know about it, but you should. Don’t disappoint me when the time comes. Your grandpa and I have placed the future of the Wang family on you.”

Wang Yang’s father was surprised as well. Wang Yang had such a mindset since young and started to lay a hand on Zhu Chengqi. Of course, Wang Yang’s father knew about this after Elder Wang told him. It was also because of this matter and that Wang Yang had a mother who was surnamed Zhu that Elder Wang decided to place all hopes of the Wang family on Wang Yang. He doted on Wang Yang the most and even personally took him around to guide him.

Wang Yang felt that the burden he was shouldering had increased. “Dad, don’t worry. Although Grandpa is no longer around, I promised him that I would never disappoint him before he left. As such, I won’t disappoint you as well. I’ve worked hard for so long. How can I give the fruits of my labor to others? Dad, wait and see. Everything will belong to the Wang family in the end!”

Wang Yang didn’t come up with any good solutions. It was just that since he was a child, his obsession was to have everything from the Zhu family. Now that this was snatched away by Qiao Nan the outsider, Wang Yang would definitely not agree to this. As such, Wang Yang naturally dared to speak such big words in front of his father.

“Okay. Your son is pretty good here. Your mom has been taking care of him, so you don’t have to worry about the child. If you really remember that you still have a son and that you’re a father, work harder so that your son doesn’t need to lead a tough life in the future. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up the call.” Most importantly, Wang Yang’s father knew that the daughter-in-law he disliked was definitely standing next to Wang Yang now. When he thought about the existence of this woman, Wang Yang’s father felt uncomfortable all over.

If they lost everything in the Zhu family because of a woman, no matter who it was, he wouldn’t let them off.

Seeing that the call ended, Wang Yang’s wife hurriedly stepped forward. “Thank you, husband. You must believe me. I’ve always listened to your words and stayed by that old man’s side. I really don’t know how that will came about.”

Toward the end, Wang Yang’s wife cried. She knew that she didn’t have good conditions and that her father-in-law looked down on her. She also hoped that her performance would be better so that she could prove to her in-laws that Wang Yang didn’t make the wrong decision to marry her. She obviously wanted to fight for herself. Who knew that such a mistake would be made when she was nearing success?

Until now, she couldn’t understand when Zhu Chengqi had called someone to make this will, causing her to lose face in front of her in-laws.

“Alright, I believe you. We only spent two years by this damned old man’s side. Before that, we only visited him from time to time. I’m guessing that we were fooled by that damned old man. If he had made this will years ago, it would be useless even if you kept a close watch on him.”

Wang Yang thought of a possibility, which was the time this will was made. If Zhu Chengqi had made a will to leave everything in the Zhu family to Qiao Nan before he married this wife, then it would be useless even if the both of them had kept a close watch on him.

Upon thinking of this possibility, Wang Yang felt extremely uncomfortable. He thought that ever since Qiao Nan fell in love with Chen Jun, gave up her studies, and no longer grasped her own career like before, Zhu Chengqi had already become extremely disappointed in Qiao Nan.

Don’t tell him that Zhu Chengqi, that damned old man, had already started to fool him since then. On the surface, Zhu Chengqi was very disappointed in Qiao Nan and stopped saying that he would accept Qiao Nan as his goddaughter. However, Zhu Chengqi made such an infuriating will behind everyone’s back in private.

As such, Zhu Chengqi’s indifferent attitude toward Qiao Nan earlier was to protect him and Qiao Nan and fool him? Not only did Zhu Chengqi have this idea long ago, but he was also guarding against him? Since when did Zhu Chengqi start to suspect him and guard against him?

What was laughable was that Wang Yang always thought that he had caused Zhu Baoguo his death but he could get everything that belonged to Zhu Baoguo in the end. As the father, Zhu Chengqi didn’t know anything about this at all. Wang Yang was still feeling happy and mocking Zhu Chengqi at first. Following the appearance of the will and suspicions, Wang Yang felt that Zhu Chengqi had given him a tight slap to mock his cleverness and self-righteousness.

Wang Yang was very unwilling to admit that his suspicions might be the truth and that he had no way to change this. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Qiao Nan was about to inherit a large amount of wealth. This wasn’t a small matter. Not too long later, this matter became widespread. More people knew about this, including Qiao Zijin.
