Chapter 2324: Getting Angry For Nothing (1)

It was because the Wang family had instilled such a belief in Wang Yang that he harbored such hatred toward Zhu Baoguo and always thought about getting rid of Zhu Baoguo so that he could inherit all of the Zhu family’s assets.

At that time, he had been so shocked that he had simply taken the blame for Zhu Baoguo’s death. In fact, if the Wang family had not constantly spoken ill about Zhu Baoguo in front of him, he would never have heated Zhu Baoguo. In fact, he might very well have taken his mom’s advice and become close brothers with Zhu Baoguo.

It was entirely the Wang family’s fault that he thought so negatively of Zhu Baoguo. He couldn’t wrap his head around this. Did that mean that his uncles and grandpa had already been thinking of using him all this while?

The Wang family had brought him astray, eventually culminating in Zhu Baoguo’s death. Because of his age, he would never have been punished severely even if he had been caught. On the contrary, the Wang family would definitely face the full force of the Zhu family’s revenge if the Zhu family determined that the Wang family had caused Zhu Baoguo’s death.

One was a stubborn and rebellious daughter who had insisted on going against her family’s advice, while the other was their family’s only grandson. Even a fool would know whose side the Zhu family would be on.

There was no way the Zhu family would go easy on the Wang family just because Mother Zhu was the Wang family’s daughter-in-law. Since the Wang family had dared to plant such ideas in Wang Yang’s mind, they should have been prepared to be attacked. There was no way the Wang family would be able to fight against the Zhu family. Although the Wang family’s situation had improved over the years, it was nothing much for the Zhu family if they wanted the Wang family to be gone from the political scene.

The Zhu family’s anger would mainly be directed at the Wang family. Even as the ‘main instigator’, he might not even be punished so severely. Instead of saying that Old Master Wang had spent most of the family’s savings on protecting Wang Yang by relocating those gangsters involved in Zhu Baoguo’s death, the truth was that Old Master Wang was simply trying to protect the entire Wang family, especially his sons and grandsons.

Old Master Wang had protected so many people, but it was always Wang Yang who became the subject and the only one Old Master Wang had saved whenever this matter was brought up. Wang Yang felt that his grandpa had done him a disservice.

The funny thing was that he had been so gullible as to believe all this nonsense in the past. Every time his father brought this matter up in their conversations, Wang Yang would be incredibly touched and feel as though he had to win the lawsuit against Qiao Nan. Then, he would return all of the Wang family’s money to them.

Twenty years ago, the Wang family had had some cash and resources and could have used them to pave the way for his uncles if they had not needed to help him. Thankfully, Wang Yang had come to his senses and realized that this was simply nonsense.

“Dad, we’re living in the twenty-first century. It’s been so long since the end of the Qing dynasty. Why are you still so old-fashioned and trying to butt in? When trees grow, they branch out. When Grandpa was still alive, you already split from your brothers to set up your own families. You’re already a grandpa. We should care only about our own family. Why are you trying to do so much? The Wang family? That’s a terribly heavy burden. If you’re not tired and think you’re capable, you can take it up. Anyway, I’m not going to bear that burden.”

If his dad had the ability to grow the Wang family’s wealth, he could swear to the heavens that he would never compete with his uncles or cousins for money. He would not even take a single cent.

But forget about asking him to be a slave to the Wang family or being a cash cow for them. He was not so generous. He had his own family and his own son to think about. Even if he could earn more, the money would undoubtedly go to his son, not anyone from the Wang family!

Father Wang had not even managed to persuade Wang Yang not to listen to his shortsighted mother and to unite together with his family before Wang Yang had gone on with his own philosophy. This angered Father Wang deeply.

In the past, Wang Yang had never dared to speak to his father in this manner. He had always agreed with whatever Father Wang had said. At that time, Father Wang had been rather proud of his son, especially when comparing him to the children of his siblings. His son was outstanding and filial. Compared to him, his siblings were living such miserable lives.

But this son, whom he had always been proud of, had changed. One could imagine Father Wang’s shock at that. “Wang Yang, who gave you the right to talk to me like that? Was it your mom? Or was it your dead uncle? Only the Zhu family has the right to be so demanding toward us! Even someone with half of the Zhu family’s blood doesn’t have the right to do so! Didn’t Zhu Chengqi’s will bring you to your senses? You’re a Wang. Don’t be mistaken! Do you really think you’re a Zhu?”

Father Wang hated the Zhu family the most but was most delighted about having married the Zhu family’s daughter and having a son who was a grandson of the Zhu family.

Whether it was in the past or now, there was no one else who dared to disrespect Father Wang apart from the Zhu family, whom he had had to bow down before even after being punched in the face. Even Wang Yang, who was a descendant of the Zhu family, had to listen to him. Wang Yang had never been rebellious like other children, and he had always been obedient to his father.

Before he could even get the chance to persuade Wang Yang, Wang Yang had made his stance clear and had distanced himself from the Wang family. In fact, Wang Yang’s attitude made it clear that he thought that the Wang family hadn’t done much for him and that there was nothing wrong with treating the Wang family in this manner. If Wang Yang had been standing in front of Father Wang, Father Wang would definitely not have spared his son from a beating.

If he went easy on Wang Yang, Wang Yang would never realize that he had to listen to his father at all times!

It was unfortunate that Wang Yang was miles away, and the father and son were speaking over the phone. Most ridiculously, Father Wang was not even using his own phone but his friend’s!
