Chapter 2351: Settling Scores (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Father Wang was Wang Yang’s father, and Wang Yang’s stand naturally represented Father Wang’s. In the future, Father Wang should simply live his life with his son. Poor relatives like them would neither try to take advantage of Wang Yang nor climb up over his head. They would simply sever all ties.

Hearing his brother say that, Father Wang’s stroke nearly worsened. Growing up, his brothers had always listened to whatever he said.

Father Wang was used to being the ruler of the Wang family. Now that no one was taking him seriously, and everyone even severed ties with him, Father Wang was anxious and furious and did not know what to do. Should he scold his brothers for being disrespectful and saying such infuriating words, or should he make a call to reprimand Wang Yang?

If not for his disobedient son who had made trouble for him, the Wang family would never have rebelled against him, nor would his younger brother have usurped the position of the head of the Wang family from him.

His younger brother was disobedient while his son was unfilial. The thought of it made Father Wang roll his eyes in fury. He had worked hard his whole life for the sake of the Wang family and his relatives. Although they had performed well in the past, they were all rebelling against him now. What a mess!

If he had not been in charge of the Wang family all these years, would the Wang family have gotten to where they were today? These ingrates! Did they really think that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could be the head of the Wang family?

Before Father Wang could go on his rant and scold them, the Wang family simply took their leave.

The money and resources Old Master Wang had spent on Wang Yang couldn’t be gotten back. Even the house that Father Wang was living in now was Old Master Wang’s. When Old Master Wang had passed away, he had split his assets among his sons but had left this house to his eldest son, Father Wang. No matter what, Father Wang was his eldest son, and Wang Yang was his eldest grandson. As such, it was only natural for the house to go to Father Wang, who would then pass it on to Wang Yang.

In the past, the Wang family had been entirely focused on the Zhu family’s assets. As such, no one really cared about the house left behind by Old Master Wang. Now, no matter how unjust they felt it was for Father Wang to receive the house, there was no use in arguing over it since the will had been effected such a long time ago.

After making themselves clear to Father Wang, the Wang family left the house, swearing never to return. Because of everything, they despised Wang Yang, and Wang Yang didn’t acknowledge them as his uncles or aunties either. Not meeting would save everyone some face, at the very least.

In the future, they would live their separate lives and not interfere in each other’s.

In reality, these words were targeted at Father Wang. The Wang family’s brothers still discussed with each other before doing anything. It was only Father Wang who had no place in their discussions.

Evidently, the Wang family had come to a consensus about kicking Father Wang and Wang Yang out of the Wang family.

After learning of this result, Father Wang’s anger could no longer be controlled and he fainted. Thankfully, the doctor arrived in time and Father Wang’s condition did not deteriorate. But the doctor reminded Father Wang that he would soon go into a vegetative state if he continued flaring up in this manner.

Hearing the doctor’s words, Father Wang felt like his life had been a failure. His brothers refused to acknowledge him, his son was living in the capital and did not care about his father, and even his wife was not by his side to take care of him. As for his grandson, Mother Zhu had brought him to the capital to reunite him with his parents.

The lively and bustling Wang family had suddenly become cold and desolate. In the past, they were countless people who surrounded him. But in the blink of an eye, the only one left apart from him in the Wang family was the nanny who had been hired to take care of him.

In the face of such loneliness, Father Wang was full of resentment and he couldn’t help but call Wang Yang. “Wang Yang, I raised a good son indeed. You didn’t care about anything I said or acknowledge me as your father. Look, your uncles are now mad at me and they’re following in your footsteps by disowning me. In the future, we won’t even be relatives and I’ll be a lonely old man. Perhaps, no one will know if I pass away one day. Are you happy now? I must have accumulated eight lifetimes’ worth of bad luck to have gotten a son like you! If I had known that you would become so rebellious, I would have put my effort into cultivating your brother instead of wasting all of the Wang family’s resources and money on you!”

It was uncomfortable listening to his father calling him a heartless fool.

Wang Yang took a deep breath. “Alright, stop bringing up the money that the Wang family spent on me all these years. If you really feel that I owe you or the Wang family, let’s settle the accounts. How much did grandpa spend on me that year? I’ll let Mom tabulate how much she has spent on the Wang family all these years. If there’s anything short, I’ll make it up to you. Anyway, my mom’s no fool. She kept her accounts well.”

“…” Father Wang had thought that this had been a good reason to punish Wang Yang severely, so much so that he would beg for forgiveness. Who would have expected Wang Yang to retaliate with such a strategy? Especially after hearing that Mother Zhu had written down every single sum that she had handed over to the Wang family, Father Wang didn’t know whether he should be angry or guilty.

“Don’t you know something called inflation? It might be the same hundred yuan, but in the past, it could cover our entire family’s expenses for the whole month. Now, a hundred yuan can probably only last two days. How then can we calculate it in this manner?”

Wang Yang laughed. “You have an account book in your heart too. You’re just bullying me because I’m ignorant. I can’t deny that you’re right. But if I’m not wrong, Mom has been constantly giving the Wang family money, right? I might not have known in the past, but now, I do. After the Wang family spent their money on me, their expenses have fallen on my mom. The Wang family has never stopped asking for money. I’m sure they ask for money more than once a year, right? Does Mom’s money that she gave them in the past not have inflation?”

“Besides, I’m sure my mom has forked out much more than whatever my grandpa did at that time.. I’ll just treat everything extra as interest.”
