Chapter 2343: You’re Impressive (2)


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In the past, her mother-in-law had always felt that it was only right for the Zhu family’s money to go to w.a.n.g Yang since he was the last descendant of the Zhu family. No matter what underhanded methods w.a.n.g Yang used to take back the money, it was alright for him to do so. After all, that was what w.a.n.g Yang rightfully deserved.


But now…


It went without saying that Mother Zhu no longer felt this way. Her mother-in-law now felt that she was a sinner who had sinned against the Zhu family, and her son, w.a.n.g Yang, had wronged the Zhu family. With such a huge premise, her mother-in-law would probably be devastated if her son insisted on taking the Zhu family’s money. Her mother-in-law was sure that w.a.n.g Yang was no longer worthy of inheriting the Zhu family’s a.s.sets. In fact, there was no way w.a.n.g Yang should ever have control over the Zhu family’s a.s.sets.


After this change, Mother Zhu stood her ground. In the past, she had always felt that the Zhu family’s a.s.sets belonged to w.a.n.g Yang alone. Qiao Nan was being shameless to claim it for herself. Now, Mother Zhu felt that anyone could have the Zhu family’s a.s.sets, except w.a.n.g Yang.


Qiao Nan’s words had had a great impact on Mother Zhu.


Qiao Nan had already made herself clear that she would much rather burn all of the Zhu family’s money than let w.a.n.g Yang have it. That was just about what Mother Zhu felt at this point in time too. Anyone could receive the Zhu family’s inheritance but w.a.n.g Yang, who was responsible for this whole mess.


At the thought of that, Li Yayan sighed.


Zhu Chengqi had finally died after such a long time, and she had thought that her glorious days had finally come. Then, her friends would have to look up to her. Who would have known that the Zhu family’s a.s.sets would have nothing to do with the w.a.n.g family? Even her mother-in-law refused to stand on her husband’s side. There was no longer any point in continuing with this lawsuit.


w.a.n.g Yang had said that Qiao Nan had favor from everyone, and that couldn’t be more true.


Even the heavens were on her side. Was there still a need to continue fighting this lawsuit? Of course not!


Because of Li Yayan’s question, w.a.n.g Yang was stunned. He realized that it was indeed difficult for him to give up on his ambition toward the Zhu family’s inheritance. The problem was that w.a.n.g Yang didn’t want to become an orphan even though he was already a father himself. His mom was more important than money.


What else could w.a.n.g Yang possibly do after getting such an answer? Of course, he naturally sought Qiao Nan out to get an answer to his question before withdrawing the lawsuit. Then, he and Qiao Nan would be nothing more than strangers.


Qiao Nan poured herself a cup of tea and looked at w.a.n.g Yang ridiculously. “What do you mean? Your question is so vague. How do you expect me to have an answer?” Qiao Nan had not understood w.a.n.g Yang at all, but she was more than willing for w.a.n.g Yang to explain himself.


Knowing how vicious Qiao Nan was, w.a.n.g Yang’s face paled. He had been such a person before. “How did you know that I was involved in Zhu Baoguo’s death?” Could it be that Qiao Nan had seen or heard something all those years ago? “Since you already knew about it, you must have known that Zhu Chengqi would definitely suspect me and investigate the matter as long as you mentioned something to him. It would have been much easier to convict me then.”


He had always seen Zhu Chengqi being indifferent to Zhu Baoguo, hardly having any interaction with him at all. It was because of this att.i.tude that w.a.n.g Yang had always thought that Zhu Chengqi had preferred his nephew over his own son.


Since that was the case, Zhu Chengqi would probably not be too sad over Zhu Baoguo’s death. After all, he was still around. He was much better than Zhu Baoguo in every way. Without Zhu Baoguo, Zhu Chengqi would have one less person to worry about. Then, his burden would be lighter as well.


The difference was that he could bring Zhu Chengqi honor and let everyone know that Zhu Chengqi had a brilliant and outstanding nephew. As for Zhu Baoguo? He had nothing. All he would bring to Zhu Chengqi was shame.


It was better for Zhu Baoguo to be gone since he would do nothing but stand in the way and ruin the Zhu family’s reputation.


It was only after Zhu Baoguo had left that w.a.n.g Yang had discovered that the reality wasn’t so. A biological son was a son, after all. No one could replace Zhu Baoguo’s place in Zhu Chengqi’s heart. After learning about Zhu Baoguo’s death, Zhu Chengqi turned into an enraged beast who scared the young w.a.n.g Yang so much that he had teared uncontrollably.


Thankfully, it wasn’t just w.a.n.g Yang who had cried at that time. Even Old Master Zhu had cried upon seeing Zhu Baoguo’s body. No one had been able to hold their emotions in. Everyone had simply thought that w.a.n.g Yang had been frightened stiff because he had heard about how his cousin had been beaten to death.


As such, no one had suspected that w.a.n.g Yang had actually been scared by Zhu Chengqi at that time. No one had suspected a thing, but w.a.n.g Yang had never forgotten how he had felt in that moment.


It was only when he had become a father himself did he realize how stupid he had been as a child. Zhu Chengqi had only treated him politely and was willing to smile at him exactly because he treated him as an outsider. It was because Zhu Baoguo was Zhu Chengqi’s only son that Zhu Chengqi was upset when Zhu Baoguo had a temper since Zhu Chengqi hoped for his son to make a name for himself. The deeper the love, the greater the anger.


Unfortunately, w.a.n.g Yang had realized that all too late.


Qiao Nan sipped on her tea, feeling as though her heart was even bitterer than the tea in her mouth. “What do you think the truth is?” Had she witnessed it? If she had the choice, she would much rather have seen it for herself.


If she had seen it, she would have called for help and saved Zhu Baoguo as she had done in her dream. The Zhu family did indeed have huge riches that tempted someone like w.a.n.g Yang, but she had no desire for them at all. There was no way she would have exchanged Zhu Baoguo’s life for those. If she loved money so much, Ding Jiayi would never have gotten the chance to take so much out of her pockets to fund Qiao Zijin. She had always felt that relations.h.i.+ps were more important than money.


In her eyes, Zhu Baoguo was a younger brother and also half a son. If she could exchange money for Zhu Baoguo’s life, she wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to do so. Zhu Baoguo’s existence wouldn’t bring back just one family’s happiness but two families’!


w.a.n.g Yang laughed bitterly.. If he had already known the answer to that, he wouldn’t even have bothered looking for Qiao Nan today
