Chapter 2334: Retribution Is Here (2)
Otherwise, how could Zhu Chengqi have written a will that no one else could understand? Those who were nice sympathized with Wang Yang, while others simply ridiculed Wang Yang.
“You may not know it, but Zhu… Uncle didn’t have any other relatives left by his side. He was ill and needed someone by his side taking care of him at all times. My parents-in-law have only one son, Wang Yang, but Wang Yang chose to leave the Wang family to take care of his uncle. Thankfully, my parents-in-law have always been in good health, so we didn’t need to worry too much about them. Wang Yang may be a good nephew, but he sure isn’t a good son. He has never been so good to his own parents or my parents!”
Li Yayan grew more agitated as she spoke, and she couldn’t help but slam the table, drawing some attention from others. Feeling the stares, Li Yayan reined in her temper and lowered her voice. “Wang Yang sacrificed so much for his uncle. It doesn’t matter what his motives are. Is there anything wrong in expecting his uncle to hand everything over to him? Of course, my husband has done nothing wrong, and neither have you. The only one to be blamed is his uncle who made that will. My husband took care of him like a son since he had no sons. How could he be so heartless toward my husband?”
“Yes, how can people be so shameless?!” Qiao Nan had to resist the urge to splash the cup of water in her hands toward Li Yayan’s face. She was indeed Wang Yang’s wife. They were equally shameless!
She had seen tons of shameless people, especially Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. She had always thought that those two women were the best of the best, but Li Yayan had suddenly turned up and refreshed Qiao Nan’s knowledge and limit.
Li Yayan was at a loss, having been suddenly scolded by Qiao Nan. “You… What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m shameless?” Li Yayan felt that Qiao Nan probably didn’t mean to say that. After all, she hadn’t done anything too shameless. But from Qiao Nan’s tone and expression, Li Yayan felt that her suspicions were right. Qiao Nan was indeed scolding her and Wang Yang.
At that moment, Li Yayan could no longer hold it in. “You took advantage of others but you dare to scold others like this! Qiao Nan, don’t you think you’re going overboard?” She had better not think that she was above everyone just because she was the chief’s wife. “Qiao Nan, aside from the law, there are still morals in this world. If we get anyone to judge this matter, no one will ever think well of you. Besides, I’ve already made myself clear. If we continue with the lawsuit, it’s true that we won’t win. I’m not making an unreasonable request. I’m just hoping that you’ll do what’s right. Perhaps, Wang Yang might even have the chance to work with your husband in the future…”
Qiao Nan was being overbearing and aggressive now. What if Wang Yang got the chance to work with Zhai Sheng in the future? What would Qiao Nan do then?
Qiao Nan slapped her forehead. “You’re so full of yourself. Do you really think everyone else is a fool? I know very well who took care of Chief Zhu in his last years. But was it really because Wang Yang thought of Chief Zhu as his uncle, who was even closer to him than his own parents, that he stayed by Chief Zhu’s side to take care of him? He only did so because of the promise of a great reward at the end of everything. I’m sure you know that better than I do.”
Li Yayan’s expression soured. “So what if it’s true? Even if we didn’t have pure intentions in taking care of Uncle, at least we did what we had to do before he passed away. Let’s reason it out. My husband and I took care of Uncle for such a long time. We had to fork out money for his hospital bills, medical bills, meals, and everything else. Even if all of the Zhu family’s assets go to my husband, it’s what he rightfully deserves since we’ve sacrificed so much. On the other hand, you are being unreasonable.”
It didn’t matter what their true intentions were. Only when one sowed would one reap. Both she and Wang Yang had worked hard by taking good care of that old man in the few years before his death. Therefore, it was only right for Wang Yang to inherit all of Zhu Chengqi’s assets after his death. Why should Qiao Nan be involved at all?
“Wang Yang took care of Uncle for a few years. Besides, he’s a descendant of the Zhu family too. What’s wrong with him inheriting the Zhu family’s assets? But you have nothing to do with the Zhu family at all, and neither did you ever show up while Uncle was ill. Did you even take care of him for a single day? Do you really think it’s fair for you to inherit his money while doing nothing at all? Do you think it’s moral?”
After putting in so much effort, how much Wang Yang got would depend entirely on Qiao Nan’s mood. What was different was that Qiao Nan had never put in any effort in taking care of Zhu Chengqi and yet, she could comfortably receive her inheritance.
There was truly no justice in the world.
“After saying all that, you’re just after the Zhu family’s money, right? Alright, maybe I wasn’t clear enough before. Or perhaps, I didn’t have the opportunity to make myself clear to you. Since you’re here, I won’t spare my words. I think it’s a waste to be polite to you people from the Wang family. Anyone from the Wang family, including Wang Yang, had better not even dream of touching anything of the Zhu’s, be it money or resources. Even if you just want money now, I’m sorry. I’m not giving you anything.”
Qiao Nan was brutally blunt with her words. “Once all of the Zhu family’s assets are in my hands, not only will I not give anything to Wang Yang, but I’d even donate all of the Zhu family’s money rather than give it to that ingrate, Wang Yang. The Wang family has worked in vain all these years.”
Zhu Baoguo’s death very much had to do with Wang Yang. It was not because of his own good luck that he had gotten away with it but because the entire Wang family had helped him clean up his mess. This was what Zhai Sheng had discovered.
After finding out about all these, Qiao Nan had no good feelings for anyone from the Wang family. It was already good enough that she didn’t take the initiative to provoke them. The problem was that the Wang family was still hoping to get something out of her. How ridiculous!
