Chapter 2200: Unable to Take Responsibility

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Dear, what do you think we can do at this point in time?” Wang Yang’s wife sighed. It was good as long as he didn’t blame everything on her. She was afraid that she would have to bear that burden. If that were the case, she wouldn’t need to visit her in-laws in the future. She would definitely become an unforgivable criminal in the Wang family’s eyes.

Wang Yang stroked his face. “Didn’t you say that you kept a close eye on that stupid old man? Why does this will exist?”

Yes, it wasn’t just Wang Yang’s wife. Even Wang Yang himself knew that this will was real and that Zhu Chengqi had definitely drafted it behind their backs. There was no question about that. It was exactly because he knew that this will was real that Wang Yang was even angrier.

He was angry that Zhu Chengqi couldn’t differentiate between his family and an outsider and had given all of the Zhu family’s assets to an outsider like Qiao Nan instead of his own nephew. What he was angrier about was that he had already made his precautions because he knew that Zhu Chengqi couldn’t be trusted. He had already made such a great effort, so when had things gone wrong and how had Zhu Chengqi managed to draft this will right under their noses?

Wang Yang’s wife immediately raised three fingers and swore. “Dear, you should know that I have never said one thing while doing another. I know how important this matter is. I want it to go well for you too. Only then will I benefit from it. Initially, I was even thinking of getting a sum of money from you to buy a house for my brother after you got the inheritance from that old man. Then, my brother would be the one taking care of my parents in the future. So, there’s no way I would go against you or even lie to you. I’m sure you heard my friend’s call the other time. I haven’t been out shopping with them in over a year! How could I have ever made such a mistake? It’s true. I’ve always listened to you and stayed by that old man’s side all the time. I didn’t even dare to go anywhere or let anyone visit the old man.”

Seeing how nervous his wife was, Wang Yang’s slight suspicion disappeared. Wang Yang was clear about whether Zhu Chengqi had left the house, or who had visited Zhu Chengqi at home. As such, he was crystal clear about how Zhu Chengqi spent his days even though he did not stay by Zhu Chengqi’s side all the time.

Wang Yang was rather confident about that.

Wang Yang scratched his head. “Since we were already so thorough, when did he ever draft this will?” Could it be that the old man was immortal? “No matter what, I won’t acknowledge the legal standing of this will. I’ve already applied to the court to freeze all of the Zhu family’s assets. That Qiao woman had better not even dream of getting a single cent from our family. I’ll fight it out with her in court. No one will ever snatch away what belongs to me.”

“That’s right, dear. We’ll do that.” Wang Yang’s wife nodded in agreement. Wang Yang disagreed with the fact that the money had nothing to do with them and of course, his wife could not bear to part with that money either. In short, if even she couldn’t get that money, anyone who had nothing to do with the Zhu family had better not think of having a single cent of it. “Dear, do you think that it’s possible that the old man wasn’t in a clear state of mind when making this will?”

It wasn’t that he was truly not in a clear state of mind. However, they could, perhaps, ask the lawyer to use this as an excuse. “You know, I’ve seen the news lately and there have been quite a few elderly people like the old man who are quite brainless and have been cheated of their money. Maybe that’s what’s going on in our family too. Look, that woman must have used some underhanded methods since she managed to get Zhai Sheng to marry her. It wouldn’t be strange for her to confuse and coax someone with that mouth of hers. We have reason to suspect that that old man was cheated!”

In reality, the old man had indeed met with Qiao Nan a few times. Only they knew about the fact that the two of them had only spent a little time with each other and had not spoken much with each other. Outsiders knew nothing about that, much less the judge. So, why would they not be able to use that as an excuse in their lawsuit?

Wang Yang picked up a cigarette and took a puff, finishing half of the cigarette in one breath. “We can give it a shot. Anyway, I’ll never give up just like that. The Zhu family is wealthy, but I’ve made quite a lot of money for that old man from investments too. That money should be mine. Why should someone else get it? That old man had better not count on it, and much less Qiao Nan.”

For the sake of getting the Zhu family’s assets, he had put in tons of effort. No one else knew about that. It could be said that his whole life’s efforts had been spent on the Zhu family’s assets. He had even… gotten implicated in Zhu Baoguo’s death for the sake of the Zhu family’s assets.

At that time, he was still young and a little timid. After Zhu Baoguo’s death, he had lost several nights of sleep. Afterward, it was only because his grandpa had observed something amiss and had brought him to the temple to get a talisman that he had eventually been able to get through that period.

He had already gone to such an extent. How could he allow Qiao Nan to take advantage of everything he had done?

“We’ll fight it out, and we’ll fight hard. I’ll never give up until I get my hands on what I want. Haven’t there been a lot of rumors regarding Qiao Nan lately? Does she really think it’s that easy to acknowledge someone as her godfather? She’d better know that it isn’t that easy! If Qiao Nan is self-aware and voluntarily gives up the inheritance and returns what belongs to me, there’ll be peace between us and we’ll never cross paths in the future. But if she refuses to cooperate, my name won’t be Wang Yang if I let her off!”

He had already won against the apple of the Zhu family’s eye, Zhu Baoguo. Would he lose to a Qiao now? What a joke!

If he had already known that Qiao Nan’s existence would create such trouble for him, he would never have made Chen Jun seduce Qiao Nan. He should have been more decisive about the matter. Since Zhu Baoguo had already died, one more life wouldn’t mean much to him. Perhaps, he should have created an accident for Qiao Nan’s death too.

Only a dead person wouldn’t be able to create such trouble for him. It was only because he had been kindhearted and had given Qiao Nan a chance at that time.

“Dear, your parents called to ask about the situation today. Are you going back alone?” Wang Yang’s wife was especially afraid to answer phone calls from her in-laws now.. This matter was truly too serious, and she couldn’t afford to take responsibility for losing the Zhu family’s assets, much less take the blame alone.
