Of course, w.a.n.g Yang didn’t know anything about this.
After moving for a while and feeling that his body wasn’t so stiff anymore, Zhu Chengqi let the nurse help him sit on the bed. “Help me with something. Deliver these things to Zhai Sheng. If you can’t find him, call him via this number.”

“Okay, Chief Zhu.” The nurse always remembered who he was working for. As to what the things Zhu Chengqi asked him to deliver to Zhai Sheng were, he wasn’t curious at all, let alone dare to look at them casually. After calling the number that Zhu Chengqi gave him, he met up with Zhai Sheng. “Chief Zhai, Chief Zhu wanted me to hand these over to you.”
“Thank you.” After receiving the doc.u.ments, Zhai Sheng asked the nurse, “How’s Chief Zhu’s situation now?”
After thinking for a while, he said, “To be honest, after knowing that your triplets were born and after Chief Zhu saw their photos, I always feel that… Chief Zhu seemed to have lost the energy to persevere on.”
After saying this, the nurse felt incredible. Based on Chief Zhu’s situation, indeed, if there wasn’t any belief supporting him to live, it was very easy for Chief Zhu to bid farewell to this world. Before this, he always couldn’t figure out what was the reason for Chief Zhu’s persistence. It was when he saw how Chief Zhu was looking at the Zhai family’s triplets that he understood that they were the reason for Chief Zhu’s persistence.
How should he put it? It was as if an elder in the family knew that they weren’t going to make it anymore. However, their family was about to welcome the next generation. No matter what, they had to persist for a few more days so that they could see their next generation. However, the Zhai family’s triplets weren’t Chief Zhu’s grandchildren. Why did Chief Zhu persist just to see the Zhai family’s triplets?
The nurse couldn’t remember how many times the doctor had said that he was in a critical condition. However, Chief Zhu miraculously pulled through time after time. Sometimes, the nurse couldn’t help but pity the bad guy, w.a.n.g Yang. He knew that w.a.n.g Yang was hoping for Chief Zhu to die earlier so that he could get everything from the Zhu family.
Undoubtedly, every time the doctor said that Chief Zhu was in a critical condition, w.a.n.g Yang would become happy as he thought that his wish would soon be fulfilled. However, Chief Zhu didn’t die. Every time the doctor said Chief Zhu couldn’t make it anymore, he would still pull through. This happened so many times that when the doctor informed w.a.n.g Yang again that Chief Zhu wasn’t in a good shape, w.a.n.g Yang wasn’t happy. He would even confirm again if Chief Zhu really couldn’t make it anymore.
Anyone would shed pitiful tears for w.a.n.g Yang as he had to be happy for nothing every time. The notification of being in a critical condition was like playing a prank on him. The nurse basically confirmed that unless it was ascertained that Chief Zhu had pa.s.sed away, he shouldn’t share this piece of news to w.a.n.g Yang so that he wouldn’t be happy for nothing again.
Upon thinking about this, the nurse couldn’t help but add, “Chief Zhai, I could tell that Chief Zhu especially likes your triplets. He is treating your triplets as his own grandchildren.” If Chief Zhu didn’t treat the Zhai family’s triplets as his own grandchildren, would he be trying so hard not to die?
However, now that these three children were born safely, the nurse felt that the persistence in Chief Zhu’s heart was slowly disappearing. It could no longer support Chief Zhu to live for a few more days. Since Chief Zhu liked the Zhai family’s triplets so much, Chief Zhu would definitely be happier if he could look at them personally or even hug them.
At least, Chief Zhu would feel more at ease when he left this world.
Zhai Sheng rejected the nurse’s request while carrying the doc.u.ments. “This should be what you want to say, right? It’s not something I agree to or not for Chief Zhu to see the triplets. It’s all up to Elder Zhu. Don’t mention this in front of Elder Zhu. He has plans for everything.”
Zhai Sheng knew clearly about Zhu Chengqi’s situation. Zhu Chengqi would definitely not be willing to let w.a.n.g Yang know too early how much he valued Qiao Nan and the triplets. Otherwise, they would have to guard against w.a.n.g Yang since it was unsure if he would find Qiao Nan trouble.
After Zhai Sheng got together with Qiao Nan, they already knew about Chen Jun and the Chen family’s situation. If not for the w.a.n.g family’s help, the Chen family would not have been able to climb up to the position of police commissioner of Ping Cheng Police Station so quickly. This wasn’t a small matter. Since no one investigated them, it was very clear that the w.a.n.g family had put in a lot of effort in this matter.
Zhu Chengqi knew that his liking for Qiao Nan had already caused her a lot of harm and for her to encounter a sc.u.m like Chen Jun. As such, even after Zhu Chengqi knew what kind of person w.a.n.g Yang was, he didn’t get close to Qiao Nan again. He treated her like she was a stranger.
It wasn’t the first time that w.a.n.g Yang did such a thing. If there was a first time, there would naturally be a second time. Zhu Chengqi had already lost his biological son, Zhu Baoguo. He wouldn’t let w.a.n.g Yang hurt the innocent Qiao Nan just so that he could get everything from the Zhu family.
Zhai Sheng knew about all these, but not the nurse. “Alright, I’ll head back first. If w.a.n.g Yang knows that I sneaked out and didn’t stay by Old Chief Zhu’s side, he would have things to say.”
“Okay, it has been tough on you.” Zhai Sheng knew that w.a.n.g Yang was keeping a close watch on Zhu Chengqi and wasn’t willing to relax. Zhai Sheng also knew w.a.n.g Yang’s motive for doing so. Wasn’t he afraid that Zhu Chengqi would make a will that didn’t benefit him? Once Zhu Chengqi died, and under the condition that Zhu Chengqi didn’t leave behind any will, w.a.n.g Yang’s mother, who was also Zhu Chengqi’s biological sister, would become the legal heir to everything of the Zhu family.
If everything from the Zhu family landed in w.a.n.g Yang’s mother’s hands, it was the same as them landing in w.a.n.g Yang’s hands. There was no difference.
Thankfully, when the nurse rushed back, w.a.n.g Yang hadn’t visited Zhu Chengqi yet. As such, w.a.n.g Yang didn’t know what the nurse had done. A person who similarly wasn’t in the know was Qiao Nan, who had just finished giving birth. She was surrounded by her three children daily now. Of course, she couldn’t care about so many people like she did before she gave birth.
“Nan Nan, did the children cry?” Qiao Nan had placed all her attention on the children, and so did Miao Jing. The children were young and naturally spent more time with Qiao Nan. Furthermore, Miao Jing was old and had less energy compared to Qiao Nan. As such, Qiao Nan was still the one who was mostly taking care of the children.
Qiao Nan had just finished feeding Da Bao. After she successfully patted Da Bao until he hiccupped, Da Bao fell asleep without any coaxing. “They didn’t.. They slept immediately after eating.”
