After this happened a lot of times, w.a.n.g Yang lost all patience. He found Zhu Baoguo displeasing to the eye. They were like magnets of the same pole, repelling each other fiercely.
It was difficult for w.a.n.g Yang to pretend in front of Zhu Baoguo. He didn’t even have the slightest sense of brotherhood toward Zhu Baoguo. After sensing this, Zhu Baoguo hated w.a.n.g Yang more.
In the eyes of others, Zhu Baoguo had been bullying the honest and cute w.a.n.g Yang. However, in Zhu Baoguo’s heart, w.a.n.g Yang was a child full of pretense. Once their relations.h.i.+p became bad, the plan Father w.a.n.g thought of previously naturally couldn’t succeed. w.a.n.g Yang always pretended to behave well in front of others. However, in front of Zhu Baoguo, he always couldn’t help but flash his claws.
Father w.a.n.g felt helpless that things progressed to this stage today. He didn’t understand. w.a.n.g Yang used to have a lot of playmates when he was young. Even if not all of them treated w.a.n.g Yang as a boss, they listened to his words well. Why was it that when it was Zhu Baoguo’s turn, he was so stubborn?
If not for the bad relations.h.i.+p between Zhu Baoguo and w.a.n.g Yang, which infuriated w.a.n.g Yang, w.a.n.g Yang wouldn’t have bribed hooligans to lead Zhu Baoguo astray and even hit him. Otherwise, Zhu Baoguo could have become a good pair of brothers with w.a.n.g Yang. Not only would Zhu Baoguo not die, but there also wouldn’t be so many unpleasant things in the w.a.n.g family.
As such, Zhu Chengqi wasn’t the only one with all the problems. Zhu Baoguo was the first exception as he had caused things not to develop according to the normal conditions.
Upon thinking about the men from the Zhu family, Father w.a.n.g felt a headache. He even found Mother Zhu, who came from the Zhu family, to be displeasing to the eye. “Alright, I’ve taken my medicine. There’s no major problem. Go and see your grandson. It’s about time to bring him back from the kindergarten.”
“Alright, I’ll go fetch our grandson.” Aside from her son, her grandson was naturally the second person that Mother Zhu valued. Even Father w.a.n.g had to be in the back row.
Mother Zhu left. As Father w.a.n.g looked at her back, he doubted for the first time if his decision to marry Mother Zhu back then was wrong. If Mother Zhu was smarter, she would have realized sooner that Zhu Baoguo’s death was related to her son and the thoughts of the w.a.n.g family.
Based on the fact that Mother Zhu was Zhu Chengqi’s only biological sister, if Mother Zhu had said a few more words to Zhu Chengqi or pestered him endlessly, that will might not have appeared at all. Father w.a.n.g was really at a loss now. He married the Zhu family’s daughter as his wife. Was this something good or bad for the w.a.n.g family?
“Dear, are you alright? Dad… What did he say?” One didn’t need to know that this call wouldn’t make anyone happy. Li Yayan could be considered to be scolded by Father w.a.n.g more. Father w.a.n.g wouldn’t be like uncivilized women and curse and shout in public. However, when he was really angry and found a person to be displeasing to the eye, it was nothing for him to hurl vulgarities. What was more deadly was that every word of his would be like a knife that cuts through one’s heart.
w.a.n.g Yang picked up the call and sighed loudly. “Dad seems to have been angered until he fell sick. Thankfully, Mom came after that and fed him medicine. At this time, Dad should be fine.” w.a.n.g Yang wasn’t surprised that Father w.a.n.g would be angered until he fell sick. The w.a.n.g family had placed all hopes on him, hoping that he would repay the w.a.n.g’s family for their protection back then after inheriting everything from the Zhu family.
Now, Old Master w.a.n.g had pa.s.sed away.
When Old Master w.a.n.g was still alive, w.a.n.g Yang remembered what he loved to chat with him about. Old Master w.a.n.g said that the reason why his uncles and brothers ‘progressed’ so little, especially his uncles’ careers, was because all of the w.a.n.g family’s money and resources were spent on him, helping him avoid the danger of being eliminated by the Zhu family because of Zhu Baoguo’s death.
When Zhu Baoguo died, w.a.n.g Yang was not yet an adult. Zhu Baoguo was a child from the Zhu family. No matter what, w.a.n.g Yang would have received some sort of punishment. From then on, it was also impossible for Zhu Chengqi to treat w.a.n.g Yang as a nephew and dote on him.
In order to protect w.a.n.g Yang, the w.a.n.g family had sacrificed others’ careers. As such, when w.a.n.g Yang grew up and received everything from Zhu Chengqi’s hands, he must not forget his uncles’ dedication and sacrifice and repay them well. If these people couldn’t enjoy these benefits anymore, it was fine. w.a.n.g Yang just had to take care of their younger generation more. It was all the same.
Actually, it wasn’t considered taking care of them. This should be w.a.n.g Yang’s repayment to the w.a.n.g family as he had owed them first.
w.a.n.g Yang always remembered what Old Master w.a.n.g had said. He also thought that there would be such a day and he had to make good on his words.
w.a.n.g Yang didn’t forget what had happened back then. He also wanted to repay the w.a.n.g family for taking care of him all these years. The problem was that after the lawsuit was over, what was he going to use to repay these relatives if he didn’t receive the Zhu family’s inheritance and resources? Based on what he owned now, it was pretty difficult to give them small favors, let alone big ones.
The w.a.n.g family placed all hopes on him. Once he lost, the w.a.n.g family would be left with nothing. As the person with the most prestige in the Lee family after Old Master Lee died, Father w.a.n.g couldn’t accept this hopeless lawsuit. w.a.n.g Yang felt the same as well.
w.a.n.g Yang understood very early that when his grandpa was still alive, he called the shots in the w.a.n.g family. After his grandpa was gone, his father replaced his grandpa, becoming the most powerful person in the w.a.n.g family. If his father was no longer around one day, he would become the patriarch of the w.a.n.g family.
Although he wasn’t in that position yet, w.a.n.g Yang didn’t feel that it was difficult to be in that position or how tiring it would be. Instead, w.a.n.g Yang felt that he should be the one to be in that position. He enjoyed being the center of attention of the w.a.n.g family. He was very satisfied with the w.a.n.g family looking at him as their leader.
The problem was that these were all based on the major premise that he had inherited everything in the Zhu family. Without this major premise, would the w.a.n.g family listen to his words? It was impossible.
To be the person who called the shots in the w.a.n.g family, it was either he had enough money on his hands or that he was in a high-enough position such that he could bring great benefits to the w.a.n.g family. If he received everything in the Zhu family, he didn’t need to choose between the two. He could completely satisfy both conditions at the same time.
On the contrary, if he couldn’t inherit everything in the Zhu family, he could have neither money nor authority.
