Chapter 2315: Lousy Lawyer (1)
“I’ve already made myself clear on how tricky this lawsuit is. If you guys are so uncooperative, there’s no reason for me to try my best either.” If possible, the lawyer wished to give up the case.
Before the court session, he had already made his stance clear. If w.a.n.g Yang wanted to become the head of the Zhu family and get all of the Zhu family’s inheritance, what he needed to do was to get on Qiao Nan’s good side instead of fighting a lawsuit. Because of the will, w.a.n.g Yang would only be able to get as much as Qiao Nan was willing to give him once they were on good terms.
Of course, if w.a.n.g Yang was intelligent enough and suppressed Qiao Nan, that would be another matter. But if w.a.n.g Yang wanted the lawsuit to be ruled in his favor, his only solution was to reach a settlement with Qiao Nan in private.
Who would have known that w.a.n.g Yang would have performed so badly? Even after half a year, the defendant had no intention of settling the matter in private! Because w.a.n.g Yang hadn’t done well on his own, the lawyer had no other choice but to do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Because Qiao Nan had signed a contract, authorizing Zhai Sheng to act on her behalf, the person sitting in front of w.a.n.g Yang was not Qiao Nan but Zhai Sheng. Because of Li Yayan, w.a.n.g Yang even knew that Qiao Nan had gone to school this morning.
From the looks of it, Qiao Nan was not going to turn up in court. In fact, she was probably even sitting in the cla.s.sroom, attending a lecture. Thinking about how Qiao Nan was so carefree and indifferent while he was so worked up and nervous, w.a.n.g Yang felt rage well up within him. He had been guarding the Zhu family’s a.s.sets ever since he had gotten rid of Zhu Baoguo. Why did Qiao Nan get to reap the benefits of his hard work?
Was there still any justice in this world?
Qiao Nan had cla.s.ses in the morning, but not in the afternoon. After her lessons, she simply returned home to take care of her three children. “Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, Mom’s back! Did you guys behave well and listen to Grandma and Grandpa today?”
Ever since the three children gained a little strength in their limbs, they seemed to enjoy crawling around. In fact, they had even ‘evolved’ to using both their arms and legs together to propel themselves forward. After a while, the triplets had naturally learned how to crawl.
Although the three children had a limited time and distance to move around, that didn’t hinder their love for it. If the two elderly people had only been taking care of one child, they would have been able to keep their eye on the child, even if that child was crawling around. But the Zhai family had three babies, and Da Bao and Er Bao were boys who were much more energetic than San Bao.
Da Bao was typically not as lively as Er Bao, but his grandparents realized that he was actually quite strong when he set his mind to it. Often, Er Bao would crawl no more than a meter and start laughing upon seeing his starting position, as though he was proud and satisfied in himself. Of course, his grandparents had noticed that too.
But the moment his grandparents could get him under control, they would soon realize that Da Bao was missing!
Da Bao had taken advantage of the fact that his grandparents were busy with Er Bao to crawl some distance away, even finding a hidden spot so that his grandparents wouldn’t be able to find him. Ever since Da Bao developed such a skill, his grandparents felt as though taking care of the triplets had turned into a game of hide and seek.
What was different was that other adults deliberately pretended not to find their children to make them happy, whereas the elderly couple couldn’t even find the triplets even if they tried their best. Zhai Yaohui was depressed. The children were only half a year old. How could they be so smart to know that they had to split up so that their grandparents wouldn’t be able to find them?
This had been a strategy used by generals decades ago!
Of course, Zhai Yaohui was delighted that his grandchildren were this smart. It was just that Zhai Yaohui often felt sore in his back while he tried to catch his three grandchildren. At times, it hurt so badly that he couldn’t even stand up straight. If the triplets used this strategy against their enemy, he would definitely have cheered in joy. But it was simply too tiring that they were using it against their own family.
Knowing that her three children had already revealed their mischievous nature at such a young age, Qiao Nan naturally asked whether they had behaved themselves the moment she returned home. San Bao grinned, baring her four front teeth. Yes, San Bao had been the most obedient. She had spent the entire morning playing with her grandparents.
Picking up her chubby daughter, Qiao Nan planted a kiss on San Bao’s cheek. “Seeing how happy you are, you must have been cheeky and tired your grandparents out. San Bao, San Bao. As a lady, you should be gentler.” Now, her daughter was just as mischievous and energetic as her sons, exhausting her parents-in-law. What was she supposed to do?
San Bao kicked around in her mom’s embrace and chewed on her mom’s face, even getting upset when Qiao Nan tried to avoid it. It was only when she had covered Qiao Nan’s face with her drool did she laugh. She looked like a silly little girl as she laughed. Yes, San Bao was the most obedient.
What could Qiao Nan possibly do since she knew that the three children didn’t completely understand her? All she could do was punish her daughter by smacking her little round b.u.t.t.
Although he was tired, Zhai Yaohui was still doing well. “We’d better send Da Bao and Er Bao to the military early. We shouldn’t waste such talents.” Da Bao and Er Bao were born to be soldiers.
Ever since their birth, Zhai Yaohui had often been worried about how Qiao Nan had been advanced in age when giving birth to three babies at once and how that would affect the children’s growth. Thankfully, under their care, the three children grew well without lagging behind other children. Not only were they healthy but also smart. That was why Zhai Yaohui could rest easy as their grandpa.
As expected, the children of the Zhai family were outstanding.
Miao Jing smacked Zhai Yaohui on the elbow. “I’m warning you that you’d better not force Da Bao and Er Bao into the military unless they’re willing to go. If you dare to do that, I’ll fight it out with you! Nan Nan, don’t listen to your dad. Let’s see what the children want to do when they grow up.”
