Chapter 2320: My Son (3)
His mom had cried every day. Her eyes became swollen and she even temporarily lost sight. Without a doubt, his mom was really upset that Zhu Baoguo was gone.
Ever since the appearance of that will, w.a.n.g Yang had heard his mom mention more than once that it would be good if Zhu Baoguo was still alive. Zhu Baoguo was his cousin. No matter how bad their relations.h.i.+p was, on account of his mom, Zhu Baoguo would definitely help him if he ran into any trouble. The Zhu family’s conditions were good. If he ran into some difficulties, the Zhu family wouldn’t look on and do nothing.
If Zhu Baoguo was still alive, how would there be anything related to Qiao Nan, an outsider? Different from Zhu Baoguo, Qiao Nan had nothing to do with the Zhu family or w.a.n.g Yang at all. Even if Qiao Nan got all the inheritance from the Zhu family, would Qiao Nan give w.a.n.g Yang face and help him if he were to run into trouble?
It was impossible.
As such, if Zhu Baoguo was still alive, none of this would have happened. w.a.n.g Yang could still have another cousin to take care of him and help him.
When w.a.n.g Yang was young, he wished that Zhu Baoguo never appeared. After facing a life that was getting worse, w.a.n.g Yang couldn’t help but have the same thoughts as his mom. How good would it be if Zhu Baoguo was still alive? If Zhu Baoguo was still alive, Zhu Chengqi wouldn’t have died so early.
Zhu Chengqi was pretty ruthless to him by leaving such a will. However, when Zhu Chengqi was alive, he treated him quite well. Aside from not giving him the right to casually use the Zhu family’s inheritance and resources, Zhu Chengqi’s care for him in other aspects was no different from that for his own child.
There was a comparison before and after Zhu Chengqi’s death. As such, w.a.n.g Yang was particularly clear that Zhu Chengqi’s help to him was actually greater if he was still alive.
If he had known that his life would be in a mess after Zhu Chengqi’s death, he definitely would have prayed for Zhu Chengqi to live for a few more years.
A few years ago, w.a.n.g Yang was still counting down to Zhu Chengqi’s death. Who would have thought that after a few years, what he hated the most was for Zhu Chengqi to die so early? Why didn’t Zhu Chengqi live for a few more years so that there was enough time for him to grow?
“Yang Yang, are you still there?” After arguing with Father w.a.n.g, Mother Zhu’s temper had not yet completely subsided. If her att.i.tude was softer, Father w.a.n.g would really not take her seriously. Mother Zhu expressed that no matter what kind of situation she encountered in the future, she was not going to show weakness anymore. The w.a.n.g family was worthless. It was her blessing if they were polite toward her.
“Yes, Mom, I’m still here.” w.a.n.g Yang, who felt better psychologically, recovered himself. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. Everything in the Zhu family was created by Uncle with difficulty. Furthermore, the both of us are the only people left in the Zhu family. Although I don’t know what Uncle was thinking of previously, I feel that as half of the Zhu family, I am obliged to take everything from the Zhu family back. Mom, I won’t give up.”
Mother Zhu hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I think so too. You know your uncle had been ill for so many years. Even if the lawyer and doctor proved that your uncle was clear-minded when he was making the will, I don’t think so. Yang Yang, we should get back what we deserve. However, nothing’s more important than human beings. In Mom’s heart, you’re ranked first. Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense and take his words seriously, alright?”
w.a.n.g Yang’s mood improved. “Mom, don’t worry. I understand what you mean. I won’t put myself in a difficult spot. Everything I do is for myself, not for others. Even if I really lose this lawsuit in the end, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t have to take responsibility for it and feel guilty to the w.a.n.g family.”
Indeed, his mom didn’t know about Zhu Baoguo’s death and what happened after his death. Indeed, the w.a.n.g family had spent money on him back then, but over these years, hadn’t his mom subsequently returned all the money?
Even if he really owed the w.a.n.g family, it was already enough that his mom had helped him return the favor. The lawsuit with Qiao Nan was only related to him. His mom was right. He didn’t owe the w.a.n.g family. Why was it that he could only win this lawsuit and not lose? Who set this rule?
Even if he really won and was willing to help the w.a.n.g family, it was because he had a conscience and treated these relatives well. However, if he wasn’t willing to do so, that was alright. He didn’t owe the w.a.n.g family.
Upon thinking that when he really helped these people, these people only treated that everything he did was what he should have done since he had owed them, w.a.n.g Yang felt uncomfortable in his heart. Upon thinking that the person who had caused this misconception was his father, w.a.n.g Yang’s mood became worse.
If he had known this would happen, he would have communicated more with his mother. That way, he wouldn’t have always been taken into the ditch by his father. From today on, he was going to have a clearer stand. This lawsuit belonged to him and Qiao Nan. It had nothing to do with the w.a.n.g family.
A father should know his son best.
After hearing the conversation between the mother and son, Father w.a.n.g’s face changed. He didn’t expect w.a.n.g Yang’s cognition and persistence over the years to change so easily by Mother Zhu’s casual words. w.a.n.g Yang said that he was fighting this lawsuit for himself and this had nothing to do with the w.a.n.g family. Father w.a.n.g could tell that w.a.n.g Yang didn’t say these words just to coax Mother Zhu. He really had such thoughts.
How could this happen?!
He had placed the w.a.n.g family’s burden on w.a.n.g Yang. Only when there is pressure can there be motivation, and only when there is motivation can there be progress. Only then would w.a.n.g Yang never give up when facing Zhai Sheng. If w.a.n.g Yang separated the interests of the w.a.n.g family from this lawsuit and didn’t feel so pressurized, what should he do if w.a.n.g Yang was no longer as active and insistent as before?
If w.a.n.g Yang freed himself and felt that his life wasn’t bad now even though he had lost the lawsuit, what should he do? What should the w.a.n.g family do? Father w.a.n.g wholeheartedly thought that w.a.n.g Yang would become the n.o.blest person in the w.a.n.g family, taking most credit. He was w.a.n.g Yang’s father. If w.a.n.g Yang made so many contributions to the w.a.n.g family, that meant he didn’t let the w.a.n.g family down. Without him, would the w.a.n.g family be able to have a descendant like w.a.n.g Yang, who brought the entire family to such great heights?
Furthermore, if he had not coaxed the Zhu family’s daughter to marry him back then, w.a.n.g Yang wouldn’t have such a good family foundation and wouldn’t be where he was today.
w.a.n.g Yang was his son. The foundation that w.a.n.g Yang had was all painstakingly arranged by him.
