He had done so much and worked hard for so long. He just wanted to use w.a.n.g Yang, his capable son, to become another person who had made great contributions to the w.a.n.g family in the history of the w.a.n.g family.
However, if w.a.n.g Yang regarded himself as separate from the w.a.n.g family, no matter if this lawsuit would eventually be won or not, there was no doubt that w.a.n.g Yang’s thoughts toward the w.a.n.g family wouldn’t be as sincere as before. w.a.n.g Yang might not do things that would benefit the entire w.a.n.g family.
If w.a.n.g Yang couldn’t become the person who made the greatest contributions to the w.a.n.g family, then he couldn’t become the father of the person who made the greatest contributions to the w.a.n.g family. This was not in line with his original plan. One had to know that he didn’t even marry the woman he liked. He also couldn’t straighten his back in front of his wife in this lifetime. Wasn’t that all for this small purpose?
Once w.a.n.g Yang no longer cooperated with him, everything he had worked hard for would have become empty talk.
How would Father w.a.n.g be able to accept that most of his life’s work was ruined and his name couldn’t stay in the w.a.n.g family for long after his death? It was just that Mother Zhu was still by his side. It wasn’t convenient for him to say certain things in front of her.
Father w.a.n.g took a deep breath. “I’m tired. I’m going to take an afternoon nap. Go out. Don’t disturb me.”
Mother Zhu laughed. “We have slept on the same bed for decades. Sure, you want to rest, huh? I’ll leave.” What Mother Zhu really wanted to say was that they had lived half their lifetimes together. She knew what Father w.a.n.g was up to with an action of his.
Who wouldn’t feel heartache over their child? Mother Zhu insisted on not letting Father w.a.n.g give w.a.n.g Yang so much pressure. As such, Mother Zhu agreed without a second word when Father w.a.n.g asked her to leave. It was just that before Mother Zhu stepped out, she kept Father w.a.n.g’s phone. “The doctor said that your health isn’t good recently. You have to be exposed lesser to these digital devices as there is radiation. Rest well. Call me when you have rested enough.”
Mother Zhu kept his phone. Father w.a.n.g was like a son who couldn’t even resist. Although his phone had been kept away, there was still a landline in his room. Who knew that when he picked up the phone and wanted to call w.a.n.g Yang, the beep tone could be heard?
It was then did Father w.a.n.g realize that not only did Mother Zhu keep his phone when she left, but she even unplugged the main signal line of the landline at home. This caused Father w.a.n.g, who had no other communication tools on hand, to become anxious. However, he no longer had ways to contact w.a.n.g Yang. He could no longer brainwash w.a.n.g Yang and make him remember that his interests were binding with the w.a.n.g family’s.
w.a.n.g Yang naturally didn’t know what happened between Mother Zhu and Father w.a.n.g. It was already three days later when w.a.n.g Yang received a call from Father w.a.n.g. To Father w.a.n.g, the most difficult thing was that he had to borrow a chess friend’s phone to call his son since he couldn’t use the landline at home or his phone.
It could be said that Father w.a.n.g took great pains in order to contact w.a.n.g Yang again. Upon knowing that Mother Zhu was keeping watch on him and she only had w.a.n.g Yang in her heart, Father w.a.n.g gave up the idea of using the landline at home to contact w.a.n.g Yang.
Father w.a.n.g wasn’t someone who loved to play chess. Furthermore, their w.a.n.g family was in a lawsuit now. However, in order to give w.a.n.g Yang a call, Father w.a.n.g seemed to have forgotten that he was the losing party in this lawsuit. Not only did he take his medicine daily and have the habit of walking after meals, but he even got his nanny at home to push him to the community park from time to time so that he could play chess with other old men.
Perhaps Mother Zhu was really fooled by Father w.a.n.g when they were young. However, when they became old, the situation seemed to be reversed. It was unknown if it was because of hereditary issues that Mother Zhu’s health was much better than Father w.a.n.g’s. Father w.a.n.g had the three highs. Once he became agitated, it was very easy for these issues to cause great problems to Father w.a.n.g’s health.
On the contrary, it was unknown if Mother Zhu had been living heartlessly her whole life, but she was pretty healthy. She had minor illnesses occasionally and no major illnesses. Without a doubt, now that Father w.a.n.g was ill at this age, the person taking care of him was neither his son nor his brother or anyone else. It could only be Mother Zhu. This was what ‘spouses were the ones who accompanied oneself in old age’ meant.
It was also precisely because Mother Zhu was healthier than Father w.a.n.g that Father w.a.n.g needed Mother Zhu’s care in order to live well. He couldn’t take care of himself. Father w.a.n.g wasn’t thinking of doing anything big. He just wanted to have a call with his son alone, like in the past. He wanted to repeat the words he used to say to his son so that he could change him back to who he used to be and give him a promise.
Father w.a.n.g found it hard to realize such a small wish. As long as he was within Mother Zhu’s sight, he didn’t need to think about getting his hands on his phone, landline, or the computer, let alone using these tools to contact w.a.n.g Yang.
Mother Zhu was the female owner of the w.a.n.g family for years. Comparatively, the auntie naturally listened to Mother Zhu, who was healthy, had more interactions with her, and gave her her salary, more. After receiving Mother Zhu’s orders, not only would the auntie not help Father w.a.n.g, but she would also follow Mother Zhu’s instructions strictly and not be sloppy.
Father w.a.n.g thought of forking out money to bribe this nanny so that it would be more convenient for him to walk around in the future.
Who knew that the nanny would refuse?
It was still money and she would still be doing something. Furthermore, he didn’t offer a low price. On what basis did the nanny at home only want to earn Mother Zhu’s money but not his? Could it be that Mother Zhu paid her in US dollars while he was paying her in yuan, so she decided to ignore him?
Father w.a.n.g had no choice that the nanny listened to Mother Zhu completely. As such, he thought of going outside for a walk since the weather was good. He wanted to bask in the sun and play chess with the other old men in the neighborhood.
A few days ago, the nanny was still by Father w.a.n.g’s side and keeping a close watch on him. Mother Zhu said that with Father w.a.n.g’s current situation, he needed more care and attention, so there must be someone by his side.
Father w.a.n.g behaved very normally for the first few times. Coincidentally, the nanny received a call and had to leave for half an hour to get something. Father w.a.n.g knew that his chance was here.
There were so many people in the neighborhood and it was broad daylight.. The auntie felt safe to leave Father w.a.n.g for a while.
