Chapter 2344 - You’re Impressive (3)
He obviously knew how much Qiao Nan hated him. Why would he humiliate himself? It was precisely because he didn"t understand and wanted to understand that he would find Qiao Nan today. He took the initiative to reconcile. "I don"t know. Qiao Nan, you"re right. I don"t stand a chance at winning this lawsuit at all. Indeed, whether I withdraw the lawsuit or not has no impact on you as you don"t value everything from the Zhu family as much as I do. I just don"t want to be a fool. Did you tell my uncle about this, or did he…"
w.a.n.g Yang was most unwilling to accept the latter result, which was that Zhu Chengqi had always known that Zhu Baoguo"s death had had a lot to do with him.
Father w.a.n.g"s love for w.a.n.g Yang was always that he spoke more but did less. All these years, w.a.n.g Yang had always been taking care of Zhu Chengqi. Different from Father w.a.n.g, Zhu Chengqi"s care for w.a.n.g Yang had always been that he did more but spoke less.
Every time this happened, Father w.a.n.g would run to w.a.n.g Yang and ask for credit when Zhu Chengqi didn"t say anything else. "See? The idea I gave you back then was good, right? I pointed you to a road that leads to Rome. Without me, you won"t be anything today. As such, you must remember that you have what you have today because of me, your biological father. You have to be more filial to me in the future and listen to my words. Don"t mingle with your stupid mother and learn your mother"s habit of doing stupid things."
Zhu Chengqi was obviously the one who helped w.a.n.g Yang. When Father w.a.n.g claimed credit, it was as if everything was done by him instead.
At that time, w.a.n.g Yang had a good relations.h.i.+p with Father w.a.n.g. He understood in his heart that Father w.a.n.g"s words were exaggerated and that Zhu Chengqi was the one who decided on everything. However, one was his biological father and the other was his uncle who didn"t devote himself to him. Between the two, w.a.n.g Yang didn"t hesitate to acknowledge his biological father claiming all credit and become more filial to him in the future.
Time had pa.s.sed.
Now that w.a.n.g Yang thought about it carefully again, he felt that Father w.a.n.g and he were ridiculous. Ridiculously stupid, that is. From the beginning to the end, he had never made a correct judgment and a right choice.
These were enough to make w.a.n.g Yang suffer. With the example of Father w.a.n.g, who knew how to say but not do things, before him, w.a.n.g Yang couldn"t accept that his uncle, who had taken care of him so much previously, maintained such an att.i.tude after long knowing that he was the one who had harmed his son.
This situation ill.u.s.trated only one point: Zhu Chengqi had ulterior motives for being kind to him. There was a high possibility that Zhu Chengqi brought him up well as he wished so that he would experience what it was like to fall from heaven to h.e.l.l. Knowing that he had such a biological father was enough for w.a.n.g Yang to start doubting his life. If Zhu Chengqi"s kindness to him was fake as well and that it was just to harm him, w.a.n.g Yang really didn"t know how he should face his life in the future.
Qiao Nan really detested w.a.n.g Yang"s selfish nature, where he only allowed himself to harm others but not allowing others to harm him. Until now, w.a.n.g Yang didn"t know what he had done wrong. He only knew how to be calculative and see if others did him wrong. He didn"t reflect on how many things he had done wrong and how many people had lost their happiness because of him.
"w.a.n.g Yang, there"s no significance to your question at all. What I can answer you is that if you don"t want people to know what you did, then don"t do it. When it was too early, indeed, no one had suspected you for Zhu Baoguo"s death. After all, you were just a teenager back then. As time pa.s.sed, your nature was exposed and doubts started to form. Also, there"s something you haven"t figured out yet. G.o.dfather has the final say for everything in the Zhu family. The Zhu family isn"t a court where everything needs to be based on evidence. It"s enough if my G.o.dfather has doubts about certain matters and knows it in his heart. As such, it was a waste of effort for the w.a.n.g family to help you so much back then."
Qiao Nan didn"t understand how the w.a.n.g family and w.a.n.g Yang had such naive thoughts. They felt that unless her G.o.dfather had sufficient evidence to prove that Zhu Baoguo"s death was related to w.a.n.g Yang, even if her G.o.dfather had doubts about w.a.n.g Yang, he couldn"t deny him and not give everything from the Zhu family to him because of his personal emotions.
That was absurd.
"Yes." w.a.n.g Yang covered his face. It was unknown if he did that because he was angry or embarra.s.sed. "In comparison, my uncle was really good to me. Based on what you said just now, can I say that my uncle had indeed known about this matter?"
w.a.n.g Yang was the same as Mother Zhu. Even if Zhu Chengqi brought out a lot of reasonable reasons why he wanted to leave the Zhu family"s inheritance to Qiao Nan, he wouldn"t agree to it. However, if Zhu Baoguo"s death was brought out, w.a.n.g Yang was no longer as confident as before.
"You should be thankful that you"re my G.o.dfather"s biological nephew and that my G.o.dfather wasn"t someone ruthless. Otherwise, it"s nothing that he wasn"t willing to give you everything from the Zhu family. All these years, you had relied on him to climb up the ranks. My G.o.dfather had the right to step on you until you became that young lad who had just graduated from school. My G.o.dfather"s kind enough to you. You"re the greedy one who did something sorry to my G.o.dfather and even wanted to take away all his inheritance. Is it hereditary that your w.a.n.g family"s face is so big?"
w.a.n.g Yang didn"t dare to rebut anything when Qiao Nan jeered at him like this.
w.a.n.g Yang came to find Qiao Nan today for two purposes. Firstly, he wanted to reconcile. He felt that as long as he no longer wanted the Zhu family"s inheritance, his mother might feel better in her heart and stop tormenting herself like this. Secondly, he wanted to understand clearly who had revealed the secret such that Zhu Chengqi suspected that he had to do with Zhu Baoguo"s death.
If Zhu Chengqi had really known the truth about Zhu Baoguo"s death, w.a.n.g Yang would no longer doubt the contents of that will. He would feel that his efforts in recent years were worthless.
No matter how well he took care of Zhu Chengqi, he wasn"t Zhu Baoguo. Compared to a nephew, Zhu Chengqi would naturally desire his biological son"s care more. Furthermore, he didn"t carry a good att.i.tude toward Zhu Chengqi. His feelings for him weren"t real.
However, at this second, even though w.a.n.g Yang had not gotten his answer, he had lost the motivation to probe further. Was it important if Zhu Chengqi knew about it first or if Qiao Nan was the one who told Zhu Chengqi? It wasn"t. No matter who told whom, it couldn"t change the result that he was a big loser.
"Don"t worry. I"ll keep to my promise. After returning, I"ll call my lawyer and get him to withdraw the lawsuit. Everything from the Zhu family belongs to you.. Qiao Nan, you"re formidable!" w.a.n.g Yang said, not willing to take this lying down.
