Chapter 2347 - Dying? What A Joke! (3)
Father w.a.n.g was naturally the one who had had the biggest reaction to it. He dialed w.a.n.g Yang"s number nonstop until w.a.n.g Yang picked up.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Yang knew that the w.a.n.g family must have found out about him withdrawing the lawsuit. That was exactly why he wanted to avoid it. Mother Zhu"s condition had finally stabilized, and the recent events had thrown w.a.n.g Yang into a frenzy. w.a.n.g Yang wanted nothing more than for Mother Zhu to recover well.
Yes, he had killed Zhu Baoguo, but he had already handed all of the Zhu family"s a.s.sets over to Qiao Nan. There was no need for his mom to feel so miserable anymore.
Now that his mom was feeling better, it was his dad"s turn to feel miserable. Upon picking up the phone, w.a.n.g Yang wisely chose to put the phone a distance away from his own ear. As expected, Father w.a.n.g"s roar was terribly loud. "w.a.n.g Yang, are you stupid? Who allowed you to be so bold? How could you withdraw the lawsuit behind my back? w.a.n.g Yang, do you still think of me as your father? How could you do this without even discussing it with me? Who gave you the right to do that? Was it your mom?"
Father w.a.n.g could not understand the situation. Although Mother Zhu had a nasty temper, she was extremely protective of her son. As such, she would never allow anyone to s.n.a.t.c.h anything away from her son. If it had not been Mother Zhu who had asked w.a.n.g Yang to withdraw the lawsuit, w.a.n.g Yang would never have done such a foolish thing.
Hearing the news, Father w.a.n.g"s blood pressure had shot up so rapidly that he had nearly been sent to the hospital. He had insisted on not being hospitalized because he had to take charge of the situation and turn the tide. Even without the w.a.n.g family"s reminder, Father w.a.n.g knew that he could not afford to crumble at this moment. If he fell, w.a.n.g Yang would continue with his blunder. Then, the w.a.n.g family would really crumble, and there was no way they were ever going to recover from this. They would have missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Perhaps, withdrawing the lawsuit would mean that he had wasted all his efforts in marrying a woman whom he had not even liked in the first place. His entire life"s worth of effort had been in vain. Father w.a.n.g was never going to let w.a.n.g Yang screw up his efforts, even if w.a.n.g Yang was his only son.
"I"m telling you that you can"t drop this lawsuit. I"ve told you a hundred times that the Zhu family"s a.s.sets are our family"s. You can only win this lawsuit. You can"t afford to lose it. Even if you have to give up your life for it, you have to take back the Zhu family"s a.s.sets for the w.a.n.g family. Even if you die, I"ll still be able to support your son with that money. The Zhu family"s inheritance is more important than your life! Hurry and make a call and hire the best lawyers! Continue with the lawsuit against Qiao Nan! Do you hear me?"
Father w.a.n.g felt his anger rising up within him as he shouted as his son, so much so that he was feeling faint. How much bad karma had he acc.u.mulated in his past life to have gotten such a son? "You"re really heartless if you choose to listen to your mom. Do you really think that your grandpa did what he did to protect the w.a.n.g family and not you? Have you forgotten how well your grandpa treated you while he was still alive? This isn"t just my wish. It was your grandpa"s dying wis.h.!.+"
Left with no other choice, Father w.a.n.g could only mention Old Master w.a.n.g in the hopes that w.a.n.g Yang"s pa.s.sion would be reignited. Then, he would continue bugging Qiao Nan until the very end so that Qiao Nan would give up and compromise. They could not afford to admit to defeat.
It was only after Father w.a.n.g finished his words that w.a.n.g Yang replied, "I"ve already dropped the case. Given the efficiency of the lawyers hired by the Zhai family, I"m sure the Zhu family"s a.s.sets are no longer the Zhu family"s. They"re already the Qiao family"s. Even if I continue with the lawsuit, it won"t change that fact."
w.a.n.g Yang knew that he had given up all chances of fighting with Qiao Nan the moment he dropped the lawsuit. As such, w.a.n.g Yang wanted nothing more than for his mother to calm down and for the family of four to live well from then on.
As for the w.a.n.g family?
That wasn"t his family. At least, it wasn"t his w.a.n.g family. If the w.a.n.g family felt that he had been unfilial and had wronged them, he would simply not return and be a bother to them. They could live their own separate lives from now on.
"You…" Father w.a.n.g twitched and he quickly swallowed a pill for his heart. "This is an order, not a suggestion. You"d better follow my order. You shouldn"t have your personal opinion. You"d better follow my instructions. I"m telling you again that you can lose your life, but before that happens, you"d better take back all of the Zhu family"s a.s.sets."
Father w.a.n.g had no desire to listen to any of w.a.n.g Yang"s nonsense. All he wanted to see was a result. He couldn"t allow w.a.n.g Yang to ruin the efforts of several generations of the w.a.n.g family. The w.a.n.g family was waiting to make a return from the grave and to create a better future with the Zhu family"s a.s.sets. He"d rather lose his son than lose the Zhu family"s money and resources.
But w.a.n.g Yang was no fool either. Father w.a.n.g had reiterated that w.a.n.g Yang could sacrifice his life in order to get the Zhu family"s inheritance. What did that mean? His dad was clearly hinting that he had to use some special underhanded methods in order to reach his goals. A "small" sacrifice was both necessary and worth it.
In the past, w.a.n.g Yang had agreed with that. If not for Zhu Baoguo"s "sacrifice", he would never have become the master of the Zhu family. Now that he was becoming the sacrificial lamb, w.a.n.g Yang laughed. These words were no longer pleasing to his ear.
He had an aged and ill mother by his side, a young and innocent son, as well as a good wife. He had so many dependents. Why should he abandon these people whom he cared about and sacrifice his life just for the w.a.n.g family to lead comfortable lives?
Sorry, he had never been brought up to believe in such warped ideas in the w.a.n.g family. He wasn"t going to accept that. He would never kidnap or harm Qiao Nan, nor force Qiao Nan and the Zhai family to give up the Zhu family"s a.s.sets. If he were to do so, he might very well face the Zhai family"s revenge, go to prison, or even be sentenced to death.
He wasn"t so n.o.ble, and neither was the w.a.n.g family worth it. He felt that his dad was being ridiculous. Perhaps, everyone else in the w.a.n.g family was his father"s biological sons. Only he had been picked up from the trash.
His father would much rather lose a son so that his brothers and nephews would prosper. He only mentioned his son so that his son could sacrifice his life for the rest of the w.a.n.g family! What a joke!
