Chapter 2318: My Son (1)
Wang Yang’s face turned pale. “Let’s go back first.”
“The lawyer we hired this time isn’t good. We’ll hire a more formidable one next time. Nobody can think of snatching away things that belong to me.” Before the court session started, hadn’t he long guessed such a result? He had also long considered what he should do after losing. As such, he had nothing to be disappointed with. This wasn’t over. There was nothing for Qiao Nan to be smug and happy about!
“Yes.” Li Yayan sniffed and suppressed her tears. She knew that Wang Yang hated her crying, especially at times like these. If she cried, she would seem unlucky and lose all the good luck. As long as Wang Yang didn’t give up, she would definitely stand by Wang Yang’s side and support him.
The couple returned to their residence in the capital in despair. After reaching home, they sat on each side of the sofa and didn’t say anything. They just spent an hour in a daze. It wasn’t until the landline at home rang did Wang Yang and Li Yayan jump up from the sofa in shock. Their lost souls seemed to have returned to their bodies and they reacted like normal human beings.
Li Yayan looked at the phone fearfully and wasn’t willing to pick up the call. “Dear?”
Wang Yang was a man, after all. He wasn’t prepared to give up yet. If he didn’t pick up this call, the other party would probably keep calling until he picked it up. If the other party became exasperated and came over directly after buying a plane ticket, it would be more awkward for them as they would have to talk face-to-face then. As such, Wang Yang went to sit next to the phone and picked up the call. “Hello, it’s me.”
“Have the both of you reached home? How is it? Did you win? Why didn’t the two of you switch on your phones? Did you win the lawsuit?” Father Wang only wanted to hear the good news and not anything else. It was as if he was deceiving himself. Father Wang obviously knew that his son stood a low chance of winning. However, when he asked him questions, he only mentioned winning but not losing.
Wang Yang felt that his heart was being hammered. “Dad, we lost the lawsuit. Everything in the Zhu family is given to Qiao Nan.”
With a ‘boom’, something seemed to have shattered on the other end of the call. “Old Wang, Old Wang, what happened to you? Don’t scare me. Medicine. Yes, the medicine. Hurry up and take your high blood pressure medicine.” Mother Zhu only felt that what her brother did was too overboard. Also, her man had reacted too strongly. Everyone knew about the result in their hearts.
If they really won this lawsuit, how would their son and daughter-in-law switch off their phones? They would have switched on their phones the moment they won and shared this piece of good news with them. If they had to take the initiative to call, they should more or less have a rough estimate of the result.
“I’m fine.” Father Wang felt that he shouldn’t be taking high blood pressure medicine but medicine for heart attack instead. When he heard that they lost the lawsuit, Father Wang only felt that his heart had exploded then. It hurt so badly that he couldn’t wait to just die like this. “Wang Yang, it’s me. You lost the lawsuit. Have you thought of what to do next?”
Even if Father Wang’s words were overbearing to Wang Yang and his attitude was that they could only win but not lose before the lawsuit started, in the face of losing the lawsuit, Father Wang couldn’t be as tough as before and only gave Wang Yang an option. “Wang Yang, you should know that the Wang family has placed all hopes on you. The Wang family has sacrificed so much for you. You can’t let the Wang family down.”
If the incident with Zhu Baoguo didn’t happen back then, even if the Wang family’s resources couldn’t be compared to the Zhu family’s, his brothers and nephews wouldn’t be performing so badly now.
Wang Yang had to get everything in the Zhu family and help the Wang family. No, this wasn’t helping but returning. This was what Wang Yang owed the Wang family.
“Nonsense!” Mother Zhu, who was completely not in the know, became unhappy. “Old man, stop giving Yang Yang so much pressure. What do you mean by my son owes the Wang family? Since when did Yang Yang owe them? They owe my Yang Yang instead!”
Which one of Yang Yang’s uncles and brothers didn’t spend her money and reach out to her for things? On account of her man and son, she treated her in-laws well. Others laughed at her for subsidizing the Wang family. Actually, Mother Zhu knew it in her heart. However, the money was hers. If she was willing to subsidize them, no one could care about it.
The problem was that the Wang family had spent her money and gotten benefits from her but was now giving so much pressure to her son and speaking ill of him. Mother Zhu couldn’t accept this. Did she spend all those money for nothing? The Wang family had spent her money and still dared to discredit her son. Since when did they become so proud?
What Mother Zhu couldn’t accept the most was that the person who said these words today wasn’t just any member of the Wang family but Father Wang. Mother Zhu became unhappy and wasn’t willing to feed him medicine. “Old man, do you have a conscience? Since when did Yang Yang owe the Wang family? Isn’t it enough that the Wang family is under my care? Is Yang Yang your son, or are they your sons? Why are you favoring outsiders?”
Mother Zhu was just short of saying that it was embarrassing for Father Wang to talk about Zhu Chengqi’s will. Her biological brother didn’t do humane things, but was her man saying humane words?! Her brother had made a ridiculous will, causing her son to suffer heavy losses. However, Yang Yang was just her brother’s nephew and not son. However, Yang Yang was the old man’s only biological son. How was there a father who said such things of his son?
In Mother Zhu’s eyes, Father Wang’s behavior couldn’t be forgiven.
“What do you know? Get away! If you continue to kick up a fuss, go back to your Zhu family. The Zhu family belongs to Qiao Nan now. Even if you’re surnamed Zhu, you’re not qualified to return to the Zhu family!” Father Wang was annoyed at his wife now. If Mother Zhu wasn’t surnamed Zhu, based on this woman’s low IQ, how would he be willing to marry this woman? He didn’t like such a woman!
Mother Zhu’s face changed. “Person surnamed Wang, are you crazy? What did you say? Repeat yourself.”
Because of the Zhu family, the Wang family treated Mother Zhu, their daughter-in-law, really well. When her in-laws were still around, they never caused Mother Zhu to be angry. They would discuss everything at home with Mother Zhu. If Mother Zhu already had some thoughts, the Wang family wouldn’t object.
