Chapter 2335: Retribution Is Here (3)
There was no need for the Wang family to even ask her about this. There was absolutely no way she would ever agree to it. It would, perhaps, be even faster if they dreamed about it instead.
Not only had Qiao Nan disagreed, but she had even criticized the entire Wang family. At that, Li Yayan could no longer hold her true feelings in. “Qiao Nan, don’t think you’re so high and mighty. You snatched what is rightfully Wang Yang’s and yet, you’re criticizing the Wang family? How has the Wang family provoked you? In what way are they ingrates?”
Li Yayan was reluctant to admit that Qiao Nan was clearly accusing Wang Yang. “I’m sticking to my guns. Wang Yang is only getting what he deserves. In fact, whatever he’s getting is definitely less than what he deserves. Don’t go overboard. I might just fight back!”
She was not going to let anyone scold her husband under her watch.
Mother Zhu shared the same thoughts. Father Wang had been infuriated by Wang Yang a few days earlier, and Wang Yang was no longer willing to let his father control him any further. Having given it some thought, Wang Yang thought that it would be better for Mother Zhu to bring her grandson to the capital for a family reunion instead of staying in Ping Cheng and getting influenced by the Wang family.
After arriving in the capital, Mother Zhu’s concern was still about the lawsuit against Qiao Nan.
Knowing that her daughter-in-law, Li Yayan, was going to meet Qiao Nan, Mother Zhu followed without a second of hesitation. She wanted to see just how evil Qiao Nan looked. How had she managed to bewitch Zhai Sheng so much so that he had gotten married at his age and had even given birth to three children in the short span of a year?
Since Mother Zhu had no clue about Li Yayan’s plan, she had not dared to show up for fear of ruining Li Yayan’s plan. Seeing the pair enter the school canteen and sitting down in a corner, Mother Zhu found a convenient spot to hide and eavesdropped on the conversation between her daughter-in-law and Qiao Nan.
Even though Mother Zhu had never looked down on Li Yayan like Father Wang, Mother Zhu agreed, for the first time, that it was not too bad for Wang Yang to have married Li Yayan after seeing how she was willing to humble herself for her son’s sake. If this had been any other woman, they might not even have been willing to be involved in Wang Yang’s matters, let alone run around and beg for mercy from others.
If Li Yayan’s performance was satisfactory to Mother Zhu, Qiao Nan’s haughtiness and arrogance irked Mother Zhu terribly. It was exactly because she had seen what kind of person Qiao Nan was that Mother Zhu was even more confused as to why Zhu Chengqi had made such a will. Her brother must have been in the wrong state of mind to have decided to leave his inheritance to someone like that!
Mother Zhu had already been infuriated, and the moment she heard Qiao Nan ‘slander’ the Wang family’s name as well as her son, saying that her son was an ingrate, Mother Zhu could no longer hold it in. She rushed out and sat down beside Li Yayan, speaking to Qiao Nan in a stern voice. “Don’t think that you’re above everyone just because you married into the Zhai family. Everything you say has legal consequences. I dare you to slander my son again. My brother’s will has really boosted your ego. What right do you have to compare yourself to my son? What has Yang Yang done wrong? Why do you describe him as an ingrate?”
“M-mom.” Li Yayan was speechless. She had been having a good conversation with Qiao Nan, but her mother-in-law had suddenly rushed out and was even fiercer than her. Li Yayan could not even grasp the situation for a moment. “Mom, why are you here? Aren’t you at home? Did you leave the child alone?”
Of course, Mother Zhu would never be so careless with her grandson. “Don’t worry. I found a good place. Kang Kang won’t get lost, but he’s not the main point now. Is this the woman who bewitched my brother and is going to inherit his assets?”
Seeing Qiao Nan, Mother Zhu was extremely disappointed. She couldn’t see anything extraordinary about Qiao Nan. So, why had her brother gone crazy to make such a stupid will? It was ridiculous!
“What did you tell my brother? What did you feed him to make him lose all sense? Besides, what right do you have to donate the Zhu family’s money instead of letting Yang Yang have a single cent? Who are you to have the guts to say such things?”
Mother Zhu was fuming and there were too many things she wanted to scold Qiao Nan about. Not only had this old woman criticized her lovely son, but she had even set her eyes on the Zhu family’s money and resources. There was no way Mother Zhu could remain silent in the face of this. She didn’t even need Father Wang to push her on to act on this now that someone was trying to snatch her family’s things.
“Yayan spoke to you nicely and humbled herself before you. She even let you make your own decision in this, but this is how you’re treating her? Forget it that you’re fierce, but you’re so heartless! If you don’t explain yourself clearly, I’m not going to let this go!”
Did she think that a simple apology would end everything after she had scolded others? Sorry, she would never let that happen.
As Wang Yang’s mother, she would never let Qiao Nan off if Qiao Nan didn’t explain herself clearly.
“Hehehe…” She knew that Mother Zhu was Zhu Baoguo’s only aunt. Hearing that Mother Zhu was trying to seek justice for Wang Yang without even mentioning Zhu Baoguo, Qiao Nan felt that there was no need for any explanation on her part. Even if she did explain herself, no one would believe her anyway. After all, the Wang family had done a good job in cleaning up after themselves at that time.
It had been a few decades since that incident. At that time, no one had managed to link Wang Yang to Zhu Baoguo’s death. Now that so many years had passed, almost all evidence had been destroyed. What could Qiao Nan say in front of Mother Zhu, who was Wang Yang’s biological mother? “I’m sorry. I’ve finished my meal. You two can continue with your conversation. I think that your retribution is finally here!”
