Unfortunately, Wang Yang had never done so. That filial and obedient son in his memories had suddenly disappeared. It was as though someone else had taken his place. Why else was Wang Yang acting so differently now?


Unable to wait any longer due to the entire Wang family’s hopes on him, Father Wang had no choice but to make the call to Wang Yang, hoping that he would receive some good news from Wang Yang.


What disappointed Father Wang was that he had already felt something was amiss the moment Wang Yang picked up the call, although he had not uttered a word. After all, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Father Wang had placed the entire Wang family’s future on Wang Yang, but now that it was time to reap his harvest, it was very likely that his son was going to let the entire Wang family down, even ruining them so much that they would never get back up. Father Wang couldn’t take such a cruel and heavy blow.


“Old man!” Mother Zhu’s panicked voice could be heard on the other end of the call. “Your medicine. Hurry and take it. Didn’t the doctor say that you have high blood pressure and your heart isn’t very good either? You can’t afford to get angry. You have to believe in our son. Things will change for the better.” Mother Zhu hated her brother, Zhu Chengqi, for wreaking havoc in the family.


She had never thought that Zhu Chengqi, her elder brother, would betray her. If she had known that her brother would be so muddleheaded, she wouldn’t have allowed Yang Yang to simply stay by her brother’s side. She would have forced her brother to put down in his will that he would hand everything over to Yang Yang. Even now, Mother Zhu couldn’t help but wonder if Qiao Nan had poisoned Zhu Chengqi or enchanted him. Otherwise, why had Wang Yang’s name not even been mentioned in Zhu Chengqi’s will? In fact, he had left everything belonging to the Zhu family to Qiao Nan, who had nothing to do with them!


It wasn’t Wang Yang who told her that Zhu Chengqi had been sober and in the right state of mind when making this will. There were also lawyers and doctors who could attest to that fact. In response, Mother Zhu could only say that the will was either fake or invalid.


“You! Scram!” Father Wang flared up even more upon seeing Mother Zhu. Why had he married her? She was the one who had liked him. He hadn’t liked her. In his youth, he had had a partner who was much more beautiful and gentle than this old woman in front of him. But that lady’s family background had been too average, and Mother Zhu had been Zhu Chengqi’s only younger sister.


He had only sacrificed himself to marry a woman whom he didn’t even like for the sake of the Zhu family. He had given his whole life as well as all of the Wang family’s money, but what had he gotten in return? Now that Zhu Chengqi was dead, the Wang family couldn’t even touch a single cent of whatever belonged to the Zhu family! Yes, Zhu Chengqi was dead and Father Wang couldn’t do anything to him. But Mother Zhu was still alive. Naturally, all the anger and resentment he felt toward Zhu Chengqi were vented out on Mother Zhu.


Mother Zhu was furious and anxious at the same time. Having been married to Father Wang for so many years, she knew exactly what he was up to. But since they were already of this age, with grandchildren that were about to enter primary school, she no longer flared up at Father Wang like she had done in her youth. No matter the reason behind Father Wang marrying her, the couple had lived quite comfortably all these years.


Their son had already gotten married and had even given them a grandson. Even though she knew what Father Wang and Wang Yang were plotting, Mother Zhu could not help but think about how she would be the only one left in the Zhu family once her brother died. In that case, all of the Zhu family’s assets would naturally go to her, the Zhu family’s daughter. Since she had a son, it was natural for her to pass her things down to Yang Yang.


With Yang Yang taking care of her brother, the Zhu family’s assets would directly be transferred to Yang Yang once her brother passed away. There wouldn’t be much of a problem taking her out of the equation. There was nothing wrong with this inheritance sequence. What was wrong was that will that had appeared all of a sudden!


Mother Zhu knew that Wang Yang had gotten rather upset because of that will. But Mother Zhu had been proud about her identity toward the Wang family for half her life. She had never put up with anyone throwing a tantrum at her or putting the blame on her, apart from Wang Yang and her husband. She had never been the kind of daughter-in-law who was willing to be bullied. After all, her husband’s siblings had been well taken care of all these years.


Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if they had dared to get upset at her when they only got money to spend thanks to her? Were they fools?


Mother Zhu hated her brother, Zhu Chengqi, for causing trouble for her. She was Zhu Chengqi’s closest kin, and Wang Yang was Zhu Chengqi’s closest younger relative. Up until now, Mother Zhu was still confused as to why Zhu Chengqi had left such a will, leaving all of the Zhu family’s assets to a completely unrelated person.


Qiao Nan had nothing to do with the Zhu family at all. Mother Zhu was terribly miserable, feeling as though people were shameless enough to do anything for money. It didn’t matter that Qiao Nan was a girl. If Qiao Nan was Zhu Chengqi’s daughter, she would still be Zhu Chengqi’s child even if she was a girl. Then, it would make sense for the Zhu family’s assets to be passed down to her.


But Mother Zhu didn’t even know Qiao Nan, so how could she possibly be happy about her family’s assets going to such a stranger? Seeing how infuriated her husband had gotten over the matter, Mother Zhu cajoled him cautiously, in case Father Wang flew into a rage and had to be sent to the hospital.


“My brother was really muddleheaded and people nowadays are really willing to do anything, even if it goes against their conscience! Yang Yang really doesn’t have a choice in this. You’re unhappy, but Yang Yang feels much worse. Just think of it as my brother who dragged Yang Yang down.” To be honest, even if their family were to get hold of those assets, it would belong to her son, Yang Yang, alone. It would have nothing to do with the rest of the Wang family.


In that case, only Yang Yang’s interests were concerned when it came to the Zhu family’s inheritance. She could understand her husband’s anxiousness. After all, it was only right for a father to be concerned about his son. Both she and her husband only wanted the best for their son. With the Zhu family’s assets, they would never have to worry about their son ever again.


But if the rest of the Wang family dared to say anything nasty to her, they had better not expect her to fork out any more money to support them. Did they really think that they were her ancestors and that she was obliged to support them? How shameless!


What else could Father Wang say after Mother Zhu’s words? Could Father Wang possibly tell Mother Zhu that her nephew had been beaten to death by hooligans all because of her son? No one had expected that young people would have been so heavy-handed, causing that lecture to turn into a murder.
