Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 2353

Chapter 2353: Settling Scores (3)

“When they wanted me, I gave them money. When they needed connections, I gritted my teeth and relied on my uncle to get them the connections they wanted. As compared to those hooligans who simply got normal jobs, don’t you think that I’ve repaid the Wang family?”

Wang Yang felt exhausted as he talked about it. How had he been so stupid at that time? Connections grew weaker every time one used them. Every time he used his uncle’s name, it grew less effective too. If he had not used those connections then, he could definitely have used them in the future to pave the way for his son.

Unfortunately, he had treated the Wang family so well without any care for his son, and yet, the Wang family still thought that he had not done enough for them.

It was obvious who the true ingrates were.

Father Wang was unable to retort Wang Yang because everything he had said was true. After some thought, Father Wang finally managed to force out a reply. “There’s no comparison between the two. Those hooligans had nothing to do with the Wang family. The people whom you talked about earlier are all your siblings. It’s only right for family members to help one another. How could you bring that up when talking about how the Wang family’s resources were spent on you? It was only right for you to do that!”

While devastated, Wang Yang’s mind was now clear. “If that’s the case, things will be even easier to settle. I was the old master’s eldest grandson. It was all because of your teachings that I hated Zhu Baoguo so much. You elders have to take responsibility for me causing Zhu Baoguo’s death too. In fact, you have to bear most of the responsibility. We’re a family, so it was only right for you to have settled the matter with the Wang family’s money and resources at that time. Didn’t you say that we’re a family? It’s only right that we help one another. How can we talk about a family member owing another anything?”

After swallowing a breath, Wang Yang continued. “Since no one owes anyone anything, there’s no need to settle any accounts. Didn’t you say that my uncles and aunts are all angry at me and want to disown me? Relationships depend on fate and willingness. Since we don’t have that fate, that’s fine. Let’s not disturb each other anymore.”

Wang Yang had a good understanding of the Wang family’s temper, courage, and abilities.

Before this call, Wang Yang had thought of leaving a way out for the Wang family. After all, someone in the Wang family might unexpectedly do very well. But now, Wang Yang had changed his mind.

Even if someone were to rise up in the Wang family, there was no way they would ever rise up to his position, much less surpass him.

Wasn’t the Wang family envious of him? But that didn’t matter. After all, he was the only one in the entire Wang family who had an impressive uncle like Zhu Chengqi. Seeing it in this way, he had not been at a loss pretending to be Zhu Chengqi’s son all these years.

He had vented his anger and had settled his accounts with Father Wang before hanging up. Less than a minute later, Wang Yang called Li Yayan over. “Dear, make a call to Qiao Nan and let her know about the Wang family’s plans.”

Li Yayan was stunned. “Dear, what’s wrong with you? Are you thinking of…” Was he hoping that the Wang family would succeed? Then, was he going to join forces with them?

If they were to tell Qiao Nan that the Wang family was trying to target the Qiao family, the Wang family’s plan would never succeed. If the Wang family were to learn that they had been the ones who had let the news out, they might very well view them as enemies from then on!

Wang Yang sneered. “I’ve thought of these things too simply all this while. Even now, I still have no clue how Qiao Nan found out about the truth behind Zhu Baoguo’s death after all these years. It’s clear that Qiao Nan’s the only intelligent one in the Qiao family. Do you think that Qiao Nan would let her guard down just because I withdrew the lawsuit? I can’t help but wonder if Qiao Nan already knows about the Wang family’s plans by now.”

As such, it was impossible for Qiao Nan to entirely let her guard down. Not only would Qiao Nan have already guessed that the Wang family would have plans of getting back at her, but Qiao Nan might even be watching the Wang family’s every move by now.

Li Yayan shuddered. “Is Qiao Nan really that evil and impressive?”

“Otherwise, how would she have married Zhai Sheng or become Zhu Chengqi’s goddaughter? This woman appears to be a harmless little bunny, but she’s actually a roaring tiger. If they dare to underestimate Qiao Nan, they will end up like me, wasting my whole life’s efforts.”

Wang Yang sighed deeply. So what if he had found out about that now? There was no way of salvaging the situation.

Li Yayan moved closer to Wang Yang to draw warmth from him. “If Qiao Nan’s so smart and has already guessed the actions of the Wang family, what’s the point in me calling her? Isn’t that unnecessary?”

In the past, she had been ignorant and had simply treated Qiao Nan as an uneducated old woman. That was why she had been so bold to think of taking advantage of Qiao Nan.

Now that she knew that Qiao Nan was someone whom Wang Yang couldn’t even provoke, Li Yayan no longer had the guts to approach her.

Wang Yang’s expression remained indifferent. “I don’t know why Qiao Nan’s putting on an act. For some reason, she gets even more agitated than Zhu Chengqi at the mention of Zhu Baoguo’s death. Others might even have mistaken her for Zhu Baoguo’s mom. It’s true that I’m involved in Zhu Baoguo’s death. How do you think Qiao Nan feels toward me? I’ve already taken the initiative to drop the lawsuit. We can’t afford to offend someone like Qiao Nan. Even if there’s no possibility of ever being on good terms with her, I have to be soft. Otherwise, Qiao Nan might find a reason to get Zhai Sheng to deal with me. Then, we’ll have no choice but to leave the capital and return to Ping Cheng.”

He had already severed his ties with the Wang family. Unless he had no other choice, there was no way Wang Yang would agree to return.

Qiao Nan? He had better not have any ideas of getting revenge on her. He had better keep his distance from her as far as possible. That was already the best he could do.

Because he had already offended her greatly in the past, it was only natural that he had to find ways to make up for that now.
