Chapter 2284: Playing Piece

“Wang Yang, it’s best not to be so gullible. What a joke! I know about what you and your wife are up to, and so does Qiao Nan! I’m sure you understand that your wife stands an extremely low chance of succeeding now. To be honest, I have another question to ask you. If you don’t answer it truthfully, I won’t be able to find an appropriate way to target Qiao Nan. Then, you’ll have to discuss the matter with Qiao Nan yourself.”

Upon hearing that Qiao Nan had found out that Li Yayan was his wife, and Qiao Zijin had probably found out about it from Qiao Nan, Wang Yang had lost all feelings for Li Yayan. He knew that it was impossible for her to succeed now that her identity had been exposed. “Tell me. What do you want to know?”

“What’s your relationship with Chen Jun? And Qiao Nan even said that she knows all about your sins. What did you do to provoke Qiao Nan behind my back? You already knew how hard it would be to succeed in this matter, yet you still provoked Qiao Nan? You’re really making this difficult for me! Wang Yang, do you really want to settle the matter with Qiao Nan and get her to give up the inheritance?”

The mention of this only intensified Qiao Zijin’s hatred toward Wang Yang. This matter had already been complicated enough, but Wang Yang had even stirred up even more trouble behind her back! While she was working hard, Wang Yang was dragging her down on the other hand! If this continued, she would have no choice but to give up even though she desperately wanted the five million yuan. No wonder people often said that a terrible teammate was worse than a tough rival.

Wang Yang had dared to provoke Qiao Nan when he needed a favor from her. He was truly as stupid as a pig! Did Wang Yang think that this matter was not complicated enough and wanted to complicate it even further?

Wang Yang should have shown his true nature earlier so that she wouldn’t have had to waste her energy and efforts!

She had even offended her own mother for the sake of five million yuan. Ding Jiayi had gotten in contact with Qiao Nan behind her back to return to Ping Cheng. Qiao Zijin knew that Ding Jiayi might not even want to acknowledge her the next time she met her. She had already sacrificed too much for this matter. But Wang Yang had done such a foolish thing! Qiao Zijin had to resist the urge to kill Wang Yang right then and there.

“What-what did you say? Who?” Wang Yang’s hand trembled. He had never expected to hear Chen Jun’s name from Qiao Zijin’s mouth. He had reduced his contact with Chen Jun. In fact, it had been almost twenty years since he had collaborated with Chen Jun.

Both Wang Yang and Chen Jun had always maintained a tacit understanding on that matter, never mentioning it to anyone. Chen Jun dared not mention it because he knew he was the one at fault who had hurt Qiao Nan. He was afraid that he would never have the courage to face Qiao Nan if he were to mention it. On the other hand, Wang Yang dared not mention it entirely because of Zhu Chengqi.

If someone were to overhear them talking about this matter and word got to Zhu Chengqi, all his efforts in getting Zhu Chengqi to abandon Qiao Nan would have been in vain.

In order to ensure the fruits of his labor, there was no need to mention that matter at all. They simply talked about it in passing as ‘that incident’.

Almost twenty years had passed and if not for Qiao Zijin bringing it up all of a sudden, Wang Yang would almost have forgotten about how he had arranged for Chen Jun’s relationship with Qiao Nan. As for how Chen Jun had gotten involved with Qiao Zijin and had hurt Qiao Nan, that had been beyond his control.

But he couldn’t deny that without his arrangements, Qiao Nan would never have met Chen Jun. In that case, Qiao Nan would never have suffered in that way afterward.

Hearing Qiao Zijin mentioning Chen Jun out of the blue and talking about the sins he had committed, that incident naturally came to Wang Yang’s mind and his face paled.

Even though Wang Yang was not in front of Qiao Zijin, she was sure that Qiao Nan had not spouted nonsense based on how Wang Yang’s tone had undergone a drastic change. So, it turned out that there was indeed something that she didn’t know about. And it had something to do with her ex-husband, Chen Jun. “Be honest with me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you. Qiao Nan’s attitude has always been tough. If you don’t cooperate with me, you’d better just wait for the court case to begin. I won’t know what’s between you and Chen Jun if you don’t tell me about it. But Qiao Nan’s not as easily tricked as me. She seems to know something. If you don’t tell me about it, I won’t be able to find the right way of dealing with Qiao Nan.”

What frustrated Qiao Zijin the most was that this matter was obviously between Qiao Nan and Wang Yang. Why had they suddenly brought Chen Jun into the matter? Qiao Zijin felt that she would probably be unbearably miserable once she learned of the truth.

“Are you sure that Qiao Nan said all these?” Wang Yang wondered if Chen Jun had told Qiao Zijin something, so she was using this against him now. Wang Yang felt that there was no way he wouldn’t be able to defeat Qiao Zijin. If Qiao Zijin succeeded in tricking him, it would truly be a huge joke! Then, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone in the future, especially Chen Jun.

“You don’t believe me? I’m hanging up in that case. Maybe Qiao Nan will personally ask you about it in court. I’ve known Chen Jun for twenty years, and I was even his wife for over a decade. How did I not know that you knew Chen Jun? Have you ever been to the Chen family’s house? Or did Chen Jun go over to your house?”

Had Chen Jun done so much behind her back? Did Chen Jun really have absolutely no trust in his wife? Why had he hidden everything from her? Qiao Zijin was furious. If Chen Jun and Qiao Nan had gotten together on purpose, she had reason to believe that Chen Jun had never been sincere to her for even a moment.

Wang Yang took a deep breath. “Listen to me. That doesn’t matter anymore. All you need to know is that I’ll give you five million yuan as long as you manage to convince Qiao Nan. Besides, Chen Jun is your ex-husband. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you’re asking me about his affairs? I’m sorry, but I won’t tell you anything.”

Whether Qiao Zijin was lying to him, Wang Yang was never going to admit to anything. If he did, it would be impossible for him to reach a settlement with Qiao Nan out of court. In fact, it might even complicate matters even further.

He had only used Chen Jun as a playing piece so that he could inherit all of the Zhu family’s assets.
