Chapter 2287: I Hope Her Brain Stops Working

She had finally found a good partner with much difficulty, but her sister had snatched him away from her. What’s more, no one in the family had been on her side.

Probably no other woman in the world would ever be able to accept such a situation. In fact, they would probably never forget about it for their entire lives. Not only was this terribly painful, but it was also insulting. If Qiao Nan knew that someone had been behind all the suffering she had faced and that she would never have met Chen Jun or gotten hurt if not for Wang Yang, there was no way she would be willing to settle this matter amicably with Wang Yang. In fact, if she were in Qiao Nan’s place and knew that Wang Yang was the instigator behind everything, she would even rope the Zhai family in to get revenge for her. There was no way she would allow someone to bully her like that!

They were clearly enemies.

Li Yayan was helpless. “Dear, how could you think of such an idea? So, do you think that Qiao Zijin is lying to you or that Qiao Nan already knows about this? If Qiao Nan already knows the truth, it’ll be impossible for us to settle this matter even if we get the emperor over. Qiao Nan probably hates us!”

Who wouldn’t?

Wang Yang grabbed at his own hair, never having expected the matter to have gotten so complicated. Neither had he expected Zhu Chengqi to have come up with such a will even after they had kept such a close eye on him. “I’m not sure. Qiao Nan has never contacted me, so I’m not too sure about the situation either.”

“So, what should we do now?” Whether or not Qiao Zijin was lying to them, Wang Yang couldn’t afford to admit to what he had done. But if Qiao Zijin was telling the truth, they could only wait and go through the lawsuit against Qiao Nan. “Does the lawyer have any other ideas on how to resolve this matter? If we can’t take back everything, why don’t we settle for half?”

This seemed like the best solution at the moment. Getting back half of the Zhu family’s assets already seemed like a blessing.

“That’ll be difficult.” Wang Yang couldn’t resist lighting a cigarette. “I asked the lawyer and he said that it’ll still depend on how good our relationship is for us to get back even half of the Zhu family’s assets. It’ll depend on whether Qiao Nan is willing to give them to us.”

If they were to settle the case out of court, it would be Wang Yang’s decision over how much Qiao Nan got. In fact, if Qiao Nan hadn’t gotten married to Zhai Sheng, it would have been easy for Wang Yang to deal with Qiao Nan with his temper. He would have been able to settle the matter by hiring some people to scare her. But now that Qiao Nan was the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law, she had an even higher status than Wang Yang. That also meant that he couldn’t afford to deal with her in that way.

He couldn’t threaten Qiao Nan, and he would even have to see if Qiao Nan was willing to split half of the assets with him.

In the face of such a situation, Wang Yang was immensely resentful. Thinking about how Zhu Chengqi was the one who had brought so much trouble upon him, Wang Yang had the urge to disown Zhu Chengqi as his uncle. Anyway, it seemed to make no difference whether Zhu Chengqi was his uncle anymore. He wasn’t going to get a single cent from the Zhu family either way.

Li Yayan’s expression soured. “Is there really no other way? Shall we change a lawyer now?” Their current lawyer was incompetent. If they spent more money, they would surely find a more competent one. If they couldn’t get their hands on the Zhu family’s assets, her life in the Wang family was sure to be torturous.

“That won’t make any difference.” Wang Yang took a deep puff of his cigarette. “The Zhai family’s wealthier than us. If it’s easy for us to change a lawyer, think about how easy it’ll be for the Zhai family. Besides, I’ve already asked about it.”

No matter whom he hired, the Zhu family’s assets would eventually go to Qiao Nan as long as they proceeded with the lawsuit instead of settling out of court. There were some things that Wang Yang refused to mention, but that didn’t mean that he knew nothing about them.

He had wanted to apply to the court to freeze all of the Zhu family’s assets so that Qiao Nan wouldn’t be able to use them. The problem was that the court order dealt only with money. It had no control over the Zhu family’s connections. Besides, the Zhai family wasn’t in need of any money, and Zhai Sheng had much wider connections than him.

Even if he were to have all of the Zhu family’s connections in his grasp, Zhai Sheng wouldn’t be at a great loss. Qiao Nan wouldn’t be able to spend the Zhu family’s money if it was held up, but neither would he.

To be honest, Wang Yang was in a much worse state than Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng. In this matter, Wang Yang was the one who would lose the most. Seeing Wang Yang’s sunken-in face, Li Yayan was anxious, and yet, she didn’t know what to do. “Shall-shall we test Qiao Nan to see how she responds?”

There was no use of them guessing the situation here. What if they were only scaring themselves? The best result would be that Qiao Zijin was indeed lying to them. But… The thought of the worst-case scenario scared Li Yayan so much that she couldn’t even speak.

“Let me think about it.” Wang Yang was hesitant too. If he died early, he could be reincarnated early too. But he was afraid of the truth. He was fearful that he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

If Wang Yang lost this lawsuit, it wouldn’t just be a lawsuit that he would lose. It was his entire life. From a young age, Wang Yang had always strived to perform well in front of the Zhu family and suppress Zhu Baoguo so that Old Master Zhu and Zhu Chengqi would know that he was better than Zhu Baoguo.

Instead of handing the Zhu family’s assets over to Zhu Baoguo for him to squander them away, it was better to hand it over to him. He would be able to improve the Zhu family’s standing and increase their wealth. Over the past decades, he had worked under Zhu Chengqi in vain. Everything had gone to an outsider in the end. To the arrogant Wang Yang, it was an unacceptable situation.

“Wait a minute. Dear, didn’t you say that Qiao Zijin’s leaving the capital and that she threatened to get a bus ticket? Is that true?” Li Yayan was a woman too, and knowing about Qiao Nan’s relationship with Qiao Zijin, she truly felt that Qiao Zijin had a lower chance of succeeding as compared to her. The problem was that Li Yayan hadn’t been able to befriend Qiao Nan or visit the Zhai family up until today. Since she hadn’t been able to complete her mission, Li Yayan naturally wished that someone else could help Wang Yang out.

What if Qiao Nan’s brain really stopped working and she agreed to Qiao Zijin’s request?

If she allowed Qiao Zijin to leave, she would be the only one who would be able to work on Qiao Nan. It was too burdensome to be responsible for getting back the Zhu family’s assets alone.

Because of the will, her father-in-law had already been displeased with her.
