Chapter 2349 - A Good Son (2)

But he was a fool for not wanting to ride on the laurels of others.

It didn't matter if others said anything about them. What could matter more than one's own interests?

But now that w.a.n.g Yang had already made his stance clear, Father w.a.n.g had lost the ability to force w.a.n.g Yang to do anything. In the past, he had not needed to work for him to reap the benefits. But now, Father w.a.n.g was furious at being schemed against by his own son. Before this, he had always thought that his son had always been obedient to him. There was no way w.a.n.g Yang would have ever rebelled against him.

But here they were. w.a.n.g Yang had given up on the matter and had directly asked Father w.a.n.g to look for someone else to deal with it. With no reason to hold on, Father w.a.n.g was angered so much so that he had been admitted into the hospital. There, the doctors diagnosed Father w.a.n.g with a stroke from excessive anger. There was no way of recuperating completely, but as long as his family members took care of him well, Father w.a.n.g's condition would not be completely disastrous as compared to other patients.

w.a.n.g Yang had remained silent for a long while after receiving the news. He had not discussed the matter with Li Yayan and had instead gone to his mother. Mother Zhu was still disappointed in w.a.n.g Yang, but the moment she knew that Father w.a.n.g had intended on sacrificing w.a.n.g Yang for the sake of the entire w.a.n.g family and had been hospitalized as a result, Mother Zhu replied, "It's true that you're the main reason your dad's in his current state. But I know your dad's temper well. He'll probably wish that he didn't have a son like you and he'll refuse to see you now."

No matter how much Father w.a.n.g had been proud of his son, w.a.n.g Yang, in the past, w.a.n.g Yang had immediately turned from a good son to a bad one once he refused to listen to his father. In Father w.a.n.g's eyes, the line between good and bad was this superficial.

"It's not that we don't want to take care of your dad. But given his feelings now, your dad will only get angry every time he sees you. In that case, his condition might just get from bad to worse. Won't we be harming him then? What has the w.a.n.g family said? Has anyone agreed to take care of your dad?"

Hadn't he been dedicated to the w.a.n.g family and had even planned on sending his own son to death for their sakes? She wanted to see whether the w.a.n.g family had any conscience. After all, he had brought all this upon himself.

w.a.n.g Yang laughed. "There's no one with a conscience in the w.a.n.g family." He was a w.a.n.g too, and even he was a selfish man. If not for his mom, he would never have cared about Zhu Chengqi's wishes. He would have fought Qiao Nan to death to get the Zhu family's a.s.sets. No matter what, he would definitely have made life difficult for Qiao Nan.

"That's true." Mother Zhu laughed in agreement. "The most ridiculous thing is that your dad probably knew of this as well. But he still thought that he could be the emperor of the w.a.n.g family and have a firm hold over that position. It's fine if no one from the w.a.n.g family is willing to take care of your dad. There are old folks' homes in Ping Cheng. If your dad's willing to stay there, we'll send him there. Otherwise, we have s.p.a.ce in our house. We can just spend some money to hire a caretaker for him."

In short, they were never going to bring Father w.a.n.g over to the capital.

w.a.n.g Yang nodded. That was what he had thought of too. Now that his father's position in the w.a.n.g family was threatened, his dad would only get angry every time he saw his son. It was better for them to live separately so that he wouldn't anger his dad. That was the least he could do as a filial son.

There was no way the w.a.n.g family could keep such family matters under wraps, especially from Zhai Sheng. He had already gotten someone to investigate this matter and had even gotten them to compile the w.a.n.g family's att.i.tudes and words toward the lawsuit into a doc.u.ment for Qiao Nan.

After reading through the doc.u.ment, Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. "Hehehe. I've finally understood how w.a.n.g Yang was raised. It would be really amazing if w.a.n.g Yang had grown up moral and just in such an environment. Have the w.a.n.g family come to a consensus about how to deal with me?"

It was a lawful society they were living in and she was no longer a n.o.body in society who could do nothing but cry now if she were to be bullied by the w.a.n.g family.

Zhai Sheng hugged Qiao Nan, scorning the w.a.n.g family. "Who doesn't want to take advantage of others? But not everyone is willing to take that risk." The greater the benefits, the greater the risk. It was a directly proportional relations.h.i.+p.

Everyone liked enjoying benefits, but the w.a.n.g family did not have the guts to put their lives and fortune up at stake. Earlier on, w.a.n.g Yang had been the vanguard of the w.a.n.g family and would always take the lead to solve all of their problems.

Now, w.a.n.g Yang was no longer willing to cooperate with them. As such, the previously united w.a.n.g family crumbled in a moment and there was no one who dared to step forward.

From this angle, w.a.n.g Yang was indeed the bravest and ambitious of the w.a.n.g family. The rest of the w.a.n.g family only dreamed of such situations but had no guts to go through with them.

Of course, no one in the w.a.n.g family was willing to sacrifice their lives to better the lives of others. As such, the atmosphere in the w.a.n.g family had changed drastically as soon as w.a.n.g Yang stopped interfering in their matters. It was because they had been used to w.a.n.g Yang taking the front line that they had taken him for granted and gotten used to simply reaping the benefits.

"The w.a.n.g family doesn't hold influence in the capital. I'm not really worried about them trying to deal with people in Ping Cheng either. We've already got our eyes on the w.a.n.g family. No matter whom they target, they'll pay for it." In short, the w.a.n.g family wasn't all that impressive. If they dared to challenge the law, they would definitely be punished!

Qiao Nan was shocked that the w.a.n.g family had made such a plan.

Zhai Sheng kissed Qiao Nan on the forehead. "That's true. Don't worry. They won't dare to do anything." It wasn't that Zhai Sheng looked down on the w.a.n.g family, but the only one with the slightest capability was w.a.n.g Yang. Since w.a.n.g Yang had already given up, it wouldn't be easy for the w.a.n.g family to do anything.. Now, the w.a.n.g family was truly in a mess.
