As such, the plots beside the grave of Zhu Baoguo’s mother had all been reserved, one of which was for Old Li. Up until the moment she awoke, the other side of the grave had still been empty. That had been reserved by Zhu Chengqi for himself.

Walking ahead to the grave of Zhu Baoguo’s mother, Qiao Nan started weeping. Both sides of the grave had been filled. Old Li was on one side, while the gravestone on the other side displayed Zhu Baoguo’s young face. The space beside Zhu Baoguo was the space that had been left empty. Qiao Nan guessed that that was the space that Zhu Chengqi had left for himself.

Thinking about how that big boy had eventually married Shi Qing and had a son and had eventually matured in her dream, Qiao Nan’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Unfortunately, she had been the one to save Zhu Baoguo’s young life in her dream. In reality, time had not turned back when she opened her eyes. The heavens had not given her another chance to save this young life.

Qiao Nan bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of each of the three graves. “Although you may not have any memory or impression of me in this lifetime, I think that our fates are intertwined. I’m sorry that I’ve only come to visit you now. I hope that the three of you will be able to reunite with one another in another world. In reality, the one in greatest pain is the one who’s been left behind. If you have the chance, please try to appear in his dreams more often. It’s not easy for him either.”

Qiao Nan could not imagine how Zhu Chengqi, who had lost his only son after losing his beloved wife, felt. The Zhu family might be large, but there was no one who could let Zhu Chengqi feel the warmth of a family anymore. Wang Yang’s family did not treat Zhu Chengqi sincerely. Otherwise, Wang Yang would not have led Zhu Baoguo astray just because of his greed for the Zhu family’s assets. Neither would he have found people who accidentally killed Zhu Baoguo by mistake.

Qiao Nan wondered whether Zhu Chengqi would be able to accept the truth if he were to find out about it. However, Wang Yang, who had committed all those wrongdoings, had never gotten the punishment that he deserved. After killing Zhu Baoguo, he had even enjoyed everything that should have belonged to Zhu Baoguo. Qiao Nan could not help but feel injustice for Zhu Baoguo.

If not for Wang Yang, she would never have met a troublemaker like Chen Jun, who would go on to ruin her life. If she were to think about it in that way, it was true that she and Wang Yang were enemies in this life.

After placing her offerings and fresh flowers in front of the graves and wiping their photos, Qiao Nan finally left. “I’ll definitely come back to visit you when I get the chance.”

To Qiao Nan, Zhu Baoguo’s grave was not any ordinary grave. It was the pain of losing a close friend. Qiao Nan, who was a little depressed, left with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and her head hung low. Just as she left, she happened to brush shoulders with an old man in a black suit.

Unlike Qiao Nan, who continued walking forward with her head lowered, that old man stopped in his tracks and looked back at Qiao Nan. “Why is she here?” Had the news not said that she had already left Ping Cheng?

“Hurry up!” A car stopped right beside Qiao Nan in a hurry. The moment the passengers alighted from the car, they continually urged the other party to move faster and increase their speed. “Hurry up. We have to confirm whether uncle came here. If... There’s no if...”

“What’s the hurry?” The woman who alighted from the car had a head full of curls and lips thick with red lipstick. “Isn’t he just an old man? Where can he possibly go? Why do you have to be so anxious? Dear, I’m not trying to say anything about you, but you’re really too much of a scaredy-cat. Uncle doesn’t even have any other children. You’re the only relative he has left on this earth. His assets won’t run away. They’re all yours.”

All of the Zhu family’s assets belonged to them alone. Whether they came or not, the result would be the same. She could not understand why her husband was in such a hurry. She had not even been able to change into some decent clothes before leaving the house!

“Why do you know?” Wang Yang frowned and his lips were pursed tightly together. That old foggy, Zhu Chengqi, might seem to treat his nephew well and helped him with everything, but he knew that if Zhu Chengqi truly wanted to help his nephew, there was no way he would only have gotten this much.

He could not just look at things on the surface. Zhu Chengqi could give him much more than what anyone else expected. He was the only one by his uncle’s side. If his uncle did not treat him well, who would his uncle treat well?

He did not have such ridiculous and self-absorbed thoughts.

Thinking about how retarded Zhu Chengqi was for wanting to acknowledge a woman who had nothing to do with the Zhu family as his goddaughter, Wang Yang was infuriated. He was giving up a close nephew for a distant goddaughter! If he really acknowledged that woman as his goddaughter, there would be no place for Wang Yang in the Zhu family!

Thankfully, he was clear of his uncle’s temper and had gone a step ahead and gotten rid of that woman. Otherwise, even those little assets that slipped through his uncle’s fingers would never be his.

“Remember that my uncle hasn’t been in the best of health lately. The doctor told me that he can’t say for sure when he’ll pass away and that we have to be prepared for that to happen. Before he passes away, you’d better treat him well and coax him properly. As long as my uncle doesn’t get any weird ideas, all of the Zhu family’s assets will be mine. Then, I’ll buy you whatever you want, and I’ll be able to settle your brother’s matters for you too. On the contrary, even if you make my uncle unhappy, leading to the Zhu family having nothing to do with me anymore, I still have the Wang family. As for you, don’t forget why I married you in the first place. I have no need for useless things by my side. If that time comes, don’t blame me for being heartless and throwing you back to where you came from.”

Wang Yang spoke harshly, scaring that woman who had been extremely relaxed just moments earlier.

At this time, Qiao Nan was already long gone. Otherwise, she would have realized that this woman resembled her. The similarity was in the appearance, not the behavior.

“Darling, don’t get upset. Don’t bother about my brother. No one can save him. Don’t worry. I’ll perform well in front of that old man. I’ll definitely be able to make him happy. I promise you that I won’t be a burden.” Although the woman felt aggrieved, she dared not mention a thing about how she felt.

She had married someone of higher social status by marrying Wang Yang. When she found out that her existence was useful to Wang Yang, she had been rather fearless and did not feel that she could not match up to Wang Yang. She was clear that Zhu Chengqi was the key to her remaining in the Wang family. It had not been easy for her to get married into such a good family. If anything happened to her own family, the Wang family could always help them out. She had no intention of ever going back to her days of suffering and hearing her family nag at her.
