Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?!” Father Wang was infuriated. He understood his own son. He couldn’t have been more explicit with his intentions. Wang Yang should have understood him perfectly well. Besides, Wang Yang was no stranger to this. He should deal with Qiao Nan exactly how he had with Zhu Baoguo.

Wang Yang had already shirked the responsibility of Zhu Baoguo’s death. Even if he couldn’t avoid punishment for Qiao Nan’s matter, Wang Yang wouldn’t be at a loss. After all, he would have gotten rid of both inheritors of the Zhu family’s assets and would make a fortune from it. Wang Yang had a son, who was his only grandson.

Since Wang Yang had made a sacrifice for the Wang family, no one in the Wang family would dare to object to him dedicating more resources to his grandson. After all, he had sacrificed his son to bring the Wang family to what they were today. As such, Father Wang was clear that he would have the greatest say in the Wang family once Wang Yang gave his life for the Wang family. He would be the master over the entire Wang family!

He hadn’t been able to do so while his dad had still been alive, but he would definitely achieve it because of his son, Wang Yang.

Wang Yang took a sip of tea to calm down. “I heard you.”

“That’s good. Hurry and get it done then. The Zhai family must be overjoyed because you dropped the lawsuit.” Even their family would rejoice if they were to chance upon such a windfall. “The Zhai family must have lowered their guards now. It’s the best time for you to deal with Qiao Nan now! Remember that you have only one chance. You’d better plan carefully and succeed on your first try. Don’t worry. You’re my son and I have only one grandson. I can assure you that the greatest benefactor of this all will be our family and my grandson. Others can only ride on our laurels.”

“Wang Yang, you’re a dad too. I’m sure you want the best for your son, just like me. If I had the choice, I wouldn’t let you take such a great risk. No one can stand the pain of sending off someone younger than them. But at critical moments like this, we must be decisive and determined. We’re doing everything for the sake of our future generations. Your son will definitely have whatever you didn’t!” No matter what, that sum of money would end up in their pockets. They would not be at a loss no matter what. It was worth it for Wang Yang to take that risk.

Wang Yang felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to his dad’s words. His dad was already making him a slave to the Wang family so that the Wang family could live comfortably while he was still alive. How could he possibly count on his father to be dedicated to his son’s success once he was dead?

To put it bluntly, it would be a struggle for his dad to live for any more than another few years.

Wang Yang dared not trust anyone else to raise his son. No one else would love his son and be willing to make sacrifices for his son like him.

“Dad, are you done?”

“Yes, hurry and settle it.” Talk wasn’t important. Actions were.

“Oh,” Wang Yang replied indifferently. “Dad, I understood everything you said.”

“That’s good. When are you going to give me a satisfactory result?” He had to see the results urgently. His whole family was waiting for him! It didn’t feel good having his brothers eye him with suspicion and criticism. What he enjoyed were the Wang family’s respect and admiration.

Wang Yang put down his teacup. “I’ll never be able to give you a satisfactory answer. Dad, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to enjoy your life. My son is still young and mischievous. Sometimes, even I can’t handle him well. How could I put such a heavy burden on you? That would be too unfilial of me. Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, you’ll never need to worry about my son.”

Father Wang could sense that something was amiss. “What do you mean? Are you—”

“Dad, I think I’ve made myself pretty clear. I can’t do any of those things you said. I’m not young anymore. I can’t bear to leave my wife alone, much less let my son lose his father at such a young age. I can’t trust anyone to raise my son. Besides, I don’t just have a dad. I have a mom too. I can’t possibly think of giving up my life just because of you and forget about my mom. Dad, you’d better get someone else to settle this matter for you. I can’t do it.”

Wang Yang had never liked Qiao Nan. If not for the special situation that Mother Zhu was in, Wang Yang would never have dropped the lawsuit even if he knew the true reason behind Zhu Chengqi’s will. Yes, he had caused Zhu Baoguo’s death. But so what if Zhu Chengqi had known about it?

Had he not been afraid when he had done that at such a young age? He had endured so much hardship and paid a price for Zhu Baoguo’s death. Wasn’t it only right for him to get remuneration for that? His uncle, Zhu Chengqi, had never been sincere toward him anyway. So, there was no need for him to respect Zhu Chengqi’s will. He would fight for what was rightfully his.

While Wang Yang could choose to ignore Zhu Chengqi, he could not afford to ignore his mother. He knew that his mother’s anger would not dissipate even if he passed away. In fact, she would even lose all will to live. He could not possibly give up his life just for his father’s sake, but he was willing to live well for his mother’s sake. Compared to his father, Wang Yang cared much more about his mother.

Whether or not Wang Yang had been close to his father in the past, Wang Yang was now closer to his mother because he had seen through his father’s true intentions.

“Dad, I think that I was even more direct than you were. You can do whatever you want. I’ve already chosen to withdraw from this battle, so I won’t be so shameless as to demand to share the spoils if you succeed. As your son, I’ll definitely hope that you’ll succeed. I’ll congratulate you in advance.”

With that, Wang Yang hung up.

“Good, good. I really raised a good son. He’s using everything I taught him against me now!” Father Wang was infuriated and smashed the phone.

Hearing Wang Yang sounding so dignified, Father Wang was clear that Wang Yang would never try to ride on their laurels even if they were to succeed.
