Besides, she had always heard w.a.n.g Yang talking about how capable and impressive Zhu Chengqi had been in his youth. Even now that he was old, no one had ever taken advantage of Zhu Chengqi. As such, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife was even more cautious. “Neither you nor I know whether that old man’s hearing is really bad. Only he has mentioned it. The old man just left and you made such a loud noise by slamming your chopsticks down. What if he heard it? What would he think of us? We’re living such miserable lives with that old man now. We’re still young and can’t possibly die before him.”

w.a.n.g Yang’s wife leisurely took a sip of her congee. “Today’s pain is tomorrow’s strength. He’s already on the verge of dying while we still have half our lives ahead of us. What’s the hurry?”

“That’s true.” w.a.n.g Yang calmed down. After working so hard for so many years, the day he had been waiting for was finally within reach. Indeed, he had to be more calm and tolerant. “I only got agitated and threw a tantrum because I saw that invitation.”

Seeing Zhai Sheng’s name was one thing, but seeing Qiao Nan’s was another, and her name made w.a.n.g Yang feel just the slightest bit guilty. No matter how good Zhai Sheng was, Zhu Chengqi had only talked about having a son like Zhai Sheng. On the other hand, if Qiao Nan could not be the Zhu family’s daughter, even being their daughter-in-law would be good. Qiao Nan held a higher standing in Zhu Chengqi’s heart as compared to Zhai Sheng.

There was no way Zhai Sheng could be Zhu Chengqi’s son. He cared for whatever the Zhai had, but Zhai Sheng did not really care for them. But Qiao Nan was different. Qiao Nan was just an old lady, and neither was she the Qiao family’s only daughter. w.a.n.g Yang was extremely unsettled by Zhu Chengqi’s satisfaction in Qiao Nan.

As such, the moment that he saw Qiao Nan’s name, w.a.n.g Yang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

w.a.n.g Yang’s wife had always heard of Qiao Nan, and that made her even more curious. “Do I really look like her?” w.a.n.g Yang had married her simply to coax that old man and prevent that old man from trying to get Qiao Nan to satisfy his desires. As such, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife really wanted to meet the real Qiao Nan to see how she looked like. Was Qiao Nan really that good that Zhu Chengqi would rather hand all of the Zhu family’s a.s.sets over to an outsider than care about his own nephew?

w.a.n.g Yang eyed his wife without answering him. She resembled her in terms of her appearance, but not her spirit. Anyone unfamiliar with them might mistake her for Qiao Nan, but no one would make that mistake upon a closer look. As for why Qiao Nan was so easily recognizable, w.a.n.g Yang was not sure either.

But w.a.n.g Yang thought that that was the reason why Zhu Chengqi cared so much about Qiao Nan. If Qiao Nan had no strengths at all, he would be infuriated for having lost to such an outsider.

“Why are you looking at me like this? That’s right. She’s getting married to Zhai Sheng. Why don’t you show me a photo of her to let me get to know her?” It was all right if he did not want to tell her anything. As long as he showed her a photo, she would naturally have an answer for herself. Initially, she had thought that once the old man was no longer around, she would be able to embarra.s.s Qiao Nan as w.a.n.g Yang’s wife. After giving Qiao Nan some benefits, she would then be able to settle all their accounts with Qiao Nan and have nothing to do with Qiao Nan from then on.

But she had never expected that a forty-year-old like Qiao Nan was getting married and was about to become the chief’s wife. Because of this, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife was a little upset since that meant that she would never be able to embarra.s.s Qiao Nan.

On the contrary, if they were to meet each other one day, she might even have to take advantage of resembling Qiao Nan, and she might even need to address Qiao Nan as her ‘elder sister’. If she was successful in doing that, she and w.a.n.g Yang might benefit greatly from that!

She thought about how she would have to suck up to Qiao Nan after finis.h.i.+ng with Zhu Chengqi and how this was never-ending. When would others try to suck up to her instead then?

w.a.n.g Yang had no idea what his wife was thinking. “You know that old man’s temper very well. I rescued your brother once, but I’m sure you know what will happen if the same thing happens a second time and the old man learns of it. If you really care about your brother, you’d better keep an eye on him. Otherwise, even though I’m his brother-in-law, I won’t be able to help him.”

At the mention of his brother-in-law, w.a.n.g Yang fell into a bad mood again. Apart from her face, this woman had not been useful to him at all. In fact, she had even dragged him down.

Upon receiving w.a.n.g Yang’s threatening glance, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife shrank her neck and answered in a soft voice, “Don’t worry. I’ve already talked to my parents. Before that old man dies, there won’t be another opportunity for him to create any trouble.” It was not just for her family. She was doing this for her own future.

w.a.n.g Yang might be able to marry a young and pretty lady if they were to get divorced, but she would definitely not be able to find a better man than w.a.n.g Yang. If her family wanted to lead comfortable lives, they would have to go along with whatever she asked and they would have to rein her brother in. If w.a.n.g Yang were to leave her, both she and her family would be at a loss.

Thankfully, although her brother might be a troublemaker, he was quite sensitive. Upon hearing that his brother-in-law had thrown a tantrum, he immediately distanced himself from those bad influences for fear of ruining his brother-in-law’s plans.

“Okay,” w.a.n.g Yang coldly said. Although his in-laws were not especially capable, at least, they listened well to him. Otherwise, he would never have married his wife even though she did have such a face. It was true that he did not want the old man to have a good impression of Qiao Nan, but he was not intentionally trying to use his wife to discredit Qiao Nan.

w.a.n.g Yang knew that if something were to happen, the problem would not be with Qiao Nan but his wife. w.a.n.g Yang could not afford to lose this person and this was his only requirement of his wife’s family.

“It’s about time. You should go to work.”

“Alright, keep an eye on the old man.” w.a.n.g Yang had limited days of leave. While he was around, he naturally spent his time ‘accompanying’ Zhu Chengqi. While he was not around, his wife hardly left Zhu Chengqi’s side either. The couple took turns to keep a close eye on Zhu Chengqi.

At times, his wife would question if he was overthinking it or if he was being overly sensitive. w.a.n.g Yang replied that he had grown up with his uncle and he was clearer than anyone else just how his uncle was.

It was exactly because his uncle was very calm that he felt uneasy. In the past, he had been young and had never been able to understand why he was in such a situation. He was clearly more sensible than Zhu Baoguo and was even smarter than Zhu Baoguo!
