Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2286: Premonition

Since it was already so difficult, Li Yayan didn’t want to embarrass herself any further. She only wished that Qiao Zijin would be successful in helping Wang Yang solve this huge problem. Then, her life would definitely improve. Even without five million yuan, her family’s lives wouldn’t be too bad with her around.

With a brother-in-law like Wang Yang, Li Yayan felt that it wouldn’t be difficult for her brother to get a wife even if he didn’t have a house or a car. As such, she could afford to relax and not put so much pressure on herself.

Having come to that conclusion, Li Yayan put more of her hope in Qiao Zijin. She had already spent so much time and effort, but she had never even gotten a single cent out of Qiao Nan, let alone forged a close relationship with her. Li Yayan had no way of dealing with someone as nonchalant as Qiao Nan. After all, Li Yayan had no experience with dealing with someone like Qiao Nan in all her years of life.

As a result, Li Yayan could only bow her head and admit defeat.

“I guess something must have gone wrong.” Wang Yang was in a frenzy too, and he wanted someone to talk to. To be honest, Wang Yang had still been rather pleased with his wife, Li Yayan, over the years. At this moment, Li Yayan was the only choice he had. “Didn’t I mention to you that that old man wanted to acknowledge Qiao Nan as his goddaughter all those years back? I was afraid that Qiao Nan would snatch the Zhu family’s things from me, so I deliberately forced Qiao Nan into a situation so that that old man would hate her…”

“That’s why Zhu Chengqi gave up the idea of taking in Qiao Nan as his goddaughter?” She had already known that Zhu Chengqi had such an intention, but she had not known the reason as to why Zhu Chengqi hadn’t done so in the end. “So, what did you do that made Zhu Chengqi disappointed in Qiao Nan?”

In the past, Li Yayan might have believed that Wang Yang was able to defeat Zhu Chengqi. But now, Li Yayan had lost that confidence. If Zhu Chengqi had really been disappointed in Qiao Nan, they wouldn’t be in such a situation today. “Dear, I’m not trying to put you down. I’m just analyzing this objectively. Look how Zhu Chengqi specially drafted this will. Do you think that Zhu Chengqi already knew about this long ago?”

It was just that Zhu Chengqi had always pretended to be disappointed in Qiao Nan in front of Wang Yang to trick him so that Wang Yang would never try to do anything to hurt Qiao Nan again.

Wang Yang might not have realized that earlier, but with Li Yayan’s reminder, he seemed to have come to a realization. He slammed the table in anger. “That must be! I can’t believe I was fooled by that old foggy for so many years! That idiot treated me like a fool!”

He had always thought that he had succeeded. Who would have known that that old foggy had never taken his bait? Perhaps, every time he rejoiced over his successes, that old foggy had been looking on at him as if looking at a clown. At the thought of this possibility, Wang Yang had the urge to dig Zhu Chengqi’s ashes up to torture him.

Unfortunately, Zhu Chengqi had been cremated. Otherwise, Wang Yang would truly have done that to Zhu Chengqi’s corpse. He couldn’t understand how someone as hateful as Zhu Chengqi could exist.

Yes, he was a Wang. He wasn’t truly part of the Zhu family. But compared to Qiao Nan, he had the Zhu family’s blood flowing within him, at the very least. What did Qiao Nan have? Nothing at all! If Zhu Chengqi cared so much about how he was a Wang instead of a Zhu, he could change his surname at any time.

Now that the state had revised its laws and allowed for couples to have another child, he could always have another child with Li Yayan and let the child have the Zhu’s surname. Then, the Zhu family could always hand their assets over to that child since that child would be part of the Zhu family. Since there was such a way out of this whole situation, why hadn’t Zhu Chengqi discussed it with them? Why had he insisted on handing all of the Zhu family’s assets over to an outsider like Qiao Nan?”

“Don’t get upset…” Li Yayan was stunned too. If their suspicions were true, Li Yayan could finally understand why Zhu Chengqi had never acted abnormally even up until his death when both she and Wang Yang had kept a close eye on him, and yet, such a will had appeared after his death. It was because Zhu Chengqi had already prepared everything in advance. “Dear, what shall we do now? Why are you suddenly bringing this up now? Do you think Qiao Nan already knows about it? What shall we do next? Is it possible for us to settle this amicably with Qiao Nan?”

Wang Yang had not given her the details, so Li Yayan had no idea of the extent of what Wang Yang had done. Qiao Nan had already been difficult to convince as it was. Perhaps, something had really gone wrong. That was why Qiao Zijin had given up the five million yuan.

“Qiao Zijin said that Qiao Nan told her about this. But I wonder if Chen Jun let anything slip in front of Qiao Zijin in the past that arouse her suspicion. Perhaps, she’s using it to trick me today. Qiao Nan probably doesn’t know…”

So many years had passed since that incident. Even if they were to conduct an investigation now, they probably wouldn’t be able to find any evidence anyway. As such, Wang Yang didn’t think that Qiao Nan would know that he had arranged for Chen Jun to meet her at that time.

Li Yayan had a premonition. Before this, she had already known about the enmity between Chen Jun and the Qiao sisters. Now that Chen Jun had been brought into the picture, Li Yayan finally understood how serious the matter was. “Dear, don’t tell me that you were the one who arranged for Chen Jun to chase Qiao Nan? Was that why Chen Jun had gotten together with Qiao Nan?”

She had only known that Wang Yang had used some underhanded means to make Zhu Chengqi disappointed in Qiao Nan, but Wang Yang had never mentioned what he had done in detail, and neither had Li Yayan asked about it. Now, Li Yayan regretted not having asked about it earlier.

Wang Yang didn’t answer Li Yayan and it wasn’t hard for Li Yayan to guess the truth. After all, it was all as clear as day now. “Did you really do that? Does Qiao Nan know about it? If she does, it won’t matter whether Qiao Zijin or I approach Qiao Nan. Even if we get her biological parents here, Qiao Nan will never listen to them and call off the lawsuit.”

Li Yayan was a woman too, so she could imagine just how infuriated Qiao Nan would be upon learning about the truth. Qiao Nan had never been treated well in the Qiao family in the first place.
