Apart from using the Zhu family’s money for good deeds, Qiao Nan never interfered in the Zhu family’s other assets. Instead, she found others to manage them for her.
She was afraid that she would be unable to control her emotions if she were to manage them herself.
Wang Yang wanted to settle down in the capital, but after Zhu Chengqi’s death, it was no longer so easy for Wang Yang to survive in the capital without Zhu Chengqi’s help.
Some time ago, Wang Yang had already fallen out with the Wang family.
With that little sum of money in his hands, Wang Yang had already bought himself another villa in Ping Cheng for all three generations of his family. As for the Wang family’s old villa, he had already made himself clear that he had no intention of taking ownership of it. His dad could have it to pay for his old age. Even if he returned to Ping Cheng to develop his career, he would never try to appear in front of the Wang family, much less live in the Wang family’s old villa.
Not only was his villa large and spacious, but more importantly, it was also new! Gifts blinded the eyes. Since he was living on his own, the Wang family would never be able to do anything to him no matter how dissatisfied they were with him.
It was true that Zhu Chengqi was no longer around, but he still had everything that Zhu Chengqi had given to him before his death. No matter how much the Wang family hated him, they would never have the ability to deal with him. Besides, could they even do anything to him? After all, he was the most outstanding person in the whole Wang family. It was good enough that he was not making the Wang family’s lives difficult on the accounts that they had once been relatives.
It wouldn’t be so easy for the Wang family to do anything to Wang Yang.
Because of the Zhu family’s assets, the Wang family had been displeased with Qiao Nan and wanted to threaten Qiao Nan using the Qiao family so that they would get some benefits out of her. But Wang Yang had not even managed to get a single cent of the Zhu family’s assets with his status and position. Did his poor relatives think that they would succeed?
If they really won against that wretched girl, Qiao Nan, their children would definitely reach Wang Yang’s level, at the very least. Qiao Nan was truly outstanding now, but there was no way she would be able to leave the Qiao family in the lurch or not acknowledge them in the least bit.
The Wang family had put all of their hopes and dreams on Qiao Nan and had not analyzed the situation rationally at all.
The Wang family had not done much against Wang Yang, and yet, Wang Yang had chosen to sever all ties between them all the same without any hesitation.
On the other hand, however, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had indeed wronged Qiao Nan time and time again. If not for Qiao Nan’s good fortune and persistence, anyone in her situation would have gone crazy given these two women’s treatment toward Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan only had her own persistence to thank for the blissful life she was enjoying now.
It was not incomprehensible for Qiao Nan to be unwilling to care about the Qiao family now. Could it possibly be harder to understand than how Wang Yang had severed his ties with the Wang family?
Besides, Qiao Nan was no longer the same Qiao Nan of the past. Because she had married Zhai Sheng, she had become the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family, basically a chief’s wife. Anyone with a sound mind would know not to offend or provoke Qiao Nan. They would simply be depressed about how they had no relations to the Qiao family. Otherwise, they would have been able to use Qiao Nan to take advantage of the Zhai family.
Provoking Qiao Nan was no different from courting death.
But the Wang family was outrageously bold and seemed to be willing to go all the way with everything they did. As such, one could only imagine what had resulted from those actions. They had simply dug their own graves.
Qiao Nan hadn’t dealt with Qiao Zijin or Ding Jiayi even with what they had done to her in the past. But it wouldn’t be so easy for anyone else to target Qiao Nan.
Zhai Sheng had connections in Ping Cheng, and Zhai Hua lived in Ping Cheng too.
After Qiao Dongliang moved out, Qiao Zijin had always been living in the quad with Ding Jiayi. As such, the Wang family did not have many opportunities to deal with this pair of mother and daughter. Qiao Zijin had no intention of leaving the house because she knew that she would definitely spend money once she left the house. Once she started spending, there would be no end to it. Ding Jiayi, on the other hand, had never been fond of going out apart from going to get groceries from the market.
The mother and daughter stayed home all day, while the people whom the Wang family hired had no way of entering the quad. Even the northern quad was difficult to enter, much less the southern quad. The people hired by the Wang family kept surveillance on Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi for several days, but they had not even gotten the slightest chance of striking.
After all, Ding Jiayi only left the house in broad daylight. There were plenty of pedestrians on the streets at that time of the day, especially in the market where Ding Jiayi always visited. If they were to do anything to Ding Jiayi there and then, onlookers in the market would definitely call the police on them straightaway.
Then, they would probably be caught within meters of Ding Jiayi!
Everyone loved money, but not many were willing to go to jail just for the sake of earning some money. At least, the people hired by the Wang family had no interest in getting free meals from the government in this way. Even if they wanted to strike, they had to find a perfect time to do so.
As the Wang family was waiting for this perfect opportunity to strike, Zhai Sheng had found out about their plans and had also arranged some events for the Wang family ahead of time, since they had been so free and bored to have thought of targeting Qiao Nan.
It was truly too difficult for the Wang family to climb up the ladder. On the contrary, they had no ability to resist being kicked down by someone above them, especially by someone like Zhai Sheng.
In the government sector, there were too many boats chasing too few fish. People could only have the chance to rise up the ladder when others got kicked down.
The Wang family had already been rather corrupted from Old Master Wang’s generation. Otherwise, how could the Wang family have been able to solve the matter of Zhu Baoguo’s death so smoothly given their weak foundations?
How had the Wang family gotten their money? It was obvious that they had gotten it through some illegal means. It was exactly because the Wang family did not have such a good family background that Father Wang had to marry Mother Zhu using all means necessary. This was not too different from what Qiu Qin had done with Qi Minlan.
Such situations of marrying up didn’t just happen in the business world but also in the political scene.
The Wang family had never been too clean in their handlings. It was just that no one had tried to catch a chink in their armor. After all, it was inevitable for everyone to be exposed to such dealings from time to time in this political circle. It was hardly serious enough to force one out of the circle.. Otherwise, no one would be foolish enough to let others catch this chink in their armor.
