Upon thinking of Li Yayan’s face, how would Qiao Nan believe the nonsense that Wang Yang married Li Yayan purely because of love and nothing else unless she was a fool?
Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan. “Why are you back so soon? Why didn’t you spend more time outside?” Miao Jing was pretty happy that Qiao Nan could make some friends in school with whom she could go shopping together. Initially, she was still worried that Qiao Nan didn’t have her own social circle and would feel lonely and helpless in the big capital. She didn’t expect that in just a few days, Qiao Nan used practical actions to tell her that her worries were unnecessary. “Actually, with the three of us around at home, you don’t have to be too worried about the triplets. The triplets would cling to you when they are sleeping at night and would cry if they didn’t see you. Other than that, they are still quite easy to coax in the day.”
Qiao Nan washed her hands, and the first thing she did was to naturally hug her daughter. “It’s nothing. Shopping makes my feet sore. Furthermore, that person has already bought her things and I’m not lacking anything.” If she continued to shop with Li Yayan, Li Yayan might tell her explicitly to give up on the Zhu family’s inheritance.
The price to pay for shopping with Li Yayan was huge.
“Nan Nan, did you make new friends in school? How is it? When do you want to bring this friend over to our house so that we can get to know each other?” Her son didn’t spend as much time at home as an ordinary husband. It was good if there was another friend around Nan Nan to kill time together.
She couldn’t possibly let Nan Nan be like what they said. If she only took care of the elderly or children when she was free, Nan Nan would seem like she was an auntie that the Zhai family hired.
Qiao Nan knew that Miao Jing was thinking for her. After thinking for a while, Qiao Nan decided to explain the situation to Miao Jing. What if Li Yayan used her identity as her friend to come over to the Zhai family when she wasn’t around and was received by the Zhai family? Such behavior was very dangerous.
“Mom, do you remember that I asked you if you know a woman named Li Yayan a few days ago?”
“Yes. Could it be that Zhai Sheng couldn’t find out either?”
Qiao Nan touched her daughter’s hand. “Brother Zhai didn’t check on her. It was just that when he heard this woman’s name, he immediately told me that she was Wang Yang’s wife. Mom, you probably don’t know this, but Li Yayan’s face looks a little like mine. I heard that when Wang Yang married this wife, it was around the same time when Brother Zhai married me. Nobody expected this. Li Yayan’s family conditions aren’t compatible with the Wang family. However, Wang Yang overcame all odds and married Li Yayan. Before Chief Zhu left, Li Yayan and Wang Yang had been taking care of him.”
“…” Miao Jing’s face changed rapidly. “Nan Nan, is what you said true?”
“Yes. Brother Zhai told me.”
Miao Jing’s face became pale and the hand she placed on her thigh was clenched into a fist. “If Zhai Sheng found out about this, then it must be right. What is Wang Yang’s motive for marrying such a woman as his wife? Nan Nan, have you seen Wang Yang before?”
Miao Jing knew that Zhu Chengqi liked Qiao Nan and wanted to acknowledge her as his goddaughter. She also knew that before Zhu Chengqi passed away, he made a will to leave everything in the Zhu family to Qiao Nan, who was completely unrelated to the Zhu family.
With this major premise, people couldn’t help but suspect Wang Yang’s motive for marrying Li Yayan. Obviously, Miao Jing was worried that Wang Yang had hit on Qiao Nan before and had some thoughts about her.
Qiao Nan smiled. “Mom, although having money is good, Wang Yang is a specially privileged person. He has his pride and self-esteem. It’s obvious that he doesn’t like women older than him.” Wang Yang did send Chen Jun over to seduce her so that he could destroy her image in Zhu Chengqi’s heart. However, Wang Yang never planned to use a honey trap personally to coax her.
“That’s good.” Miao Jing first heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she became angry. It was as if the person Wang Yang despised was her biological daughter. “Bah! How good is this? What taste does Wang Yang have? He’s so ambitious and wants to swallow the entire Zhu family. He obviously knows that he’s not capable enough but still dares to be so high-profile. A person like him who always wants to rely on others won’t be successful in life in this lifetime!”
Wang Yang didn’t fancy Nan Nan? Wang Yang was much worse than Zhai Sheng and couldn’t compete with him to marry Nan Nan.
“Mom, don’t be angry.” Qiao Nan poured a glass of water for Miao Jing and comforted her. “As long as we know what kind of person Wang Yang is, it’s fine. Li Yayan is Wang Yang’s wife. Wang Yang should be the one who asked her to befriend me. As for her motive, it would undoubtedly be the inheritance that Chief Zhu left behind for me. When we were shopping today, she even asked me to do business together with her. I rejected her.”
“It’s good that you rejected her. Nan Nan, you’re smart.” Miao Jing patted Qiao Nan’s hand and was very supportive of her decision. “Nan Nan, since you already know who Li Yayan is, why did you still go shopping with her?” She wasn’t someone good. Rather than wasting time on such a person, it would be better for her to find a real friend.
Zhai Yaohui disagreed with Miao Jing’s attitude. “What’s there to be afraid of? Why should Qiao Nan avoid her? They are the ones with dirty thoughts. We are open and upright. If they aren’t afraid, why should we avoid them? What Qiao Nan did was correct. Qiao Nan knows who Li Yayan is. However, she might not know that her identity has been exposed. This is the capital. If Wang Yang wants to do anything to Qiao Nan in the capital, that would be putting the entire Wang family at risk.”
Zhai Yaohui was only short of saying that if Wang Yang dared to do anything against the law, even if Zhu Chengqi was still alive, he wouldn’t let Wang Yang off on account of Zhu Chengqi, let alone now that Zhu Chengqi was dead. Not only was he not going to let Wang Yang off, but he would be teaching him a good lesson.
A person who went to jail would have a stain in their political career. From then on, Wang Yang didn’t need to think of stepping into the political circle again in this lifetime. He would just be an ordinary person.
Initially, everyone knew why the Wei family’s father worked so hard to marry the Zhu family’s daughter. Love? How laughable. It was also because there was such a clear example before them that Zhai Yaohui was particularly unwilling for Zhai Hua to marry Wei De back then.
The precious daughter whom they had pampered was taken away by a scheming wolf. They obviously knew that this wolf was up to no good and only wanted to make use of their daughter. Would they still watch as their daughter was being treated like a fool? After seeing such a thing happened to the Zhu family, Zhai Yaohui wasn’t willing to do so.
