Fools had better not even think about committing any crimes, much less doing it!

Qiao Nan felt exceptionally safe in Zhai Sheng’s embrace. With her man propping up her world for her, there was no longer the need for her to worry about everything as she had done before. All she had to do was to remain under Zhai Sheng’s wings.

It was abnormally difficult for the Wang family to do anything against Qiao Nan. The Wang family was not Wang Yang, who had been in the capital for more than a year and had gained connections and a house in the capital because of Zhu Chengqi. Wang Yang still had a way of dealing with Qiao Nan if he tried.

But apart from Wang Yang, it was difficult for anyone else in the Wang family to establish themselves in the capital. They had neither money nor connections. Even though they had slight influence in Ping Cheng, they were not spared of the difficulties that the Beijing drifters were subject to once they were in the capital.

Knowing that that was the case, the Wang family was not so foolish as to choose that path of suffering for themselves. If going to the capital wouldn’t work, they still had a way out in Ping Cheng. After all, Ping Cheng was their hometown. It was true that Qiao Nan was in the capital, but her family was not dead. From what they knew, Qiao Nan’s parents were still alive, and she still had an elder sister.

As for the relationship between the family of four, that was beyond the concern of the Wang family. No matter how bad their relationship was, they were still a family. There was no way Qiao Nan could stand by and not do anything if their lives were being threatened.

Of course, threatening Qiao Nan with the Qiao family was not as good as threatening Zhai Sheng with Qiao Nan. But something was always better than nothing. It was much better than seeing the entire Zhu family’s fortune become Qiao Nan’s alone. It would be good as long as they could get something back. Then, the Wang family would undoubtedly be able to raise a second or third ‘Wang Yang’ so that Wang Yang wouldn’t think that he was the most brilliant and promising amongst the Wang family and look down on them.

In the past, Wang Yang might have been a good nephew to the Wang family. But after he had withdrawn the lawsuit and enjoyed the benefits he had reaped from Zhu Chengqi without helping the rest of the Wang family, they had branded him as an ingrate and were no longer willing to give Wang Yang a second chance.

Once they succeeded, they would not hesitate to chase Wang Yang out of the Wang family if he dared to change his mind and try to get close to the Wang family. From now on, Wang Yang was no longer part of the Wang family, and neither did they have anything to do with him!

The Wang family had truly been enraged. All these years, Wang Yang hadn’t even cared about his own parents just for the sake of gaining Zhu Chengqi’s favor. Given Zhu Chengqi’s position and status, Wang Yang could have made a fortune as long as Zhu Chengqi had given him even just a fraction of his assets.

Aside from the will, the Wang family knew that Zhu Chengqi had treated his nephew rather well. It was because of Zhu Chengqi’s attitude toward Wang Yang that the Wang family had misplaced their trust in Wang Yang, believing that Wang Yang would definitely bring the Wang family to greater heights after he inherited all of the Zhu family’s assets after Zhu Chengqi’s death. Then, the Wang family would become the second Zhu family.

But now, Wang Yang had become the most promising person in the Wang family with some help from Zhu Chengqi. He had reaped some benefits from staying by Zhu Chengqi’s side, but what was the rest of them to do now that the Zhu family’s assets had nothing to do with the Wang family?

Even though Wang Yang was indeed the most promising amongst them, he was reluctant to help the Wang family in any way. Besides, Wang Yang had clearly stated his intention to settle down in the capital. Unless he had the need to work with the Wang family, they were simply relatives at the very most. Wang Yang would never sacrifice his own interests to benefit his relatives in the Wang family.

If they remained in contact, they could perhaps get closer. This was Wang Yang’s limit for the Wang family.

Because of Wang Yang’s attitude, the Wang family had been upset. If Wang Yang had inherited the Zhu family’s assets, it would very well have been theirs. With those assets, they would have been able to rise to a position that Wang Yang was in, or even higher.

But now, that was gone! And Wang Yang was only willing to remain in contact with them if it was beneficial to him too. The Wang family was helpless. Wang Yang alone had gleaned benefits from Zhu Chengqi while they could only look on and see just how glorious Wang Yang’s life was. Apart from envy, there was nothing they could do.

How could this happen?

Everyone from the Wang family pretty much shared the same thoughts. None of them could stand the fact that Wang Yang had gotten all of those advantages. Since Wang Yang wasn’t going to be of any help to them, they would have to find a way to save themselves.

After berating Wang Yang in their hearts, the Wang family came to a consensus. If they were to succeed in their plan, they were never going to agree to Wang Yang’s request to become their relatives again in the future. Wang Yang had abandoned them in their time of need. There was no way they were going to allow Wang Yang to acknowledge them as relatives once they made a name for themselves.

Since Wang Yang was drawing lines with them now, there was nothing wrong in them doing the same toward him. There would eventually come a day when Wang Yang would regret his decision. As for the money that the Wang family had wasted on protecting Wang Yang, they would simply treat it as though they had spent the money feeding dogs or an ingrate.

It went without saying that Wang Yang’s betrayal led to Father Wang’s downfall in the Wang family. The Wang family turned against him, and even Father Wang’s brothers treated him with that attitude too. Wang Yang had gotten all the benefits but had spent the Wang family’s money and resources while clinging on to his uncle, Zhu Chengqi. Not only was he not grateful toward the Wang family, but he was not even willing to acknowledge his poor relatives now that he had made a fortune for himself. He was an ingrate!

Father Wang was the one who had raised such an unfilial son. It was entirely Father Wang’s fault that the Wang family had taken such a great hit this time. As such, Father Wang had better not even dream of becoming the head of the household. It was good enough that they were willing to overlook how they had suffered a loss. Because of this, Father Wang had lost all rights to participate in any family discussions in the future.

Since Wang Yang refused to acknowledge them, they would keep their distance too.
