Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2326: Getting Angry For Nothing (3)

Were they intending on leaving him behind for her to raise him? Or was he following his parents to the capital?

Initially, Li Yayan had not understood her mother-in-law, Mother Zhu. But as time passed, Li Yayan gradually started to understand Mother Zhu’s thoughts. Her son rarely had the chance to visit the Zhu family, but her son recognized his great-uncle, Zhu Chengqi, through photos. Based on that, it was not difficult to understand that Mother Zhu hoped for her grandson to get close to Zhu Chengqi, letting him play with Zhu Chengqi.

At that time, Li Yayan had thought that it would be good if that were the case.

After all, she had been taking care of Zhu Chengqi with Wang Yang for a few years. During that time, Zhu Chengqi had been lukewarm toward them. But there was no way he would be able to remain so indifferent to a cheerful and upbeat little child. While both she and Wang Yang had started to take care of Zhu Chengqi because of their own motives, her son had not.

That would be a great opportunity for them!

If her son could grow up by Zhu Chengqi’s side, it would fine if Zhu Chengqi decided to give all his assets to her son instead of Wang Yang. After all, her son was still young and needed a guardian. If the Zhu family’s assets were to go to her son, Wang Yang would be able to use it all the same. She thought that her son would be able to curry the favor of Zhu Chengqi more easily than them, and the plan would be a success.

But her father-in-law refused to use such a brilliant strategy.

She knew that her mother-in-law had thought of doing so but had eventually changed her mind because of her father-in-law’s influence. Because of this, Li Yayan had honestly been resentful toward her father-in-law.

Because of the will, Father Wang had scolded Wang Yang for refusing to marry Qiao Nan even when he had known that Zhu Chengqi cared about Qiao Nan and had intended to acknowledge her as his goddaughter. If he had done so, it wouldn’t have mattered what kind of will Zhu Chengqi left behind.

What was the point of finding a woman who looked like Qiao Nan? A daughter-in-law like Li Yayan was completely useless to the Wang family.

Could Li Yayan possibly not be resentful upon hearing that? She did not think that she was lacking in any way, nor did she think that Wang Yang had made a mistake by marrying her. It was true that she had not been able to help Wang Yang much in Zhu Chengqi’s matter. The problem was that she had already given birth to a lovely son. It was just that her father-in-law was reluctant to send her son over to Zhu Chengqi’s side.

Anyway, Zhu Chengqi had never had much interaction with Qiao Nan. The difference was that her son could have grown up by Zhu Chengqi’s side. She believed that Zhu Chengqi wouldn’t have been so heartless toward her adorable son.

It was only because her father-in-law ridiculed Zhu Chengqi for having no sons or grandsons by his side even though he held a high position that he refused to allow her son to be by Zhu Chengqi’s side. Her father-in-law had never been able to beat Zhu Chengqi his whole life, but being a grandfather was something that Zhu Chengqi could never have.

What did they mean by successful people didn’t care about the minute details? When men got petty, they were often much more extreme than women. Just because he had wanted to show his grandson off to Zhu Chengqi, they had wasted a perfect opportunity. And now, her father-in-law had the guts to push the blame to her and Wang Yang! Li Yayan was infuriated.

But Father Wang had the final say in the Wang family, so Li Yayan had never dared to pin the blame on him even though she knew that he was in the wrong. If nothing else, it was because Wang Yang had always stood on his father’s side no matter how badly his father berated him. Because of Wang Yang’s attitude, Li Yayan had not dared to stir up any animosity between Wang Yang and his father.

Thankfully, Li Yayan felt that her chance had finally come. Leaving her mother-in-law aside, it seemed like it would no longer be so difficult to deal with her father-in-law. “Of course, I won’t object. I know that Mom loves our son dearly. Mom has spent so much time and effort raising our son. In fact, we can’t even compare to her in that aspect. You know that I’m like a young child sometimes. If I have to take care of our son alone, I’m afraid that something might happen. It would be great if Mom could come to the capital to help me out.”

As long as her mother-in-law got away from her father-in-law, she felt that her mother-in-law would definitely be more ‘normal’.

“But dear, you only mentioned Mom. What about Dad?” This time, Wang Yang was truly furious at her father-in-law. But was he really going to disown him? If that was the case, Li Yayan thought that it was his karma!

She had always thought that Wang Yang was truly filial to his father. Not only had Wang Yang excelled in school, but he had even done well in his career with some help from Zhu Chengqi. But he had never once been praised by her father-in-law. In fact, her father-in-law always lectured him for not being good enough.

She thought about her own family. Her younger brother was useless. He had floated through school and was just getting by now. He had depended on his sister to get his job and even relied on his parents to give him money to get a wife. He could afford to do nothing at all and relax while his family members arranged everything for him. Her younger brother was so useless, and yet, he dared to throw tantrums in front of their parents, complaining that they didn’t give him enough money and that he wasn’t a civil servant. He did not even need to work hard to get a pretty wife. If he couldn’t get a wife, it was entirely his parents’ fault for not providing for him.

Even so, her younger brother lived like an emperor in her family. On the other hand, Wang Yang was like an ox in the Wang family.

Comparing her younger brother and Wang Yang, Li Yayan’s heart went out to Wang Yang even if the other person was her own biological brother. In the past, Li Yayan had not dared to say anything for fear of ruining her relationship with Wang Yang. But the day she had always been waiting for had finally arrived. She would finally get to take her revenge.

“My dad…” At the mention of Father Wang, Wang Yang’s tone grew a lot colder. “My dad is especially concerned about my uncles and cousins. He can’t let go of them. My dad’s so old. I can’t possibly be so selfish as to ask him to move to the capital for my sake. Since he likes his relatives so much, I’ll be a filial son and accede to his request. Then, I’ll just give him a bigger allowance. There are so many people in the Wang family. I’m sure they’ll take good care of my dad.”
