Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2337: The Truth That Came Late (2)

But Qiao Nan could not believe that Mother Zhu knew nothing about this matter.

In the past, Qiao Nan had always been resentful toward Mother Zhu. After all, Mother Zhu was part of the Zhu family and had grown up being pampered by Old Master Zhu and Zhu Chengqi. How vicious she had to be to betray her own family and remain silent even when she knew that her nephew had died a wrongful death. But who would have expected that Mother Zhu was not pretending? She was truly a fool!

After understanding the situation, Qiao Nan continued. “Yes. Zhu Baoguo was beaten to death by hooligans, but Wang Yang was the one who sought out those hooligans. Initially, he had not wanted Zhu Baoguo’s life. He had just intended to let these hooligans lead Zhu Baoguo astray so that Zhu Baoguo would not make much of his life. I don’t know what happened later on, but Zhu Baoguo… died.”

“Wang Yang has to take full responsibility for Zhu Baoguo’s death. I won’t talk about why Wang Yang was disgruntled with Zhu Baoguo and had some ideas toward him at such a young age. I’m sure you know why. Chief Zhu has already made himself very clear by handing all of the Zhu family’s assets over to an outsider like me instead of Wang Yang now that Zhu Baoguo’s gone. I’m not afraid of being blunt. I’m willing to give anyone things belonging to the Zhu family, except for Wang Yang!”

With that, Qiao Nan picked her books up and headed for her class without sparing Mother Zhu and Li Yayan, who were unable to handle the truth, another gaze.

Mother Zhu was an utter failure for having been cheated and lied to by her son to such an extent.

No wonder her godfather had never talked about his younger sister, Mother Zhu. He was all too clear that both he and Old Master Zhu were to be blamed for Mother Zhu’s character. They had spoiled his sister. That was why he had no choice but to admit to his fate that he had spoiled his sister so much that he had lost his own son.

“Mom, Mom…” Qiao Nan heard Li Yayan’s voice cry out before she could leave the area. She vaguely heard that someone had fainted, and someone shouting for others to call an ambulance.

Of course, this was none of Qiao Nan’s concern. What she needed to care about was her studies so that she could get a graduation certificate as soon as possible.

But Qiao Nan’s mood had also been affected because of meeting Li Yayan and Mother Zhu and talking about Zhu Baoguo’s death. When Zhai Sheng arrived to pick his wife up, he noticed Qiao Nan’s sullen face. “What’s wrong? Did the Wang family come to look for you again? Didn’t you say that you could deal with it? If it’s really hard for you, I’ll deal with it for you.”

Zhai Sheng was more than happy to help Qiao Nan solve these problems. It was just that Qiao Nan had not allowed him to do so in the past. As such, Zhai Sheng had chosen to respect her decision and had not brought up the matter again. But now that he saw Qiao Nan dispirited, Zhai Sheng was no longer willing to let Qiao Nan have her way.

After getting in the car, Qiao Nan hugged Zhai Sheng’s muscular arm and leaned over. “I saw Wang Yang’s mother today. It seemed like she knew nothing about how her son killed Zhu Baoguo. Thankfully, the truth won’t remain hidden any longer. Although I can already guess the result, I can’t help but feel bad for Zhu Baoguo.”

One was her nephew who had died years ago, while the other was her precious son. There was no way a dead person could compare to a living person. Even though Mother Zhu had not known about the link between Wang Yang and Zhu Baoguo’s death earlier, she would never turn Wang Yang in now for the sake of her nephew, Zhu Baoguo.

So many years had passed since that incident, and much of the evidence had already been destroyed. There was a low possibility of convicting Wang Yang of manslaughter.

If even the law couldn’t deal with Wang Yang, would Mother Zhu try all ways to send Wang Yang to prison? Forget it.

In that case, it had been meaningless to let Mother Zhu know about the truth behind Zhu Baoguo’s death. Her reaction and attitude were bound to be disappointing. Qiao Nan couldn’t help but feel aggrieved on behalf of the three generations of the Zhu family’s men. Mother Zhu said that she had raised Zhu Baoguo like a son, and of course, the reverse was probably true. Mother Zhu was probably like a mother in Zhu Baoguo’s eyes too.

Under such a situation, Zhu Baoguo had become the one whom Mother Zhu had abandoned. Qiao Nan was thankful that Zhu Baoguo was no longer around to face such a cruel reality. Otherwise, Zhu Baoguo would definitely be devastated in the face of such an aunt.

Although she knew that, she couldn’t help but feel heartache for Zhu Baoguo.

Qiao Nan completely understood why Zhu Chengqi had left such a will, and the feelings he had had while doing so. He had been hurt too deeply. Zhu Chengqi was not just disappointed in his nephew, Wang Yang, but also his younger sister, Mother Zhu. As such, Qiao Nan had been the only one mentioned in his will.

They were clearly the ones who had hurt others and disappointed others first. Not only had they not reflected on their mistakes upon hearing the contents of the will, but they had even blamed Zhu Chengqi for being muddleheaded! In the face of such a situation, Qiao Nan wanted to slap their mouths. They should at least have a limit to their shamelessness!

Qiao Nan was not going to go easy on these shameless people. She would say what she had to, scold them as they deserved, and provoke them as much as she should!

After her lessons, Qiao Nan returned home to spend time with the three children, and Zhai Sheng told her. “Mother Zhu’s been hospitalized.”

“Did I anger her, or did Wang Yang anger her?” Qiao Nan was playing with San Bao and was not affected by Zhai Sheng’s piece of news. After all, Qiao Nan had already guessed whom Mother Zhu would choose between Wang Yang and Zhu Baoguo. Perhaps, Mother Zhu had been hospitalized because of both her and Wang Yang.

Zhai Sheng hugged Qiao Nan, who was hugging her daughter. The family of three was in a huddle.

Unfortunately, such a warm scene was quickly ruined by two ‘rascals’. Upon seeing this situation, Da Bao and Er Bao immediately crawled to their parents’ sides and did their best to squeeze into Zhai Sheng’s arms to break Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan apart.

Feeling two chubby figures climbing onto her, Qiao Nan sighed. “Brother Zhai, hurry and get your sons down. Your children are getting heavier by the day. My back can’t stand it. Their calves are really powerful.”

The moment Qiao Nan said that, Zhai Sheng frowned and wrestled Da Bao and Er Bao off Qiao Nan’s back and placed them on the floor. “Don’t make trouble for your mom. If you’re disobedient, I’ll smack your backside.”
