Chapter 2352 - Settling Scores (2)

"It's good enough that you haven't lost any money. Don't you think so?"
In other words, he had never taken advantage of the Wang family financially because of Zhu Baoguo's death.
"You bastard!" Father Wang screamed. "The one whom your mom married was me, not you! Couples are one. Your mom's money is my money. We have common property. The money that your mom gave your uncles wasn't hers alone. You still owe it to the Wang family! Don't you dare bring your mom's money into the picture!"
Wang Yang sneered. "My mom's money is yours, and yours is the Wang family's. But why does the Wang family's money have nothing to do with me? If that's the case, I'll owe the Wang family for the money they spent on me. But I'll also owe you and Mom for the money you spent on raising me. Wouldn't that mean that I owe double the money? How about this? Why don't I call Mom and get her to talk to you about how much her money has to do with you and the Wang family?"
Wang Yang had never ridiculed Qiao Nan. Although she did not have high educational qualifications, she was more than capable of earning her keep. But such a capable person had been bullied by Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. Even her husband had been snatched away by Qiao Zijin.
At this moment, Wang Yang suddenly understood Qiao Nan's frustration. At times, some things had nothing to do with one's abilities. It was all about one's character and shamelessness. People like that said the most infuriating things and often positioned themselves in the most advantageous positions. What was his was still his, but what belonged to others was also his. Everything was his. If anyone wanted anything, they had better earn it for themselves. But even then, they would still have to consider if he would want those things. Only if he didn't would whatever one earned be theirs to keep. As long as he wanted it, everyone had better forget about having it.
There was no point in trying to argue against such warped logic. There was no way of convincing him otherwise. In fact, one would only get annoyed by the other party's unreasonable attitude.
To be honest, he was not much better than Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan had handed over all her earnings to Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. As for him? He listened wholeheartedly to his father and did whatever his father told him to do. If not for this lawsuit, he would still be listening to his father, looking down on his mother, who treated him sincerely, all the while being a slave to the Wang family. Not only would he have to supply them with money, but he would even have to be their coolie. Only when he settled the matter would he have finished his job. Even then, they wouldn't think of it as him having done them a favor. It was something he had to do since he owed it to the Wang family.
He had never thought that anything was wrong with such a stupid explanation, and he had even thought that everything his dad had said was right. In fact, he had even thought that it was his duty to do so. Had his brain been eaten by a dog at that time?
Wang Yang thought that it was incredulous and no longer wanted to continue with the topic. His dad could say whatever he wanted, but he would do whatever he wanted. If he really owed the Wang family anything, he would simply return them whatever was owed. If his dad tried to come up with a pile of fake 'IOUs', he would never admit to it, nor would he ever return them anything.
"It seems like we've come to an understanding regarding the money…"
"…" Father Wang's eyes widened. He was furious that he couldn't beat Wang Yang to death at the moment. Understanding? Since when had they come to an understanding? Why was he not in the loop about that? He had made it clear that Wang Yang still owed the Wang family, but Wang Yang had said that his mom had already paid off his debts, including the interest, for him. In fact, the Wang family had even taken advantage of him.
"Since we've already covered the matter of money, let's talk about me making use of the Wang family's resources. Those people aren't very educated to begin with and aren't very good workers either. If my memory serves me well, the Wang family simply arranged for average jobs for them. Not only are their jobs average, but their salaries aren't high, and the benefits are quite average too. I really believed you when you said that the Wang family's resources had been spent entirely on me in the past. But I don't believe that anymore. It's true that grandpa liked me when he was still alive, but he paid much more attention to you, his son."
He had been deceived like a fool because he had not contemplated these matters in the past. Now that he was finally using his intelligence, he had suddenly realized that the relationships that he had held dear to him in the past were nothing at all!
"When the old master was still alive, he valued you and was always thinking about how to bring you to greater heights. If the Wang family had so much resources, your position wouldn't have been so low before you married my mom. Wasn't that why the Zhu family had objected to your marriage and others even said that you were trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Zhu family? I can't deny that the Wang family does indeed have resources. But Dad, don't you think that you're going overboard by trying to cheat me like a three-year-old and saying that the Wang family's resources were expansive? I know that you were already in cahoots with the old master to fool me like you had done to my mom because you knew that the Zhu family's assets would definitely go to me after Zhu Baoguo's death given how much my mom cared about me. Only by coaxing me would the Zhu family's assets become the Wang family's."
At the thought of this, Wang Yang's voice changed.
In the first few years after Zhu Baoguo's death, Wang Yang had often had nightmares. At that time, it was always either Old Master Wang or Father Wang who would have accompanied him. They had constantly reminded him how much the Wang family had sacrificed for his sake just to settle the matter. As such, nothing would happen.
Every time he heard that, Wang Yang felt thankful to have a father and grandpa like that. He knew that the resources and money mattered very much to everyone else in the Wang family too. But his grandpa and father had not spared anything and had used everything that his uncles desired on a teenage boy like him.
As such, he had given up everything and dedicated his whole soul to repay the kindness he had received.
The more he found out about the truth, the colder Wang Yang got toward the Wang family. Now, he wasn't going to listen to Father Wang's words anymore. He was already a man in his thirties. If he were to continue to be taken in by these lies, he would have wasted all that rice growing up.
"Alright, let's not talk about the specifics of the Wang family's resources. You know very well just how my youngest uncle's daughter fared in school. Do you need me to remind you how she eventually became a civil servant? Also, wasn't I the one who resolved the matter when my second uncle's son almost got caught because he was corrupted?"
"I have three uncles and two aunts. Is there even a single child in these five families that I've never helped?"
