Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Now, Mother Zhu understood everything. If she was in her brother’s position, she would probably have left behind such a will too. It didn’t matter whom the Zhu family’s assets went to. The important thing was that it would never go to the one who had killed Baoguo.

“Yang Yang, if you still take me as your mother, withdraw the lawsuit against Qiao Nan. Stop fighting the lawsuit. You’ll never win. You have no rights anyway. Weren’t you asking about why your uncle left behind such a will? I can tell you now that your uncle remembered that you were his nephew, and it was because of that that he let you off for Baoguo’s death. Stop thinking about getting the Zhu family’s assets.” He was truly shameless.

She no longer needed Qiao Nan to attack her. Even Mother Zhu admitted that Wang Yang was no longer qualified to be the master of the Zhu family or to inherit the Zhu family’s assets after he had done such an unforgivable thing. The Zhu family owed Wang Yang nothing. Conversely, it was Wang Yang who owed the Zhu family.

Mother Zhu still remembered the kind of life Old Master Zhu and Zhu Chengqi had lived after Zhu Baoguo’s death. Mother Zhu was completely unable to accept that her only son had been the sole reason for her family’s tragedy and misery.

Unfortunately, that was the truth no matter how brutal it was. Mother Zhu had no choice but to accept it.

“Mom…” Wang Yang’s face turned green. He had never expected his mother to say such words to him. In that moment, Wang Yang’s heart wavered. He was unsure if he should ask why Mother Zhu was so sure that he had killed Zhu Baoguo, or whether Zhu Chengqi had already known about this matter.

If he were to ask about the latter, he would be admitting to being involved in Zhu Baoguo’s death. But Wang Yang could not hold it in. He had never imagined that Zhu Chengqi had already known about the truth behind his son’s death, just like how he had never worried that Mother Zhu would suspect him of being involved in Zhu Baoguo’s death.

But Wang Yang had been wrong in both matters. He was utterly confused and he couldn’t help but doubt himself. “Mom, don’t… Don’t listen to what Qiao Nan says. She’s making up stories. I’m telling you that I had nothing to do with Brother Baoguo’s death. Everyone knows that it was those hooligans who beat Brother Baoguo to death. I was at home the entire day and I didn’t even get out of the house that day. Besides, you understand my uncle’s temper the best. If I was the one who killed Brother Baoguo, he would have dealt with me a long time ago. Think about it. Although he had never treated me like his son, it’s only because of his help through the years that I have made it this far… Do you think he would have helped me if I had caused Brother Baoguo’s death?”

Yes, Qiao Nan had deceived his mom. He could not afford to panic, much less admit to his involvement in Zhu Baoguo’s death.

Zhu Chengqi’s attitude was the best proof. Who would treat his son’s killer so well? Not only had Zhu Chengqi not dealt with him, but he had even helped him! Zhu Chengqi had simply chosen not to hand over the Zhu family’s assets to him after his death. What kind of punishment was that? If he was Zhu Chengqi, he would definitely deal with his son’s killer such that he would never be able to live well.

Mother Zhu shut her eyes. Yang Yang was still arguing even now. There was not a single truth coming out from his mouth.

Yes, she loved Baoguo, and she couldn’t help but shiver upon thinking about how Yang Yang had killed Baoguo. The problem was that if she had to make a choice between Baoguo and Yang Yang, she would definitely choose Yang Yang as a mother, ignoring the truth behind Baoguo’s death. After all, Baoguo had already been dead for twenty years.

All along, everyone had thought that it was Baoguo who had gone astray and had provoked the wrong people, leading to his eventual demise. As Baoguo’s aunt, she could only selfishly ask for Baoguo’s forgiveness on her son’s behalf, taking this secret to her grave so that no one mentioned it ever again.

Mother Zhu had the heart to protect Wang Yang, but Wang Yang’s lies hurt her dignity as a mother. After all, no mother would be happy with their son lying through their noses even after they had been exposed, causing their relationship to deteriorate.

She had dedicated her entire life to her son, Wang Yang, and had never wronged him. Why could Wang Yang be so open and frank with his father but full of lies in front of his mother?

This child was truly from the Wang family. “Alright, don’t say anything. I feel worse every time you say something. It seems like my advice went over your head. I see you share a very good relationship with your dad and keep nothing from him. Perhaps, you feel happy carrying the burden of the entire Wang family because your dad told you to do so. I’ll let you listen to your dad. I’m sure you’ll be happy about it.”

There were some things that Mother Zhu had not understood in the past.

But now that she had discovered that Wang Yang had something to do with Zhu Baoguo’s death, Mother Zhu could imagine just how much the Wang family must have been involved as well. That was why the Zhu family had not been able to find out anything regarding Zhu Baoguo’s death. After all, Wang Yang had even lied to his mother!

No wonder Father Wang always said that their son owed it to the Wang family and wanted him to get back the Zhu family’s assets to repay the Wang family. She had been confused since the Wang family’s background had never matched up to the Zhu family’s. Within the first few years of her marriage, the Wang family seemed to have lost everything, and the Wang family’s relatives had always been coming to them to get money.

Initially, Mother Zhu had been reluctant. After all, this was all her money. In the future, it would all belong to Wang Yang. What if she could no longer provide for her son when he needed it since she had given it all to the Wang family? The Wang family was still miles apart from hers.

But every time Mother Zhu refused these requests, Father Wang would coax Mother Zhu, saying that it hadn’t been easy for his brothers and that they had helped him in the past too. Because of that, Mother Zhu reluctantly agreed to keep the peace in the family.

Now, there was no need to think about it anymore. The Wang family was in such a dire situation because they had emptied their pockets to protect Wang Yang. That was the real reason. There was a perfect explanation for Father Wang’s words and Wang Yang’s attitude all along.

In that case, everyone in the Wang family knew exactly how Zhu Baoguo had died.. She had been the only fool who had been kept in the dark.
