Chapter 2319: My Son (2)
It could be said that before she was married, Mother Zhu was the Zhu family’s little princess. After marrying into the Wang family, she became the Wang family’s empress dowager.
She was valued since young. Today, she was chased out by her own husband. How could Mother Zhu hold back and not get mad? “Say your words clearly. What did you mean by that? Are you complaining that I’m old and since my brother is no longer around, nobody is supporting me and you can get a divorce? Don’t think I don’t know that you have another woman outside. On account that you return home every day and didn’t spend the night outside, I didn’t mind that you took my money and spent it on other women. Since there’s no one else in the Zhu family anymore, you’re bold enough to divorce me so that you can be together with that old vixen, huh?”
Mother Zhu was a woman. How could she not feel the attitude of the person sleeping next to her?
When she was young, Mother Zhu really didn’t notice anything. It was just that after that, the members of the Zhu family left one by one and only Zhu Chengqi was left. The Zhu family wasn’t like the Wang family, who had many descendants. Father Wang’s attitude toward Mother Zhu naturally wasn’t as good as when they were young.
It wasn’t that Father Wang had the intention to divorce Mother Zhu so that he could be together with his lover. Mother Zhu was old and no longer good-looking. However, so many years had passed for the lover Father Wang had when he was young. Could it be that she was still a fresh flower like decades ago? Mother Zhu had been leading a comfortable life. If comparisons were to be made, Mother Zhu would seem younger, alright?
It was just that everyone had a rebellious nature. When the time was right, it couldn’t help but appear. When they were young, for the sake of the Wang family and his future, Father Wang gave up the woman he loved and married a woman who could help him.
They were already old. Father Wang didn’t value love and affection anymore. He felt that that was the cleanest and purest relationship he had ever had. After the other party divorced him, she had to raise a child alone and their lives were tough. It wasn’t a big deal to give them some money so that they could lead a more relaxed life. That could be treated as a perfect end to their young love.
Aside from giving his first love money, Father Wang had never done anything sorry to Mother Zhu. After all, Zhu Chengqi was still alive then. Everything in the Zhu family belonged to those surnamed Zhu, not Wang. Father Wang wasn’t so stupid as to ruin the efforts of two generations for the sake of an old and no longer good-looking woman.
However, when Mother Zhu mentioned this, it wasn’t that Father Wang didn’t feel any shame in his heart at all. The Wang family’s money was used to clean up Wang Yang’s mess. When other people in the Wang family no longer had money to spend, they had to rely on Mother Zhu for money. Was the money Father Wang gave to his first love earned by Father Wang himself? It was completely conceivable that most of it came from Mother Zhu.
As long as Father Wang wasn’t too overboard and had no artifice like other people, Mother Zhu could turn a blind eye spending this amount of money. After all, Mother Zhu had seen a lot of overboard things, let alone just listened. As such, in the situation where Father Wang purely just had thoughts in his heart but didn’t do anything substantive at all, Mother Zhu comforted herself that on the account of her son and grandson, she didn’t need to be so calculative with Father Wang.
However, today was different. The couple wasn’t as harmonious as before and was arguing. Wang Yang was Mother Zhu’s lifeblood. It was after Zhu Baoguo died and Zhu Chengqi no longer had a child that Mother Zhu cared more about Wang Yang, her son. Father Wang spoke ill of Wang Yang today. This was akin to piercing Mother Zhu’s lungs.
Father Wang touched on one of Mother Zhu’s taboos. She had to be calculative for the things she usually wasn’t calculative about.
Being exposed by Mother Zhu, Father Wang’s face became hot. “You don’t know anything. Stay aside. Why are you kicking up a fuss in front of our son? To think you’re already a grandma…”
Father Wang really didn’t look good now. He had the highest status in the Wang family. Now, his wife had exposed him in front of their son and daughter-in-law. Father Wang was furious.
“So what if I’m a grandma? You’re a grandpa. When we die in the future, any extra money would belong to my son and grandson. You took my money and gave it to that woman. That means giving my son’s and grandson’s money to that woman. Person surnamed Wang, if you really have any thoughts, then fine. We can’t lead our lives together anymore, huh?! Let me tell you. Even if my brother is no longer around and you’re angry about the will, don’t even think about climbing on top of me to flaunt your prowess in this lifetime!”
Before this, Mother Zhu behaved herself in front of Father Wang because of this matter. As they argued, the feeling of debt gradually disappeared from her heart. She felt that Father Wang owed her.
She didn’t acknowledge that will as she was surnamed Zhu, and her son, Wang Yang, had the blood of the Zhu family as well. It wasn’t that the Zhu family was completely annihilated. On what basis should the Zhu family’s money be given to outsiders? However, she didn’t feel that if this sum of money didn’t land in Wang Yang’s hands, then it was Wang Yang’s fault for letting the entire Wang family down and it’d be best for him to commit suicide to atone for his sins.
Tsk!
She didn’t let the Wang family down. There were many children in the Wang family. However, no one’s child was as promising and outstanding as her Yang Yang. For his brothers’ children, the old man gave Yang Yang so much pressure and even scolded him. She wasn’t happy that Yang Yang was stepped under his feet. In this world, even she couldn’t speak to Yang Yang like this.
Upon hearing his parents arguing, Wang Yang didn’t feel as pressured as before. Wang Yang understood the difference between his parents deeper today.
Wang Yang used to think that since his mom was surnamed Zhu, she still had the Zhu family in her heart. She didn’t think about him and the Wang family wholeheartedly. Different from his mom, his dad was part of the Wang family. As such, both of them were truly of one mind. Because of this situation, Wang Yang felt distant from his mom but could talk to his dad about anything under the sky.
Now that something happened today, Wang Yang, who was already a father, felt that in terms of feelings, his mom’s feelings for him were much purer. On the contrary, there were too many impurities in his dad’s feelings for him. In his dad’s heart, the Wang family’s future, his brothers and nephews, and even his own face and status were the most important. As his son, he naturally ranked behind them.
Upon thinking that he was after his mom’s family’s things, Wang Yang felt pretty sorry to her.
Wang Yang didn’t know why, but he suddenly thought of when Zhu Baoguo had just died.
