Chapter 2351 - Settling Scores (1)

Father w.a.n.g was w.a.n.g Yang's father, and w.a.n.g Yang's stand naturally represented Father w.a.n.g's. In the future, Father w.a.n.g should simply live his life with his son. Poor relatives like them would neither try to take advantage of w.a.n.g Yang nor climb up over his head. They would simply sever all ties.

Hearing his brother say that, Father w.a.n.g's stroke nearly worsened. Growing up, his brothers had always listened to whatever he said.

Father w.a.n.g was used to being the ruler of the w.a.n.g family. Now that no one was taking him seriously, and everyone even severed ties with him, Father w.a.n.g was anxious and furious and did not know what to do. Should he scold his brothers for being disrespectful and saying such infuriating words, or should he make a call to reprimand w.a.n.g Yang?

If not for his disobedient son who had made trouble for him, the w.a.n.g family would never have rebelled against him, nor would his younger brother have usurped the position of the head of the w.a.n.g family from him.

His younger brother was disobedient while his son was unfilial. The thought of it made Father w.a.n.g roll his eyes in fury. He had worked hard his whole life for the sake of the w.a.n.g family and his relatives. Although they had performed well in the past, they were all rebelling against him now. What a mess!

If he had not been in charge of the w.a.n.g family all these years, would the w.a.n.g family have gotten to where they were today? These ingrates! Did they really think that any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry could be the head of the w.a.n.g family?

Before Father w.a.n.g could go on his rant and scold them, the w.a.n.g family simply took their leave.

The money and resources Old Master w.a.n.g had spent on w.a.n.g Yang couldn't be gotten back. Even the house that Father w.a.n.g was living in now was Old Master w.a.n.g's. When Old Master w.a.n.g had pa.s.sed away, he had split his a.s.sets among his sons but had left this house to his eldest son, Father w.a.n.g. No matter what, Father w.a.n.g was his eldest son, and w.a.n.g Yang was his eldest grandson. As such, it was only natural for the house to go to Father w.a.n.g, who would then pa.s.s it on to w.a.n.g Yang.

In the past, the w.a.n.g family had been entirely focused on the Zhu family's a.s.sets. As such, no one really cared about the house left behind by Old Master w.a.n.g. Now, no matter how unjust they felt it was for Father w.a.n.g to receive the house, there was no use in arguing over it since the will had been effected such a long time ago.

After making themselves clear to Father w.a.n.g, the w.a.n.g family left the house, swearing never to return. Because of everything, they despised w.a.n.g Yang, and w.a.n.g Yang didn't acknowledge them as his uncles or aunties either. Not meeting would save everyone some face, at the very least.

In the future, they would live their separate lives and not interfere in each other's.

In reality, these words were targeted at Father w.a.n.g. The w.a.n.g family's brothers still discussed with each other before doing anything. It was only Father w.a.n.g who had no place in their discussions.

Evidently, the w.a.n.g family had come to a consensus about kicking Father w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Yang out of the w.a.n.g family.

After learning of this result, Father w.a.n.g's anger could no longer be controlled and he fainted. Thankfully, the doctor arrived in time and Father w.a.n.g's condition did not deteriorate. But the doctor reminded Father w.a.n.g that he would soon go into a vegetative state if he continued flaring up in this manner.

Hearing the doctor's words, Father w.a.n.g felt like his life had been a failure. His brothers refused to acknowledge him, his son was living in the capital and did not care about his father, and even his wife was not by his side to take care of him. As for his grandson, Mother Zhu had brought him to the capital to reunite him with his parents.

The lively and bustling w.a.n.g family had suddenly become cold and desolate. In the past, they were countless people who surrounded him. But in the blink of an eye, the only one left apart from him in the w.a.n.g family was the nanny who had been hired to take care of him.

In the face of such loneliness, Father w.a.n.g was full of resentment and he couldn't help but call w.a.n.g Yang. "w.a.n.g Yang, I raised a good son indeed. You didn't care about anything I said or acknowledge me as your father. Look, your uncles are now mad at me and they're following in your footsteps by disowning me. In the future, we won't even be relatives and I'll be a lonely old man. Perhaps, no one will know if I pa.s.s away one day. Are you happy now? I must have acc.u.mulated eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck to have gotten a son like you! If I had known that you would become so rebellious, I would have put my effort into cultivating your brother instead of wasting all of the w.a.n.g family's resources and money on you!"

It was uncomfortable listening to his father calling him a heartless fool.

w.a.n.g Yang took a deep breath. "Alright, stop bringing up the money that the w.a.n.g family spent on me all these years. If you really feel that I owe you or the w.a.n.g family, let's settle the accounts. How much did grandpa spend on me that year? I'll let Mom tabulate how much she has spent on the w.a.n.g family all these years. If there's anything short, I'll make it up to you. Anyway, my mom's no fool. She kept her accounts well."

"…" Father w.a.n.g had thought that this had been a good reason to punish w.a.n.g Yang severely, so much so that he would beg for forgiveness. Who would have expected w.a.n.g Yang to retaliate with such a strategy? Especially after hearing that Mother Zhu had written down every single sum that she had handed over to the w.a.n.g family, Father w.a.n.g didn't know whether he should be angry or guilty.

"Don't you know something called inflation? It might be the same hundred yuan, but in the past, it could cover our entire family's expenses for the whole month. Now, a hundred yuan can probably only last two days. How then can we calculate it in this manner?"

w.a.n.g Yang laughed. "You have an account book in your heart too. You're just bullying me because I'm ignorant. I can't deny that you're right. But if I'm not wrong, Mom has been constantly giving the w.a.n.g family money, right? I might not have known in the past, but now, I do. After the w.a.n.g family spent their money on me, their expenses have fallen on my mom. The w.a.n.g family has never stopped asking for money. I'm sure they ask for money more than once a year, right? Does Mom's money that she gave them in the past not have inflation?"

"Besides, I'm sure my mom has forked out much more than whatever my grandpa did at that time.. I'll just treat everything extra as interest."
