Then, she carried Da Bao, who was grabbing her trouser leg and wanting to become a climbing animal eagerly, from the ground and fed him milk.

After ‘exercising’ for long, Da Bao was really thirsty. He lay in his mom’s arms and was as comfortable as a little emperor as he started drinking.

“If there’s anything, go and find Zhai Sheng. He should know.” Miao Jing was ‘unkind’ to have pushed this matter to her son, Zhai Sheng. She was Zhai Sheng’s wife. If Nan Nan ran into trouble, who else should she turn to if not Zhai Sheng? Otherwise, Zhai Sheng’s role as a husband would be too easy, right?

Qiao Nan replied, “Mom’s right. If there’s anything, I should call Brother Zhai and give him something to do.” Perhaps she could only find Zhai Sheng for this matter. Li Yayan was younger than her. If she wasn’t someone’s daughter but someone’s daughter-in-law, her parents-in-law wouldn’t have known.

After having dinner, Qiao Nan let her parents-in-law take care of the three children while she went to take a shower. After bathing, Qiao Nan called Zhai Sheng. “Hello? Brother Zhai, it’s me.”

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng responded. “Is anything the matter? Did something happen to you or the children?” Zhai Sheng knew that they should pay more attention to younger children. They might be getting this shot today and another shot tomorrow. They might even get a fever if they were teething. It had been quite some time since the family had children. When the triplets fell sick almost at the same time, their family would become flustered.

Qiao Nan wiped her hair. “It has nothing to do with the children. It’s me.” Qiao Nan was used to Zhai Sheng’s concise way of speaking and she didn’t complain that he didn’t sweet-talk. “Brother Zhai, do you know who Li Yayan is? She’s a woman in her thirties.”

When she was asking this question, Qiao Nan didn’t expect Zhai Sheng to give her an answer immediately. She had thought about it as well. Li Yayan was going to reveal her motive soon. However, she wasn’t in a rush to do so. As such, if Zhai Sheng was given two to three days to check on Li Yayan, there was enough time.

What Qiao Nan didn’t expect was that Zhai Sheng actually knew who Li Yayan was. This answer shocked Qiao Nan and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. “I know. She’s Wang Yang’s wife.”

It was no wonder Nan Nan didn’t have an impression of her. When they got married, Nan Nan was married from the Zhu family. However, Li Yayan didn’t show her face even when Nan Nan left the Zhu family.

Different from Qiao Nan, ever since Zhai Sheng knew that Wang Yang was scheming toward Qiao Nan and Zhu Chengqi wanted to leave everything in the Zhu family to her, he sent someone to check on Wang Yang. Of course, Zhai Sheng naturally knew that Wang Yang married a woman named Li Yayan. Zhai Sheng even knew that she looked a little similar to Qiao Nan.

Zhai Sheng didn’t agree with Wang Yang’s approach. However, Zhai Sheng could guess what Wang Yang’s thoughts were. As such, regardless of if it was Wang Yang or Li Yayan, not only did Zhai Sheng not like them, but he even hated them a lot. When asked who Li Yayan was, how would Zhai Sheng, who had a deep impression of her, not know?

“Whose wife?”

“Wang Yang.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…”

After knowing that Li Yayan was Wang Yang’s wife, Qiao Nan understood why she found Li Yayan to be familiar. It wasn’t only because Li Yayan looked a little similar to her. More importantly, she had met Li Yayan once. Of course, it happened in the blink of an eye. It was the time when she went to the cemetery to visit Zhu Baoguo!

“I understand now. The person Li Yayan said was snatching things from her husband is me. Li Yayan did so many things because of the Zhu family’s inheritance.” Yes, wealth struck a chord in everyone’s heart. She didn’t know how much money her godfather had left her. What she knew was that Wang Yang had already taken risks at a young age for these things. Many years later, how would he give up his childhood obsession for her alone?

“Alright. After confirming that she’s Wang Yang’s wife, I know everything now.”

“She comes to find you often?” Zhai Sheng changed his seating position. “I’ll get someone to protect you.” There was already the example of Zhu Baoguo. Zhai Sheng didn’t dare to let his guard down against Wang Yang. It was impossible for him not to let Qiao Nan go out. As such, he could only find a few helpers to protect Qiao Nan so that Wang Yang didn’t need to think of doing anything to her.

Initially, Qiao Nan wanted to say that there wasn’t a need to. After all, this was a society governed by law. Wang Yang shouldn’t be that bold. The problem was that Zhu Baoguo was no longer around. Qiao Nan swallowed the words that had reached her mouth. “You can decide on the arrangement.” It was better to be safe than sorry. Qiao Nan cherished her blessed life now. She didn’t want any problems to happen because of a villain like Wang Yang.

Of course, if she was willing to give up the Zhu family’s inheritance, Qiao Nan knew that all these dangers would leave her. However, Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to do so. She’d rather use the Zhu family’s money to support various charities than let the money fall in Wang Yang’s hands so that he could lead a better life.

“Alright, the lawsuit pertaining to the Zhu family’s inheritance is about to start. Before it starts, I’ll go back to accompany you.” If there was a need for Qiao Nan to appear in court or any other time, Zhai Sheng hoped that he could be by Qiao Nan’s side and give her support.

Zhai Sheng was thankful that these things happened when he was in his forties and not his twenties. Otherwise, even if he had the heart, he wouldn’t have the time. This was the so-called meeting the right person at the right time. Everything that happened following this trajectory would become right.

Qiao Nan’s heart warmed. “Okay, I’ll wait for you to be back.” For some reason, this lawsuit had been delayed for quite some time from the original trial. Initially, Qiao Nan didn’t understand why this happened. Now, she knew that it was because of Wang Yang.

A doctor could prove that her godfather had made this will when he was clear-headed. A lawyer could also prove that her godfather had decided on the contents of the will under the premise of complete autonomy and willingness. With these two large pieces of evidence, it was alright if Wang Yang wanted to file this lawsuit. Anyway, they would be wasting only Wang Yang’s money. In the end, she would be the winner. It wasn’t easy for her to have a channel to waste Wang Yang’s money. By then, not only would Wang Yang, who lost the lawsuit, not be able to get the Zhu family’s money, but he even had to fork out a huge sum of money. Qiao Nan felt good.

She knew this situation clearly.. It was impossible that Wang Yang’s lawyer didn’t tell him.
