Chapter 2288: Biggest Worry

If they placed all of their hopes on her alone, her father-in-law might very well force her to divorce Wang Yang if she failed this time.

Even if Wang Yang couldn’t get the Zhu family’s assets, he still had a good background. But if she were to get a divorce from Wang Yang, there was no way she would find such a good husband again.

There was no way she could afford to get divorced. No, she wasn’t going to carry such a heavy burden alone.

Whether it was five million or six million, that sum of money no longer mattered to Li Yayan. She could only hope that Qiao Zijin wouldn’t give up so easily. She wouldn’t fight with Qiao Zijin over that sum of money. Now, Li Yayan really hoped that Qiao Zijin was capable enough to settle the matter once and for all. As long as she remained Wang Yang’s wife, she would always be able to extend a helping hand to her family.

“Let me ask about it.” Wang Yang had heard about how greedy Qiao Zijin was. As such, Wang Yang didn’t really believe that Qiao Zijin would really return to Ping Cheng. Qiao Zijin had probably never even seen such a huge sum of money in her entire life. It was true that the Chen family was rich, but there was no way they would have entrusted Qiao Zijin with their money.

If Qiao Zijin missed out on this chance, she could dream on about ever owning five million yuan. It wasn’t just Qiao Zijin. No one would be able to refuse five million yuan. If Qiao Zijin was lying to him, it would be because she wanted to make use of Chen Jun to raise her price beyond five million yuan.

It wasn’t that Wang Yang didn’t believe whatever Qiao Zijin had said about having Qiao Nan as her sister, being able to ride on her parents’ laurels, and benefitting from Qiao Nan even if Qiao Nan didn’t care about her. He knew that that was indeed possible. But given Qiao Nan’s attitude toward the Qiao family in the past two years, Wang Yang was sure that Qiao Zijin would never be satisfied with just that. Spending someone else’s money was never as pleasing as spending one’s own money. There was no way Qiao Zijin would give up on this sum of money so easily.

Qiao Zijin had probably spent a tidy sum coming to the capital because of this matter. If she were to give up now, she would have wasted her money.

“Hurry and get to the bottom of it.” Li Yayan was truly worried that Qiao Zijin would leave. Now, Qiao Zijin was the only one who could get her out of this mess. “Wang Yang, keep your eye on Qiao Zijin. I’ll get in touch with Qiao Nan and invite her out for a meal.”

She would try to get the details out of Qiao Nan.

“Qiao Zijin said that Qiao Nan already knows about our relationship.” This was the other problem that troubled Wang Yang. “Try inviting her out to see if it’s true.”

Li Yayan’s face paled. She had never expected to receive so many pieces of bad news at once. Thinking about how Qiao Nan already knew that she was Wang Yang’s wife, Li Yayan’s hand trembled furiously as she picked up her phone to call Qiao Nan. “Hello, Qiao Nan? It’s me. Are you free to go out shopping or to have a meal?”

Whether or not Qiao Nan knew about the truth, she would have to beg Qiao Nan to have mercy on her and persuade her to have a discussion about the Zhu family’s inheritance.

Qiao Nan had to resist the urge to laugh. First, it had been Qiao Zijin. Now, even Li Yayan was calling her. Were they trying to tattle on each other? “Are you sure you’re in the mood to go shopping or have a meal? Don’t tell me that Qiao Zijin hasn’t gotten in touch with you and conveyed my message to you guys.”

There was no way Qiao Zijin could have sat still with such a huge chink in her armor.

Qiao Nan knew that Qiao Zijin was not as carefree as she appeared to be when it came to Chen Jun. No matter what, Chen Jun had been Qiao Zijin’s husband, the only person Qiao Zijin had ever married, as well as Qiao Zijin’s first man. After marriage, Chen Jun had never truly loved Qiao Zijin and had even started affairs outside. It was only natural for Qiao Zijin to be hurt.

Knowing that Wang Yang had been behind Chen Jun’s appearance in her life, Qiao Zijin, who had been hurt, had moments of anger too. Money was obviously nice to have. Unfortunately, the price that Wang Yang had offered was not high enough, and it was insufficient to quench the rage in her.

“…” Li Yayan felt a chill run down her spine. “Who’s Qiao Zijin? Qiao Nan, why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Li Yayan asked as she turned to Wang Yang, who was beside her. The situation had gotten tricky. It seemed like Qiao Zijin hadn’t been lying to them, after all.

The moment Wang Yang heard Li Yayan’s words, he had an even greater reaction than Qiao Nan. Wang Yang’s eyebrows furrowed into a frown, and his temples throbbed as his heart skipped a beat. Had his greatest fears come true?

Qiao Nan leaned back against the sofa. “What’s the matter? Isn’t Wang Yang beside you? I was rather surprised to find out that you’re Wang Yang’s wife. It seems like you’re living quite comfortably after getting married to him. As schoolmates, I have to congratulate you on that. Oh right, do you have anything else?”

After all, she didn’t have much to talk about with Li Yayan.

“…” Li Yayan bit on her lip, refusing to admit to it. “Qiao Nan, why don’t I understand a thing you’re saying? Who’s Qiao Zijin? I don’t know anyone named Qiao Zijin.” As for Wang Yang, Li Yayan intelligently chose not to bring it up. She had no other choice. Qiao Nan had her ways of checking up on her, and the name of her spouse was, in fact, Wang Yang.

Qiao Nan picked at her eyebrow. “Alright. I can’t do anything if you insist on not knowing Qiao Zijin. Forget about going out together. I’ve been embroiled in a lawsuit lately and it’s been quite tiring. If you really want to go out, we can find a chance after this lawsuit ends.”

Since Li Yayan was going to put on a pretense, Qiao Nan couldn’t even be bothered to waste her breath on Li Yayan.

Just like how Li Yayan refused to admit to her relationship with Wang Yang, Qiao Nan refused to pay any attention to Li Yayan, saying that she would get in touch after the lawsuit. Of course, there was nothing Li Yayan could do about that. “Can’t-can’t we meet up any sooner?”

Why would she bother meeting up with Qiao Nan after the lawsuit?

“No, I’m busy with the lawsuit.”

“…” Li Yayan took a deep breath. “Shouldn’t you have hired lawyers to fight that lawsuit? Besides, you’ll have to eat no matter how busy you are. How about just meeting up for a meal?”
