Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

"You're so enthusiastic about this, so I'm letting you say as much as you want. I'll just listen to what you have to say."

"Does that mean you've agreed?" Qiao Zijin's heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, she would contact Wang Yang right away and arrange for a meeting so that they could sign a contract in her presence. As long as Qiao Nan signed an agreement to give up the inheritance, Wang Yang's five million yuan would be hers.

Qiao Nan shook her head. "Since when did I agree?"

"What do you mean? I already said that you can voice your opinions at any time. I have no idea what Wang Yang has offered you. If you have a sum in mind, I could help you bring it up to Wang Yang. Qiao Nan, how much do you want? Give me a specific number."

Qiao Nan yawned, growing sleepy from talking to Qiao Zijin. "Qiao Zijin, don't waste your effort. You said that you won't bother me once I agree to this matter. But haven't you realized that you haven't gotten the chance to bother me in the past two years even if you wanted to? Qiao Zijin, do you really think that you're still able to take advantage of me like you did in the past?"

Where had Qiao Zijin's confidence come from? How had this misunderstanding come about?

Qiao Zijin even had to pretend to be her classmate to speak to her on the phone. Did she really think that she would be able to meet her? In fact, Qiao Zijin didn't even have her phone number. Qiao Zijin was already in such a state, and yet, she was still so unaware. Qiao Nan was truly at a loss for words.

Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. "We can't discuss this over the phone. Why don't we meet up and have a chat face-to-face? Don't think that I'm the only one who'll benefit from this. You will too! Believe me. Wang Yang isn't one who'll give up easily. If you don't agree to this, you won't benefit either once this blows up. Why don't you listen to my advice? Once you lose this lawsuit, you won't even get a single cent! Will you only regret everything then? It'll be too late to regret then! If you refuse to talk to Wang Yang now, I'm sure he'll refuse to talk to you at that time too. My advice for you is to take as much as you can now."

Qiao Nan smirked. "You've been very clear and I understand everything you said, but my answer remains. No. If Wang Yang is so capable and can win the lawsuit without giving me a single cent, I'll have to take my hat off to him. Don't worry. If it really comes to that, I'll never beg Wang Yang for anything, and neither will I need your help to plead with Wang Yang on my behalf. Qiao Zijin, I'm clearer about the kind of person Wang Yang is than you are. I'm guessing you still don't know how Chen Jun got to know me before you snatched him away, right? Perhaps, you can bring Wang Yang a message from me. He'd better not think that no one knows about the sins he committed in the past. I'm not a fool, and neither was Chief Zhu. There's no way he'll be able to cover up his sins forever."

Because of that old grudge, she had no intention of ever making peace with Wang Yang in this lifetime.

With that, Qiao Nan hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeps on the other end of the call, Qiao Zijin was baffled. She had always thought that Wang Yang and Qiao Nan hadn't known each other. But from Qiao Nan's tone earlier, it seemed as though the two of them had a past.

Besides, they had been talking about Wang Yang and Qiao Nan, so why had Qiao Nan suddenly brought Chen Jun into the picture? What did Qiao Nan mean by her not understanding how Qiao Nan had gotten to know Chen Jun? That wouldn't do. She had to make a call to Wang Yang right away to clear the air. "Wang Yang, it's me."

"What's up? Have you gotten in contact with Qiao Nan? Have you succeeded?" Wang Yang's eyes lit up the moment he picked up Qiao Zijin's call. The court date was looming and Wang Yang's mood was getting worse by the day. The chances of him winning this case were seriously too low.

Wang Yang had already asked the lawyer. Putting aside his low chances of winning the case, the Zhu family's assets would have nothing to do with him if Qiao Nan were to win it. On the contrary, if he were to win the case, there was no way that Qiao Nan would leave with nothing either.

In reality, splitting the assets equally between Wang Yang and Qiao Nan was already the best the lawyer could do. Even that was no mean feat either.

Wang Yang wasn't even willing to give Qiao Nan half of the assets, let alone everything. This wasn't just about money. It's about the resources and connections that the Zhu family had left behind.

The clearer he was about his disadvantage, the more frustrated Wang Yang was. He couldn't wait for either Qiao Zijin or his wife, Li Yayan, to successfully convince Qiao Nan to forgo the lawsuit. At the very most, he would compensate Qiao Nan with more money. But all of the Zhu family's resources and connections would be his and his alone.

Zhai Sheng already had the Zhai family, and what Zhai Yaohui left to him was more than enough for an entire lifetime. Zhai Sheng would truly be too unreasonable if he was greedy enough to try to take over the Zhu family's assets as well.

"Wang Yang, let me ask you something. You'd better answer me truthfully. If you dare to lie to me, you can resolve your problem with Qiao Nan yourself. Anyway, you've already asked your wife to help you out too. Perhaps, your wife's even better than me and can convince Qiao Nan to agree. Since my relationship with Qiao Nan is so bad, there's no need to waste any more time."

At the mention of Li Yayan working on convincing Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin was full of rage. Since Wang Yang had already approached her, how could Wang Yang get his wife to work on the same matter? He was even asking for her help! He had gone out of line! If he provoked her, she wasn't going to help him out for mere five million yuan. She had truly been hurt because of Wang Yang's lies. Wang Yang had better increase his compensation. Otherwise, she wasn't going to help him out anymore.

Qiao Zijin was rather confident about that. If Qiao Nan refused to even listen to her, how could she possibly listen to Wang Yang's wife? Even though she had no idea what Wang Yang and his wife were up to, she knew that Qiao Nan hated being lied to. She was sure that Wang Yang's wife had never come clean to Qiao Nan about her true identity or her relationship with Wang Yang.

Even though Wang Yang's wife had simply kept mum about it, it was no different from a lie in Qiao Nan's eyes. With that in mind, she was sure that Wang Yang's wife would never succeed. If she did, she would chop off her own head for Wang Yang's wife!

Wang Yang gripped tightly onto his mobile phone. "How did you know?" How had Qiao Zijin found out about his wife getting close to Qiao Nan?

"It's not important how I found out.. You should ask who told me about it. Wang Yang, do you really think Qiao Nan is a fool? Do you think she's as easily taken in as a three-year-old toddler?"
