Chapter 579

Wu Laoyezi was also a hero of his time.

Mentioning him in Jiangnan, there was no one who didn't know him.

This man had a brain when he was young, and starting from scratch, he was able to build the Wu family into the number one family in Jiangnan, which was enough to show that his ability was extraordinary.

But after all, people cannot defeat age and time. Ever since Wu Laoyezi retired to the second line due to poor health, the Wu family had actually begun to go downhill.

But no one expected that during this period, the entire Wu family would decline so rapidly.

This caused Wu Laoyezi to suffer greatly.

First, starting from his second grandson, a perfectly good young man, a proud son of heaven, suddenly contracted that unspeakable strange disease.

Then it was his eldest son and his eldest grandson, who were humiliated in Jin Ling and lost all face.

Even a pair of clown-like father and son in Jin Ling dared to record videos on the Internet mocking, slandering, and insulting the Wu family.

From that time on, successive blows made his health go from bad to worse. But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of a nightmare.

What he couldn't accept the most was that the reputation of the Wu family had suffered a devastating disaster some time ago.

As a top family, the Wu family actually had an ambiguous and unclear relationship with the notorious Beggar Gang, and it was even reported that they secretly supported the Beggar Gang and had a kinship with them. This caused the reputation of the Wu family to hit rock bottom. That time, the damage to Wu Laoyezi was extremely great, and it was also that time he had a stroke and fainted, not waking up for several days.

Today, he finally woke up slowly, but his physical and mental state were no longer what they used to be, and he showed a state of exhaustion as if he were terminally ill.

Wu Donghai and his brothers, as well as their descendants, rushed to the family ward.

When they saw Wu Laoyezi at this time, everyone showed horror.

No one expected that Wu Laoyezi's complexion and spirit would be so poor now, and he looked like an old man who had entered his twilight years and could pass away at any time.

Wu Donghai looked at his father at this time, and couldn't help but feel a burst of shame. He couldn't help but whisper, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Wu Laoyezi looked at Wu Donghai, his eyes full of anger.

He gasped violently for a few breaths, then cursed inarticulately, "You... you prodigal thing! Look at the woman you married, look at your damn brother-in-law! He ruined our Wu family!"

Wu Donghai said with great shame, "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

"Sor... sor... sorry?!" Wu Laoyezi stammered these words, gritting his teeth, "Half a lifetime of my hard work ruined in your hands... you... you tell me sor... sorry, what's... what's the use!"

As he spoke, Wu Laoyezi coughed violently because he was too excited.

"Cough cough... ah... cough cough..."

Wu Donghai hurriedly stepped forward to help the old master soothe his chest.

Wu Laoyezi struggled to push him away and said coldly, "I started a business for decades and encountered countless enemies in the shopping mall. I didn't expect to be defeated by my own son in the end..."

Wu Donghai's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was also filled with great shame and regret.

He had loved his wife, Xue Yaqin, all his life, but he didn't expect Xue Yaqin to give him such a "big gift."

If her brother hadn't already been killed, he would have wanted to tear her brother into pieces!

But regret has no meaning, otherwise, the Wu family wouldn't have reached this point today.

Wu Laoyezi looked at him and questioned coldly, "Where is that woman surnamed Xue now?"

Wu Donghai hurriedly said, "Dad, Yaqin has been locking herself in her room during this time, washing her face with tears every day."

"Washing her face with tears?!" Wu Laoyezi gritted his teeth, "For such a woman, you still haven't kicked her out of the house, what's the use of keeping her? Do you have to wait until the entire Wu family is ruined by her before you wake up?"

Wu Donghai's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained, "Dad, this matter can't blame Yaqin. It's her brother who didn't do human things. She and I are both victims."

"Slap!"

No one expected that the weak Wu Laoyezi would directly slap Wu Donghai.

Wu Laoyezi was shaking with anger and said coldly, "A real man should be decisive! If you are not decisive, you will surely suffer from it! Why was I able to build the Wu family step by step to its peak? Not only because I was more decisive than anyone else when moving forward, but also because I was more determined than anyone else when retreating! But look at you, not only do you lack the courage and spirit to cut off the tail to survive, but you are dragging your broken limbs and struggling. You must know that if you bind yourself, you are not only harming yourself, but the entire Wu family!"

Wu Donghai said embarrassedly, "Dad, Yaqin has been with me for so many years, how can I kick her out of the house at this time? If it spreads, what will others think of me, what will they think of the Wu family? How will I behave in the future?"

Wu Laoyezi looked at him with disdain and snorted coldly, "Do you think that if you don't kick her out, your reputation won't be damaged? The reputation of the Wu family won't be damaged? The whole world knows that Xue Nanshan is your wife's brother, the whole world knows that he is your brother-in-law, and the whole world knows that his Beggar Gang is supported by you behind the scenes. Now that he is dead, you still keep that woman. The world will only scold you, Wu Donghai, for being obsessed and not realizing it!"

Wu Donghai was shocked by the scolding.

Before this, he really hadn't thought of this level.

If it comes to planning strategies and winning thousands of miles away, he is far behind Wu Laoyezi.

So many things, if Wu Laoyezi didn't point them out, he might not realize them in his life.

Thinking of this, he was already sweating profusely.

Only then did he realize what kind of bad influence keeping his wife at home would have on the entire family.

So he gritted his teeth and said to Wu Laoyezi, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Wu Laoyezi slowly closed his eyes, sighed, and opened them after a long time, saying, "Tell me, what has happened recently?"

Wu Donghai hurriedly told Wu Laoyezi everything that had happened during this period.

After listening, Wu Laoyezi's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

He looked at Wu Donghai and asked coldly, "A mere Mount Changbai, a mere pair of father and son picking ginseng on Mount Changbai, let you lose the lives of more than twenty people twice?!"

Wu Donghai hurriedly explained, "Dad, actually, the second time, I wanted to ask the Eight Heavenly Kings to take action, but they told me they only listen to your orders, but you hadn't woken up at that time, so I had no choice but to send people over first."

Wu Laoyezi slapped him again. Wu Donghai covered his face but didn't dare to say a word.

After slapping him, Wu Laoyezi said coldly, "The father and son at the foot of Mount Changbai are living people. What is the difference between grabbing them back today, grabbing them back next week, and grabbing them back next month?"

"Could it be that if you don't grab them back today, they will die next week? If they were so easy to die, the opponent wouldn't have sent so many people to guard them in that godforsaken place of Mount Changbai."

"Since that's the case, what are you, this useless thing, in such a hurry for?"
