Chapter 284 - 274 Shameless Without Equal (Two in One - )_3
Wu Tan’s laughter became increasingly dangerous, and his warnings more direct and obvious, fearing that the fool before him simply couldn’t understand unless things were spelled out clearly.
"Initially, out of regard for Shitou, we didn’t pursue the matter with you. Not only that, but we also sent you money punctually every three months. You don’t seem to have mentioned that money to your aunt, have you?"
Wu Tan sneered disdainfully, "If I tell your aunt, she can come and collect that money herself in the future. Or better yet, we could start pursuing your past mistakes, report you to the authorities, have you spend a few years in jail, and then, as a matter of course, cancel that sum of money. What then? Do you really think we owe you that money, and that it’s rightfully yours?"
"You, you... How can you be like this?" Lu Tianci pointed at Wu Tan, shivering all over, not knowing whether it was from anger or fear, but it was likely a combination of both.
"Think carefully now. If you really want to go stir up trouble, I’m not opposed to letting you do it, but be clear about the consequences before you act. You surely don’t still believe that, after your parents treated Shitou’s parents the way they did back then, you could surpass them by taking Shitou’s inheritance and enslaving him, only for his grandparents to come knocking on your door in gratitude, do you?"
Wu Tan snorted. The scene at the Gray Rat’s home and the quarrel between Lu Tianci and Yu Xiu had already been reported to him by someone. Although it wasn’t clear what idea Ajuan had put into Lu Tianci’s head, wasn’t his behavior revealing enough?
To be stupid is one thing, but not having any self-awareness is another. There’s a saying that spoiling a child is akin to killing them; his parents had poor judgment, which resulted in them spoiling a complete fool.
Yu Xiu, at least, seemed to have some remorse and knew fear. In contrast, the person before him made you feel like talking was a waste of saliva.
"If my parents hadn’t taken in Shitou’s dad, he would have starved to death long ago." Lu Tianci roared like a trapped beast.
"If he treats me this way now, it’s ingratitude. Don’t think being rich is all that impressive. Shouldn’t wealthy people care about their reputation? I’m starving, can Shitou really just watch and do nothing?
