Chapter: 1268

Wu Laotian was once an unparalleled hero in his prime.

In Jiangnan, nobody didn't know him, and nobody wasn't aware of him.

This person was young and had a bright mind, able to build up the Wu family into the first family in Jiangnan from scratch. It's evident that this person has extraordinary abilities.

However, as humans are bound to be defeated by time and age, after Wu Laotian retired due to his physical condition, the Wu family actually started going downhill from then on.

No one would have thought that the Wu family would fall so quickly during this period.

This left Wu Laotian in unbearable agony.

Firstly, it was his grandsons who suffered, a good young man, a proud son of heaven, suddenly contracted an incurable disease.

Then it was his sons and grandsons who were insulted and humiliated in Jinling.

Not even the pair of beggar-like father and son dared not to record videos mocking, criticizing, and belittling the Wu family online.

From then on, a series of blows struck him, making his physical condition deteriorate further. But he didn't think that was just the beginning of a nightmare.

What hurt him the most was that during this period, the Wu family's reputation suffered a catastrophic disaster.

As a top-tier family, it was unbelievable that the Wu family would be entangled with notorious gangs, even having close family relationships with them. It was revealed that they secretly supported the gang and had kinship ties with them. This once caused the Wu family's reputation to plummet to rock bottom, causing immense damage to Wu Laotian, who then suffered a stroke, remaining unconscious for several days.

Today, he finally woke up with a sense of languor, but his physical and mental states were far from what they used to be. The whole person showed a state of fatigue that was like a disease that had taken hold.

Wu Donghai's brothers and their descendants hurriedly arrived at the family's sickroom.

When they saw Wu Laotian's current state, each of them had a shocked expression on their face.

No one expected that Wu Laotian's complexion and spirit would be so bad right now. The whole person looked like an old man who was about to depart from this world at any moment.

Wu Donghai gazed at his father's current state and felt ashamed in his heart. He couldn't help but softly call out, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Wu Laotian looked at Wu Donghai with eyes full of anger.

He took a few deep breaths, then muttered unclearly, "You...you're the scum of our family! Look at the woman you married, look at that good-for-nothing son-in-law! He's ruined our Wu family!"

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

"Sorry...sorry...sorry?" Wu Laotian stammered and spat out the words, his teeth clenched in anger. "I've spent half my life building up our family's reputation, and you've ruined it all with your own two hands! You...you tell me what good is saying sorry for?"

As he spoke, Wu Laotian was so agitated that he kept coughing violently.

Wu Donghai hurriedly approached and tried to comfort his old grandfather's chest.

Wu Laotian struggled and pushed him away, speaking coldly: "I've spent decades building up our family's reputation, encountering countless enemies in the business world, never expecting to be defeated by my own son..."

Wu Donghai's eyes welled up with tears, his heart filled with unparalleled shame and regret. JrNovels.com
