Chapter 284: Chapter 274 Shameless Without Equal (Two in One Chapter)_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?

My dad raised his father, and haven’t I raised him well too? Now he ought to provide for me, even into my old age, or he’ll be drowned in people’s spit..."

"Tsk tsk, when it comes to shamelessness, no one can beat you. Can you even call that a face? Even city walls aren’t as thick as yours."

Wu Tan was astonished, and the others around gazed at Lu Tianci with peculiar looks. An older person couldn’t help but speak up, "If your parents hadn’t adopted Shitou’s dad, he really might not have starved to death and could have had a better life. In fact, without Shitou’s dad, you might not even be here, you know?"

"You’re talking nonsense." Lu Tianci retorted with a pale face, stubbornly pushing back. The story of Shitou’s dad coming to their family and as a result bringing in Lu Tianci was a common belief in private discussions in the village.

"Whether I’m talking nonsense, ask the village elders and you’ll know. It’s not a secret. Originally, there was another family that wanted to adopt Shitou’s dad, but your parents rushed over and insisted on taking him in.

They swore up and down that they would treat Shitou’s dad well and would even arrange for him to marry your oldest sister. This convinced the village officials, who thought your family was after all in a better position than the other family with a single, lame old bachelor.

Things went well at first, but once you were born, your parents put on a good front in public, but behind the scenes, they stopped treating Shitou’s father like a human. When the truth came out, every official in the village was filled with regret.

If they had known, they would have been better off leaving Shitou’s dad with that old bachelor, who would have made his life a bit stronger." The older person spoke indignantly.

"You all are just saying this because Shitou has made something of himself. You’re twisting the facts. How weren’t my parents good to Shitou’s dad? If they weren’t, would they have arranged for him to marry the prettiest girl in the village?" Lu Tianci began to bluster and lie without blinking an eye.

"I don’t have time to argue with you. Just decide whether you want to make a scene. I’ll let you go, but you should think first whether you’re capable of confronting the old man.

If you decide to make a move, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you’ll bear the consequences. As for the consequences, whether it works out or not, you’re booked for a stay in jail. Think it over, I won’t force you."

Wu Tan stared ominously at Lu Tianci. A person who usually smiled now showed such an expression, which was truly frightening. Lu Tianci, shaken, began to tremble slightly.
