Chapter 195 -196: I’m Not Any Kinder than You_1

The servants by the lakeside had already grabbed the woman, but it was unclear whether the woman was too strong or her emotions too collapsed at the moment, as several people struggled to drag this unruly woman away.

Liu Fu said to Wu Haoli with difficulty, “We told her not to come in, but she snuck in when the servants weren’t looking, and we couldn’t stop her.”

Wu Haoli asked indifferently, “How many times has she been here now?”

Liu Fu quickly replied, “No less than ten times, sir. Since you spend so little time at the mansion, naturally you’ve seldom encountered her. Each time she was sent away, but this time the gatekeeper wasn’t paying attention, and she managed to run inside.”

Wu Haoli glanced in that direction and caught the woman’s hateful gaze, curving his lips slightly, “Bring her in.”

Muniang was very curious, so she didn’t say much and just waited to see how Wu Haoli would handle the matter.

The woman was brought up, her clothes somewhat disheveled and her hair a mess, but it was her bloodshot eyes that were fixed on Wu Haoli, glaring as if she wanted to kill him.

Wu Haoli remained unmoved, his voice calm, “What’s the matter?”

The woman started cursing, “Wu Haoli, you heartless bastard, Old Mr. Wu’s spirit in heaven won’t rest in peace, I am after all your mother, how can you treat me this way? Are you not afraid of divine retribution?”

Muniang was greatly shocked, “Mother?”

Disgust filled Wu Haoli’s eyes, “Don’t speak to me those two disgusting words, ‘mother.’ Do you deserve it? My mother now rests beneath the soil, don’t you dare defile her with your words!”

The woman spat back with venom, “She was nothing but a wretch cast out by Mr. Wu, I am the rightful mistress of this family! When Mr. Wu took you back, you had nothing to do with that wretch from that moment on. How am I not your mother? The old man’s body was not yet cold, and you sold off the family assets and tarnished the family honor, even casting me, your nominal mother, out of the house! You beast, the Wu Family is almost ruined because of you. Mr. Wu should never have softened his heart and taken you back, this ungrateful white-eyed wolf!”

Wu Haoli scoffed coldly, “Softened his heart and took me back? Wasn’t it because your unlucky son got into trouble gambling with a local thug, got himself killed, and that old man, fearing his fortunes would die with him, only then thought of me? What’s the matter? Couldn’t stand living outside for a year? How are you going to repay a lifetime of suffering you and he made my mother endure?”

Muniang had no idea that the Wu Family had such secrets and couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She knew that Old Mr. Wu had died just a year ago, and that Wu Haoli had “squandered all the family wealth” within six months, those thousands of acres of fertile land sold off to Muniang almost as if given away for nothing. So, he was harboring hate after all.

The woman slumped to the ground in defeat, her fierce momentum fading away substantially, and grabbing at Wu Haoli’s trouser legs, she began to cry, “Haoli, ah, I know you hate me. It was wrong of me back then, I shouldn’t have undermined your mother, causing Mr. Wu to cast her out. It was my jealousy, my envy for the position of the principal wife. I indeed made your mother suffer, but haven’t you done enough by now? Shouldn’t your heart be appeased by all this revenge? My daughter, Yin Er, is getting sicker and sicker, she can’t survive without good medicine, I truly have nowhere else to turn. Please, have some compassion and take us back in.”

Wu Haoli’s expression was cold and indifferent, his mouth twitching into a sneer, “Did my mother also beg you like this? Begging you to save my life, even if I wouldn’t return to the Wu Family, at least to spare some money for medicine. But how did you treat her?”

Jin Clan’s face went deathly pale as she recalled the past, how she had sent her underlings to kick Muniang out, and, as for Wu Haoli, who was already on his last breath, she didn’t show the slightest bit of compassion, throwing him out directly and preventing others from informing Old Mr. Wu, effectively cutting off the last lifeline for both mother and son.

Wu Haoli remembered his frail mother, who, struggling to support her own body, carried him from one household to another, begging all day for someone to save her son from a high fever. Finally, a kind-hearted old man rescued them. That year Wu Haoli was seven years old, and he had passed through hell and back, also realizing for the first time just how pitiful his vulnerable self was.

From that time on, he began to devise various ways to become wealthy, and after doing countless jobs, he had saved up enough money to open his own shop by the age of fifteen. His business grew larger and larger until it became the renowned Dongxing Building known throughout the country. However, that ill-fated woman passed away when he was just twelve, having suffered her entire life without experiencing a single day of glory and riches.

When Mr. Wu took Haoli home two years ago, the latter’s heart was filled with hate. There were no other males in the Wu Family because Jin Clan had wielded her ruthless tactics to ensure her own son’s position, resulting in very few concubines within the estate who could bear children. Even if they did give birth, if it was a boy, he would almost always meet with an untimely death.

So, after Jin Clan’s son was beaten to death, Mr. Wu finally remembered his long-abandoned eldest son, Wu Haoli.

“Ha!” Wu Haoli let out a cold laugh, “Since you treated my mother that way back then, you should have anticipated what I would do to you now. Do you think I would be kinder than you?”

Jin Clan suddenly became furious: “Wu Haoli, you’re inhuman! You don’t even care about the life of your own sister, do you really want to drive us all to die? Your mother deserved to die, such a useless woman should have died long ago! You beast, are you hell-bent on ruining the Wu Family? I am going to kill you!”

Wu Haoli looked annoyed and glanced at Liu Fu, who understood immediately and shouted for a few strong lads. They dragged Jin Clan out.

Jin Clan’s agonized curses still echoed in the air, thick with resentment and a sense of powerlessness and sorrow.

Muniang watched quietly, then turned her eyes to Wu Haoli, “When you came back in plain clothes the other day, was it to hold a memorial service for your mother?”

Wu Haoli let out a light laugh, “Yes, it was the anniversary of my mother’s death. Not a single person in the Wu Family knows about it, because my mother’s death had absolutely no influence on the Wu Family.”

From the first time she met him, Muniang knew he was no ordinary man, and even reminded herself to keep her distance. Anyone who is vague is dangerous, but now, Muniang couldn’t find any reason to reject him. After all, he was also a pitiful person.

“Everything is in the past now. Your mother, watching you live well from the heavens, must also be at peace,” Muniang managed to find some words to comfort him.

Wu Haoli looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Not necessarily, last time I went to pay my respects, she scolded me for not bringing a daughter-in-law with me.”

Muniang raised her eyebrows, “How come your mother didn’t scold you for always being so gloomy and odd, no wonder you can’t find a wife?”

Wu Haoli burst into hearty laughter which dispelled the gloom that had previously filled the air, “Talking to you is enough to anger someone to death, if they are in a bad mood.”
