Chapter 031.3: Severing Ties [3]

Wu Sen’s purpose was to pretend to be a good person even after doing bad things to others, all the while drawing a clear line between him and the Wu family.

At this point, Father Wu was simply beyond disappointed with Wu Sen. So, after receiving Wu Sen’s inheritance waiver and going through the legal procedures, Father Wu went to the local paper the next day and published a statement that he had severed his father-son relationship with Wu Sen.

This matter blew up and spread across the internet. And once there, the zeal of the people (water) online (army) was unstoppable. And the fabricated stories dug up from the internet about the ‘truth’ behind the fight for assets that happened in the rich and powerful families was more exciting than the reality of the matter. Things like the ‘true devious nature of the stepson’, ‘the father neglecting the children of his previous wife after remarrying’, and how ‘those who are biased deserve to suffer retribution’.

Though, seeing that the matter was getting bigger and would soon blow out of proportion, the Ouyang family had their people delete the relevant information on the internet. So, this matter ended just like that.

Father Wu and his family had temporarily withdrawn from the elite circle after the family’s assets had been hollowed out. What else could they do to save face? Wu Sen, who stayed in the circle, had a difficult life in the high-society with inevitable fingers pointing at him everywhere.

Of course, this was a passing phase. After all, some people who knew of the truth said that Wu Sen was vicious and merciless. They didn’t necessarily admire his tricks to surpass others. He overturned his old man to break his stepmother, and his younger brothers down. It was unknown how much of the family’s assets he had kept for himself.

In this day and age, the rich were all masters and people were forgetful animals, especially in front of interest. Thus, after this storm passed and Wu Sen’s career improved, many would rush to cooperate with him. After all, who would have a problem with having more money?

Wu Ye savored the taste of the scallions in his mouth and secretly laughed at Wu Sen, who considered himself clever. He really wondered if he would vomit blood in anger when the artificial intelligence was out?

Shift the funding abroad and came back through e-commerce again? Hehe.

“...from now on, I only have two sons, and none of you will ever call him Big Brother again.”

Wu Ye sneered and said, “As if I want to call him Big Brother. In front of me, he gave advice on how to chase Lian Yu, but behind my back, he got together with her and played me for a fool; not to mention everything else that first needs to be settled between us. Sooner or later, I will find them to clearly and thoroughly settle our account.”

Wu Li didn’t know that such a thing happened between them, and his eyes bulged with anger. “I told you Lian Yu was not a good person, but you didn’t believe it. Once you’re fond of someone, you always run off to present them with treasures. Serves you right to be forced to wear a green hat!”

“Can you stop sticking in the knife there?” Second Young Master Wu gnashed his teeth.

“Hmph.” Wu Li continued to drink his porridge with his head down, huffing in anger as he did so. A deep hatred flashed in his eyes, as if he was the one wearing the green hat.

Mother Wu, who had so far been silent, suddenly said, “Don’t worry about things here. I’ll handle it for you.”

Father Wu said nothing, silently acquiescing. After all, even if their father-son relationship is severed legally, Wu Sen was still his son through flesh and blood. It would be most humiliating to Wu Ye if he, their old man, spoke about the fact that his older brother was secretly sleeping with his own girlfriend.

After breakfast, Wu Ye called Pang Zhi and asked him to bring him some compressed biscuits, candy, chocolate, whole milk powder, and snickers from their supermarket. He also asked for the higher calories stuff more than anything else, irrespective of the brand’s taste. It was also better if the stuff had less texts and logos on it.

While Pang Zhi was very curious about Wu Ye’s whereabouts during the time he was missing in the past 20 days, he didn’t ask. He also didn’t question him about why he wanted these things on the phone. He merely wrote down the quantity and requirements and directly went to the warehouse to pick up the goods.

After that, Wu Ye contacted the person in charge of the counterfeit cigarette factory and told him that he would pick up the goods later. The factory had already produced all the goods Wu Ye wanted, but he had been slow in collecting the goods. Had Wu Ye not deposited tens of thousands of yuans there, by now, they would’ve repackaged and sold the goods off.

After contacting them, Wu Ye drove out with cash in hand. The car that he used was still the business car that Pang Zhi had lent to him previously. Pang Zhi, who knew that his family was having a hard time recently, had said that the car was for Wu Ye to drive. Wu Ye was also impolite, so the car had not been returned to Pang Zhi and during the time he was away, his father and mother had been the ones driving the car.

When he arrived at the counterfeit cigarette factory, Wu Ye inspected the goods and asked the person in charge, “If I give you some specific cigarettes cases and cigarettes, can you help me make them?”

It’s not a good thing to sell counterfeit cigarettes without any logos on it all the time. It was easy to arouse people’s suspicion and if that happened, then they couldn’t sell it at a high price. According to the exchange ratio between the crystal nuclei and gold, as long as the price could be raised, even a little bit, then some more money could be earned. The used up capital could be recovered easily.

The person in charge saw that Wu Ye was a big customer, so he tentatively said, “We can imitate the original, but if it’s a specific cigarette case, then the printer needs to make a new template. In terms of price…”

“How much?” Wu Ye looked at him with a smile. His exquisite doll’s face overflowed with killing intent that was cultivated from killing thousands zombies on the battlefield, making the temperature in the dark office seem to have plummeted several degrees.

The hair of the person in charge stood on its ends, cold sweat trickled down his face, as he hastily said, “The price’s still the same! It’s not the first time we’ve dealt with each other, do you think I’m the kind of person who doesn’t keep his words at the sight of money?” Once his words fell, the person in charge looked like he wished to bite his tongue off.

Wu Ye’s smile was unchanged as he patted the person in charge on the shoulder, and said, “That’s good enough. Don’t worry, for the goods I want to order, the tobacco that is used doesn’t need to be as good as the Zhong Hua brand. You won’t lose money over this deal. I’ll bring the sample to you in a couple of days. I’ll go first.”

The person in charge nodded and hurriedly bowed, “Take care, take care.” When Wu Ye drove away from the factory, he wiped the cold sweat on his foreheads and spat.

Damn it. Where on earth did this man come from? I was scared to death.

Turning around, he spotted the two purebred German Shepherds tied by the office door peeing, holding their tails as they huddled together, shivering in fear.

[The author has something to say: Second Young Master Wu’s overbearing side finally leaked out a little. Like.]

[To clarify one point, Second Young Master Wu is not a holy father. Why did Big Brother do this? There will be a reasonable explanation later on.]

[T/N: And...I don’t believe what’s ‘reasonable’ for you will be reasonable for me.]

[E/D: And... that’s so not ‘reasonable’ of you TL-sama.]
