Finally, she realized she was going to negotiate. Meng Fuyan said resentfully, "It's simple. Tell me, are Wu Chengjia, Wu Chengye, Wu Siyu, and that Wu Meixiang all your biological children? Before you married my mother, you had an affair with Zhang Guilan and had three children with her, didn't you?"
Wu Guozhu stared at Meng Fuyan with a sinister look in his eyes. He thought that with the two old geezers of the Meng family dead, he would have achieved his goal and everything in the Meng family would be his.
Who knew that Meng Suqin, a woman, would be far more difficult to deal with than imagined?
After Meng Suqin died, he thought he could finally relax. Although his daughter was noisy and uncontrollable, she would never amount to anything. Zhang Guifang signed her up to go to the countryside, and he tacitly agreed. It was just as good to leave Changning City and send her to a remote rural area to deal with her. Who knew that such an accident would happen? This daughter is just as difficult to deal with at such a young age.
At this moment, he really wanted to tell Meng Fuyan that all of this was true, that those were all his children, his own flesh and blood, and that the Meng family was nothing but a stepping stone for him. The Meng family she was so proud of, and her mother, were nothing but stepping stones for him.
He wanted to see her grieve, to see her anger, to see her heartbroken, resentful, and regretful in the face of failure, yet helpless against him.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare!
He dared not admit to such a huge incriminating fact.
Wu Guodong knew he couldn't say, so he could only deny it, "Yanyan, how could you think like that? They really have nothing to do with your father, they are just..."
“Since they have nothing to do with Dad, they are outsiders. A group of outsiders came to hurt my brother, and I will never let them get away with it. I originally thought that Dad had a relationship with Zhang Guilan before he got married and had these children. I could barely let them go because of the blood relation. I didn’t expect Dad to be so unwilling to acknowledge them. Since that’s the case, then I have nothing to say. They are just a group of outsiders. It is only natural to retaliate.”
After saying that, Meng Fuyan turned and left.
Wu Guodong stood there stunned, "Hey! Yanyan... Yanyan..."
In the guesthouse, Wu Guozhu was so angry that he kept smashing things, including his water cup, which he was drinking from.
Ta-da!
The cups of that era weren't made of glass; they were mostly enamel mugs, which were unbreakable. When they were smashed on the ground, they bounced a few times, making a jarring sound.
Wu Guozhu was truly furious at this moment!
"That wretched girl, I shouldn't have kept her alive in the first place. I should have let her die with her mother!"
Seeing that he had lost his temper, Wu Guodong frowned. "Keep your voice down. What are you saying? Meng Suqin is a tough woman to deal with. If you had dared to touch her daughter back then, she would have dragged you down with her even if it meant her death!"
Wu Guozhu sneered, "What's so great about them? No matter how powerful they are, aren't all those people from the Meng family dead? Didn't everything the Meng family own fall into my hands, Wu Guozhu's hands?"
Wu Guodong glanced at him, almost rolling his eyes.
"Alright, stop basking in your self-admiration. What of the Meng family's property did you actually obtain?"
"You seem to have gained everything over the years, but you don't actually hold much in your hands. The Meng family's mansion is in Meng Fuyan's hands, as is the rent from the old house. Meng Fuyan had Lu Jianjun protecting her back then, and her mother even arranged a job for her before she died. Can an ordinary person get that kind of job? Even if our Wu family's children risked their lives, they couldn't get such a good future."
"You've only been able to gloat these past two years because Meng Suqin is dead. If she were alive, your children would still be living in the shadows. Are you really that powerful as the deputy factory director? With just one word from Meng Suqin, your children would never be able to get into the machinery factory."
After his children grew up, Wu Guozhu always wanted to find them jobs. Where in Changning City could he find the best job?
Of course, it's a machinery factory.
This is one of the top factories in the entire south. Everyone is eager to get in. Once you get into the machinery factory, you'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life. Family housing complexes are being built one after another, and a new batch of family housing complexes will be completed next year.
His children are all entitled to a house once they get married.
With such a promising future, he naturally wanted to get his child accepted.
But in the past, when Meng Suqin was alive, he couldn't do it. Only after she died could his child come in.
Does Wu Guozhu hate it?
He hated it so much!
Wu Guozhu was panting heavily. "Then tell me, what should I do? That bitch is deliberately going against me, what can I do? I have several grown children here, I can't just ignore them."
Wu Guodong was also very troubled.
Indeed, if it were just Wu Siyu, the loss would be painful but not unbearable. But these are all the adult children. Are we just going to give up like this?
"Meng Fuyan is, after all, your daughter. As the children of the first wife, how could they not dislike their stepmother's children? Why did you end up like this with her? She's a girl, and you're showing her some favoritism. She'll be getting married soon. Why do you have to suppress her?"
"If you ask me, you're just brainless. That girl is beautiful, from a good family, has a good job, and has so much inheritance. If you arrange a good marriage for her, wouldn't that be helping her? Her stepmother is making things difficult for her, and you can just play the good guy in the middle."
"But you, knowing full well that she has a bad temper and is difficult to control, still insist on suppressing her. No wonder she turns against you."
Wu Guozhu roared angrily, "She's not my daughter, who would know she..."
"How do you know she's not your daughter? Are you so sure? Besides, she doesn't know she's not your daughter. As long as you don't tell, she'll never know this secret. Such an excellent daughter is the best tool for a marriage alliance, yet you insist on destroying her with your own hands. Meng Fuyan was right when she said something: Who is Zhang Guifang? Why are you protecting her so much? A middle-aged woman who has given birth to so many children, are you afraid of her?"
"If you can't even handle this, no wonder people look down on you as their father!"
Wu Guozhu was about to yell again in anger, but Wu Guodong quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. I won't say anything more, okay? Anyway, it's already happened, so you decide what to do."
Wu Guozhu said angrily, "What can I do? The Cheng family members are all in jail, I can't just ignore them. But the Gu family and the Song family are both difficult to deal with. If Meng Fuyan doesn't give in, I can only..."
Wu Guodong looked at him and said, “That’s right. You have to make a choice. Either you try to mend your relationship with Meng Fuyan and give up on the Cheng family members, or you can’t protect Siyu. But the Cheng family members might get out, and Meixiang might get out too, but they will likely stay in jail for a while before they can get out. This will tarnish their lives, and they won’t be able to get promoted or get married. In the future, you will only be able to use these resources on Meng Fuyan and Meng Yunji. The triplets are too young and have no value for now.”
"Either you want to protect the Cheng family members and completely offend Meng Fuyan, that girl is ruthless and good at making connections. She's only been in the countryside for three months and she's already befriended Gu Tingzhi. In the future, she definitely won't be under your control. If you don't want to be backfired on, you'll have no choice but to... get rid of her completely!"
