Chapter 364 Farce
Wu Cheng slumped onto the sofa, looking at his father sitting opposite him, feeling an unprecedented sense of heaviness.
Wu's father kept criticizing Wu Cheng's arrogance and failures, his voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire house.
The maid and guard had already left to avoid suspicion, leaving only the four members of the family in the house: Wu Cheng and his wife, Wu's father Wu Yue, and Wu's mother Xu Fang.
Listening to Mr. Wu's incessant scolding, both Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu's faces showed a mixture of reluctance and unspoken words.
The more Wu's father spoke, the more outrageous he became, "How could I have given birth to a son like you! What makes you think you can compare to Lu Yi?"
I can't compare to him in looks, I can't compare to him in skills, and now I can't even compare to him in career!
Putting all that aside, he can't even compare to the wives he gets!
What's Lu Yi's wife like? Huh? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also presentable!
Do you know how much help she has brought to the Lu family?! You only know that his wife's family sells food, but do you know how much wealth their ancestors left behind?
A true alliance is one where two companies can support each other and benefit from each other's strengths!
But look at you, you're not even as good as Lu Yi, and I've found so many young ladies from prestigious families for you, but you insist on marrying a woman who's utterly worthless!
Do you know what people said about me when you got married? They said I must be senile to do something like that!
Li Min, Wu Cheng's wife, shed tears after hearing her father-in-law's words.
Wu's father's words were like whips, lashing her face and tearing away the last shred of dignity left in the family.
But she didn't refute anything, because what Wu's father said was true. She came from an ordinary background and couldn't help Wu Cheng in any way.
Aside from being fairly good-looking and having a gentle personality, there's really nothing else to offer.
She knew who Lu Yi was, and she had even met Lu Yi's wife.
She knew about the subtle competition between Wu Cheng and Lu Yi, so when she saw Lu Yi's wife, she felt a little strange and wanted to secretly compare herself to him.
However, after speaking with Lu Yi's wife, she gave up the idea; she was a completely different person from Lu Yi.
She didn't want to compare herself to her, because it was pointless.
It's one thing for her to know in her heart, but it's quite another for her father-in-law to say it directly to her face.
Even with her good temper, she couldn't stay here any longer after being talked about like that.
She didn't argue, but simply stood up and planned to leave quietly, just like before.
Li Min had just stood up when Wu's mother pulled her back.
Wu's mother pulled her daughter-in-law along, took a deep breath, and then, for the first time in her life, contradicted her husband, "Wu Yue!"
I know what you're angry about. You're angry that you lost face in front of others, and you're angry that you can't brag about it when you go out in the future.
From beginning to end, you never cared what Cheng'er actually liked, nor did you care about the nature of his actions.
You only care about one thing: your face and your self-esteem!
You failed to defeat Lu Ting, so you imposed your unfinished business on Cheng'er and Minmin!
You demand that Cheng'er must beat Lu Yi, and Minmin must be better than Ye Ran.
But what's the point of comparing them? Whether they are better or worse than them, they are all my children!
In my eyes, they are the best!
They will be the ones who take care of us in our old age and see us off when we die. No matter how outstanding other people are, will they even offer you a sip of water?
Wu Yue, I've noticed you're really getting worse as you get older. Can you please wake up and get your act together?
Is your pride more important, or our family?
Wu Yue was taken aback by Xu Fang's question and didn't react for a long time.
What on earth is going on? Xu Fang actually dared to contradict him?!
When Wu Yue finally realized what was happening, an even more embarrassed and angry expression appeared on his face. He never thought that Xu Fang would dare to speak to him like that, especially in front of his son and daughter-in-law!
