Chapter 1955: An Ant’s Nest

Wu Zongxu had always been obedient and sensible. Although he did not share Wu Zongyang’s outstanding reputation and ability to handle matters, he was at least considered a trustworthy family man. No one expected him to display so much hatred at Nangong Nuannuan’s mention of his father.

“Because I hate Wu Jingzhong! And I hate Wu Zongyang! And I hate Wu Maosong! And I hate Wu Jingcheng! I hate everyone in the Wu family besides Pingting!”

“Why do you hate them?”

“I think they’re terrible people! Damn it! They think that because they adopted me, I should be grateful to them forever. My name is Wu Zongxu, while Wu Jingcheng’s son is Wu Zongyang—we even share similar names. People see me as the high and mighty young master of the Wu family… But in reality, what’s the difference between me and the family’s servants?

“After graduating from university, Wu Zongyang joined the Wu group and became vice president at a young age. On the other hand, I, also a descendant of the Wu family, was also allowed to join the group. But I was only appointed as the deputy general manager. They said that since I didn’t have a business management background, I’d have to first work as the deputy general manager, and if I did well, I’d be promoted. How can Wu Zongyang become the vice president of the group upon graduation, while I’m only appointed as the deputy general manager of the branch company?”

“So this is why you hurt your father?”

“Shouldn’t I hate him? He’s the governor of Sea District, so everything that happens here is his responsibility. If the Wu family didn’t have him, could they have become the number one noble family in Sea District? Whenever he treated me like his own son, he wouldn’t let me be bullied or looked down on. The Wu group relied on his protection to develop and grow. He’d pretend like me and Wu Zongyang were equally favored, or at least, I wasn’t too disfavored. Even though I’m his adopted son, we’ve gone through a formal adoption procedure. I should also have some Wu group shares! But as my father, he didn’t do anything for me.

“He didn’t give me a chance to prove myself. I don’t have hundreds of millions in assets. If I marry Pingting, I won’t be able to hold my head up high when I walk with her. I can’t give her the life she wants or deserves, which makes me very sad.”

“So you set a trap for your father? Did you think about the fact that if you successfully set him up but still didn’t get appointed as the governor, you’d be even worse off?”

“No! I won’t be worse off,” Wu Zongxu responded firmly.

“Why?”

“Because I’ll get into politics. I’ll work up to becoming the governor. They say that my father’s old-fashioned and inflexible, but many people put their hopes on him. If I can bring him down, I’ll be a huge deal. There’ll be people in the executive hall who can help me with my goals.”

When the Wu family heard this, they did not know what to think of Wu Zongxu.

He was selfish, greedy, narrow-minded, and sinister. Above all, he was stupid!

He had been fooled by outsiders, and he had in turned fooled the Wu family, even as an outsider.

Thinking about how family’s hundred-year-old foundation had almost been destroyed by this cold-blooded poisonous snake, Elder Wu could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

It was said that everyone carried the weight of life on their shoulders until the day they died. The Wu family had gotten used to having a smooth life over the years. They felt like there was no force in Sea District strong enough to shake their powerful foundation. Elder Wu never thought that a thousand-mile-wide dam could be destroyed by a mere ant’s nest. Many heroes and powerful organizations in history were not destroyed by the enemy but instead by someone from the inside.
