Chapter 245 Wu Family Crisis 5
If this funding is received, then the Wu family can slowly recover through some projects.
Wu Xiaochuan's escape completely cut off the Wu family's escape route.
The bank will definitely not lend money to Wu again, and the suppliers and workers will come knocking on the door to collect debts.
Unless the Wu family receives strong support from a powerful family and no one continues to target them, the Wu family is now in a precarious situation.
In one day, Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan suffered setbacks one after another, and now they have no ideas left.
After accepting the fact that her younger brother, who had grown up with her since childhood, had indeed absconded with the money, Wu Lingling sat there in a daze.
Wu Lingling's mind is now filled with memories of the past, of how Wu Xiaochuan affectionately called her "sister" in front of her.
It seems that before she was a teenager, the other person was only relatively affectionate towards her, but it seems that from the age of twelve, the other person became particularly clingy to her.
For a time, Wu Lingling was extremely pleased with her younger brother, so much so that she unconsciously began to dote on Wu Xiaochuan.
Even after discovering that the other party was not her biological son, and even after that country bumpkin Wu Tao returned, Wu Lingling did not change her attitude towards Wu Xiaochuan.
Wu Lingling even personally bullied Wu Tao for Wu Xiaochuan's sake, and was kicked out of the house by her parents for standing up for Wu Xiaochuan.
Wu Lingling used to think that she was on the side of justice, while Wu Tao, that country bumpkin, always bullied Wu Xiaochuan because of their blood relationship.
Now, the somewhat stubborn face of Wu Tao clearly appeared in Wu Lingling's mind.
It seems that when that country bumpkin first returned to the Wu family, he was particularly attached to her, his older sister.
Unfortunately, the other party made several mistakes, and Wu Xiaochuan would often speak ill of her, so Wu Lingling began to dislike her.
Later, the country bumpkin stopped hanging around her, which made Wu Lingling increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Tao.
However, after thinking it over, Wu Lingling couldn't find any evidence that Wu Tao had done anything to her.
So why did I hate my younger brother so much back then?
Although Wu Lingling is not a kind person, she is not the kind of bully who would take advantage of the weak.
However, her behavior towards her own younger brother was extremely abnormal.
Wu Lingling reflected for a long time and then found the reason from some details.
Wu Tao was just eating normally, but because he ate a little too much, Wu Xiaochuan said that he came from a poor background and would bring shame to the Wu family if he went out.
As soon as Wu Tao arrived at the Wu family home, he took the money and bought several designer clothes, and was then regarded as a vain person.
Wu Xiaochuan clearly has more and more expensive clothes in his wardrobe, so why is she so disgusted by Wu Tao's purchase of just a few items?
Wu Lingling now recalls Wu Tao's expression at the time, which seemed to be filled with embarrassment and shame as he explained that he simply didn't want to continue wearing his old clothes for fear of embarrassing his family.
But at that time, Wu Lingling couldn't be bothered to listen to the other person's explanation. Instead, she assumed that the other person was showing off his status as the young master of the Wu family.
By the way, it seems that ever since Wu Tao came back, Wu Xiaochuan has often said bad things about Wu Tao in her ear.
They said Wu Tao didn't understand the rules, didn't know how to conduct himself in high society, and didn't understand etiquette.
Looking back now, how could a child who grew up in the countryside know these things?
Unfortunately, at that time she believed what Wu Xiaochuan said and began to view Wu Tao with prejudice.
Thinking about this, Wu Lingling wanted to slap herself. He was clearly her own brother, but because she listened to Wu Xiaochuan's words, she started to target him and distance herself from him.
At first, Wu Tao would try to explain and appease her, but later she became silent and started to distance herself from her family.
This made Wu Tao's family even more dissatisfied, and eventually he moved out of Wu's house.
"Mom and Dad, were we both wrong?"
Wu Lingling's words rang out in the quiet living room. Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan, whose expressions had been deathly still, relaxed slightly, as if they too were recalling those past events.
No matter how they explain their initial choice, they still showed some bias in their treatment of Wu Tao.
Even after Wu Chengzhi discovered that Wu Xiaochuan was the son of driver Mei Jibo, it was he who sold Wu Tao to the countryside.
If they truly loved Wu Tao, they should have sent the driver, Mei Jibo, to prison, and Wu Xiaochuan, that usurper, should have been completely expelled from the Wu family.
However, they didn't do these things at the time because they had other plans.
They say Wu Xiaochuan is capable and can help Wu Tao manage the family business, but they probably know best what the truth is.
Compared to their biological son Wu Tao, who had just returned, they still preferred their adopted son Wu Xiaochuan, whom they had raised for over twenty years.
Even their divisive remarks by Wu Xiaochuan influenced them. That's why the director looked at Wu Tao with the feeling that he wasn't as valuable as Wu Xiaochuan, whom he had nurtured since childhood.

No matter how much the Wu family regrets it, it doesn't really help the situation.
The Wu family business went bankrupt and was liquidated very quickly, and even though Wu Chengzhi tried everything he could later, it was to no avail.
Liu Lan and Wu Lingling personally went to Wu Tao's clinic to apologize to him, admitting that they were blind and shouldn't have treated Wu Tao that way.
Unfortunately, the security guards at Wu Tao's clinic were very diligent, and they were unable to see Wu Tao at all.
Wu Tao simply sent a message that everything the Wu family had was the result of their own actions.
When Wu's firm went bankrupt, Wu Lingling returned to the firm only to find her own dismissal letter. In disbelief, she ran to the director's office, where she was once again humiliated.
The other party was very direct: you've offended someone, and we have no choice but to do this for the sake of the law firm.
Wu Lingling had no future at the law firm, and she left in a sorry state with her belongings.
As soon as Wu Lingling returned home, she saw staff members putting up seals on the Wu family's large villa.
Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan were packing their luggage at the door.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"
Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan turned to look at Wu Lingling, and continued tidying up as they spoke.
"The villa has been sealed off, and we've lost everything."
"I'm going to find Xiao Tao. What does he want? Does he really want to force us to die?"
Just as Wu Lingling was about to turn around, a sophisticated woman in a business suit walked in from outside.
"Ms. Wu, you don't need to go see Dr. Wu anymore. I'm here to make arrangements for your funeral."
Wu Chengzhi, Liu Lan, and Wu Lingling all looked at the woman.
The sophisticated woman calmly took some things out of her bag and handed them to Wu Lingling, who was closest to the door.
"Miss Wu, this is the key to a three-bedroom apartment in the west of the city, and this is a bank card."
Dr. Wu will regularly transfer 10,000 yuan into the account every month for living expenses. Dr. Wu said that even though you haven't fulfilled your filial duty to him, he has a responsibility to support you out of blood relation.
Wu Chengzhi, Liu Lan, and Wu Lingling stared blankly as the woman finished speaking and left in her car.
They knew this was Wu Tao's final explanation to them. The biological son and younger brother they had personally pushed out of the house was now supporting them in this way after bankrupting the Wu family.
This method is cruel and devastating.
From now on, the three of them will live in repentance every day, constantly reminding themselves of that one wrong thought they made.
Ten thousand yuan can barely support three people and barely sustain their basic living. That means they wouldn't even have the chance to die if they wanted to.
