Chapter 241 Wu Family Crisis
Chapter 241 Wu Family Crisis
Wu Tao received a call from his mother, Liu Lan, while he was seeing a patient in his clinic.
Seeing that it was his mother calling, he called her back immediately after prescribing the medicine for the patient.
"Xiao Tao, your grandfather hasn't been feeling well lately. He wants to see you, so remember to come as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
"Xiao Tao, how have you been lately? Your dad misses you a lot. He regrets leaving Xiao Chuan at home in the first place."
Liu Lan, the mother, spoke cautiously on the other end of the phone. Wu Tao did not give her the response she wanted to hear; they simply chatted for a few words before hanging up.
Speaking of Wu Tao's grandfather, he truly loved Wu Tao. Compared to Wu Chengzhi and his ilk who schemed for business interests, the old man was very clear about his likes and dislikes.
Knowing that Wu Tao had been replaced and was thus stranded, he immediately turned hostile towards Wu Xiaochuan.
Just like someone said, whoever benefits is the mastermind. Since Wu Tao was replaced, then Wu Xiaochuan, who benefited, is the one who got the advantage.
So his parents were the masterminds behind this. Their own grandson was sold to a small mountain village and suffered for so many years, while the child of their enemy was able to enjoy wealth and luxury in the Wu family for so many years.
The thought of how the old man could still like Wu Xiaochuan, even though he used to dote on this eldest grandson, was unbearable.
But a fake is a fake, not to mention that the other party's parents were the masterminds who harmed their own grandson.
The old man served in the army in his early years, later founded a company, and became a billionaire by taking advantage of the times.
The old man never engaged in speculative or harmful businesses throughout his life.
Later, as he got older, he handed over the family business to Wu Chengzhi and has been enjoying his retirement in the old house ever since.
After Wu Tao was found, the old man personally arranged for Wu Tao to stay with him in the old house for several months.
Later, in order to cultivate a relationship with his parents, the original owner chose to return to Wu Chengzhi's home.
The original owner was constantly targeted by Wu Xiaochuan at home, and later even chose to commit suicide.
Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan always thought these were just children playing around, but they overlooked the feelings of their biological son who had just been found.
Or rather, they are essentially more concerned with their own interests, but they insist on saying it's because both sides are equally important to them.
If Wu Xiaochuan hadn't lived up to expectations, they certainly wouldn't have continued to take him in as they do now.
Now, as Wu Tao's fame continues to spread, Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan are also hoping to influence Wu Tao with family affection.
Even Wu Xiaochuan was arranged by Wu Chengzhi to live in a villa in the suburbs, with the excuse that the house was closest to the company, making it convenient for him to go to the company to help.
In reality, Wu Chengzhi knew that Wu Tao was at odds with them, and his biggest grudge was against Wu Xiaochuan.
If Wu Xiaochuan had stayed at home, Wu Tao would never have come back.
Even Wu Lingling, who had always been indifferent to Wu Tao, was recently forced by her parents to leave home.
Previously, when Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan saw Wu Lingling's lukewarm attitude towards Wu Tao, they only said a few words to encourage the siblings to love each other.
Originally, what Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan most hoped to see was that their three children could work together, be friendly and respectful to each other, and live happily together.
Now they seem to realize they were wrong. The most capable person in the Wu family is not Wu Xiaochuan, but Wu Tao, their biological son. So the two of them hurriedly want to make amends.
The first step is to arrange for Wu Xiaochuan to stay at the house in the suburbs, exploring the infinite possibilities of urban novels, all within the category navigation. The second step is to have Wu Lingling apologize to Wu Tao and ease tensions.
It was discovered that Wu Lingling still hasn't realized her mistake, and instead keeps standing up for Wu Xiaochuan.
This completely enraged Wu Chengzhi, and even Wu Lingling was kicked out of the house.
Wu Lingling felt she was very successful in her career and had no intention of inheriting the Wu family business. In any case, her parents would leave her a portion of the shares and assets anyway, so why should she lower herself to please a stranger with whom she was only related by blood?
Wu Lingling was not unaware of Wu Tao's reputation, but so what? She had already decided in her heart that Wu Xiaochuan was her younger brother.
From the moment her younger brother Wu Tao, who grew up in the countryside, returned, she felt that the once spirited Wu Xiaochuan was now subservient and humble at home.
Wu Lingling didn't consider herself the kind of person who would despise the poor and love the rich, but she couldn't bear to see Wu Xiaochuan suffer.
Adding to the fact that Wu Tao had just returned, he made things difficult for Wu Xiaochuan in every way. Wu Lingling felt that he was indeed from the countryside and was taking advantage of being her biological son to make things difficult for Wu Xiaochuan.
If Wu Tao returns and takes the initiative to please Wu Lingling and Wu Xiaochuan, then she might change her opinion of him.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate it and even tried to drive Wu Xiaochuan away by taking advantage of their blood relationship. Clearly, the other party was a stranger in the family, while Wu Xiaochuan had practically grown up with her.
Wu Lingling's resentment towards Wu Tao grew stronger, and now her parents were even pressuring her to go to Wu Tao to mend their relationship.
Wu Lingling felt that her parents had really changed; they weren't like this before. Wu Lingling missed the happy family life of the four of them and became increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Tao's sudden appearance.
Wu Lingling even wished that Wu Tao had died out there and never appeared.
Wu Lingling had no idea what had happened in her family recently. Wu Tao's identity was an open secret among those powerful families.
Originally, everyone thought they could befriend Wu Tao by getting acquainted with the Wu family, since a divine doctor was too important to a large family.
Unfortunately, Wu Tao himself didn't need them to do anything. Wu Tao had a fixed income of several hundred million every year, and he stayed at the clinic every day, behaving himself.
Those powerful families had little chance to develop a personal relationship with Wu Tao.
Although Wu Tao would come to serve the members regularly every three months, he always acted in a businesslike manner. He seemed close, but in reality, he was very distant.
Who wouldn't want a friend who's a miracle doctor? It's a matter of life and death for the whole family.
Until they learned that Wu Tao came from the Wu family, a third-rate family.
Just when everyone was thinking of increasing their influence with Wu Tao by cooperating with the Wu family, they learned that the Wu family was treating Wu Tao very badly because of an adopted son.
From a fair perspective, Wu Chengzhi doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Many large families, whose own children are not successful, will adopt sons or find a capable son-in-law to manage their businesses.
The problem is that everyone wants to curry favor with Wu Tao now, so we need to change our approach to the Wu family.
Considering that Wu Tao is, after all, a member of the Wu family, it would be unacceptable to bankrupt the Wu family directly. What if Wu Tao resents his parents but still cares about them in his heart?
That way they might do more harm than good, and with that concern in mind, everyone ended up choosing to cause some minor trouble for the Wu family.
As long as we don't force the Wu family into bankruptcy, and as long as Wu Tao steps forward and says something, everyone is ready to offer the Wu family the best cooperation plan at any time.
Not only will it allow the Wu family to reach a new level, but it will also allow them to accept Wu Tao's favor.
