"Wu Yi, you despicable ingrate! We've helped you in the past, and is this how you treat us in return?" Tang Feng pointed a finger at the fat man and yelled angrily. "If our family hadn't helped you, your entire family of seven would have starved to death! Who were the ones who got your family back on your feet? Now, you're the Fang family's lapdog and stabbing our backs. If I had known this would happen, we shouldn't have helped you!"
Wu Yi was indeed a materialistic bootlicker.
The Wu family used to serve the Tang family. Wu Yi did nothing but follow Tang Weiguo all day and shower flattery upon him just to show how loyal he was. However, when the Tang family was met with a crisis, Wu Yi was the first to turn tail and ally with the Fang family.
"Nonsense! I was the one who brought glory and prosperity to the Fang family. What does it have anything to do with you?" Wu Yi felt no shame when faced with Tang Feng's accusation. Instead, he lifted his chin smugly.
"If I owe anyone a debt of gratitude, it would have to be the Fang family. Young Master Fang has done so much for us, and I owe my life to him!" Wu Yi said. If he had a tail, he would be wagging it too.
"You ingrate!" Tang Weiguo pointed a trembling finger at Wu Yi and yelled, "Back when we trekked across the snowy plains, your father would have died if I hadn't shared half of my pie with him! I don't understand how he would give birth to a bootlicker like you!"
"That's enough, Tang Weiguo. When are you going to stop mentioning that?" Wu Yi frowned and said impatiently. "You've been harping on the same d*mn thing for the past forty years. It's just half a stale pie, isn't it? I'll return it to you then. I brought you two hundred pies today. That should be enough for you to bring to your grave, you old geezer! Hahaha…"
Wu Yi waved his hand, and his servants dumped two huge containers of pies onto the lawn.
That was a brazen act of provocation. In any case, Wu Yi did not mind burning that bridge. The Tang family was already in trouble anyway.
Tang Weiguo was furious. He leaped up and yelled, "I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father! I'll beat you to death!"
