Chapter 1918: You’re Welcome

Taking this brat in had led to the little jewel of the Wu family suffering such a tragic fate.

“Dad!”

Noticing that something was wrong, Wu Jingmin cried out in surprise and ran to Elder Wu to check his pulse. With a horrified expression, she picked up her phone and dialed a number to make a call.

“Third Aunt, I’ll do it.”

Nuannuan interrupted Wu Jingmin before she could make the call. She placed her hand over Elder Wu’s chest and massaged the area, her fingers quickly dispersing the blood that had accumulated in his heart. Then, she promptly performed her acupuncture treatment.

Wu Pingting had been crying her heart out. However, when she saw that her woe had led to her grandfather suffering from a heart attack, she no longer dared to cry. She obediently sat on the edge of the bed and watched as Nangong Nuannuan performed acupuncture on him.

The entire family had solemn expressions on their faces. It was only when Elder Wu’s face gradually regained its color did any of them feel relief.

Three minutes later, he regained consciousness. He took a sharp breath and opened his eyes.

“Dad, you’re awake? How do you feel? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”

Looking at the few silver needles sticking out of his chest, Elder Wu shook his head. He answered, “I feel much better already. Nuannuan, thank you.”

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “Elder Wu, Pingting is my friend, and any grandpa of my friend is also my grandfather. There’s no need to be so formal with me.”

Elder Wu glanced at the man lying on the ground. He could not help but say, “When Zongxu was two years old, he was brought home by my eldest son and adopted into the family. Although he knew that he was adopted, our family has always been very good to him. We’ve never looked down on him or treated him poorly just because he isn’t blood-related. He had everything that Zongyang had. I really can’t believe that after taking such good care of him, we ended up raising a monster! Pingting, it’s Grandpa who’s let you down!”

Wu Pingting quickly responded, “Grandpa, you haven’t let me down! None of us could have guessed that he would turn out like this. Nuannuan was right about one thing—it’s better that we see his true colors now rather than later. We treated him like family, but he never saw us as family. To keep me by his side, he found people to take turns harming me. He would rather have me completely destroyed than watch me be happy with someone else. He’s clearly committed many sins, yet he still pretends to be a saint. He’s just like Xu Yunyun, a cruel pervert! In fact, he’s even more horrid than Xu Yunyun! My best friend and my own brother were both were willing to plot against me for no good reason. Fortunately, they weren’t plotting my demise this time. If one day they felt like my death would be the best thing for them, I might have fallen victim to their dark minds. So, Grandpa, we should be glad that they were partners in this plot. I now know that I have to watch out for them in the future.”

Looking at Wu Pingting, Elder Wu could not help but nod in agreement. Even though he was angry, he said to Wu Pingting and Wu Zongyang, who were standing by his sister’s side, “You two are good children! The sons and grandsons of our Wu family are good children. As long as all of you stay pure and don’t grow crooked, Grandpa will have not disappointed our Wu ancestors!”

“Grandpa, don’t worry. Although the Wu family only has me and my brother, we will definitely do our family’s lineage proud.”

“Good, good, good!!!”
