n“No, no, no. This is all a misunderstanding!”

nTang Wenyi tried to explain, “We did it so that the mother and son could live better, that was why, that was why…”

n

n

nLu Ming laughed when he heard this. There was coldness in his voice as he said, “You pushed a drowning person into the water and told him that you did this to save him? Tang Wenyi, even a dog would not believe your words!”

nA few timely barks could be heard outside.

nTang Wenyi suddenly felt like she was being slapped several times by the other party!

nShe flew into a rage out of humiliation. “No matter what, I’m still your mom!”

n

n

n“Mom?”

nLu Ming snorted. “Don’t insult my mom. Are you thinking of my mom now? When I knelt on the ground to beg you on a rainy day years ago, did you think of yourself as my so-called mom?”

nThe more he talked, the more the Victor brothers felt sorry for him.

nA few years ago, he was still a child.

n

n

n“Tang Wenyi actually had the heart to make a child kneel on the ground?” they pondered.

n“And on a rainy day?”

nIt seemed to them that she was forcing Lu Ming to his death!

n“What a vicious heart!” they thought.

n“We were fooled by this person just now?!”

nAnger appeared in the eyes of the two brothers.

n

n

nThis was too much for them!

nIt was not that they had not met bad people before, but at least those people were obviously bad.

nUnlike this couple, who looked kind on the surface but had wicked hearts!

nRyan said sarcastically, “It’s a shame you guys aren’t actors.”

n“With your acting skills, you might be able to get the next Oscar Best Actor award. I think you should stop doing business. It’s hard on you to stay in business.”

nRick added.

nLu Ming felt that this pair of brothers had mastered the concept of yin-yang polarities in China.

nIf Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi had tried to learn, they would have vomited it out a long time ago.

n

n

n“Mr. Lu.”

nHearing that, Lu Yaohua had a glimmer of hope but was immediately stunned.

nIt was Lu Ming that the Victor brothers were looking at.

nRyan and Rick bowed at the same time and said, “Previously, we misunderstood you. We formally apologize to you!”

nLu Ming was actually quite easy to talk to. Seeing that the other party was sincere, he said, “Forget it. Anyway, you were being strung along by those two fools.”

nThe Victor brothers were relieved to see that he was not angry.

nIf they did not apologize, their conscience would not let them off either.

nThe education they received since they were young was to be kind to others.

nHowever, Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi exploited this quality for their own gain.

nRyan handed the documents to Lu Ming and asked tentatively, “I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in becoming our company’s supplier?”

nWhen Lu Ming was investigating Lu Yaohua previously, he had also checked out the Victor brothers’ company.

nIt was considered one of the top companies in America.

nA partnership would bring Lu Ming one step closer to destroying the Lu Corporation. Moreover, this would mean snatching the deal from Lu Yaohua, and he did not mind seeing the other party suffer.

n

n

nBut he was perplexed as to why they gave him the contract so suddenly.

nThen he caught a glimpse of Tang Er.

n“Could it be the Tang family?” he asked himself.

n“Their influence extends to foreign companies too?”

nHe wondered who exactly he had saved.

nHe thought it might be someone from a big family.

nHe muttered inwardly.

nThen he looked at the old butler, who immediately handed him a pen he had prepared. “Please.”

nUnder Tang Wenyi’s murderous gaze, Lu Ming signed his name.

nHe shook hands with Ryan and Rick. “Happy to be working together.”

nBoth sides revealed satisfied smiles.

nAfter all, they felt that they had profited from the partnership!

nLu Yaohua turned paler!

nIt took him so much effort to try to get a pen but Lu Ming got it with just one look!

nLu Yaohua looked at the contract regretfully!

nHe almost succeeded!

nIt was obviously his contract, but now, it was all to Lu Ming’s benefit!

nWhen he thought about how he had been running around and expending money and energy for this matter, his eyes turned dark!

nHe suspected that Lu Ming was messing with him on purpose.

nLu Ming seemed to know what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “You found out?”

nHis every move was within Lu Ming’s line of sight.

nLu Yaohua felt a chill down his spine. “Why?” he asked himself.

nHe wondered why Lu Ming was able to see through his activities.

nIt struck him that perhaps his coming here to discuss the business deal was devised by Lu Ming.

nPerhaps everything that happened now was all part of Lu Ming’s planned course of action.

nIt was to take revenge on him and steal his business!

nHowever, he wondered if Lu Ming really had such means and brains.

nIf it was as he thought…

nHe was covered in goosebumps!

nTo him, Lu Ming was too scary!

nHe looked at Lu Ming like he had never seen this person before.

n“How is this possible?” he wondered.

nHe did not believe that his elder son would become so successful!

nLu Ming knew what his father was thinking. “Yes.”

nLu Yaohua was stunned for a few seconds. “Wh-what do you mean?”

n“It means you’re right. Don’t forget, I’m the boss here.”

nLu Ming said nonchalantly.

nLu Yaohua’s eyes were filled with fear!

nHe had forgotten that!

nIf Lu Ming was the boss, he would have known that he was coming here tonight just by looking at the customer list.

nHe knew that Lu Ming had done this on purpose!

nHe suddenly said with an ugly expression, “Do you know how much I forked out for this business deal? I kept bowing my head to those people, giving them things and money. I was just short of kneeling down and begging them!

nMy dignity is gone. These past few months have been so hectic that I’ve been eating one meal a day instead of three. Sometimes, I only have time to gulp down a few mouthfuls of food. Because of this, my stomach has problems.

nThe doctor also said that if this goes on, my stomach will suffer. I was even admitted to the hospital because of my unbalanced lifestyle. Every day, from the moment I wake up, I’d go around begging for help.

nLittle Ming, give this business to dad!”

nHost, please make one of the following choices:

nOption 1: Remain unmoved. Reward: Media giant, Great Metropolis Daily News. (Top five in the nation, top ranking newspaper in Shanghai, hailed as the last hope of the paper media.)

nOption 2: Feel sorry. Reward: Title ‘Indecisive’.

nOption 3: Offer help. Reward: A halo for being blindsided.

nLu Ming chose option one without hesitation.

n“Why should I let you have it? Isn’t it normal to lose a deal in business? Compared to mom, your suffering is nothing! Mom was vomiting blood and doing cheap handiwork. And you? You’re living in a luxurious house and driving a luxurious car. You have a wife and a son. Aren’t you satisfied?

nYou’re just exhausted and you can’t take it?”

n
