Lu Yaohua, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes weakly.

“Why?!”?he wondered.

“Why are these lawyers filing lawsuits for the poor?

How could those people afford to hire such capable lawyers?

And where did this come from?

If they are that capable, why have I never heard of them?”

He could not understand.

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Helpless, he could only stop thinking and turn on the television.

Then he saw a lawyer who was in court today!

He quickly sat up straight and pricked up his ears.

A reporter was asking, “May I know why you chose to help those victims who bought apartments?”

The lawyer gave a perfect smile and said, “Our Themis Law Firm’s motto is to shine the light of justice on the darkness. At the same time, Themis represents law and justice.”

“Then what drove you all to do this? Or did you all take the initiative to come together?”

The reporter continued.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The lawyer answered, “Actually, our boss was the first to notice this issue. He asked us to represent the poor, so we did.”

“It sounds like your boss is rich and imposing. Is he a well-known person?”

“No, but our boss will be famous soon…”

Suddenly, the lawyer’s phone rang. He apologetically walked away and spoke on the phone, “Boss Lu, the matter has already…”

Lu Yaohua hurled the bedside table onto the floor.

Although it was just the first two words, it was enough for him to guess who it was!

Lu Ming!

It was Lu Ming again!

“Why is he always going against me?!”?he agonized.

“And now he is the boss of a law firm?”

He wondered if Lu Ming had any other business that he did not know about.

At the thought that his elder son had countless businesses under his name and had accumulated unfathomable wealth without his knowledge, he could not wait to go back to the past and slap himself several times for showing off in front of Lu Ming!

He widened his eyes.?“If Lu Ming is considered poor, then are there rich people in this world?”?he thought.

He wondered if he would be reduced to such a state if his attitude toward Lu Ming had been slightly better.

“If I had, perhaps I can casually walk into any company now and people will bow and greet me because I am Lu Ming’s biological father!

Then I can ask for as much money as I want or whichever company I want,”?he thought.

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. He had so many good cards in his hands. “How did I end up so badly beaten?

If not for Tang Wenyi, the companies in Lu Ming’s hands would have been mine!”?he thought.

A few years ago, he had thought that the Tang family was very powerful. However, their family was not based in Shanghai but in Beijing. No matter how powerful they were, they could not suppress the local bully here!

Now he could only watch Lu Ming inflict serious damage to his company again and again while he was powerless to do anything.

He felt regretful.

If only time could start over.

Tang Wenyi walked in with the tonic soup that she had just made. When she saw the mess on the floor, she said unhappily, “What are you doing? Why are you throwing a tantrum after waking up?

The doctor said that you can’t let your emotions fluctuate too much now. If this goes on, it will only cause irreparable harm to your body.”

Lu Yaohua said weakly, “I wish I don’t have to open my eyes again for the rest of my life.”

Now that the Lu Corporation was in a mess, he could not wait to die!

Unfortunately, his body was a little too strong.

Tang Wenyi fed him the chicken soup and asked, “What made you say this?”

“Do you know who hired lawyers for those poor people?”

Lu Yaohua suddenly asked.

Tang Wenyi did not care about this. She said casually, “Don’t tell me someone blew the family inheritance to hire them?”

“Lu Ming asked those lawyers to file lawsuits for free.”

Tang Wenyi’s hand inadvertently trembled.

Hot chicken soup was spilled onto Lu Yaohua as he cried out in pain, “Ah! It hurts!”

Tang Wenyi came back to her senses and hurriedly wiped the spill with a tissue.

He looked at his wife and thought to himself,?“How can she be so clumsy that she can’t even feed the soup properly?!”

He was starting to miss Zhang Wenfang a little.

In the past, if he was sick, Zhang Wenfang would know what he wanted with just a hand gesture from him and would busy herself taking care of him.

He wondered why he married such a delicate lady like Tang Wenyi.

Tang Wenyi did not know what he was thinking. If she did, she would lose her temper with him!

“That little bastard, Lu Ming?! How is it possible? Could it be that he paid those lawyers?! Just to destroy us?”

Seeing that she did not believe him, Lu Yaohua sighed and said, “Themis Law Firm is Lu Ming’s property. He did not have to fork out any money. He just needed to say a few words to get this done.”

Tang Wenyi’s eyes widened. “That’s impossible, right?! Why are his businesses everywhere? Someone must be instigating him to do this! I don’t believe that little bastard is so capable!”

He was clearly beneath their feet in the past. She wondered how he had suddenly become so powerful.

She said uncertainly, “Could we have offended the person behind him?”

“But the person behind all this is not related to that kid, Lu Ming. On what basis is he spending so much effort to help him?”

Lu Yaohua questioned.

Tang Wenyi wanted to throw something, but she realized that everything that could be thrown onto the floor had been thrown by Lu Yaohua.

She was so angry that she could only pick up the broken glass and smash it onto the floor again!

“If I’d known that Lu Ming would be so capable, I would have sent someone to eliminate him back then! He has been giving us no end of trouble!

Now the Lu Corporation is suffering severe losses due to tax audits. In addition, the settlement for the lawsuits are adding insult to injury! It has been a long time since I lack money!”

She had grown up in the best circumstances. She could even say that what she lacked the least was money!

But now she lacked money!

Lu Yaohua thought of something and said, “Why don’t you go to Beijing to borrow money from your family?”

“…We can only do this now.”

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Wenyi made up her mind.

“It’s just borrowing some money. My family would not leave him in the lurch, right?”?she thought.

“Moreover, this sum of money is nothing to the Tang family. It’s just a drop in the ocean.”At the thought of this, she felt more confident.

After feeding Lu Yaohua the chicken soup, she went to the adjacent room to clear away the food she had brought. The food had ended up on the floor, in a sorry state.

“Son, what’s wrong with you? Who provoked you?”
