âHeâll only return to prison after heâs had enough fun. The few lives he has on him arenât enough to make him repent. If the outside world finds out that I saved you, do you think our Lu Ming Corporationâs reputation will plummet? Lu Ze, youâre very lucky to have the Tang family as your backer.â
Lu Ming said with a faint smile, âBut at the same time, youâre very unlucky because you met me.â
âHow did you know what I was thinking?â
The air in the ward froze. The old master looked at his silly grandson and felt that he was hopeless! He was completely led by the nose by Lu Ming. No matter what he said, Ah Ze would answer. It was as if he had gone to prison and had left his brain there! Look! This was the child that No. 3 had taught!
He didnât take after him at all. Instead, his intelligence was very similar to No. 3âs! Both of them were idiots! He wondered what kind of sin his Tang family had committed to encounter No. 3. His grandsonâs life was hanging by a thread, yet he was still thinking about such nonsense. He was really courting death!
Tang Wenyi said with an ugly expression, âLu Ming, you better be polite! This entire hospital belongs to the Tang family. If you anger us, you can forget about leaving here unscathed today! Hurry up and hand over the medicine! I donât think you want to make things too ugly, right?â
She paused for a moment and continued, âMy Tang family is a wealthy family after all. As long as we say a few words, do you know how many companies will be eager to cut ties with you? If you cooperate well, I might let you off.â
Her initial nervousness and worry disappeared. She was fearless because of Old Master Tang! Lu Ming was indeed powerful, but even if a certain big shot came, he had to give Old Master Tang some face! So what if Lu Ming was here? In her opinion, the Lu Ming Corporation was still a long way from being comparable to the Tang family. Moreover, the other partyâs backer, Tang Mingkun, did not come.
Wouldnât he still be at her mercy?
Lu Ming was not surprised by this. On the contrary, he no longer had any expectations for the Tang familyâs character. Since ancient times, bad people always acted in collusion with one another. He said with a smile, âI thought that your IQ would be better after you returned to the Tang family. I didnât expect you to become more and more backward. Youâre still as naive as ever!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis makes me curious about how Old Master Tang taught you. Youâre not afraid of being laughed at if people hear about it. No, I think those people have probably laughed enough, right?â
His sarcastic attitude made Tang Wenyi even angrier. She said, âNone of your business!â
At the side, Lu Ze suddenly felt an itch in his throat. He couldnât help but cough a few times. Blood stained the blanket like a plum blossom. This frightened him! Was he going to die? An inexplicable panic was instantly magnified countless times. He⦠hadnât lived enough!
......
He gripped the bedsheets tightly and stared at Lu Ming. A glint appeared in his gray eyes. This was his last hope! In the next second. He said weakly, âSave me⦠Save me⦠Lu Ming⦠You canât leave me in the lurch!â
âOh, youâre quite energetic.â
Lu Ming put on a helpless expression. According to the results of their laboratory experiments, it would be very difficult for ordinary people in Lu Zeâs condition to stay conscious. Could it be that this guyâs desire to live was too strong? Actually, apart from that, there was another important factorâthe Tang family had sent the best medicine to this hospital to let Lu Ze last longer!
âThis is the third time Iâve said this, right? If you want to beg someone, you should have the attitude of begging someone. You were the ones who invited me here. Itâs not that I insisted on giving you the medicine. Could it be that Third Miss Tang thinks that her status is more important than her biological son? If it were anyone else, I might be stunned. If it was youâ¦
âThatâs normal.â
Tang Wenyi was instantly enraged. Before she could do anything, she was beaten awake by the old masterâs walking stick! She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, âWhy did you hit me? Why did you make me lose face in front of Lu Ming for no reason?â
âIf I donât hit you, youâll only do worse. Besides, whatâs the point of saving face at a time like this?â
Lu Ze was focused on surviving. He couldnât care less about what the two people beside him were whispering about. He said humbly, âMom! Hurry up and apologize to Lu Ming! What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and apologize!â
âHuh?! Why should I?â
Tang Wenyi blurted out. The contempt and disdain in her eyes did not even disappear completely. From time to time, she would look at Lu Ming as if she was sizing up trash, as if she would be contaminated if she looked at him for another second. But why would Lu Ming tolerate her? He was not Lu Yaohua.
âThird Miss Tang, I can help you dig out the eyes that you donât need. Otherwise, I donât know who youâre showing this face to. Also, let me remind you out of kindness. Iâm patient, but I only have a little for you. If you anger me, the Tang family might not be able to protect you.â
The sudden burst of coldness made Tang Wenyi feel as if she had fallen into an icehouse. Her limbs quickly became numb. Such a powerful aura⦠She had only seen such a powerful aura on the old master. No, perhaps he was even stronger than her father! No, it was impossible, right?! After coming to this conclusion, she shook her head hard in her heart. This bastard would not amount to great things. He was just a stepping stone for her.
How could he be as powerful as he thought?
Just as she was drowning in fear, she heard her sonâs hoarse voice again. âMom! Do you want me to live or not? Donât you always say that everything you do is for me? Are you lying to me? Mom! Apologize!â
Lu Ze looked disappointed. He didnât expect his mother to be so stupid as to insist on being stubborn at such a time! If he lost his life, what hope would Tang Wenyi have in her life? Did she know that his survival was the most important thing now?
The old man nudged his third daughter. âHurry up.â
His third daughter was already beyond hope, but his good grandson was still young and could be slowly corrected. She was just bowing down to Lu Ming, not taking her life! Why couldnât she even distinguish right from wrong? All these years, she had really lived in vain! He lowered his eyes, and a hint of danger flashed across his eyes!
Since Lu Ming dared to embarrass the Tang family to this extent, he should pay the price for his actions! He would definitely not let him off easily when he settled the score with him later!
Tang Wenyi said reluctantly, âIâm sorry. I apologize for my rude behavior.â
