Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Each With Their Own Plot

“Maybe you won’t last more than a few days before you starve to death. Or you can’t stand the huge difference and choose to kill yourself.”

Somehow, he suddenly felt like smoking.

Immediately after, he took out a low-quality cigarette in a habitual manner and put it in his mouth. He lit it with a lighter that was bought with a few yuan. Then he took a deep breath and puffed out a cloud of smoke. “My life recently is neither fit for humans nor ghosts. Even getting three meals a day is a problem, let alone having a place to live.”

“I could only find the cheapest hotel to rest. The debtors chase after me relentlessly. Tens of millions of debt are forcing me to the brink of collapse! No one is willing to help me. Do you know what despair is?”

He had already lost everything he had in the past. Fame, power, money, family… Lu Ming had driven him to being a lonely old man with nothing in his hands. The only thing that was valuable was his life! Every time he reminisced about the past, he couldn’t help but wonder—if he had treated his ex-wife and Lu Ming better back then, would all of this have happened?

Lu Yaohua said with a complicated gaze, “I do want to live a good life, but… it’s too late! No company in Shanghai is willing to hire me. Even if I die one day, no one will know! Only that bastard Lu Ming will be so happy that he can’t stop laughing! And you can return to the capital readily after causing a lot of trouble because of your identity as a Tang family member!”

His words were filled with envy for Tang Wenyi.

He took a few more puffs of the cigarette, but because he was in a hurry, he subconsciously coughed a few times. “Even if the bank manager chased you to your house, Old Master can help you solve it easily! At most, you’ll be scolded a few times! If someone can help me offset my debt, it’s not a problem to scold me every day! I’ll feel guilty if he doesn’t scold me! But reality is always the opposite!

“I don’t have any way out. If this continues, I’ll only face one situation, and that’s being forced to death! If anyone can remain unchanged in such an environment, I think they’re not mortals, but saints!”

In one breath, he revealed all the grievances he had suffered recently. It was as if he had found an outlet to vent his anger. Be it good or bad, he said everything. There was no lack of mockery in his words.

At first, Tang Wenyi was stunned. It was not that she did not think that he could be in a worse situation, but when reality really came, she still felt like she was dreaming. As she listened to these complaints, she could not help but feel emotional! Then she shook her head and thought to herself, Anyway, she had escaped from that hell in time. What did these things have to do with her?

With her status, no one in the entire capital dared to treat her like this! Well, she was well born.

Now that Lu Yaohua was living like this, she had fulfilled her wish. Perhaps in the future, even without her taking action, he would quietly leave this world. It would save her precious energy. This 100,000 yuan would be an investment to buy Lu Yaohua’s life! Thinking of this, she felt less depressed about his extortion.

Hence, she returned to her usual heartless self. Her heart was filled with schemes and benefits. She would let Lu Yaohua and Lu Ming fight each other! This way, she would be able to reap the benefits. Perhaps, the two stains in her life would be gone together!

The corners of her mouth began to curl up uncontrollably. She said, “Alright, I know you’ve had a hard time. No matter what, we’ve lived together for a long time. I can empathize with your situation. After all, it’s not easy for me to survive in the Tang family. If I can’t achieve results in the next year, I’ll be finished.”

She had used all her inheritance as a stake!

…

Later on, she thought about it carefully and could not understand why she had to be so generous. It was clearly a trap set by those people, but she actually walked into it obediently? To this day, she still felt that she lost her mind on New Year’s Day. The inheritance was all she had!

If she lost that, in addition to what she had already lost, the old man might chase her out of the house in anger. This meant that she had to succeed this time and not fail!

As a result, she was quite cautious in the preliminary screening of potential business partners. She didn’t even reveal anything, so the other sisters didn’t know what she was doing recently. Even the old man was kept in the dark! This meant that interference from the outside world would be unlikely this time. Although starting her venture was a little difficult, things would definitely become smoother in the future.

She didn’t even know where she got her confidence from.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yaohua was also selfish to the bone. He also wished that the other party would be unlucky! He was living such a miserable life, so how could she care only for herself? But now, he couldn’t say what he was thinking, so he said hypocritically, “What did you do?”

Tang Wenyi didn’t think too much about it and roughly explained what happened at the New Year family meeting.

Hearing this answer, he almost laughed out loud. The violent shaking of his shoulders exposed his true thoughts. She was led to wager her inheritance by just a few words. Isn’t this person a little too stupid? He subconsciously thought of Lu Ze, who was still in prison.

He had such a smart son like Lu Ming. Why was his youngest son so stupid? It turned out that he had inherited Tang Wenyi’s genes! It seemed that Lu Ze’s genes were basically good, but he had been corrupted by that woman! Thinking of this, he sighed secretly. If his youngest son had tried harder, he would not have fallen into this state!

He pretended to be empathetic and said, “Is that so? Then you must be under quite a lot of pressure. You have to be more careful at times like this. Your other four sisters definitely don’t want to see you succeed, so you have to be careful of them. No one can guess what they’ll do.”

It would be best if she could lose her pants this time! Then the old man would chase her out in anger. That way, they would be in the same situation! At that time, he wanted to see what kind of expression this Missy would have. However, seeing that he was in urgent need of money, he didn’t mind helping in the early stages. After that…

It would be out of his jurisdiction.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Wenyi said, “I’ll transfer 100,000 yuan to you later. As for hiring someone, I’ll have to trouble you to do it. Otherwise, I don’t think you want to experience what it’s like to go against the Tang family, right? Although I’m not popular with Old Master, I still have some resources on hand!”

With just a few words, she tore through the facade of gentleness. She had never had much patience with useless people.
