Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 360

Chapter 360: Bargaining

Didn’t I repeatedly remind him not to act like he is very familiar with me? Why can’t he listen to me?! Or is he pretending to be stupid? She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Lu, have you forgotten that we’re no longer related? We’re merely partners now, and I have a new sweetheart.”

Xu Xiaojing was shocked by this news. The divorce seemed to have happened not long ago, right? Had she hooked up with a new partner in the capital so quickly? However… Thinking about it, it seemed normal. No matter what, the Tang family was a prestigious family. There were many people who wanted to know the five ladies. In addition, Tang Wenyi was not bad-looking. Her brain was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she was easy to control.

In a sense, she was the best candidate.

Xu Xiaojing lowered her eyes to hide her excitement. She felt like a bystander watching a saga unfold. She didn’t expect to be privy to this information just by coming out to discuss cooperation. No one else was so lucky!

Yet.

Lu Yaohua did not take Tang Wenyi’s words to heart at all. He firmly believed that this was Tang Wenyi’s excuse to cut ties with him. After all, no one in this world could stand her temper! Only he would help her do this and that without complaint! Besides, he would not let her get rid of him so easily!

Now that he looked upon Tang Wenyi as the goose that laid the golden egg, he said, “Look at my memory, I forgot in the blink of an eye! Miss Tang, this is right, right? Could that big shot be a high-ranking official? Since you’re going to see him later, why don’t you take me along? Perhaps I can help you?”

“Help? You?”

Tang Wenyi looked at him disdainfully and said, “Is there something wrong with your brain? You couldn’t even do what I asked you to do not long ago. How can I trust your ability? With your current disheveled appearance? I’d rather believe that you will plot to kill me!”

After this lesson, she would definitely not engage Lu Yaohua in the future! Just one cooperation had cost her 500 million yuan. How much would it be next time? 5 billion or 10 billion? She did not dare to risk anything because she only had one last chance! If the other sisters found out, the old man would beat her to death!

Lu Yaohua’s expression froze for a moment. Then he comforted himself. All of this was just a disguise in front of his brother and sister-in-law so that others wouldn’t use him! From the looks of it, Wenyi still cared about him. So what if there was a scar on his face? Didn’t she still love him to death?

No one knew where he got his self-confidence from.

If Tang Wenyi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely retch and refute him. She was the third daughter of the Tang family. What kind of man couldn’t she get? Why did she have to fall for Lu Yaohua? What was she after? He was old and ugly, and so poor that his illness was all he had left!

“I know, I know everything. Wen… No, Miss Tang, but are you really not going to think about it?”

You know?

Know my *ss!

…

Although Tang Wenyi didn’t know what he was thinking, when she saw his shifty eyes, she felt that this person must be thinking of something else! Hence, she looked away in disgust and said, “I won’t take you there. How can someone like you see that gentleman? If I take you there rashly, don’t you think the old master will be so angry that he will want to kill you?”

Immediately, the scene of Old Master chasing after him with a walking stick appeared in Lu Yaohua’s mind. Old Master didn’t like him to begin with. If he destroyed the connections that the Tang family had built over the years… To be honest, just thinking about it gave him goosebumps.

He had to admit that Tang Wenyi had successfully poked his soft spot.

He laughed dryly and said, “I was just joking. Why take it seriously? Didn’t we often joke with each other in the past? Why are we so distant now? Even if we can’t be husband and wife, it’s good to be friends, right?”

Make friends with Lu Yaohua?

When did I sink so low?

Tang Wenyi couldn’t be bothered to continue talking nonsense with him. She turned to look at the couple opposite her and asked, “Well, do the two of you have anything else to ask? If not, then the cooperation has been decided.”

“I do.”

A glint flashed across Xu Xiaojing’s eyes as she said, “When this deal is done, what is our profit sharing ratio?”

Are we finally here? Tang Wenyi thought.

She raised her chin and said, “I’ll take 50% and you guys take 40%. No matter what, I was the one who came up with this entire plan. As for the remaining 10%, we’ll give it to Lu Yaohua. Treat it as a reward for our cooperation and hush money. Does anyone have any objections?”

She felt that it was already not easy for her to give in so much. If not for the fact that no one here was easy to bully, she would definitely have gotten a higher share! Just saying these words now made her heart ache! Forget it, she would treat it as an early investment. She would earn it back in the future.

“50% for you and 40% for us?”

Xu Xiaojing raised her eyebrows slightly and revealed an ambiguous expression. She said, “Yaohua doesn’t have any objections? No matter what, he has contributed a lot this time. Isn’t 10% too little? Even if he didn’t contribute, he had worked hard, right? Don’t you think so, Yaohua?”

When Tang Wenyi heard this, her face immediately darkened! Isn’t she trying to let Lu Yaohua take 10% of my profits to achieve peace?! She knows that she can’t snatch it from me, so she’d rather give it to an outsider than let me have it?! Xu Xiaojing is really ruthless!

Seeing that there was someone backing him, Lu Yaohua quickly stood up and said, “I think Sister-in-law is right. Miss Tang, I don’t want much. Just give me 10% more of the profits! Think about it, without me, do you think Big Brother and Sister-in-law would come? Consider this carefully.”

He emphasized the last three words. On the surface, he said that it was about facilitating their meeting, but in fact, he was using the two of them to force Tang Wenyi to give him 10% more of the profits. Even though they had ganged up against her, how could she give up when her plan was about to succeed?

Then, as expected, Tang Wenyi said with a fake smile, “Isn’t it a little unreasonable to take advantage of me? Aren’t you afraid that someone will put a sack over you in the middle of the night?”

“With my small physique, I don’t expect to live long. Just as Miss Tang said before, I also think that enjoying the present is the best way to live. Anyway, my illness is very difficult to treat.”

Lu Yaohua retorted with the same words that Xu Xiaojing had used. He said shamelessly, “How is it? Are you giving it to me or not? Consider this carefully.”
