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

Chapter 295 - Spendthrift



Chapter 295 – Spendthrift

Not long ago, the old master had no choice but to pay the other party 30 million yuan for crossing the line. It was just that the price had increased for her. After all, he had sent more than three reporters the last time! Was this a warning not to do anything unnecessary? This time, it was 10 million per person. How much would it be next time?

20 million or 30 million?

Wasn’t this indirectly telling her that his patience was limited? If he was forced into a corner one day, he might even bite off a few pieces of flesh from the Tang family even if he got seriously injured!

Her mood gradually became somber. It had been a long time since she had been threatened like this. Lu Ming was really troublesome to deal with! No wonder Chu Jinyu had been thinking about him for so many years. If she could rope him in, Old Master would probably have decided on an heir long ago!

He was really outstanding.

In this matter, she had completely lost to Chu Jinyu. She could not help but feel a little jealous. Why did all the good things belong to someone else? Be it her background or her taste in men, they were all better than hers! As expected of the woman she regarded as a formidable opponent!

“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”

It was only 30 million yuan. To her, it was not a big sum. Even at home, her small treasury was considered very substantial. Considering the money she earned every month, she could well afford to exchange it for the three researchers. However… she could have avoided paying this sum of money. Why were her subordinates all incompetent fellows?

If they were 10% as outstanding as Lu Ming, they would have completed their mission long ago! Would she still need to clean up the mess?

“It has been transferred to your account. Can you release them now?”

When Lu Ming saw a bank message that popped up on his phone screen, he said, “Miss Tang is really rich and imposing. On account of your sincerity, I won’t make things difficult for you. However, I have to remind your Tang family that this is the second time. Next time…

You won’t be so lucky. Just go directly to the funeral home.”

Isn’t this a blatant threat? If it were anyone else, Tang Yajing would definitely not care, but the other party was Lu Ming, who had tricked them several times! Moreover, she could hear the seriousness in Lu Ming’s words. She was sure that if she sent someone else next time, there would be no room for negotiation!

It seemed that she had to be careful.

“Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Lu.”

After saying this, both parties hung up the phone at the same time. She lay on the chair with a grave expression. The plan had failed again, which meant that the alliance between Lu Ming and Musk would most likely impact the industry! Either the Tang family had to make advance preparations, or she would take time out these few days to go to the temple to pray to the gods that they would not succeed in their research.

Her head ached and she massaged her temples. If it was the former, it would definitely be a big move. She probably would not be able to hide it from the old master. Moreover, with his conceited and proud personality, it was already good enough if he did not faint from anger when he heard the words “working with Musk”!

There were pros and cons.

What should I do? Should I salvage as much as I can?

At the thought of this, a male voice suddenly sounded from behind her. “Fifth Miss, why didn’t you go to the office today? Old Master isn’t in the old residence either, so I came to your house to take a look. As expected, I found you here.”

Luo Xiangwen slowly approached her, and his breathing suddenly stopped. He saw a white light enveloping her body, and her usually curly brown hair was casually draped around her waist. Her fair skin was like a porcelain doll, and her dark, deep set eyes were like stars. Looking into those eyes, he suddenly had the feeling of being targeted by a wild beast.

It was undeniable that the five ladies of the Tang family each had their own special characteristics, but the youngest, Tang Yajing, was the most beautiful. Be it her looks or abilities, she was extremely outstanding. If someone who knew little about her saw her at this moment, they would definitely regard Tang Yajing as a goddess!

“I took leave from Old Master today. After being busy for so many days, it’s time to rest. After all, I’m not a robot. If this continues, my body will collapse sooner or later. The Tang family doesn’t need an invalid to be the head of the family.”

“I think… If it’s you, it doesn’t matter even if your body is weak because, importantly, your brain is still there.”

Luo Xiangwen said something that sounded like comfort. He rarely cared about the emotions of others. Old Master was one he cared about, and now Tang Yajing was another.

“No, I have to do my best. Nothing can stop me!”

Tang Yajing said with a firm gaze. She wanted to be the perfect successor, not the ‘weak’ Fifth Miss! She wanted to be stronger than everyone! The final victor would only be her!

Seeing that she was so stubborn, he did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he took the initiative to talk about something else that he cared about. He asked, “You seemed to be in a difficult position just now. Did something happen?”

“… The plan failed. Lu Ming caught them and extorted 30 million from me. He also warned the Tang family that if there was a third time, we should prepare to collect the corpse. He’s serious. Others might be afraid of the Tang family, but he’s not. Who knows what he will do if we force him into a corner! In the end, why did Third Sister provoke a lunatic who doesn’t care about his life?”

If not for Tang Wenyi’s insistence on being stupid back then and her confidence that Lu Ming would not survive in such a desperate situation, she would not have attacked him like a cat catching a mouse. Now, it was great! Third Sister definitely contributed to his rise to his current status. The key was that she, an innocent party, still had to clean up Tang Wenyi’s mess!

She was really unlucky to have met Tang Wenyi! She had completely let her teammates down. Those who did not know better would probably think that they were indebted to her in their previous lives!

“What has Third Sister been doing recently?”

The sudden change in topic stunned Luo Xiangwen for a moment before he said, “She’s cultivating her character in the old residence, and Old Master doesn’t allow anyone to take the initiative to approach her. I heard that Third Miss seems to have started studying Buddhist scriptures. But because she can’t stand the loneliness, she keeps shouting in her room.”

Studying Buddhist scriptures required patience more than anything. It was precisely because of this that Tang Wenyi would probably never be able to learn it in her life.

Tang Yajing sneered. It was obvious that this person had nothing better to do! She deserved it! However, she hoped that her third sister would return to the real world as soon as possible. After all, she had to clean up her own mess, right? Did she really treat them as free nannies? How could there be such a good thing in the world?

Before she could say anything, Luo Xiangwen spoke first. “Fifth Miss, I’ll help you bandage your wounds. What do you think?”
