“Rights to inheritance?”
Lu Yaohua had never heard of this!
If what Tang Wenyi said was true, he would be incredibly happy after he had inherited the Tang family’s big business.
Although his Lu Corporation was very famous in Shanghai, it was insignificant compared to the Tang family business in Beijing.
The Tang family residence was in Beijing.
This was something he would never have imagined having in his life!
“When the time comes, no matter where I go, there will be people fawning over me. Anything I want will be a piece of cake.” Just thinking about it felt good!
“Lu Ming will be nothing then!” he thought.
In his eyes, he was just an ant!
He could already see himself taking over the Tang family home.
Soon he came to his senses and said, “Are you serious?”
Tang Wenyi nodded. “When I went back this time, Grandpa said that you couldn’t make it. He asked me to take our son to the Tang family, but he wanted to remove us from the inheritance.”
She did not know what the old master was thinking.
He probably thought that none of the five sisters could be relied on, so he wanted them to find an outstanding man to take over the Tang family business and make it strong!
Actually, she was not wrong. That was what Old Master Tang thought.
Lu Yaohua knew that his wife and sisters were married to men from prestigious families or figures in business and politics. Compared to them, Tang Wenyi fared the worst.
He said anxiously, “Can we really beat them? Old Master doesn’t like me.”
“As long as you survive this crisis, won’t he look up to you?”
Tang Wenyi suggested, “Grandpa has always admired capable people. Since that’s the case, show him! We’ll definitely be able to turn the tables around! You have to be confident in yourself.”
Lu Yaohua’s ability was considered good in Shanghai, but there were many people in Beijing who were better than him!
The Tang family’s status was much higher than a few years ago. It was because of the marriage alliances that Old Master Tang had arranged for his granddaughters. The influential families in Beijing were more or less related to the Tang family.
With such connections, the Tang family was doing well.
That was where Old Master Tang was smart. Since his own granddaughters failed to live up to expectations, he would use marriage to rope in other capable people.
Tang Wenyi had been pampered before she got married.
However, when she insisted on leaving to follow Lu Yaohua, the old master let her go.
Other than her visits during the new year, there was no other interaction.
She had grown up in the capital city since she was young, so she could not possibly be without ambition.
However, she could only place her hopes on Lu Yaohua now!
Lu Yaohua was filled with confidence at the thought that if he could survive this, he might be able to win the old man’s favor!
“I will definitely get the Tang family business!”
The old master’s health was deteriorating year by year. Lu Yaohua thought that perhaps he would be designated as the heir this year.
“I have to act faster!” he thought.
“What is a small amount of damage? Beijing is my ultimate destination!” he said arrogantly.
Tang Wenyi nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Oh right, how do you plan to pay up?”
“I’m planning to sell that piece of land in the suburbs. It should be around 50 million yuan, plus my antiques…”
He sighed again.
Tang Wenyi knew what he was thinking. “You have to work hard. When you get the Tang family business, you’ll have all sorts of antiques. You can have hundreds of millions of antiques if you want! All of this is for our future!”
“True.”
Lu Yaohua nodded in agreement.
At this time, the news that he wanted to auction the piece of land in the suburbs had already spread. After Lu Ming knew about it, he thought of something and quickly took out the municipal planning map given by the system. Previously, he had highlighted that piece of land in the suburbs.
He was still trying to find out if that piece of land had an owner.
He did not expect it to be Lu Yaohua.
He looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
Soon this piece of land would be developed as a new high-tech zone. This meant that a large number of people would move to this place, and two new subway lines would be added in the next five years.
There was human traffic and the support of the government.
Even if it was in the suburbs, as long as he bought this piece of land, it would be a good investment.
Although he did not lack money now, he did not want to see Lu Yaohua live a good life!
“How could Lu Yaohua abandon his wife and son and go on to reach the peak of his life? How could he be the one having all the good things?” he thought.
Even God was taking care of Lu Yaohua. Fortunately, he had the system now, so he did not mind fighting with God!
It was not that he could not understand that people wanted to climb the ladder, but he could not forgive Lu Yaohua for refusing to pay for child support and alimony, which was his duty.
However, in order to cut ties completely with them, or perhaps out of meanness, Lu Yaohua would rather get a lawyer to help him shirk his responsibility. There was a problem with his character.
If Lu Yaohua had a conscience, he would not be so petty.
Perhaps his mother would have lived well!
“Good people don’t live long, while evil people live a thousand years,” he recalled the saying.
He looked forward to seeing Lu Yaohua having to beg on the streets. He and his mother hated winter the most. Not only was the weather cold in winter, but they did not have hot meals and fell sick easily.
In those days, they lived in anxiety every day and prayed that spring would come soon.
If it weren’t for a kindhearted person who took pity on them and gave them some money to tide over, they would have died as they wished.
There were a few times when he almost died in the cold. It was his mother who woke him up with reddened eyes.
“Little Ming! Little Ming! Don’t fall asleep. You’ll die!”
…
These words were etched in his heart.
To him and his mother, this might sound like a joke to others, but it was the truth. If they fell asleep, they would have died.
He could endure going to and from school in thin clothes in the cold winter, and he could endure being bullied by his classmates.
The only thing he could not endure was Lu Yaohua’s mockery!
Lu Yaohua was the culprit. “How could this person be enjoying his new family and laughing every day?!”
He clenched his fists at the thought of this.
He wanted Lu Yaohua to live a life worse than death!
It was to comfort his mother’s soul!
“Big Boss, I heard you have a new job for me? I’ve spent almost all my money. You’re really timely!”
Zhou Feng pushed the door open and said with a smile.
Lu Ming, who had regained his senses, looked up at him and asked, “I remember that was quite a lot of money, right? Could it be that you went to gamble?”
“How is that possible? It’s just a flower that’s gone. Oh right, what do you want me to do this time?”
Zhou Feng scratched the back of his head and asked.
Lu Ming chuckled and said, “Didn’t you say that you’ll do anything as long as I pay? Do you know how to read fortune? Feng Shui is fine too..”
