Chapter 56 – As Long as I Have a Chance

After Lu Yaohua received the call, he got someone to fetch his son quickly. He looked at Lu Ze, who was on the verge of death, and he was furious!
It was one thing for Lu Ze to borrow his car to chase after a girl, but it was quite another to end up losing the girl and getting a beating instead. Most importantly—the girl even ran away with his elder son! Wasn’t this a slap to his own face in public?
He wondered how he could have raised such a useless son like Lu Ze!
Compared with Lu Ming, they were worlds apart. The former was so outstanding, but the latter was utterly useless.
They were both his sons!
He had never thought that it was his fault. After all, in his opinion, Lu Ze’s environment was much better than Lu Ming’s. His younger son should be better than Lu Ming, but in reality, it was the complete opposite.
If Lu Ming was still his son, he might be able to successfully establish ties with the Chu family and become a friend of countless elites. His business operations would not be limited to Shanghai.
He regretted it even more now.
He must have been out of his mind to sever ties with Lu Ming.
He looked at Lu Ze in exasperation. “It was all because of this good-for-nothing son!” he thought.
Tang Wenyi lay by the bed and sobbed softly. “My poor precious son! How did you end up like this just by going out for a while?! Lu Ming, that bastard! I won’t let him off!”
After calming herself down, she said, “Yaohua, look at the child you had with that slut! He made Little Ze so angry time and time again. Sooner or later, he’ll be lording it over us!”
“That’s enough. If Lu Ze didn’t try to take Ms. Chu by force, he might still be fine.”
After Lu Yaohua found out the truth, he almost lost his breath. Lu Ze was really bold! He even dared to offend the Chu family! He actually dared to abduct her after his confession failed to win her heart. If he had succeeded, the Lu family would probably be blacklisted by the Chu family!
Tang Wenyi said nonchalantly, “If the daughter of the Chu family had obediently followed Little Ze, wouldn’t this matter be easily resolved? Little Ze and she are a match made in heaven. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?”
In her opinion, Chu Jinyu was unworthy of her son.
Lu Yaohua was speechless.
“A match made in heaven?”
It would be fine if Chu Jinyu was a rich second-generation heir who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. However, the key was that she had a solid list of accomplishments to her name. How could someone like him be worthy of her?
He wondered how many layers of filters Tang Wenyi had applied.
She stood up unsteadily and said, “It’s all your fault! If not for you, how would Little Ze have ended up like this?!”
“Alright, alright, alright. It’s all my fault. He should lie low for now so that he doesn’t have to be admitted to the hospital again.”
Lu Yaohua did not bother to argue with his wife. In any case, he still had to rely on her to support the Lu Corporation. If the Tang family withdrew their investments, he would really be finished.
She reprimanded him a few more times but was still not appeased. She took out her phone and said in a ruthless tone, “I want to contact my family to get Grandpa to do something! Since he dared to provoke my precious son, Lu Ming must pay the price!”
The Tang family was not to be trifled with!
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel.
Lu Ming was chatting happily with Chu Jinyu. He took a sip of red wine and said with a chuckle, “Why did you return to Shanghai? Are you here to discuss business, or will you stay here in the future?”
“I’d like to stay.”
Initially, it was her secretary who came over. However, she could not forget the promise from six years ago. So she planned to look for Lu Ming personally. She did not expect to meet him so soon.
Chu Jinyu smiled and said, “I built a branch company here. Usually, I get someone to manage it, but because I have a big business deal to discuss, I’ve basically been in Shanghai for the past few months. What about you? How have you been these years? Is Auntie Zhang doing well?”
Lu Ming spread his hands and said, “My mom passed away two years ago. She’s doing alright now. She doesn’t have to worry about food and clothes.”
“She passed away?”
Chu Jinyu was stunned at first, but then her expression changed slightly. She knew that it was very difficult for fresh university graduates to earn money. The so-called not having to worry about food and clothes was probably just a casual remark from Lu Ming.
She knew that Lu Ming was still saddled with various debts.
She wanted to help him settle his debts, but she knew that with his proud character, he would probably be unwilling to accept her help.
She seemed to have thought of something and said, “Why don’t you come to my company to work? You can get any position you want. It’s not bad being my assistant.”
Lu Ming could not help but laugh. He knew that she had misunderstood his words and explained, “I’m living quite well now. No matter what, I’m better off than those white-collar workers.”
Chu Jinyu still felt that he was covering up his true circumstances. She said seriously, “If ever you feel that the remuneration you’re now getting is poor, come find me. I will definitely offer you a fair remuneration.”
Seeing that she did not believe him, Lu Ming did not say anything else. “Alright, when I have difficulties, I will definitely look for you.”
He was afraid that he would not have the chance to do so.
Unbeknownst to them, a certain someone was watching them from a corner. ‘It seems that Ms. Chu and Lu Ming are very familiar with each other! If you want to attack Lu Ming, you will probably have to be wary of the Chu family.’
Brother Zhang frowned as he texted what he saw to Lu Ze. He had been with Lu Ze for so many years and knew his personality well. Since this mattered to Lu Ze, he had to come along to see what the relationship between the two was.
Lu Ze, who had received the text message, threw his phone onto the floor!
“Lu Ming! I f*cking cannot live under the same sky as you!”
He roared angrily, “Why!?”
He wondered why Lu Ming would snatch away everything that he took a fancy to!
He clenched his fists tightly. His nails pierced into his flesh but he did not react. His face was twisted like a devil from hell. He swore—even if it meant death for himself, he would drag Lu Ming down into the abyss!
The dark clouds were hovering here, but over at Hilton, the mood was romantic.
“Brother Lu Ming?”
Lu Ming came to his senses. He felt that she was gazing at him but wondered if it was his own imagination.
“What is it?”
Chu Jinyu smiled like a flower and said, “Brother Lu Ming, have you forgotten our previous agreement?”
They were supposed to look for each other…
At the thought of this, Lu Ming’s breathing paused. If he remembered correctly, he even said something else at that time. However, he had long forgotten about it. “… What was it?”
Chu Jinyu did not pursue the topic but asked instead, “Are you single now?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s fine as long as I have a chance.”
Both of them knew what she meant. Lu Ming sighed helplessly in his heart..
