“Oh, my!”
She had almost forgotten that Lu Yaohua was coming here to chat with them today. When Xu Xiaojing saw this person, she did not want to open the door at all. She even wanted to pretend that she was not at home. However, Lei Jiacheng took the initiative to open the door for him. Before Tang Wenyi called, the two of them were chatting quite happily.
Because the news that followed was too explosive, they subconsciously ignored the existence of a third party! Xu Xiaojing frowned slightly. What did Lu Yaohua mean? What did he mean by ‘our partner’? Could it be that… he wants to go to the capital with us? What a joke!
As long as Lu Yaohua has a slightly more respectable identity, I won’t show any disdain. A mere unemployed person wants to build a relationship with that big shot together with us? Is he dreaming? If Mr. Fang finds out, he will probably feel that we have lowered his status!
In addition, if this matter causes our cooperation to break down, I’d want to kill Lu Yaohua!
Lei Jiacheng tacitly thought of the same thing as her, so he said, “Brother Lu, it’s not that I’m unwilling to bring you over, but you and Third Miss Tang didn’t get along well before. If you go over rashly, do you think the Tang family will let you off easily? For your safety, I think you should stay in Shanghai.”
Although what he said made sense, Lu Yaohua felt that this was his last chance. If he did not grasp it well, he would be completely doomed after this cooperation ended!
At the thought of this, Lu Yaohua said relentlessly, “I’m also one of the shareholders of this plan. Since you have business to discuss, why are you leaving me behind? I’ve been in the business world for many years and know a lot about negotiation. You might need me!”
Well, maybe not.
Xu Xiaojing was firmly against it. She didn’t want to bring such a burden everywhere she went! It was just a negotiation. Even if Tang Wenyi didn’t know how to do it, she and Lei Jiacheng had negotiated so many collaborations. How could she not understand this? She placed her left hand on her waist and raised her right hand to look at the time. She said, “If we don’t set off now, we won’t be able to catch the flight.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “I think you should listen to Big Brother and Sister-in-law this time. Stay in Shanghai. Don’t make things difficult for us. If it weren’t for your poor relationship with the Tang family, we would definitely take you to the capital. It’s just one more person. It’s not a big deal.”
“But if I continue like this, won’t I end up facing death? Why don’t you let me take a gamble!”
Lu Yaohua looked at them hopefully. “I promise I’ll be good. After meeting that big shot, I won’t stay any longer! I won’t cause any trouble for you. I don’t think Old Master Tang will discover me in such a short time. Is that okay?”
Lei Jiacheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He couldn’t waste any more time! He quickly took off and wanted to leave, but Lu Yaohua shamelessly grabbed his legs, making it difficult for him to move!
“What are you doing?! Let go of me quickly! We’re running late! Xiaojing!”
When his wife heard her name, she immediately went forward and tried to pry open Lu Yaohua’s fingers, but his grip was too tight. She scratched the other party’s hand until it was bleeding, but Lu Yaohua did not relax at all. She knew she should not have let this person in!
He has caused us so much trouble!
“No! If you don’t take me with you, then don’t go! In any case, I only have my rotten life left. At most, I’ll die. I have nothing to lose. It can even solve my debt problem. What about you? Your company has a huge shortfall, right? If you lose this opportunity, can you really make up for it in a short time?
Why don’t we see who can outlast the other!”
Lu Yaohua looked agitated as he hugged Lei Jiacheng’s legs tightly and roared. He couldn’t concede defeat so easily. Lu Ming could become my boss, and Lu Ming will step on me. Why can’t I turn things around?! This is my only chance!
Little did he know that his shameless behavior made people grit their teeth in anger!
“Lu Yaohua, are you really not giving me any face? I’m your big brother!”
Lei Jiacheng tried to play the emotional card and said, “Do you think we’re harming you? We’re doing this for your own good! Think about it, there are so many dangers in the capital, and you don’t have a backer. If you accidentally offend someone, who will support you? Your sister-in-law and I probably won’t be enough to deal with them!”
“You have to take me there! Feelings are nothing in the face of benefits! I just want to pay my debts as soon as possible and make a comeback!”
Lei Jiacheng could see that Lu Yaohua was adamant, and he could feel his legs going numb as he tightened his grip on them. Those who didn’t know better would probably think that Lu Yaohua was going to cripple his legs! Seeing that time was passing minute by minute and the two sides were in a stalemate, Lei Jiacheng couldn’t take it anymore. He almost broke down as he said, “Alright, alright, alright! I really f*cking owe you in my previous life!”
Lu Yaohua immediately revealed a happy expression. He quickly let go and said, “Then let’s set off now. We’ll be late if we delay.”
…
The next day.
Yu Restaurant was one of the top five restaurants in the capital. There was no need to mention the taste of the food. It was said that most of the chefs were poached from five-star hotels overseas! Because of its high price, this place successfully became the best place for the rich and powerful or the various second-generation heirs to treat people to a meal. As for the private rooms, they were naturally divided into first, second, and third-class private rooms.
The first class was the best, but it was not easy to have a meal there. After all, it would take them a long time to join the queue. In addition, everyone was of elite status and did not lack money. If they wanted to jump the queue, they had to have a higher social status and more wealth.
Tang Wenyi had booked a first-class private room. She had successfully booked it through her Tang family status and the money Xu Xiaojing had given her. Although the Tang family was starting to decline, they were still a prestigious family in the capital. There were very few people who could compare to the Tang family, so there was no trouble.
She put on exquisite makeup and walked straight into the private room with a branded bag. When she saw Xu Xiaojing and Lei Jiacheng, her smile froze on her face before she could show it. She widened her eyes and said, “Why is this guy here!?”
“Isn’t it rude to call your ex-husband ‘this guy’? Why can’t I come? I’m part of this plan, right?”
