Luo Zheng headed downstairs bright and early in the morning, only to sense a strong tension in the air when she saw that all of the members of the Mu Family were present.
Having already guessed the reason, she smirked and greeted them briefly.
She decided to head to school without having breakfast because the sight of the Mu Family had made her lose her appetite.
Mu Tianwei finally lost control of his emotions. He stepped forth to stop her. “Zheng, did you meet the Luo Family last night?”
Just like she had expected, they were going to speak to her about that topic. Luo Zheng sneered in her head, even though she still nodded obediently. “Yeah, it was Cousin’s 20th birthday party last year and I especially went there to wish her a happy birthday… ”
Luo Zheng paused and said with a look of dejection, “But the Luo Family members don’t quite like me so we barely spoke to each other!”
Upon hearing his words, Mu Tianwei heaved a sigh of relief and comforted Luo Zheng, “Haven’t I always told you that the Luo Family looks down on the Mu Family? Their only agenda is to take your mother’s shares back from you… ”
Luo Zheng was just thinking about how she should broach the topic. Since he had already brought it up, she asked, “How many dividends am I entitled to every year?”
This greatly astonished them, Luo Zhen then asked, “Father, I’m cash-strapped lately, can I take some of the dividends?”
“Aren’t you just a student? Why do you need money?” Li Shufen questioned.
Li Shufen decided to chastise her.
Upon hearing her words, Luo Zheng blinked and said, “Grandma, the girls in my school show up at school everyday with different bags, designer clothing and jewelry! As the heiress of the Luo Family, the allowance that I get each month is not enough for me to even buy a bag! They keep mocking me and calling me poor while saying that I don’t deserve to be a wealthy heiress at all.”
Luo Zheng then glanced at Su Xuanxuan.
Su Xuanxuan’s heart skipped a beat and she was overwhelmed with an ominous feeling.
“Even Cousin keeps showing off in front of me and bragging about the things that she buys! I’m really so poor. I’m not as rich as Cousin… ”
Luo Zheng sounded more and more aggrieved, and was almost going to burst into tears.
Extremely dumbfounded, Su Xuanxuan thought to herself, am I rich? I do go shopping from time to time and show off my purchases but it is not that exaggerated!
“Father, do I even seem like an heiress?”
Mu Tianwei frowned and answered, “Of course. You’re definitely an heiress! It was negligence on my part previously. What do you want to buy? How much money do you need? I’ll give them to you.”
Luo Zheng decided not to make her first extortionate act that obvious, lest she arouse his suspicion. She asked coquettishly, “Father, may I have five million yuan?”
“Five million? You bastard, how dare you! Do you need that much money?” Li Shufen barked.
Before Mu Tianwei could even answer, Li Shufen slammed her cane down onto the ground angrily.
She then explained to her son, “Tianwei, you can’t be so silly as to give in and indulge her!”
Mu Cuiyun said, “Yeah, Brother, five million is not a small sum! Zheng, Xuanxuan doesn’t have any money to buy things. I was the one who bought her those items.”
Although the 10% of shares that Luo Huawei had given to Luo Zheng would entitle her to a few hundred millions of yuan every year… there were professionals to safeguard Luo Zheng’s assets while she was underage and hence, they could only get a small portion of the annual dividends.
However, most of the money was spent on the company that Mu Tianwei had established. Hence, they had barely any left!
“The other heiresses spend millions of yuan each month. Why can’t I do the same?” Luo Zheng retorted in displeasure.
Staring at Mu Tianwei with pouty lips, she exclaimed, “Father, are you not willing to give the money to me? It doesn’t matter, I’ll go collect the yearly dividends myself!”
