Chapter 196 Paying Respects to Mom
“I understand. If there are any new developments, please tell me.”
After hanging up, Old Master slammed his phone onto the ground. He looked at Tang Wenyi coldly and said, “Lu Ze doesn’t usually do anything illegal, right? If he does, has the evidence been cleared? You’d better think carefully before answering!” Why is he so angry just from answering a call? Tang Wenyi wondered. Now she did not know if she should tell the truth because if she did a count, Lu Ze had taken a few lives. But if she told Old Master, what if she ruined her son’s image in his mind?
Tang Rongrong said sarcastically, “Third Sister, now that things have come to this, are you still looking for excuses to fool Old Master?”
“Perhaps No. 3 can really come up with a lie!”
Tang Wanxi said meaningfully.
They had all seen how Tang Wenyi tricked Old Master. He had always doted on that playboy, Lu Ze, so every time Lu Ze got into trouble, Old Master would be taken in by him. This was also the main reason why the other sisters teamed up to deal with No. 3.
If Lu Ze became the family head, the Tang family would definitely collapse!
Perhaps it was because the old master knew that the succession of the family head had been uncertain for a long time and had been observing the situation.
Tang Wenyi opened her mouth to say something, but the old master spoke first. “Tell me everything that Lu Ze has done! If you withhold any information, I won’t do anything next time!”
She panicked instantly and said hurriedly, “Two years ago, when Ah Ze was speeding on the North Mountain highway, he killed a woman. After her family found out about this, they were unwilling to accept an out-of-court settlement no matter what and insisted that my son pay with his life. In a fit of anger, Ah Ze killed that woman’s parents and brother!”
She paused for a moment and carefully looked at the old master’s expression. Other than his expressionless face, there was nothing else. For a moment, she could not guess what the other party was thinking. She could only continue, “Then I bribed a scapegoat and made him the culprit of the incident.”
Tang Rongrong said harshly, “As expected of Third Sister’s son. So the good son you’re talking about is a murderer.” “Shut up! Ah Ze didn’t do anything wrong! Who asked them to refuse a settlement?! If they accepted the money, they wouldn’t have to die! I think they were pushing their luck and wanted more money!”
Tang Wenyi did not allow anyone to slander her son, even though Tang Rongrong said the truth.
What a crazy woman.
Tang Yajing thought to herself. Although the lives of ordinary people could be measured in monetary terms to them, Lu Ze was so impulsive that he was destined not to achieve anything big The old master asked coldly, “Anything else?”
“No…”
However, when she met his gaze, Tang Wenyi gritted her teeth and said, “Five years ago, Ah Ze took a fancy to a girl in school, but after being rejected several times, he… got a hooligan to kill her. In the end, a young man accidentally saw the scene that day. He went forward to stop the attempted murder and was killed by those hooligans.”
She looked up and said firmly, “Old Master, I swear! There were only a few lives in total! And I gave them money long ago to never tell the truth in their lives! They agreed readily! I…”
The next second, Old Master threw the cup in his hand at her head and immediately left a red mark on it. “Since you’ve already killed someone, why don’t you eliminate the roots! Idiot! Since they can be bribed with your money, they can also tell the truth because of someone else’s money! You actually think they’ll keep their mouths shut?! Do you know what Lu Ze’s situation is now?”
“What’s going on?”
Tang Wenyi asked blankly.
“Double Regulations!”
The other three sisters gasped. How could it be so serious?!
Veins bulged on the old master’s hands. He said, “Lu Ming must have used Tang Mingkun’s connections to hand the evidence to the Commission for Discipline Inspection! Lu Ming! I’ll remember this! The Tang family will not reconcile with you!”
When Lu Ming took revenge on Lu Yaohua previously, the old master did not mind. After all, he was an outsider. However, the protagonist this time was his own grandson! The Tang family’s blood was flowing in his veins. To others, this was a blatant slap to the Tang family’s face!
He clenched his fists. That little bastard actually dared to do this!
“Do you think my Tang family is so easy to bully?! I’ll make you pay the price!”
Tang Mingkun?
Tang Yajing did not expect Lu Ming to know the Tang family and they seemed to have a close relationship. She instinctively rubbed the ring in her hand. Perhaps she could use this matter to suppress her third sister completely. At that time, no matter how much Old Master doted on Lu Ze, he would have to weigh the pros and cons.
The corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly. Other than Butler He, no one else noticed.
At the same time, Chu Jinyu, who was wearing a red trench coat, was holding her husband’s arm affectionately. She looked at the scene of many graves surrounded by fresh flowers. For some reason, her thoughts were running wild.
“Was Mother buried here?”
“I moved her grave here later. Tang Wenyi did something to her grave previously.”
Lu Ming brought her to a stone tablet with vellum around it. He lit the paper money and said, “Mom, this is Little Yu. You should have seen her when we were young. She is my wife now.”
Chu Jinyu bowed and said, “Hello, Mom. I’m Chu Jinyu. It had been many years since we last met. I’ve finally become Brother Lu Ming’s wife. I hope you can bless us to be together for a long time.”
With that, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then she took out her incense and bowed.
“Oh right, I remember that Mom’s health was quite good, right? Why did she…”
The unspoken meaning in her words was obvious to both of them. She only knew that Zhang Wenfang had encountered bad things in the past few years, but she did not think much of it.
Lu Ming explained, “Tang Wenyi prohibited all companies in Shanghai from hiring my mom, so she found a waitressing job at a restaurant. However, they continued to haunt her. From time to time, they would get hooligans to cause trouble. As a result, the boss fired my mom after receiving the Lu family’s money.”
He sighed softly and said, “If it weren’t for the Lu family, with my mom’s education and ability, it wouldn’t have been a problem for her to enter a good company. Back then, she had clearly passed the interview with Yuhuan Company, but she was suddenly informed that all the positions were filled. Why didn’t they find a better excuse? My mom clearly saw that company continuing to recruit people, but every time she asked, she was told that there was no vacancy.”
Obviously, this was directed at her.
Chu Jinyu seemed to have thought of something and said in confusion, “There’s no need for Yuhuan to listen to the Lu family, right? The backing behind him is a big company in Beijing!”
