Chapter 345: Rejection

If he jumped down from here now and left a will, the public would definitely condemn Lu Ming! At that time, there was no need to think about it. Lu Ming’s company shares would fall. In order to stop the severity of his loss, Lu Ming would have no choice but to apologize!

So what if Lu Ming didn’t like him as a father? People looking on would never investigate the truth. They would lean to one side in excitement! Thinking of this, he revealed a crazy expression. Didn’t Lu Ming look down on him? Would Lu Ming be so angry that he would curse if he was dragged into the mud by a lunatic like him?

Although these were only his imagination, they relieved him greatly.

However, even if he really did that, Lu Ming could easily resolve this matter. After all, at most, he could just release all the lousy things his father had done in the past. The public was indeed sympathetic, but they would not be so soft-hearted as to sympathize with a despicable person.

However, Lu Yaohua clearly did not take note of this possibility.

Therefore, he tentatively began to extend his feet. The closer he got to the edge of the bridge, the clearer the sound of the river water was. He blinked, and the dizziness became stronger. Beads of sweat fell until they became a part of the river and disappeared! He moved his throat, but he did not dare to take another small step forward, even though he was still quite a distance away from jumping down.

However, his psychological pressure seemed to have reached its limit. His eyes were bloodshot and his entire body was tense for an unknown period of time. In the end, he loved himself more than he wanted to take revenge on Lu Ming. He grabbed a pole tightly as if he had survived a calamity and took in large mouthfuls of fresh air!

He didn’t want to die! He still had many things to do! Besides, there was more than one way to take revenge on Lu Ming, right? Yes! That was it! He would think of another way. There must be a way to take revenge successfully and he would live well! As long as he was willing to use his brain!

He stood by the bridge for a while longer. When the breeze blew over, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. If he died, Lu Ming might even set off a few firecrackers at the door to celebrate. After all, he would have committed suicide before Lu Ming even pulled his punches. The thought of the other party laughing even in his dreams made him even more determined to live!

But… what to do?

Apart from the bastard’s mockery, the 300,000 yuan that he had to repay soon began to suffocate him.

Just as he was at a loss, his phone suddenly rang, scaring him so much that he almost fell into the river! He hurriedly ran down the bridge, afraid that such an accident would happen! He took out his phone without looking at it and said humbly, “Is… is there something wrong with the bank card? I can guarantee that I didn’t tamper with it. There’s indeed 200,000 yuan inside.

Are you going back on your word? Didn’t we agree that I’ll pay you back in half a month? You can’t go back on your word. As for the 300,000 yuan, I’ll raise the amount, and I won’t secretly leave Shanghai. Besides, it’s impossible for me to do this. How can I outrun you with my small physique…”

“Lu Yaohua?”

Lu Yaohua, who was about to make a long speech to show his misery, fell silent. Even his breathing became much lighter. His eyes widened in disbelief. It was not a debt collector, but… Tang Wenyi? For some reason, he felt a sense of fear.

Although they were already divorced, he had at least been sincere to Tang Wenyi.

It had only been a short while, but their identities were already worlds apart. He was unemployed, and the other party was still the third missy of a famous family in the capital. It was as if they had returned to the time when they first met. Tang Wenyi was an unreachable star, and he could only look up to her.

Back in the capital, after Tang Wenyi heard what Lu Yaohua said just now, she had mixed feelings in her heart. His days were probably not going to be easy! She felt guilty, but immediately, she shook her head. Now Lu Yaohua was asking for it. It had nothing to do with her!

At the end of the day, how could the third daughter of the Tang family be related to an unemployed person who was in debt? Now that Lu Yaohua had become a stain in her life, no matter where she went, there would be people reminding her that she had once been married to such a person! If only… If only she could die quietly because of an accident.

However, she had yet to gain a foothold in the capital, and there were many people watching her every move. It was better to think of a way to get rid of him in the future! Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on her face. If others saw this, they would probably be frightened to the point of having a nightmare! However, her tone was as gentle as usual. “Are you doing well?”

Lu Yaohua naturally did not know that she wanted to get rid of him. He thought that she had rekindled her feelings for him, so she wanted to try and return to his side! Hence, his mood improved a lot. He knew it. How could such a love fanatic really want to cut ties with him!

“Sigh, you should know too, right? I haven’t been doing well recently because that unfilial son, Lu Ming, wouldn’t let the companies in Shanghai hire me. Those fellows are all fence sitters and are really doing it! I resorted to changing my name and working at a construction site, but I felt that it was a waste of my talent, so I resigned and left.”

He embellished the facts a little. In any case, the end result was that he was not working at the construction site anymore.

“What about you? You’re doing well in the Tang family, right? You don’t have to worry about making a living.”

She didn’t need to worry about these trivial matters! However, she was targeted in the family and was forced by the old man to copy Buddhist scriptures. It was simply a double torture of her body and soul! She might as well move out and live freely by herself! However, she was unwilling to leave like this, nor could she bear to give up this life.

Although life was a little tough, it would be even tougher to live like an ordinary person.

Moreover, she was unwilling to give up competing for the position of the head of the family. It did not matter that she failed in the past. As long as she married Brother Yang, she could return to the battlefield. The requirement was that she could not give up her status as the third daughter of the Tang family. This was because families like theirs valued social status the most. If her status was too low, the Yang family would probably not agree to her marriage with Brother Yang.

She looked at her right hand, which was still trembling, and the long Buddhist scriptures on the table. Just thinking about it made her tired.

“It’s alright. I’m contacting you because I want to talk to you about something.”

Lu Yaohua immediately said, “I can’t do anything now, and my health is getting worse. So I think it’s better not to leave the bad things to me.”

What’s the use of saving face now? he thought. It’d be bad if I get tricked! It is best to protect myself.
