Butler He had also heard about the incident in Shanghai. The Lu Corporation had finally stabilized a little, but it had come at a cost—Lu Yaohua had sold his piece of land at a huge loss.

He did not know what the couple was thinking.

With their level of intelligence, it went without saying that they were not suitable for the position of family head. After knowing about the matter, Old Master almost fainted from anger. After that, he could not be bothered anymore and gave them the cold treatment.

Although the Third Miss had been arrogant before she got married, she was smart.

Butler He could not understand why she had been doing some foolish things since she married off to Shanghai. Compared to her sisters, she was really different. He wondered if things were too comfortable there, or if she was led astray by Lu Yaohua.

The others were clearly targeting the master. Only Third Miss was running in the opposite direction, causing a lot of trouble!

Just as he was about to hang up, Tang Wenyi said hurriedly, “I have something important to tell Old Master! Butler He, don’t hang up yet. Will you let me speak to Old Master for a while?”

To be honest, Butler He reckoned that Old Master did not want to hear her voice at all, but Tang Wenyi did not know her limits. She said, “I haven’t spoken to Old Master in a long time. What if he misses me?”

How shameless! he thought.

If Tang Wenyi had not married yet, or if the person she married was in the capital, perhaps the old master would not be like this. Then she could bring some benefits to the family. However, not only did Tang Wenyi marry a man who was married before, but the other party was also not promising and still had to rely on the Tang family for support.

To the Tang family, Tang Wenyi and Lu Yaohua were useless pawns.

“Sorry, Old Master is sleeping.”

In other words, Old Master did not want to talk to Tang Wenyi.

It was only then that Tang Wenyi realized that she was no longer the Third Miss of the past. However, at the thought that her son was investing, she gritted her teeth and said, “It isn’t my intention to call at this time. I really have no choice. Butler He, no matter what, I was raised by you. Please help me.”

After a long silence, Butler He finally said in exasperation, “Third Miss, please be cautious with your words.”

“Alright, alright. Sorry to trouble you.”

Tang Wenyi was delighted to know that he had agreed.

Immediately after, Butler He put the phone on speaker and brought it to the old master’s side. He said softly, “Old Master, Third Miss wants to talk to you about something.”

Old Master Tang was relaxing on a recliner, closing his eyes, and holding an expensive fan.

“Didn’t I say not to let anyone disturb me?”

Butler He said calmly, “Third Miss insists on talking to you.”

He had no choice.

He had watched the five daughters of the Tang family grow up. They had developed ties over the years.

“Old Master, I want to borrow 10 million yuan from you.”

“Another loan?”

Old Master Tang said coldly, “Why borrow money? Hasn’t the Lu Corporation stabilized?”

“… My son is investing. He has made a lot of money, so I want to bolster his effort.”

Tang Wenyi said weakly.

At her words, Old Master Tang, or Tang Boyan, almost hung up the phone. Does she really think I’m a fool? he thought. He had seen that kid, Lu Ze, before. He was ignorant and spent his days drinking. If he ever gets down to doing business, that will be when the sun rises from the west!

Perhaps the money earned this time was just a coincidence. His third daughter was someone who could not see the situation clearly. Did she really think that the money earned was based on Lu Ze’s ability? he wondered.

How could there be meat pies falling from the sky?

And it happened to land on their heads?! Isn’t this wishful thinking?

He may even lose what he has earned next time!

He had thought that it was something urgent!

“Bolster effort? No. 3, you should know that there are pros and cons to such things, right? But do you think I’m doing charity work? 10 million yuan is indeed not much compared to the Tang family’s assets, but that doesn’t mean my money comes from nowhere.

Of all my daughters, you’re the only one who can’t even fork out a mere 10 million yuan now. I’ll say it again—either settle it yourself or divorce your husband and come back. From now on, no matter how much you want to borrow, I won’t give it to you!”

He was surprised that the powerful Tang family had such a lousy daughter!

How embarrassing! It’d be a loss of face if word gets out!

“It’s Ah Ze’s first investment. We have to give him a chance…”

Tang Wenyi wanted to argue further, but Tang Boyan interrupted her. “Ha, it’s not that I didn’t give him chances in the past, but he was useless. How old is he now, and he still wants me to fork out money to fund him? No. 3, aren’t you spoiling the child too much?”

“… I understand.”

She did not think she had gone too far. Lu Ze was so weak but he was still forcing himself to start a business. To her, this was a big deal!

But everyone around was belittling her precious son.

How could she accept this?

After hanging up, Tang Boyan slowly opened his eyes and said, “Investigate what Lu Ze has been doing recently.”

“Yes.”

Butler He had just stood up when Old Master Tang continued, “Investigate Lu Yaohua too.”

He wanted to see what these two could do!

Meanwhile, Lu Ze was pestering Tang Wenyi and asking impatiently, “What did Old Master say? How much did he give?”

In his opinion, the Tang family was so rich that they could easily get a lot of money. The reason why he was so arrogant was partly because Tang Wenyi had always told him that no matter how big the trouble, they could rely on her big family in Beijing.

What is Shanghai? Lu Ze thought.

It’s just a temporary stop for me. Sooner or later, I’d go to Beijing!

Tang Wenyi said tiredly, “Old Master didn’t give the money. He said that we shouldn’t keep borrowing money from him.”

Actually she did not manage to borrow the last time either.

Lu Ze’s heart sank to the bottom of the pit. He said in a panic, “Then, then what should we do? If we don’t have the money to invest, won’t we not have a chance to outdo that bastard?! Besides, why wouldn’t Old Master lend money? He doesn’t lack this.”

Tang Wenyi did not know how to explain to him the pros and cons of investing.

She sat on the sofa and pondered quietly. It was a sharp contrast to Lu Ze’s anxious state.

Time ticked by. After some time, Tang Wenyi said, “I still have 10 million yuan, but…”

“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and throw in the money!”

Lu Ze said anxiously.

“But that’s the money I set aside for your betrothal gift to your bride.”

If the price of his investment fell, Lu Ze would not be able to get married.

Lu Ze said nonchalantly, “As long as we invest, we can earn several times more. What’s 10 million yuan when we can earn 100 million yuan!”
