Chapter 361: Pleasing
“… Lu Yaohua, I’ll give you 5% more at most! I advise you not to push your luck!”
If it weren’t for the fact that we are keeping each other in check, would I have to make such a huge sacrifice? Just because of Xu Xiaojing’s words, Lu Yaohua can’t wait to be at her beck and call. Those who didn’t know better would think that these two are husband and wife! We have been together before, so why is he so heartless?
At this moment, Tang Wenyi’s eyes were so dark that it was a little scary. It was as though if the other party didn’t agree, she would immediately fight him to the death! She originally didn’t plan to let Lu Yaohua earn much, but now that the situation was out of control, she could only guarantee that, out of the four of them, she was the one who had the biggest share of the profits. 5% was her bottom line!
On the other hand, Lu Yaohua’s sixth sense was frantically sounding the alarm. He subconsciously looked at Xu Xiaojing, but Xu Xiaojing shrugged and pretended that it had nothing to do with her. She said, “Brother Lu, why are you looking at me? Isn’t this your own request? It’s fine if it’s 5% more. Get as much as you can.”
At this moment, he realized that he had been robbed. However, it was useless even if he tried to make up for it now. He might as well accept it. Hence, he said fearlessly, “Miss Tang, you’re really generous. 50% is fine! Actually, my greatest virtue is that I’m content with what I have. 10% is enough.”
When Tang Wenyi heard this, she sneered. If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Xiaojing got involved in the second half, Lu Yaohua would have gotten only 10% of the profits today, right? How could he be satisfied with that? Lu Yaohua would die from greed sooner or later!
Hence, she said again, “Then it’s settled. 40% for you, 45% for me, and 15% for Lu Yaohua. Are you satisfied?”
This time, no one raised any objections. In other words, everyone agreed!
She was not in the mood to continue chatting, so she ended the gathering after a few more exchanges. Lei Jiacheng and Xu Xiaojing left in a hurry because they had something on at the company. Just as Tang Wenyi was about to go back to the hotel to have a good sleep before returning to the capital, someone suddenly grabbed her right hand.
“Wenyi, we haven’t seen each other for a while. You must be hungry after talking so much, right? Why don’t we go to a restaurant and have a chat? I know a good place that’s open 24 hours a day. How about that? In fact, I’ve missed you since you left me…”
Lu Yaohua said all the sweet nothings he had learned in the past. However, before he could finish, Tang Wenyi angrily gave him a big slap! Just from the sound of it, he knew that the other party did not hold back at all! For a moment, he could not react, but the swollen left side of his face was telling him that he had been beaten up by his ex-wife again!
“Lu Yaohua, I’ve never seen someone as annoying as you! You know that I’ve lost my power, so you’re crazily sucking up to Xiaojing?! Why are you so snobbish?! I’m really unlucky to have met you! In order to increase your profits by 5%, you really don’t care about your face! You’ve been provoking me time and time again, and now you want to please me? What are you thinking?!
You really can’t wait to exploit everyone! Lu Yaohua, you’ll have to pay the price sooner or later!”
Her chest rose and fell violently, and her cheeks were flushed. Her frown seemed to have become a dead knot, and the flames of anger burned fiercely. She seemed to have thought of something and said, “After our divorce, we returned to being strangers. Don’t try to get close to me! Mr. Lu, please keep a distance from me, lest my sweetheart gets jealous!”
His thoughts and intentions are so condemnable!
Lu Yaohua widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “Wen… Wenyi, are you still angry with me? I had no choice just now. If I didn’t go along with Sister-in-law, what if she gets someone to deal with me? I’m just an ordinary person now. How can I defeat these big bosses?”
“Heh, you make it sound like you didn’t take advantage of me. Are you afraid of offending me or are you afraid of offending Xu Xiaojing? The Tang family is behind me!”
Tang Wenyi paused for a moment before continuing, “And I’m not joking with you. What I said is true. The other party is my childhood sweetheart. After learning that I’m single again, he tried to please me. Coincidentally, I’m interested in him too. Now we’re getting along very well. He goes along with everything I say. He doesn’t mind that I still have a son in prison. I think we’ll get married soon.
Oh, right. If you happen to be free on my wedding day, I’ll get someone to send you an invitation.”
Lu Yaohua was stunned on the spot. He thought that Tang Wenyi had said that there was someone she liked just to anger him and make him jealous!?But now… isn’t she just showing off?!?His life was the pits now. Even if he wanted to remarry, no one would fancy him!
Moreover, he was not willing to marry an ordinary woman. No matter what, he was once the boss of Lu Corporation. If he were to degrade himself like this, what would those people who mocked him think of him? That would be his last vestige of dignity! He slowly clenched his fists and said, “Old Master will never let you marry a poor boy.”
With him as an example, how could Tang Boyan still agree to his daughter being with a freeloader? Now, he firmly believed that the reason why Tang Wenyi’s new sweetheart gave in to her was because he wanted to use the Tang family’s influence to rise to the top!
When Tang Wenyi heard this, she sized him up in surprise and said disdainfully, “Lu Yaohua, is your brain dead? Do you think an ordinary person would be the childhood sweetheart of the daughter of the Tang family? His family is quite famous in the capital. He’s a match for the Tang family.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yaohua’s expression darkened.
She naturally saw all the changes in his expression. Somehow, she instantly felt much better. She said, “For that matter, I’ve dated Brother Yang more than twice. We’ve been to movies, aquariums, amusement parks, and so on. There are so many places! This progress is much faster than dating you back then.
Why don’t you guess what else we did?”
The meaningful words made Lu Yaohua’s expression change. He felt like he had been cuckolded! Even though the two of them had divorced sometime ago, he still thought that the other party would return to his side. However, all his delusions were shattered at this moment! His ex-wife had really found a rich young master! Moreover, his personality sounded quite good!
