âOtherwise, you wonât survive today. Even a god wonât be able to save you! I said it! You should know how important I am, right? Who in Shanghai dares to offend me now? Not to mention the Tang family behind me! Zhang Wenfang, if you donât do as I say, Iâll order someone to throw your son out to feed the dogs!â
Her cold words made people shudder. Lu Ming stood rooted to the ground with red eyes. Who knew why he bumped into this vicious woman when he was just out shopping? His mother had wanted to take him around, but who would have thought that they would run into Tang Wenyi? As a result, they had no choice but to be humiliated in public.
But Tang Wenyi was someone who cared about her reputation, so she got the bodyguards to chase away most of the crowd.
As Zhang Wenfang was frequently bullied, she had become a little numb. Only when she heard the word âsonâ did her body react involuntarily. She knelt on the ground humbly and begged, âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have been with Lu Yaohua! I shouldnât have snatched your man!â
As she spoke, she wanted to touch Tang Wenyi, but she was instantly pinned down by the bodyguards. Tang Wenyi snorted and stepped on his motherâs face with her high heels. Lu Ming, who was standing at the side, had thought of going up to help, but how could a child stand up to an adult?
He vaguely remembered that time seemed to stand still that day. It passed extremely slowly, and it even felt like a year. In the end, Tang Wenyi let them go because she had an appointment with her sisters to play mahjong. By then, his motherâs hands were fractured, and she developed a chronic illness because of the incident.
How could he not hate Tang Wenyi?
Thinking of this, he walked forward and pressed down on Tang Wenyiâs head as she tried to look up. She let out an even louder shriek than before! This time, her blood gushed out like a fountain! It was painful just listening to this commotion! It was as if the top of her head was about to be crushed!
âTang Wenyi, I had wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine, but after thinking about it carefully, I donât want to be a scumbag like you, so I didnât use my shoes like you did to my mother. Am I very considerate? Anyone else probably wouldnât be as kind as me.â
Tang Wenyiâs head was already dizzy from kowtowing too much. After hearing these words, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Is this considerate? There were only a few people in the world who dared to openly go against the Tang family. Other than them, who else would dare to treat her like this?!
â⦠Yes. Thank you for your kindness.â
Damn it! How could a personâs skin be so thick!?
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, âIf you had been so obedient before, why would you have fallen to this state? You could have spoken nicely, but you had to take another path and try to provoke me again and again. I almost thought that the Tang family was filled with people like you!â
......
âLu Ming, weâve already fulfilled your conditions. Can you give us the medicine now?â
The old man frowned and asked. If the other party still chooses to refuse, then donât blame me for being uncivil!
Lu Ming stood up and spread his hands. âI can, but I donât have This Place No. 3 on me. Unfortunately, I donât think your precious grandson can live well. However, perhaps he can wait a little longer? When I remember to bring it, he might be saved.â
âWhat do you mean!â
In the end, the old man couldnât suppress his anger. He angrily hit his walking stick on the ground a few times and said, âAre you going back on your word? Although our Tang familyâs reputation isnât good now, if this matter is publicized, it wonât be good for the Lu Ming Corporationâs reputation, right? At most, weâll both suffer! No one will have an easy time!â
Seeing this, Lu Ze stopped pretending and quickly said, âLu Ming! You canât do this to me! If you donât save me, I wonât let you off even if I become a ghost!â
âPatriarch Tang, canât you let me finish? Although I didnât bring This Place No. 3, I have more powerful preventive medicine on me. You can rest assured about the quality. After all, many people said that itâs quite effective. Itâs easy for Lu Ze to get better!â
Lu Ming said in exasperation.
His meaningful gaze gave Tang Wenyi a bad feeling. If it was really as she had guessed, then⦠She did not dare to think further. Now she was filled with regret! At the end of the day, if she had not been greedy and wanted to earn black-hearted money, the epidemic would not have spread so quickly!
Perhaps Ah Ze could also wait until he became the family head!
However, it was obvious that the old master and Lu Ze didnât know what he was talking about. The latter hurriedly said, âWhy didnât you say so earlier?! Why didnât you take it out?! As long as you save me, youâll be the Tang familyâs benefactor! At that time, wonât you be able to get anything you want?â
Lu Ming proceeded to say what he intended to do.
The corners of his mouth curled up as he said, âThe Xingwei Preventive Medicine. I remember that when it first came out, it seemed to have been exaggerated, right? It said that it could treat illnesses and strengthen the body if one wasnât sick. There was also Third Miss Tangâs endorsement. Moreover, these words came from your mouth. Since the effect is so powerful, letâs give it to your son!â
No wonder he specially made it clear that we canât blame him if Lu Ze canât be cured. So this is his plan?!
The old master took a deep breath and said with a livid face, âI want This Place No. 3, not Xingwei! Why? Do you want to switch the medicines secretly? Arenât you overestimating yourself by playing tricks in front of me? It seems that Tang Mingkunâs teaching skills are not good.â
âTo be able to raise Third Miss Tang like this, youâre not much better.â
Lu Ming retorted without hesitation. After a pause, he continued, âI said that I was going to give you the medicine, but I didnât say that the medicine was This Place No. 3, right? So I didnât violate the deal by giving you Xingwei. After all, I already told you before, right?â
In the next second, he looked at Tang Wenyi, who was pretending not to exist, and sneered. âWhat? Could it be that this Xingwei Preventive Medicine is not as powerful as you say? No way? Arenât those your own words? Or did my memory go haywire?â
â⦠No, n-no problem.â
His expression was obvious. Even Lu Ze could tell that something was wrong. His heart skipped a beat. The old master was even more disappointed!
âOh? Since thereâs no problem, how about we invite Third Miss Tang to help Lu Ze consume it?â
