Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 346: Demand

Tang Wenyi took a deep breath. She really expected better from him. Why did he become so timid after the divorce? In the past, no matter what she said, he would agree confidently. Now, before she said anything, he shrank into his shell! She really looked down on him! However, this also allowed her to recognize his true colors.

Such a timid man was indeed not worthy of her!

“Lu Yaohua, do you think I’m such a person?”

Aren’t you??he thought.

Lu Yaohua rolled his eyes. She did her best to make use of everything at hand until there was no value left. Then she abandoned him without looking back. However, he knew that she was not someone he could afford to offend, so he said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ve been too sensitive recently. There are so many people who want to work for the Tang family’s Third Miss. It’s my honor that you’re looking for me.

But there’s really very little I can do now. Please forgive me.”

He had indirectly rejected Tang Wenyi’s request. Although his words were very respectful, she could hear the sarcasm in them. She smirked. If it weren’t for the fact that she needed his help, she would have hung up! She smiled insincerely and said, “It’s not a big deal. Help me contact Lei Jiacheng. I have a collaboration to discuss with you.”

Collaboration!?

Someone sent him a pillow the moment he fell asleep. It seemed that even the heavens didn’t want him to die! Lu Yaohua was overjoyed. He finally found his 300,000 yuan! Hence, he couldn’t resist asking in an obsequious tone, “What’s the collaboration about? How much can we get if it succeeds?”

The first thing he asked was how much. Is he that short of money?

Tang Wenyi looked down on him even more and said, “A million is not a problem. I’ll find an excuse to return to Shanghai in the next few days. When the time comes, call Lei Jiacheng out and we’ll have a good talk.”

She knew that her relationship with Lei Jiacheng was average and that he could only be contacted through Xu Xiaojing, who was slightly better. However, after so many days, there was still no news from him. She also had no way of directly touching base with Lei Jiacheng, so she had to ask Lu Yaohua, who was once his best friend, to try.

After all, their relationship was better than her fake relationship with her friend, Xu Xiaojing.

“But in my current situation, I’m afraid the Lei family doesn’t even want to see me. I neither look decent nor have the money to buy gifts. No one would want to be related to a cripple. I’ll stop here. You should know what I mean, right?”

Afraid that she would pretend to be stupid, Lu Yaohua continued, “There are holes in my clothes and pants. I look like one of those beggars under the bridge. Perhaps they’re not as down and out as me! I also know the importance of this matter, but if I fail…”

His words were a threat!

In an instant, Tang Wenyi frowned. She couldn’t help but sigh at the importance of money. How long had it been? The other party had completely fallen into the bad ways of a hooligan. It was as if she had committed a heinous crime by not paying! This also made her clearly realize that they were from two different worlds.

“How much do you want?”

“100,000!”

Lu Yaohua said without thinking. Then he revealed a strange smile and said, “This bit of money should be nothing to a rich missy like you, right? No matter what, your family background is much richer than a commoner like me. Don’t worry, as long as you give me every cent, I’ll probably be able to settle this matter for you.”

“Are you kidding me?! Why don’t you go rob a bank!”

Tang Wenyi retorted angrily.?He asked for 100,000 yuan right away. Isn’t his appetite a little too big? Does he really think I am a living Bodhisattva??She had to budget the money she saved, but now, she had to spend 100,000 yuan just to hire a person! She might as well pay the elders at the family meeting to gain their favor!

She had been trying to save as much as she could despite losing face in doing so! However, now she was being forced to spend money extravagantly! Then what was the point of making all that effort to save money?

Her chest heaved violently. After regaining a little rationality, she said, “100,000 yuan is too much. Even if you buy a greeting gift, you won’t need to pay so much. Lei Jiacheng also knows your situation, so he naturally won’t make things difficult for you. At most, you can just say a few good words. How about this? I’ll give you 50,000 yuan. It’s enough for you to change into good clothes and meet him.”

“… Wenyi, if you weren’t a member of the Tang family, I might have agreed to this 50,000 yuan today. But just because you don’t have money doesn’t mean that the Tang family doesn’t have money! It’s very simple to get me to do things. Pay me enough money! I don’t believe that the pocket money Old Master gives you isn’t even 100,000 yuan!”

Lu Yaohua said firmly. This time, he was determined to take advantage of her. Who had caused him to fall to such a state? She and the Tang family were also responsible. She had forced a divorce when he was down and out. And if he had been more careful, Tang Wenyi would have been the one who signed the loan contract!

If the two of them were to split the loan equally, would he be forced into such a tight corner by the debt collectors? Fawning on people everywhere, begging for mercy! Since Tang Wenyi could not understand such despair, it would not be too much to demand money from her, right? Besides, he felt that he was already very restrained. If he was any greedier, he would start at 200,000 yuan!

“If I go to Lei Jiacheng, I’m quite confident that I’ll succeed. This deal is equivalent to a guaranteed profit. I think you should think about it again. Since you come looking for me, it means that I’m your last hope. In other words, you can only achieve your goal through this channel!”

Tang Wenyi’s face contorted when she heard these words. Her sore right hand accidentally scratched the bedsheets. She gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t you think you’re too much?! Aren’t you just relying on the fact that I have a favor to ask of you to show off here? Now, for the sake of money, you don’t even care about saving face!”

At this point, she paused and started to play the emotional card. “Lu Yaohua, you’ve changed too much! You weren’t like this in the past! What’s wrong with you? Why have you suddenly become the person you hate the most?”

Lu Yaohua was silent for a long time. Just as she said, he looked down on people who were shameless for money back then. He thought that such people were uneducated and were like hooligans. They lived idle lives and their very existence was a mistake!

However, who would have thought that the heavens would take a turn for the worse? Now, it was his turn to be suppressed by reality to the point of having no choice but to lower his head! Hence, he said sarcastically, “Miss, if it were me, you might not be able to do as well as me!”
