Chapter 223 Not Enough
Tang Wenyi quickly remembered Gao Qiangguo’s avarice. She said hesitantly, “It should be enough, right? If it’s not enough, I’ll borrow more from the old master. After all, the Tang family is a prestigious family that doesn’t lack money! And on account of my precious son, the old master will definitely not stand by and do nothing.” Her words implied that he was cutting ties with Lu Yaohua, and that they were not on the same level at all!
Lu Yaohua forced a smile and said, “Wenyi, how can you say that? We’ve been husband and wife for so many years. We can’t really go our separate ways in the face of disaster, right? Lu Ze is my son too. I’m already thinking of ways to get him out.”
“Thinking of ways? Aren’t these ideas mine?”
She sneered disdainfully and said, “It’s really my bad luck to meet a piece of trash like you. Now, my sisters are all living better than me. At least their husbands have a place in Beijing! I don’t expect you to be rich, but your development in Shanghai is so poor. Tell me, what else can I count on you for?”
In the past, she still had to rely on Lu Yaohua to win the position of the family head, but now she no longer held any hope. She knew very well that if Lu Yaohua could be relied on, even a sow could climb a tree!
She looked at the time and said, “I can’t be bothered to say anything else to you. If you want to follow me, I’m fine with it. As long as you don’t perform as badly as in the previous court case! I looked for you to help our son, not to pretend to be deaf and mute and disabled to gain others’ sympathy!”
Obviously, Tang Wenyi was a person who bore grudges. After so many days, she had not forgotten about this matter.
Lu Yaohua couldn’t care less as he watched her leave. He followed her in a hurry! This was a good opportunity to befriend big shots. What if he could use this opportunity to soar? At that time, even if Tang Wenyi begged him not to leave, he would not look back!
Tang Wenyi had the Tang family as her backer, but he still had Lu Ming! He did not believe that their relationship would deteriorate because of these small things. At most, he would kowtow to his ex-wife’s grave!
He thought very simply, but if Lu Ming knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him not to daydream because everything he was doing now was to make Lu Yaohua and the Tang family pay with their lives! How could he let the other party off so easily? Lu Ming was not stupid! Balance Street, a private villa in an expensive area.
Gao Qiangguo did not want to see Tang Wenyi and Lu Yaohua at first. He had heard recently that this couple had offended a big shot in the business world, so they were living a miserable life. He would not gain anything from this couple. However, Tang Boyan had greeted him in advance.
So he had to meet them out of consideration for Tang Boyan. When he saw Tang Wenyi carrying two black suitcases, his eyes instantly lit up. Even his tone softened a little. “Ms. Tang, Mr. Lu, we haven’t met in a while, right? The last time I remember… was about a year ago? So why are you looking for me this time?”
“Mr. Gao, I think you should have heard. Ah Ze was framed and jailed for life. Our family only has one precious son, so I hope you can help.”
Tang Wenyi pressed a button to open the suitcase and reveal the red banknotes inside. She had taken them out from the bank on her way to meet him and said humbly, “5 million yuan. Please help to release my son in advance. To you, this is something that can be done with a flick of your finger. Do you think… that’s possible?”
Gao Qiang picked up the cash gently as if he was caressing a lover and said, “As far as I know, your son was sentenced to life imprisonment because the evidence was conclusive, right? This case caused quite a sensation outside. He has so many lives on his back at such a young age. All eyes are on him. How could I make a reckless move?”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “If I’m caught, not only will my position go to someone else, but I’ll also be investigated by the higher-ups. It’s really not worth it going so far for a stranger. Besides, do the two of you think your son’s life is only worth 5 million yuan?”
In short, the money fell short of his expectations.
Tang Wenyi’s expression turned ugly. Isn’t your appetite a little too big? she thought. She suppressed the frustration in her heart and said patiently, “Mr. Gao, you have worked with our Tang family for many years. Can’t you help us on account of Old Master?”
“I’ve already let you in on account of Tang Boyan. Otherwise, do you think you can see me with your current net worth? Do you know how many people beg me for help every day? Unfortunately, only a few can see me. You should be happy.”
Gao Qiang took a lighter from his pocket and lit a branded cigarette.
