Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother-Chapter 123 - I Will Give You A Sum of Money!

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

“I didn’t understand at the time. In order to support Lu Yaohua’s career, Mom gave up her stable and well-paid job and came all the way to Shanghai. How could Lu Yaohua be so heartless? Before they even got a divorce, Lu Yaohua had his eyes on his second wife.

Not only did he abandon his wife and son, but he also wanted to erase our existence. His wife, Tang Wenyi, ordered every company in Shanghai not to hire my mom, leaving her no choice but to work low-paying jobs. There were many times when I woke up at night and saw her doing handiwork.

All those years, Lu Yaohua didn’t care about me and my mother. He didn’t even know when my mom passed away. We were so poor that we had nothing to eat. Once, Mom hadn’t eaten for two days, but she fed me the remaining bread so that I could grow. She even lied to me that there was more.”

How could there be more?

The bit of bread was scavenged from some nook or cranny.

Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “Mom would have starved to death. So I looked for Lu Yaohua to borrow some money. But I did not get to see him. Instead, I ran into Tang Wenyi. She made me kneel in the rain and gave me a sum of money if I promised not to look for them again.”

He had to survive.

He had no choice but to accept her money.

“Mom and I were in dire straits. We could not even compare with the beggars living under the bridge, so we would beg or pick up trash by the roadside. I remember that one time, Mom accidentally walked past the Lu Corporation with trash in her hands. She just looked from afar and did not say anything.

But I know then that we and Lu Yaohua belonged to different worlds.

After a few years of not seeing each other, Lu Yaohua came to find me. I thought that he finally wanted to apologize, but to my surprise, it turned out that my younger brother, whom I’d never met before, had uremia. They wanted me to offer up my kidney for him, so I gave them a scolding.”

Lu Ming exhaled deeply and said, “Mom was headstrong all her life and was never willing to bow down to them. However, when she fell seriously ill in bed and was delirious, she said, ‘This building is really tall!’ Before she died, she was afraid that I would never be able to make a name for myself under

Tang Wenyi’s oppression, so she asked me to look for Lu Yaohua.

But I didn’t go because I’d rather starve than be laughed at by them.”

If the system had found me sooner, would Mom have passed away? Lu Ming wondered.

However, he knew that his mother’s passing was not within his control. Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi were the culprits!

He raised three incense sticks and bowed to the grave, then stuck them into the ground. As he burned the paper money, he said, “Mom, thank you for giving birth to me and raising me. Even in the most difficult circumstances, you would not abandon me. Even now, I still remember your teachings.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to repay your kindness.

But I won’t let go of anyone who killed you! I’ll make them go to hell to accompany you. I hope you can rest in peace. If there’s a next life, you must be born into a happy family. The good partner you choose will definitely love you wholeheartedly.”

He had never believed in ghosts and gods.

But when it came to his mother, he hoped for good karma.

He wanted his mother to see him as he was now. Her once frail son had grown up and had the resources to deal with the Lu Corporation.

“Recently, I destroyed the Lu Corporation. Did you see that? From now on, I will build a company bigger than the Lu Corporation. So what if it’s the Tang family in Beijing? As long as it’s someone who bullied you back then, I will pull and cut the person down!”

Lu Ming said firmly. This was his vow.

He was not aware that He Xiaopeng was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Putting aside the gossip about the rich, just the latter part of the story told him that this person was responsible for a series of consecutive losses that the Lu Corporation suffered! How could this young man, who had just

graduated, force the Lu Corporation to restructure its assets?

In He Xiaopeng’s opinion, Lu Yaohua had abandoned his wife and son to pursue fame and fortune, never expecting his son to become so successful.

Lu Yaohua had raised a formidable opponent with his own hands.

He had brought it on himself.

If Lu Yaohua had not made this choice, he would not have fallen to such a state.

Now he completely believed that the relationship between this father and son was not good. When he thought of what he said not long ago—only ghosts would believe Lu Ming’s story—his face became flushed. It was too embarrassing!

I refused to believe that he was telling the truth.

Leven retorted that they were monitoring me. Lu Ming did not know me at all. Why would he spend time monitoring me?

This is so embarrassing! he thought.

If he had not been overwhelmed by anger, he would definitely remember how Lu Ming sounded when he mentioned Lu Yaohua. Did that sound like he was talking about his family? He was obviously talking about his enemy!

What was I thinking?

The other party had helped me out of goodwill, but I thought he was up to no good!

With his status, why would Lu Ming need to specially deal with me? Lu Ming could easily destroy the Lu Corporation. If he really wants to harm me, won’t he be able to finish me off easily?

Even if he doesn’t do it personally, there are many people who will be willing to be Lu Ming’s hitmen.

They could kill me by subtle means, without spilling blood.

Before he could think of a way to break the heavy atmosphere, Lu Ming stood up and said, “I need many capable and talented people to achieve my ultimate goal. If you don’t want to go against the Tang family, I can understand that. After all, everyone wants to protect themselves.

I will give you a sum of money to develop a new energy vehicle that can send shock waves throughout China. By then you can make a name for yourself. I will give you the right to choose.”

He Xiaopeng looked at Lu Ming’s back and felt that he had become much taller for some reason.

Lu Ming told him everything. He wondered if he was worthy of this trust. No, no, no. Perhaps Lu Ming already trusted me. Otherwise, why would he tell me everything? He Xiaopeng thought.

If that was the case, Lu Ming had let down his guard with him.

Moreover, even if he chose to back out, Lu Ming would still give him some money to start a business. If it was anyone else, they would definitely coerce him to follow them or let him perish on his own.

In fact, when he heard that they were going to deal with the Tang family, he instinctively wanted to back out.

No matter how ignorant he was, he knew how powerful the Tang family was in the capital! They had been an established family for many years. The Lu Corporation was nothing compared to the Tang family!

But.

These words stirred up a thousand waves in his calm heart. Perhaps Lu Ming could really do it? 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Perhaps we could really start a new era together.

Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps!
