Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother-Chapter 79 - Who Gave You the Guts?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Yaohua only came to his senses now. He looked in astonishment at Lu Ming, who was surrounded by the big shots. He realized that if he did not sell his piece of land, he would be able to gain a substantial amount of money. Perhaps his status would even rise!

However, everything had been disrupted by Lu Ming!

His mind was in a mess.?What have I done? Have I personally given away the most profitable thing??he asked himself.

What about the fortune-teller from before??he wondered.

Could he be an actor hired by Lu Ming? Had Lu Ming been eyeing that piece of land in the suburbs for a long time?

Lu Ming had played him for a fool. Lu Yaohua was betrayed and yet he was helping Lu Ming to earn money!

Then…

He wondered if those big shots added 100 thousand yuan at the auction because they had a good relationship with Lu Ming.

How was this possible??he thought.

Why should they help Lu Ming unconditionally?

Perhaps it was a coincidence?

He looked instinctively at the manager, who was adjusting his glasses and flashing a perfect smile.

Lu Yaohua strode forward and grabbed his collar. “You lied to me! How could this piece of land be only worth 100 million yuan?! Tell me! Were you in cahoots with Lu Ming?!”

According to Lu Ming, 1 billion yuan on this piece of land would not be a problem!

Yet he had only received a fraction of the price! How could he accept this?

“When did I lie to you? I said that I could sell it for 100 million yuan, right? No one bought it for 200 million yuan. The facts proved that I was right. There were only a few bidders.”

The manager continued calmly, “Besides, I know Mr. Lu Ming, but we are only friends. Don’t overthink.”

How could Lu Yaohua not think about it?

This was a setup! If the fortune-teller had not talked about the gravity of the bad feng shui, would he be in such a hurry to sell the land? If not for the manager fooling him that the land was not worth anything, he would not have sold it to Lu Ming at such a low price!

Now he bitterly regretted his decision! This was a f*cking big loss!

“I don’t believe it! Did you listen to Lu Ming and decide to cheat me?”

The manager pulled his hand away and said, “Mr. Lu, I have to say this. You are thinking too much. If I am really in cahoots with Mr. Lu Ming, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, I will only think that you are spouting nonsense.”

How could Lu Yaohua have evidence?

After all, he only realized that he had been deceived now. He turned his attention to Lu Ming and said indignantly, “Why? Why do you know so much? You, you shouldn’t be like this!”

When did his elder son, whom he looked down on, grow to such an extent? He was so outstanding that he seemed unfamiliar to him.

He even began to suspect if he was really his seed.

His instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong made him blame Lu Ming. He completely forgot that Han Qianjing, Tang Er, and the rest were in collusion!

The system went online again:

“In response to your father’s question, please make one of the following choices:

[Option 1: Turn a deaf ear. Reward: An aloof man’s halo.

Option 2: Answer patiently. Reward: Title ‘Friendly’.

Option 3: Return an eye for an eye. Reward: Superior culinary skills.]

What do I need that for?

As for answering patiently? What a joke!?he thought. He had patience for anyone but Lu Yaohua’s family!

Then there was only option 3 left!

Although he rarely cooked, having culinary skills was better than not having any.

So Lu Ming sneered. “Then what should I be like? Mr. Lu, your words are really interesting. This industry is all about fighting to the bitter end. Why should I show mercy? Do I look like a fool to you? Before I hit you, do I have to tell you that I’m going to hit you?

Stop joking. I don’t think anyone with a normal IQ would do that. Besides, weren’t you able to pay your debts because I bought your land? Otherwise, the debt collectors would have run to your house, right? I didn’t even ask you to thank me but you still have the cheek to question me?

Who gave you the guts?”

His words almost made Lu Yaohua spit blood. However, he could not retort. He could only point at Lu Ming with his index finger and say, “You! I, I am your…”

Before he could finish, Lu Ming interrupted him. “What about you? Are you sure you want to say it in public? But I don’t mind telling everyone what you’ve done.”

His eyes were filled with coldness, which sobered Lu Yaohua up a little.

Yes, he was the one who was in the wrong now. If Lu Ming told everyone about how he abandoned his wife and son back then, his reputation would be ruined.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll remember this!”

Then he scurried away.

Tang Er had not cut off the phone connection with Tang Mingkun, so Tang Mingkun naturally heard what was going on. He looked smugly at his good friend, Old Yang, and said, “How is it? Didn’t I tell you that that child never does business that incur losses?”

It was indeed amazing to have such courage and observation!

Old Yang nodded slightly and said, “You were giving that piece of land to him just like that? Don’t you feel bad? Don’t you regret helping him? The profits that that piece of land can bring are very high. Even I was a little tempted.”

Tang Er had chosen to help because he had obtained Tang Mingkun’s permission. Otherwise, he would not have acted rashly.

Moreover, in order for Tang Mingkun to be aware of the situation at the auction, the two of them had been on the phone from the start. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

“I have to say, I was tempted, but I don’t regret helping him.”

Tang Mingkun said calmly. His hand did not stop moving. “Captured. Your form is not good today! Perhaps the value of that piece of land will be maximized in Lu Ming’s hands. Besides, with my current status, I don’t lack this bit of money.”

“That’s very generous of you. Why? Do you want to help him move up the ladder?”

Old Yang asked curiously, “Didn’t you say that you don’t intend to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation?”

Tang Mingkun smiled and said, “It’s rare to meet a kid like him. I’m looking forward to seeing him again.”

“Now that you mentioned it, I’m looking forward to it too.”

…

Meanwhile, Tang Er bowed to Lu Ming and said in a low voice, “Old Master asked me to tell you that if you meet with any trouble, go look for him. I have something to do and will leave first. See you next time.”

“Convey my thanks to him for his kindness. Goodbye.”

Lu Ming chuckled.?Is this the benefit of having a powerful backer??he thought.

Just as the guests at the auction were planning to go home, they saw Chu Jinyu holding Lu Ming’s hand and saying, “Brother Lu Ming, do you have anything to attend to?”

They stopped in their tracks.?What is going on? What are they doing now??they wondered.

“If you have time, come home with me. How about that?”
