Chapter 23 Weiwei's Attempt to Rebel
Before Lu Jingxiao could even offer his explanation, Luo Zhiwei pushed open the door and left.
She needed to escape this place, so she simply hailed a taxi and left.
Back home, Luo Zhiwei looked at the people sitting on the sofa. They were clearly a family of three, but she felt as if she had entered a courtroom for the Third Trial, not a home.
But she was overthinking it.
This place is no longer her home.
Zhao Tingguo gave Luo Zhiwei a cold look and raised his teacup as if to smash it at her. But just as he made the move, Luo Zhiwei's cold warning voice rang out: "If you dare to break even one piece of this tea set, I'll risk my life to fight you!"
She hadn't been home for two days, and the tea set at home had been replaced with a new one.
The new outfit is the one my mother loved most when she was alive.
She had carefully kept this tea set, reluctant to use it herself, but Zhao Tingguo had unexpectedly brought it out.
Zhao Tingguo saw the sinister look in her eyes, her face filled with stubbornness and a willingness to die.
He felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a little guilty, and awkwardly put down his teacup, looking at Luo Zhiwei with an angry expression: "You brat, you've gotten bolder lately, haven't you? You haven't even come home?"
“Isn’t my not coming back exactly what Lin Wanru wanted? I’m making room for your family of three.”
Luo Zhiwei spoke sarcastically, but inwardly she was even more utterly disappointed.
Five years have passed.
Her heart, which had been on the verge of death, suddenly came back to life.
Zhao Tingguo, these past five years are what you owe me.
The game will eventually end.
Since I don't want to die, I will take back everything the Luo family owns.
Lin Wanru immediately put on a wronged look, grabbing Zhao Tingguo's arm and looking pitiful. Luo Zhiwei said she couldn't imitate it: "Old Zhao, I really can't control your daughter. She actually thinks of me like this. I... I'm a mother too, how could I mistreat her?"
Zhao Tingguo quickly and gently comforted Lin Wanru in a low voice: "Don't be sad. I'll teach this unfilial daughter a lesson and I'll definitely get revenge for you."
He then turned to look at Luo Zhiwei: "Look how angry you've made your mother! Hurry up and apologize!"
It turns out that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.
"Zhao Tingguo, are you senile? My mother has been dead for five years, and she...?" Luo Zhiwei sneered, "What kind of mother is a shameless mistress who rose to power?"
"You...you unfilial daughter!"
Zhao Tingguo wanted nothing more than to slap him: "Apologize right now!"
"You called me back just to scold me?"
That's really messed up.
Luo Zhiwei had no idea that she had become like this.
If it were before, no matter what Zhao Tingguo did or said to her, she wouldn't argue back. A person who has lost hope in life doesn't care how they live.
But she can't die yet, so she can't let Zhao Tingguo torment her any longer.
She can't die until she pays back the money.
Even if I die, I'll drag Zhao Tingguo down with me.
Luo Zhiwei had no time to pay attention to them and was about to go upstairs when Zhao Tingguo called out to her, "Stop!"
"What is it? Speak."
Zhao Tingguo suddenly asked in confusion, "You were in a car accident?"
"Um."
Luo Zhiwei didn't think Zhao Tingguo cared about her; more likely, he intended to hold her accountable.
Zhao Tingguo grabbed something and threw it at Luo Zhiwei, cursing as he did so: "You unfilial daughter, if you want to die, can't you find a secluded place to die? Either jump off the building or go find your death on the roadside. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
Luo Zhiwei frowned.
She didn't quite understand; wasn't wanting to die a good thing?
Why is Zhao Tingguo making such a big fuss?
Zhao Yulan sat to the side and said sarcastically, "Sister, how could you be so foolish? If you die, Dad will be very sad, and we will all worry about you."
If Zhao Yulan hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have been able to guess Zhao Tingguo's sudden accusation. Now, it's clear to everyone what he's really up to.
Luo Zhiwei suddenly relaxed a bit: "Is that so? Zhao Tingguo is afraid that if I die in public, he won't get a single share of Luo's shares, right?"
Sometimes, she really admires her mother.
Even if I die, I can still protect her.
In recent years, apart from her illness, Zhao Tingguo and his family of three have tried every means to torment her from time to time, so that nothing bad would happen to her, but they also dared not let her die.
My mother's will clearly states that if she is missing for more than two weeks before officially inheriting the estate, the shares of the Lothar Group will automatically be taken over by the foundation, and after more than six months, they will be automatically donated to the country.
This is also why Zhao Tingguo tolerated Luo Zhiwei.
As long as Luo Zhiwei is alive, they will receive money.
With Luo Zhiwei dead, they're nothing.
The only condition for her to inherit the family fortune was to get married.
This is why Zhao Tingguo threatened her to break up with Lu Jingxiao right after her mother passed away.
She had no idea of Lu Jingxiao's identity at the time; she was only afraid that Zhao Tingguo would use the Luo family's power to harm Lu Jingxiao, so she had no choice but to break up with him.
In recent years, Zhao Tingguo has also wanted her to get married, but... the marriage partner has to be carefully selected by him, because only in this way will she still be under Zhao Tingguo's control, and even if she inherits the shares of Luo's, they will naturally fall into his hands.
Zhao Tingguo had been planning this for several years, but without success.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about? Am I...am I that kind of person?"
Zhao Tingguo felt somewhat guilty and retorted awkwardly.
You brat.
"Don't you know the truth in your heart?" Luo Zhiwei continued, "Since you know I was in a car accident, you should know who I hurt. I'm working to pay off my debts now, so you'd better not mess with me, otherwise... I'll expose this and make you pay for it."
"you....."
Zhao Tingguo had a gloomy face, wanting to lash out but unable to.
How could he not know that Luo Zhiwei had actually hit Lu Jingxiao's car and even had to pay compensation?
"By the way, starting today, I'm moving out. Also, I'm taking all of Mom's belongings. Otherwise... I'll just marry someone random and you won't get a single penny." Luo Zhiwei suddenly wanted to rebel: "Of course, if you dare to stop me, I don't mind doing a live-streamed suicide. As long as I die in public, you still won't get a single penny."
"Rebellious daughter! Rebellious daughter!"
Zhao Tingguo was so angry that his hands were trembling.
That little bitch is just as despicable as her mother!
"That won't do. What if you take all your mother's things and then become disobedient?"
Lin Wanru reacted quickly; her goal was still to control Luo Zhiwei.
Once Luo Huining's things are all taken by Luo Zhiwei, then Luo Zhiwei will no longer obediently listen to her.
What if... I just marry anyone and get the inheritance?
Absolutely not.
"So what do you want?"
Lin Wanru hesitated. She hadn't thought it through and didn't know what to ask Luo Zhiwei to do.
Zhao Tingguo pondered for a while, then looked up at Luo Zhiwei coldly: "It's Old Master Gu's 80th birthday in two days. Find a way to get us an invitation. I'll let you take five of your mother's belongings with you."
Luo Zhiwei's mind raced: "Okay."
