Chapter 8 My Ex-Boyfriend Threatened My Life
As Lu Jingxiao approached Zhao Tingguo, he saw him retreating continuously, the fear and apprehension on his face genuine, even more so than that of the Li family father and son...
Zhao Tingguo looked at Luo Zhiwei and shouted in a panic, "Luo Zhiwei, you brat, come and help your old man!"
This is all because of Luo Zhiwei.
Zhao Tingguo felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was.
He hadn't been watching the news much these past few days, so he had no recollection of Lu Jingxiao. His only vague memory was that the man looked somewhat like Luo Zhiwei's ex-boyfriend.
Lu Jingxiao frowned and pressed closer, while Zhao Tingguo retreated step by step, clearly terrified.
Luo Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, was completely unmoved by his words. In fact, she was directly protected by Lu Jingxiao's three brothers.
Gu Yulin subtly glanced at Luo Zhiwei. This girl...
"Miss Luo, right? You can stand between us."
Anyone can get into trouble today, but you can't.
Given that Lu Jingxiao almost had a relapse just now, one can imagine how important Luo Zhiwei is to him.
Luo Zhiwei was a little unaccustomed to the sudden protection.
"Th...thank you."
"If you want to thank someone, thank Lu Jingxiao. If it weren't for him..."
We don't care whether you live or die.
Lu Jingxiao suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhao Tingguo across the face. He used all his strength in that slap, as if he wanted to vent the grievances Luo Zhiwei had suffered that morning.
"You're a fucking inhuman bastard, pushing your own daughter into a fire pit! You're really asking for death!"
Lu Jingxiao raised his other hand and slapped Zhao Tingguo hard across the face, leaving both sides of his face red and swollen.
"Who...who exactly are you? I'm the chairman of the Luo Group, aren't you afraid...?"
When Li Wei heard Zhao Tingguo's threatening words, he closed his eyes.
idiot!
Fortunately, the contract wasn't signed; otherwise, being tied to this kind of person would have meant the Li family's downfall sooner or later.
Lu Jingxiao laughed in anger, still with that contemptuous and arrogant laugh: "This is the first time I've heard someone threaten me like this."
"What kind of good-for-nothing who married into the Luo family?"
It's not that he looks down on sons-in-law who live with their wives' families; if he could, he would even like to be Aunt Luo's son-in-law.
He looked down on the man from humble beginnings from the very beginning.
Over the past few years, I really don't know what kind of spell he's cast on Aunt Luo, that she's allowed such a scumbag to bully Luo Zhiwei without doing anything about it.
Zhao Tingguo's face turned a deep purplish-red; it had been a long time since he had mentioned being Luo's son-in-law.
He wanted to argue, but the man in front of him didn't respect the Luo family at all, so he could only be angry but dare not speak out.
"Weiwei, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Lu Jingxiao's words meant that he wanted to stand up for Luo Zhiwei.
Luo Zhiwei stepped out from between the three of them and walked straight to Lu Jingxiao's side. Her eyes were cold and distant: "I will make my own decisions about my marriage. I don't need you to worry about it."
The man Zhao Tingguo found was someone he wanted to control.
This ensures that even if she gets married, she won't be able to take away any of the Luo family's shares.
Therefore, she will not get married.
She would rather be constrained for the rest of her life than marry someone she doesn't love.
"Today's mission is complete. If you miss one thing from what you promised me, I'll slash Zhao Yulan's face."
After Luo Zhiwei finished speaking, she left immediately.
Having shown Lu Jingxiao her such a disheveled state, she didn't want to stay any longer. She was afraid that she would reveal her vulnerable side and lose all composure in front of him.
Watching her departing figure, Lu Jingxiao was somewhat exasperated. As if venting his anger, he kicked Zhao Tingguo directly in the face.
凸(艹皿艹)！
Luo Zhiwei, you're really something, crossing the river and then burning the bridge, aren't you?
Don't rush, we have plenty of time.
See you at the office tomorrow.
**
The cold night wind lashed against Luo Zhiwei's face.
She wandered aimlessly through the streets, devoid of any vitality.
Luo Zhiwei didn't want to die; she just felt extremely ashamed and guilty.
Lu Jingxiao just happened to see this embarrassing scene.
She could already imagine how Lu Jingxiao would mock her when she went to the company tomorrow.
Luo Zhiwei, didn't you leave me with such certainty that you would be better off? What are you now?
Is this how you live your good life?
Just thinking about it made Luo Zhiwei feel suffocated.
She didn't know how she got home, but when she arrived, Zhao Tingguo was already waiting for her at the door.
Upon seeing her, Zhao Tingguo slapped her across the face, cursing, "You unfilial daughter, you're happy to see your father get beaten, aren't you? How dare you humiliate me like this! I'll beat you to death!"
Luo Zhiwei finally showed a hint of resistance: "Zhao Tingguo, everything that happened tonight is your own fault. What does it have to do with me? This is your retribution."
"You rebellious daughter!"
As Zhao Tingguo spoke, he raised his hand again, but before it could fall, Luo Zhiwei grabbed it: "Dad, you promised to give me all of Mom's belongings, so it's best if you don't miss a single one, otherwise... I don't mind suing you and making sure the Luo family ceases to exist."
"You... the Luo family is also your mother's life's work!"
"My mother is dead, who cares?"
She can't even take care of herself, so why should she care about the Luo family?
It took Zhao Tingguo a long time to suppress his anger. This little bitch dared to scheme against me!
Lin Wanru came out of the villa and comforted Zhao Tingguo in a sickeningly sweet voice: "Honey, calm down. It's not worth getting yourself upset over a little girl."
She whispered in Zhao Tingguo's ear, "Honey, since Luo Zhiwei knows so many wealthy young men, why don't we ask her to act as a matchmaker for our daughter? Any one of the men who show up tonight is from a top-tier wealthy family. If we..."
What's there to worry about?
She had heard that those people today were people they couldn't afford to mess with, and they were also highly eligible bachelors in the industry. If their daughters became someone's wives, then... wouldn't the day when the Luo Group was renamed the Zhao Group be far away?
At that time, everything belonging to the Luo family will be theirs.
Zhao Tingguo's mind raced, and he looked coldly at Luo Zhiwei: "Who is that Lu Jingxiao?"
He still felt that the person looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.
If it's some big shot in the industry, he couldn't possibly not know them.
Moreover, upon seeing the other person, there is a physiological aversion, a deep-seated rejection, as if one has done something wrong.
Luo Zhiwei found it amusing, and looked at Zhao Tingguo with a self-deprecating expression: "You don't know who he is?"
Zhao Tingguo frowned, clearly displeased.
What's that little bitch's expression?
Do you want to die?
"Just say it, why are you being so sarcastic!"
Lin Wanru swayed her hips as she walked towards Luo Zhiwei, her body emitting a pungent fragrance that made Luo Zhiwei want to sneeze.
"Weiwei, look at you, you really are something. You don't like the second young master of the Li family and you don't say anything, which makes your father and me misunderstand your feelings. If you had told us, your father and I wouldn't have forced you." Lin Wanru smiled with ulterior motives. "Weiwei, I heard that you know Li Huaijin, the heir of the Li family. Why don't you introduce him to your sister? The two of them are young people... don't you think?"
Of the four people, she thought it over and over and decided that only Li Huaijin was suitable.
Gu Yulin is the oldest, and his background and relationships are very complicated. She is worried that her daughter will not be able to handle it.
As for Si Ming... he's a bit too young, I don't know much about him, and the Si family is also a bit weak, so he's not suitable.
Lu Jingxiao... He hit Lao Zhao today. Even if she really wants her daughter to marry Lu Jingxiao, she has to hold back for now.
"Aunt Lin means that I should act as a matchmaker and introduce Zhao Yulan to Li Huaijin. Wouldn't it be best if the two of them could get together?"
That's natural.
Luo Zhiwei sneered, ignoring Lin Wanru, and instead looked at Zhao Tingguo indifferently: "Didn't you want to know who Lu Jingxiao is?"
Who is it?
Luo Zhiwei said, word by word, "Lu Jingxiao, the sole legal heir of the Lu Group, and the president of the Lu Group..."
Zhao Tingguo's heart sank, feeling a lingering fear.
"Yeah, you threatened my...ex-boyfriend with his life."
