79 079 Mention of inheritance again
◎ Make plans. ◎
The Lu family is in a precarious situation, its capital chain is broken, various projects cannot be carried out, and banks no longer lend money. However, that M&A project is still like a vampire, clinging to this crumbling tree, constantly absorbing nutrients. Even though the Lu family is unwilling, they cannot cut it off.
The operation of the entire group has fallen into a vicious circle and is unable to move forward.
There was no need for the old lady to mediate between Lu Hui and Jiang Xiu. The two of them had already gathered together tacitly and began to discuss countermeasures. Although neither of them had a happy expression on their faces and the atmosphere was very low, they still maintained a final decent discussion.
"Do you have any money left?" Lu Hui asked proactively.
"No, I've already invested it all for your merger and acquisition case. I told you at the beginning that this is a bottomless pit and there will be no good result, but you still risked your life to blow up the pit without hesitation. Is it because that beautiful translator is too attractive that you can't control yourself?" Jiang Xiu was still answering him calmly at first, but when he thought of the whereabouts of the funds in his hands, a nameless anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but confront him in a very sarcastic tone.
"I've told you, I have nothing to do with that translator. When I was working on a project, have you ever seen me fail to distinguish between public and private matters?" Lu Hui's face suddenly darkened and he asked in a cold tone.
"How would I know? How could a housewife who cooks for you at home all year round understand how much fun you, the chairman, have in private? I even took pictures of you touching her. If I wasn't afraid of affecting the company, I would report it to the police and sue you for sexual harassment in the workplace." Jiang Xiu didn't tolerate him at all. She hit back without any hesitation and specifically picked on his weaknesses to attack.
"The photo is fake. How many times do you want me to tell you that? And when we're talking about business, can you stop talking about these useless things? It's a complete waste of time. If you have the energy, you should go make money instead of staring at my crotch all day long!"
Ever since Jiang Xiu broke off relations with him, Lu Hui stopped pretending and completely let himself go, saying whatever he wanted.
For example, now he can even say words like "staring at the crotch", which is clearly humiliating.
"What's so good about an old man like you? Can you not be so confident? You're just pretending to be so arrogant. It's true what they said, all the men in your Lu family are pretentious." Jiang Xiu sneered.
In fact, she was extremely angry in her heart and wanted to stand up and slap him twice. Such words actually came from the mouth of the person next to her. She really didn't know him well enough.
But if she really did that, she would be at a disadvantage, as if she still loved him that much and would be easily angered by him, so she thought of the words in an instant and humiliated him directly back.
The couple looked at each other and saw disgust and impatience on each other's faces.
Love wrapped in beautiful colored paper seems to be as sweet as honey, but when the colored paper is peeled off, it is found to be bitter and astringent, and extremely hypocritical.
"You signed this merger personally. Even if I took away your authority, you still refused to give up. Lu Hui, if you are still a man, you should find a way to make amends. People always have to pay the price for their decisions." Jiang Xiu didn't want to stare at him. Looking at his old face, she no longer had the thought of sharing weal and woe with him. She could only feel downcast.
It would be better to hurry up and resolve all these dirty things, stay away from him, and never have to face this old guy again.
When talking about these things, Lu Hui's back immediately became stiff. He poured himself a cup of tea to cover up his embarrassment.
"Speak up. It's already this hour. There's no need to act so pretentiously." Jiang Xiu urged him, and his words were very impolite, as if he wanted to tear off his face and step on it.
"Let me think about it. How can I explain it to you clearly? Why am I rushing you? Who is waiting for you to go to the hospital to deliver the baby?" He said angrily. After a pause, he complained unwillingly, "You were obviously not like this before. Why are you so rude now? Have you been led astray by others?"
"I used to be very rude, but it was only because I loved you and was immersed in the beautiful dream you wove. I was happy every day and of course I treated you gently. Now I get annoyed when I see you. Am I not allowed to curse when I'm in a bad mood? Who made that rule?" She sneered, with a strong disdain in her tone.
"Let's get serious. Where did your money go?" She brought the subject back, feeling a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart.
After a couple has a falling out, talking about serious matters becomes irritating and they start quarreling after just a few words. It is simply unavoidable.
It was obvious that when they were dealing with other people, no matter how much resentment they had in their hearts, they would not be so emotional, but when facing the person they had slept with for decades, they really couldn't control themselves.
On the contrary, because the two of them are too familiar with each other, they know every weakness of each other and can always hit the key points directly. The more the argument becomes more fierce, the easier it is to deviate from the topic.
"I don't have any money either, but the money has already been invested. The acquired company is not small, so initial capital is definitely needed." He scratched his head in annoyance, and his hairstyle, which had been meticulously groomed, instantly became messy.
Jiang Xiu wanted to curse again. What a crazy person! For a merger and acquisition case, they had to spend money in the early stage and even more money in the later stage. The Shengtian Group, which was already struggling under a heavy burden, was now tied to such a heavy piece of waste. It was bound to be dragged down. It was not unfair for it to go bankrupt.
"You're such a loser, why did I fall for you in the first place?"
Things have developed to this point, and there is actually no point in scolding her, but it would be even more unpleasant not to scold her.
What's more, she and Lu Hui have already broken up, so she doesn't have to worry about his face at all and can just curse him as much as she wants.
"Who told you to be blind and look for someone? And you blame me?" Lu Hui sneered. Now he would not be broken by such words.
Although after hearing this, I still felt furious, but yelling was the worst option. The best way was to drag her into the water with me.
Sure enough, after hearing this taunt, Jiang Xiu's expression became even uglier. The couple looked at each other again, as if they were looking at their own biggest worry, with eyes full of hostility towards each other.
"Indeed, fortunately I have recovered my sight now." Jiang Xiu stood up and prepared to leave.
Two poor guys can't discuss anything face to face, so they might as well go their separate ways to avoid having to face each other again.
"Wait, call Ren Lu. Now is a matter of life and death for the Lu family. She should have a lot of cash in her hands. It's time for her to take it out for emergency." Lu Hui stopped her and said in a stiff voice.
Apparently he also felt it was a bit shameful to ask his daughter-in-law for money, but now he had been pushed to the limit.
"You old thing, you are really a coward. You even set your sights on your daughter-in-law's inheritance. She only has that little money, and you have secretly asked for it several times. If she doesn't give it out, you will have to worry about it for the rest of your life!" Jiang Xiu looked at him with contempt and sneered.
"What do you mean I'll be thinking about it for the rest of my life? We should have a share of the inheritance. Si Nian's inheritance can be divided among his parents, wife, and children. Even if he made a will in advance and left many things to Ren Lu, strictly speaking, we can also get some things instead of giving it all to her."
"Besides, Si Nian has left an illegitimate child in this world. If we sue again, I'm afraid Ren Lu will have to pay out even more money--" Lu Hui tried to persuade her.
Jiang Xiu didn't want to listen at all, and said coldly: "If you want it so much, just tell her yourself, I can't afford to lose this person."
After saying this, Jiang Xiu left. The first thing he did after getting in the car was to call Ren Lu to inform her about this matter.
"Lulu, I just had a fight with Lu Hui. He has no money left and can't get any money from me. His funding chain is broken, so he is eyeing your inheritance. No matter what he says to impress you, don't pay attention to him. Shengtian Group is a bottomless pit now. No matter how much money you send in, it will be in vain..."
"Okay, Mom, I got it."
"Also, he might threaten you through that illegitimate child. If you really want to sue him, don't be afraid. Just drag it out with him. He can't wait."
When Ren Lu heard this, her brows immediately raised, but her tone became much more relaxed.
"Mom, don't worry. I believe Si Nian. That child is definitely not his. Lu Hui can't get any money from me."
"Ah?" Jiang Xiu was stunned by her words of trust. She thought to herself that the paternity test was out, could it be fake?
But we can't pour cold water on her at this time. We can only say that my daughter-in-law is in love again. Even when the real evidence is placed in front of her, she doesn't believe it.
"Sometimes you can't trust men too much. Look at Lu Hui, he looks like a decent human being, but in fact he was just pretending well. It took him so many years to be exposed." Jiang Xiu couldn't help but give some advice.
Ren Lu was amused again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly hung up the phone.
"Mom called? What did she say?" Lu Siyue asked curiously.
"Your father said he wanted my inheritance to make up for the deficit of the Lu family." Ren Lu did not hide it from her.
"Your inheritance is not enough to spend, and he still asks you for money? I'll call him." Lu Siyue frowned immediately, took out his cell phone and prepared to dial.
Ren Lu held her down and said, "Let's talk after dad calls."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Lu's cell phone rang, and the words "Lu Hui" were really written on the screen. The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other, and saw a bit of speechlessness on each other's faces.
"Let me speak for you?" Lu Siyue volunteered.
Ren Lu waved her hand and answered the call. Her tone immediately became friendly and sweet: "Dad, you called at the right time. Do you have any money? I just saw a top-grade blue diamond, it's as big as a pigeon egg, but I don't have enough money. Can you lend it to me?"
Lu Hui, who was about to bite the bullet and ask for a loan, froze instantly when he heard these words. He even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"What do you mean? I remember there was a lot of cash in the bank among the inheritance that Si Nian left you."
"Yes, I have, but I've spent it all. I've even been on the hot search. I just bought a huge ship and a pink diamond, which I snatched from Lin Hengrong and his wife—"
She started showing off to him happily, but before she could finish her words, a busy tone came from her phone.
"Hang up." Ren Lu shrugged at Lu Siyue.
The little girl blinked and gave her a thumbs up.
"You are awesome, Dad must be scolding you over there as a loser woman."
"I have no choice. I've worked hard all these years just to spend my husband's inheritance." Ren Lu was so happy to be praised that even her eyes narrowed with smile.
