"Father, can't we still borrow money from the bank?"
Lei Chao said weakly…
"We can't borrow anymore. The Lei family has staked everything we have; we've mortgaged everything that can be pledged. Now, such a large project without funding will simply fail. All the suppliers, contractors, and banks will be coming to collect their debts. We have nothing left except tens of millions in outstanding debts..."
Lei's father said, somewhat disoriented, that he was panicked, truly panicked...
Lei Chao was dumbfounded. He'd only flirted with a poor girl's sister, and that poor girl had bankrupted him with a single phone call? Who would believe that?!
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible... You're lying to me, aren't you? Our Lei family is so rich, how could we be poor?"
Lei Chao couldn't believe it was true; it was clear this was a huge blow to him…
Snap!
Another slap landed on his face, and Lei's father was truly enraged. He couldn't understand how he had raised such a scoundrel of a son...
"Given everything, why would I need to lie to you? It's all your fault, you bastard! You ruined the Lei family for a woman, it's all your doing..."
When Lei's father said this, the look of disappointment and frustration on his face stirred pity in the hearts of the onlookers. This son was truly a disgrace to his father...
After beating his son, Lei's father realized that it was all because of a phone call from Wang Wei. Now, perhaps the only person who could help him was this poor bastard they looked down on...
"Young man, we were wrong today. I'm willing to offer a million, just please spare the Lei family..."
Lei's father stared intently at Wang Wei, hoping he would show leniency...
Upon hearing that the other party was willing to offer one million to settle the matter, Wang Fang gripped Wang Wei's hand tighter. She had never seen so much money before. In her world, ten thousand yuan was a huge sum, let alone one million, which seemed like an astronomical figure. With that money, she felt that her brother's schooling would no longer be a problem...
But Wang Wei seemed oblivious to his sister's emotional shift. Faced with the temptation of a million, he simply asked indifferently...
Do you think I'm short of a million?
Lei's father was stunned for a moment. Someone who could make Su Shi withdraw hundreds of millions of investments seemed to have nothing to lose, perhaps even a million...
"Wang Wei, don't be ungrateful. One million is a sum you'll never see in your entire life. I advise you to take this money and then quickly make another call to return the investment that belongs to the Lei family..."
Before Lei's father could speak, Lei Chao, that troublesome son of a bitch, arrogantly gave the order with his overbearing attitude…
In his mind, in Dafang County, everyone had to give the Lei family some face. If the Lei family asked for a favor, it was an absolute favor to the other party. No one could refuse, nor did they have the right to refuse...
His prejudice against Wang Wei was so deep that even though he knew Wang Wei was the one who caused his family's bankruptcy, he still had a strange confidence that letting this poor scoundrel Wang Wei go was a reward for him to curry favor with the Lei family...
Lei's father clutched his chest, a genuine urge to kill his unfilial son. How dare he speak in such a commanding tone? Wasn't he courting death? He was ruining the entire Lei family…
"Mr. Lei, it seems your son has a different perspective than you..."
Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, Lei's father, a man well-versed in human relationships, trembled slightly...
He then slapped Lei Chao again, leaving Lei Chao completely stunned. He didn't understand why he was being beaten for speaking up for his father. And the force of the slap almost knocked out his teeth…
"You unfilial son, kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Wang to confess your sins..."
Hearing his father's roar, Lei Chao hadn't even reacted yet. He looked at his old classmate Wang Wei, whom he had always looked down upon…
Several big question marks popped into my mind...
Why did my father call this poor guy "Mr. Wang"?
Why should I kneel down to this poor bastard?
I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to this poor bastard?
"Dad, are you mistaken? This poor guy is my classmate. I know him better than anyone. He relied entirely on poverty subsidies when he was in school, and his family was a well-known impoverished household in the area. Our Lei family is the richest family in Dafang County. Why should we apologize to this poor guy?"
Lei Chao looked indignant. Having always been domineering and arrogant, he didn't understand many deeper things. From a young age, he only recognized one rule: whatever he did, even if it was wrong, was right...
"Shut up, I'll make you kneel when I say so..."
Lei's father roared angrily...
Lei Chao felt extremely wronged. Even if he were willing, he simply couldn't do it right now...
His kneecaps were shattered; even the slightest movement is excruciating, let alone kneeling…
"dad…"
Lei Chao called out to his father, wanting him to understand his current predicament…
But Lei's father was already furious, and he didn't know what had happened to Lei Chao...
He grabbed Lei Chao by the collar, lifted him up, dragged him to Wang Wei, and then forcefully threw him at Wang Wei's feet...
"Hurry up and admit your mistake..."
Lei Chao, who had been wailing in pain, stared at his father in disbelief. The father who used to indulge him was gone; now he looked like he wanted to kill him.
If he understood his father's pain at that moment, he would probably have bowed his head and admitted his mistake, just like his father. Even if it meant abandoning all dignity and pride, he would have to beg for Wang Wei's forgiveness. But he didn't have that awareness. He only felt that even in his current state, his father was still forcing him to apologize to someone he looked down on, which clearly meant that his father didn't love him anymore...
Suppressing his humiliation, Lei Chao slowly raised his head and looked at Wang Wei…
As he lay on the ground, looking up at Wang Wei, he saw the mockery in Wang Wei's eyes...
This made Lei Chao feel that his self-esteem had been greatly humiliated...
“Wang…Wang Wei…I…”
Suppressing his inner humiliation, Lei Chao dared not disobey his father's wishes and could only bow his head to Wang Wei. However, the words of apology seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he simply couldn't utter them...
"Hey...for the sake of our old classmate relationship..."
Wang Wei paused here, but this immediately excited Lei Chao, who quickly asked...
"Wang Wei, are you not going to pursue this matter?"
"For the sake of our old classmate relationship, I'll have Director Wan take good care of you once you're inside. I absolutely won't let you be bullied. After all, in front of those lustful, burly men, someone like you will definitely become someone's true love..."
Wang Wei's words were loaded with meaning. After all, once Lei Chao lost his male function, he would definitely become more and more effeminate. In a prison full of men, he would be a rare breed.
Lei Chao didn't understand what Wang Wei was saying, but he had a bad feeling...
