Before having dinner with Liu Tiancheng, Lu Wanqing went to see Liu Fang first.
Liu Fang was very agitated when she saw her; she was practically ready to throw rotten eggs at her.
Lu Wanqing was dressed in a well-fitting business suit, her expression calm:
"You probably think I ruined Ti Lung's reputation, but have you ever considered that he was the one who wronged you first?"
He's cheating on you with other women, can you really tolerate that? With your looks and qualities, what kind of woman can't you find? Don't be so foolish!
Women can be so foolish sometimes. Even when they know the other person doesn't love them and is cheating on them, they still hope that the other person is just having fun.
What do you mean? Are you gloating?
"Does my life need your interference?" Liu Fang was so angry that her face turned pale.
She used to be a wealthy and beautiful woman in Beijing's social circle, with a pretty face and a slender figure, but now she has ended up looking haggard.
She didn't understand why Lu Wanqing insisted on appearing in front of her and saying those things.
Lu Wanqing wasn't that free; she wanted to use her to clear away obstacles for herself.
"Sister, you've really misunderstood me. I'm here to make a deal with you."
Lu Wanqing revealed her purpose.
She recounted the trouble she had encountered in detail, and also mentioned Qi Wei.
"You must hate Xu Ruping, right? But do you know what her relationship was with Qi Wei when she was called Lu Jiajia?"
Liu Fang's eyebrows twitched. "What relationship?"
“They used to be husband and wife. Do you think he will hold a grudge if I send Lu Jiajia to prison? He has been trying to make things difficult for me by having your father do so, just to annoy me.”
Lu Wanqing explained everything in detail.
Liu Fang listened without any expression, as if it were none of her business.
"Why are you telling me all this? I don't care at all."
Lu Wanqing smiled gently and shook a finger, saying, "No, it's possible. As long as you say a few good words for me to your father, I can help him get the position of vice mayor."
Liu Fang's indifferent expression finally showed a reaction:
"real?"
She knows her father too well. He is usually cautious in his words and actions, and dares not make any mistakes, all so that one day he can reach a higher level.
But could Lu Wanqing, a woman, really do that?
"You don't need to doubt it. As long as my five-star hotel project is approved smoothly, your father will have a smooth career advancement within six months. If it doesn't, you can have your father stop my project at will, and then I will suffer huge losses," Lu Wanqing said seriously.
She knew that in six months, the original deputy mayor would be removed from office due to corruption, and he could easily take over the position with just a little lobbying.
Liu Fang was skeptical, but reluctantly agreed to give it a try.
After all, the father's future was related to the fate of the family.
If her father gets promoted, she can also find another high-quality partner.
Lu Wanqing wasn't particularly surprised that she agreed.
Having lived in that kind of family for a long time, she had long been accustomed to the exchange of benefits. However, she was a little late in maturing emotionally. Once such a person becomes realistic, she is more realistic than anyone else.
Just as Lu Wanqing went back to wait for news, Qi Wei became desperate and wanted to hire someone to teach Lu Xiuwen, who had bullied him, a lesson.
He found a group of thugs through a friend, who said that for two thousand yuan, they would help him smash, loot, burn, and commit all sorts of evil deeds.
He figured two thousand yuan would solve the problem, and maybe he could even get the eighteen thousand yuan back, so he readily paid the money.
That afternoon, he took a group of people he had hired and went to the restaurant to find Lu Xiuwen and his group.
At first, Qi Wei didn't want to make a big fuss; he just wanted to get his money back. However, Lu Xiuwen's arrogant attitude caused the people he hired to simply quit.
"Boss, can you tolerate their behavior? I've been fighting since I was a kid, and I've never backed down. I've handled two murders. I can't swallow this!"
As he spoke, he picked up a stool from the restaurant and smashed it at the other person.
Lu Xiuwen certainly wouldn't stand for it. With a single command, he stopped all his work and started working against Chu Si and the others.
In an instant, chaos erupted in the restaurant as the two sides clashed.
"Stop! All of you, stop!"
Qi Wei felt a pang of heartache when he saw the smashed chair and the shattered glass of the newly installed counter.
But no matter how much he shouted, it was as if both sides had agreed beforehand, and neither showed any intention of stopping.
No one was hurt, but the store was smashed to pieces again.
Qi Wei sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it, and eventually he fainted from anger.
When he woke up, it was the next day, and he was lying in a hospital bed. His mother, with her full head of white hair, was sitting by his bedside wiping away tears.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Qi Wei asked impatiently.
Since her father passed away, she has been constantly wiping away tears and has not slept all day long. She has been holding her father's portrait and murmuring to herself. Although she is only in her sixties, her hair is already completely white.
"My life is so hard. Your father risked his life to get you a godfather. He was just hoping to enjoy a few days of happiness, but now you've turned out like this!"
"You shouldn't keep that restaurant open. It's only the beginning, and you've already spent tens of thousands of yuan. Now it's been vandalized. We should call the police quickly. Make them pay back the money, and then we can live a peaceful life from now on."
Qi's mother started nagging again.
Qi Wei told her that there was no way to call the police, because one of the people on one side was someone he had hired himself, and calling the police would be like sending himself to jail.
He really shot himself in the foot; he spent 65,000 yuan and ended up back where he started.
The only thing we can hold onto now is Yu Lili, this straw to grasp at.
As long as he becomes Yu Pingwei's son-in-law, he will still have no worries about food and drink, plenty of people will give him money, and he will have more convenience in doing business.
Thinking this, even though he was still sick, he dragged his weak body to see his future father-in-law with gifts.
When he entered the house, he found his family members chatting and laughing as they helped Hao Hao try on clothes.
It turned out that Yu Lili had bought Hao Hao a lot of clothes, all of them fashionable styles. Hao Hao was very happy to wear them and show them off.
Upon seeing him enter, Yu Lili's face immediately fell.
What are you doing here again?
Mr. Yu sensed the displeasure in her words and scolded her:
"Qi Wei is my friend, why can't he come? Go and pour him some tea."
Yu Pingwei quickly pulled him down to sit, his face still beaming with smiles, but he repeatedly declined the gifts Yu Pingwei offered.
"You child, why are you giving me this? Take it all back!"
Yu's mother chimed in, "Yes, we don't lack these things, take them all."
Qi Wei's heart sank. He knew that although the couple greeted him with smiles on their faces, they were already rejecting him. He had a premonition that there was little hope left for him and Yu Lili.
