Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 257 Depending on One’s Ability

Tang Boyan said expressionlessly, “If Lu Ze is as capable as Lu Ming, I will save him even if I have to throw the entire Tang family in. What is the Tang family when he can bring me more benefits? Perhaps not long after, he will be able to give me a bigger business empire! But unfortunately, Lu Ze is not talented in this aspect.

I can’t do that. Besides, with his personality, he might cause even more trouble when he comes out. What do you want me to help him settle then? Going to prison is a good choice for him. It’s better than dying in the wilderness in the future! Do you understand, No. 3?”

He glanced at Tang Wenyi and heaved a long sigh in his heart. He did not listen to her at all! His third daughter was considered useless. As the family head, he could not have any weaknesses. He had to prioritize the family! Feelings and everything had to be put aside. The more he compared them, the more he felt that his fifth daughter was not bad!

Tang Wenyi clenched her fists silently and forced a smile. “My only hope is with Ah Ze now. I don’t understand or want to understand what you’re saying. I only know that I want to save Ah Ze. I think you know how ruthless No. 5 is. I can’t watch Ah Ze get killed!”

She did not hide her love for her precious son at all. After all, she had lost Lu Yaohua, who loved her deeply. All she had left was Lu Ze! As for the Tang family… Old Master valued profits, and there was no kinship between the sisters. She could not be blamed for taking such an extreme path.

Her wish was very simple. She wanted to trample on those who mocked her! She wanted to send Lu Ming to his death! Then she would live a life of riches with Lu Ze! She could have whatever she wanted, and the position of the head of the Tang family wouldn’t be bad!

“If you want me to behave for a while, fine, but you have to tell Fifth Sister not to do anything to Ah Ze! Otherwise, I’ll save Ah Ze even if I have to risk my life!”

Old Master was not affected by her emotions. Instead, he looked quietly at the scenery outside the French window. After some time, he said, “I don’t have to explain the principle of the winner being the king and the loser being the thief, right? This is what I taught you since you were young. Even if Lu Ze dies in prison, No. 5 may not get implicated, and that’s her ability!”

His words implied that he was protecting Tang Yajing. Tang Wenyi’s heart turned even colder. If she knew this would happen, why did she even bother to plead with the old master? Did she have to get an answer personally from him before she would give up?

“… I understand.”

“Just saying it is useless. You have to show it with concrete action. I understand that you’re very dissatisfied with No. 5, but you’re so much older than her. I don’t expect you to be able to help her. As long as you don’t cause trouble for her, that’s fine. Don’t do things like strangling her neck in the future. If I see you again, you’ll be punished according to the family rules.”

The old master paused for a moment and continued, “What are your plans for the future? If possible, I don’t mind lending the Tang family’s power to you. I hope you won’t let my expectations of you go to waste. Think carefully.”

He was quite familiar with giving out candies.

Tang Wenyi knew that this was one of her few chances, so she asked, “Does the Iron Lady have any plans recently?”

She threw the question back to Old Master.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest, “Why? Don’t tell me you want to start with her? I can tell you about her. Han Qianjing came from the physical manufacturing industry, which is home appliances. Nowadays, with technology advancing so quickly, she also wants to take a share of the smart devices market, such as smart homes and smartphones. But she didn’t succeed.”

He was happy to see the Iron Lady’s repeated failures. Perhaps he could even bite off a piece of meat from the Qianyu Corporation! Then he could enter a new industry. It would be even better if the Tang family could advance because of this! He would be able to face those ancestors after he died. At the thought of this, his heart warmed.

“What do you want to do, No. 3?”

Tang Wenyi curled her lips and said, “I want to deal with the Iron Lady!”

“Ha! Dealing with her is not as simple as you make it out to be. If you could easily make the other party suffer, then the Iron Lady would have been taken down by those people long ago! As a woman, she has survived in the business world for decades. This is not something that any simple person can do!”

Although the two of them were enemies, Old Master’s words were full of praise for the Iron Lady. If one of his children could compare to her, how could he not relinquish his authority? Although he thought very highly of No. 5, she was still too inexperienced compared to the Iron Lady. Perhaps she would have to wait a few more years to be on par with her.

In the end, he was completely biased towards No. 5 now and did not mind placing all his bets on her!

The reason why the Iron Lady did not succeed was very simple. She did not have enough money to develop the microchip, so she was just one step shy of achieving her goal. If she suddenly develops it one day, she will definitely go against us! With her personality, she will definitely not show mercy.”
