Chapter 25: Mother Lu’s Shamelessness
The next day, Tang Ning took the initiative to bring a lawyer to the door.
Inside the Lu family, Lu’s mother was upset because of the recent stock market crash of Lu’s company. When she heard the doorbell ring, she thought it was the debt collector. She opened the door impatiently and said in a tough tone: “Knocking on the door so early in the morning! Didn’t I say I would pay you back?”
As soon as Mother Lu finished her words, she looked up and saw Tang Ning in front of her.
Tang Ning was wearing a little white dress at the moment. Her long straight hair fell to her waist. Her large almond-shaped eyes added a touch of charm to her. Although she was young and had not yet fully grown up, she already exuded the aura of a mature beauty.
“Who are you……”
Mother Lu was stunned for a moment, and she didn’t even recognize that the person in front of her was Tang Ning.
Tang Ning smiled and said, “Aunt Lu, I’m Tang Ning.”
Seeing that the person in front of her was Tang Ning, Mother Lu seemed unable to close her mouth.
It’s only been a few months, how come the fat boy Tang Ning has changed so much?
“Ningning? Is it really Ningning?”
Mrs. Lu looked incredulous. Tang Ning said, “I was delayed last time by something, so I came specially to visit you this time. Aunt Lu, you won’t be mad at me, will you?”
“Why would Auntie be angry with you? Come on, come in.”
Mother Lu couldn’t stop smiling.
Tang Ning came to her house in person, and she was so happy that she couldn’t contain herself.
How could he be angry with her?
“Ningning, you are getting more and more beautiful. Auntie almost didn’t recognize you.”
As she spoke, Mother Lu warmly welcomed Tang Ning in.
“Ningning, are you here to look for Chizhou this time? I’ll call him and ask him to come back. I don’t know where this kid has been fooling around. I’ll have to talk to him later!”
Mrs. Lu happily made tea for Tang Ning, but Tang Ning smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t bother me. I’m not here to see Lu Chizhou, but to see you, Auntie.”
“Looking for me?”
Mrs. Lu looked puzzled. Tang Ning glanced at the lawyer beside her and said, “This is our Tang Corporation’s lawyer. He is here to discuss the purchase of your shares.”
“Buying shares?”
Mother Lu’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that Tang Ning was going to steal their money.
Tang Ning said, “My father heard that Lu’s company has been in a tight spot recently. Considering that Lu’s company previously had shares in the Tang family, he specially called a lawyer to buy out Lu’s shares in the Tang family at a high price, and also helped Lu’s company get through this difficult time.”
Tang Ning’s words sounded nice, but the underlying meaning was that they wanted to make a break.
Mother Lu was hesitant. The Lu family indeed owed a lot of money now. If they couldn’t pay it back in time, they were afraid that the house would be auctioned off.
But if they handed over Tang’s shares, they would have no income at all in the future!
“Ningning, since you mentioned this matter, Auntie would like to ask you for help.”
Mother Lu lowered her attitude and said, “After Chizhou’s father passed away, we were all very grateful for the care of your Tang family. But now our Lu family is in the most difficult time. I wonder if Brother Tang is willing to lend us some money? I promise that if Lu’s gets better, I will pay it back as soon as possible. What’s more, your family also has shares in Lu’s. If Lu’s is rich, we can give more dividends to the Tang family in the future!”
Seeing Mother Lu’s sincere expression, Tang Ning couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.
She had known for a long time that Mother Lu would shamelessly borrow money from their family.
Lu Chizhou’s father passed away a while ago, leaving behind a mess. His father, mindful of their past friendship, had invested tens of millions of assets in the Lu family, but in the end, all was lost.
The previous money has not been repaid yet, and you still want to borrow again?
Tang Ning smiled and said, “Auntie, how much money does the Lu family need to tide over this difficult time?”
Seeing Tang Ning asking, Mother Lu immediately replied, “We still need another billion! With just one billion, our Lu family will be able to get through this difficult time!”
When Tang Ning heard the 1 billion, she pretended to be embarrassed: “Another 1 billion…”
Mother Lu was afraid that Tang Ning would not agree, so she quickly held Tang Ning’s hand and said, “Ningning, you are a good child, and Brother Tang is also a good man. We are an orphan and a widow and there is really no other way. If it weren’t for the 1 billion, I’m afraid we would have to sleep on the streets in the future!”
Mother Lu knew that Tang Ning was as soft-hearted as her father. She tearfully spoke of her recent suffering, “I know Chizhou was ungrateful before. I’ve taught him a lesson. Don’t worry, I only recognize you, Ningning, as my daughter-in-law! When you marry Chizhou in the future, you will be my daughter, and we will still be one family!”
After hearing these disgusting remarks from Mother Lu, Tang Ning couldn’t help but pull her hand back. She smiled and said, “Auntie, we were all family before, what are you talking about? But 1 billion is indeed a large sum. Even if our Tang family has some money, we can’t borrow 1 billion all at once.”
“Then, what should we do?”
Mother Lu was a little panicked. If they didn’t have 1 billion yuan, the debt collectors would come to auction their house in a few days!
Tang Ning comforted Mother Lu and said, “Auntie, don’t worry. Even though we can’t come up with the 1 billion, you can still give it to us.”
“Me? Where did I get one billion?”
“Auntie, you hold 5% of the shares of our Tang family. Although it’s not much, the market value is at least 700 to 800 million.”
Tang Ning continued, “The Lu family is short of money right now. This 5% stake can pay dividends every month, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Considering the friendship between our two families, I will make a decision on my own and use 1 billion to buy out the 5% of Tang’s shares held by the Lu family. When the time comes, I will ask Dad to find a way to sell this 5% stake. Although our family will lose several hundred million, it will still help the Lu family.”
“this……”
After hearing what Tang Ning said, Mother Lu was suddenly moved.
This is an extra two or three hundred million for no reason! I’m afraid I’ll never see such a good thing again.
Mother Lu hesitated: “This…Can Brother Tang agree to it?”
“My father is the softest-hearted one. Auntie, please let me talk to him. It will definitely work.”
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still hesitant and unwilling to let go of the fat piece of meat of Tang’s shares, Tang Ning said, “Auntie, I’m doing this for your own good. I heard that there are many ways to collect debts. If you can’t pay the money back, your hands and feet will be chopped off.”
Hearing about the chopping of hands and feet, Mother Lu’s face turned pale: “Yes, yes… Isn’t that how it’s played in TV dramas? Then, then I’ll give up my shares right away, but when will the money arrive in my account?”
“Don’t worry, Auntie. I have one more thing to ask. You must promise me.”
