"Lu Yang, you are such a damn good-for-nothing. Don't you even see the situation? Young Master Xiao is using immense capital to corner the Haitong Group. Even though Haitong Group is a multi-trillion dollar conglomerate, they have very little liquid cash. Moreover, all the wealthy individuals in Jiangbei City have already sided with Young Master Xiao. What can Haitong Group possibly do to fight against Young Master Xiao?"
"This kid is cooperating with Haitong Group, that's why he's saying this. Once Haitong Group is finished, this kid will be finished too. Still the same useless live-in son-in-law!"
"Kick this good-for-nothing out. Our Tang family is about to become a first-class family. We can't be ruined by this waste!"
"..."
The Tang family members immediately began to curse Lu Yang loudly.
"Lu Yang, if you can't get the grapes, you say they're sour. I can understand that kind of mentality. However, if you kneel down and apologize to me now, I can let you continue to stay in the Tang family as your useless live-in son-in-law!"
Tang Zixuan sneered at Lu Yang. He had been outmaneuvered by Lu Yang several times recently and had long harbored resentment, always looking for an opportunity to teach Lu Yang a lesson.
"Kneel to you?"
"Are you even worthy?"
"Since you don't want to listen to me, then so be it. Just wait for the Tang family to go bankrupt!"
"Shiming, let's go. No need to bother with these people. The Tang family is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you give them, they'll just spend it all and then insult and curse you!"
Lu Yang said, pulling Tang Shiming's hand.
"Lu Yang, I'm not leaving!"
"I am a member of the Tang family after all. I can't leave!"
Tang Shiming shook off Lu Yang's hand and said helplessly.
"Shiming, they've treated you like that, and you still won't leave? Why?"
Lu Yang couldn't understand. He immediately asked, looking at Tang Shiming's resolute eyes.
"My parents, my relatives are all in the Tang family. I don't want to leave the Tang family. If I leave the Tang family, I won't have any family!"
"Besides, all my money is invested in the Tang family. If I leave, I'll have nothing!"
Tang Shiming continued.
"These people will only suck your blood and eat your flesh. These people can only be scum. You still expect them to share their profits with you?"
Lu Yang shook his head and said.
He had long seen through what kind of people the Tang family were. They were like a pack of ungrateful wolves. Even if you gave them your heart to eat, they would still covet your internal organs.
"Lu Yang, what the hell are you talking about? Tang Shiming is one of us Tang family. When have we ever harmed Shiming? You, the good-for-nothing, are the one who has been harming Tang Shiming all along!"
"That's right. Shiming is so beautiful, she's one of the best in the entire Jiangbei City. If she hadn't married you back then, would she be in such a miserable state? You've dragged Shiming down!"
"Good-for-nothing, get out! Don't spread rumors and disrupt our Tang family's unity!"
"..."
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the Tang family members once again roared in anger.
Lu Yang ignored them and continued to look at Tang Shiming, saying, "Come with me, I'll support you. You can live like a princess, carefree, for the rest of your life!"
"You?"
"How will you support me?"
"Do you really think you're the vice president of Black Dragon Capital? You're just a kept man. When Black Dragon Capital is swallowed by us, you won't even have the chance to beg!"
Tang Zixuan jumped out and sneered at Lu Yang again.
"Shiming, come with me!"
Lu Yang ignored Tang Zixuan and looked at Tang Shiming, speaking very gently.
"I... I can't go!"
Tang Shiming, with tears in her eyes, silently refused Lu Yang.
"Alas, if you don't want to go, then so be it!"
Lu Yang was extremely helpless. He sighed and left the Tang family villa alone.
In a bad mood, Lu Yang went directly to Li Xiaohong's bar.
At that moment, in Li Xiaohong's bar, a man with a ferocious appearance was causing trouble.
"Young Master Wang, here are your drinks!"
A woman with a pure appearance walked over with two bottles of whiskey.
This woman was Li Xiaohong's sister, named Li Xiaolv. She was quite good-looking and had been helping out at the bar recently.
"Xiaolv, sit down and have a drink with your Brother Wang!"
The man said, pulling Li Xiaolv into his arms and casually pawing at her.
"Young Master Wang, please don't do this!"
Li Xiaolv kept refusing. Accidentally, her bracelet scratched the man's face.
"Slap!"
The man directly slapped Li Xiaolv across the face.
"Damn it, I'm doing you a favor by letting you have a drink with me, and you're trying to assassinate me? I've never been injured since I was young. Now you've scratched my face, and I rely on this face to make a living. Damn it, tell me, what do you think should be done?"
The man grabbed Li Xiaolv by the hair and slammed her head towards a nearby pillar.
With a "bang," Li Xiaolv's head buzzed. The world went dark, and she almost fainted.
"Oh dear, Young Master Wang, what are you doing?"
Li Xiaohong heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing her sister being so cruelly treated by the man in front of her, her face turned extremely ugly. But she knew that the man in front of her was Wang Ruyi, the son of the chairman of the Hongmen's Jiang Province branch. His influence was too immense, and she couldn't afford to offend him. She could only swallow all her grievances.
"Are you incompetent at doing business? My face was scratched by your sister. How do we settle this matter?"
Wang Ruyi coldly roared at Li Xiaohong.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Wang. My sister is young and ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf. All your expenses here today are on the house!"
Li Xiaohong saw a thin scratch on Wang Ruyi's face and quickly said.
"Ignorant? She's this old and still ignorant?"
"However, your sister is quite good-looking. Now, take off all your clothes!"
A lewd look flashed in Wang Ruyi's eyes, and he said with a cold laugh.
"What?"
Upon hearing Wang Ruyi's words, Li Xiaohong's face changed dramatically. She didn't expect Wang Ruyi to be so shameless. He actually wanted her sister to undress in front of so many people. If she really did that, how would her sister be able to live her life afterward?
"Young Master Wang, isn't this inappropriate!"
"How about this? I'll compensate you with one million, and you can let my sister go, okay?"
Li Xiaohong continued to say to Wang Ruyi.
"One million? Are you trying to fob off a beggar?"
"You have two choices. One is for your sister to strip naked and let my brothers have their fun. The other is for this bar to belong to me. You choose!"
Wang Ruyi coldly roared at Li Xiaohong.
"This..."
Hearing Wang Ruyi's words, Li Xiaohong was instantly caught in a dilemma. This bar was Li Xiaohong's life's work. To give it away to Wang Ruyi for nothing meant all her savings would be gone. But letting her sister be violated by Wang Ruyi's men was also something Li Xiaohong did not want to see.
"Sister!"
Li Xiaolv regained her senses and tearfully called out to Li Xiaohong.
"Xiaolv!"
Li Xiaohong looked at her sister, and her heart felt extremely pained.
"Haven't you made up your mind yet?"
Wang Ruyi kicked Li Xiaohong in the chest, sending her tumbling to the ground.
