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

Panda Novel

“The complete opposite?”

Before Tang Wenyi could react, Lu Yaohua blurted out, “What do you mean?”

“You must not have been paying attention to news in the industry recently, right? Otherwise, how could you not know about him?”

Zhuo Wenbin paused for a moment before he continued, “They are both young men, not much older than each other. Their surname is Lu as well. Recently, there is a Lu Ming who is taking the business world by storm. Do you know that?

At first, I almost thought that he’s related to you! But according to him, his parents died a few years ago, and he is the only one left. He came from an ordinary family, and he had achieved so much at such a young age. He’s really extraordinary for someone so young!”

“Lu Ming?”

Lu Yaohua’s eyes widened. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

“My elder son has become a celebrity in the industry recently?!” he thought.

“What’s going on?

Could it be just a coincidence?

However, is there really a second person named Lu Ming in Shanghai?”

Before he could respond, Zhuo Wenbin continued, “I think he’s a rising star in the industry. I’m sure he’ll surpass us soon. You haven’t forgotten about the Ruixin Group, right? Last time, you wanted to collaborate with them, but you were rejected.”

Lu Yaohua nodded blankly.

“The Ruixin Group is a big bone that is difficult to chew. Back then, we did not expect that Lu Ming would be well-liked by the Ruixin Group. In the end, after a meal, the two parties established a business partnership. There’s also Elegance and Commerce. We wanted to collaborate with them back then.”

The two of them had wanted to join forces with Elegance and Commerce. In order to show their sincerity, they went to the company when the sun had just set. In the end, the other party’s boss did not even appear. They only spoke to his secretary for a while before being rejected.

“Many of them saw the boss of Elegance and Commerce having a good chat with Lu Ming. They directly struck up a few collaborations. Then there’s Weijin Group, Yuanye Corporation, Hanxing Technology…”

The companies that Zhuo Wenbin mentioned were all top-ranking companies. Although Lu Yaohua had been in the business world for many years, he had yet to collaborate with these companies. At the same time, these companies were companies that he thought were difficult to deal with.

Lu Ming had negotiated deals with companies that he had partnered and those that he had not.

Could it be that only his elder son had inherited his outstanding genes?

Zhuo Wenbin sighed. “I estimate that Lu Ming has earned hundreds of millions of yuan recently. He is a true genius! If I’d known about him earlier, I would definitely have pulled him into my company…”

Tang Wenyi interrupted him in disbelief. “How is that possible!? That bastard Lu Ming can’t be so powerful!”

In her impression, Lu Ming was still a weak child who knelt on the ground back then.

Even though he had slapped her repeatedly in the face previously, she only thought that he was plain lucky. She was determined not to admit that this bastard was better than her precious son!

“It must be a coincidence! A coincidence!”

Seeing this, Zhuo Wenbin asked curiously, “Do you know him?”

Neither of the couple was willing to talk about Lu Ming.

He could tell that there was something fishy going on.

Suppressing his excitement, he asked, “Brother Lu, is he really related to you? His Wanke Real Estate has been very popular recently. Who wouldn’t want to work with him? Perhaps if you ask him to help you, your company will have a chance!”

“Wanke Real Estate?”

This made the couple, who initially thought that it was a coincidence, instantly confirm that the Lu Ming that Zhuo Wenbin was talking about was really the one they knew.

Lu Yaohua forced a smile and said, “He’s my child with my ex-wife.”

Zhuo Wenbin smiled and said, “No wonder I didn’t hear you mention him. You really have a good son! Although your younger son is useless, your elder son is very promising. I’m curious too. They clearly have the same father, but why are they worlds apart?”

Other than the fact that they had the same surname, there was no similarity between the two.

Zhuo Wenbin increasingly felt that lending 10 million yuan to Lu Yaohua was the right choice. After all, Lu Ming was rising rapidly and, ordinarily, they could not curry favor with him even if they wanted to. If Lu Yaohua could pull some strings, perhaps they could negotiate a few collaborations. At that time, his net worth could increase several times!

He said respectfully, “With such a promising elder son, your company will return to its former glory soon, right? You don’t have to worry about the successor of your company. Who knows, he might even be able to advance your company. Don’t forget me when that time comes.”

But only if the father and son had a good relationship.

Lu Ming had already cut ties with Lu Yaohua and he was a pawn that he had abandoned. How could Lu Yaohua lose face and beg the other party to come back and inherit the company?

But now that his elder son was so capable, even he could not help feeling envious.

Seeing the two of them looking a little unhappy, Zhuo Wenbin thought of Tang Wenyi’s words. “Could it be that… you two don’t have a good relationship?”

Lu Yaohua nodded.

“After I divorced my ex-wife back then, I did not contact Lu Ming again. It was only a few months ago when my younger son was diagnosed with uremia and needed a suitable kidney that I… I asked him to donate his kidney on account that we are family. He refused without hesitation. Because of this matter, we had a very unhappy relationship.

Zhuo Wenbin was shocked. “Big Brother Lu, how could you do such a foolish thing!?”

Now his plan had gone down the drain.

If he had known that Lu Ming would be so successful, Lu Yaohua would not have treated him so badly. He would have brought him home to eat and drink with him. He would not have ended up in such a sorry state.

Lu Yaohua bitterly regretted it. How could he have treated Lu Ming like trash! To think that he had rich social experience and could read people accurately! Lu Ming was written off because he thought that he would never amount to anything!

He was really old and blind!

Trying to calm himself down with tea, Zhuo Wenbin said, “Why don’t you humble yourself and apologize to him? And promise to give him the company. He might change his mind. No matter what, you’re his father.”

Lu Yaohua did not say anything.

He knew very well that once his elder son made a decision, he would never turn back. In addition, because of their attitude, it would be a mercy if the other party did not exterminate them.

When Tang Wenyi heard this, her face turned livid!

“We did not do anything wrong. Why should we invite that bastard back?!” she fumed.

Her son was just immature. When he was able to understand things, Lu Ming would be nothing. She had completely forgotten that Lu Ming and Lu Ze were only two or three years apart. Moreover, Lu Ze was already an adult.

Before she could retort, Lu Yaohua stood up and said, “Let’s go to the hospital!”
