Chapter 8 One should not be arrogant because of favor.
Rui Rui really didn't want to go back to her old home with her mother; it was nowhere near as comfortable as her father's newly rented penthouse.
She's not stupid.
Guo Haili, the mother, now only wants to exploit her to continue squeezing hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation from the father.
How can there be such a mother?
My father has already taken on over a million yuan in debt, and he gave the house to my mother to live in. He only has some savings left.
If they have to pay out hundreds of thousands more, how will the father and daughter live in the future?
Shall we beg for food together?
On the way home, Rui Rui thought for a while before asking Lu Mingdao, "Dad, Mom definitely won't lose money, right?"
She knows her mother, Guo Haili, too well. Her father even pays for a hair clip for her, but he's very generous when it comes to spending money on himself.
While driving, Lu Ming taught his daughter, "Rui Rui, the essence of being a good person is to know when to stop and not to be arrogant because of favors, otherwise you will be hated by others."
In our country, women have privileges, more protection and indulgence, but your mother has been abusing these privileges.
She's always so unrestrained, as if everyone has to give in to her. If she's not taught a lesson, she'll only get more and more outrageous.
They definitely wouldn't get the money; they just wanted to cause Guo Haili some trouble so she would have something to think about in the future.
"oh!"
Rui Rui nodded silently, hoping that her biological mother, Guo Haili, would stop causing trouble at the school in the future; it was really embarrassing.
Would someone drive their own daughter to suicide for money?
After a while.
She suddenly remembered something and said, "Dad, when I celebrated my birthday last year, Yu Hang gave me a gold medal inlaid with jade, wishing me good luck and success. But it's as big as an Olympic gold medal and it's so heavy that it hurts a little when I wear it around my neck."
Where does a child get so much money?
Lu Ming had a vague suspicion that his senior, Cheng Yong'an, was behind the money, or even deliberately teasing his son and misleading him into giving a ridiculous gift.
Hey!
My senior was like that when he was in school; he often gave others bad advice.
Rui Rui continued, "Dad, Yu Hang's birthday present to me was so expensive. If I want to accept it gracefully, reciprocate, and not take it for granted, what should I do?"
Lu Ming had a bad feeling, but he could only nod slightly and ask, "What are you planning to do about this?"
"I want to give a gift that's reasonably priced, but unfortunately, I don't have enough allowance. Dad's reasoning is so good, shouldn't he support me in taking action and not be spoiled?"
Rui Rui lowered her head shyly and even touched her fingertips together.
Lu Ming was speechless!
He was telling the truth: this daughter truly lived up to her reputation as Guo Haili's daughter; she already knew how to spend his money and do her own thing.
We can't return the gold medal that Cheng Yuhang gave us now.
Many things are uncertain. Perhaps many years later, this silly gold medal will have a very special meaning!
in fact.
Lu Ming was satisfied with Cheng Yuhang.
He will at least graduate from a 985 university, be at least 1.8 meters tall, handsome, from a wealthy family, with his parents being upper-middle-level executives in the financial industry.
When Rui Rui gets into university and starts thinking about dating and marriage, boys like her will be extremely rare.
I can't find it anywhere!
Besides, the two kids are childhood friends, they've been playing together since they were little!
The only problem is that Cheng Yuhang's parents are too complicated.
Cheng Yong'an, a senior alumnus, had been in the position of director of the bank's credit department for a long time and was no longer a good person. His sister-in-law, Mei Yanping, had even more serious problems.
Unlike her seniors, Mui Yim-ping didn't have as many lovers, nor could she just randomly pick up a man at a bar, but all of her lovers had impressive backgrounds.
The next day.
Lu Ming made more than a dozen phone calls to his high school classmates and friends in his hometown of Qingzhou in the morning, and finally found out the general situation of Guo Haili's new boyfriend.
A man surnamed Huang from Huaizhou, in his forties, is said to have tens of millions of assets. He claims to have been divorced for many years and is currently contracting a section of highway construction project in Qingzhou.
He immediately sent these messages to Cheng Yong'an, asking his senior to check the other party's background through the bank's system.
I waited for about ten minutes.
Cheng Yong'an replied with a screenshot of a financial system certificate, then called back, saying, "Yu Hang called me last night. I already know about Rui Rui. Don't worry, our Cheng family's daughter-in-law isn't someone anyone can bully!"
"Get the hell away from me!" Lu Ming was so angry he wanted to curse.
Damn it, he wants to have a son too, so he can go and ruin other people's girls!
what!
Cheng Yong'an smiled smugly for a while, then said very seriously, "I just checked that Boss Huang's project. That road was funded and built by the Provincial Investment Group. His quote was too low; he couldn't make any money without cutting corners!"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "My main focus right now is to warn Guo Haili and stop her from harassing my daughter. This Boss Huang has nothing to do with me!"
It's definitely not because he's angry that his ex-wife is dating a big boss that he's determined to cause her trouble through legal means.
Cheng Yong'an reminded him, "You're wrong. Guo Haili doesn't have any major problems; she's hard to kill with one slap. Boss Huang is different; he's full of loopholes."
The financial system has many ways to deal with these construction contractors.
"Senior, could you help me find out about Boss Huang's character? I need to think about what to do next!"
Lu Ming didn't want to owe Cheng Yong'an such a huge favor.
Although it might just be a phone call, it would be extremely difficult for him to repay this favor later.
People are different!
Especially when you reach the age of forty, even classmates and seniors who used to play ball together in school often find that the gap between them is so large that it is hard to forget.
I can't even see the taillights!
That's life!
To be precise, it's difficult for good people and those who are content with a stable life to get ahead in this society, unless they are exceptionally capable.
"I'll find out first, but as you know, the bottom line of these low-level bosses in the construction industry is extremely low!" Cheng Yong'an could only continue to remind his junior, Lu Ming.
Guo Haili is, after all, Rui Rui's biological mother. It would be quite awkward if she were to be deceived too badly in the end.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, senior!"
Lu Ming sighed helplessly, realizing he had no choice but to owe this favor.
After hanging up the phone.
He continued to sit alone on the sofa in the living room, looking at the sky outside, his heart filled with many emotions.
When you reach forty, it's really too difficult to bridge the gap between people.
Therefore, it is said that one should be established at thirty and free from doubt at forty.
When you reach forty, there really isn't much better way than to think more positively.
Unless a system can be activated.
A few days later, it was mid-April.
The news finally became clear.
At the provincial investment group, the project manager in charge of that expressway was surnamed Zheng. He had a good relationship with Boss Huang and they often ate, drank, and went for foot massages together.
According to this person's answer, Boss Huang has a wife and son in Huaizhou, and does indeed have tens of millions of assets, but he is quite ruthless.
His wife didn't dare to interfere in his affairs at all.
Therefore, every year or two, Boss Huang would find a new woman, specifically targeting divorced women in their thirties and forties.
Taking advantage of these women's eagerness to marry the boss, they arbitrarily humiliate them, or even play with them for months without paying.
Cheng Yong'an made a special call to tell Lu Ming the information he had found out, and then discussed, "Da Ming, this weekend, you organize a dinner party at home. Your sister-in-law and I will invite Xue Meiting over for a meal and ask her to help deal with Boss Huang!"
"what?"
Lu Ming was slightly taken aback.
He has a very bad relationship with Gao He's mother. They are neighbors living across the street, but he has never seen her a second time.
Cheng Yong'an pointed out, "Xue Meiting is the newly appointed vice president of the provincial investment group, in charge of the evaluation and acceptance of infrastructure investment projects. If she's willing to help, that Boss Huang is nothing but a dead dog!"
"Okay, I'll organize a dinner party this weekend!"
Lu Ming had no choice but to agree. His ex-wife, Guo Haili, didn't deserve sympathy, but he couldn't let his guard down against scum like Boss Huang.
Based on his understanding of Guo Haili, he knew she wouldn't easily sleep with a man.
How so?
Guo Haili has one advantage: she has never cheated on her husband over the years. But rather than being faithful to her marriage, it's more accurate to say that she sets an exceptionally high price for herself.
Even if she and her husband only slept in the same room for one night, she would still want to calculate the amount to 100,000 or 200,000.
To be honest, even if a woman like that remarries, she's unlikely to have a good life.
