“You’re so noisy.” Lu Bei took out a book and slapped it on Wei Zihang’s face.

“Aiyo, Brother Bei, don’t sleep anymore…” If he slept again, his family’s assets would all be snatched away by his evil stepmother!

Wei Zihang wanted Lu Bei to call his biological mother and get her to support him. But when he thought of Brother Bei’s biological mother’s behavior, he decided not to call her. His Brother Bei was too pitiful. His biological father did not love him, his biological mother did not love him, and he even had a stepmother who was eyeing him like a tiger.

“Brother Bei, why don’t you give Uncle Lu a call and tell him about what happened today? It will also allow Uncle Lu to understand the whole situation, right?” After thinking about it, Wei Zihang came up with only this solution.

However, it was quickly rejected by Lu Bei. “No.”

Wei Zihang: “…”

He is so difficult!

“Brother Bei, I know that your relationship with Uncle is not very good, but isn’t this a special situation now?” Wei Zihang lowered his voice, he tried his best to persuade him, “Your stepmother just came to the school to understand the situation and went back to add fuel to the fire to tell Uncle Lu about it… Believe me, have you forgotten what happened to Xiao Yi. If you have a stepmother, you’ll have a stepfather. Especially if your stepmother gives birth to a child for your father, then there’ll be no place for you in the family.”

Wei Zihang felt terrified just thinking about it.

Lu Bei did not move at all. “It’s good to have a child. I don’t have to send him off when he passes away in the future.”

Wei Zihang: “?”

Listen to yourself, are you speaking in human language? Is this a question of sending him off? This is the matter of hundreds of millions of family assets going into someone else’s pocket!

Wei Zihang collapsed weakly on the desk. What else could he do? He had tried his best, but the other party would not budge.

Lu Bei glanced at his friend who was as dejected as a defeated rooster. He took out a piece of gum and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of his family, he had always been free to do as he pleased. He did not care if his stepmother would complain, did not care about the family property, and did not care if she would affect the relationship between father and son.

Many people thought that he did not want his father to remarry, but in fact, he did not really reject it. How could a person who had attended his birth mother’s wedding five or six times not accept it when his father got married.

When he was very young, he knew that his parents’ relationship was not good. The two of them were not as affectionate as other couples. They were more like strangers living under the same roof, distant and polite. Their divorce was also a peaceful divorce. They did not cheat on each other, nor did they fight. Just like two passersby who had reached a fork in the road and should part ways, so they did.

His stepmother and father had been married for a month. He and his stepmother had stayed out of each other’s way. Lu Bei was very satisfied with this situation. However, if his stepmother really did add fuel to the fire like Wei Zihang had said, then it meant that she might not like living under the same roof as him. It did not matter. He could just leave. Coincidentally, the apartment near the school was still empty.

If his stepmother was still not satisfied with this, then there was nothing he could do.

If Xiang Xiaoyuan knew what Lu Bei was thinking, she would definitely pat him on the shoulder and say in a deep voice, “Child, you’re thinking too much.”

Putting aside whether she had the intention to fight for the family property, the original owner was not such a person. Why did she say that? It was because of Lu Wanggui! Would a man who donated two buildings and a library to the school in order to let his son attend school properly abandon his son just because he had a woman? That was impossible!

Even now, she still did not know why Lu Wanggui had married the original owner. In terms of social status, Lu Wanggui had a successful career, but the original owner… did not seem to have any skills. If it was because of the original owner’s stunning looks, hadn’t Lu Wanggui seen many beautiful women in all these years?

Actually, Xiang Xiaoyuan was more curious about the original owner.She still remembered the feeling she had when she had just transmigrated. That deep-rooted fatigue, that feeling of being on the verge of death, made her feel that she would meet God again in the next second. It took her three whole days to recover a little bit of energy.

Shaking her head, Xiang Xiaoyuan cleared her mind of all the messy emotions. Whether it was Lu Wanggui or Lu bei, they were people she swore not to provoke. She did not forget that she had transmigrated to earn money to stay away from men. Moreover, a man like Lu Wanggui, who had a certain level of power after going through social precipitation, was different from a twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old boy. He would not lose his mind over love.

No matter how much luck she had in love, she would not be able to get with such a person. It was not that she was belittling herself, but if she were to divide the men into simple and difficult modes, Lu Wanggui would definitely be the highest level hell mode. No one would be able to clear it!

Therefore, instead of trying her best to please the man and become a stepmother to his son, she might as well use her current status to seize the opportunity to get money.

After returning from school, Xiang Xiaoyuan began to consolidate all of her assets. Two hours later, she finally figured it out. There were no endless swipes of premium credit cards as described in online novels, nor were there any fixed assets that Lu Wang had given to the original owner. The original owner’s assets added up to about 300,000 yuan..
