Rong Huan said without even thinking, “No.”

“Li Tang originally owed me and Lu Yi an apology, but I hope you can understand that whether he apologizes or not will not change any decision made by Lu Yi and me.”

Rong Huan took a deep breath, and his expression was somewhat ironic: “Your son’s light apology is not a piece of gold. Instead of coming here to persuade me to change my mind, it’s better to work hard and fight the old men in the board of directors. Maybe they will change their minds for your sincerity.”

After saying this, Rong Huan stood up: “It’s getting late, I should go back.”

Behind every bear child is a bear parent. Although it may not be absolute, it was true most of the time. Li Tang could develop such a character, which was inseparable from the teaching method of his stepbrother.

“Rong Huan!” The other party called behind him, but this time Rong Huan didn’t turn his head back.

On the way back, he became more and more angry when he thought about it. When Lu Yi returned from work, he immediately said to Lu Yi: “He talked to me, speaking like an apology from his son is the most precious and rare treasure in the world. Don’t change your mind because of my face, or I will be angry with you.”

Lu Yi laughed aloud: “Okay, I promise I won’t change it.” He hadn’t planned to change his mind in the first place.

“Hey…” Rong Huan sighed suddenly again.

Lu Yi asked him, “Why do you sigh suddenly again?”

Rong Huan said, “I just thought, aren’t you his ex-boyfriend? What if he thinks that you are still unhappy and deliberately retaliating…?” He signaled with his hands, which were as wide as a basin for washing clothes. “I feel that their faces can be so big.”

Lu Yi laughed out loud, in exchange for his lover’s glare.

“You’re still laughing, like it wasn’t you who caused it. Who made you look at Li Tang blindly before, and still want to die for him, why didn’t you look at you so desperately?”

Lu Yi stopped smiling, and said seriously, “Whose jealous jar is overturned? So sour?”

Rong Huan smeared a lot of blueberry jam on the freshly baked biscuits, and then blocked Lu Yi’s mouth: “It’s yours. You must be so sore.”

Because the sourness was too strong, he didn’t like to eat sour ones. That night, Lu Yi was diligent and devoted himself to turn the vinegar jar1 into a honey jar.

Naturally, the acquisition was held as planned. In addition to the financial need to recalculate, the company’s upper management also carried out a larger range of personnel changes.

Li Tang’s father’s shares were diluted, the right to speak was reduced, and the company’s general manager was also changed.

Of course, it was not Lu Yi, but someone recommended by him.

The new person took office with three fires, and the first fire hit Li Tang’s father. Originally, Li Tang was studying in graduate school and had a lot of time. He also wanted to get his son into the company, but this matter was of course a waste.

It’s not that he couldn’t get in, just that he couldn’t get in important positions, and he also knew that his son’s ability was good, but he was a little arrogant. In the workplace, unless he was a high-ranking person, arrogance was not good. He would just see the darkness of the workplace every day.

Because his career was not going well, when he returned home, Li Tang’s father’s attitude was not much better. His son was still a little master, going out to play all day long, he often didn’t see his son when he came back.

He checked the account and found that a lot of money was spent on Li Tang’s secondary card, thinking that his face was useless with his step-brother, and he was angry at the company, he stopped Li Tang’s card in a fit of anger.

Because Li Tang was unwilling to enter the society too early, after graduation, he went directly to the university through his family relationship and went to graduate school.

He usually had nothing to do. Except for watching Lu Yi’s movement, he still ate, drank and had fun every day like before, inviting his dog friends out to build connections.

When it was his turn to pay, the waiter said embarrassingly that his card was out of money. In this era, everyone would pay with their mobile phones, and no one would bring a lot of cash with them.

When he got embarrassed in front of his friends, he went home and complained to his mother: “Dad stopped my card silently. Do you know how embarrassed I was?!”

Li Tang’s mother also felt that her husband did not do the right thing, but Li Tang’s father was still angry, so he (the father) scolded his son, and then mentioned that Li Tang should apologize, otherwise he would continue to stop the card.

Hearing that his father actually wanted him to apologize to his ex-boyfriend, Li Tang exploded on the spot, had a big fight with his father, and then took all his savings over the years (the money given by various relatives over the years) and ran away from home.

Li Tang’s mother persuaded her son and her husband. Now her son was older, she must reason with each other and not be against her son.

Li Tang’s father was very angry. His son should listen Lao Tzu, even if he was bitten to death, Lao Tzu would never apologize to the son, and he wouldn´t give Li Tang money, he felt that it was all caused by the excessive money.

Li Tang’s mother didn’t understand her husband’s actions. Anyway, she was also a professional woman and used all the money she earned. She often used the money to supplement her son in private.

But this time, Li Tang’s father’s attitude was very tough, his son’s expenses were a lot, and his wife’s private money was not too much, so she had to surrender to his husband.

Li Tang also asked his maternal grandma and grandpa and his paternal grandpa for money.

Because of Li Tang’s coming out, his grandfather didn’t like him very much, they just though it was okey, anyway Li Tang’s mother was not the only daughter, and there was also an older brother. Their grandchildren were all fleshy, so they wouldn’t be too partial. Pocket money could be given, but it was difficult to pay for Li Tang’s raised expenses.

As for the nominal grandfather, that is, Rong Huan’s father, long after Li Tang made the mess of admiring his son, he disliked the cheap grandson very much. There was no money.

He was not a child. Adults who have graduated from college and have hands and feet, why couldn´t he make money by himself?

As for Li Tang’s paternal grandmother, her status was a bit embarrassing, although she loved her grandson, she dared not do too much.

Li Tang himself was a person who couldn’t save money. He originally had maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, a father and a mother. But only with his father and mother by his side could he be generous and play with his friends all day.

The university was still a small society. After graduation, everyone was out of society, which was more realistic. Li Tang didn’t have any money. At the beginning, everyone had a good relationship with each other, but they knew that he was having trouble with the family, and they didn’t dare to help too much, so they gradually faded away from him.

Most of the people who came to Li Tang’s beautiful skin couldn’t stand his fancy, but they didn’t care about Li Tang being fancy and romantic, they liked Li Tang´s money. “True love” that doesn’t care about money and could tolerate bad tempers basically has more or less flaws.

Moreover, the gay circle itself was chaotic. Students only talked about pure love. When they enter society, people pay more attention to conditions and benefits. It was just a dream to stay together. Most people just wanted to simply sleep with Li Tang.

He had been paying attention to the situation on Lu Yi’s side, but since there was no money and no one to use, it was very difficult for him to know the situation of those two people.

It was hard to hear news, and the only news he could hear were about how good the two people were, and even the former classmates, he didn’t know where they heard he knew Lu Yi, climbing up to him made Li Tang stunned to death.

This was not the worse. What was worse was that because his father was disappointed with this son, he was actively creating people at home every day. Li Tang was outside, and he had not returned for a long time. He found that the number of times his mother sent money had decreased, when he returned home, he found that his mother had a big belly and there were many more bottles and cans in the house.

Originally, the family told him that they would not have another child, but his mother and father betrayed him. Li Tang exploded on the spot and argued with his mother.

There was a dispute between the two people. Excited, he pushed his mother. Fortunately, the servant of the family rushed over and save her.

Looking at his mother’s extremely disappointed expression, Li Tang couldn’t help but feel guilty, and actually fled.

After that, Li Tang’s mother stopped funding him. Without these sources of income, Li Tang finally returned home and confessed his mistake to his parents.

In the end, it was his own son, the feelings were there, what else could they do, they could only forgive him.

But there was a second child in the family, and with grievances, Li Tang couldn’t be treated like before.

When Li Tang returned home, he deeply felt the importance of money. He offered to work and join his father’s company.

Out of face issues, Li Tang’s father didn’t talk too much about the company’s affairs with his family. In addition, although it was not as good as before, he still had power. After talking about personnel, Li Tang was admitted to the company, of course based on his educational qualifications he started at the grassroots level.

Li Tang agreed. After joining the company, he performed well. Although he was not very fond of learning, he was good-looking, active and proactive, with a sweet mouth. As a newcomer, he was very pleasing.

Everyone praised him for being good, and with the promotion of Li Tang’s father, Li Tang smoothly became a young supervisor from an ordinary employee. Of course, he was the kind of supervisor with little power, but still, the speed of promotion could be said to be very fast.

For Li Tang, what he thought in his heart was that he was only practicing at the grassroots level. When he climbed up, he could be financially independent. Then no one could control him, including his parents. Then he will not be expected to take care of that second child.

And Lu Yi and Rong Huan, a piano player and a poor boy, would no be able to keep mixing in the circle no matter how much they try.

He had always had such a beautiful idea, until one day when his colleague asked him to send documents, he saw Lu Yi in the company.
