Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Liang Lu's apology was truly unexpected.

Lu Yike never expected that Liang Lu, who was always proud and arrogant, would actually bow and apologize in public.

This is absolutely incredible.

He's like a notorious bully.

Suddenly, he stopped being arrogant and domineering, and became very polite and courteous.

"Are you... truly apologizing?"

"Of course I mean it."

After Liang Lu raised her head, she bit her lip.

"I know you don't like him and you rejected him a long time ago."

"He's stubborn and insists on pestering you relentlessly. Last night he went especially far and almost caused a disaster."

“But he has been in a car accident and we don’t even know if he will survive, so I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive his impulsive and reckless behavior.”

Lu Yike smiled coldly.

What a magnanimous person!

When your brother was arrogant and domineering, why didn't he show more magnanimity?

Now that something has happened and our lives are uncertain, you've asked me to be magnanimous!

Moreover, he deliberately took advantage of the large crowd to apologize in public and gain sympathy.

If I don't forgive, it will make me seem petty.

"It's okay, I'm in a good mood these days, so I won't hold it against him."

"But is he still in the intensive care unit? That place isn't cheap!"

Lu Yike deliberately brought up the very thing she didn't want to talk about.

She just wants to rub salt into the wound!

And that's what she said.

Liang Lu's heart felt like it had been suddenly squeezed.

Liang Qunfeng, who was at the next table, also looked gloomy.

The night before last, the whole family had almost emptied their savings in order to raise money for Liang Wei to buy a car.

The fact that so many renowned doctors were called in for a joint consultation and surgery after last night's car accident was clearly not for nothing.

Although the hospital paid the costs upfront, they were also included in the surgery fees.

So much so that when I asked this morning, I found out it had cost nearly 50,000 yuan.

Intensive care units are notoriously expensive.

It costs at least one or two thousand a day.

That's equivalent to Liang Lu's monthly salary, which is only enough for her brother's one day.

His meager savings weren't enough to last him until he was discharged from the hospital.

Not to mention the compensation that must be paid to the truck driver for his losses.

The worst thing is...

The eldest brother, Liang Hai, got into a fight and stabbed someone with a pen, resulting in him being hospitalized.

Although the person was not injured or disabled, medical expenses and lost wages should definitely be paid.

He wanted a lighter sentence and to save two years in prison.

They still have to pay compensation and try to gain the victim's forgiveness.

On the way to Luzhou.

The father and daughter did a rough calculation.

I estimate I'll need to raise 200,000 to cover all expenses.

But where would the Liang family come up with so much money?

Liang Qunfeng, who came from a political and legal background, has insisted on not being corrupt for many years.

So he was promoted quite quickly and became the third-in-command in Handong.

But without any personal gain, where would all that money come from?

If you borrow from an outsider.

Do they still care about the Liang family's reputation?

and so……

After discussing it, the father and daughter decided to sell the house.

As for whose it's sold to?

My older brother's house definitely can't be sold.

He has now been criminally detained and will go to jail.

The director of the transportation bureau was already at risk of losing his job.

If the house is sold, my sister-in-law will definitely get a divorce.

As for the third brother, Liang Wei...

He lives in a welfare house allocated by his work unit, and he doesn't even own the property rights to it, so he can't sell it even if he wanted to.

Only Liang Lu and Qi Tongwei's houses are available for sale.

It's a residential property in a good location.

In addition, the renovation is almost finished, but we haven't lived there for even a single day.

Such new houses are in high demand on the market and are not difficult to sell.

of course.

Most importantly, Liang Lu has already clearly realized this.

Last night, a series of misfortunes occurred, and it wasn't just the eldest brother and the third brother who were affected.

The father, Liang Qunfeng, will also inevitably suffer negative consequences.

It's impossible for him to still have any hope of becoming the top leader of Handong.

He will be retiring to the second line next year, so how can he make enemies on all sides?

therefore.

How could Liang Lu still be so arrogant now?

Fighting back tears, Liang Lu said in a humble tone:

"He is still in critical condition and will probably need to be observed inside for a few more days."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone said:

“Those intensive care units aren’t cheap. My mother-in-law recently stayed there for three days, and it cost five thousand!”

"Human life is at stake; no amount of money is too much to pay for his hospital stay! But he was hospitalized after a car accident; will insurance cover it?"

"The insurance can cover it, but only if it's still valid. He just picked up the car yesterday morning, and it was already..."

"It's okay, if insurance doesn't cover it, there's still employee medical insurance, right?"

"Yes, yes, their transportation bureau must have paid for his medical insurance."

……

As everyone comforted Liang Lu.

Lu Yike simply couldn't listen anymore.

She quietly got up and went to the bathroom, and sent a text message to Zhao Ruilong to complain.

The table next to me.

Despite his outwardly calm demeanor, Qi Tongwei was experiencing the deepest bitterness within.

To outsiders, his rise to prominence after associating with the Liang family seemed like a bright future.

But actually?

He married an older woman who had had an abortion and was ten years older than him.

It's impossible for a married couple to have a happy relationship.

Moreover, Liang Lu controlled the salary card.

I only give myself a tiny bit of pocket money each month, not even enough for cigarettes.

Fortunately, the company's benefits are quite good, so when we have to eat and drink on public funds, we can just take cigarettes from the restaurant.

but……

Liang Lu can buy a house whenever she wants and decorate it however she wants.

Her younger brother wanted to buy a car, and she immediately paid for it without hesitation.

Now her eldest brother and third brother are in trouble and urgently need money.

Without even asking any questions, they decided to sell the house.

Liang Lu didn't even consult Qi Tongwei's opinion, nor did she care about his feelings.

Such a son-in-law who moves into the wife's family home.

What's the point of holding such a high official position?

Qi Tongwei picked up his teacup and drank the somewhat bitter tea.

But no matter how bitter the tea was, it couldn't compare to the bitterness in Qi Tongwei's heart.

"If my father-in-law cannot advance, he will inevitably be relegated to a secondary position next year."

“The eldest brother and the third brother will also lose their jobs; one will go to jail and the other will be crippled.”

“I, Qi Tongwei, cannot sink with the Liang family’s ship. I must get out as soon as possible.”

Qi Tongwei put down his teacup and looked at his beloved teacher, Gao Yuliang.

at this time.

Only Teacher Gao can help me out.

As long as I can be transferred from Jingzhou to Lüzhou.

Even if it's to go to Jinshan County, which is economically underdeveloped.

Qi Tongwei would be willing to serve as the head of a county public security bureau.

Because as long as they can get away from the Liang family and away from Jingzhou.

Qi Tongwei believed that with power in his hands, why shouldn't he be able to live a carefree life?

……

Jingzhou, Villa No. 2 in the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Knock knock knock~

There was a rapid knocking on the door.

Zhao Ruilong, who was testing the Trojan, immediately switched to the game screen with one click.

As soon as she got up to open the door, her second sister, Zhao Xiaohui, immediately asked:

"Did you really go to a hotel with Lu Yike last night? I asked Auntie, and she said you didn't get back until almost nine this morning."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What do you mean, 'what's wrong?' Weren't we just having a meal together?"

Zhao Ruilong turned back to his computer desk and pretended to continue playing the game.

"That Liang Wei was like a leech, sticking to her like glue. She wanted me to play along, so I just went along with it!"

Zhao Xiaohui asked anxiously, "After Liang Wei ruined your first time booking a room, did you two go back? Was she really moved by your heroic rescue?"

"Of course she also fell in love with my handsome looks!"

"Go away, stop talking nonsense and get serious."

Zhao Ruilong's smile faded, and he said in a serious tone:

"The reason I was willing to cooperate with her in acting is not only because she is beautiful and has a good figure, but also because she is my type."

"Because of the rumors about her, the Lu family and the Wu family behind her will naturally side with our Zhao family."

"Look at last night, we didn't even have to lift a finger, and she still managed to cause the Liang family a series of misfortunes and ruin their reputation."

Zhao Xiaohui chuckled awkwardly, "Now that you've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?"

"Are you really planning to turn this fake relationship into a real one, and even get married in the future?"

"Don't forget, she's almost thirty. If she keeps pestering you to get married as soon as possible, will you still be able to be a carefree playboy in the future?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Don't worry, before we even got to the hotel, I told her that I, Zhao Ruilong, would never admit to someone after I'd done my job, but she still insisted on playing with fire. How can you blame me for that?"

"Besides, she knows herself that we were just using each other and it was just a momentary impulse. Once the novelty wears off, we will naturally stop seeing each other."

"You're a really bad kid!"

After poking her younger brother's head, Zhao Xiaohui jokingly asked:

"But what if she really is pregnant? Given her age and her family situation, they probably won't agree to her having an abortion."

"It's not that easy to get pregnant!"

Zhao Ruilong scoffed dismissively:

"Even if she really is pregnant, I'm willing to raise the child if she dares to give birth. What's the big deal?"

"Alright, you go down and feed the child, I'll come down after I finish this game!"

After watching his second sister close the door and leave, Zhao Ruilong immediately switched the interface.

I glanced at the test results and was immediately thrilled.

"The Empress Dowager paid so much money to the Western powers back then."

"Isn't it only right that I collect some interest now?"

Accompanied by the sound of keyboard typing.

Super Trojan horse, rapidly sweeping the globe...
