Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 191 - She Wants to be My Stepmom

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 She Wants to be My Stepmom!

Chapter 191 -191 She Wants to be My Stepmom!

Just after getting in the car, Lu Xining received a call from Ming Yuan.

The other party opened with a weak exclamation of anger, “Su Ting is just a shameless, inhuman, petty bastard!”

On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of a door opening, and Su Ting’s helpless reply, “Ming Xiaoyuan, you were the first to throw a punch…”

From their conversation, I knew immediately what had happened last night.

After Ming Yuan finished cursing Su Ting, she remembered she was on a call and, calming herself, said to Lu Xining, “The matter you asked me to inquire about before, I’ve found some information.”

“There’s a banquet on Friday, and that person will be there too. Let’s go together; I’ll pave the way for you.”

Lu Xining replied with a single word, “Okay.”

The two chatted a bit more about this before ending the call.

Right after that, Haozi called her, telling her that someone on the street had been looking to take her life recently and to be more cautious when going out.

Lu Xining’s eyes darkened, and after instructing Haozi to check out the gang, she focused on driving to the laboratory.

Leaving the “Jingzhou Number One” residential area, she made sure to observe the surrounding vehicles. She didn’t notice anything unusual, but she did see a familiar Rolls-Royce.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it was Zhou Jiawang’s car.

She glanced at it and did not stop; looking in the rearview mirror, the Rolls-Royce did not follow her.

Lu Xining was somewhat puzzled by the behavior of these men, and at that moment, the car’s radio station was discussing the “tens of millions jackpot” event.

“The Yunqiao Village incident occurred a week ago. The parties involved turned the situation around with a cash deal. The editor contacted Ms. Wang Chunmei, the whistleblower of the incident, so let’s hear what she has to say…”

Disappointed with the development of the incident, Wang Chunmei reached out to Shen Moli again, who then connected her with a reporter, suggesting she play up her misfortunes as much as possible.

“I am truly unlucky. I took care of her with a good heart and didn’t even charge her, only for her to repay my kindness with ingratitude! Both my grandfathers were always in good health, but she killed them with her reckless treatment; it’s all her fault.”

“She also found people online to spread lies, simply because she thinks she can bully me, an old lady from the countryside, with no money or power, unable to seek justice on heaven’s behalf! I’m telling her right here that those who do evil will be struck down by divine thunder, and I refuse to believe there’s nobody who can deal with her!”

The person behind Wang Chunmei knew that the situation was turning in favor of Lu Xining but still wanted Wang Chunmei to stir up trouble online.

While waiting for the traffic light, Lu Xining pondered the motives of the person behind the scenes when she turned to see Shen Moli driving a luxury car worth millions out of a premium apartment complex, turning toward another avenue.

At the end of that avenue was the Shi’an Group.

The neighborhood she came from was also known as an affluent district in Jingzhou.

Lu Xining tapped her slender, pale fingers on the steering wheel, not dwelling much on the question of how Shen Moli, a mere secretary-assistant, could afford such an expensive house and car.

After all, there were many workers from wealthy backgrounds nowadays, and perhaps Shen Moli was one of them.

In the following days.

Lu Xining was either at the laboratory or at home with her daughter.

Soon enough, it was Friday.

Ming Yuan came early to pick her up for the banquet at Ming Manor. The styling team was fully prepared, from beauty SPA treatments to fine makeup, and the dressing room was filled with limited edition dresses and classic jewelry.

On their way to the banquet.

Ming Yuan asked with curiosity, “Ningning, if you are looking for a partnership to launch a new drug, Renji Pharmaceutical is better than Fuxin Pharmaceutical.”

It was because the real chairman behind Renji Pharmaceutical was Qin Luyao, Dong Qi’s son-in-law. Ming Yuan didn’t like him much, but in terms of corporate strength, Renji was stronger than Fuxin.

Lu Xining frankly stated, “Renji Pharmaceutical indeed used to be powerful, but since Qin Luyao took over, there have been many instances of skimping work and materials in the shadows, and the pricing was also exceedingly unreasonable.”

Lately, due to Dong Qi’s illness, Dong Qingqing had repeatedly asked for favors from the ZN Laboratory.

Lu Xining had someone accept treating Dong Qi’s condition and subsequently found that it was due to chronic poisoning that her health had deteriorated so severely, and even with treatment, there would be lingering effects.

Ming Yuan was not adept at corporate management matters, but having seen her fair share of villains in the entertainment industry, she immediately grasped the implication in Lu Xining’s words. They switched topics and continued their conversation.

What Lu Xining didn’t expect was that Dong Qingqing, who was supposed to be looking after her mother in Country C, appeared at the banquet.

She went straight to Lu Xining and took the initiative to ask, “Miss Lu, may I have a chat with you?”

Lu Xining: “Of course.”

At the banquet hall’s balcony, Dong Qingqing got straight to the point, earnestly expressing her desire to collaborate with Lu Xining.

She had already had someone thoroughly investigate Renji Pharmaceutical’s internal situation when she initially selected partners.

Although Dong Qingqing holds certain shares in Renji Pharmaceutical, the person in actual control is truly her father; if they really were to collaborate with Renji Pharmaceutical, the batch of medicine she offers would most likely become an exclusive product for the privileged, which does not align with Lu Xining’s original intent.

“Miss Dong, I’ll tell you the truth, Renji Pharmaceutical indeed has the capacity to collaborate with me, but you currently do not.”

Dong Qingqing managed a bitter smile, “I know.”

It was only after her mother’s incident that she found out her father had been secretly transferring shares and related assets.

“If I can regain control of Renji Pharmaceutical within a month, would Miss Lu then consider collaborating with me?”

Lu Xining stared into her eyes, weary yet resilient, and reminded her, “Your father won’t let you take it back that easily.”

Qin Luyao had been keeping a low profile for over twenty years, finally having the opportunity to take full control of the position; how could he possibly give it up?

Though Dong Qingqing is the sole daughter of Renji Pharmaceutical, the shares in Dong Qi’s hands have been mostly transferred to Qin Luyao, making it not easy to retrieve from a man with ambition.

“Since Miss Lu is a member of the ZN Laboratory, perhaps you already know that my mother is in a coma because of poisoning?”

“It’s ironic, the person who poisoned her isn’t someone else, but my biological father,” Dong Qingqing said with a sarcastic look, her face full of self-mocking wry laughter.

Lu Xining did not respond.

In reality, Dong Qi’s current status was not sufficient to inform her, the founder.

However, due to the Redwood Resort auction incident, Lu Xining checked all the related personnel’s information, which mentioned Renji Pharmaceutical’s chairman’s wife and daughter contacting ZN Laboratory for medical treatment.

This left a deep impression on her.

It was while Dong Qingqing was at the ZN Laboratory, she heard that the laboratory had a new batch of drugs researched and ready, which had passed domestic inspection, allowing for collaboration and online sale with related pharmaceutical companies.

Now, the country is encouraging the three-child policy, but with young people overworking and staying up late, their physical constitution has changed.

Some people have been trying to conceive for many years but have not been able to due to health issues, and some people who do become pregnant cannot maintain it due to physical conditions.

The new drugs developed by ZN Laboratory come in two types: one for aiding conception and the other for sustaining pregnancy.

All have been meticulously tested, capable of adjusting human metabolism and physical condition, helping more families achieve their dreams of children.

Acquiring the collaboration for these two types of products would significantly improve Dong Qingqing’s position at Renji Pharmaceutical.

But now the problem is…

Her desire to collaborate with Lu Xining hinges on her having the decision-making power at Renji Pharmaceutical.

The two conditions contradict each other, leaving her in an awkward and passive position.

Asking for help is the most useless action in a collaboration, so Dong Qingqing did not reveal any such thoughts to her.

Lu Xining also gave her no promises, and frankly told her that a month was too long.

“Miss Dong, I can only give you half a month.”

“…Okay,” Dong Qingqing agreed through gritted teeth.

In this half month, she would use any means necessary to take back the decision-making power of Renji Pharmaceutical into the hands of the Dong Family!

At the entrance of the banquet hall, the late-arriving Ji Muye instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Among them, a number of people focused on Shen Molin in a red dress at his side; although introduced as his secretary, who doesn’t know that Ji Muye used to bring Yan Dong to banquets in the past.

This was the first time Ji Muye had brought a female secretary to a Jingzhou banquet, causing a buzz of speculation among the crowd.

And Dong Qingqing stared at Shen Molin with a fierce gaze, gripping her exquisite purse tightly, her eyes sharp and filled with anger.

Lu Xining raised an eyebrow, “You know her?”

Without any fear of airing dirty laundry, Dong Qingqing openly said, “The lady secretary at Shi’an Group’s president’s side is one of the mistresses my old man keeps.”

“Among the women who have wished to become my little mother these years, she’s the one who has benefited the most and has the greatest likelihood; she’s deeply cherished by my dear old father.”

Lu Xining suddenly thought of the scene she saw this morning; were the luxury car and house gifts from Dong Qingqing’s father?
