Villain: With God-tier Choices, I Suppressed The Protagonist

75 Unreasonable Request

Seeing Luo Tianming in such dire straits, Luo Chen could not help but raise his eyebrows in confusion.

However, he did not say anything. No matter what, his second uncle was still a member of the Luo family. It was only right for him to come to the company.

“Nephew…”

Luo Tianming stood awkwardly in the middle of the office, waiting for Luo Chen to respond.

!!
Helpless, he could not care about his status and seniority and spoke first.

However, the moment he called out to Luo Chen, Luo Tianming did not know what to say.

Before he could organize his words, the office door that was slightly ajar was pushed open again.

Zhao Ruoshuang walked in happily.

During this period of time, she did not know what was wrong with her. As long as she had nothing to do, she would want to go to Luo Chen’s office.

Even if Luo Chen still had work to do, Zhao Ruoshuang was willing to watch him work quietly.

Such emotions made her a little confused.

However, Zhao Ruoshuang did not dislike this feeling.

“Ah… you have a guest.”

At first, Zhao Ruoshuang could not tell that the person standing in the office was Luo Tianming.

After all, in her impression, Luo Tianming was the kind of person who still had an extraordinary aura even though he was a little old.

Now, Luo Tianming, who was standing here, was no longer as high-spirited as before. There was only old age and weakness.

It even looked like the wind could blow him down.

“Director Zhao, why don’t you go to the lounge for a while? I’ll call you when we’re done here.”

Luo Chen gave Zhao Ruoshuang a look.

Judging from Luo Tianming’s actions, he definitely had something to say. Moreover, it should be very difficult for him to say it.

If Zhao Ruoshuang was here, Luo Tianming would not be able to say anything.

“Okay, then call me when you’re done. There’s a contract that needs to be checked for details.”

Zhao Ruoshuang’s reaction was also very fast. The relaxed smile just now had long disappeared without a trace, and she had returned to being a cold beauty that could only be looked at from afar.

Looking at Zhao Ruoshuang’s back as she entered the lounge, Luo Chen felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

“Why are you looking for me?”

After pondering for a long time, he still could not figure out what Zhao Ruoshuang wanted to do. Luo Chen decided not to think about that. After all, Luo Tianming must have something to say.

“What else is it for? I’m just here to build a relationship.”

“No matter how much we fight in the business world, we’re still family. If something really happens, we can definitely help each other.”

Luo Tianming seemed to have finally found his lost brain.

His speech was smooth, but his eyes were a little evasive, making Luo Chen feel uncomfortable.

“Second Uncle, based on our relationship, I don’t think there’s a need to say anything polite. Just tell me what your motive is.”

“Even if we’re competitors now, if you say that you’re sick and about to die and need my help, I would still help you.”

Luo Chen said disinterestedly.

However, when Luo Chen finished speaking, Luo Tianming was silent, as if he was not the one who had just spoken.

This deathly silence made Luo Tianming very quickly lose control of his emotions.

The color of his face changed again and again, changing from green to white. Coupled with his already wrinkled face, he looked rather comical.

“In other words, you won’t help me?”

Luo Tianming asked word by word, his words carrying a hint of despair.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that I have to see what’s going on with you. There are different types of help. You don’t even want to tell me what help you need, so how can I reject you?”

Luo Chen fiddled with the document in his hand and said without sincerity.

“… Can you lend me some money?”

Luo Tianming’s lips trembled, and it took him a long time to finish his sentence.

“What the hell is this?!”

This time, it was Luo Chen who was stunned!

He had actually thought that Luo Tianming’s purpose for coming here today was definitely not simple. It was very likely to be for business matters, or perhaps he was still holding back some despicable moves.

If he was careless, it was very likely that he would fall into his trap.

This was because the excuse of borrowing money was a little ridiculous. For the Luo family, they might not have everything, but they could have as much money as they wanted.

But now, Luo Tianming wanted to borrow money from him?!

Was this a joke?!

“50 million will do. I’ll definitely return it to you within a month.”

As soon as he said that, Luo Tianming’s uneasiness completely dissipated. In any case, things had already come to this, and it was impossible for their relationship to get any worse.

“You want to borrow money from me?”

Luo Chen was still a little uncertain, afraid that he had heard wrongly.

“Yeah.”

This kind of repeated questioning was simply an insult to Luo Tianming!

However, he did not dare to really do anything to Luo Chen. The current Luo Chen had already said goodbye to his puppet-like self.

Luo Tianming alone was really not enough to handle Luo Chen.

With this thought in mind, Luo Chen glanced at Luo Tianming with interest, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

“If you want money, you have to at least give me a reasonable reason, right? I remember that your net worth is actually quite high. It’s impossible that you can’t even take out 50 million, right?”

Luo Chen said calmly, looking at Luo Tianming as if he was watching a joke.

Although 50 million seemed like a huge amount to most people, to businessmen like them, it was actually just a small sum of money.

After all, Luo Tianming did not want this 50 million yuan for himself to spend. Instead, he wanted to continue investing in his business. It was not related to liquidity.

In that case, the only possibility was that Luo Tianming’s capital flow had long been in trouble.

Otherwise, things would not have happened so suddenly, and Luo Tianming would not have come to Luo Chen so humbly.

“Tell me, can you lend it to me or not? As long as you lend it to me, I’ll give up on this competition. What do you think?”

Luo Tianming could not stand Luo Chen’s teasing tone, and his frown deepened.

“You wanted to take 50 million from me the moment you opened your mouth. Do you think our relationship is worth just this amount of money?

Besides, when you were working on the project, you didn’t say that you didn’t have money. When you did those shady things, you didn’t say that you didn’t have money. Now that you suddenly don’t have money, you still want to ask me for it?”

Luo Chen snorted. He had completely lost his patience.
