I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 339: Unwillingness_1

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Unwillingness_1

Du Lijian had made up his mind, he had to take care of himself first.

As for Du Mingliang, he could no longer manage.

After all, Shen Dong wouldn’t actually kill Du Mingliang, right?

Besides, Shen Dong couldn’t possibly keep an eye on Du Mingliang all the time.

As long as Shen Dong let him go, his company could continue to exist, and by then he could just give Du Mingliang some money, have him leave Hai City, and live in another city.

That would be better than having his company destroyed by Mr. Shen.

Du Mingliang, who was still lying on the ground, wanted to speak upon hearing this but stopped when he saw the look in Du Lijian’s eyes.

Shen Dong laughed coldly, "Do you think I would believe that? I can’t be watching you at all times, and whether you take care of your son later, that’s also none of my concern."

Du Lijian asked, "Mr. Shen, I really won’t take care of him anymore, what do you need for me to do before you’ll believe me?"

Shen Dong laughed coldly, "No matter what, I won’t believe you, just let the situation keep developing like this."

Du Lijian said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shen, I heard the cause of this incident was actually my son’s girlfriend, not my son. I won’t interfere with how you deal with my son, but you are still treating me this way, isn’t this going a bit too far?"

Shen Dong replied coldly, "Since you know the cause wasn’t your son, then you should know your son offended my wife, right?"

Du Lijian frowned, "Even so, your wife wasn’t hurt, can’t you be a bit more magnanimous?"

Shen Dong coldly said, "Sorry, I can’t."

Du Lijian said solemnly, "Mr. Shen, if you take things to such an extreme, I’ll be left with nothing. When a person is driven to a dead end, they might do something irrational. I still hope you can reconsider and give me a way out. It would be better for everyone."

Shen Dong laughed coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Du Lijian said, "I’m not threatening you, just stating a fact to you, even a cornered rabbit will bite."

Shen Dong laughed coldly, "You should know the fate of Qian Xingchang and his son, they threatened me in the same way."

Du Lijian felt a shock in his heart and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

In his desperation, he had directly threatened Shen Dong.

He thought this would scare Shen Dong, or at least make him not take things to such an extreme.

He had forgotten about that.

If Shen Dong could find legal evidence against Qian Xingchang and his son, he might be able to find evidence against him and his son as well.

Although what he and his son did wasn’t as despicable as what Qian Xingchang and his son had done, they still had some minor misdeeds, all settled with money and some connections.

Of course, given their social status, they couldn’t settle if they did something too bad.

If Shen Dong found evidence against him and his son, they at least would be imprisoned for a year and a half.

Thinking of this, Du Lijian said in panic, "Mr. Shen, I spoke out of turn, no matter what, I won’t do anything irrational. It’s okay if the company is gone, I can go to work, and my son can too. We can still live. Maybe this is the inevitable catastrophe for us, and after going through this, we will come to a new understanding of ourselves and the world, we should become better."

Shen Dong said, "That would be for the best. Remember, I hate being threatened the most."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely remember, definitely remember," Du Lijian hurriedly responded.

Afterwards, he heard the dial tone from the phone.

Du Lijian let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa, his face filled with bitterness.

"Dad, are we really going to go work as laborers?" Du Mingliang got up from the ground, walked over, and sat down on the sofa across from Du Lijian.

"The company has gone bankrupt, how else do we survive without working!" Du Lijian retorted irritably.

They were all ruined by this son.

Had he not been his own flesh and blood, he really wished he could kick him to death.

"Dad, I don’t know how to do anything," Du Mingliang said helplessly.

His plan had always been to enjoy himself until he was ready, then work at his dad’s company until his dad retired and he could take over.

If he really couldn’t manage the company, he’d just sell it and live off the interest from the cash in the bank.

With several hundred million in the bank, one could definitely live off the interest.

"You worthless thing, it seems I really spoiled you too much. I don’t care whether you’re capable or not, you must go find a job, you must work, whether it’s as a waiter, a janitor, or a security guard, you need to work!" Du Lijian said.

"What, be a waiter, a janitor, or a security guard?" Du Mingliang nearly jumped up.

Before, he idled his days away, not needing to do anything. Although he didn’t have a lot of money, life was still very comfortable.

Having to be a waiter, a janitor, or a security guard was like living in hell for him.

"You can choose not to go, or you can find some other good job. Either way, starting today, I’m not giving you another dime. If you don’t want to starve to death, you’ll do as I say," Du Lijian said.

He hoped that through this ordeal, his son would get rid of some of his bad habits.

If he really could change, it might not be such a bad thing.

The company is gone, so be it.

As long as his son could turn around, it was not a big deal.

"Dad, even if the company goes under, we don’t have to go to these lengths, right? We’ve got several properties, don’t we? We could rent them out, be landlords, collect rent every month. As long as we spend frugally, we could still get by," Du Mingliang said earnestly.

Du Mingliang really didn’t want to work.

He couldn’t find a good job.

Going to work meant he was destined only for bottom-tier jobs, being a waiter, janitor, security guard, etc., essentially the most exhausting and laborious jobs.

He had no desire to live like that.

"The company’s gone under, where are those properties? We have to sell them to pay off the loans. From now on, we can only rent a place to live. No, I should rent a place to live, you don’t have to rent," Du Lijian said.

"Why?" Du Mingliang asked subconsciously.

"You need to find a live-in job. That way, you can save a little money," Du Lijian said.

"Dad, do we really have to do this?" Du Mingliang said bitterly.

"Nonsense, do you think I’m joking with you? I’m giving you three days to find a live-in job. Otherwise, you’ll just be a vagrant on the streets. If you’re okay with that, I have no objections," Du Lijian said.

Du Mingliang’s face was a picture of bitterness, and suddenly his eyes turned sinister. He said fiercely, "It’s all Shen Dong’s fault, he ruined me. I’ll never let him off the hook. If I ever get the chance, I’ll definitely not let him get away with it."

Du Lijian glanced at his son and said, "Stop dreaming. With your capabilities, there’s no chance of that happening. You better just focus on finding a job. Think about what you’ve done in the past. Change yourself. If you’re willing to change and work hard, plus with your old man’s years of experience as a boss, I do have some decent management skills, you could find a decent job. We could still live a decent life."

Du Mingliang clenched his fists and said, "I’m not willing to accept this."

Du Lijian shook his head and said, "What can you do about it? People like Shen Dong are really out of our league. I’ve worked hard most of my life just to amass a few hundred million in assets. That guy made ten billion within a year of graduating. His influence is terrifying; a single word from him can decide the fate of a multi-billion-dollar company. Against someone like that, your best bet is to resign yourself to fate, otherwise, you’re the only one who’ll suffer."

Having already failed to threaten Shen Dong, he had let it go.

If he continued to antagonize Shen Dong, he might not even have a chance to work, much less get sent to prison.

Du Mingliang said nothing, his gaze flickering, who knows what he was thinking.
