Chapter 1045: Chapter 1039: You Are an Ungrateful Child

Chen Hao’s face turned as white as a sheet, Lu Tianxing’s words pounding his heart like a series of heavy hammers, leaving him breathless. He used to be a pride and joy; when he got into Beijing University, he was the role model in his family and among relatives. But now, he doesn’t even dare to go home, only sneaking phone calls, claiming he’s doing well. He simply can’t face his aging father and those eyes full of expectation.

Seeing Chen Hao’s expression, Lu Tianxing sighed helplessly and said, ”Looking at your face, your family probably doesn’t have much money; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent your cousin to ask for money. Those rich kids can spend excessively because they have a good dad, so it’s no big deal. You don’t even have a good dad, so what right do you have to gamble?”

”As I see it, you’re not just a piece of trash but also an ungrateful, unfilial son. You take your parents’ hopeful gazes and end up like this—a top student from Beijing University reduced to a gambler. I truly feel sorry for your parents for having raised such an unfilial son like you.”

”Enough, I won’t let you insult my parents!”

”What’s wrong with insulting your parents? After all, you don’t care. So don’t pretend to be a filial son in front of me. I can already foresee it; one day, maybe you’ll be dead or end up in prison, and your parents will have to bear countless sneers and cold words because of your deeds. People will say, look, that’s their son, who was once a top student at Beijing University and now, because of gambling and running out of money, he resorted to stealing and got arrested. You all better not learn from their son, got it? Chen Hao, do these words sting?”

Chen Hao remained silent in reply. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to. Lu Tianxing’s words left him no room to refute.

”In this world, no one owes anyone anything. Xue Man owes your father, not you. She helps you because she doesn’t want to see you step deeper into the abyss of crime, yet you repeatedly overdraw people’s kindness towards you. Honestly, who do you think you are? No one would sympathize with you; on the contrary, everyone would sympathize with your cousin. Don’t talk about being ungrateful; I may not know much about it, but I can see your cousin has helped you many times. Am I right? Yet you prove to be an eternal failure; you’ll remain a waste your whole life, no doubt getting beaten and thrown into the Huangpu River sooner or later.”

Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself and said again, ”To be honest, I’ve notified others that no underground casino in Modu will accept you. If you dare go, I’ll have them break your legs and make you a bed-ridden waste your whole life. As for compensation, I’ll give your family enough money to keep you a waste.”

”Enough, stop bullying people too much.”

Chen Hao shouted loudly. Although there weren’t many people in the cafe at the time, his and Lu Tianxing’s conversation still attracted a lot of attention, making everyone point and discuss, immediately embarrassing him.

”What’s wrong, feeling embarrassed? When you quarreled with your cousin over money on the street when you were addicted to gambling, did you ever think of saving face? In this world, the strong prevail. When you’re incapable, no one respects you. If you want respect, then have enough capital. If you lack the resources to shut others up and are just waiting for handouts, how can you expect others to respect you? You call me disrespecting you, then prove to me you’re not a waste. If you can prove it to me, I’ll take back my words and apologize to you. If not, then remain a waste all your life.”

Chen Hao’s bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Tianxing, fists clenched, body lightly trembling, showing how angry Chen Hao was, yet he couldn’t find any words to argue back against Lu Tianxing.

Because Lu Tianxing was right, in this world the strong reign, eternally defeated people are never respected.

”I will make you apologize to me for what you said today.”

Before his words fell, Chen Hao turned and walked straight out of the cafe without any pause. He knew, in that moment, no matter what he said or did, it would only invite Lu Tianxing’s ridicule. Instead, it’s better to prove with actions that he, Chen Hao, was once a top student at Beijing University and will continue to be—not a failure depending on a woman.

Watching Chen Hao walk out angrily, a hint of approval flashed across Lu Tianxing’s face. At least Chen Hao wasn’t beyond saving. Now it depended on whether he had the determination to change everything. If he earnestly wanted to change, Lu Tianxing believed Chen Hao’s future achievements wouldn’t be low, as no one who could get into Beijing University was a failure.

Chen Hao went wrong because he couldn’t resist temp-tation. Still, this was understandable. After three years of high school with nerves tightly wound, a relaxation after entering university without constraints led to downfall. Such cases are not rare.

”Lu Tianxing, thank you for helping me today.” Xue Man finally said after Chen Hao walked out.

”Minister Xue, you’re too polite. I was worried you might find my words harsh!”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, ”By the way, aren’t you going to chase after him?”

”No need.”

Xue Man shook her head and said, ”If he really has even a little bit of remorse, then he should take your words to heart and hopefully, from this moment on, turn over a new leaf. If he remains the same, chasing after him won’t do any good. Instead, let him reflect by himself.”

Seeing Xue Man’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing sighed and said, ”Don’t be sad, you don’t owe him anything. On the contrary, you’ve done a lot for him. If he really doesn’t change, I’ll introduce someone to you who can ensure he won’t dare to touch gambling again in a month.”

”Okay, thank you.”

Xue Man nodded gently, showing a trace of tiredness: ”By the way, Lu Tianxing, how did you know where I was?”

”Alright! Since Minister Xue sincerely asked, I’ll tell the truth. Actually, my ancestor is Yuan Tiangang, and I inherited his skills of divination. I knew you were in danger, so I specially came to see if I could be a hero and rescue the beauty. Maybe the beauty would promise to marry me,” Lu Tianxing chuckled.

”Get out of here, what promise to marry! Aren’t you afraid Zhiqing will tear you apart?” Xue Man glared at Lu Tianxing and said.

Lu Tianxing smiled but said nothing more, instead sipping a cup of Longjing tea.
