Chapter 1045 - 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.
