Chapter 1246 The Scholar and the Heavenly Pattern!
After Lu Tao and Xia Lin scolded Hua Zi for speaking the absolute truth, Lu Tao, under the persuasion of everyone, reluctantly and half-heartedly left and took a taxi to the airport.

After he left, Hua Zi and Xiang Nan looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you laughing at again?" Yang Xiaoyun found their laughter strange and couldn't help but ask.

“I laughed at Lu Tao for being pretentious. He clearly already had the answer in his heart, but he was afraid of losing face, so he deliberately came to ask for our opinions,” Xiang Nan quickly explained to Yang Xiaoyun.

"Actually, his thoughts were clear to everyone! They've been known for ages!"

"What do you mean by that?" Charlene frowned.

She did guess that her boyfriend's dilemma leaned towards wanting to pick him up at the airport, but it was only because they were close and intimate that she guessed it.

It wasn't surprising that Hua Zi and Xiang Nan guessed it.

But it would be strange if she knew about this matter and this attitude a long time ago.

"Can't you even tell?" Xiang Nan got excited, showing a strong desire to perform in front of the two beauties.

"Did Lu Tao tell you before that he resented his adoptive father Lu Yaxun's discipline of him, and that he was resisting not long ago, saying that he absolutely did not want to become like his adoptive father Lu Yaxun?"
But how did he resist and refute it?
It just means you need to be rich!

It doesn't matter where the money came from; with money, you can have everything!
Did he say that?

Since he's already said that, and now a rich dad has fallen from the sky, what do you think he's hesitant about?
Is he really torn about whether or not to acknowledge this rich father?
Do not!
His only concern was how to gracefully acknowledge this rich father!
After all, this is an old bastard who abandoned his wife and children decades ago. If he directly kneels down and acknowledges his father, it would be somewhat undignified!
Especially now, with He Chen watching him closely, ready to nitpick and subtly mock him at any moment, he needs to put on a show even more.

These words made Xia Lin and Yang Xiaoyun look at Xiang Nan in a new light.

"Xiang Nan, I didn't expect this." Yang Xiaoyun's gaze towards Xiang Nan was also somewhat different.

"Hey! You guys don't really think this was his idea from Xiang Nan, do you?" Hua Zi immediately poked his tires upon seeing this.

"Does he even have the brains for this? No! He's just repeating what He Chen said! He's just parroting what he's saying!"

"So that's how it is!" Yang Xiaoyun exclaimed in sudden realization, clapping her hands and laughing, "I knew it! Only He Chen could say something so reasonable and well-founded!"

Charlene fell silent.

These are indeed words that He Chen could say, and more importantly, they are the truth that speaks directly to people's hearts.

Her family really did have a gambling father (He Chen said she didn't, which was a sarcastic remark; she understood, but pretended not to know, and acted as if it didn't exist). With a broken family, she could only do things that bordered on clubwork. She could indeed look down on Lu Tao's adoptive father, Lu Yaxun, who was a "minor director." However, she didn't have as many negative emotions towards He Chen, who was so domineering and humiliating towards her.

Since her boyfriend wasn't around, there was no need for her to say anything just to save face for him.

After receiving support and encouragement from his friends on social media, Lu Tao hurriedly took a taxi to the airport, but of course, he was too late.

As soon as his father got off the plane, he looked around and, seeing that no one was there to pick him up, got into a car and left the airport, escorted by a group of entourage.

So he had no choice but to give up, somewhat regretting that he had overdone it and should have given himself more time to get there instead of reminding his friends that it was time right at the last minute.

Now we can only do as my mother said and make an appointment next time.

The next day.

Lu Tao met up with his friends again.

That's right!

They've gathered again!
With no job and his girlfriend Charlene, who is looking for work again, they both have plenty of time to get together with their friends.

Of course, this is also because Xia Lin didn't tell him that after she left, Xiang Nan and Hua Zi told him what He Chen had in mind about him.

Otherwise, Lu Tao would have lashed out at Hua Zi and Xiang Nan that very night, without even waiting until the next day.

This time, when Lu Tao and Xia Lin arrived again, they immediately sensed something was wrong the moment they saw He Chen. It was him again!
"Oh, isn't this the young master from our scholar's family!" He Chen imitated the tone of Tong Xiangyu from "My Own Swordsman" when she saw her sister-in-law Xiao Bei returning from her first day of school, as she looked at Lu Tao and the others as they approached.

"Xiang Nan, you son of a stinky-footed patrolman, and Hua Zi, you son of a commoner, how dare you not kneel before the legitimate son of a scholar?"

These words immediately made everyone lose their composure.

At this moment, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the fact that He Chen was too sharp-tongued and sarcastic.

Too poisonous!
But that wasn't all. He Chen then deliberately moved closer to the furious Lu Tao and exaggeratedly examined Lu Tao's forehead.

"He Chen, what are you doing?" Yang Xiaoyun asked curiously.

"I'm looking for the Heavenly Mark!" He Chen said with a smile as he continued to examine Lu Tao's forehead.

"Hua Zi, Xiang Nan, what did you two say to him again?!" Lu Tao glared at his two buddies, Hua Zi and Xiang Nan.

If they hadn't told He Chen everything, how could He Chen have cursed so filthyly, mocked so maliciously, and implied so venomously?

That's right!

He understood He Chen's sarcasm and underlying meaning.

He also knew that the others understood.

Because it was he who told them that.

Yesterday, when his mother was talking to him about important matters at the teahouse, she noticed that he was in a daze and assumed that he did not want to acknowledge his biological father, so she began to speak highly of his biological father.

The phrase "romantic and talented" refers to her heart fluttering back then, the same feelings she shared with Charlene. Both mother and son understood, so there was no need for further explanation.

His mother even specifically mentioned that his biological father was different from Lu Yaxun; his great-grandfather was a scholar!

His eyes lit up, clearly showing that he felt a sense of honor, just like his mother.

After all, it's Beijing, those who know, know.

Even those who don't understand should understand after learning about the Tongtian pattern.

He didn't see anything wrong with it and even considered it something to be proud of. He told Hua Zi and the others about it, subtly implying that his ancestors had been wealthy and that he had some noble blood.

But now that He Chen has said that, everything has changed.

That's not an honor, it's become a dark chapter in history.

Especially considering how he had previously felt honored and proud, and how He Chen's exaggerated performance of slapping him in the face made him wish he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

A scholar?
A scholar is nothing!

There's also a third-place scorer in the college entrance exam from Beijing here!

Although it cannot be directly compared to social status.

But they are all exams, and they all rely on brains. If He Chen were in the old society, he would probably have participated in the imperial examination and become a third-ranked scholar, or at least a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest level of the imperial examinations), which is far superior to a mere Xiucai (a lower-ranked scholar).

That's bad enough, but to bring up the Heavenly Pattern again is practically like shouting insults at him through a megaphone.

Without him even having a chance to fantasize, He Chen actually scoffed: "What era are we living in? Why are we still emphasizing noble bloodlines? More than two thousand years ago, we were already proclaiming, 'Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?'"
You, a college graduate, and your mother, who was also a college graduate back then, are actually quite proud of this kind of thing. You're really something!
No wonder some people would rather be a servant to the wealthy or a mistress to a rich man than a wife to an ordinary person, uttering things like "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle." This shows a serious problem with education!
