Chapter 1247 Heartless and Treacherous, Lu Tao is Number One, Far Ahead! (Day 4 of Saturday, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"I didn't, and neither did my mother!"

Lu Tao subconsciously tried to cover his forehead, not wanting anyone to see it, and subconsciously denied He Chen's words.

no way!
He had already heard from his mother that he really did have the Heavenly Mark.

Moreover, it was the Bordered Yellow Banner.

Although it may seem that the Plain Yellow Banner is more prestigious, it is not actually so.

Because more emperors came from the Bordered Yellow Banner, it was actually more prestigious than the Plain Yellow Banner!

Saying that one's great-grandfather was a scholar is just a cover-up, a way to bring up the concept of lineage and status.

"It's best not to!" He Chen continued with his biting sarcasm, "Because that would only expose how you all got into and out of university."

Don't tell me that Mi Lai always says you're a genius, that you can master advanced calculus in three days. You probably can't even figure out what 2+2 equals!

Because you and your son seem completely brainless!

Look, it’s urgent again!
Let me explain it to you!
Is it something to be proud of that your ancestors produced scholars?
But you and your son don't even consider who your husband's adoptive father, whom you despise, belittle, and feel sorry for, is?
In ancient times, someone of his rank would be equivalent to a county magistrate!

That's right!

That's the same magistrate who wiped out the entire family of the prefect and ruined the county magistrate's household!

What is the relationship between a county magistrate and a scholar?

The county magistrate presided over the county examination and could directly select candidates for the preliminary examination. Only those who passed the county and prefectural examinations could proceed to the next stage, the provincial examination. Those who passed became scholars!

Not to mention that the county magistrate could block the first hurdle, making it impossible for the scholars to take the exam. They could only kneel and kowtow when they saw him, and life and death were entirely at his discretion.

It is said that the top scorer in the county examination selected by the county magistrate can be guaranteed admission to the prefectural examination, or even easily obtain the title of Xiucai with a little manipulation.

This is enough to illustrate just how big the gap is between a county magistrate and a scholar!
Not to mention that above the Xiucai (秀才) level is the Juren (举人), and above the Juren level is the Jinshi (进士), and only the Jinshi can become a county magistrate.

How could a great-grandfather whose academic achievements stopped at the lowest level of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations) make you and your mother so proud and honored, ignoring the harm caused to you by his descendants abandoning their wives and children?

Instead, you show such contempt for your husband and adoptive father, who were both successful candidates in the imperial examinations and rose to the position of county magistrate and who have given you everything. Tell me, what are you and your son thinking?
I'm just like Sister Fei!

As he spoke, he stared intently at Lu Tao, genuinely wanting to know what the mother and son were thinking.

"..." Lu Tao was speechless.

You really don't know until you think about it, and then you're shocked.

Yes!

What were they thinking?
Because He Chen wasn't making things up. He knew very well the proud and hopeful expression on his mother's face when he and his mother were drinking tea at the teahouse and talking about how his father and great-grandfather, who had abandoned his wife and children, were scholars.

He was similar; before he found out, he was disdainful and disgusted, but when his mother actually talked about it, he was moved and serious, clearly shocked, and his opinion of his father who abandoned his wife and children changed drastically.

He can fool others, but he can't fool himself!

He hadn't thought anything of it before, but after He Chen's analysis, he simply couldn't look at this outrageous move in the eye. It defied all reason and seemed like the work of a madman.

"Lu Yaxun isn't a county magistrate! This isn't ancient times! My mother deserves better! She could have found someone better back then. Lu Yaxun got the better deal. What gives you the right to say that about her!"

"You are truly selfish and heartless!" He Chen looked at him and exclaimed, "In the past few years, I have seen many selfish and heartless people like you, but compared to them, you still outshine all the wolves and win first place!"

Your mother and Lu Yaxun might be like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

Lu Yaxun gave everything but didn't get what he deserved; he deserved it!
But you, the adopted son whom he raised as his own, saying such things is utterly shameless!
Don't bring up how he always lectures you! You even say you and Charlene are true love!
We won't listen to your sophistry; we only look at actions, not intentions!
What about the traces and actions?
Let's not get into anything complicated, I'll just say one thing!

So, does he have any biological sons besides you, his adopted son?

no!
Have you ever thought about why?

Is it because he can't have children?

What a coincidence!
When I first got ashore, there was a medical examination, and my body was generally fine.

At least above average!
Is it because you had a child after leaving the country that you can't have a second child?

Nor is it!
As long as it is confirmed that you are adopted, he is perfectly entitled to have his own biological children!

Therefore, there are only two answers!
One reason is that your mother doesn't want to have children for him!
It's partly out of contempt for him, and partly out of fear that he might take away your love!

Secondly, he himself chose not to have children, whether actively or passively!
The reason is, of course, that I don't want to take away my love for you, and it's also a way of expressing my unwavering love for you and your mother!

Which one is it?

I'm afraid it's both!
Because I heard you say that your mother herself said that he treated you and your son very well, especially you, and raised you like his own son!
I even suspect that he never intended to treat you as an adopted son in the first place, but registered you as his biological son!

This is both a statement and a way of not wanting you to be viewed differently.

Therefore, there can be no second child!

But what did he get in return for all his loving actions towards you and your child?
In return, your mother told you from a young age that he wasn't your biological father!

In return, I've only received your estrangement and confrontation!
What does it mean to cross the river and then destroy the bridge? What does it mean to cut off someone's escape route? No, it means to cut off someone's descendants!
That’s it!

And they did it without even trying to hide it!

He did it for twenty-two years!
Now that you've graduated from university, and you were born and raised in Beijing, under the banner of loyalty, you keep talking about loyalty, but is this how you treat him?
She constantly argues with him, speaks ill of him, suspects him of being incompetent, and tries to make him make mistakes to earn money. She even wants to cheat on him and make your mother find someone better.
Is there anyone in the world more shameless and unfilial than you?
With your character, it's no wonder you were capable of betraying Mi Lai and having an affair with Xia Lin!

Go see your real father right away!
Without a doubt, you two are father and son!

This analysis and scathing rebuke left Lu Tao pale and the others with strange expressions.

Without him!

There are many things that can be done but not said.

But now, the straightforward He Chen not only spoke, but spoke so much, analyzing things so deeply and thoroughly.

Even those who were mentally prepared, not intending to take these words to heart, and were just trying to comfort Lu Tao, felt uneasy after hearing them. They thought that if Lu Tao and his mother really did that... well, they probably really did. When objective facts cannot be changed, one can only hope that the mother and son did not have any malicious intent. So if Lu Tao and his mother really thought that way, then it would be disgusting and inhumane!

After He Chen finished his tirade, he also took in everyone's reactions. He was not surprised by their reactions, nor was he worried that his camaraderie would fall apart because of his scolding.

No way!
Where is this?

In the original storyline, even more egregious and outrageous things happened in the friends circle of friends who actually did them, yet they still managed to have a happy ending by making dumplings together.

He Chen merely exposed what Lu Tao and his mother had done and scolded them. Aside from embarrassing Lu Tao and his mother and making him feel better, it was nothing to his circle of friends.

It can't shake the foundation at all!

He Chen was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was very happy!
Because such a durable and reliable friend circle is so useful.

He likes it so much!
