Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1248 Let alone a piece, there's not even a shred of decency left!
Lu Tao was speechless and could only leave in anger.

His girlfriend, Charlene, called out to him to follow.

The three of them, Hua Zi and his companions, were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother He Chen, aren't you hurting him too much?" Hua Zi felt the call of the Chinese classic, the Doctrine of the Mean, and couldn't help but remind He Chen.

He Chen threw the cup heavily at Hua Zi.

Hua Zi instinctively ducked to avoid it.

The cup smashed on the ground, shattering into pieces.

"He Chen, what are you doing?" Hua Zi asked in shock.

"I'm answering you," He Chen laughed. "This is a sophisticated way of expressing a situation. If you don't understand, you can watch 'Ming Dynasty 1566'!"

As he spoke, amidst the surprised glances of the others, he smiled at the approaching waiter and said, "Have you seen Marvel's Thor? Lord Asgard had a great time, and this is how it is! I had a great time too, so the whole thing is on me tonight!"

This immediately ignited the atmosphere in the entire venue.

Although Hua Zi didn't know the joke about "hurting your head", he simply laughed and raised his glass, forgetting about it.

Xiang Nan's expression showed both the joy of getting a good deal and having a blast tonight, and envy, jealousy, and hatred for He Chen's inhuman extravagance.

You see, when he usually comes here to order a drink, he always tries to get the change to be rounded down. When the waiter refuses, he pretends not to see it and refuses to pay, saying he doesn't have any change. This makes Hua Zi and his companions feel very embarrassed, so they forcibly take the change from his pocket and give it to the waiter who has been standing in front of them.

After Hua Zi awkwardly gave him the money, Xiang Nan was still unhappy. He took out his notebook and wrote down that Hua Zi had borrowed the change from him.

Each and every small account is very clear.

Actually, the main problem is that he owes Hua Zi.

Given his circumstances, it's no wonder he felt envious, jealous, and resentful of He Chen's spending habits.

Yang Xiaoyun looked at He Chen with a mixture of admiration and heartache.

Without him!

What people admire is naturally this kind of wealth that flaunts!

She felt sorry for the money because she thought it was too wasteful to spend it like that.

Her mother ran a small business, was meticulous in her calculations, and even scheming against her friends; she absorbed this ingrained in her very being.

Leaving aside the matter of Mi Lai's renovation and the subsequent incident of ripping off her friends during renovations, Yang Xiaoyun never spent a single penny on her daily interactions with her friends.

He's the kind of person who always enthusiastically attends gatherings, but never once pays out of his own pocket, saying he'll treat his friends to something in return!
In the original storyline, when Charlene was generously offering to treat everyone to a meal, she teased her, saying that she had finally decided to treat everyone.

As such, she naturally sided with He Chen and felt bad about spending the money.

However, He Chen didn't care.

This little bit of money is nothing.

He felt very satisfied with his confrontation with Lu Tao and his selfish, heartless mother and son today. He was open-minded and didn't mind spending some money to let everyone celebrate together.

Spend a little money!
Not much really!

This can be seen as a rehearsal for what's to come.

Because Lu Tao is about to take off and become rich, he starts to be extravagant. Although in the original story, Hua Zi and Xiang Nan, who ate, drank, lived in Lu Tao's mansion, and drove Lu Tao's luxury cars, always felt that Lu Tao was pretentious and Versailles-like.

But it really doesn't affect them at all.

Moreover, he is short-tongued and soft-handed when taking advantage of others.

He Chen didn't want this to cause Hua Zi and the others to have to smooth things over and reduce the smoothness of his Gatling gun-style rant when he confronted Lu Tao and the others.

Occasionally treating someone to a meal is fine, but there's no need to go to the extremes like Lu Tao and Yang Xiaoyun. A normal, reciprocal exchange is enough to offset the effect of Lu Tao trying to gain support through spending money on social media. Why not?
Tonight's event is purely to pay homage to the famous quote from the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty in 1566.

Playing role-playing games costs money.

He, Ruolan, Jiang Nansun, and Huang Yimei were the most willing to spend money on this.

Consider it extra pay.

Where is this?

And the effect is also great.

Hua Zi and Xiang Nan were originally thinking of persuading He Chen to shut up and not to argue so harshly, and they also planned to ask Lu Tao if he had calmed down or if he had been hurt too much. But now that the atmosphere was lively, they completely forgot about it and started joking around.

Of course, this wasn't entirely because He Chen paid the bill, and they were partying and forgetting their principles for personal gain. Rather, it was because He Chen's sharp tongue, though venomous and incisive, was far more intense than their previous frivolous banter.

But that was it.

They all knew exactly how Lu Tao would react.

In other words, they simply couldn't bring themselves to confront He Chen directly. Otherwise, if it were them, they might have made some sarcastic remarks about Lu Tao, and Lu Tao might have been speechless and embarrassed, but he would most likely have directly admitted it, facing all the problems with a carefree and 'sincere' attitude.

This is exactly how he and Charlene dealt with their situation.

He's already admitted he's ugly, so how can his friends keep harping on it?
They were embarrassed!

That means He Chen!

They could always find problems in Lu Tao's new actions and words, and repeatedly make veiled sarcasm and angry remarks. Otherwise, Lu Tao would still be the most outstanding guy among them!
Those inhuman experiences will become the most charming and coolest proof of his personality!

Instead of what it is now, becoming a dark history he doesn't want to mention at all, being repeatedly whipped and relentlessly tormented by He Chen!
Miserable!

Lu Tao was indeed so badly beaten that he couldn't face everyone anymore, because it was too cruel and hurtful!
It was countless times more embarrassing for him than his affair with Xia Lin and his betrayal of Mi Lai!
That's incredibly unfilial!
Even the worst and most wicked people must be preserved, as the last fig leaf of humanity.

He never thought he needed it!
But it wasn't until He Chen lifted the lid that he realized he was running naked!
Damn it, he didn't even have a single piece of cloth to cover his shame!

Yet, this very person had previously proclaimed that he was rebellious and cool enough. It was only because his roommate Gao Qiang, like the character in the movie "Flirting Scholar" who was comparing misery, that he gave up the title of "coolest" to Gao Qiang.

This still drew a barrage of criticism from He Chen.

He meows!
It seems that whatever he does or says will attract He Chen's scolding and criticism.

But every time, He Chen wasn't just criticizing for the sake of criticizing; he always managed to leave him speechless, as if he had a lot of sense. That was terrifying!

Originally, since this only involved him, he could shamelessly pretend that he didn't care.

But now it's even spreading to his mother...

So when his biological father arranged a time for him and his mother to meet him at the hotel, he accompanied his mother there. Outside the hotel, looking at the luxurious hotel, he stopped his mother from going in.

"Mom, why don't you and Lu Yaxun have another child?"

"Why are you saying this?" Lu Tao's mother was taken aback by the question, and then awkwardly avoided Lu Tao's intense gaze.

“Lu Yaxun is a civil servant and can only have one child. Besides, we have you, which is enough.”

“So my surname is Lu…” Lu Tao’s face showed a complicated expression that was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.

Only then did he believe He Chen's words.

His mother was most likely doing it on purpose.

The family of three could pretend that his biological father didn't exist, but his mother insisted that he know this from a young age.

But if you insist on letting him know that he has a biological father, why not let him take his biological father's surname and instead let him take his adoptive father's surname?
It's just that he's being recognized as Lu Yaxun's biological son, directly taking up a place among Lu Yaxun's bloodline descendants.
