Chapter 1253 A Single Strike to Destroy the World! (Day 6 of Saturday, requesting monthly votes!)

Lu Tao felt a little dizzy.

He remembered how exhilarating it was to quote the outrageous remarks he heard from his billionaire father and the high spirits of Hua Zi and the others when they were talking, and how much he hoped to take down He Chen's limelight.

Now, seeing Hua Zi and the others suddenly realize what He Chen's outburst and look at him with caution and sympathy, his blood pressure soars.

So hateful!

Why does He Chen always manage to say things that raise his blood pressure?

Why is there always one set of rules, as if there's always a reason behind them?
Could it really be him, no, his whole family, who were all wrong, the bad guys, while He Chen was the good guy, the kind guy, and always on the right side?

"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry!" Xiang Nan directly used this proverb to express his agreement with He Chen's analysis.

Because it's so logical and well-founded, it sounds like it's true.

Anyway, he's more real and believable than Lu Tao, who was all smiles and bragging to them, giving them a sense of unreality!
So he immediately assumed that what He Chen said was true, and took it all as a father trying to win back the heart of his son whom he had wronged, and had to brag and act like he was a great man.

There is nothing to say about this.

When children are young, they always see their fathers as so powerful.

But as I grew up, I realized that my father was actually very ordinary. His strength was just a projection of his love and an amplification of my own youthful ignorance.

"Is the status of Chinese people abroad really that low? No way!" Hua Zi glared at Xiang Nan, quickly using questioning to ease Lu Tao's face, which was about to explode with high blood pressure.

He realized that ever since he learned that being He Chen's friend could attract Yang Xiaoyun, Xiang Nan had become more proactive and thorough than He Chen's original friend in his circle of friends.

At this moment, even though they could clearly see that Lu Tao was about to completely break down, they still added fuel to the fire.

“It’s lower than you think!” He Chen explained: “Do you know what image and status Chinese people have in the eyes of foreigners?”
A white man's lackey!

They are looked down upon by white patriarchs, and other ethnic groups oppressed by white patriarchs want to win them over, but they themselves are unwilling, which leads to their collective rejection and targeting by other ethnic groups.

This phenomenon was witnessed by the white men, who, being kind-hearted, added fuel to the fire.

The President publicly and repeatedly promotes in the news that Chinese people are a model race, particularly hardworking in making money, and never cause trouble.

Once this image was made public and widely publicized, what was originally a vague concept became common knowledge known to everyone.

Everyone now knows they are rich and easy to bully.

Then everyone wanted to take them.

Here comes the hellish joke about Chinese Americans.

You know, many cities in the United States have Chinatowns, right?
But do you know who lives in those Chinatowns?
My intuition tells me I'm of Chinese descent.
wrong!

The area is now mostly populated by African Americans and other ethnic groups.

Why?

Lu Tao's father has already given the answer.

"Sports stars who will make a lot of money," very powerful and imposing, pointing here and there, fiercely saying, "This is mine, this is also mine," and then all of Chinatown belongs to them.

The Chinese who should have lived there and become the mainstream were instead driven out of their original settlements, just like the Native Americans in the past, wandering around, being bullied and plundered.

That's right! This system is not only not very similar to the westward expansion of the white gentlemen back then, but it's practically identical!
In such a living environment for Chinese people, it's already a blessing if they aren't subjected to the horrifying label of being "priced like dirt." How dare they, like Lu Tao's father, arbitrarily declare that this is his and that this is his, and tell people to get out of the way?

What kind of American hellish joke is this?!

Soros, Buffett... among these real bigwigs on Wall Street, is there any Chinese person whose name you can name?
Not a single one!

"Lu Tao, don't get agitated. What He Chen said may not all be true... Besides, how much money can you earn in the long run?" Hua Zi quickly comforted Lu Tao, whose face was turning increasingly red.

"Think of something happy! Your father is already amazing! He wants to show you his strength so you can accept him; he needs you as his son!"
You're not someone who cares that much about money, otherwise you would have gone to the Milai family to become their live-in son-in-law.

What could be more important to you than feelings?
This is at most a white lie!

Although these words were somewhat harsh, they did effectively relieve Lu Tao's almost exploding high blood pressure. He thought about it and realized that he did indeed 'care more' about relationships.

His father may not be as awesome as he claims, but he's still pretty awesome. The reason he wants to brag is just so his son can accept it. What more could he ask for?

I'm still so angry!
I thought I would finally beat He Chen this time, but I lost again.

And yet, he still lost because of his own father's boasting... his so-called white lies, damn it!
I've already told you about He Chen, who's my enemy, and you even said you'd help me. Why won't you tell me the truth? You made me misjudge the situation and caused me to lose face so badly!
At this moment, Lu Tao felt dissatisfied and resentful towards his biological father.

Instead of wasting your own time, blame others!

He understands so well!
“A white lie isn’t a lie!” Lu Tao glared at He Chen, hoping to use this argument to ‘draw a draw’ with He Chen.

"A white lie is still a lie!" He Chen sneered, showing no respect for this 'tie'.

"Furthermore, putting that aside, when I say he lied to you, I don't just mean that he bragged in front of you!"
There's an even deeper meaning behind it!

Didn't you notice?

As Lu Tao racked his brains, his face grim, He Chen paused for a moment before giving his answer: "Do you remember me saying that he needs you? That's the implication!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Tao's face darkened.

This statement should have been perfectly fine, but He Chen is now saying that it's related to his own father deceiving him.

He had a strong sense of foreboding.

"Can't you even figure this out?" He Chen looked at him mockingly: "He needs you, both because he needs you as his son to be his heir, and also because he needs you to go back to China to develop real estate!"

Or to be more precise, he needs the identity you despise the most!
Guess who that is?

Lu Tao: "..."

Very meow!
He is not a fool!

Now that things have been said to this extent, what is there that we don't know?
It just means he's Lu Yaxun's adopted son.

Although he didn't want to admit it and preferred to believe that He Chen was deliberately trying to hurt him and sow discord between him and his father, he couldn't help but think about this possibility.

He indeed looked down on his adoptive father, Lu Yaxun.

In the original storyline without He Chen, he would never have thought about it in this way, nor would he have admitted it.

But now that He Chen has come along, he used his despised adoptive father Lu Yaxun to slap the mother and son in the face repeatedly, almost describing them as the most heartless and inhuman creatures. Now that He Chen is implying and suggesting things to him, how could he not understand?
