Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1275 In the name of He Chen, Lu Yaxun rises to prominence!

"What? You'd rather He Chen manage you?"

Seeing his adopted son's rebellious and defiant expression again, Lu Yaxun did not compromise as he had for the past twenty years. Instead, he spoke with authority about an even more terrifying choice, or rather, a threat of force.

"What did you say?" Lu Tao never expected that his adoptive father would not only become more assertive but also utter such vicious words.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Lu Yaxun said with a stern face: "You don't want me to take care of you. Xu Zhisen will only lead you astray. Your mother spoils you unconditionally, but someone still has to take care of you!"

Otherwise, do you really want to act lawlessly and recklessly?
I think He Chen can manage you.

At the very least, he can help you understand your own situation and what you're doing. You're the same age, and he's the strongest among your peers.

Whether in terms of ability or character!

If you can learn from him, you won't be bad!
If he could manage you, I would love to take you to become his apprentice right now!

I don't expect you to be as outstanding as him, but I hope you can get closer to him!

"Listen to what you're saying!" Lu Tao roared, "He treated me like that, and you actually want me to get close to him, even to become his disciple? Is he a good person? He's always watching me, targeting me, mocking me, and even sent me to jail. How dare you say such things!"

"Why doesn't he keep an eye on others?" Lu Yaxun blurted out, "It means you need to be watched by him!"
If you have no problem, what are you afraid of?
You keep saying you want to work hard, but if you weren't just empty talkers and unrealistic, but actually worked as hard as you say, if he still causes you trouble, targets you, and mocks you, then without you telling your mother, I would be the first to seek justice from him!
Because he's not that kind of person!
Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, and cure the disease to save the patient!
He Chen's character is worthy of my trust, and even more worthy of your emulation!
Your current agitation and resistance are simply a case of judging others by one's own petty standards!

And the fact that he only stares at you shows that you have this good fortune!

Others want this opportunity but don't!

"..." Lu Tao and his mother were speechless, their expressions strange.

In the past, Lu Yaxun also liked to preach, but he always used the same old tricks, which were not convincing at all. Instead, he was easily countered by the mother and son's sophistry.

In each instance, he ended up sulking after being lectured, having said nothing.

But Lu Yaxun is completely different now.

They are more upright and more confident.

What made things even more difficult for the mother and son was that his teaching methods had changed; they were no longer the rigid, didactic lectures, but had become more flexible.

For example, phrases like "Why does He Chen only talk about you and not others?" and "The fact that he only focuses on you means you have good fortune" are clearly variations of the kind of classical, esoteric sayings that Lu Tao's mother often uses.

Lu Yaxun would never have uttered such sophistry before, because such words are completely illogical and he would have disdained them.

Whenever Lu Tao's biological mother spoke, although he was speechless and would storm off, it wasn't because he agreed with her, but because he didn't want to have a pointless argument.

But now Lu Yaxun can just spout off like that.

Lu Yaxun happened to use He Chen as an example, and when he said those things, it seemed quite logical. In any case, it seems that Lu Yaxun himself believed it.

This is absolutely disgusting to that mother and child.

"I don't rely on anyone! I can make it on my own!" Lu Tao shouted, his neck stiff. "So nobody should try to control me! I've graduated from university, nobody can control me anymore! I'm in charge of my own life!"

After shouting and yelling, he couldn't stay at home any longer. He was so angry that he didn't even eat his meal and slammed the door as he left.

"Lu Tao!" Lu Tao's biological mother was frantic. She was about to call her son back, hoping he would at least eat before leaving. But when Lu Tao turned around, he saw his adoptive father, who used to be so angry he couldn't eat, sitting upright at the table, seemingly enjoying his meal. This time, he was truly full of anger. "Lu Yaxun, how could you do this!" Seeing her son leave in such a state, Lu Tao's biological mother, fueled by both old and new grudges, couldn't bear it any longer and angrily questioned her husband.

"Can you still eat now?"

"Wanfen, am I considered Lu Tao's father?" Lu Yaxun put down his chopsticks and asked a classic question with some sadness and anger.

"This is not the time to talk about this. Besides, Lu Tao is so angry with you, and you still have the mood to eat. Do you think you deserve to be called Lu Tao's father?" Lu Tao's biological mother can make Lu Yaxun act like a sycophantic man to the point of being childless. Of course, she is more sophisticated than some Shiba Inu or dog.

She wasn't stumped by the question; she could only stammer and evade the question.

Although she didn't dare to directly express her true feelings, she dared to take a roundabout approach and use rhetorical questions to express her inner thoughts.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I did; it’s you who thinks there’s something wrong with what I did!” Lu Yaxun sighed.

"So do you think I count as Lu Tao's father? If I don't, of course I have no right to lecture him like this!"

Then let it be that my feelings were unrequited and my affections were wasted.

But if I consider myself Lu Tao's father, and I discipline him and want him to walk the right path, is there a problem with that?

You always told me to ignore him, okay!
I could only ignore his twisted logic and fallacies.

But look at him now!
"You won't even let me handle this?"

"I didn't tell you to ignore it..." Lu Tao's mother was immediately silenced by her husband's sudden bluntness and pointed question.

no way!
She wasn't ready to break ties and cut ties with her husband.

After all, the child's biological father had no affection for her whatsoever. After she returned, he met with her privately several times in the hotel suite. He only cared about his son, Lu Tao, and had no interest in her, the child's mother, or her ex-lover.

It made it seem like she was really seventy or eighty years old, old and frail, and had no interest in that kind of thing.

But she was not even fifty yet, still in the prime of her life, in her thirties and forties. How could she not have feelings when she was reunited with her beloved old flame in a hotel suite?

But Xu Zhisen had absolutely no idea about it.

After learning that he had prostate cancer and had undergone surgery, and after doing a little research, she felt a chill in her heart and understood why he was so cold towards her.

Therefore, in this situation, she cannot treat her husband the way she did in the later part of the original story, when her son had won over his biological father, but then the father fell ill and could only rely on her to win over her son, and she, knowing the situation, directly sided with him.

She still can't leave this family!
She has to eat in the east and sleep in the west, but since the west is not giving her a chance yet, she still has to eat in the east and sleep in the west!

"Then let me manage! You should know how I've treated Lu Tao all these years! I won't harm him!" Seeing his wife like this, Lu Yaxun repeated his stance and started picking up food to continue eating, but his mood was extremely complicated.

Xiao He was right after all.

Men really shouldn't be too cowardly!
Ugh!
He was wrong all these years.

He thought he was giving out love!
However, that's not the case...
