Looking at Meng Chengzhi lying on the ground, Lu Zhengjun realized he had gotten himself into trouble. Flustered, he turned around, preparing to leave the company. However, after hitting the boss of another company, escaping would not be so easy.
Lu Zhengjun was blocked by several security guards at the entrance of the advertising company. Before long, a police car arrived and took him to the station. Due to his involvement in creating a disturbance, Lu Zhengjun would have to spend five days in detention and also pay over ten thousand yuan in medical expenses to Meng Chengzhi.
It truly was a case of dogs biting dogs, both sides equally messy, Lu Xiaoran remarked with a smirk.
When he was five years old, Lu Xiaoran's parents died in a car accident, and his uncle and aunt took custody of him. It was only later that Lu Xiaoran understood that their decision to adopt him was not out of kindness or concern. They were motivated by the inheritance from his parents, which included over thirty thousand yuan in compensation from the accident and a house under their name.
Living with his uncle's family could only be described as being dependent on others for shelter. Throughout his childhood, his uncle and aunt never bought him clothes; he wore hand-me-downs from their biological son, Lu Zihau. Moreover, all the dirty and laborious tasks at home were basically assigned to Lu Xiaoran.
Boys should be raised in poverty. They should learn to endure hardship from a young age so they can achieve success when they grow up. Lu Zhengjun often pretended to be earnest and caring, unaware that some people might genuinely believe he was doing this for Lu Xiaoran's benefit. In reality, he had an entirely different standard for his own son.
Whenever Lu Zihau made any demands, no matter how unreasonable, Lu Zhengjun would fulfill them. Perhaps due to being spoiled, after graduating from university, Lu Zihau still lived at home without contributing. He had tried finding jobs several times but always quit after just two or three days because he found it too tiring.
Yet, his uncle and aunt continued to indulge Lu Zihau unconditionally and even expected Lu Xiaoran, who was already working, to give part of his salary to support Lu Zihau. At that time, Lu Xiaoran was reluctant to confront them directly, so he agreed.
However, when things took a turn for the worse, it allowed Lu Xiaoran to see through the true nature of this family. After the awakening of his ability, Lu Zhengjun heard about it and hurriedly moved his wife and son into Lu Xiaoran's home. Later on, they handed Lu Xiaoran over to the Yi Research Institute; Liu Qingwan had also discussed this with Lu Zhengjun's family, who were very supportive of the decision.
Sacrificing one for the sake of saving us all, Lu Xiaoran should feel honored.
That night, Lu Xiaoran heard Lu Zhengjun speaking in the bedroom. It could be said that everyone in his family had already known and tacitly approved of the fact that Lu Xiaoran would ultimately be captured by those people and brought into their home.
In the past, Lu Xiaoran was not incapable of reading people. He was unwilling to admit that his uncle's family was bad because if he did, he would lose his sense of home. Similarly, he refused to acknowledge Liu Qingwan's flaws because admitting them would turn his love into a joke.
Thus, Lu Xiaoran had been living in self-deception all along. At that time, he believed that if he treated these people well, they would reciprocate; surely they had feelings for him too. However, after being ruthlessly betrayed by them in the end, Lu Xiaoran realized the truth: these people had never cared about him at all; they only valued what he could provide.
Now, having been given a second chance at life, Lu Xiaoran felt nothing but disdain for these individuals. All he wanted was to watch them suffer and die painfully in the end.
