<h4>Chapter 1044: Chapter 1038 The Sharp-Tongued Lu Tianxing</h4>


    Lu Tianxing’s words showed no mercy, like sharp des stabbing into Chen Hao’s heart, carving it out and leaving it bleeding. Lu Tianxing didn’t spare any courtesy, continuing to ruthlessly rub salt into the wound, trampling Chen Hao’s dignitypletely underfoot.


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Hao’s face turned ashen, his fists unconsciously clenched tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he red at Lu Tianxing, resembling a beast.


    "You... what right do you have to criticize me, you’re nothing but a kept pretty boy," Chen Hao roared.


    "That’s right, I am a pretty boy."


    Lu Tianxing didn’t refute, saying calmly, "But do you have the right to criticize me? You don’t even qualify to be a pretty boy, you’re a useless waste, your existence is a waste of air, and your death a waste ofnd. And you still have the nerve to criticize others. Let me tell you, everyone from sanitation workers, security guards, to cleaningdies deserves my respect because they create wealth with their own hands, but you don’t deserve respect, you’re trash. If it weren’t for your cousin’s sake, I wouldn’t even bother with you, talking to you just lowers my standards."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Hao felt a fire burning within him. He had been a top student at Beijing University, praised since childhood, and had never been spoken to like this before.


    "What, are you not convinced?"


    Lu Tianxing said with a coldugh, "If you’re not convinced, you can fight me, but I don’t think you even have the courage to do so. Coward, if you’re useless, go back to the garbage pile where you belong."


    "You... ."


    "What are you ’you’ing about, don’t give me excuses. I’m beginning to doubt you’re a man, being so humiliated and not even daring to say a word. If this is all you’re capable of, hurry back to the garbage dump where you belong."


    "What did you say."


    "You don’t understand what I said? You want money to gamble, right? I’ll give you money."


    Saying that, Lu Tianxing took out a checkbook from his pocket, something Bai Zhiqing had given him a while back.


    Lu Tianxing swiftly wrote a few lines, tore it off, and threw it at Chen Hao, saying with a coldugh, "Don’t you love gambling? Willing to lose even your face for money? Fine, here’s a million. Kneel down and crawl around this teahouse like a dog three times, and the million is yours."


    "Don’t push me too far."


    Chen Hao clenched his fists, trembling with anger, tempted to do as Lu Tianxing said, but thest shred of self-respect inside told him he couldn’t do it.


    "So what if I’m pushing you too far? Since you have the guts to be trash, why not let others step on you? Don’t give me this nonsense about wanting to have the cake and eat it too. Since you’ve already lost face, then lose itpletely. Crawl two circles, take the money, and leave. Don’t disturb the scenery between me and your cousin. And besides, you know my status, this million is just the start. As long as you run out of money, go to Bai’s Group and crawl threeps like a dog. I’ll give you a hundred thousand. This offer is always valid until you die. I think with Bai’s Group’s vast business and wealth, they won’t mind keeping a dog like you."


    Xue Man was staring dumbfoundedly at the scene. She never thought Lu Tianxing’s words could be so venomous. It’s said that in a fight, one should not hit the face, nor expose someone’s shorings. But Lu Tianxing did just that with every word piercing deep into Chen Hao’s heart.


    At this moment, Xue Man finally understood why Lu Tianxing stopped her from intervening. It was clearly an attempt to use harsh words to awaken Chen Hao from his delusions.


    If Lu Tianxing knew Xue Man’s thoughts, he might even apud her. In fact, that million was aplete trap. If Chen Hao did as he said, he wouldn’t get a single penny. It was merely a test to see if Chen Hao could be saved. If he couldn’t, he would advise Xue Man to tell Chen Hao’s father everything. As the saying goes, if you can’t make a clean break, you’ll suffer the consequences. The longer this drags on, the worse it gets.


    "What, cat got your tongue? Be a man and make a decision. Since you like gambling and obviously have no shame, crawling ap around this cafe and getting another million to squander should feel great. Maybe with that million, you can turn your luck around and be a billionaire, a multi-billionaire. Then you can drive a Rolls Royce, smoke a cigar, and p me, the pretty boy, in the face. Wouldn’t that feel nice?" Lu Tianxing said with a coldugh.


    "I’m not crawling, I... I’ll fight you."


    After being mocked by Lu Tianxing repeatedly, Chen Hao finally burst out, swinging his fist straight at Lu Tianxing’s chest.


    Witnessing this, Xue Man made no attempt to intervene. She couldn’t even beat Lu Tianxing, let alone Chen Hao.


    Lu Tianxing looked at the iing fist with disdain, casually raising his hand and directly catching Chen Hao’s fist, applying slight pressure.


    "Ah!"


    Chen Hao emitted a pained scream, feeling as if his entire fist was being crushed by Lu Tianxing.


    "Now that’s a bit more like a man, but unfortunately, you’re still a waste."


    With a casual toss, Chen Hao’s body staggered backward several steps, almost tripping over a chair behind him.


    "I’m not a waste!" Chen Hao shouted.


    "Just because you say you’re not a waste doesn’t mean you’re not. Which of your actions couldn’t be done by a normal person? Gambling away your cousin’s money repeatedly, do you think your cousin is your mother? She’s helping you because you’re her cousin, not because your dad saved her family’s life. Even if she wants to show gratitude, it’s not directed at you. You don’t deserve it."


    Lu Tianxing sneered, "Never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I exined, so let’s change the topic. Did you earn any money while in university?"


    Chen Hao opened his mouth but ultimately couldn’t say anything. He hadn’t earned a penny, even the money for gambling was borrowed secretly online, and in the end, he had to beg Xue Man to pay it back for him.


    Lu Tianxing nced at Chen Hao’s expression and said calmly, "Looks like you haven’t earned a single cent. You’re a leech, but you could say you’re proud of it because your parents have money, and that’s fine, you’re entitled to it. But what good is it? To put it bluntly, what will you do when your parents die? Beg like a vagrant? Oh, sorry, I forgot your pitiful self-respect wouldn’t allow that, so you’re not even as good as a beggar."
