Chapter 1327 The struggle begins again, and of course, the struggle must be fierce! (Day 1 of Sunday-Saturday, please vote with monthly tickets!)

This time, the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

Not to mention that the speaker had ulterior motives.

Lu Tao, who was being used as a scapegoat, could no longer pretend to advise as he did in the original story. In reality, he was just aloof and full of a sense of superiority, watching the show from the sidelines.

This is not an attempt to slander him!
He appears affectionate, but in reality, it's all superficial; his affection for Xia Lin is merely for the sake of it.

But judging from his daily behavior, that's not what he really had in mind.

For example, he and Xia Lin were so deeply in love that they were practically on the verge of getting married. Yet, when faced with a motorcycle girl who had a direct crush on him, he would say he had a girlfriend, but then turn around and grab her hand to go shopping in Beijing.

Yes!
This was a job arranged by his own father, who wanted him to take his business partner's daughter out to play, as a way of showing hospitality.

He was clearly going to reject her, but then he casually took her hand several times. What was the meaning of that?
He readily agreed when the other party wanted to transfer to a school in Beijing for his sake.

Isn't this just verbally refusing but not at all in terms of actions, or even actively flirting and giving the other person room to imagine?

And then there's Yang Xiaoyun, this good buddy's girlfriend—no, his wife.

He did help the other party buy a house in the Youth Community at a low discount, but when faced with his friend's wife's obviously ambiguous kissing action, he did not dodge at all, and directly and openly let her kiss his cheek in front of his own father. Is it possible that he didn't have some fantasies of 'not being polite to his friend's wife'?

You should know that he's a thrill-seeker who's capable of anything, like flirting with his friend's girlfriend or his girlfriend's best friend right in front of his own girlfriend!

This guy was belittled by his friend's wife, with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, and he was the one being compared to her, being praised to the skies. To say that someone watching from the sidelines felt unhappy would be to overestimate human nature and the character of a rich second-generation protagonist like him.

But it's different now.

The secret smugness he should have felt before was now replaced by a shock when He Chen caused Xiang Nan, the victim, to erupt in this humiliating situation, belittling him to nothing. This caused Xiang Nan to be so irritated that he even broke down completely!

no way!
He Chen had insulted and criticized him repeatedly, with various intense and relentless taunts, which had repeatedly broken his defenses.

But gradually he became a seasoned veteran.

He shrank back and let He Chen scold him.

Love as much as you like.

Anyway, he can't resist it.

But Xiang Nan is not He Chen!
He Chen's strength is obvious to all. He was defeated, criticized, and scolded, but he comforted himself to some extent, knowing that others could understand this as well.

But now they're criticizing and belittling him, almost directly quoting He Chen's words, saying that he relied on his father and that he struggled because he felt he was inferior to his friend Xiang Nan!
It was Xiang Nan, the guy who used to look down on others from a high position and even secretly enjoyed his ambiguous relationship with the other party's wife!

This immediately broke through his defenses!
Moreover, this was even more damaging than when He Chen scolded or confronted him before, causing him to break down even further.

A friend who was far inferior to him actually despised him from the bottom of his heart, thinking that He Chen's insults were justified and that he was a useless woman who relied on her father's influence to achieve success.

How can we tolerate this?!
At this moment, because He Chen was ostracized from his circle of friends and disappeared, Lu Tao, who had almost forgotten the unpleasant past and regained his confidence and arrogance, was completely hurt by Xiang Nan's unintentional outburst and reckless words.

It's the kind of injury that really hurts a cat's head!

The incident of being slapped in the face in the mall ended in a rather muddled way.

Xiang Nan felt utterly humiliated and deeply hurt, but looking at Lu Tao's distorted, unrecognizable face, he immediately calmed down and realized that he had slapped Lu Tao hard across the face.

Men are stronger, you know.

The power of a slap is certainly different. But what's done is done; you can't take back what you've said. Why should he?

After hearing He Chen criticize Lu Tao so many times, he didn't say it, but deep down he agreed with He Chen's claims that Lu Tao was a female entrepreneur who relied on her father's connections to become a CEO.

Not to mention him, in the original storyline, Lu Tao's beloved girlfriend Xia Lin once said that Lu Tao actually relied on his father and women, which directly broke Lu Tao's defenses.

Not feeling he had said anything wrong, and unwilling to humble himself and apologize to Lu Tao, a female striver he genuinely felt was inferior to him, he could only end this awkward situation by crying to his wife about cheating on her.

He and Yang Xiaoyun made up quickly. After all, as long as you're willing to be a dog and provide emotional support, a dog's lifespan, though shorter than a human's, can still be quite long.

Having been severely hurt and broken down, Lu Tao was dragged back by his girlfriend and lay there like a corpse, staring straight at the ceiling, panting heavily.

This terrified Xia Lin, but no matter what she said or tried to persuade him, she couldn't get a response from Lu Tao.

She didn't dare to force him, so she could only stay by his side carefully. She watched him stare blankly at the ceiling all night, his eyes wide open in a frightening way.

She now understood why He Chen always liked to use "Dream of the Red Chamber" as a metaphor.

My boyfriend Lu Tao's childish mentality and his state after his defenses crumbled are not so much like Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber, but they are exactly the same.

She's become Xiren!
After lying there with his eyes open all night, Lu Tao finally recovered and then began to have a big reaction.

He reiterated that he wanted to quit the job that his father, the CEO, was feeding him, and that he wanted to work hard on his own, relying on himself, not his father!
He also wants to buy a house so that Xia Lin can have a home!

Moreover, it's not through his father's connections; he's buying a house in a community developed by his father, but in a better and more upscale neighborhood.

Xia Lin listened to him for a long time and understood that Xiang Nan's unintentional quotation of He Chen's words had caused him great harm.

Compared to He Chen, her boyfriend had been more discouraged and hadn't mustered up the courage yet. But he was determined to compete with his buddy Xiang Nan and defeat him to prove that although he might not be as good as He Chen for now, he was definitely the absolute center of attention in their circle of friends.

It's only natural that Xiang Nan's wife, Yang Xiaoyun, takes him as a role model.

Although Charlene felt it shouldn't be like this, her boyfriend's lifeless posture last night was still too frightening, so she didn't dare to say anything and could only choose to support him.

Besides, she had previously expressed her desire to work hard alongside him, and she harbored some negative feelings of jealousy towards his success, occasionally making sarcastic remarks about him.

He can't possibly abandon his cheat codes now and work hard with her in a down-to-earth manner, only to find that she doesn't support him anymore, can he?

So what became of her?

So she readily agreed and pledged to work hard with him to buy a house, a car, and get married. She believed that she and he were no worse than anyone else.

It’s just that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

Not to mention there's also a CEO who's relentlessly pursuing them.

Lu Tao quickly found himself in a predicament.

First, there was the project that the CEO of Badao forced on him. He said he didn't want to do it anymore and even asked his boss not to let him be in charge of projects with the CEO of Badao anymore. He wanted to take on projects on his own.

Then, after repeated attempts to persuade him failed, the manager gave him the new employee benefits he was entitled to.

He couldn't accept it.

Finally, after obtaining the approval of Lu Tao's father, the CEO, the manager promoted him, gave him freedom, and let him fly free.
