Chapter 399: Adding insult to injury



As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and a man in his thirties walked in, holding a plastic bag with several lunch boxes in it, which were obviously takeout for Xiao Yuanjia and Xiao Caiyin.

"Why is this room so dirty? Didn't you clean it?"

As soon as Lu Botao came in, he frowned and his expression turned ugly, revealing a look of disgust. His speaking posture was even more pretentious, which made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

Xiao Caiyin was already dissatisfied, and when she saw the other party like this, she was even more furious.

In other words, Xiao Yuanjia coughed lightly to remind Xiao Caiyin to be patient, because when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Xiao Caiyin had no choice but to continue to endure it, but Lu Botao's next action made her blush.

Lu Botao walked over and casually threw the takeaway on the table in front of Xiao Caiyin and Xiao Yuanjia.

That's right, Lu Botao's action can be described as "throwing", and there was still that kind of disapproving expression on his face. Let alone giving them respect, he didn't take Xiao Yuanjia and Xiao Caiyin seriously at all. That attitude was not like bringing them food, but feeding a dog.

Even Xiao Yuanjia frowned, and Xiao Caiyin couldn't help but exclaim, "Lu Botao! What do you mean by this?!"

Lu Botao's expression immediately darkened. "What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me?"

Lu Botao did not give in at all and stared at Xiao Caiyin with a bad face. If it were when the Xiao family had not fallen on hard times, Lu Botao would not have dared to do this even if he had a hundred courage.

Just a month ago, Lu Botao met Xiao Caiyin by chance. He was very humble and flattering to her. Not only did he not even look at Xiao Caiyin's face, he even wanted to flatter Xiao Caiyin.

But now, after the Xiao family fell into poverty, Lu Botao's attitude changed 180 degrees. Except for the first day when Xiao Yuanjia gave Lu Botao one million yuan for operation, he had a smile on his face. At other times, he looked condescending and even showed a bit of gloating from time to time.

Xiao Caiyin was very angry. She was not a person who liked to put on airs. The key point was that Lu Botao had gone too far. It was not so obvious that he would kick someone when he was down!

The key is that the Xiao family has done him a favor and has helped him a lot over the years.

Not to mention anything else, just borrowing money, I lent him a lot of money, some of which he never paid back.

And now, their Xiao family has fallen on hard times and needs help, but not only did they not get help from Lu Botao, but they were looked down upon by Lu Botao!

This is what Xiao Caiyin finds hard to accept. To put it more seriously, Lu Botao's behavior is to kick someone when he is down and is ungrateful!

"Lu Botao, I've been putting up with you for a while. I know our Xiao family is having a hard time and isn't as prosperous as it used to be, but do you really have to kick us when we're down?" Xiao Caiyin said angrily, "Don't forget, we've helped you a lot over the years!"

Xiao Caiyin finally couldn't help but burst out. It wasn't because she had a temper like a spoiled little princess, but the key point was that Lu Botao had gone too far.

As soon as he said this, Lu Botao's face suddenly turned ugly. He stopped pretending and slammed the table, pointing at Xiao Caiyin and cursing: "Your Xiao family is facing a little trouble, right? You have become wanted criminals in Daxia because of a quarrel! Do you know how much risk I took to help you? In my opinion, you are the ungrateful ones!"

His words were extremely ugly, especially his attitude, which was simply unacceptable. Not only Xiao Caiyin, but even Xiao Yuanjia's expression changed all of a sudden.

What Lu Botao did can't be described as disrespectful, but rather humiliating them!

"Lu Botao, that's not what you said when I gave you one million." Xiao Yuanjia said while suppressing his anger. He always called Lu Botao Xiao Lu. When he called Lu Botao's name directly, it meant that he was really angry at this moment.

If it had been before the Xiao family got into trouble, if Lu Botao heard Xiao Yuanjia calling his name directly, or even making an ugly expression, he would definitely have panicked and quickly apologized to Xiao Yuanjia, even kneeling down.

But Lu Botao wasn't afraid or nervous at all. Instead, he showed a disdainful expression. "Is one million a lot in this society? It's just an apartment outside the Third Ring Road. Besides, I took such a big risk to help you. What's one million to me?"

"you!"

Xiao Yuanjia was uncontrollably angry for a moment, then he gradually controlled himself, and his gaze towards Lu Botao turned cold. At this point, he could no longer fail to see that Lu Botao was a dog who fawned on the powerful. This kind of person had no bottom line.

So, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and was too lazy to argue with Lu Botao. Although his Xiao family was now in decline, not all of their assets had been confiscated. A large portion of them had been transferred away.

Even without Lu Botao, they can live well.

Moreover, they have already fallen out with Lu Botao, which means that Lu Botao can no longer be trusted. If they really provoke Lu Botao and he betrays them and calls the police, then they will be doomed.

As for Lu Botao's taking advantage of their misfortune, there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge once they get through this disaster!

As the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuanjia was able to run the huge Xiao family into the richest man in Longcheng. His ability and courage are not comparable to ordinary people. He knows the principle of keeping the green mountains there will never be a shortage of firewood, and will never easily give up his way.

So after he figured this out, he smiled again and took the initiative to smooth things over. He said to Lu Botao, "You're right. We don't understand your difficulties enough. I'm hungry. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat first."
