Lu Qingquan hung his head helplessly, looking coldly at the furious Lu Jiangang. He was filled with anger and resentment, but no regret. Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. This kind of person was beyond redemption. Even now, he was still trying to excuse himself and didn't think he had done anything wrong.
“You and Mom have been telling me since I was little that Lu Mo stole my position as the eldest grandson, and that I must make myself proud and surpass Lu Mo. You even said that I am a hundred times better than Lu Mo. All you know is to make demands on me. What foundation have you laid for me?”
Lu Qingquan suddenly spoke very fluently, unlike a patient, and his spirits had improved considerably. Ye Qingqing frowned; this was a final burst of energy before death, and she didn't want this bastard to die too easily.
He was given a life-extending pill, which kept him clinging to life and should allow him to last a few more days, but Lu Qingquan was already exhausted and the life-extending pill wouldn't last much longer.
"Lu Mo has the glory left by his uncle and a good marriage arranged for him by his aunt. What have you done for me? Humph, you gave me a good idea, telling me to seduce Ye Qingqing and steal Lu Mo's marriage. I did as you asked, and now I'm a stray dog. You still have the audacity to criticize me. What right do you have to talk about me!"
Lu Qingquan rattled off a long string of words in one breath, sweating even more and panting heavily.
Lu Jiangang felt utterly humiliated, as if he had been stripped naked and exposed in public, losing all face. Enraged, Lu Jiangang's tone became even harsher, "Nonsense! When did I ever say such a load of rubbish? You're the one with malicious intentions, and you haven't taken responsibility for your wrongdoing. You unfilial and disobedient beast, I'll beat you to death!"
"Enough!"
The old man swung his cane at him, and Lu Jiangang withdrew his hand, glaring at Lu Qingquan with a resentful look. He would never admit it.
"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. You yourselves are corrupt, which is why you raised such a beast. This beast is right about one thing: you should be slapping yourselves in the face!" the old man angrily scolded.
But he felt mostly guilty. He had failed to manage his second son's family well, and he had misjudged people. He had always thought that his second son was just a little incompetent, but his character was fine. He blamed He Hongxia for not raising Lu Qingquan and Lu Qinghua properly.
He was completely wrong and too arrogant. The worst one was actually his own son. He should have thrown that bastard into the toilet and drowned him, so he wouldn't have survived and caused harm to others.
The more the old man thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed his fist into Lu Jiangang's leg. Caught off guard, no one expected the old man to do this. By the time Lu Jiangang realized what was happening, it was too late.
"Click"
A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and Lu Jiangang screamed loudly, clutching his right leg and rolling on the ground, covered in sweat.
He Hongxia was startled and instinctively ran away. She was afraid that the old man would turn his back on her and give her a beating, which she couldn't afford.
"You disrespectful old beast, I should have beaten you a long time ago. It's the father's fault if the son is not taught properly. You still don't know how to repent. I'll break your dog legs!"
The old man grew increasingly agitated, raising his cane to strike again, but Lu Jianfeng stopped him, saying, "Dad, don't get so angry you'll ruin your health. Calm down!"
Lu Jianfeng was even more disappointed in his second brother. If Lu Qingquan hadn't said it himself, he would never have imagined that Lu Jiangang had actually set his sights on Ye Qingqing's family property. No wonder Lu Qingquan went to see Qingqing every day back then, and their relationship was closer than with Lu Mo.
