Chapter 2485: Did You Steal the Family Money?
Luo Jiang went home. He had just opened the door when a feather duster swung towards him.
Luo Jiang reflexively used his hand to block it. His arm was instantly in huge pain.
Luo Jiang was inwardly infuriated. “What are you doing?
“Dad, why are you hitting me?” Luo Jiang looked at his father angrily.
Luo Jiang’s father pointed the duster at Luo Jiang. “Did you steal the family money? Your mother has to take medicine. Did you think about what’d happen to your mother without that money!?”
Luo Jiang was annoyed. “I took it, but only because it was an urgent business. I’ll pay you back fivefold—no, tenfold!”
“You—damn right, you will!” Luo Jiang’s father raised the duster and beat him again.
“That’s enough, Dad!” Luo Jiang, who was getting beaten, jumped in pain. He grabbed the duster in his father’s hand and threw it away.
“What are you kicking up a fuss for? All I did was take a little money. I’ll earn the money back. Is that little money worth all this?” Luo Jiang was annoyed. “This mindset is why you live your whole life as a peasant, forever so poor and living a tight life.”
If only his father had more money, he would have had more resources to pick up girls and expand his career.
Luo Jiang’s father was so angry that he covered his heart and pointed at him. “Tell me, where did you take the money? Where did you learn to act like this?”
“Like I said, I needed it for my business. Yet you hit me for no reason.”
Luo Jiang’s father got even angrier, and his face turned pale white. Meanwhile, Luo Jiang’s mother was clinging to the door. As she watched the father and son fight, she could only weep silently.
“I’ve told you that it’s for my business. I’ll pay you back your money when the time comes.”
“Then tell us what kind of business it is. You took the family money without even telling us, yet you still think you’re in the right?
“Look at yourself. What business can you even do? Don’t get yourself scammed.”
Luo Jiang immediately became defensive. “Is that how you see your son?”
He opened the door and stood in the doorway. “Since you looked down on me so much, just wait and see. I’ll build myself a career before I come back.”
“Then get out!”
The commotion in the hallway startled Ning Shu’s family.
Father Hu, Mother Hu, and Ning Shu all came out of their place.
Ning Shu looked at Luo Jiang, who seemed as if he was stubbornly enduring some great ancient grievances, and rolled her eyes.
“Old Luo, if something is going on, you should talk to your child properly,” Father Hu said. “Don’t get angry. It’s not good to get angry at our age.”
“This is our family’s business. Who are you to interfere? Do you think that I don’t know how you looked down on my father? How you look down on me? How you look down on our family?” Luo Jiang shouted at Father Hu, with an expression that looked as if he saw through everything.
Father Hu choked and didn’t know what to say.
Luo Jiang’s father sighed. “There’s nothing wrong. Children just disobey their parents sometimes.”
“How have I been disobedient to you? Everything I do is for this family, so we don’t have to be so poor!
“I know none of you like me. I know all of you look down on me. Even my own dad thinks I will never succeed. I swear I’ll never walk into this house again if I can’t earn money!” Luo Jiang shouted in indignant sadness.
He then ran down the stairs.
Luo Jiang’s words stunned everyone in the hallway. Luo Jiang’s father wiped his face. He looked exhausted.
Father Hu didn’t know what to say to comfort Luo Jiang’s dad.
Meanwhile, Ning Shu had an indifferent face throughout.
He was planting a flag so that once he did achieve success, he could come back and rub it in their faces. Even his parents had become his targets.
Who did they think they were, to not believe in him and break his heart? Luo Jiang believed that everyone must wholeheartedly believe in him no matter what.
They were looking down on their own son. He’d show them! He’d definitely do something big with his life.
