Chapter 2236: You’ve Got No Conscience
He Zhengbai sneered, “Lu Qi.”
Lu Qi sniffed in return. He used to call her “Qi Qi” endearingly, and now, he only calls her “Lu Qi.”
He Zhengbai continued only to say, “I’ve seen the problems you’ve caused your dad. You dare even swindle your own father. I have to prevent you from coveting my properties after our marriage.”
“He Zhengbai!” Lu Qi shouted in disbelief. “Are you still human?! You’re talking to me about this now?
“Didn’t you take my dad’s money too?” Lu Qi glared so hard, the whites of her eyes appeared far larger than her pupils.
“How much did I give you from my dad’s assets? More than enough to repay the dowry! And now, you’re calculating every penny of it? Afraid I’d take advantage of you?” Lu Qi laughed in anger. “Think about it, He Zhengbai. Apart from a piece of certificate, what did my marrying you give me?”
“My mom’s in jail for us, isn’t that big enough for a bride price? If it wasn’t for Mom, it’ll be the three of us in jail now! You couldn’t have escaped it either! Not even the He family could have protected you!
“But you’re talking to me about dowry? You’ve taken so much of Dad’s assets. If it weren’t for you, would I have been abandoned by my dad and left with no one supporting me? I’m in such a poor state now, and you’re scolding me to my face, scared I’m taking advantage of you, and scorning me for having no dowry?” Lu Qi flung her hand hard. “He Zhengbai, I did this all for you!
“But you despise me now, you’ve got no conscience!”
He Zhengbai sneered. “As long as your mom was taking the rap for you, she had to do it for me too. Don’t say that as if you’ve done it all for me. Wasn’t it all for yourself? If you’d left me behind, how could I have let you off?
“What’s more, you participated in this too. You dragged your mother down, and you have the gall to criticize me? Don’t paint yourself as a selfless saint who sacrificed for me, I can’t accept it!
“Did I force you to give me your dad’s wealth?” he said, continuing with his jabs. “If I remember correctly, it’s your and your mom’s idea. But you both are useless and have no idea how to proceed, so you approached me.
“I very well couldn’t help you for free, could I? There’s risk in helping you.” He Zhengbai scoffed. “What you gave me is not because of love, it’s my compensation. Did you expect the He family to help you for free? Dream on!”
Lu Qi shook from anger. “He Zhengbai! Are you showing your true colors now that my mom’s in jail and you’re free?!”
He didn’t bother looking at her. “Think whatever you want.”
“He Zhengbai, you jerk!” Lu Qi shouted. “I sacrificed so much for you! You ingrate!”
“Stop using the godd*mn same lines on me!” He Zhengbai roared back. “As if you’ve been so badly wronged. I did nothing wrong to you. If there’s really an ingrate here, it’s you and not me.
“Stealing your dad’s money and landing your mom in jail. Who can top what you’ve done!” He Zhengbai peered disdainfully at her. “You say you’ve got no support and I can bully you any way I want? Let me tell you, that’s a yes!
“But you caused all of these yourself. You originally had doting parents, but you made them drift away from you. Who can you blame? If you hadn’t stolen your dad’s money, he’d still be backing you now.”
