Chapter 40:
The Bai family of four left the Lu family villa with complicated expressions.
Smack!
As soon as they stepped out of the villa, Bai Shan backhanded another slap across Zhou Shuting's face.
"Bai Shan, why the hell did you hit me?" Zhou Shuting roared!
"Why I hit you?" Bai Shan was furious. "Didn't you hear what Young Master Lu said just now? Do I need to repeat it for you?"
"Damn it, if you hadn't lost your mind and gone to insult that girl surnamed Qin, would we have to pay those breach of contract fees?" Bai Shan snapped back to reality, directing his anger towards Zhou Shuting.
Smack!
As soon as they stepped out of the villa, Bai Shan backhanded another slap across Zhou Shuting's face.
"Bai Shan, why the hell did you hit me?" Zhou Shuting roared!
"Why I hit you?" Bai Shan was furious. "Didn't you hear what Young Master Lu said just now? Do I need to repeat it for you?"
"Damn it, if you hadn't lost your mind and gone to insult that girl surnamed Qin, would we have to pay those breach of contract fees?" Bai Shan snapped back to reality, directing his anger towards Zhou Shuting.
"I... sis... look at brother-in-law..."
Zhou Shuting looked aggrieved.
Zhou Shuzhen sighed helplessly, "Ah, what Bai Shan said is right! If you hadn't had a conflict with that girl surnamed Qin just now, we might not have to pay those breach of contract fees."
"How does that concern me?" Zhou Shuting couldn't hold back anymore. "The reason why our Bai family has ended up like this is all because of your stupid daughter."
"She rejected a perfectly good husband and instead fell for a fortune teller?"
"Why aren't you hitting your daughter but hitting me instead? Are you crazy? Damn it..."
Zhou Shuting, inexplicably, received two slaps and stormed off in frustration.
Watching Zhou Shuting's departing figure, Bai Shan glanced at Bai Qingzhi and sighed helplessly.
Feeling frustrated, he returned to the Bai family villa with his wife and daughter.
Bai Qingzhi was furious but also filled with grievances. She returned to her room, lay on the bed, wrapped herself in a blanket, and tears streamed down her face.
Thinking about how Lu Yu used to dote on her so much, and then remembering his cold indifference just now, her tears couldn't stop flowing.
She, who had grown up happy, had never experienced such grievances before.
As she thought, she cried. As she cried, she thought. The more she thought, the more she cried, and the more she cried, the more she thought.
Gradually, grievance turned into hatred.
She hated Lu Yu's cold indifference, and she hated Qin Sisi for stealing her love.
Yes, it was this pair of adulterers who ruined her life.
Bai Qingzhi cursed incessantly in her heart, then suddenly thought of something. "Isn't Brother Bansheng good at fortune telling? Maybe he has a way to turn misfortune into good fortune?"
Thinking of this, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed Chen Bansheng's number.
"Hello, Brother Bansheng... sniffle..."
As soon as the call connected, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry. What happened?" Chen Bansheng, who had stayed up all night last night, had just woken up.
Hearing his goddess crying on the phone, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"I... something happened at home..."
After comforting her for a while, Bai Qingzhi cried and told him about the Bai family's situation.
Of course, she concealed the fact that she had been forced to agree to marry Lu Yu under threat.
After listening, Chen Bansheng's lips curled up.
Knowing that the opportunity to pursue his goddess had arrived, he quickly said, "Is that all? I thought it was something serious."
"Don't worry! With me here, everything will be fine."
"Really? Brother Bansheng, can you really help me?"
Bai Qingzhi was excited, as if she had grasped a lifeline, and asked eagerly.
"Of course!"
Chen Bansheng said confidently, "How about this? I'm having dinner with Young Master Sun from Hengli Group at Mingyue Grand Hotel tonight. Why don't you come along?"
"This Young Master Sun has a wide network of contacts and can definitely help you."
"Young Master Sun from the Hengli Group?"
Bai Qingzhi's eyes lit up. She knew what Young Master Sun from Hengli Group represented and quickly said, "That's great. With Young Master Sun's help, maybe..."
"So you don't need to worry at all!"
Chen Bansheng glanced at the time. "It's almost half past five now. You can set off soon."
"Yeah, thank you, Brother Bansheng. I'll come after I tidy up."
...
On the other side, at the Lu family villa.
Qin Sisi was watching TV, while Lu Yu prepared for the next step in his plan.
[Ding, do you want to spend 2400 Destiny Points to upgrade Combat Skills (Master) to Combat Skills (Grandmaster), yes/no?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Skill upgrade successful!]
...
Name: Lu Yu
Age: 23
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 136 kg
Vitality: 26 (Normal adult male average is 10)
Mental Strength: 23 (Normal adult male average is 10)
Destiny Points: 0
Skills: Feng-Shui (Grandmaster), Combat Skills (Grandmaster)
...
After dealing with the Bai family and Bai Qingzhi's affairs, Lu Yu had 2600 Destiny Points.
He upgraded Combat Skills to Grandmaster level, and the remaining 200 Destiny Points were converted into 2 points of attributes, added to Vitality.
Destiny Points were once again depleted.
Although Mastery-level Combat Skills were already sufficient to deal with Chen Bansheng, Lu Yu felt more secure with Grandmaster-level skills.
This was also the reason why he hadn't rushed to use Destiny Points before.
After enhancing his strength, Lu Yu stretched his arms and prepared to instruct the servants to prepare dinner.
The life of a wealthy person was often simple and boring. No matter what they did, just one command was enough.
Ding!
Ah, damn it!
Shaking his head to dispel distracting thoughts, Lu Yu got up to open the door.
A familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
"Hello, Handsome Lu."
The other party also noticed his presence.
"Li Xiaorou? What are you doing here?"
Seeing a bodyguard leading a Lolita in a princess dress with double ponytails, Lu Yu was somewhat curious.
This girl was Li Yii's daughter. Naturally, the bodyguards wouldn't let her stand outside the villa waiting for notification.
But...
"Why are you not welcoming me?" Li Xiaorou tilted her body, hands behind her back, with a cute and sly expression.
Lu Yu stood at the door and looked her up and down, "Just a bit surprised. Do you have something to tell me?"
"Can't I come to see you if nothing's wrong? Where's Sister Sisi? Isn't she here with you?"
"She's watching TV inside. Are you here to see her?"
"I'm not here to see her, I'm here to see you!"
"To see me?"
"Do you expect me to stand here and have a conversation with you?"
Lu Yu stepped aside casually, "Come in and have a seat then."
Li Xiaorou hopped into the room, still fanning herself with her hand while sitting on the sofa.
At the same time, she threw a folder onto the coffee table in front of Lu Yu.
"Here, my grandpa wanted me to give this to you..."
"What's this?"
Lu Yu subconsciously took it.
"Take a look for yourself!" Li Xiaorou sat opposite Lu Yu, continuing to fan herself with her hand.
Lu Yu opened the folder and casually flipped through it. Soon, he was stunned!
"Mingyue Grand Hotel transfer contract?"
"Yes! I've signed it. This hotel is now yours!"
After dealing with the Bai family and Bai Qingzhi's affairs, Lu Yu had 2600 Destiny Points.
He upgraded Combat Skills to Grandmaster level, and the remaining 200 Destiny Points were converted into 2 points of attributes, added to Vitality.
