Lu Mingfei: Don't call me a loser, call me a hero.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Su Xiaoqiang crossed her arms, turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei, and waited for him to explain why she was homeless.

Lu Mingfei did not hide anything from this and recounted the whole story, from being robbed by thugs that night to being robbed by his uncle's family for the past five years.

Since I've already defected from my uncle's house, there's no need to care about my aunt's wishes anymore. Forget about the idea that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.

How can we not expose what his family has done to the public, so that we can be fair to the grievances he has suffered over the years?

Everyone knows that Lu Mingfei is a loser and a clown, but few know that he was once a spirited and ambitious young man.

Su Xiaoqiang entered Shilan High School in high school, so she didn't know much about Lu Mingfei's past.

In her memory, this guy was a complete loser from the first time they met.

She only knew that Lu Mingfei was living at his uncle's house and was poor and struggling. She really didn't know that he was treated like a clown at school and was treated like a farmhand at his uncle's house. He wasted five years like this until today when he finally gave up and became desperate.

"Then why didn't you try to resist before?" Su Xiaoqiang frowned. She was a strong-willed person by nature, and such a thing could never happen to her.

"What can I do to fight back?" Lu Mingfei smiled helplessly. "My parents work overseas all year round and only send one letter back each year. I can't contact them at all."

My living expenses were transferred directly to my uncle's card; the money never passed through my hands. I had to ask my aunt for anything I wanted to buy.

He looked at Su Xiaoqiang and gave her an analogy she could understand: "It's like your uncle and aunt are preparing to retire and travel the world before you've even graduated from university, and they'll never care about the affairs of the world again."

And you were forced to inherit the company, and countless people are eyeing your family's business, trying every means to take you and your family fortune for themselves.

You're struggling to keep the company running while also dealing with those eyeing you with hostility, and you can't contact your parents. You have to rely on yourself for everything.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly corrected himself, saying, "That's not right either. At least you can still control your own wealth, while my money, along with my life, is in the hands of others."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoqiang tightened her arms, clearly putting herself in the situation Lu Mingfei described. This predicament, beset by internal and external troubles and surrounded by wolves, indeed made her feel extremely troubled.

After all, she was already extremely annoyed by being pestered by several rich second-generation guys tonight. If it were those seasoned business veterans, she really wouldn't know how she would handle it.

So he felt a bit more empathetic towards Lu Mingfei: "So what are your plans next?"

"Of course, I'll find a way to get my own things back," Lu Mingfei said without hesitation. "From now on, I'll walk my own path, and she'll cross her own. Anyway, I've always been alone before."

After uttering those harsh words, he looked at Su Xiaoqiang, his eyes habitually carrying a hint of flattery and ingratiation—his standard tactic when he always tried to freeload off her.

"Su Xiaoqiang, do you know any lawyers you could recommend to help me with my case?"

"A lawyer? A lawsuit?" Su Xiaoqiang looked Lu Mingfei up and down. "Are you sure you can afford the lawyer's fees in your current situation?"

Given his current appearance, if she hadn't found him tonight, he'd probably be sleeping on the streets.

"Don't underestimate me. I've saved a full 1000 yuan in these three years." Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows as he said this, clearly indicating that it was something to be proud of.

But for Su Xiaoqiang, whose pocket money is in the tens of thousands, 1000 yuan is just the cost of a meal; she spends more than that on a handbag.

"What can you do with only 1000 yuan? You'll be starving from now on!"

She picked up the gift bag at her feet and glanced at it, wondering how long this little bit of stuff could last. But when she opened it, she was stunned to find an original, unopened PS2 game console inside.

"No, you're already so poor, where would you get the money to buy a game console?"

Although she doesn't play games much, she can tell just by looking at it that this thing is definitely not cheap.

Even though they were living such a frugal life, she still had the money to buy a PS2 game console. For a moment, she wondered if Lu Mingfei was pretending to be poor.

At this point, Lu Mingfei suddenly became somewhat proud: "This was a gift from Chu Zihang."

Without waiting for Su Xiaoqiang to question her, she recounted how she had run into Chu Zihang and his secret girlfriend the day before and how she had been invited to their birthday party.

Now Su Xiaoqiang finally understood why she had run into Lu Mingfei at Jiuguang Department Store. It turned out he wasn't running errands for Chen Wenwen, but picking out a gift for Chu Zihang.

"So the super big secret you're planning to tell me is that Chu Zihang has a girlfriend?"

"He's someone I'm flirting with!" Lu Mingfei nodded and then shook his head. "How about it? Is it exciting enough? Is it thrilling enough?"

Su Xiaoqiang nodded reluctantly. If this matter were to get out, it could indeed cause an uproar throughout Shilan Middle School.

But she pointed a finger at him and said, "Chu Zihang invited you, how come you didn't know how to keep it a secret?"

Lu Mingfei shrugged and casually flattered, "I didn't tell anyone but you, and I know you're the most discreet person."

"Chen Wenwen doesn't know either?" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I don't know." Lu Mingfei still felt a little resentful when Chen Wenwen was mentioned, but he didn't show it on his face.

Su Xiaoqiang felt relieved. She had been outshone by Chen Wenwen when she entered high school and had always wanted to compete with her to find a winner.

Although the outcome is still uncertain, Lu Mingfei's refusal to reveal the truth to her instead filled her with a subtle sense of joy.

And the little fairy, when in a good mood, liked to treat everyone and pay the bill, so she waved her hand and said:

"Leave your problem to me. I'll have my dad arrange the best lawyer for you and guarantee that you'll get all your assets back."

"Really?" Lu Mingfei knew that Xiaotiannv was a straightforward person, but he didn't know she was this straightforward.

Su Xiaoqiang wanted to say that she was so beautiful that she wouldn't need to lie to him, but she changed her mind and said, "Just keep it a secret from Chen Wenwen."

Lu Mingfei immediately raised his hands and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Miss Su, your kindness and virtue are beyond repayment. I can only..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little fairy interrupted him, rolling her eyes beautifully:

"Pah, you wish! You'd be better off being treated like a slave, but if you want to repay me with your body, wait until the next life."

What I want to say is that I will repay your kindness in my next life.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say it, otherwise the little fairy would definitely turn on him.

It's one thing to freeload, but to actually try to take advantage of others? Does she think the little fairy has no temper?

"You're rich, but you're a loser."

So the matter was settled. Su Xiaoqiang then asked curiously, "By the way, what does Chu Zihang's rumored girlfriend look like? Is she pretty?"

Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "That's pretty, looks like a monster."

He praised other girls for being pretty in front of Su Xiaoqiang yet again!

The little celestial maiden clenched her fist and said casually, "Really? How does that compare to me?"

"Of course it is..." Lu Mingfei was about to answer when a sudden sense of foreboding washed over him, and he quickly changed his words:

"You're prettier. My senior's crush looks like a little girl."

Hearing this answer, Su Xiaoqiang hummed twice in satisfaction and lowered his fist, which he was ready to throw at any moment.

Meanwhile, Chen Shumo, the driver and bodyguard sitting in the front row, silently observed the interaction between the two. He glanced at the phone on the control panel and silently told Lu Mingfei to pray for good luck.

At the Regent Hotel, the CEO of the Su Group listened to the lighthearted conversation between the young man and woman on his phone, his expression a complex mix of emotions.

Didn't I tell my daughter to come home? How did our house get burgled?!
