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

Su Ming is a prominent figure in Binhai City. His Su Group is a behemoth second only to the Black Prince Group, and he has connections in the underworld, legitimate business, and criminal world.

Because Su Xiaoqiang was their only daughter, she was spoiled rotten from childhood. They would even try to get the stars down for her if she wanted them.

Su Ming had wondered before if spoiling his daughter so much would make it difficult for her to find a boyfriend in the future, since no one could love her more than her father.

He soon realized he was overthinking things; the girl had only been in Shilan for a short time when she set her sights on the Zhao family's son and even set up a trap at Pizza Hut.

She announced to all the girls in the class that she was determined to have Zhao Menghua, and anyone who dared to compete with her could come and try, no matter how many people there were.

His first reaction was that the girl resembled her father, exuding an air of dominance.

Then I started wondering if my daughter had gone crazy from staying abroad for a year.

What's so great about that kid from the Zhao family? Is he worth all this fuss?

The Zhao family's company is still a long way from going public. Even if the entire Zhao family were offered as a dowry, Su Ming wouldn't bother to give it a second glance.

Later, I found out that my daughter had been provoked by someone when she first started school, who said she wasn't as pretty as another girl.

As a result, the daughter, who was competitive in everything, set her sights on a girl named Chen Wenwen. She was always thinking about competing with her, and even wanted to steal the boy that the girl liked, to prove that her charm was no less than the girl's.

Once Su Ming realized that his daughter was just competing with someone and that her interactions with the Zhao family's son were even less than those with the silly boy who had provoked her before, he felt relieved and stopped paying attention, lest he one day put pressure on the Zhao family because he couldn't stand it anymore.

But to her surprise, in the blink of an eye, her daughter brought that silly boy home.

While Su's mother was chatting with the wives of other company executives, she noticed her husband's expression had turned somewhat unpleasant. After apologizing, she came over and inquired with concern:

"What's wrong, darling? What happened?"

"Something terrible has happened!" Su Ming said in a deep voice, "On her way home just now, my daughter picked up a boy and brought him home."

"Huh? Who is it?" Mrs. Su is Portuguese and has always been more open-minded. She never interferes with her daughter's dating life, as long as she is happy.

"It's that kid you met at Jiuguang Department Store yesterday." Su Ming only has this one precious daughter, and she's always followed around to prevent competitors from using underhanded tactics.

The bodyguard told Su's mother about Lu Mingfei's chance encounter with Su Xiaoqiang at the Jiuguang Shopping Mall yesterday, and then reported it to him, so he was naturally aware of the situation.

At the time, he was thinking that his daughter, who usually seemed so clever, had somehow had her intelligence assimilated by this silly boy.

Fortunately, the boy later knew to come back and apologize to his daughter; otherwise, he would definitely have given her a piece of his mind.

Before he could even try to reason with his daughter, she brought everyone home.

Although I know that my daughter had her reasons for taking in people, with so many empty houses at home and hotels under her company, why did she have to bring them home?

Just as he was about to say goodbye with his wife and go back to guard the house, he heard his daughter's voice on the other end of the phone, instructing the driver and bodyguard to go to one of her properties.

Su Xiaoqiang only realized halfway there that she couldn't take Lu Mingfei directly back to her home. Fortunately, her father had bought her a lot of properties.

One of them is located in an upscale community near Peacock Mansion. Although it is not a luxury villa, it is a large flat that ordinary people can only dream of.

"You can stay here for now." Su Xiaoqiang opened the door and said that the house is regularly cleaned and has water, electricity and internet, so Lu Mingfei can move in immediately.

Looking at the spacious apartment, whose living room alone was larger than his uncle's entire house, Lu Mingfei felt an urge to hug Su Xiaoqiang's beautiful legs in black stockings and say, "Thank you for taking me in, heroine." He truly had no way to repay her kindness and wanted to offer himself in return.

Overcome with excitement, he blurted out inappropriate remarks: "Does this count as being kept as a mistress?"

"Keeping a mistress in a golden cage? You don't deserve it!" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes. "If you say another word of nonsense, you'll be sleeping in the living room!"

Lu Mingfei immediately shut up. Although he didn't say anything more, he stood at the entrance for a long time, not daring to go in.

He was so dirty that he hadn't brought any changes of clothes with him when he came out. He had already dirtied Su Xiaoqiang's car, and he didn't dare to dirty her house now.

"So how much is your rent for this month?" Even close brothers keep clear accounts. Lu Mingfei figured his relationship with Su Xiaoqiang wasn't close enough to allow him to waive rent, so he offered:

"If it's too expensive, I'll have to pay it off in advance and find a job during the summer vacation."

He didn't say he would pay the rent after Su Xiaoqiang helped him get his parents' money back.

Over the years, my uncle's family has never had the habit of increasing income or cutting expenses. At most, they would cut back on Lu Mingfei's allowance, and that money has probably been squandered long ago.

Even if we bring it back, it won't be enough; we'll still have to rely on our own efforts.

"Work?" Su Xiaoqiang looked him up and down. "What can you do with those skinny arms and legs? Even people would say you're too weak to carry bricks."

"Who said that!" Lu Mingfei couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and show her his biceps, but he had just received the [Enhancement] and awakened the blood of the Dragon King. His physical attributes had improved, but his muscles had not changed significantly.

"I've just been malnourished all these years. Give me some time, and I can build a great physique too."

Zhao Menghua frequents the gym and likes to lift his shirt to wipe away sweat whenever he plays basketball, revealing his tight, muscular abs and listening to the girls scream.

Lu Mingfei does have a thin layer of abdominal muscles, but they are from being too thin and don't look good at all. Showing them off would only confirm his reputation as a skinny guy.

"Do you think muscles are something you can build easily?" Su Xiaoqiang scoffed. "If you can build up a muscular physique before the end of summer vacation, you can stay in this house as you please."

"That's good?" Lu Mingfei was a little suspicious that Su Xiaoqiang might have ulterior motives towards him, such as making him betray Chen Wenwen's camp in public.

"If you can't train, you'll have to pay my rent and be my cleaner, keeping this house spotless."

The little fairy crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance: "So? Dare to bet?"

Are you sure this is a gamble? Or just me getting a free ride?

Lu Mingfei really didn't expect the little fairy to be so loyal, subtly giving him benefits without even being as sarcastic as she had been during their previous arguments.

It's probably because they took into account that he had just been kicked out of his home and almost ended up on the streets, so they didn't put him on a high-intensity diet.

Damn it, I still prefer your rebellious side; I'm not quite used to you being this gentle.

Lu Mingfei felt that he was somewhat shameless for liking this kind of thing.

"I'll bet!" He stretched out his hand, his eyes burning as he looked at the little fairy. "If you can't master it, I don't care if you become my cleaner or my security guard."

"It's a deal. Whoever goes back on their word is a little dog." Su Xiaoqiang reached out and gave Lu Mingfei a high five, which marked the bet as settled.

And just after the two high-fived, a game notification popped into Lu Mingfei's mind:

[Su Xiaoqiang's favorability +5, current favorability 46 (familiar)]

[The quest "Find a Rich Woman" has been completed!]
