[Everyone is over 18]
......
"Here's one million. Leave Miss Wei Qingyu alone."
"Our deal ends here."
Thud!
A travel bag was carelessly thrown onto the table.
Lu Xing unzipped the backpack, and stacks of red banknotes cascaded onto him!
Ah!
The greatest color in the world—red!
The Butler said with exasperation:
"You're only eighteen, why have you fallen into this line of work?!"
"A gambling father, an alcoholic mother, a sick sister, and a broken me."
Lu Xing professionally pulled out a money counter from his bag, casually responding while counting the money.
Butler: ......
Speaking in rhymes, are you preparing for graduate school?
Wait!
Something's not right!
Halfway through counting the money, Lu Xing suddenly remembered the key point in the Butler's words and asked:
"You mean......"
"I won't have to follow Wei Qingyu around and take care of her anymore?"
The Butler's face turned red with anger, stuttering:
"How crude! How crude!"
"How can you speak so crudely!"
Lu Xing ignored the Butler and continued counting money.
Ridiculous, as if she doesn't have a behind like everyone else?
What's wrong with saying that?!
The Butler composed himself and explained:
"She's about to graduate, and the boss wants to strengthen Miss Wei Qingyu's protection, so we no longer need your services."
"This million is your compensation."
Two and a half years ago, Old Wei's precious daughter Wei Qingyu entered school.
Wei Qingyu was cold and delicate in appearance, but had an aloof and taciturn personality.
Although in Lu Xing's eyes she was just a silly goose, beauty is a universal currency.
Many people pursued Wei Qingyu for her beauty, but all failed under her cold indifference.
With the attitude of "if I can't have her, I'll destroy her,"
Rumors began to spread.
When Old Wei learned of this, he flew into a rage!
When others get angry, they can only be angry.
But Old Wei was different.
He had money power.
In his anger, he donated a building to the school.
The rumors instantly disappeared!
However, Old Wei was still worried about his daughter's school life, wondering if his precious daughter was being secretly ostracized but not saying anything?
But he couldn't exactly station two bodyguards at the classroom door, could he?
While he was pondering this,
Lu Xing's name entered Old Wei's field of vision.
Trained in martial arts, from a poor background, decent grades, and Wei Qingyu's classmate.
If he were hired to protect Wei Qingyu......
Perfect!!!
Originally, Old Wei thought Lu Xing was just a poor nerd who needed to be convinced with reason and emotion.
He never expected that.
Lu Xing was both poor and street-smart, immediately offering Old Wei a package deal!
The two hit it off immediately!
You provide the money, I'll take care of your daughter.
Everyone has a bright future!
Yes!
Plan successful ✓
However, this job easily made Lu Xing appear as a bootlicker in others' eyes.
After all, under Wei Qingyu's coldness, only Lu Xing persisted in being nice to her without limits or self-respect.
Until now.
He was the only one.
Originally, Lu Xing thought he would have to be Wei Qingyu's bootlicker until the boss terminated the contract.
But yesterday, things took a turn.
A Hoodlum Leader from another school completely lost his head after seeing Wei Qingyu's face.
In the underground world, what matters is influence and background.
What use is fighting ability?!
But unexpectedly, that Hoodlum Leader didn't follow any rules at all.
Without even bothering to check her background, he gathered a group of thugs, planning to use their numbers to corner Wei Qingyu and force her to agree.
Even if Wei Qingyu didn't agree, it didn't matter; they would just have their gang members call her "sister-in-law."
If word of this "sister-in-law" business spread around campus, what could Wei Qingyu do?
Could Lu Xing tolerate this?
He was someone with extremely high professional standards; no one could harm his client!
The conflict erupted immediately!
When Lu Xing had taken down about ten thugs,
Wei Qingyu's family bodyguards arrived to take her away and clean up the scene.
Unexpectedly, today,
Lu Xing received notice that Wei Qingyu's father wanted to terminate their deal.
Damn capitalist!
Actually optimizing him out?
Sooner or later, he'll hang him from a lamppost!
But complaints aside,
The termination of the contract didn't affect Lu Xing much.
Wei Qingyu wasn't his only client.
And Old Wei's compensation was very generous.
He'd made a profit!
Lu Xing finished counting the money and packed it neatly into the travel bag.
Truth be told,
A million in cash weighs about fifty pounds, quite heavy.
Looking at the neatly stacked red bills,
Lu Xing tried to smile but winced as it pulled at his injured lip, making him hiss in pain.
One versus twelve, it would be strange not to get injured at all.
The Butler, disliking Lu Xing's money-obsessed appearance, said irritably:
"Finished counting? Make sure not a single note is missing."
Lu Xing zipped up the bag, not angry at all, and said with a smile:
"This isn't just money."
"It's an iron that can smooth out the wrinkles in life."
The Butler was stunned.
"You're quite the philosopher!"
Carrying the generous compensation, Lu Xing said in a good mood:
"Thank the generous Old Wei for me!"
"I'm off."
The Butler looked at Lu Xing's injured lip and bandaged hand with mixed feelings.
He really thought this kid had fallen into the money pit!
Was he really that desperate for money?!
Watching Lu Xing's departing figure, the Butler remembered Old Wei's instructions and asked one last question:
"Did you ever like Miss Wei Qingyu?"
Lu Xing opened the private room door, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said emotionally:
"Of course I like her."
"I like all my clients, they're all my gods of wealth!"
"Bye-bye! Butler!"
"If you have this kind of business again, come find me! I'll give you a discount!"
Bang!
The private room door closed.
The Butler stood there stunned for a long while.
After a long time,
The Butler shook his head helplessly; he had never met someone like Lu Xing before.
Probably the boss hadn't either.
No wonder the boss wasn't worried about this brat developing feelings for Miss Wei Qingyu over time.
However......
"So young, yet having to earn money this way."
"All actions are given a price tag, and he's not allowed to have his own feelings."
If it weren't for Lu Xing's personality,
He would have broken down long ago, right?
The boss never let Wei Qingyu know about this arrangement.
So Wei Qingyu probably found this clingy person very annoying.
Add to that the herd mentality of school kids.
Once Lu Xing was labeled a bootlicker, he naturally became the target of everyone's ostracism.
After all,
Only when everyone ostracizes one person does it make them feel like a group!
Thinking of Lu Xing's always smiling face, the Butler muttered:
"You must have had a hard time at school, right?"
......
"OK! Cross off this client!"
Lu Xing found a bank to deposit the money.
After depositing the money, he carried two containers of cooking oil and a shopping card, with the bank manager seeing him off.
Lu Xing sat down on a bench and skillfully pulled out a small notebook from his pocket.
On it was a row of names.
He mercilessly crossed out the three characters "Wei Qingyu" and wrote [Account Settled] next to it.
"As expected of a young lady, she's worth good money!"
After doing all this, Lu Xing squinted his eyes and recalled his schedule.
"Monday to Friday daytime at school as Wei Qingyu's security, evenings acting as a son for aunties playing house, Saturday and Sunday fighting with that psycho......"
"Keep it up, Little Sunflower!"
After reciting all this, Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh.
"So busy!"
If there were an award, he would truly be the master of time management!
However,
As he looked up, Lu Xing suddenly froze.
Not far away, under the shade of trees, a black Maybach was quietly parked.
In the driver's seat was a woman wearing an expensive white silk shirt, her black seaweed-like curly hair casually draped over her shoulders.
She wore gold-rimmed glasses, which diluted some of her bewitching charm and brought out a cold elegance.
At this moment,
Her slender white fingers impatiently tapped on the car window, while her eyes remained fixed on Lu Xing's face.
When she saw the wound on Lu Xing's lip, she noticeably frowned.
Lu Xing glanced at her and immediately looked down at his calendar.
"Oh, it's Saturday."
Well then,
Time to fight with that psycho again.
Out of respect for his client, Lu Xing quickened his pace toward the car.
But someone was faster than him.
A female traffic officer appeared out of nowhere and quickly slapped a ticket on the car window!
The woman's calm and composed demeanor instantly shattered, her face filled with astonishment.
The corner of Lu Xing's mouth was harder to suppress than an AK.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
