Chapter 3: Chapter 3 I am not Sister Li
The God of War, Long Aotian, really wanted to make his move.
This was his chance to show his strength!
But that damn Lu Chengwen, how could he… how could he not play along with him?
He was pulling and pushing, single-handedly holding back a dozen of his men, sweating profusely, was it really necessary?
Just let them come at me, please!
I crave this wave of experience points!
I can't properly end this without getting some!
Lu Chengwen had also made up his mind.
[I absolutely can't let you gain experience points! No way, not today!]
[From now on, you are the heavens, you are God, whatever you say goes, I won't argue with you.]
[Take Leng Qingqiu if you can, if you can't, it's your damn fault, just don't drag me into it!]
Long Aotian was going crazy.
"Um… Young Master Lu, are you… unhappy with me?"
Lu Chengwen, having finally managed to appease the crowd, spread his arms, blocking the group of security guards:
"No, no! I'm very happy, I'm ecstatic! I think you and Qingqiu are a perfect match, send me an invitation when you get married, and I'll be sure to give you a generous gift!"
Long Aotian's body, brimming with pent-up energy, paced around anxiously:
"How about… you let them come at me? After all, they have your back."
"No, no, don't worry, with me here, none of them will get past!"
Lu Chengwen turned and yelled at the security guards, "Whoever moves, I'll kill them!"
Leng Qingqiu also realized that Lu Chengwen seemed to be able to predict some future events.
And the whole situation felt completely different now.
It seemed now that Lu Chengwen wanted nothing more than to smooth things over, while Long Aotian was the one who wanted to stir up trouble, determined to make a big scene.
Leng Qingqiu had seen through Long Aotian's facade, and said angrily, "Long Aotian, enough! Get out! Get out right now! Or I'll call the police!"
Long Aotian's face turned livid.
I am the returning God of War, no one in the entire Outer Frontier dared to humiliate me like this.
To think that I would be subjected to such humiliation today!
"Fine! I'll leave. But Qingqiu, please believe me, in the future, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what danger you face, I will come to your rescue, even if it means facing the whole world!"
Leng Qingqiu, suppressing her disgust, pointed at the exit. "Get out."
Long Aotian had nothing more to say.
His face was dark with anger, and he turned to glare at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He said carefully, "It's not my fault, I…I don't understand either, you… you must be feeling pretty frustrated, huh?"
Long Aotian snorted and stormed off with a sullen face.
Lu Chengwen almost threw up in the bathroom.
After the previous few transmigrations, he had summarized the three iron laws of survival for villains.
First, never try to compete with or argue with the protagonist, that was the fastest way to die.
What kind of person was the protagonist? Would he tolerate your arrogance? He already wants to get rid of you even if you don't provoke him, if you do provoke him… he will kill you.
Second, never touch the protagonist's woman, stay as far away from them as possible. Those brain-dead women are all toxic, when the protagonist kills you, they will only clap their hands and praise the protagonist for his heroism, throwing themselves into his arms.
Third, never do anything evil.
If the protagonist sees you doing evil, hehe, you've won the prize. You will become the protagonist's experience pack, contributing a little bit of your strength to his grand plan of showing off.
Ding Dong!
System notification:
"Congratulations! Congratulations to the host for completing the initial survival test phase, difficulty rating one star, we have prepared a first-stage reward for the host!"
Lu Chengwen: "What reward?"
"A sports car, dear!"
Lu Chengwen's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? I am the eldest son of the Lu family, the head of the four great families of Xuecheng, and the wealthy head of the Lu Feng Group! I just escaped death at the hands of that beast, Long Aotian, and you reward me with a luxury car?"
"Don't get excited, host, this sports car is no ordinary car!"
"What's so special about it?!" Lu Chengwen shouted.
"This sports car has four whole wheels, dear!"
"You…"
Lu Chengwen suppressed his anger. "What's going on with that Leng Qingqiu? According to the plot, shouldn't she have left with the God of War? What's going on now?"
"We don't have any information on Qingqiu's situation at the moment, if you want to know more, please talk to her proactively, host."
"Talk to her my ass! The look Long Aotian gave me just now was murderous!" Lu Chengwen was going crazy.
After venting his anger, Lu Chengwen chickened out again. "Please think of a way to get them together quickly. If this goes on, I will be played to death by you guys sooner or later!"
"Please don't worry, host, the feedback we've received is that we do want to play you to death, dear!"
"Damn, you——!"
...
In Lu Guanghong's study.
Lu Guanghong said with a stern face, "Sit."
Lu Chengwen sat down cautiously.
"Explain yourself, what's going on, what kind of trouble are you brewing up this time?"
"Nothing," Lu Chengwen said, confused.
"Hmph! Do you think you can fool me? Do you think I don't know what you're like?" Lu Guanghong said sternly. "Let me tell you this! You better behave yourself and treat Qingqiu well, or I won't let you off easy."
Lu Chengwen said, "She won't marry me, everyone in Xuecheng knows how much she loathes me."
"Then why did she suddenly do a 180 today and agree to the marriage?"
"I don't know! I'm just as baffled as you are!"
"Then why did you suddenly become arrogant and refuse the marriage?"
"I… my heart yearns for true love!"
Lu Guanghong narrowed his eyes. "You are becoming more and more shameless."
Lu Chengwen was so depressed that he didn't even bother to speak.
"Take a gift with you, you're going to visit your godfather later."
Lu Chengwen was taken aback. "My godfather?"
Oh, right.
The basic setting of this book:
Xuecheng has four great families: Lu, Chen, Xu, and Leng.
The Lu family is the most powerful, followed by the Chen and Xu families, while the Leng family, due to poor management in recent years, almost went bankrupt.
Fortunately, Leng Qingqiu took over the reins in times of adversity and worked hard for two years to turn the business around, stabilizing the Leng family and preventing them from going bankrupt.
Therefore, the Leng family was very keen on this marriage.
It wasn't that they didn't know about Lu Chengwen's character, but the only family in Xuecheng that was capable and willing to save them was the Lu family.
So, for the sake of the family's interests, they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
In their hearts, they looked down on Lu Chengwen.
This was the frustrating part of this book.
He, the villain, had an almost perfect persona: tall and handsome, from a wealthy and influential family, successful at a young age, talented, leading the Lu Feng Group through trials and tribulations, and dominating the business world.
But such a man, who stood at the top of the food chain in the real world, was reduced to being a simp for the female protagonist, Leng Qingqiu.
All of this was to make it more satisfying when the protagonist stepped all over him.
The more outstanding the villain, the more satisfying it is for the protagonist to defeat them!
Leng Qingqiu, relying on his powerful background, would try to one-up the protagonist, only to be humiliated and defeated by the protagonist's wit and cunning, and finally be eliminated…
This was his, the perfect minor villain's, destiny.
If he wanted to survive, he had to avoid all conflict with the protagonist.
The most important conflict was his relationship with Leng Qingqiu.
He had to stay far away from Leng Qingqiu, as far away as possible.
As long as he made it through the finale, he could return to reality with generous rewards, become rich and handsome, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!
He could also cure his mother's illness.
The Lu family had been in Xuecheng for a long time and had a good relationship with the Chen, Xu, and Leng families.
Especially with Old Master Chen, Lu Guanghong even considered him his sworn father, making him his godfather.
Recently, his godfather, Chen Qiushou, had been bedridden. Everyone in the Lu family had visited him, except for him, who was busy fooling around and hadn't shown his face yet.
Drop off the gift, say hello, and then get out of there!
Yes! That's settled!
As soon as he went out, he saw the burly man he had pinned down at the engagement party gathering some men.
The burly man, Zhao Gang, was fuming. "Is everyone here?"
More than thirty bodyguards stood in rows and shouted, "Yes, sir!"
"Good!"
Zhao Gang, still fuming with anger, said with a dark expression, "Young Master Lu's engagement ceremony was ruined by that guy named Long Aotian! Can we just let this go?"
The crowd shouted, "No!"
"That's right! Young Master Lu is our boss, in Xuecheng, he's always been the one who takes what he wants, no one can bully Young Master Lu!"
The crowd raised their fists and shouted, "Take what we want! Do as we please! Take what you want! Do as we please!"
Zhao Gang extended his hand elegantly, and everyone instantly fell silent, perfectly synchronized.
"Therefore! We will find Long Aotian, beat him to a pulp, and get Young Master Lu's revenge!"
"Find Long Aotian! Beat him to a pulp! Take what you want! Do as we please! Take what you want! Do as we please!..."
Lu Chengwen hurried over and pulled Zhao Gang aside. "What are you doing?"
"Oh! Young Master Lu, you're here!" Zhao Gang said excitedly. "Young Master Lu, I have nine ways to deal with that Long Aotian, nine! Just wait and see!"
Lu Chengwen kicked him in the butt. "Don't you have anything better to do?"
Lu Chengwen looked at the thirty or so well-built men. "From now on, don't shout about taking what we want so loudly, do I look like someone who doesn't care about my reputation?"
Zhao Gang was confused and scratched his head. "Young Master Lu, you've always been… well, not exactly subtle about it!"
Lu Chengwen shivered with anger. "Can't I want to be subtle now?"
"Oh!" Zhao Gang said in a clear voice, "Did you all hear that? Now our Young Master Lu wants to have his cake and eat it too! Let's make it happen!"
The crowd raised their fists and shouted, "Have our cake and eat it too! Have our cake and eat it too!"
Lu Chengwen roared, "Get out! All of you, get out of my sight!"
One of the guys walked away while muttering under his breath, still raising his fist, "Have our cake… and eat it too…"
Lu Chengwen was about to chase after him and kick him. "You little brat, don't you walk away, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Zhao Gang stopped him. "Hey, hey, hey, Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, they're just following your instructions! It's a habit now."
Lu Chengwen panted, "You trained them to do that?"
"Yeah, don't worry, I understand what you mean, that good-for-nothing Long Aotian, I'm gonna..."
Lu Chengwen stopped him. "Zhao Gang…"
"Yes, Young Master Lu?"
"We're brothers, right?"
Lu Chengwen spoke sincerely.
He had no choice, he realized that this brute was too reckless.
And stubborn as an ox, unable to take a hint, he wouldn't understand anything else he said.
The point was, if he let this continue, it would all come back to him, and Long Aotian would still come after him in the end.
So, he had no choice but to coax and deceive him.
Zhao Gang was so moved that he almost cried. "Young Master Lu, I'm not worthy, I'm just a…"
Lu Chengwen said, "As my brother, promise me you won't try to avenge me! Be good, don't provoke that Long Aotian in the future, tell everyone to avoid him at all costs. Got it?"
"Why?"
Zhao Gang said, "I don't understand."
