Urban All-Round Master

46: Chapter 46: The Great Swindler 46: Chapter 46: The Great Swindler “You’ve met a scammer.”

At that moment, Lin Zifeng walked up from behind the little girl, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Seeing the sumptuous dinner laid out on the table, Lin Zifeng grinned and exclaimed, “Wow!

What a feast today!

I’ve got to try this.”

As he spoke these words, Lin Zifeng nearly ignored Nangong Bing’s captivating gaze.

In Nangong Bing’s heart, not only was this guy shameless, but he was also eating my food, drinking my drinks, living in my house—all without any sense of self-awareness.

She wondered where this odd fellow popped up from, appalled that her father could even say that this was the son of a family whom ours had once saved.

Lin Zifeng indeed acted as Nangong Bing had imagined, picking up a bowl and started eating heartily without any hesitation, as if he was in his own home.

“Annoying guy, a bodyguard even has the nerve to join the master at the dining table!”

Little girl Hua Buqi glared at him fiercely.

“Hehe, I couldn’t help it.

Who asked your cousin to be so nice?

I wasn’t supposed to join you for dinner, but she insisted on the road that I eat with you.

Isn’t that right?”

Lin Zifeng, with his mouth greasy, smiled at Nangong Bing.

Nangong Bing stared at him with fierce eyes, looking at his face which seemed to beg for a slap.

In her heart, she seethed, “You vile scoundrel!

Who asked you to join the dining table?

It was obviously you who insisted on joining, and even dragged me into your excuse.

If I weren’t worried about your loose lips letting out secrets, I would have driven you away long ago.

You eat my food, stay at my place.

Not just that, every day I have to put up with your nonsense.”

“Cousin, is what he said true?”

The little girl’s cheeks were flushed, her face unclear of what she had consumed.

“This…this.”

Nangong Bing was at a loss for words.

“It isn’t true?”

Lin Zifeng squinted and smiled, the implication clear: if you don’t admit it, I’ll reveal the little scandal between us right now.

“No choice, he looked so pitiful.

If I didn’t look after him a bit, he might have starved to death on the streets.”

Nangong Bing coughed dryly and said begrudgingly, turning her statement around, “It’s just that I’m too soft-hearted.”

“Boss, you really are a good person,” Lin Zifeng timely added, which noticeably improved Nangong Bing’s expression.

“By the way, where is Master Wang?

Why hasn’t he come for dinner yet?”

The little girl was about to get up.

“He left.”

“Left?

What happened?”

Hua Buqi frowned slightly, “You didn’t drive him away, did you?”

“How could I have that much capability?

He left on his own, I couldn’t even stop him.

Who knows, maybe he went back to Emei to continue his cultivation.

Anyway, those old nuns on Emei Mountain probably are lonely and cold at night too.”

“Hmph!

Definitely, you drove him away.

If it weren’t for you, why would he have left?”

The little girl pouted, hands on hips, her chest heaving with two jade-like treasures swaying continuously.

Lin Zifeng, while enjoying the food, watched the Heavenly Silkworm seeds on Hua Buqi’s chest—truly a feast for the eyes!

Not only was there delicious food, but also a feast for the eyes!

Dining with two enchantingly beautiful women, how many men dream of this?

Yet now, it ironically happened to Lin Zifeng, simply too wonderful.

Lin Zifeng glanced momentarily, gradually letting his gaze drift below the little girl, instantly drawing a tirade from Hua Buqi.

Recalling the incident this morning, Hua Buqi still hadn’t vented all her anger.

With great difficulty, they had invited a transcendent master, yet the guy had ended up scaring him away; it seemed her deep-seated vengeance would remain unavenged.

Seeing that she couldn’t get the better of Lin Zifeng, the young girl simply took out her cell phone and started reading the latest popular online urban novel.

The three of them ate their own food, none paying any mind to the others.

However, shortly later, the young girl couldn’t help but let out a laugh reminiscent of silver bells.

“Huahua, what are you reading that has you so engrossed?”

Nangong Bing said with a smile.

“Hehe, cousin, I’m reading a novel.

I just came across a really funny part, so I couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.”

“What novel is so funny that it makes you laugh like that?

Is it that good?”

“This is a newly popular urban novel published on ‘Genesis Chinese Network.’ It just launched on QQ Bookstore a couple of days ago.

It’s not very long, but it is filled with joy.

The characters and plot are hilarious, especially since the author’s pen name is the same as mine!”

“What novel?

I’ll check it out tonight.”

“My 23-Year-Old Female CEO, by Hua Buqi.

I just read the latest chapter; it’s really good, but it’s a bit…” The young girl said somewhat embarrassedly, “a bit risqué.”

“Risqué?

You’re still young, how can you read such novels?”

Lin Zifeng put down his chopsticks with a serious expression.

“What does my reading have to do with you!”

“You’re reading this kind of novel?” Lin Zifeng widened his eyes, “But I like it.”

“Like it, my foot.” Hua Buqi stuck out her tongue at Lin Zifeng and retorted playfully, “It’s just updated too infrequently.

I just saw a comment from a netizen named ‘Meng Youjing’ saying it’s not satisfying enough.

I also feel it’s not satisfying enough.

Yet, writing a novel must be so tiring and tough.

The author needs to think of interesting plots every day and spend precious time writing.

It’s indeed not easy.

Plus, it doesn’t pay well; I think it’s only over a thousand a month.”

“Nonsense!

Authors make money from writing.

If they didn’t make money, why would they bother writing at all?” Lin Zifeng made a gesture with his middle finger, jokingly teasing his future cousin-in-law.

“I’m talking to my cousin; you stay out of this.” She hated it when unrelated people chimed in while she was speaking, as she found it very impolite.

“Writing isn’t always about money!

Maybe the author writes to entertain themselves and others.

Moreover, who makes money writing online novels these days?

As soon as you start charging for your novel, people stop reading, so how can you make any money?”

“That’s true, it is tough for online writers nowadays, but they really do have talent.”

For Nangong Bing, since the moment she was born, she never read any serialized novels.

Even when she was at Stanford in the United States, the most she read were world classics like Greek history, Diary of a Madman, and the Bible.

She read all the famous international classics, just not domestic novels.

Because she felt they lacked substance.

However, for Hua Buqi, having read many novels, she actually gained quite a bit of insight.

Urban novels, in particular, incorporated many plots that connected with reality, unlike those nauseating and headache-inducing world classics that didn’t broaden one’s understanding at all and were merely tedious.

“Today’s meal is so lavish, with chicken and duck.

Why don’t you eat more?

Boss, I really have to thank you for today’s work at the company.

If not for you solving that issue, I probably would have been fired by now.”

Speaking, in an attempt to improve relations, Lin Zifeng graciously picked up a large chicken leg with his chopsticks that he had just used.

Instantly, Nangong Bing felt delighted within.

Smilingly, he placed it in Nangong Bing’s bowl and said with a laugh, “Here, have a chicken leg!”

“Pff…!”

Hua Buqi almost spit out the rice she had just eaten.

She never expected Lin Zifeng to say something so disgusting in public!

Nangong Bing’s pale, pretty cheeks nearly turned an extreme shade of iron blue.

Eat a chicken leg!

He dared to say such a thing!
