Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 249: Chapter 248: Weak Lu Xiaobu? 【Extra release for Heavenly Dao’s Ruthless Birthday, Happy Birthday, Third Release】

Lu Xiaobu keenly noticed Lin Tianlei’s condition and immediately turned back to glare at the guys with blame.

These guys, actually, had realized it was Lin Tianlei and came to their senses.

Now being blamed by Lu Xiaobu, they felt even more embarrassed.

It seemed like they were too sensitive!

”No worries, no worries, they’re just messing around.” Lu Xiaobu quickly consoled the frightened Lin Tianlei: ”Come on, have a cigarette.”

”Oh!”

Lin Tianlei felt the gaze disappear and only then slowly recovered with some doubts and shock.

That gaze was truly terrifying!

After receiving the cigarette, he didn’t dare to linger and quickly went back to Lin’s parents to share his experience.

...

Time moved to mid-morning, and the guests began to arrive.

”Lide Construction Company’s Chairman, Boss Li is here.”

A few people entered through the gate, the leader looking like a successful entrepreneur, resembling a big boss.

”Oh, welcome, welcome.”

Lu Hongbin personally welcomed them at the door, these were some of his acquaintances from the business world.

”Please, please, congratulations, congratulations!”

Boss Li glanced discreetly at Lu Xiaobu, who was distributing candies nearby, quickly bowed down, and shook hands with Lu Hongbin, presenting the prepared gift: ”Just a small token, please don’t take it too seriously!”

A pair of jade lions, worth one million two hundred thousand.

Actually, if it were just a regular business associate’s wedding, a gift worth tens of thousands to a hundred thousand would be extremely generous!

But others might suffice, not the Lu family, because they have Lu Xiaobu!

”Please come in, come in!”

Lu Hongbin hurriedly ushered the people inside.

Boss Li, with a smile on his face, walked inside, slightly bending towards Lu Xiaobu as he approached to show respect!

But he did not dare to greet him.

Because, he didn’t even qualify to greet him.

He knew clearly, this was only because it’s Lu Hongbin’s wedding, if it were Lu Xiaobu’s wedding...

He wouldn’t even dream of greeting, haha, he wouldn’t even qualify to enter!

Boss Li was like a beginning.

A large group of big shots, in the eyes of ordinary people, all came.

”General Manager Zhang from Wuzhou Mining Company.”

”Director Qian from Shimen City Tiannan Branch.”

”Chairman Jiang from Emperor Company.”

”...”

Like Boss Li, they too brought valuable gifts, arriving humbly and respectfully, not daring to act pretentiously!

Not only that, they even felt a bit of pride—they were people who could enter the Lu family’s home!

Moreover, they also slightly bowed to Lu Xiaobu, showing respect, careful not to disturb!

Even occasionally, when Lu Xiaobu turned back and smiled at one of them, they were so excited they almost jumped up!

That’s just the reality, although Lu Family still treated everyone kindly, their status was no longer the old Lu family!

The current Lu family was undoubtedly the foremost prominent family in Shimen!

And all of this was built by Lu Xiaobu, who was happily distributing cigarettes and candies, even playing games with the children!

...

Lin’s parents stood by and watched this scene, hearing Lin Tianlei introduce these important figures one by one, and their worries deepened.

”No, we must act.”

Lin’s father looked at Lu Hongbin’s high-ranking friends, then at their own ordinary, even rather unimpressive guests, feeling displeased inside.

”That’s right, we must act.”

Lin’s mother also bit her lip.

She even saw that the guests from her side were already scared to speak, cowering like quails.

Probably if any big shot from the other side coughed, this group of quails would run away!

So!

Lin’s father took a sip of alcohol, spurred by the liquid courage, and said to Lu Xiaobu: ”Well, Xiaobu! We’ve been here for quite some time, why don’t you spend some time with us?!”

His tone was much stronger than Lin Tianlei’s before.

With alcohol boosting his courage, for the sake of his daughter, he was going all out!

”Uh?”

This time, even Lu Xiaobu frowned.

What is this about?

From previous interactions, these two didn’t seem like the types to lose their composure!

But now, he couldn’t be bothered to find the reason behind it.

So, he put on a smile again: ”Alright! Since my elder brother is busy, let me accompany uncle for a few drinks.”

One has to say, Lin Tianlei did have some clever tricks up his sleeve.

The idea he came up with indeed took immediate effect!

The guests from the bride’s side, who were originally timid as quails, straightened their backs when they saw the imposing manner of Lin’s father!

It seems that the Lin Family isn’t that weak after all!

”Huh!”

Seeing this scene, Lin’s father let out a breath, feeling both happy and guilty!

Better to apologize after it all ends!

Seeing Lin’s father succeeding, Lin’s mother also gained confidence: ”Xiaobu! Why haven’t you served us some sunflower seeds yet?”

Xiaobu’s brows furrowed again—What’s happening? Are they getting worked up?!

Is this an attempt to stir up trouble?!

One after another!

But.

Xiaobu still chose to endure!

”Huh!”

He let out a long breath, suppressed his impatience, and squeezed out a smile: ”Alright, I’ll get them now.”

He kept convincing himself—It’s my elder brother’s wedding, my elder brother’s wedding, everything’s fine, everything’s fine!

Yes, the guests from the bride’s family held their heads even higher—they are quite important indeed!

However.

Xiaobu endured, but Zhang Meng and the others found it a bit hard to contain themselves!

What now?

Taking an inch and asking for a mile?!

Treating Young Master Bu as a servant?!

Whom has Young Master Bu ever served?!

Even Lu Hongbin and Lu Wenhuo haven’t been served by him, and you start calling the shots!

Remember, this is still in Shimen, Young Master’s territory!

This is outrageous!

”Li Jin, go join everyone for a drink.”

Zhang Meng said sternly.

”Yes.”

Li Jin also looked displeased, but he managed to be smoother than Zhang Meng, rubbed his face, and squeezed out a smile.

Then he took the wine glass and went over.

Liang Lan also wore a somber face as she took the plate from Xiaobu’s hands: ”Young Master, let me do it!”

Although they were all suffocating with frustration and feeling utterly aggrieved, they forcefully held it back.

Can’t cause trouble for Young Master!

And Lin’s parents were completely oblivious to this scene.

Both were feeling guilty and happy.

”Tianlei’s method really works!” said Lin’s father.

”Yes, thank goodness for Lu Xiaobu being relatively ordinary in the Lu Family, otherwise, we wouldn’t have found anyone to rely on,” Lin’s mother said with a relieved expression.

Up till now, they both still thought that Lu Xiaobu was the weakest one in the family!

They felt they picked the right soft persimmon to squeeze!

However, only Lin Tianlei, sitting at the banquet table, felt somewhat trembling.

Others didn’t notice, but he clearly felt that something was off with the atmosphere!

Just now, he saw those fourteen gazes gradually reemerging!

And at that moment.

The highlight of the entire wedding!

Truly targeting Lu Xiaobu...

The weakest, in the eyes of Lin’s parents, Lu Xiaobu...

The guests are arriving!

These were the real big shots!

The kinds who could make the ground tremble with a single stomp!

Nothing compared to the ones before!
