Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 531: Chapter 529: Long-Awaited Spicy Strips【1st Update】

Guess what Lu Xiaobu saw?

It was spicy strips!

Lu Xiaobu hadn’t seen them in a while, and he thought they didn’t exist in this world!

Turns out, they do!

It seems that no matter whether on Earth or here, the power of snack lovers is irresistible!

Can’t take it anymore!

He was fine not seeing them, but now that he has, Lu Xiaobu can hardly hold back his drool!

His salivary glands are crazily secreting saliva!

So, Lu Xiaobu lifted his leg and walked towards the little store.

”Wait a moment.”

Lu Xiaobu suddenly stopped, looked down at his suit and leather shoes, then glanced at the few people behind him, his eyes flickering: ”Let’s go change into casual clothes first!”

He couldn’t appear here in this attire.

Otherwise, the moment he buys spicy strips, it would certainly cause a mess around, which would feel quite awkward.

He quickly changed into a pair of big shorts and a T-shirt, and then messed up his ten-thousand-dollar hairstyle.

”Okay, you guys wait for me from a distance.”

After Lu Xiaobu took a look in the mirror, feeling the difference, he told Su Luoxue and Zhang Meng.

Liang Lan was still busy preparing for the competition.

”Yes, Young Master.”

Zhang Meng nodded.

”Then, Xiaobu, we’ll go have some fun.”

Little Pepper couldn’t sit still. Seeing Lu Xiaobu about to hoard snacks by himself, she dragged Wu Qianmin and Su Luoxue to go shopping.

”Go ahead.”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: ”Li Jin, follow them.”

”Yes, Young Master!”

Li Jin nodded and followed the three women.

Only then did Lu Xiaobu stretch languidly, excitedly walking towards the stall.

”What would you like to buy?”

The stall owner—Lu Ronghua, sitting in his chair didn’t get up, casually asked.

”How much are the spicy strips?”

Lu Xiaobu pointed at the colorful spicy strips and asked.

”One yuan per pack.”

”Alright, give me five packs.”

”Just grab them yourself.”

”Sure thing.”

Lu Xiaobu picked five packs of spicy strips, then directly tore open one pack and began to eat.

While eating, he started patting his pockets.

Looking for money.

And then, awkwardness ensued.

He didn’t have any money on him.

”What’s the matter? No money? Came to eat for free?”

Lu Ronghua noticed Lu Xiaobu’s awkwardness, jumped up from his seat, and said with furrowed brows and glaring eyes.

The tone was particularly harsh, filled with an indescribable sense of rejection.

Lu Ronghua’s attitude made Lu Xiaobu frown.

Was it necessary?

It’s just a few bucks!

But, indeed, he had no money, so he didn’t feel like saying much.

He simply said, ”I’ll call my people to bring the money over, don’t worry, you won’t be shortchanged.”

Lu Xiaobu took out his phone and called Liang Lan.

It was his habitual move, although the others also had money, he still instinctively called Liang Lan first.

Seeing Lu Xiaobu making a phone call, Lu Ronghua’s gaze didn’t relax at all. He stared intently at Lu Xiaobu as if he were watching a thief!

Moreover, he directly took the other four packets of spicy strips Lu Xiaobu had picked up from the table and put them inside the counter.

Obviously, he didn’t trust Lu Xiaobu at all.

Lu Ronghua’s gaze really annoyed Lu Xiaobu!

He had never seen such a money-grubbing person!

It’s just one yuan, and he acts as if his life depends on it!

So, he slammed his phone on the counter: ”You won’t be short of your money, my phone, a Shadow brand, you know how much it’s worth. Give me those spicy strips!”

Although the owner was annoying, you still have to eat happily!

As soon as Lu Ronghua saw the phone, his eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the phone and pocketed it.

Then he took out the four packets of spicy strips he had just put away.

He took his phone but only four packets, truly a stereotype of a greedy miser.

Lu Xiaobu saw the owner pocket his phone and frowned again.

Forget it, I’ll switch to a new phone when I get back, I don’t want this one anymore.

With that, the matter came to a close. Lu Xiaobu, who is usually not pretentious, simply sat on the doorstep and started eating the spicy strips.

The spicy and delicious flavor that made one’s mouth water entered his mouth and lifted his spirits.

Hmm, tastes good!

Lu Xiaobu devoured a packet of spicy strips in just a few bites, then picked up another packet and opened it. This one, to be precise, was called spicy slices.

As Lu Xiaobu was eating, the owner suddenly said to him: ”Kid, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like someone?”

”Who?”

Lu Xiaobu replied casually while eating and catching his breath.

”It’s that notorious prodigal son, Lu Xiaobu! Don’t you know him?!”

When Lu Ronghua mentioned the name Lu Xiaobu, his eyes were filled with envy: ”Lu Xiaobu’s life is really good, born a rich second generation, and the more he spends, the more money he has. I wish I could be like him one day!”

”You? No way!”

Lu Xiaobu chuckled and directly dismissed him.

A guy who cares so much about a single yuan wanting to be like him?!

”You! You really don’t know how to make conversation!”

Lu Ronghua was a bit angered by Lu Xiaobu’s retort but still suppressed his temper and said: ”I really think you look more and more like Lu Xiaobu.”

”Maybe I really am Lu Xiaobu.” Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

”You? No, definitely not!”

Lu Ronghua rolled his eyes and responded: ”A person who doesn’t carry any money on him, Lu Xiaobu? Is he the kind of person who goes out without money?!”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes—I actually don’t carry money!

Lu Ronghua continued with envy: ”Besides, when does Lu Xiaobu go out without several people following him? And look at you.”

”Enough, don’t talk about that. The clothes you’re wearing could probably last you decades, maybe even a lifetime!”

”And to put it another way, I heard just the other day, a haircut for him costs ten thousand yuan. Can you save ten thousand yuan in a year?”

”Let me tell you, if I saw Lu Xiaobu, I’d go up to him and cling to his leg straight away, and wouldn’t let go without getting ten thousand yuan!”

Lu Ronghua was like opening a chatterbox; he just couldn’t stop.

He really was spitting while talking!

Listening to this, Lu Xiaobu felt awkward.

This person really had no respect, thinking money was everything.

Rest assured, I wouldn’t give you money even if I threw it into the water!

Suddenly, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes flickered: ”If Lu Xiaobu told you to call him dad, would you do it?!”

”Sure, why not, as long as there’s money involved.” Lu Ronghua rolled his eyes: ”Who could refuse money! Don’t think so highly of yourself!”

Listening to this, Lu Xiaobu felt a bit disgusted!

He gave money to others for joy, giving it to such people would only disgust him!

Forget calling him dad, I wouldn’t even give you money if you called me grandpa!

”The topic has completely gone off track.” Lu Ronghua suddenly gestured with his hand, then whispered: ”I have a money-making business proposition, are you interested?!”

”A money-making business?”

Lu Xiaobu frowned, sensing that there was definitely something tricky about the offer.

”That’s right, and it’s a big money-making business!”

Lu Ronghua’s eyes turned even more mysterious, continuously sizing up Lu Xiaobu as if plotting something!
