Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1283: Enlist?

The children walked out one by one, the wealthy man’s face could only be described as extremely difficult to look at.

But, even so, he had to muster a smile on his unsightly big face.

”Young Master Bu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going then.” The wealthy man said with a painful expression.

”Alright, go ahead.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, then pulled out a bank card: ”This is the medical fees I’m offering. Make sure the child is taken care of, so no aftereffects linger. These little rascals didn’t hold back, I can’t let the children be disheartened, so consider this my apology to them.”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t pursue the matter further.

As said before, their original intention was just to scare the kid, not to actually act.

Now that the children resolved it themselves, that’s fine too.

If they intervened again, it’d seem unreasonable!

”Hey!” The wealthy man’s expression turned better as he took the bank card.

Neither party mentioned how much money was inside.

The amount wasn’t important, what mattered was the gesture.

Honestly, so what if Lu Xiaobu didn’t offer him money? What could he do to Lu Xiaobu?

Yet, Lu Xiaobu still offered it, and even apologized sincerely, this gesture was huge!

So, the wealthy man who initially looked grim had a complete change to a friendly smile as he left the teacher’s office.

He even voluntarily set the door he’d kicked aside right, saying: ”Teacher, I’ll arrange for someone to fix it later.”

Such a good attitude! It surprised the teachers who couldn’t believe this was the same menacing, nearly murderous wealthy man from before.

But that’s the truth.

Only now did the teachers, who were slow on the uptake, begin to ponder the fundamental question.

Young Master Bu? Ten Thousand Iron Cavalry? Lu family’s Princess?!

Who exactly was this Lu Chenxi’s parent...

Suddenly, a flash of insight hit her: ”Lu Xiaobu?!”

”Ah.” Lu Xiaobu was speechless, was this teacher that cluelessly cute?!

His name was already mentioned by the wealthy man!

And yet this teacher only realized it now!

”I didn’t recognize him.” The teacher chuckled bitterly, shaking her head, but chose not to elaborate further.

Lu Xiaobu’s status was high but she’d met parents of higher status students before, she wasn’t concerned anymore.

”Alright, where’s Chenxi?” Lu Xiaobu asked, not having seen Chenxi, the little girl.

”She...” The teacher’s mouth twitched: ”She’s in the principal’s office.”

”How did she end up in the principal’s office?” The three brothers were puzzled.

”Well, how to put it... When Lu Chenxi found out I called away the children who were fighting, she dashed straight to the principal’s office!” The teacher chuckled bitterly.

She didn’t fully understand why Lu Chenxi wanted to go to the principal’s office before.

But now, she understood.

Lu Chenxi definitely went to demand an explanation from the principal!

The Lu family all had the same trait - overprotective to the extreme!

Now the three brothers understood, exchanged glances, shrugged, and laughed.

”Alright, let’s go.” The three brothers whispered among themselves, realizing it wasn’t necessary to call Chenxi out to meet them, so they decided to leave.

The teacher did not try to stop them.

...

Leaving the school.

”Since we’re out, what do you say? Shall we go have a few drinks, the three of us?” Lu Hongbin suggested.

”Sure.” Lu Xiaobu nodded: ”We haven’t had drinks together for a long time, this is perfect!”

Only Lu Wenhuo was somewhat reluctant.

Because he knew that with the three of them together, the topic would inevitably revolve around him.

After all, the eldest brother is married, Xiaobu isn’t short of girlfriends, and the family has completely different standards for him, so not talking about him would be strange!

However, he clearly didn’t have a choice.

The three didn’t bring anyone along, not even Zhang Meng.

Of course, they didn’t go to a grand hotel, but found a hidden cornered small place.

They bought two bottles from outside and ordered seven or eight known dishes inside, then started drinking.

”In the blink of an eye, it’s been years since Xiaobu got better.” Lu Hongbin remarked with nostalgia.

”Yeah, we used to worry every day that this little rascal might disappear any day, but he keeps getting better each day.” Lu Wenhuo laughed heartily, rubbing Lu Xiaobu’s head as he did.

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes but didn’t resist.

This is his second brother, he wouldn’t mind if Lu Wenhuo rubbed his head; if Lu Wenhuo was seriously annoyed, he’d still tolerate being kicked or slapped!

In the Lu family, elder brother as father is a real concept.

Of course, if Lu Wenhuo dared to lay hands, Lu Hongbin would retaliate with a slap to Lu Wenhuo.

But it’s all just talk, Lu Wenhuo wouldn’t actually hurt him.

”Don’t just talk about me, big brother, look at second brother, it’s been so long and still not married?” Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes, shifting the conversation to Lu Wenhuo.

”Right, that’s an issue. Lu Wenhuo, give us a clear timeline, when are you getting married?” Lu Hongbin drank two cups, slightly tipsy.

”This... that...” Lu Wenhuo fumbled for a response but couldn’t say anything worthwhile.

”What’s the matter? Did they refuse, or you aren’t willing, or does the other side have conditions? Speak up!” Lu Hongbin pressed directly.

”Very complicated.” Lu Wenhuo lifted his cup, sighed, and took a sip: ”I agreed, she wants it too, but her family’s side...”

”The family doesn’t agree?” Lu Hongbin frowned.

Frankly speaking, the descendants of the Lu family never face such statements of inadequacy.

”It’s not really disagreement, how to say? Their patriarch insists I join the military to agree to our relationship.” Lu Wenhuo smiled bitterly.

Uncertain where this military passion came from, their grandfather would only allow his granddaughter to marry a person in the military!

Without serving, no agreement!

You all know what kind of person Lu Wenhuo is, asking him to pursue a doctorate is no problem.

But serve in the military? He’s not the type!

”That is indeed a challenge.” With this condition set, Lu Hongbin felt troubled.

They agree, and the request is simple, just join the military, you tell me if this isn’t a predicament.

”Xiaobu, help your second brother with this matter.” Lu Hongbin instructed.

”Alright, I’ll check it out, see what’s happening.” Lu Xiaobu agreed readily.
