The Bootlicking Antagonist Wants to Survive,but Female Lead refuse to-Chapter 371 Destiny Chu Bai’s turning point in life

Chapter 371 Destiny Chu Bai's turning point in life

Everyone was gone.

Lu Chengwen let out a breath. "Xuejiao, does it hurt? Did I hurt your neck when I choked you? Oh no, why is it so red?"

"Aiya, it has nothing to do with you. Long Aotian choked me when he came in. Your grip was much lighter than his."

Lu Chengwen's anger flared up instantly. "That bastard! He dared to choke my Xuejiao! I'm going to kill him!"

Xu Xuejiao sat on the sofa, crossing her long, white legs. "Go ahead, he's probably not far yet—you can still catch up."

Lu Chengwen grinned and swaggered back. "He gave us 10 billion. I think we can let this one slide."

Xu Xuejiao rolled her eyes and laughed. "How much more do I need to reach 50 billion?"

Lu Chengwen was stunned. "You're still planning to squeeze him?"

Xu Xuejiao calculated with her fingers. "Let me think... still short by 2 billion! Isn't 2 billion still money? That's enough to build a luxury residential complex!"

Lu Chengwen said, "Forget it, Xuejiao. I think my senior brother actually feels guilty inside."

"Guilty for what? Look at what he did to my neck! Asking for another 5 billion wouldn't be too much, would it? Besides, it's not even his money—it's Huo Wendong's!"

"You've already promised to build schools, donate to retirement homes, and even gifted the city government a park..."

"I gave away that much!?"

"Yeah! You're so generous, President Lu! They complimented you a few times, and you got carried away—waving your hand, donating this, giving away that. The only thing left to give away is your wife!"

Lu Chengwen said, "How much is all that going to cost?"

"Oh? Now you care about money?" Xu Xuejiao snorted.

Lu Chengwen started massaging her legs, squeezing and tapping. "My darling must be exhausted from acting today."

"The most important part of acting is to stir up your own emotions and fully immerse yourself in the role!"

"Yes, yes..."

"Especially for improvisation like this. The key is not just to summon emotions but to control them!"

"Yes, yes..."

"Your lines today were too stiff. They were dumbfounded by my performance. Otherwise, with your level of acting, you would've been exposed long ago!"

"My wife is the best..."

"Hmph!" Xu Xuejiao basked in her triumph.

Jiang Xiaohou was hiding in the shadows, frantically taking notes.

"Mm-hmm, makes sense... Control emotions... That's difficult..." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"How's Huaxuening?" Xu Xuejiao asked.

"She's fine. Nothing serious—just fell and got a little dazed. The blood was from a glass cut. Scared the hell out of me."

"She's okay?" Xu Xuejiao sat up straight. "You like her so much—don't let her get scarred!"

"Ugh, don't mention it. I wasted one of my Great Rejuvenation Pills."

Xu Xuejiao grabbed a cushion and smacked Lu Chengwen. "She jumped down from the seventeenth floor to save you, and you're worried about a stupid pill!?"

"That wasn't just any pill—it was a Great Rejuvenation Pill!"

"What pill could possibly be more precious than Huaxuening?"

"You're right, dear."

Xu Xuejiao enjoyed Lu Chengwen's obedient flattery.

"Hey! When are you going to take her down? She seems dumb but obedient. Let's train her together."

"Hey, don't mess around!"

"Hahaha, look how scared you are! Relax, I won't bully her! But with her by your side, I feel more at ease. You shouldn't leave her alone so often."

"I was... busy with you... How could I keep her around?"

"Let her stay and learn from me!"

Lu Chengwen's head spun. This little minx is getting out of hand.

"Alright, alright... About that money..."

"Hmph! Serve me well tonight, and I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Tonight!? Aren't you sore?"

"What did you give me to eat? I feel like I can fight another round!"

Lu Chengwen laughed. "Tomorrow, darling. The land isn't tired, but the ox needs to rest."

"Aiya..." Xu Xuejiao sighed. "My little treasures can finally come out to play."

Lu Chengwen looked at her and suddenly realized he had opened Pandora's box—and released something truly terrifying.

He suddenly remembered. "Hey? Where's Little Monkey?"

"No idea."

They searched the villa until they found her sprawled on a sofa in the third-floor lounge, arms and legs splayed out, snoring softly, with drool trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Little Monkey was actually awake. When she heard them searching, she quickly found a spot to pretend to be asleep.

Lu Chengwen chuckled. "This kid fell asleep here."

Xu Xuejiao said, "No blanket—she'll catch a cold. Carry her to bed."

"Mm."

Lu Chengwen gently placed Little Monkey on the bed and was about to leave.

"Hey! Aren't you going to change her into pajamas?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Big Sis, she might have the mind of a child, but her body is already fully grown! I can't get involved in that."

"She's taller than me—I can't do it alone!"

"Aiya, then just leave her. She's been a beggar before—this bed is heaven for her."

Xu Xuejiao looked at Little Monkey and giggled. "Little Monkey, Mommy and Daddy love you! Sleep tight. Once you're better, Mommy and Daddy will send you to school!"

Lu Chengwen stood at the door. "Alright, that's enough! Come out already! Look at how she sleeps—completely unladylike."

"She's been wandering for so many years, how pitiful! She'll be fine once she's taught properly!"

Lu Chengwen smiled, "I really didn't expect you to feel sorry for someone."

Xu Xuejiao sighed, "I'll find the best psychologist for her. I'm not good at psychology, but I know a lot of experts."

Lu Chengwen sighed, walked over, hugged Xu Xuejiao, and kissed her on the cheek. "Xuejiao, you're actually very kind-hearted."

Xu Xuejiao was surprised. "Of course! I only mess with Long Aotian and Huo Wendong! Otherwise, what? You think I'm full of evil ideas?"

"No, no."

"You totally think so!"

"Really, I don't—hey, stop arguing, you'll wake the child..."

Xu Xuejiao giggled, hugged Lu Chengwen, and looked at the sleeping little monkey.

"Looking at her, so beautiful, so cute, so lovable... I really feel like we're an old married couple already. So happy."

Lu Chengwen also smiled. "Alright, let her sleep. Let's go."

"Mm."

The two stepped out, turned off the lights, and gently closed the door.

Jiang Xiaohou instantly sat up with a rustle, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

Two idiots!

They really treated this palace lord like a child!

Jiang Xiaohou sneered coldly, turned, leaped onto the windowsill, glanced up at the moon, sneered again, and darted out.

...

Chu Bai was playing cards with two big brothers.

Chu Bai had a bruised and swollen face. He placed down a three. "Three."

Big Brother A played two threes. "Split!"

Chu Bai looked at him. "Split?"

Big Brother B played a pair. "Checkmate!"

Chu Bai looked at Big Brother B. "Wait—"

Big Brother A then played a straight. "All-in!"

Chu Bai stared at Big Brother A. "This is Fight the Landlord..."

Big Brother B threw down all his cards. "Hu!"

Chu Bai's eyes widened. Big Brother A sighed and said, "Ah, I was about to win."

Just then, the main door creaked open slightly.

A woman in a white robe, with disheveled hair, stood at the entrance, looking like a ghost.

Chu Bai had seen plenty of weird people in his life, but this person had an unmistakable air of madness.

Before he could react, the two big brothers saw Jiang Xiaohou and immediately moved—

Big Brother A punched Chu Bai over, Big Brother B pinned him to the ground, stepped on his neck, and shouted while hitting him, "Confess or not!? Confess or not!? Are you confessing!?"

Big Brother A rolled up his sleeves. "If we don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know that the Horse King has three eyes!"

Chu Bai cried out, "Confess what?! Ask me first! If you don't ask, how can I confess?!"

"Oh-ho!? Still daring to talk back!? Big brother, this kid is tough. We need to get serious!"

"Good! Today we'll show him our power!"

Jiang Xiaohou spoke coldly, "Bring him out."

The two immediately responded, "Yes."

In the living room, Chu Bai was nervous.

The surroundings were perfectly normal, except for the woman—she was extremely abnormal.

Jiang Xiaohou wore a flowing white robe, loose and wide, subtly revealing her toned, slender, and strikingly impressive figure.

She leaned on a long blade, her hair wild and unkempt. Suddenly, she turned her head sharply, scaring Chu Bai into a shiver.

"You hate Lu Chengwen?"

Chu Bai was genuinely terrified.

These two guys beat him like a child, yet they were scared to death of her. How terrifying must she be!?

"I... It doesn't really matter..."

Chu Bai was completely lost. To this moment, he still didn't know who had captured him, why, or which side they were on.

And now, she was bluntly asking if he hated Lu Chengwen. How could he dare answer carelessly?

"Why haven't you tried to kill him?"

"He's always got a woman from the Upper Four Gates with him, and the company is crowded with people. Plus, a few of my former subordinates are now with him... It's hard to find an opportunity..."

Jiang Xiaohou laughed—a wicked, crazed smile.

Her eyes made Chu Bai feel like a helpless lamb.

"Your skills can't beat the Upper Four Gates?"

Chu Bai muttered bitterly, "I used to be able to, but... they tortured me, and I suffered several serious injuries. Now, I'm stuck at the peak of the Middle Four Gates. If this keeps up, even fighting Lu Chengwen one-on-one will be tough."

"Hua Xuening is injured," Jiang Xiaohou said. "Tomorrow, Xu Xuejiao will take her to the hospital for a check-up. At home... only Lu Chengwen will be there."

Chu Bai was dumbfounded. "I don't get it..."

Jiang Xiaohou suddenly drew her long blade and stabbed it into Chu Bai's shoulder.

Chu Bai was shocked and was about to fight back when he realized—

Jiang Xiaohou's speed and strength were like a ghost's.

In an instant, she had struck over ten of his acupoints.

Chu Bai collapsed to his knees and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Before he could beg for mercy, Jiang Xiaohou grabbed his hair, lifted him, and threw him into a corner, making him sit against the sofa.

Just as he raised his head, Jiang Xiaohou stomped on his shoulder, forced his mouth open with one hand, and shoved a pill inside.

Jiang Xiaohou leaned in close—Chu Bai was on the verge of wetting himself.

She looked so young, yet her skills were terrifyingly overwhelming!

Like a beast, Jiang Xiaohou's eyes slowly examined Chu Bai.

"After eating this pill, you'll be in the Upper Four Gates. Now go—kill Lu Chengwen."

Chu Bai nodded frantically, then sensed something was wrong. "You guys are so strong. Why don't you do it yourselves?"

Jiang Xiaohou smirked. "You need to have some value, don't you?"

Chu Bai nodded vigorously. "I'll kill him!"
