Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1321 - 1322: You’re Not Qualified to Bear Grudges Yet

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1322: You’re Not Qualified to Bear Grudges Yet

The tune ends.

"Xu Kong, you’re still the skilled one." Lu Hui said, smoking a cigarette while leaning against the bed.

"Uh, darling, I have a bit of a situation..." Xu Kong touched the scars on his back, enduring the pain and speaking cautiously.

"What situation?" Lu Hui replied indifferently.

"I offended someone, and now that person wants to ban me." Xu Kong spoke of this matter, gritting his teeth in anger.

"Who is it?" Lu Hui frowned: "Didn’t you mention me to them?"

She felt a bit displeased; who in their circle wouldn’t know about Xu Kong’s relationship with her?

Yet, without so much as a heads-up, someone wanted to ban Xu Kong?!

"He said no matter who my backer is, if they dare interfere, he’ll take them down together!" Xu Kong didn’t exaggerate the truth.

He knew exaggeration was useless; Lu Hui would naturally look into it.

"Really?" Lu Hui’s face turned even darker: "Who is so bold?"

"Lu Xiaobu." Xu Kong revealed the name.

Afterward, he looked at Lu Hui expectantly, hoping she would rise in anger and deal with Lu Xiaobu.

However.

"Lu Xiaobu..."

Upon hearing this name, the displeasure on Lu Hui’s face gradually dissipated, and she fell into silence.

Smoking one puff after another, her agitation evident.

"Darling, what’s wrong?" Xu Kong felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be, even Lu Hui dared not offend Lu Xiaobu?

Impossible!

He had heard Lu Hui say that in the Heavenly Dynasty, there were only a few who could wrestle with the Lu Family.

"Don’t overthink. It’s not that I dare not offend, nor that I can’t offend, but it’s not worth it." Lu Hui blew out a smoke ring, glanced at Xu Kong, and immediately saw through his thoughts.

"This..."

Xu Kong’s face turned pale and then flushed.

First, because his thoughts were seen through, and second, Lu Hui’s words were too blunt.

Not worth it? What does that mean?

It means he’s not worth the trouble!

"Alright, don’t be angry." Lu Hui tossed away the cigarette butt and said: "I once said I would cover you, so I won’t break my word. I will call Lu Xiaobu, and you prepare to apologize."

Xu Kong’s face turned increasingly grim.

What does this mean?

He has to apologize to be saved?!

And it’s definitely not an ordinary apology; saying sorry won’t suffice, otherwise why would Lu Hui specifically remind him to prepare!

Yet, at the same time, he also understood that Lu Xiaobu was truly someone he shouldn’t have messed with!

He regretted it!

Lu Hui looked at Xu Kong once more, said nothing, but picked up the phone.

Only asking you to apologize, and you’re unhappy?

Do you even have the right to be unhappy?

To say something unpleasant, even if today you were killed by Lu Xiaobu, he might not even quarrel with her.

And she would absolutely not confront Lu Xiaobu over the life of an actor.

The call connected.

"Hello, is this Lu Xiaobu?" Lu Hui asked.

Lu Xiaobu: "Speak."

Lu Hui: "I’m from the Shangdu Lu Family, my name is Lu Hui."

Lu Xiaobu: "Well, Divine List’s tenth place? Interesting, what do you want?"

Lu Hui: "Don’t get me wrong, not suppressing you, just introducing myself."

Lu Xiaobu: "You can’t suppress me either, speak directly."

Lu Hui: "Xu Kong is under my protection, can you give me some face? I’ll have him apologize to you."

Lu Xiaobu: "Do you think my face is valuable?"

Lu Hui: "Of course, Young Master Lu’s face, even we wouldn’t underestimate it."

Lu Xiaobu: "Alright, I’ve made it clear, this guy has angered me. Now since you’re backing him, can you pay the price?"

Lu Hui: "This..."

She hesitated, Lu Xiaobu spoke the truth.

Lu Xiaobu’s current reputation on the Divine List can’t be ignored, even by their families.

Not to mention a Grandmaster not to be insulted, how much would it cost Lu Hui to protect Xu Kong?

There’s more to consider!

It’s still the original point—not worth it!

Lu Hui: "So how about this? I ensure he never appears before you again, and settle any issues, I just beg for his life, plus I owe you a favor, sound good?"

She was very sentimental indeed, for a promise made in a heated moment, going to such lengths, was absolutely enough.

Lu Xiaobu: "That face, I don’t like it, seems to be his asset?"

Lu Hui: "Alright, I agree."

Lu Xiaobu: "Let’s leave it at that then."

The phone hung up.

At this moment, Xu Kong’s face had already turned utterly pale!

He heard the conversation!

What?! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Just his life was spared?! Moreover, they were going to scar his face?!

His wealth and glory were gone?!

His power to command was gone?!

He’d have to live like this forever?!

"No! No! Sister Lu, no, darling, I’m begging you, please! Spare me! I’ll apologize to Lu Xiaobu! I’ll kneel for him! I’m begging you!"

Xu Kong jumped off the bed, knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

He didn’t want this, really didn’t want it!

Regret! Regret! He regretted the past! His intestines twisting in regret!

Was his brain cramped when he thought of provoking Lu Xiaobu back then?!

But, but, he didn’t expect even Lu Hui to compromise with Lu Xiaobu!

Divine List top ten families!

Weren’t they supposed to easily crush Lu Xiaobu?!

Why now to only spare his life, so much cost?!

Whatever favor Lu Hui owed wasn’t his concern, his face shouldn’t be scarred!

Lu Hui sat by the bed, lighting a cigarette again, quietly looking at Xu Kong kneeling before her.

"Sigh!"

Lu Hui exhaled a puff of smoke, with a sigh mixed within.

Then she reached out to touch Xu Kong’s smooth, beautiful face: "Such a pretty face. If I weren’t disfigured, I might be just as pretty."

"Darling! Darling!"

Xu Kong leaned into her hand, forcing out a flattering smile through his sweat: "Spare me, please!"

"Stand up." Lu Hui said indifferently.

"I! Spare me! Spare me!" Xu Kong dared not, continuing to plead.

"Stand up." Lu Hui said once more.

Only then did Xu Kong struggle to his feet.

Lu Hui also stood up, patting his shoulder: "Be a man, don’t rely on your looks to make a living anymore."

Having said that, Lu Hui picked up a nearby fruit knife, with a swift motion, a cross appeared on Xu Kong’s left cheek.

Blood flowed heavily, flesh exposed.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed in the room, lingering for a long time.

"Go start a small business or something." Lu Hui put on her clothes, took a picture, then tossed a card on the ground and turned to leave.

Pausing at the door, she said: "Remember, don’t bear hatred, you don’t have the right to hate."
