Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 53

Xu Wanxing thought about the people around him and hesitated for a moment, saying, “Are you talking about Pei Yu? He certainly looks like a good person on the surface.”

Lin Yao nearly ground his teeth to powder. He looked at the person next to Xu Wanxing with intense loathing. What was he supposed to do about this stupid little white rabbit?

He was about to be devoured by the Big Bad Wolf, yet he was foolishly helping the wolf count its money.

Lu Yanbai chuckled softly. “Alright, baby needs to rest. That’s probably enough television for now.” As he spoke, he gave Lin Yao a look that strongly suggested he should leave.

It was a subtle hint for him not to say anything more.

Lin Yao cursed under his breath as he walked out of the ward. The first thing he did was return to his own room and look in the mirror.

He had always disliked his beautiful and seductive face, but having two big, round black eyes on it truly made him miserable.

That damned Lu Yanbai.

Yet, he had no way to deal with Lu Yanbai.

There was once a circle for heirs, and Lu Yanbai and Shen Yuxuan had always been the leading figures in it.

They were young and learned, smart, academically excellent, handsome, exceptional at social etiquette, and heirs to major families.

It could be said that God had opened every door and window for them; there was nothing they lacked.

When Lin Yao broke his calf in a fall during a childhood equestrian lesson, after receiving immediate treatment and bandaging, his parents were summoned by the teacher, and they proceeded to point their fingers at him and curse him for being useless.

The young Lin Yao could only look with envy toward the equestrian field, where the competition was reaching its most intense final moments.

Lu Yanbai and Shen Yuxuan were fighting for first place, and in the end, Lu Yanbai won by a single body length, claiming the championship.

If it were Lin Yao, he would have been cheering, leaping for joy, and showing off the trophy to everyone, but Lu Yanbai was not like that. His expression was calm, and he placed the trophy aside, completely accustomed to winning.

But indeed, for darlings of fortune like them, they must have won so many of those trophies that their hands were numb.

From childhood until now, Lin Yao had never won first or second place; those spots were entirely monopolized by Lu Yanbai and Shen Yuxuan.

Even within their social circle, people said, what right did a useless heir like him have to inherit the immense Lin Group?

He had been kidnapped, blackmailed, and targeted for assassination multiple times because he was too weak and completely unable to protect himself.

Even now, having become the secret head of the Lin Group, the feeling of inferiority in Lin Yao’s heart could not be erased.

So what if Lu Yanbai turned into an Omega? Everyone in that social circle had ridiculed Lu Yanbai at the time—a perfectly fine family heir turning out to be an Omega.

Even he had mocked the person who was a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than himself.

Later, Lu Yanbai slapped all of them in the face. He was the resolute head of the Lu Group, a Great White Shark in the sea of commerce. Whether they were big fish or small fish, Lu Yanbai caught them all.

A legend remained a legend. Only someone like him, who was extremely shy and weak in childhood, would become a power behind the scenes.

Lin Yao looked at himself in the mirror, growing increasingly annoyed. People often said he looked like a lower-tier version of Lu Yanbai, with this gorgeous and seductive face being the biggest similarity.

Since they dared not provoke Lu Yanbai, they came to provoke him instead.

Lin Yao looked at the black circles in the mirror and used his hands to gesture two panda ears on his head.

It actually looked quite cute.

No wonder Xu Wanxing liked it.

Giving panda ears to a fox like him—Xu Wanxing truly had an imagination.

Lin Yao’s expression softened for a moment.

He did not believe that Xu Wanxing and Lu Yanbai would last long. They simply belonged to different worlds.

Someone as favored by fate as Lu Yanbai was so lofty that even Lin Yao found him unattainable, let alone Xu Wanxing, who was just an ordinary person.

When Xu Wanxing was abandoned, he would appear to become the savior who rescued the little pitiful.

Lin Yao rubbed his chin, planning his role.

Inside the ward, Lu Yanbai had been sleeping by the bed for several days.

Seeing the faint dark circles under Lu Yanbai’s eyes, Xu Wanxing knew Lu Yanbai couldn’t stop worrying about him.

[Wuwuwu, System, the Protagonist-Shou is so good. I’m afraid I’ll fall in love with him.]

System: [That’s normal. The gold-digging cannon fodder that the host is playing only cared about money at first but later fell in love with the Protagonist-Shou. No one can resist the Protagonist-Shou’s charm. Love him if you want, but you must be clear that he will not love you.]

Xu Wanxing: [Tuanzi, your words are so cruel, so icy cold, chilling me to the bone, making my heart fly.]

System: [Please, I am the voice of reason. You need to know your place. I advise you not to fall for him. If you do, you will be in unbearable pain once the plot concludes.]

Xu Wanxing was completely sure the System was right. That was the reality. He was the protagonist; how could he possibly fancy a cannon fodder like him?

They had no future.

Money! Get money!

Men would only slow down his pursuit of money!

After steeling his resolve, Xu Wanxing watched as Lu Yanbai pushed a wheelchair to take him outside for a walk.

Damn it, he almost lost his composure and felt his heart flutter.

Who could resist Lu Yanbai’s charm?

By the lake, the scenery was beautiful, the sun was bright, flowers were brilliantly releasing their fragrance, and the lake water rippled, sparkling with golden light.

Xu Wanxing watched Lu Yanbai beside him without revealing his thoughts.

Beautiful scenery matched with a beautiful person—what contentment!

The two sunbathed for a while, and Lu Yanbai said, “Baby, do you like a place like this?”

Xu Wanxing nodded. Of course he liked it! It was lush and green with rippling water. When the plot ended, he wanted to buy a house in a place like this and live a carefree life.

Lu Yanbai’s eyes curved into a smile, and he pulled a document from behind him.

“Sign this, and the house across the lake will be yours.”

Xu Wanxing: Huh?!! Holy sh*t?!!

Across the lake was a high-end villa district. This was the Imperial Capital! Every inch of land here was ridiculously expensive, and property prices had soared to the heavens.

Xu Wanxing knew that the houses right where they were standing were very costly because the hospital was on this side of the lake and the residential area was across from it. Medical care was secured, and the Imperial Capital University was only a ten-minute trip away.

Cultural heritage, humanistic care, historical background, transportation location, and basic facilities—it had everything.

Even the 10 million Yuan breakup fee Lu Yanbai would give him wouldn’t be enough to buy half a house here.

Now he was actually saying he wanted to give him this house?!

That was incredible.

Don’t blame him for being tempted. Who wouldn’t be confused by a handsome guy who loved to give away houses and drop massive amounts of cash?

Xu Wanxing’s heart was pounding. He suspected that the next second, he would wake up from a dream.

He angrily pinched his arm and only then realized this was real.

Lu Yanbai looked at him disapprovingly. “You don’t like this one? Then we can choose another. Why did you pinch yourself?”

Xu Wanxing snatched the document. “I love it, I love it! I love this one! I’m signing, I’m signing!”

After signing the contract, Xu Wanxing leaned back in the wheelchair, looked at the bright sunshine, and felt the gentle breeze.

Awesome!

Today’s gold-digging quota was complete!

And even over-fulfilled!

Lu Yanbai truly was his old baby—oh no, his big baby. Lu Yanbai wasn’t that old, but his ability was outstanding.

Seeing Xu Wanxing radiating happiness from the inside out, Lu Yanbai smiled unconsciously.

Such a small amount of money was enough to completely mesmerize his baby.
