Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 71

“How suitable you and Little Shen are, how well matched. Little Shen’s grandfather has always been telling me how perfect you two are,” said the old gentleman.

“Shen Yuxian?”

Lu Yanbai curled his lip into a cold smile. “How are he and I matched? He even insulted me before.” However, Shen Yuxian was indeed a good person; he even delivered his baby to him.

It could be considered a neutralization of merits and demerits in a sense.

Lu Yanbai’s gaze shifted towards Xu Wanxing. Suddenly, Xu Wanxing stood up abruptly, gripping the fishing rod with both hands.

The old gentleman’s eyes instantly lit up. He ran over: “Did you catch a fish already?”

Lu Yanbai picked up the net on the other side. Xu Wanxing tightened the fishing line, and with lightning speed, he scooped up a big fish.

The fish was a good meter long. Lu Yanbai’s arm muscles tensed, with veins bulging, as he strenuously placed the fish on the bank.

The old gentleman’s fishing bucket couldn’t hold this big fish at all. The large fish flopped about vigorously on the grass. A fish over a meter long can jump with great force.

Xu Wanxing panted as he looked at the big fish. He did know how to fish; he did it often in his previous life as a working stiff accompanying customers.

His luck was always good when fishing.

But this was the first time he had seen a fish this large. However, this fish pond must be for aquaculture, and most fish should be easy to get by just feeding them, right?

The old gentleman’s face was flushed red, his eyes gleaming. He watched the fish thrash on the ground until it was exhausted, then scooped it up and held it in his arms, asking Lu Yanbai to take a photo of him.

Lu Yanbai did as instructed. The old gentleman then walked to the edge of the fish pond and threw the large fish back in. His eyes, fixed on Xu Wanxing, were no longer indifferent; instead, they revealed an extremely fervent excitement.

“Little Xu, you are truly incredible. This is the King of Fish. I’ve never been able to catch this one before, and you caught it for me on your first visit. You truly are my lucky star.”

Although this was an aquaculture pond, such large fish were old, highly intelligent, and extremely adept at hiding, making them impossible to catch.

He only ever saw this big fish when the pond was being cleared; normally, he could only catch small fish, a few centimeters or ten centimeters long.

Xu Wanxing truly gave him a huge surprise.

Fishing simply requires good luck.

He wasn’t willing to eat this big fish; it wasn’t easy for it to live this long, so he put it back in the pond to wait for him to catch it next time.

The old gentleman reeled in his line and, smiling warmly, led Xu Wanxing to the dining room for dinner.

Lu Yanbai followed beside Xu Wanxing, and the corner of his mouth curved up as he observed the old gentleman’s drastically changed attitude.

He had been contemplating other ways to make the old gentleman accept Xu Wanxing, but he hadn’t expected Xu Wanxing to give him such a big surprise all at once.

All those other methods were now useless. The old gentleman now looked at Xu Wanxing as if he were a great treasure.

Such enthusiasm.

Upon arriving at the dining room, Xu Wanxing noticed a middle-aged couple there who bore quite a resemblance to Lu Yanbai.

The man was refined, but a hint of weakness was subtly present between his brows, and the woman was graceful but had extremely thin lips, making her look unapproachable.

“Oh, who is this? You’ve finally deigned to return. Why don’t you greet your parents when you see them?” said Lu Mother, and Lu Father nodded in agreement.

Lu Yanbai’s expression was calm. “Father, Mother.”

His parents were always traveling all over the world, leaving him to be cared for by a nanny, never giving him an ounce of affection.

When he gained the right of succession, his mother was hysterical, screaming, cursing, and beating him, demanding to know why he had stolen his father’s inheritance rights.

His father was extremely weak because his grandfather was very domineering when he was young, and various pressures had turned his father into this state.

His grandfather knew he had failed his father but also knew his father couldn’t inherit Lu’s Corporation or be the head of the Lu family, so he ultimately settled on him as the heir.

Therefore, his parents intensely disliked him, viewing him as a scourge.

Love is mutual. Since his parents couldn’t give him love, he naturally couldn’t give love to them.

Xu Wanxing frowned and held Lu Yanbai’s hand. He hadn’t expected Lu Yanbai’s parents to be like this.

Even the favored son of heaven has many untold difficulties.

This passive-aggressive manner was exactly like an evil mother-in-law from a wealthy family.

Lu Mother frowned, and her well-maintained finger pointed at Xu Wanxing. “Who is this? Don’t tell me he’s your Alpha.”

Lu Yanbai held up their joined hands. “Mother, you are truly clever.”

Xu Wanxing: I’m sweating, my friend.

Xu Wanxing smiled at Lu Father and Lu Mother. “Father, Mother.”

Lu Father nodded, but Lu Mother curled her lip and said sarcastically, “Who are your parents? Nonsense. Has anyone here acknowledged you? An Alpha like you—it’s obvious at a glance that you’re after our family’s money, a gold-digger, and you want to marry into our family? Dream on!”

Oh my, she spoke the truth.

The Alpha who is truly after money—Xu Wanxing scratched his head awkwardly.

Lu Yanbai stared coldly at his mother. Lu Mother flinched from his freezing gaze, forced a strained smile, and tugged at the person beside her, giving him a meaningful look.

Lu Father looked awkwardly at his wife and son, his eyes evasive. Lu Mother pinched him hard. “Useless thing!”

Elder Lu said, “Enough, stop arguing. Let’s eat.”

The old gentleman commanded great authority, and Lu Mother immediately fell silent. Xu Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with Lu Yanbai beside the old gentleman, across from Lu Father and Lu Mother.

The table was large, a very traditional Chinese round, wooden table. The wood looked to have an excellent grain and carried a slight fragrance.

Suddenly, Xu Wanxing felt a hand on his thigh. Lu Yanbai’s hand rubbed twice, and he leaned close to Xu Wanxing’s ear to whisper, “Don’t mind my parents; they’re not important.”

Xu Wanxing nodded.

After dinner, Lu Father and Lu Mother went straight upstairs, unwilling to stay downstairs for even a second longer.

Xu Wanxing sat on the solid wood sofa in the main hall, with Lu Yanbai on his left and the old gentleman on his right.

The old gentleman smiled as he looked him over. “Little Xu, you don’t look much like an Alpha. You’re a pretty skinny young man.”

Xu Wanxing subconsciously reached to lift his shirt to show the old gentleman his abs.

He didn’t know why, but even though he didn’t exercise, Alphas here seemed to naturally develop abs.

Lu Yanbai’s face darkened, and he quickly pressed down on Xu Wanxing’s hand. “Grandpa, he has a bird’s stomach and eats little, so he’s thin.”

Xu Wanxing: …A bird’s stomach? Why did that phrase sound familiar?

It seemed he had said that to trick Lu Yanbai when he was too full to eat dinner after having eaten two starch sausages earlier.

Xu Wanxing nodded with difficulty.

The old gentleman shook his head. “Little Xu, this won’t do. How can a small physique like yours withstand anything? Your butt is quite perky, just a bit small. Eat more in the future.”

Elder Lu knew that Lu Yanbai had transformed into an Enigma, which was fantastic news.

Alphas have always been at the top of the food chain, so what about an Enigma?

Enigmas have been very rare in history. This gender is extremely uncommon and unique, but every time one appears, they become a figure of great renown.

Enigmas have higher intelligence, better physical ability, superior looks, better health, and a longer lifespan. Everyone is eagerly pursuing them.
