Chapter 236 Let’s Get Along

Lu Mingfei felt a little numb. Calculating the time, it turned out that before he was found by that crappy plan, he had already been targeted by other plans.

And why use Nibelung as the name of the project? Why not just call it the Stallion Project?

Lu Mingfei had already found it hard to imagine how Old Lu, who looked like a middle-aged artistic young man with an extremely artistic temperament, could come up with such a strange plan.
Looking at Lu Mingfei, who was holding his forehead with his hands because of a headache, Patsy smiled and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. Because the requirements for men in the plan are too high, you are the only man on the plan list."

Lu Mingfei, who had been mentally prepared for this, glanced at Patsy silently, feeling that this was the most insignificant news today.

"So? You came here just to take back the status that you were supposed to have?" Lu Mingfei asked Patsy softly.

He suddenly remembered something, that is, Figueres had told him mysteriously before that the engagement between him and Lucrecia was not something that they themselves could decide, and even the family and forces behind them could not decide either.

Now it seems that she may have read the plan just like Patsy.

"You misunderstood, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Patsy smiled faintly, "When your name appears on that list, theoretically, the secular agreement no longer applies to you. The elders who set up this plan will not allow you to be monopolized by a single force."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. There was actually a group of old men hiding behind him, staring at him, hoping that he would grow up quickly and expand the hybrid race. This made him feel a little uneasy. This was what it felt like to have someone staring at you.

More importantly, his father was the instigator. He didn't expect that Lao Lu would sell him out so early!

"The family just took advantage of some loopholes and used the momentary jokes of your father and the head of the family to allow Miss Lucrecia to obtain the status of your official fiancée." Patsy explained with a smile.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Mingfei interrupted the head maid who was talking. "If this is your family's decision, then what about Frost?"

Patsy paused, still smiling on her pretty face, but there was something indescribable in her blue eyes that were freed from her bangs.

"It's not impossible to tell you this," Patsy said with a subtle expression, "but please keep it a secret from Miss Lucrecia after you hear it."

"Why is it so mysterious?" Lu Mingfei nodded, his expression still subtle.

Patsy thought for a moment and said softly, "You know that with Miss Lucrecia's personality, she always refuses the family's arrangements at the first opportunity, no matter whether they are beneficial to her or not."

Lu Mingfei agreed. Lucrecia herself said that going against the old guys in the family was one of her few pleasures.

"So, the elders of the family planned to do the opposite. When the head of the family and his wife both agreed to the marriage, an abominable and annoying elder of the family stood up to oppose it." Patsy smiled slightly, "Mr. Frost is that abominable and annoying elder of the family. Or rather, no one is more annoying than him."

Lu Mingfei took a breath, so this was a way of provoking him!
He thought about the video call with Frost that night. Now that he thought about it, it was unbelievable that the acting head of a family worth millions of euros was arguing with a high school student like an elementary school student.

In other words, he seemed to have been provoked... Of course, it is not ruled out that the guy is really annoying.

Lu Mingfei covered his forehead with his hands, and suddenly felt like laughing. Lucrecia, does this count as being sold out by your parents?

"That is to say..." Patsy looked up at Lu Mingfei, "You were originally the groom that the family had prepared for her."

Lu Mingfei looked up and looked at Patsy, who maintained proper etiquette and a smile that always made people feel comfortable. She said a lot of things that shocked him today, but she didn't say what she was here for today.

"You've said so much, do you want me to treat you the same way as Lucrecia?" Lu Mingfei felt confused when he asked this question.

The relationship between him and the head maid was originally considered normal, but last night she kissed him like she was giving up on herself, and it became completely abnormal. More importantly, the person she served was his fiancée... This was no longer a question of normal or abnormal.

Patsy was slightly stunned, then suddenly smiled, and Lu Mingfei felt a little embarrassed because his question was a little strange after all.

"I would be very happy if you could do that." Patsy looked at Lu Mingfei, her beautiful blue eyes filled with smiles, as comforting as the ocean.

Then she shook her head and said softly, "But what I want to say is that I hope you will not cancel your engagement with Miss Lucrecia after knowing this series of events."

Patsy looked at Lu Mingfei, and the seriousness in her eyes made him sit down subconsciously. But he couldn't help but grumble in his heart, why did Patsy's request feel even stranger than his question?

"Miss Lucrecia, she really likes you. Not only her, but also the patron and mistress's love and satisfaction with you are not arranged by the family." Patsy said softly, "Maybe she was just willing to meet you at the beginning because of the family's provocation, but now, she really wants to maintain this relationship."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help scratching his head. He naturally knew what Lucrezia was thinking. Lucrezia looked generous and open, but she was also a very conservative girl. If she hadn't wanted to, how could she have kissed him last night?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly froze again. He stared at Patsy blankly, repeating the same sentence in his mind.

If the girl doesn't want to, how can she kiss you...

He couldn't help scratching his hair again, and felt more and more that the scumbag that the little troublemaker had scolded last night seemed to be right.

Patsy didn't notice the change in Lu Mingfei's expression. She carefully held out something, and Lu Mingfei was stunned again when he saw it. The paper petals were a little dry after being soaked in water, and the candle in the middle had long been burned out. Only the handwriting on the paper was barely recognizable.

“How did you get this?” Lu Mingfei recognized it. This was the river lantern that Lucrecia had placed in Nanhu Lake.

Patsy smiled slightly. "After all, it was your first date with Miss Lucrecia, so I couldn't be careless. Then, I saw this thing floating over by the lake."

Lu Mingfei was speechless for a while. So you were nearby at that time.

"Miss Lucrecia is a very kind person." Patsy looked at the river lanterns. Lu Mingfei didn't recognize the words written on them, but she did. They were praying for her health.

She said with a gentle look: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, do you know? Actually, at the beginning, I was the qualified person for Seraph. After all, Seraph puts a heavy burden on the qualified person's body and mind, so it's most appropriate for someone like me who has not much time left to drive." Lu Mingfei looked at Patsy with a calm expression on his face, and suddenly remembered the Seraph that was only a skeleton left in the Nibelung. On the rotten knight's cabin seat, there was something covered with steel needles, like a torture device.

If you think carefully about the function of that thing, you will know that it is more than just a burden.

Lost in memories, Patsy seemed to recall something and smiled slightly, saying, "Then Miss Lucrecia appeared. She said that as the eldest daughter of the Gattuso family, the qualified person could only be her. So, she replaced me and became the qualified person of the Seraph."

Patsy looked up at the silent Lu Mingfei and said, "Ms. Lucrecia is suitable as both a girlfriend and a wife. Although she is still very young, she is the type who is willing to change for those she cares about."

"What about you?" Lu Mingfei silently looked at Patsy who was smiling indifferently, and suddenly felt unhappy.

This maid has always been like, "I'm going to die soon, it's up to you next." But you've been saved! The person who saved you is right in front of you! What's with your "I'll just watch you guys do well, I'll just watch silently" attitude?
Patsy also looked at him silently, then suddenly smiled. She gently stood up, came to Lu Mingfei's side, then leaned on his knees, and took his hand while he looked questioning.

"I just said that, didn't I? The elders of the academy will not allow one force to monopolize you. The family naturally has a countermeasure." Patsy said softly, "The elders just want the hybrids to return to their original appearance. The family is not surprised. They are happy to carry out the Nibelungen Project within the family. This is what the elders want."

"Guess who will be on the list then?" Patsy winked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei almost paused for a moment. After all, who could bear it when a beautiful girl who was usually dignified, elegant and well-mannered suddenly showed her charming side to him?

"Of course, all of the above require you to show your true bloodline." Patsy smiled gently, and the charm she revealed inadvertently was like a fox.

“…You make it sound like I’m Tang Sanzang.” Lu Mingfei had an inexplicable feeling that he was more popular than Tang Sanzang.

"Before that, you will need an assistant. After all, the family members are not stupid. As Zero appears more and more often, it seems that it is only a matter of time before they know your true lineage." She said, "In fact, if someone hadn't deliberately interfered at the school board meeting, you would have entered everyone's sight."

Lu Mingfei thought that this was probably the work of the principal and Chu Tianjiao, and perhaps Renata and the others also contributed. Thinking of this, he glanced in the direction of the door. The door was closed, so naturally he couldn't see anything. He just didn't know how much they knew about this plan.

Patsy took Lu Mingfei's hand, which made him feel a little unnatural. That's right, a beautiful girl took your hand and put it to her lips. Her soft lips brushed across her fingertips, and her gentle breath tickled the back of her hand... Who could feel natural?
"You seem unwilling to be exposed to the sight of the elders, so I think you need more distractions, such as me." Patsy smiled gently at Lu Mingfei. She took Lu Mingfei's hand and kissed it on her lips, like a knight in the Middle Ages declaring his allegiance to her monarch.

"Of course, I did this for my own selfish reasons..." She winked at Lu Mingfei, "Please remember to keep this a secret from Miss Lucrecia."

……

It was already afternoon when Lu Mingfei wandered to Chu Yuwei's house. After helping him with the housework, Patsy left, which was just like clocking in at work, and Lu Mingfei almost thought that what she said to him was just his fantasy.

But none of this matters anymore!
Lu Mingfei looked at the Chu Yuwei family, which was obviously magnificent but was shrouded in an indissoluble shadow, as if it was even more dangerous than Nibelung and Florence. He could never take a single step forward.

...The reason is simple: Aunt Su Xiaoyan is back.

Lu Mingfei was almost scared when he received Chu Yuwei's call. Then when he heard that the strange aunt had returned and was going to cook for them personally, he was really scared!
Chu Yuzhen explained that the couple went to England for a while during the school board meeting. Then, Auntie was attracted by the local food in England. After asking for advice, she thought her cooking skills had improved greatly and said that she must show her children when she came back.

Lu Mingfei thought over and over again, but he couldn't figure out how the words Britain and food could go together. Then, he thought that even if his stomach was damaged, he couldn't let Sister Chu down, so he came.

He thought, he didn't even care about weird things like Omega and Alpha. It was just some dark cuisine and British food. What was so scary about it!

Lu Mingfei pushed the door open and entered the house, then was shocked by what was inside.

Chen Motong was lying on the sofa in the living room, with a wet towel on her head, her eyes half-closed, and an unknown black stain at the corner of her mouth. She looked like she was dying, breathing more than she took in. Susie was beside her with hot water, asking about her health, and her eyes were secretly glancing towards the kitchen, fearing that the hospitable weird aunt would suddenly appear.

Lu Mingfei admitted that he was scared, but it was too late because the weird aunt had already seen him.

"Oh, it's been a while since we last met. Xiaolu, look how thin you have become." The strange aunt grabbed Lu Mingfei enthusiastically and walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Mingfei's face was filled with horror. He was infected with the overeating and drinking syndrome by Figel. Which eye of yours saw that I lost weight?

Lu Mingfei, an S-class hybrid who could be chopped down at the behest of an Omega or bombed at the behest of an Alpha, slid into the kitchen like a little chicken. He looked around and found that Chu Tianjiao was not there. Chu Yuzhen said that he was at the branch office to handle work.

As for how much of it is true, only Chu Tianjiao himself knows.

Lu Mingfei saw some unexpected people. Lucrecia and Chu Yuwei were sitting at the two ends of the dining table. The air was filled with a solemn atmosphere. Lu Mingfei was pressed down on the seat, which happened to block their view.

However, Lu Mingfei had no time to care about them. He saw the strange charred object in front of him, and the piece of meat that was more twisted and ugly than Deadpool. It took him a while to recognize that it was probably fish and chips.

...So, how did fish and chips, which look impossible to fail, end up like this?

"Everyone is here, let's get started." Lucrecia glanced at Lu Mingfei, raised the drink beside her, and said to the strange aunt with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. It's a great banquet. I really enjoyed it."

Lu Mingfei looked at Lucrecia in shock and said, “Just blink if you feel threatened!”

"As long as you are happy." The strange aunt smiled brightly and didn't think it was a compliment at all.

She looked at Chu Yuyu, who had no expression on her face, and said unhappily, "Yuyu, you can't treat guests like this. They came here from Italy with great difficulty. You two should get along well with them."

Chu Yuyi glanced at Lu Mingfei in the same way, then picked up the cup and looked at Chu Yuyi: "Okay, let's get along well."

Please, let’s fight… Lu Mingfei roared in his heart, staring at the fish head that looked like it was not a fish.

　Caught up!
