High Martial Arts: Integrating with Super AI, Unrivaled and Unstoppable!
Chapter 8: A Bizarre Blind Date!
The quiet path was sparsely populated.
The wind swirls fallen leaves, rustling as they brush against the tops of my feet.
Lu Xuan took out a card that was entirely black with gilded edges, held it between his fingertips, and steadily placed it into Chen Hui's hand.
He pressed down on the other person's hand, his knuckles slightly interlocked, his tone calm yet brooking no refusal:
"Take it."
Chen Hui's hand trembled violently, his fingertips freezing in mid-air, and he hurriedly pushed it back.
Her ears were bright red and her hair was burning, even her neck was tinged with a light red:
"Brother Xuan, I can't accept this! I'm not helping you for the money!"
Lu Xuan pressed down on his struggling hand, his palm warm, his eyes solemn, his gaze fixed firmly on his face:
"Xiaohui, without you, I would never have woken up. You gave me my life, what is this little bit of money?"
He paused, his voice soft yet powerful, each word striking deep into the heart:
"You have 1.5 billion in your account. Use it to live a good life. If you ever have any trouble, feel free to contact me."
1.5 billion?!
Chen Hui stared at the card, his pupils contracted sharply, his lips trembled, and his eyes instantly turned red.
His voice trembled, his throat tightened as if blocked:
"Brother Xuan... there's too much... I really can't accept it..."
When he looked up, Lu Xuan had already turned and walked away, his back straight as a pine tree, without looking back.
Chen Hui stood frozen in place, his fingertips turning white as he gripped the card. Tears welled up in his eyes, falling onto the card and spreading out wet stains.
He wanted to chase after them, to shout, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
The wind swept the fallen leaves past my feet, swirling and drifting away.
He stared in the direction where Lu Xuan had disappeared, his voice breaking as he choked back sobs.
"Brother Xuan..."
-
Before, Lu Xuan was a corporate slave working 996 every day, overwhelmed by work and always feeling a tightness in his chest.
Now that he has been relieved of his burdens, he wants to go home and spend more time with his parents.
As soon as he entered the door, the eyes of all his aunts and uncles in the living room swept over him, densely packed and fixed on him.
The familiar pressure to get married hit him hard, making Lu Xuan's breathing difficult.
His seventh aunt grabbed his arm enthusiastically, tightened her grip, and asked:
"Xiao Xuan, when are you planning to get married?"
Lu Xuan forced a smile, his lips twitching:
"I'm still young, I'll focus on my work first, no rush."
Aunt Ba immediately chimed in, her tone lecturing and her voice sharp:
"What do you mean 'not in a hurry'? You're almost thirty, do you think you're still twenty? Stop procrastinating!"
Mother Li Xiulan nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of expectation, her fingertips clutching the hem of her clothes:
"That's right! I'm still waiting to hold my big, healthy grandson! Your cousin already has three kids! His eldest is old enough to run errands!"
Lu Xuan wanted to cry but had no tears, sighed helplessly, and slumped his shoulders:
"Stop rushing me, I don't even have a girlfriend, how am I going to get married?"
Father Lu Jianguo frowned, his brows furrowing into a knot:
"Hmm? What about your ex-girlfriend? Did you break up with her?"
Lu Xuan remained calm, uttering two words softly, his gaze fixed on his father:
"We broke up."
Li Xiulan immediately panicked, took a few steps forward, and her voice trembled:
"Oh dear! Is it because you can't speak properly? Is it because you're not nice enough to people?"
Lu Jianguo followed suit, speaking earnestly and earnestly, his tone heavy:
"Boys should be more generous and not stingy, and girls need to be pampered, understand?"
The relatives chimed in with their own opinions, their voices so loud they made my eardrums vibrate.
"Exactly, girls need to be coaxed."
"There's no such thing as dating without spending money; you have to spend money when necessary."
"It's good that we broke up. We dated for five years and never planned to get married. I should find someone suitable and settle down and have kids right away."
Lu Xuan was too lazy to argue, and just listened quietly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup.
Li Xiulan changed the subject, patted his arm, her palm slightly sweaty:
"If you've broken up, then so be it! Aunt Wang said she'd introduce you to a nice girl. I didn't really want to agree, but how about we go meet her this afternoon?"
Lu Xuan refused without hesitation, his tone resolute:
"I'm not going."
"Hey, it's not like I'm asking you to get married right away, it's just to let you meet more people!"
Li Xiulan quickly tried to comfort her, her eyes reddening with anxiety.
Lu Xuan shook his head, his voice weary, and his temples throbbing slightly.
"I don't want to go, it's too tiring."
Li Xiulan's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she cried and cursed, her voice rising:
"You're almost thirty! Are you trying to drive me crazy? What's wrong with meeting him?"
Lu Xuan couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to compromise and rub his temples.
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
-
In the afternoon, in the elegant Western restaurant, piano music flowed gently, the notes entering the ears with a soothing rhythm.
Li Xiulan pointed to a spot not far away, leaned close to Lu Xuan's ear, and whispered:
"That's right. Aunt Wang and I can only introduce you. From now on, it's up to fate."
Lu Xuan looked up and stared at the newcomer, his expression calm.
A robust girl strode in, her footsteps heavy, and sat down casually, her elbows bouncing lightly on the table.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Feifei, and I'm your blind date. Let me make this clear: I'm not going to date someone worse off than my ex-boyfriend!"
Lu Xuan's fingertips rested on the rim of the cup, his knuckles slightly cool, his expression calm:
"Oh? What were your ex-boyfriend's conditions?"
Zhang Feifei raised her chin high, looking smug.
"A rich second-generation heir, his family owns a mine! His surname is Jiang—you know how valuable that surname is!"
Lu Xuan nodded, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and casually asked:
"With such good conditions, why did you split it up?"
Zhang Feifei's face darkened, her fingers tightened around the bag strap, and she said impatiently, her voice suddenly rising:
"What's it to you? Can't we just not get along?"
She paused, her tone hardening, her fingertip tapping the table:
"If you can meet my conditions, we'll continue; if not, you can treat me to a meal, a movie, and a gift, and then we'll go our separate ways."
Lu Xuan remained indifferent, his gaze fixed on her face, and he spoke only calmly:
"you say."
Zhang Feifei counted on her fingers, one by one, speaking with a clear and piercing voice:
"Engagement fee: 88,000; wedding fee: 288,000; hardware fee: 100,000 RMB or more; 150-square-meter downtown apartment, in my name; car, in my name or more, in my name; after marriage, you and your parents will hand over all your salaries; I will not work, you will support me, my parents, and my brother."
Li Xiulan sat to the side, and upon hearing these words, her face turned green with anger, her fingertips clenched until they turned white, and her breathing became labored.
This isn't looking for a partner, it's looking for your ancestors!
The guests at the next table glanced at each other and whispered among themselves; their voices drifted into my ears:
"Wow, this woman's request is outrageous."
"You're raising a younger brother too? Is this a blind date? Or are you here to ransack the place!"
"This guy has such a good temper. If it were me, I would have flipped the table and left."
Zhang Feifei became increasingly smug as she spoke, raising her chin even higher:
"I have tons of guys chasing after me! You should cherish this opportunity!"
Lu Xuan looked at her without saying a word, his fingertips twitching slightly as he slowly took out his phone.
The next second, he showed his bank balance screen, the light so bright it made people dizzy.
A long string of numbers, a balance of over a billion, made Zhang Feifei's pupils shrink so much that she couldn't open her eyes.
Next, Lu Xuan took out a stack of property certificates and rent collection books, and gently placed them on the table, the sound of the papers rubbing together crisp and clear.
"I own an entire building in the heart of the city center. Every day when I open my eyes, millions of dollars in rent are deposited into my account."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feifei's eyes lit up instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, and a fawning smile spread across her face as she leaned forward.
"Handsome, I'm extremely satisfied with your qualities! We can get married right away!"
Lu Xuan looked at her calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips, his gaze still fixed on her face:
"It's no use if you're satisfied with me; I'm not satisfied with you. Now, please leave."
Zhang Feifei's face flushed crimson, a mixture of shame and anger on her face. She grabbed her bag, stood up, and staggered away.
"What a pathetic guy! He didn't even eat before kicking the girl out! What a cheapskate! You think you can find a wife? Dream on!"
As she fled in disarray, a burst of loud laughter erupted in the restaurant.
"Hahaha, that was such a satisfying slap in the face!"
"A balance of over a billion, and a building—this guy's a real tycoon!"
"Well done! That's how you teach those gold-digging women who make exorbitant demands a lesson!"
Li Xiulan looked at the property certificate on the table, her mouth agape in astonishment, her fingertips trembling, her voice shaking:
"Xiao Xuan, where did you get so much money and a house?"
Lu Xuan put his arm around her shoulder, his palm warm, smiled gently, and looked at his mother's face:
"Mom, it's all from the right path, don't worry."
He looked intently at his mother, his eyes resolute.
"Please, don't introduce me to any more of these ugly, deformed people. I'm begging you."
Li Xiulan nodded hurriedly, her face still showing signs of fear, and wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead with her fingertips:
"I didn't know she was this kind of person! Aunt Wang said she was virtuous and family-oriented!"
Lu Xuan chuckled helplessly, his lips twitching slightly:
"She's concerned about the family, but only her own. She expects me to support her whole family! Mom, matchmakers' words are lies, don't believe them."
Li Xiulan opened her mouth, but in the end only managed a hesitant, soft reply:
"……Um."
A gentle-looking woman at the next table smiled and said:
"Don't worry, sister. Your son is so outstanding, he won't have trouble finding a good girl to like him!"
Immediately, someone nearby echoed this, their voice urgent:
"Yes, such a wealthy and influential young man, so charming and approachable, there are plenty of girls who want to marry him!"
"My younger sister is still single. She's hardworking and sensible! Let me introduce you two!"
"My niece is single too, a graduate of a prestigious university, beautiful and gentle! Do you want her contact information?"
The two turned their heads at the same time, their eyes wide like saucers, and started fighting on the spot, their voices shrill:
"Hey, hey, hey, don't you know about first come, first served? I said that first!"
"My niece is younger, prettier, and more educated; she'll definitely choose my daughter!"
"What's the use of being young? My sister can make delicious soups and do housework!"
"My niece is educated and knows how to make money; she's a million times better than your sister!"
The two argued more and more fiercely, one pulling on the arm and the other on the hem of the clothes, almost tearing Lu Xuan in two.
Lu Xuan's shoulder ached slightly from the pulling. An old man at the next table, who had been drinking and always eager for drama, chimed in with a loud voice:
"Stop arguing! I have twin granddaughters, why don't you take them both?"
The room fell silent for a second, then erupted in uproarious laughter that echoed throughout the restaurant.
"Hahaha, hahaha, young man, you're really lucky with the ladies!"
Lu Xuan stood frozen in place, his lips twitching. He rubbed his temples with his fingertips. This attention seemed a little too overwhelming...
Li Xiulan couldn't stop smiling, her eyes crinkling into crescents, already secretly planning who to choose as her daughter-in-law.
