Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

55

This was their plan—to use Xu Damao's name to treat the entire hotel to a meal.

Let him empty his pockets and bleed himself dry.

Xu Damao's current cowardly state is even worse than they imagined.

The maids were very satisfied.

He's trying to fool these young girls by pretending to be a rich guy.

Then don't blame them for turning their backs on you.

He's a beast, he deserves to suffer like this.

Besides, that's not enough.

They knew all too well that letting a tiger return to the mountains would leave future troubles.

We must give him a thorough dressing down.

I saw it all just now. Xu Damao took out three hundred yuan to pay the bill, but he still had five ten-yuan bills left in his wallet.

Fifty dollars in total.

These young girls were determined to squeeze every last penny out of him.

He wasn't given a single penny.

This is the lesson they taught Xu Damao.

Those freeloaders finally had their fill of laughter and dispersed in a noisy uproar.

Xu Damao was left alone, lying on the ground like a stray dog, too scared to lift his head.

He buried his head in his arms, trying to avoid everyone's gaze.

His butt was sticking out high, like Pigsy carrying his wife on his back; he looked both stupid and funny.

The little girls couldn't help themselves and burst out laughing.

I burst out laughing.

Seeing Xu Damao's unfortunate state, they couldn't be happier.

Their master is Lu Zhenxing.

Who would dare to underestimate them?

This time, they really made their master proud.

Haha!

"They...are all gone?"

Xu Damao finally dared to raise his head when he realized that everything around him had become completely quiet.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that everyone around him had indeed dispersed, and no one was staring at him or making fun of him anymore.

Xu Damao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.

It was so hard for him; this day was absolutely unbearable.

I just wanted to flirt with the girl and have some fun.

Who knew that what I would get in return would be such torment, both physically and mentally, there was no part of me that felt good.

Is God playing a trick on him?!

Ugh! I might as well just kill him!

Just as Xu Damao was getting angry, several young girls gathered around him, their faces showing concern.

"Uncle Xu, are you alright?"

After saying that, their eyes widened and they stared straight at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's face immediately changed color when he saw them.

In the past, when he saw these little girls, nothing else came to mind.

But now, after all this commotion, when he sees this group of troublemakers again, he feels nothing but frustration and anger.

Xu Damao jumped up from the ground and started cursing at them.

"How dare you show your face in front of me? I've become like this entirely because of you! You've ruined me, you're all scoundrels!"

"Why didn't you tell me before paying for everyone in the hotel? Do you know how much I paid? Three hundred yuan! A whole three hundred yuan!"

"Now I've lost three hundred yuan, and I'm practically dead from all this trouble. It's all your fault! You guys are jinxes!"

Xu Damao roared until his face turned red and his neck bulged.

"I hate you all! Get out of here right now!"

"Don't let me see you again!"

"Get out! All of you get out! Get far away!"

Xu Damao had been holding this in for far too long.

Now all that energy is being poured onto these little girls.

It wasn't just because he felt it was all their fault.

Furthermore, if he gets angry at someone, he might get beaten up.

But if you get angry at these little girls, it's a completely different story.

He's a grown man, and these girls combined can't beat him.

So he can curse however he wants and vent his anger however he wants.

In Xu Damao's case, there is absolutely no concept of bullying the weak.

He doesn't care about anything else as long as he's happy.

Xu Damao no longer cared about principles; his mind was already a mess from the heat of the moment, and all he could think about was venting.

Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Tears welled up in their eyes, and they all bowed deeply to Xu Damao.

"Uncle Xu, we're so sorry, we really didn't mean it. We didn't know you cared so much about those three hundred yuan, we thought you didn't care about such a small amount of money at all."

"You said it yourself before, that you're rich, that you're a big shot. Who would have thought you couldn't even part with three hundred yuan?"

"Or are you saying you're rich but incredibly stingy? Or that you're actually broke and were just bragging all along?"

After he finished speaking, the girls stared at Xu Damao with puzzled expressions, waiting for him to give an explanation.

This question left Xu Damao completely dumbfounded.

He stood frozen in place, like a piece of wood.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

How do I answer that?

It's a trap no matter how you look at it.

Are you suggesting I make him admit: Yes, I am both stingy and rich?

Or to put it another way: Yes, I'm just pretending to be rich so I can trick you into sleeping with me.

You can't tell either of them!

Xu Damao licked his lips, his throat was dry, and he swallowed hard.

His eyes darted around, and he didn't dare look the girls in the eye.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he felt an urge to slap himself hard across the face.

Why am I so quick to speak?

He actually told those girls to get lost and never appear in front of him again.

But if they really leave, how will Xu Damao pick up girls?

How am I supposed to get my hands on these girls?

This is his biggest goal today!

Besides, everything has a cost.

Although he didn't pay the three hundred yuan voluntarily, he had indeed spent three hundred yuan to woo these girls.

That's three hundred yuan!

The greater the cost, the more valuable it becomes.

Now, in Xu Damao's eyes, getting these girls is a matter of utmost importance.

If he can't handle them today, Xu Damao isn't a real man!

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, his face contorted in pain.

But the girls opposite him didn't wait for his reply at all. Instead, they showed expressions of guilt and bowed in unison.

"Uncle Xu, it's all our fault. We'll never bother you again."

"We're leaving, and we won't even glance at you again. We'll pretend we never met."

"They're gone, they're gone, never to be seen again."

The girls turned and left quickly and decisively.

Xu Damao was dumbfounded on the spot.

After spending so much money, the duck that was almost in our mouth is about to fly away?

This won't do!

He was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead. He slapped his thigh and rushed over to stop the person.

"No, no, no! You can't leave! If you leave, all that 300 yuan I spent today will have been wasted!"

"You're all staying today, no matter what. Nobody's getting away!"

"You guys are so unfair! I spent three hundred yuan, and you're trying to run away? That's going too far!"

Xu Damao glared at them, blocking their way and refusing to budge.

The girls looked at each other, completely bewildered.

The leader asked, frowning.

"Uncle Xu, you're making it sound like we're going to renege on our debt."

"You told us to get lost, so why aren't you leaving?"

"We're not the kind of shameless people who would refuse to leave after being chased away."

As she spoke, a hint of grievance appeared on her face.

Others echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, you were the one who asked us to leave first."

"You said such awful things and then told us to get lost."

"Don't be fooled by our apology. We don't even know what we did wrong. We only apologized because we wanted to save face for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao became even angrier.

"You still don't realize you're wrong?"

"You're completely wrong!"

The young girl in the lead immediately retorted.

"Where did we go wrong? Didn't you say you were rich and powerful?"

"If that's the case, three hundred yuan is nothing to you, why are you getting so angry?"

"Or are you actually broke and just pretending to be rich?"

She stared at Xu Damao, her face full of suspicion.

The other girls also looked on with suspicion.

A group of people asked coldly.

"You're pretending to be rich to fool us, what are you really up to?"

After he finished speaking, everyone took three steps back in unison, looking at Xu Damao with wary expressions.

Xu Damao was speechless.

He had always viewed the issue from his own perspective, believing that these young girls had wronged him.

But now, thinking about what they said, I was completely stunned.

The group of girls didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

Ultimately, it was Xu Damao himself who made a big show of things, boasting that he was rich.

If he hadn't been showing off, how would these young girls have dared to treat the entire hotel to dinner?

He wouldn't get beaten up, and he wouldn't have wasted 300 yuan.

Let's follow this line of thought and sort it out—

Was it all his own doing?

Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

I have nowhere to vent my frustration, I can't just take it out on myself, can I?

Ugh, what incredibly bad luck!

Xu Damao took a deep breath, suppressing the pent-up frustration.

The most important thing right now is to stop these girls.

At least make sure he doesn't lose everything today.

"Um... I don't mean to blame you, I just feel sorry for you!"

Xu Damao's mind raced, and he immediately changed his tune.

His face, which had been full of anger, instantly transformed into a smile.

He quickly added:

"Think about it, a group of young girls behaving so openly makes them easy targets for bad guys."

"I was worried about your safety, that's why I was so anxious and upset, it really wasn't about the three hundred yuan!"

After speaking, Xu Damao puffed out his chest and adopted a superior posture.

"As you all know, I, Xu Damao, am a respectable person, and I don't care about this little bit of money."

"Someone like me, how could I possibly get angry over three hundred dollars? That's impossible!"

"Heh, heh heh—"

A group of girls listened, their faces showing a mixture of belief and skepticism.

Are you telling the truth?

Xu Damao nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

"It really is real, more real than real gold!"

The girls looked at each other, then nodded and said generously:

"Okay, I'll trust you this time."

"We adults are magnanimous and won't hold it against you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao finally felt relieved.

Immediately afterwards, that evil thought emerged.

His eyes darted around, leering at the young girl in front of him.
