A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 55 Why Beat Up Young Master Lu?

Ma Yue didn't know when she started to fear Wu Cheng.

When Wu Cheng was dating her, she treated him like a disposable tool, only coming and going at his beck and call.

At that time, Wu Cheng took on several part-time jobs just to make her life a little better.

So at that time, Ma Yue was in a high position.

Ma Yue now felt like she was crawling at Wu Cheng's feet, without any dignity.

She didn't dare look at Wu Cheng, and kept her head down, waiting quietly for him to speak.

Looking at Ma Yue, Wu Cheng felt both hatred and pity.

This is the consequence of being a gold digger.

Lacking the ability to pursue things that can only be obtained through ability is like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water—ultimately, it's all for naught.

Wu Cheng called out to Ma Yue, originally intending to make a sarcastic remark to her, but seeing her like this, he couldn't even muster the desire to do so.

He simply said, "Never mind, you can go."

Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked away as if she had been granted a pardon. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back to look at Xiao Qin and asked Wu Cheng, "Is this your new girlfriend?"

Wu Cheng didn't speak, but Xiao Qin quickly answered, "Yes, that's me."

Ma Yue has only average looks, maybe a 7 out of 10 in terms of appearance. She's good at dressing up, but she's not really considered pretty.

Xiaoqin, on the other hand, was quite beautiful. Although she wasn't as stunning as Gu Qiushuang or Hao Xiachan, she had her own unique charm.

Compared to Xiaoqin, Ma Yue seemed to have her beauty filter suddenly removed, and she paled in comparison.

Xiaoqin came over, hooked her arm around Wu Cheng's, leaned against him, and looked at Ma Yue defiantly: "Do you have any other questions?"

Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, Ma Yue realized there was no point in staying any longer and decided to leave for good.

Xiaoqin called out from behind her, "Thank you for the 'nice guy' card."

Ma Yue heard it clearly and almost tripped and fell.

Even after Ma Yue had walked away, Xiao Qin still clung to Wu Cheng's arm and refused to let go.

Wu Cheng took a step to the side: "Alright, that's enough."

Xiaoqin was a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled and said, "Brother, seriously, how about I be your girlfriend?"

This was a difficult question, and Wu Cheng didn't know how to answer it, so he simply pretended to be clueless and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, let's talk about buying a house. Give me a bank account number, and I'll transfer the money to you."

Xiaoqin said, "I'm not selling it anymore."

"Huh? Why? It's not even a problem that it's not Lu Dongyang anymore, so why aren't you selling it?"

"That's right. Now that Lu Dongyang's troubles are resolved, the house is safe. Why should I rush to sell it?"

This reason left Wu Cheng speechless. It was true. Xiaoqin sold the house to avoid Lu Dongyang. Now that Lu Dongyang had been taught a lesson by him, he probably wouldn't do anything to Xiaoqin for the time being, so Xiaoqin didn't need to sell the house anymore.

It seems I've wasted my time.

Seeing Wu Cheng standing there in a daze, Xiaoqin chuckled and said, "I'm not selling this house to you, but you can move in anytime. Do you really need to pay to buy it to feel at ease?"

"If you really become my boyfriend, I can even give you the house."

One sentence almost made Wu Cheng stumble and fall.

Xiaoqin took out a set of keys and handed them to Wu Cheng: "Anyway, I don't usually live there, so you can move into that house anytime."

Wu Cheng took the keys: "I can't just live here for free. How about this, you be my landlord, and I'll pay you rent every month."

"Deal," Xiaoqin smiled slyly, "but you don't mind the landlord coming to check on the cleanliness of your room from time to time, do you?"

……

Wu Cheng has been living in the old house for three days now. Everything has been peaceful during these three days. The four villains seem to have forgotten their mission and haven't come to bother Wu Cheng.

Living in this old house, practicing the Star River Body Refining Technique while tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, life was quite pleasant.

The only thing that bothered Wu Cheng was the presence of rats in the house.

Moreover, they were large rats. Wu Cheng had seen several rats that were bigger than cats. They were not afraid of people and swaggered past Wu Cheng several times, as if they didn't care about him at all.

Wu Cheng wasn't afraid of rats, but Jin Wanliang reacted very strongly.

It made a huge fuss, insisting that Wu Cheng catch those rats.

This made Wu Cheng quite frustrated.

Jin Wanliang is the cat, and I am the human. Originally, weren't humans the ones who let cats catch mice? How come the roles have been reversed, and now the cat is letting humans catch mice?

"Kid, don't be so unconvinced. All the decisions I make are for your benefit. Do you even know what kind of rats these are?"

"I don't know. I only know about field mice and house mice. Oh right, there are also sky rats, ground rats... and one-eared rats, and its uncle, the cat-eating rat."

"Pah!" Jin Wanliang slapped Wu Cheng with his paw. "If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense here. Let me tell you, among these big rats, isn't there one with a tuft of white fur on its head and golden ears?"

"That's a medicine-hunting rat. These treasure-hunting rats won't come without precious medicine, so there must be precious medicine in this old house."

These words tempted Wu Cheng.

"What kind of treasure is this 'precious medicine'? Is it valuable?"

"How can I be sure without seeing it? But I do know that if the medicine-hunting rats are out there, this precious medicine is definitely the right one. If you can find it, I can reward you with 100 gold coins."

"And this 100 gold coins is not restricted by your membership level, meow."

done.

Even without the 100 gold coins, Wu Cheng was still going to do it.

He is now desperate to make money, and feels that there is never enough money. The 1 million he has is only enough to upgrade his Body Refining Technique once, and there are far too many places to spend money in the future.

However, Wu Cheng didn't have any good ideas on how to catch mice.

He searched online and found many methods for catching mice.

Some say they found a rat hole and smoked it in with cigarettes; others say they caught a rat and stuffed soybeans behind its rear end; still others say they caught a female rat as hostage and waited for the other rats to come and rescue it.

Each method claimed to be personally tested and effective, which Wu Cheng admired, but it did not help Wu Cheng's current situation in the slightest.

After thinking it over, Wu Cheng had no choice but to try making a few traps himself, putting some cheese in them, since mice in cartoons love to eat cheese.

But if you put the cheese in the trap at night, and then check it the next morning, the cheese will surely be gone. There are no mice in the trap, and what's even more infuriating is that the mice are defecating in the trap.

Wu Cheng sensed a strong sense of mockery among these rat droppings. Clearly, these were highly intelligent rats who not only ate the bait but also deliberately left something behind to annoy Wu Cheng.
