A Scumbag Always Gets What He Deserves

Lei Zhe strode towards the castle, passed by Garcia, and said in a cold tone: "Don't be sentimental, this performance is not for you. Your smile that requires others to spend countless gold coins to buy, in the I'm worthless in my eyes!"

Garcia shrugged, not hurt by the words at all.

"Honey, you're so naive!" she shot back.

Lei Zhe sneered and continued walking inside.

After returning to the banquet hall, the butler presented the cloth bag left by Prince Andre and the ring with the Grand family emblem engraved on it on a tray.

Lei Zhe took back the ring, waved his hand and said, "Take this pile of gold coins to reward those dwarfs. I am very satisfied with their performance."

The steward bowed to his command.

Lei Zhe put the ring on his ring finger, then leaned back on the sofa, and slowly turned the lion head ring that Jian Qiao gave him on his thumb.His brain was still reminiscing about the parting scene before, dizziness and turbulent emotions washed over his heart like waves.

He lowered his head, with a blissful smile, kissed the blood diamond embedded in the lion's mouth.

At this moment, the female dwarf named Zoe walked up timidly and tremblingly, her voice trembling: "My lord, we have just received your reward, so I am here to thank you on behalf of everyone. You Your generosity is unparalleled, thank you!"

Lei Zhe caressed the blood diamond with downcast eyes, and responded casually. His two overly long legs were casually placed on the round table, and his posture was very lazy.

It could be seen that today's performance really pleased him.Now he is like a well-fed lion, with a sense of comfort and leisure all over his body.

Zooey carefully observed his mood, so she became bolder, knelt down, and whispered: "My lord, after the performance, we received invitations from many nobles. They hoped that we could also perform at their residences He said he would give us a lot of gold coins. My lord, will you allow me? We can give you all the gold coins we got from the performance, and I just ask you to reward us with a few white breads every day."

Being raised as livestock, they naturally ate rice bran, wheat husks, rotten vegetable leaves and other hard-to-swallow things.

Before being sold into the duke's mansion, they didn't even know what it was like to sleep on the bed.A rough, weed-filled stable is often the habitat for people like them.

Such a huge bag of gold coins was something they had never seen before.Just now, several companions fainted after getting the gold coins.

Rapture and happiness lingered in everyone's heart, and Zoe, who was very courageous, suddenly realized that she had met a very kind master and also found a very good job.

So here she is.She wants to try to see if she can get a better life for her companions, like a normal person, who can eat normal food and live in a normal house.

In the past, Lei Zhe would definitely kick this greedy female dwarf out.In the name of the Duke's Mansion, the family went to perform a drama, what is this for?Transform the ducal mansion into a circus?

The plays he wrote himself can only be performed in his residence for the guests he invites, and people outside don't even think about it.

All great nobles do this.They will only take the best things for themselves, and even snatch other people's good things, and then use these good things as a symbol of their identity and status.

However, when Lei Zhe raised his head with an angry expression, he suddenly thought of Jian Qiao.He thought of his submission and compromise, as well as his tenderness and kindness.

So his cheeks tensed for a moment, and then he said in a heavy tone: "Yes, but you can only accept invitations from nobles who are equal to or higher in status than the Duke's Mansion. Before you leave, you must obtain the consent of the housekeeper , otherwise you are not allowed to leave without authorization.”

It was the biggest concession he could make.If any cat or dog can invite the dwarf in the Duke's mansion to perform, then what is he as the master?The head of the circus?

Zooey was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you master! Thank you master! You are so kind! God will definitely bless you!"

What a happy life it is to be able to eat several sweet and soft white breads every day!God will envy them when he sees them, right?

Zooey was about to shed tears of joy.

Lei Zhe was impatient to listen to these flattering words, and waved his hand to send Zooey away.Hearing the ecstatic screams of the dwarfs outside the door, he couldn't help but smile.

He didn't realize that a corner of his hard heart had collapsed, revealing the softness inside.

---

At the same moment, Jian Qiao was sitting in the carriage, closing her eyes and remembering the performance just now.Of course, what he paid attention to was not the noise on the stage, but every little move of Lei Zhe sitting beside him.

The man peeked at his side face frequently, his eyes full of tension.The man went from excited anticipation to down and down.The man sent himself into the carriage, like a child who had done something wrong, avoiding looking at him.

This scene, every frame, can make Jian Qiao laugh from the bottom of her heart.

So he raised the corners of his lips and smiled quietly.

Opening his eyes, lowering his head, seeing the sapphire ring on his ring finger, he naturally thought of Lei Zhe's blue eyes, so he smiled again.

Back at the hotel, when he took off Lei Zhe's cloak, he stroked the soft fabric and smiled again.

Jian Qiao was laughing all the time, every fragment about Lei Zhe that flashed in his mind, and every item from Lei Zhe stored around him could make him smile knowingly.

No one has ever cared about his feelings like Lei Zhe.

He still remembered the phone call with his father in his previous life when he was deeply depressed and was about to collapse from exhaustion.He asked for help on the phone. He had to find a psychiatrist for himself, but he couldn't afford the treatment fee of hundreds of dollars an hour as a minor.

He thought that when he was about to die of illness, his father would at least soften his heart a little bit.

But that person was on the other end of the phone, and said in an extremely indifferent voice: "You really are the seed of your mother, and you love to use these dirty tricks! Depression will kill you, so you can die. I won't Waste of money on you."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Qiao fell into even more hopeless darkness.At that time, he thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life, without hope, without warmth, without light.

But now, the hope, warmth and light that he thought he would never get, but someone tried his best to squeeze it into his hands.

Thinking of this, Jian Qiao smiled again, but there were slight tears in her eyes.

This night, after waking up from the nightmare, he didn't seem so frightened anymore.

----

Time passed by, and Jian Qiao finally signed a contract to purchase grain with several big lords around Desolet City.

When he put down the quill and shook hands with several great lords, one of them suddenly said enthusiastically, "Let's go hunting. The venison is at its most tender now."

Jian Qiao who fainted at the sight of blood: "..."

He had no room to refuse at all, because several great lords immediately changed into hunting clothes, took up weapons, brought hounds and knights, and was ready to set off.

The servant also brought a suit of hunting suits for Jian Qiao.If he spoiled the interest of these people, something might go wrong with the contract just signed.

With nowhere to go, Jian Qiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, and said with a forced smile, "Can I invite another friend?"

So Lei Zhe came.

With a huge longbow on his back, he led a group of wildly barking hounds, followed by several knights as strong as iron towers, and rushed to the hunting ground as quickly as possible.

He got off his horse, strode towards Jian Qiao, hugged her into his arms with his strong arms, and whispered while laughing loudly: "Don't worry, I have everything. I won't let you see the blood and faint in full view Next. I will protect your decency."

Jian Qiao's pale cheeks were finally stained with a blush again, and the cold hands and feet also recovered a little temperature.He said in a hoarse voice with his throat dry from nervousness, "Ray, thank you. It's great that you can come."

He looked up at his only friend, pursed his thin lips, and showed a very faint smile.

Lei Zhe rubbed the dimples on his cheeks with his fingertips, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Don't worry, just follow me." He urged again.

After going up the mountain, Lei Zhe took Jian Qiao away from the hunting team in the name of splitting up.

"We'll wait here. They'll blow their horns at the assembly point after dark, and then we'll be able to go back." Lei Zhe got off his horse by the side of a mountain stream.

The scenery here is the most beautiful in his opinion.He likes the sound of the rushing water hitting the rocks, and also likes the mist of the diffuse water vapor covering the valley.

Jian Qiao jumped off the horse and asked worriedly: "If you didn't catch the prey, you will be laughed at by them, right?"

He knew that the favorite thing these great nobles usually do is to compare.Comparing wealth, status, power, women, achievements... Comparing everything, and Lei Zhe is so competitive.

"It's okay. For you, it doesn't matter if they laugh at you." Lei Zhe walked towards the mountain stream with a very casual tone.

Hearing this sentence, Jian Qiao couldn't help laughing.He caught up with Lei Zhe, and then inevitably saw the meandering river.There are foaming waves above the water surface, and there are swirling undercurrents below the water surface, and the sound of rumbling water resounds all over the sky.

Such a scene brought Jian Qiao back to the original nightmare in an instant.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that besides being afraid of blood, he was also afraid of water.The fear hidden deep in his subconscious made him avoid all rivers and lakes in his life.So he never found this weakness.

Having reached the edge of the mountain stream, his face turned pale, and then he backed away in a hurry.

But the wet stone covered with moss was too slippery, and he fell headlong in panic.

With a plop, he fell into the water, but as if he had fallen into lava, he felt a burning pain.The water flooded his mouth and nose, robbing him of his breath. Fear, like a monster, emerged from the undercurrent to attack him.

"Help me!" He opened his mouth, trying to shout these two words, but choked on more cold water.

The rush of the current carried him downstream, crashing against rocks along the river bottom, the pain getting worse every time, and at one point it would kill him.

Just when the god of death grabbed his neck and wanted to drag him to hell, a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist and brought him to the shining water.

It's Lei Zhe.

Jian Qiao immediately clung to the other person, like a vine clinging to a big tree that could give her more living space.
