Scumbag Chapter 214 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (END)

When Miao Wei saw the suicide note left by his daughter in prison, he burst into tears.

Miao Rui confessed that she added something to his milk, and said that she was sorry for her parents and failed the love of her family, so she could only atone with death.

"Ruirui, it's Dad's fault. Dad and Mom spoiled you rotten, never taught you right from wrong..."

His daughter’s death broke him. Overnight, Miao Wei’s hair turned white, and he lost the will to live, confessing everything he knew.

However, his daughter couldn’t just die like this.

Miao Wei contacted his friends and spent a lot of money to change the injection, so that Lu Minghua could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.

Miao Corporation, which is once famous for its medical care, collapsed just like that.

Grandpa Lu did not expect that Miao Rui would retaliate against Lu Minghua in such a fierce way. He guessed she must have been reborn, and that her past life had ended in misery.

With Miao Rui gone, Old Man Lu turned his attention to Lu Minghua.

After waking up, Lu Minghua found himself lying in bed, unable to move, and he nearly lost his mind.

After passing out from pain during a dressing change, the Lu Minghua of the past life was reborn in this ruined body.

His current situation almost made him collapse.

In his past life, he had taken control of both the Lu and Miao Families, wielded power like a king in City A, sent Miao Rui to a mental hospital, and remarried a young wife. It can be said that he had won at life.

Unexpectedly, this time, Miao Rui was reborn first and reduced him to this directly.

With no one footing his exorbitant medical bills, Lu Minghua expected to end up on the streets. Instead, he was dumped in a nursing home.

There, he endured everything the old lady had suffered in her past life: slaps, starvation, scalding water poured on him.

The worst thing was that, whether due to physical trauma or sheer misfortune, Lu Minghua's health problems, which were originally expected to appear when he’s 22, arrived earlier.

This time, no one donated marrow or kidneys to him. Lu Minghua had bedsores on his back and was in so much pain that living every day was torture for him.

And the nurses watched him like hawks, denying him even the mercy of suicide.

"Keep a close eye on him. Don’t let him die! The money will be wired to you monthly."

After arranging everything, Grandpa Lu traveled to Mingting’s childhood home and personally thanked Grandpa and Grandma Xiang.

Across the two lifetimes, this couple had loved and cared for a child not their own, treating Mingting with more warmth than blood relatives ever had.

In the past life, they had passed too soon for him to repay them. This time, Grandpa Lu made sure they knew his gratitude.

Originally, Grandpa Xiang was very angry about what the Lu Family did to Mingting, but seeing that the old man was so old and his attitude was very sincere, he didn't say anything excessive.

The scenery here is beautiful and the temperature is suitable.

So Grandpa Lu simply handed over the charity foundation to professionals, rented a house at the foot of the mountain, and began volunteering at Guiyi Temple.

When Mingting finished his work, he also returned to the temple.

On a crisp autumn day, Guiyi Temple held an ordination ceremony.

Abbot Hongde held a willow branch and gently sprinkled blessed water on Mingting's head.

When Grandpa Lu saw that his grandson sever worldly ties and truly embrace the monastic life, tears flowed down his face.

He did not stop him, nor did he have the right to stop him.

After the ceremony, Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao finally managed to climb their way up the mountain. When they saw their son, who is now bald and dressed in monastic robes, Lu Song's legs softened, and he collapsed to the ground.

He had gone to great lengths to track down Mingting's whereabouts and rushed here as fast as he could, but it was still a step too late.

"Why did it have to come to this? Why?!" Lu Song's eyes were shadowed with dark circles, his face unshaven, "Dad did something wrong, can't I just apologize to you? Dad is really wrong!"

Mingting smiled.

‘Since when does an apology guarantee forgiveness? What kind of shameless moral blackmail is this?!’

The real young master of the Lu Family has become a monk!

This news is no less than a depth bomb, stunning all netizens.

While they had grown accustomed to calling Mingting ‘Little Bhikkhu’, they never actually expected him to take monastic vows! What would happen to the Lu Family now? Who would inherit the Lu Family's culinary legacy?

Moreover, Mingting was a talented individual. Isn't it a waste for him to renounce the secular world like this?

Soon, the government began promoting anti-human-trafficking software, which can be downloaded for free. The official Weibo account even specially mentioned Mingting, thanking him for his selfless donation.

Overnight, Little Bhikkhu Mingting became a nationwide sensation.

Many people flocked to Guiyi Temple to try its vegetarian cuisine. Mingting and Mingjue, the two monastic brothers, became the temple's head chefs.

Now, there is also Grandpa Lu. After receiving the permission of Abbot Hongde, the old man also lives in the temple and has the same schedule as Mingting.

Usually, he will teach Mingting and Mingjue to cook.

The old man no longer intended to keep his skills secret. In the past, he had always held back when teaching apprentices, reserving the authentic Lu Family’s recipes exclusively for the Lu Family’s bloodline. But now, he broke that tradition.

Mingjue's dream of becoming a sailor went unfulfilled, and he became a monk alongside Mingting.

Guiyi Temple's vegetarian meals was verified by many gourmets as truly exceptional. Especially the dishes prepared by Little Bhikku Mingting, as they were so delicious that you could practically swallow your own tongue.

By the time Mingting turned 23, the entire country knew about Guiyi Temple in the southern province, home to a monk named Mingting whose vegetarian dishes were absolutely unparalleled.

After fulfilling the original owner’s wishes, Mingting fully embraced his laid back lifestyle.

On the contrary, Mingjue cheerfully studied cooking under Grandpa Lu, addressing him as master with endless enthusiasm.

Grandpa Lu lived to the age of 85. On his deathbed, he specifically asked to speak privately with Mingting.

"You're not Xiao Ting, are you? Where did Xiao Ting go?"

The old man's eyes were cloudy, and his hands were tightly holding Mingting.

This perceptive old man had noticed the differences between Mingting and his grandson from early on after arriving at Guiyi Temple but had never questioned it.

Now, facing death, he finally sought an answer.

After consulting with Fengtian, Mingting revealed the truth about the wish-maker to Grandpa Lu.

"Thank you... thank you for fulfilling Xiao Ting's wishes."

Upon learning that becoming a monk and cooking were his grandson's true desires, the old man laughed through his tears, "In the cabinet, there are notes I've compiled over decades in the culinary industry, along with the Lu Family’s recipes. I leave them to you as thanks."

"I wonder... after death, will I get to see Xiao Ting again?"

With these final words, Grandpa Lu closed his eyes.

Before his passing, the old man had already settled all his affairs. He donated his charitable foundation to the state, leaving not a single cent to his wife or Lu Song.

He requested a simple funeral, with his ashes scattered at sea.

Lu Song and He Qiaoqiao treated the old lady decently in this lifetime, but after her experiences in the previous life, she held onto her shares and personal assets tightly.

When she heard of Grandpa Lu's death and learned that he had left no remains, leaving no memento for her, she fell gravely ill.

After lying in the hospital for a month, the old lady also passed away.

He Qiaoqiao had assumed they would inherit the old lady's estate, but she followed Grandpa Lu's example, bequeathing everything to the state.

Resentful of how her son and daughter-in-law had treated her in the past life, and even more embittered that her son had broken Grandpa Lu's heart, the old lady arranged for an agent to handle her funeral. Her ashes were also scattered at sea.

He Qiaoqiao was devastated, but Lu Song accepted it all with surprising calm. He still owned property and held shares in the family restaurant.

While not extravagantly wealthy, he was far better off than most.

After sending away Abbot Hongde and Grandpa Xiang and Grandma Xiang, Mingting chose to leave this world.

Parents passing away in old age was something one could come to terms with, but Lu Song never expected his son to die young again in this lifetime. The shock was too much for him.

Following Grandpa Lu's path, he became a volunteer at Guiyi Temple and later took up residence as a lay Buddhist.

No matter how much He Qiaoqiao wept or protested, Lu Song remained at the temple, refusing to leave.
