Scumbag Chapter 192 The Real Young Master Doesn’t Care For The Crematorium Trope (14)
Added 2025-07-17 12:24:37 +0000 UTCBy the age of 17, Mingting had already completed all four years of university credits and was directly admitted as a graduate student at the same school.
When he was about to enter his second year of graduate school, Lu Minghua and Miao Rui took the college entrance examination.
Perhaps their high school romance had been too sweet and distracting, affecting their studies, their test scores were not as good as in the original timeline.
Lu Minghua was admitted to a first-tier university, while Miao Rui's score was only enough for a second-tier university.
Miao Wei wanted to send his daughter abroad for studies, and Miao Rui was also very tempted. She discussed with Lu Minghua enthusiastically and said, “Let’s go study abroad together!”
But how could Lu Minghua dare to go abroad?!
Mingting is already a graduate student at this age, and the detective said that he might graduate early again.
Lu Minghua was terrified that if he went abroad, Mingting would be found by the Lu Family the moment he left.
By the time he was overseas, it’d be too late to do anything… how could he secure his position in the family then?
So he coaxed and persuaded Miao Rui for a long time, finally convincing her to stay and keep him company.
Miao Wei had long heard about his daughter’s closeness with Lu Minghua. At first, he didn’t pay much attention … After all, who didn’t have a first love in their youth?
But now, his daughter was actually willing to give up her future for Lu Minghua. Miao Wei was furious.
Lu Minghua is just an adopted son of the Lu Family. If he were the biological grandson of Grandpa Lu, his status might have been suitable for Miao Rui.
But an adopted son is not okay.
While Lu Minghua could often be seen at Lu Song’s side, if the real grandson of the Lu Family is found back in the future, he’d be nothing.
Miao Rui had thought her father doted on her and would surely like Lu Minghua. But to her shock, Miao Wei was firmly against it.
“You people are so calculating! So materialistic! I won’t go abroad, and I’m staying with Lu Minghua!"
Miao Rui slammed her bedroom door shut.
In order to get Miao Wei to agree, she started a hunger strike.
The elders on both sides had always spoiled Miao Rui. Seeing that their granddaughter refusing to eat, all four elders gathered to coax her. Grandpa Miao even scolded Miao Wei harshly.
In the end, Miao Wei had no choice but to give in.
However, when it came to dating, he absolutely refused to compromise.
Miao Wei’s stance it that, her daughter can date Lu Minghua, just think of it as him playing with her for a few years, but if she wanted to get married with him, that's impossible.
Little did Miao Wei know, Miao Rui would tell Lu Minghua exactly what he said.
After learning about Miao Wei’s attitude, Lu Minghua’s eyes darkened.
He’d always known these people looked down on him. Because he wasn’t the Lu Family’s real grandson, he was just a bronze ware covered in gold paint.
Seeing Miao Rui's innocent and spoiled face, Lu Minghua lifted her long hair.
‘Didn't Miao Wei look down on me? Then I had to become the son-in-law of the Miao Family and the head of the Miao Family in the future.’
When Fengtian told Mingting that Miao Rui had been coaxed by Lu Minghua into tasting the forbidden fruit, Mingting was surprised at first, but then he felt it made sense.
‘That Miao Wei probably never imagined that, despite a father’s best efforts to protect his daughter, his little cabbage would still end up willingly led astray by the pig.’
When the Male and Female Leads were in their freshman year and enjoyed a relaxed and happy college life, Mingting was busy with his graduation project.
On May 1st, he was called back to Guiyi Temple by Grandpa Xiang’s phone call.
The reason was that a tourism company saw that there were so many worshippers in Guiyi Temple now, so they had the idea of setting up tourist attractions here.
The tourism company sent people to negotiate with Abbot Hongde.
They would pay to help Guiyi Temple’s renovations, set up a ticket booth at the entrance, and handle all the paperwork. They would even share profits with the temple in the future.
The representatives specifically mentioned Guiyi Temple’s vegetarian meals as a highlight, proposing to build a vegetarian restaurant next to it.
Of course, Abbot Hongde refused directly.
Although Guiyi Temple was indeed a bit rundown, as some beams and pillars in the rooms were rotting and needed major repairs, that didn’t mean it should become a money-making tool for the tourism company.
Grandpa Xiang told Mingting about this, and he immediately took a bus back to Guiyi Temple.
After going up the mountain, Mingting handed a card to Abbot Hongde.
Inside was the money he’d earned over the years from selling games. The four small games he made had sold for seven million, which should be enough for funding Guiyi Temple’s renovations.
"Master, don’t worry. I’ve got this!” Mingting said cheerfully.
Back then, he’d chosen computer science for two reasons. First, he wanted to do something for missing children, and second, he wanted to earn money to renovate Guiyi Temple.
This is his home, and it is natural to contribute to his home.
After learning the origin of the money, Abbot Hongde stared at the 19-year-old for a long, long time before reaching out with his thin, aged hand to touch his face.
‘What is this?’
‘Planting good seeds to reap good fruit?’
With this money, Guiyi Temple began its renovations.
The senior brothers who had grown up under Master Hongde’s care, who are now working in construction or as carpenters, returned to help. Mingting specifically instructed them to install internet cables.
Mingjue also graduated from culinary school.
Instead of opening a restaurant or becoming a chef, he returned to Guiyi Temple to specialize in vegetarian meals. Mingjue said this was his home, and working at home felt right.
After resolving Guiyi Temple’s financial issues, Mingting returned to school.
His master’s graduation project was related to anti-kidnapping.
He designed software that could be used on phones, smartwatches, or even made into chips that can be hidden in keychains, backpack straps, or fixed into shoe heels. It can also be carried everywhere, which is very convenient.
The chip contained detailed information like the name, age, family, school, and work unit of the person involved.
The other end is linked to the public security system. If an emergency occurred, the police station will directly receive an alarm and find the person involved based on the GPS.
Mingting had spent two years designing this. During the holidays, he was recommended by his mentor to work in the public security department for a long time. He’d incorporated real-world human trafficking tactics and repeatedly tested it before finalizing the product.
After receiving the affirmation from his mentor, Mingting donated the design to the country free of charge.
Although he could have profited from this design, Mingting's original intention was to reduce incidents of child and women trafficking.
He also had no material desires, and he believed the country could better utilize the design to help more people.
Because of this act, Mingting caught the attention of the National Security Ministry, which offered him a position in the security department. However, he declined.
The original owner's wish was to become a monk and let people know that his cooking was delicious.
Mingting had come for the mission, so he naturally wouldn’t go against the original owner’s wishes.
However, Mingting still accepted an honorary position in the security department, saying he could be contacted whenever needed.
