Su Chen was in a good mood when he came out of the school and took the carriage back. He looked at the streets and buildings receding outside the car window with a raised smile at the corner of his mouth.
What is the difference between cultivating immortality and cultivating martial arts? Su Chen believes that the two are not in the same world. Immortal cultivators can live as long as heaven and coexist with earth; martial arts can only last a few hundred years at most. How can they agree?
Now it seems that he is obsessed with it.
He is Su Xuanyin, but to the living people, he is also Su Chen. He is afraid that his relatives and friends will no longer be around him in a hundred years, so he just lets them cultivate immortality together.
"This is not the way to your house."
Huang Qiaoqian suddenly spoke.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Go to Duobao Shop and take some samples."
After a pause, he added: "Mother asked me to take you back when I picked you up."
Huang Qiaoqian blinked, and the figure of a plump mature woman appeared in her mind...
Duobaohang is located in the most prosperous area of the city. It is decorated like a palace. You can even glimpse it from a distance. Its grandeur is even less than that of the city lord's palace.
Of course, with Duobaohang's financial resources and influence, it would be a bit of a mismatch if it were not built like this.
Su Chen took Huang Qiaoqian into the magnificent Duobao Store, negotiated with the maid who received her, and was then taken into the VIP reception room to wait.
Not long after, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and a rich middle-aged fat man walked in with a big gold tooth on his face.
"Haha, young city lord, please don't blame Miss Huang for missing her welcome."
Su Chen recognized this fat man, Lu Buwei, the president of Duobao Bank in Nandeng City. In terms of status, he was no lower than his father, the city lord.
"Haha, what do you mean, Mr. Lu, we will have to trouble you a lot when we come here this time." Su Chen laughed and said that he would not have to deal with him in the future. Knowing him now would be helpful in the future.
"Young City Master, you are welcome. The City Master's wife has already told me, please come with me." Lu Buwei glanced at the two of them, made a gesture of invitation, and then turned around to lead the way.
Under the guidance of Lu Buwei, the three of them passed through the guarded gates and finally entered a closed room. The stone walls were as smooth as a mirror and seemed to be empty.
But he walked to the side with ease, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall. With a click, a square suddenly popped up on the smooth stone wall, which was higher than the two of them.
Lu Buwei looked at his figure, then at the wall, and finally turned his head and looked at Su Chen and the two of them eagerly, with an expression that he was hesitant to speak.
Su Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He coughed lightly and said calmly: "Why did mother put things so high? It's true." After saying that, he jumped up and easily reached the height of the grid. He reached out and grabbed it and took out a red wooden box.
Huang Qiaoqian's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and she looked at him with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Lu Buwei came over, looked at Su Chen gratefully, and said, "This is what the city lord's wife kept in our bank. Now it has returned to its original owner."
After getting the things, the two of them naturally said goodbye and left.
Lu Buwei personally escorted them out of the gate of Duobaohang. Looking at the chariot going away, he told the maid beside him in a serious tone, "In the future, if the young city lord comes, he must receive him with VIP-level etiquette and inform me. Do you understand?" "
The maid was shocked, knowing that she should do more and ask less questions, so she responded respectfully, "Yes!"
On the carriage, Huang Qiaoqian stared at Su Chen without hesitation, and the latter felt uncomfortable being stared at.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Qiaoqian calmly withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing."
Su Chen: "..."
baffling.
In the carriage, Su Chen didn't speak, and Huang Qiaoqian remained silent. Her expression was thoughtful, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Until the carriage stopped, the driver's voice came in, "Master, we are here."
When the two got out of the car, a majestic building came into view. Three majestic characters of City Lord's Mansion were hung above the gate.
Entering the mansion, there are rockery pavilions, gardens and flowing water, which are elegant and elegant.
Su Chen took Huang Qiaoqian directly to the dining room. There were already four people sitting at the round table, two men and two women. When they saw the two people appearing, they all stopped talking and looked at them.
"Qiaoqian is here!"
A graceful and beautiful woman stood up, looked at Huang Qiaoqian with her eyes, and praised her: "I haven't seen her for a while, and she looks beautiful again."
"Aunt Qing..."
A blush appeared on Huang Qiaoqian's face, showing a rare shy expression.
Another mature woman showed a full smile, her appearance was somewhat similar to Huang Qiaoqian's, and she looked at Su Chen with her eyes, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, clinked their wine glasses and drank.
Su Chen felt that the atmosphere was not right, it didn't feel like eating.
"Come on, come on, let me take a closer look." After saying that, Shui Muqing came over and took Huang Qiaoqian's hand to sit down. Before leaving, she glanced at Su Chen and said, "What are you still standing for? Find your own seat." sit."
Su Chen: "..."
Mother without a doubt.
While the food was being served, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Su Chen put down his wine glass, straightened his expression, and asked Su Chen with a slightly serious look, "Chen'er, what do you think of Girl Qian?"
"not bad."
Su Chen answered from the bottom of his heart, whether it was before or after rebirth, the original owner and he had a good feeling for Huang Qiaoqian.
Su Zhan turned and looked at Huang Qianyue, then turned around and continued: "That's right, we see that you and Qian Yatou are almost the same age, so the engagement you made when you were children can be fulfilled."
"I called you two together today just to discuss it and get you engaged."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then held his forehead and said with a slight headache: "Father, I was ignorant when I was a child. It can't be true."
In my memory, there was indeed an engagement, but it was the original owner's fault.
However, the original owner, who was as old as six years old, had a dispute with other children when they were playing. The reason was that one of the children of the lovely Huang Qiaoqian said that he would marry her in the future. Perhaps it was the man's possessiveness that caused the two to play together since childhood. Big, Su Chen would not allow other children to take away Huang Qiaoqian.
So that day, he took Huang Qiaoqian with him and found his parents to make a marriage contract. This lovely girl could only be his!
At that time, his parents did not take it seriously. They thought it was an unintentional remark made by their son and it would be fine in two days, so they did not agree. However, the child had a stubborn temper and wouldn't let go if he disagreed, crying and making trouble. Su's father and mother had no choice but to invite the other's parents, and they made an engagement with each other as witnesses.
Maybe no one took it seriously at the time. As time went by, the matter faded away, including the original owner himself.
If Su Chen hadn't read the original owner's memories when he was reborn, he would have been confused by now.
"Why can't you take it seriously?" Su Zhan looked solemn and raised his voice a little, "A man is true to his words. You also think that Qian Yatou is good. Is there anything else to choose from?"
After saying that, Su Zhan narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone with a dangerous tone, "Or do you want to be like the Chen family, who always treats people with chaos but always abandons them?"
As soon as these words came out, the table suddenly became quiet, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
