Shu watched himself in the mirror.
Although he can't be called a handsome guy in the real sense, his skin is fair and his facial features are not outstanding, but if you look at him more, you will find that he is quite pleasing to the eye.
Paired with a well-fitting gray suit, the whole person looks unusually tall and straight, and has a very special and refined temperament that is unforgettable at first sight.
That is the outstanding temperament of a practitioner.
In short, if we talk about image alone, Shu Guan feels that even if an ordinary prospective father-in-law sees him, he can't give himself a hundred points, but it is definitely above the passing line.
Then Shuguan took out another box of hair wax.
This box of hair wax imported from the Lan Kingdom was also bought for him by Rong Miao, but Shu Guan never opened it.
Holding the box of hair wax at this time, Shu Guan hesitated for a long time, finally opened the lid of the box for the first time, took out a handful from inside, and applied it on his hair.
For Miaomiao!
He comforted himself in his heart.
Although he is somewhat incapable of accepting the matter of wearing hair wax, the problem is that in this era, in general upper-class gatherings, adult men basically wear hair wax.
If you don't wipe it off, you will only be considered slovenly.
In the past, it didn't matter if I was in a shabby state, as long as I was regarded as slovenly, I would rather not be slovenly.
But today I am going to see Rong Miao's father, and I have to leave a good impression on him. Although I don't know what Rong Miao's father's requirements are for appearance, there is nothing wrong with putting it on first.
But don't tell me, after applying the hair wax, the self in the mirror looks a lot more energetic.
It's just that it really doesn't fit in with Shu Guan's aesthetics.
After taking another look at himself in the mirror, Shu Guan finally went out.
The time agreed upon for dinner with Rong Miao's father was 5:30 pm.
When Shu Guan went out, he raised his hand and looked at the time. It was 4:45 pm, which was still early.
So he ran a little slowly.
Rong Miaoding's restaurant is the Jasmine Western Restaurant in the Falan Concession. It is only seven or eight miles away from Xintaoyuan Village. It usually takes two minutes to run to Shuguan.
However, it is the most basic etiquette to arrive a few minutes early, let alone to meet the prospective father-in-law, so Shu Guan felt that it was just right to go out at this time.
Five minutes later, he appeared at the intersection of the street next to Jasmine Restaurant.
Thanks to the hair wax on her head, Shu Guan didn't have a single hair out of place today.
Then he pretended to call a rickshaw and asked the confused rickshaw driver to take him to the Jasmine Restaurant on the next street dozens of meters away.
When I arrived outside the restaurant, I found that Rong Miao was already waiting outside the restaurant.
Today she wore a pure white chiffon dress, with a burgundy silk scarf tied around her slender neck. Her dress was simple yet grand, full of elegance and charm.
Seeing Shu Guan arriving, Rong Miao smiled and waved to him.
Shu Guan quickly got out of the car, gave the driver a silver dollar as hush money, and then walked quickly to Rong Miao.
Rong Miao looked him up and down, with a satisfied and sweet smile on her face.
"My father is easy to talk to, so don't worry too much."
Then Rong Miao smiled and said something to him.
A father is naturally easy to talk to his daughter, but not necessarily to his son-in-law.
Shu Guan muttered in his heart.
But he was really a little nervous.
Thinking about it, I was a man who once cut through a large river with a sword. Now I am still nervous when I go to meet a mortal old man.
Of course, for Rong Miao's father, no matter how sharp his sword is or how powerful his fist is, it is of no use.
Seeing Shu Guan's nervousness at this time, Rong Miao smiled sweetly and reached out to hold his arm.
Shu Guan was startled.
"That's not good……"
Although the two usually have intimate behaviors between lovers except for the one that is not real, they have long since
Have done it all.
But for the first time meeting my prospective father-in-law, holding arms so intimately, wouldn’t it be a bit...well, too disrespectful to my father-in-law?
"that's all!"
Rong Miao insisted on tightening the hand holding Shuguan's arm, and then the two walked into the door of Jasmine Restaurant.
…
Rong Duanfu is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his early forties. He is actually older, but because he takes good care of himself, he looks much younger.
He is thin and handsome, wearing a navy blue double-breasted suit. He looks elegant yet shrewd, full of the charm and style of a mature man.
You can get a glimpse of this from the scorching gazes that occasionally drift toward him, from the single women in their early twenties or forties sitting in the Jasmine Restaurant.
The most important thing is that Rong Duanfu didn't put on hair wax!
This discovery made Shu Guan slightly embarrassed.
And the image of Rong Duanfu is also very different from the image of the bad old man he originally imagined.
Rong Miao took Shu Guan's arm and walked to the dining table.
"Dad, this is the Shuguan I told you about."
Rong Miao introduced Shu Guan.
Rong Duanfu, who was leisurely drinking red wine before dinner, raised his head and glanced at his daughter's hand holding the young man's arm.
Then he looked Shuguan up and down, smiled at Shuguan, pointed to the chair opposite and said:
"You are the friend Miaomiao always mentions to me every time she writes. Please sit down."
He didn't stand up to greet me, but his attitude was quite kind.
"Hello, Uncle Rong."
Shu Guan also smiled and bowed, then helped Rong Miao pull out the chair before sitting down himself.
This careful action of his made Rong Duanfu take another look at him.
Then Shu Guan and Rong Duanfu sat opposite each other, while Rong Miao sat in the middle and side of the two people.
Rong Duanfu raised his hand to signal the waiter to serve the dishes.
Shu Guan discovered that he actually spoke very pure Falan Mandarin.
For the next hour, the atmosphere of the meal was quite pleasant and relaxed. Rong Duanfu was indeed a very charming person, his words were humorous and he was knowledgeable. Although he always revealed some majesty, it was not embarrassing. .
The Rong family is the top business family in the Republic of China. The words "rich enough to rival the country" are not an adjective for the Rong family, but are just words to describe a certain fact.
As the head of such a family, Rong Duanfu is indeed an extraordinary man.
At least, when his daughter brought a boyfriend who was just a small policeman to him, Rong Duanfu didn't show any displeasure or disdain. He seemed to be afraid of Shu Guan's embarrassment, and even asked Shu Guan some questions. Work matters.
Although Shu Guan has always been a little nervous, he has not shown this nervousness. After all, he is still a practitioner in the first realm of consciousness, so he still has this control ability.
Therefore, in front of Rong Duanfu, he has always behaved generously and talked freely. With the help of Xiaoyi, he can also communicate with Rong Duanfu and make some unpleasant remarks on topics like those that Rong Duanfu talks about. Insights and opinions beyond the scope of normal people.
After eating for a while, Shu Guan was quite satisfied with his performance, and this could be seen from the way Rong Miao looked at him.
When the dessert was served after the meal, Rong Duanfu looked at Rong Miao with doting eyes and said:
"Look at you. You've been like a wild girl since you were a child. You eat everything in your mouth. You should go and put on your makeup first."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
So Rong Miao stood up happily, showing the look of a little daughter that is rarely seen in her. She wrinkled her nose at Rong Duanfu like a coquettish person and said:
"Dad, don't bully him."
Then he gave Shuguan an encouraging look, and then turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Rong Duanfu watched his daughter disappear around the corner of the restaurant, shook his head at Shuguan and smiled bitterly:
"As my daughter gets older, her elbows start to turn outward."
Shu Guan didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he could only laugh, and then immersed himself in eating the red date pudding in front of him.
Rong Duanfu sighed and continued:
"My daughter is very smart when it comes to serious business. No one in the younger generation in the family can compare with her."
"But I don't have much experience in dating. I used to be very strict and didn't let her get in touch with other boys. It wasn't until she came to Jingcheng alone that I had to let her go. Unexpectedly, something went wrong."
Shu Guan held the steel spoon and was about to put a mouthful of pudding into his mouth.
It was just Rong Duanfu's last words that made his hand suddenly pause.
Rong Duanfu's voice continued to ring in his ears.
"So Miaomiao trusts people too easily in these matters, and she was deceived accidentally."
Shu Guan slowly raised his head and looked at Rong Duanfu.
Rong Duanfu was also looking at him, his eyes were dull and cold, no longer as gentle as before.
"You're not actually a patrolman."
Then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said this to Shu Guan.
Shu Guan didn't speak. He lowered his head again and silently looked at the piece of pale red pudding in the steel spoon.
"I didn't expect Miaomiao to be so naive and believe you without investigating your background."
"But I'm not her. Ever since Lao Li told me about your existence, I have specifically asked him to start investigating your background."
The Lao Li mentioned by Rong Duanfu was naturally the Uncle Li who later came to Rong Miao.
That Uncle Li is really not just a new servant.
"And after investigation, I found that there is no one like you in the patrol station where you told Miaomiao to work."
Shu Guan still didn't speak.
It is naturally not difficult to reveal his false identity. And the fact that he has been able to hide it from Rong Miao for so long can only be said that Rong Miao really trusts him.
"And to be on the safe side, I asked people to carefully investigate all the patrol bureaus in Jingcheng. Haha, although I am in Shencheng, there are still some ways to do it in Jingcheng."
Rong Duanfu said calmly.
"But after checking all the patrol stations, there is still no one like you."
"Then I asked people to do more research, and finally discovered that there was no such person as you in Jingcheng two years ago."
"You only registered and settled in Jingcheng two years ago, and so did your so-called compatriots."
"As for where you are from, according to what my subordinates spent money to find out from your fellow villagers, it seems that you are from a remote mountain village on the other side of Shennongjia. Am I right?"
Shu Guan nodded this time and put the uneaten red date pudding back into the basin.
Rong Duanfu investigated him very carefully.
"But there is one thing that the people I sent have never found out."
"That's what you do."
"Because according to the people I sent to investigate you, you are a very mysterious person. You often disappear for a period of time for no apparent reason. No matter how they look for you, they can't find you."
...Well, I should have been practicing in Guanli at that time. If you can find Guanli, that would be a hell...
Shu Guan said silently in his heart.
Rong Duanfu continued to mockingly say
"So are you the shirtless gangster? Or are you the shirtless gangster of Brother Pao here?"
...No, actually I am one
A god...
"But that doesn't matter anymore. No matter you are stripping or shirtless, I need you to leave my daughter immediately!"
Rong Duanfu's voice became extremely stern, and his originally gentle eyes became extremely sharp.
"Although I am just a businessman, I have many friends in both the black and white circles. This is true in Shen City and the same is true in Jing City."
"For example, Boss Xu of Jingcheng Paoge, or Xu Pingxi, the Governor-General of Chuxiang, I, Rong Duanfu, have some friendship with them."
"So no matter which force is behind you, you must leave my daughter obediently, otherwise I will make you regret why you did it yourself."
Rong Duanfu said with a threatening tone.
Then, he took out another piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the table.
"Of course, if you are willing to leave voluntarily, I will not treat you badly."
"Why should I reveal your identity when Miaomiao is walking away? I just don't want to make Miaomiao sad."
"So I need you to leave my daughter in a way that won't make Miaomiao too sad. If you can do it, then you can take the check in front of you."
Rong Duanfu slowly pushed the check in front of Shu Guan.
Shu Guan looked up and saw that it was a check from Rongsheng Bank. As for the amount... it could only be said that Rong Duanfu really loved his daughter.
As if he saw the strange color flashing in Shu Guan's eyes, Rong Duanfu laughed again, this time his smile was full of confidence.
"How about it? Your purpose of getting close to Miaomiao is just for money. The money I give you is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Even if you are in Miaomiao's body, you can't get any more."
"Okay, have you thought about it clearly now? Give me an answer."
Without even thinking about it, Shu Guan directly pushed the check back in front of Rong Duan.
"I'm not with Miaomiao for money, but because I really like her. I'm actually not interested in money."
Shu Guan said this to Rong Duanfu sincerely, then lowered his head and officially started eating the red date mud pudding.
Rong Duanfu's face became a little ugly.
Naturally, he didn't believe the lies of the young man in front of him.
What does it mean to have no interest in money? How can anyone in this world not be interested in money!
People as rich as him are still very interested in money.
If you say you're not interested in money, I'm afraid it's just that the price you offered isn't enough.
"Shuguan, don't be too loud."
Rong Duanfu said coldly:
"The clothes you are wearing were bought by Miaomiao, the things you usually use were bought by Miaomiao, and even when you go out to eat, Miaomiao paid for them. I have investigated these things very clearly. What qualifications do you have to say Are you not interested in money?"
"Either take this money, comfort Miaomiao and get out of here, or you won't even get a cent, and I'll have someone send you to prison!"
When Rong Duanfu told him that he used to eat Rong Miao and use Rong Miao, Shu Guan immediately felt a little ashamed.
Especially when this kind of thing comes from the mouth of the future father-in-law, it is even more embarrassing.
As if to resolve this embarrassment, Shu Guan asked Rong Duanfu a question.
"When did you know about me? Why didn't you tell Miaomiao earlier?"
"I asked you to investigate you half a year ago, but I got the detailed report two months ago."
"But I appreciate Chu Miaomiao's character. If I hadn't come in person, no one would have been able to persuade him."
"But fortunately, according to Lao Li's report, there has never been a substantial relationship between you and Miaomiao, otherwise I would have come over and had you killed."
Rong Duanfu gritted his teeth and said.
As for Shu Guan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's only two months, so there's still time.
At this time, Shuguan finally finished his portion of red date mud pudding.
Then he looked at Rong Miao's portion, then took it and started eating again.
Because Rong Miao wants to control her weight, she rarely eats sweets. When the two of them ate in the past, Shu Guan would almost eat the two portions of sweets.
It was just his action that made Rong Duanfu frown again.
"How about it, have you thought about it?"
Rong Duanfu urged impatiently.
"Think about it, I will not leave your daughter, and one day, I will marry Miaomiao."
Shu Guan finished Rong Miao's piece of red date mud pudding in three mouthfuls, and then spoke frankly to Rong Duanfu.
"Don't even think about it!"
Rong Duanfu shouted angrily.
Because the sound was so loud, the guests at the tables next to him all looked sideways.
"Haven't you always wanted to know what I do?"
Shu Guan smiled to himself and said:
"Actually, I am a god."
"What?"
Even though Rong Duanfu was furious at this moment, he couldn't help but be stunned by Shu Guan's striking words.
But Shu Guan had already pasted a yellow talisman on his arm.
Forget the Talisman!
However, it was not the calming talisman drawn by fifth senior brother An Zichun, but one of the stack of talisman papers that Senior Uncle Qi had thrust into his hand when he left Shan Si Guan the day before yesterday.
The person who drew this talisman was a founder who was at the peak of fetal movement state three hundred years ago.
The effect of the talisman paper he drew is naturally completely different from the effect of the forgetfulness talisman drawn by An Zichun.
The forgetfulness talisman drawn by An Zichun can only erase a person's memory of what happened within twelve hours, and it can only erase everything that happened within this period.
But the God-forgetting Talisman that Shu Guan is using now is different.
Not only can you clear a person's memory of events that have occurred in the past few months, but you can also select exactly what specific things you want them to forget.
When the Talisman of Oblivion clicked onto Rong Duanfu's arm, Rong Duanfu's body stiffened slightly, and then a dazed look appeared in his eyes.
Shu Guan raised his hand and held his wrist, stared into his eyes tightly, and said in a slow and solemn voice:
"Forget everything you investigated about me."
Rong Duanfu's eyes became duller and duller.
"...I forgot all the things I investigated about you..."
He repeated after Shu Guan blankly.
"Forget the conversation we just had."
"...I forgot about the conversation we just had..."
"You like me very much."
Shu Guan thought for a while and added this sentence.
"……I like you very much……"
Shu Guan stretched out his fingers and rubbed the yellow talisman paper. The yellow talisman paper turned into a wisp of smoke and got into Rong Duanfu's body.
Then Shu Guan stuffed the check back into Rong Duanfu's pocket, and then withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Although what he just did was for his own private affairs, this kind of tampering with a person's memory without authorization is already a violation of heaven's rules.
But so what?
After the master's death, Shu Guan was ready to have no taboos!
Rong Duanfu blinked, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and he returned to normal.
Then he looked at the untouched piece of red date mud pudding in front of him, and then at the two empty plates in front of Shuguan, so Rong Duanfu put his red date mud pudding on Shuguan's table with concern on his face. in front of.
"Xiao Shu, if you like to eat, just eat more."
At this time Rong Miao finally came back from the bathroom.
Naturally, she didn't need to reapply her makeup for so long, but it was just to let her father and her lover spend more time together, so she delayed it for so long.
When he came back, he happened to see this scene, so the smile on Rong Miao's face became happier.
"You just
What are you talking about? You look so happy. "
Rong Miao sat back in her seat and asked with a smile.
Another trace of confusion flashed in Rong Duanfu's eyes.
What were you talking about with Xiao Shu just now?
...I can't seem to remember clearly, but it's not important...
"Xiao Shu is a very nice person. You two should get along well in the future!"
In the end, Rong Duanfu just said something serious to his daughter.
