Tang Xueluan's grandfather Shu Shengyuan showed a gentle smile, but the expression that did not belong to his age was very harmonious on his face. Ma En had also experienced this feeling in Xiaoyao.
When old age and health appear at the same time in a person, he does not look like an old soul living in a middle-aged body, nor does he look like a middle-aged man who has lived for a few more years, but has a unique mental outlook. .
It's like having the advantages of old age and middle age at the same time, and abandoning most of the disadvantages.
Is this longevity?
The middle-aged man showed a kind smile like an old man, and said in a gentle and patient tone:
"Ma En, my son is already waiting for you inside. He will talk to you about the things you mentioned on behalf of our Shu family. This should be your first meeting, but you will definitely talk about things often in the future.
"Yunpeng is the most outstanding young man of the Shu family. He will be responsible for more and more things in the family in the future. Regarding Xiaoyao, he will communicate with you through Xiaoluan in the future. After all, this matter is very important to the Shu family. It’s not a small matter at all.”
His meaning was very clear. Although Ma En can still maintain this cooperative relationship with Tang Xueluan in the future, Shu Yunpeng will definitely be closely involved in matters related to Xiaoyao. This is no longer something Tang Xueluan can have the final say.
This is also the reason why he was called here to meet with Shu Yunpeng.
Shu Shengyuan looked at Ma En with kind eyes as he looked at his younger generation, and then said naturally:
"Yunpeng will talk to you about the details, but I didn't come here to talk about these things. The purpose of coming here is to see for myself what you look like, so that my granddaughter can identify you at a glance."
Ma En blinked, not expecting him to say this.
Shu Shengyuan looked at him with a smile:
"It's not that I don't believe in my granddaughter's vision of people, or that I don't believe in your ability. I just don't think she can see through you so easily - the person who leads the Salvation Alliance to fight against us in the Southern Commonwealth.
"No matter how good her vision is, she can't really see through people like you, and when faced with things about you, she didn't even waver half a time. We all felt that there was a cliff ahead, but she insisted on following us. Jumping behind you, and after seeing you, I finally understood the reason why she was so determined.
"Because of your appearance."
Shu Shengyuan's words actually implicitly said some nice words for Tang Xueluan, but Ma En still didn't understand why he said these things before talking about such a serious topic.
In response to this, Ma En could only pretend to be modest and said:
"I think this is because Tang Xueluan knows how to communicate with people with abilities like us. We are not interested in those meanderings. Sincerity is the best stepping stone for us."
Shu Shengyuan said with a smile:
"You are right, but I don't say these words in vain. After living for so many years, I can still see clearly what is going on in young people's hearts. Maybe you haven't noticed it, but my granddaughter actually I somewhat like you, so I want to ask you...
"What do you think of Xiaoluan?"
Feeling a little strange, Ma En turned his head and looked at Tang Xueluan. This beautiful woman still had the same indifferent smile on her face when she just saw him, and did not show any emotion on her face.
….
Shu Shengyuan did not give Ma En a chance to answer, and continued directly:
"Although Xiaoluan is a few years older than you, she is much prettier than those twenty-year-old young women, and you have also seen my appearance at this time. If she wants to look so young for the rest of her life.
"And you also know Xiaoluan's character. She is a very considerate and gentle girl, and she also has her own opinions. Not to mention that the conditions of our Shu family are comparable to yours. Her My father can already be said to be the next generation head of the Shu family, and I think she should be worthy of you.
"What do you think?"
As he spoke, Tang Xueluan's brows seemed to have a little more expectation, but Ma En immediately realized that the object of this expectation was not the scene in her grandfather's mouth, but something else.
something.
At this moment, Ma En also noticed something strange in the kind face of this "old man". When he said the second paragraph, Ma En had some inexplicable feelings, and now he was sure what it was.
Total hypocrisy.
Yes, Shu Sheng is far from a real old man, so it is hypocritical for him to deliberately pretend to be a kind old man. The following paragraph is not an enthusiastic elder trying to match his granddaughter Lalang.
But a cold deal.
What he described was actually a "political" marriage. Apparently Shu Shengyuan saw his current value and was not confident about his current cooperative relationship with Tang Xueluan, so he made suggestions to further deepen the relationship.
In this conversation, Tang Xueluan was one of the countless commodities in this transaction, and it was one of the less important ones. What the Shu family really put on the scale was something more abstract and complex.
It seems that immortality has not made him "better".
"Sorry." Ma En replied with a gentle and polite expression, "But I don't have the idea of starting a family yet. Now I want to focus more on my career."
Shu Shengyuan still had the kind look of an old man, and said enthusiastically as if he was talking to his granddaughter:
"Really? It's good for young people to think so, but marrying my granddaughter will be of great benefit to your career and abnormal path. Yunpeng is the most outstanding son, and Xiaoluan is now his only daughter.
"As long as you enter the Shu family, you can become a Shu family member no matter what your last name is."
When he said this, he seemed not to remember that Tang Xueluan could become an only daughter because her sister was brutally assassinated not long ago.
Ma En still had a smile on his face, but his eyes became calmer:
"Miss Xueluan is a very good girl, but I don't have any feelings for her."
After hearing this, Shu Shengyuan nodded slightly, then smiled and reached out to pat Ma En on the shoulder:
"I didn't expect that there are still young people in the Federation who treat love so purely. It's very good.
"go in."
Then he stood there and looked at them, while Tang Xueluan raised her legs to lead Ma En in. When she just passed by Ma En, she glanced slightly sideways and gave him a rather complex and subtle look.
And she immediately withdrew her gaze, as if she was afraid that the man behind her would notice her movements, but Ma En still clearly received the meaning she wanted to convey.
After excluding some vague and insignificant emotions, the remaining things gradually gathered into a strong emotion in Ma En's eyes...
gratitude.
Clouds in the starry sky
