Chapter 1953 Classy People Look Good in Everything

You sure look good today! commended Master Xu.

Classy people look good in everything, said Master Leng as he looked at her proudly. After all, she was his granddaughter-in-law!

Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu could naturally tell Master Leng was showing off! They glanced at him speechlessly.

Initially, no one thought much about it when Gu Ning greeted Master Leng. After all, all the people in the hall greeted them even though they were unrelated. However, everyone went into shock when they caught sight of Master Leng getting along so well with Gu Ning.

Oh god! Were their eyes playing tricks on them? Gu Ning was acquainted with Master Leng and the others. It was simply inconceivable.

The people who despised Gu Ning previously suddenly felt as though they were slapped in the face. Gu Ning even knew big shots like Master Leng and the others. How could their so-called connections compare to this?

Even though they felt Gu Ning must have an improper relationship with someone powerful, they would not dare to suspect Master Leng and the others for it!

Since Tang Qingyang and Song Nan knew of Gu Nings relationship, they were unsurprised by their interaction.

Rong Zechen happened to arrive with Master Rong just in time to see Gu Ning talking to Master Leng and the others. He too could not help feeling shocked that Gu Ning was acquainted with them. Also, Gu Ning was particularly stunning today, so he could not help feeling awestruck and upset.

Rong Zechen fancied Gu Ning, but she was disinterested in him. It made Rong Zechen feel both defeated and resentful. He felt he was too good for Gu Ning to begin with, so she had no reason to refuse him.

Gu Ning saw Rong Zechen when he walked over with Master Rong. However, she did not react at all and acted as though she were complete strangers with Rong Zechen.

Rong Zechen could not help feeling insulted when Gu Ning did not react when she saw him. Hence, he deliberately ignored Gu Ning and pretended not to know her.

Hi, Leng, Xu, Jiang and Cai! I see you made it too! greeted Master Rong. Although they stood on opposing ends owing to family feuds, they remained courteous on the surface and greeted each other whenever they crossed paths. Also, they interacted as though they were close friends

Uh huh! Hi, Rong! Nice to see you here, acknowledged Master Leng as he chuckled. freewebnvel.co

Such a pleasant surprise to see you here, Master Rong, acknowledged Master Xu, Jiang Zhongyu, and Cai Wenhong as well. Owing to their statuses, they greeted him more formally than Master Leng.

Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Jiang, and Curator Cai, greeted Rong Zechen courteously.

Master Leng and the others said hello to Rong Zechen.

Long time no see. You look even better than when I last saw you! said Master Rong. He was not trying to be tactful. Instead, he genuinely felt Master Leng and the others looked more radiant and healthier than before.

That went without saying. They had all taken Gu Nings power crystal, so they were a lot healthier than their peers.

I think so too! I do feel a lot healthier recently. It helped that I have been exercising and relaxing, said Master Leng. He proceeded to end the conversation and sat down at the next table. I will sit with you.

He saw Xu Jinchens table card at the seat when he sat down, so he realized Xu Jinchen was coming.

Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying were supposed to sit with Gu Ning. Even though only his name was written on the table, the other two tables were intended for their guests.

The person who was supposed to sit with Gu Ning and Xu Jinchen was waiting for Master Leng to leave before he took his seat. However, he immediately froze when he heard Master Leng wanted his seat and went into a dilemma. Where would they sit if Master Leng wanted to sit here?

However, no one dared to tell Master Leng to leave!

Everyone was stunned by Master Lengs actions, including Rong Zechen. How could Master Leng sit beside Gu Ning? Were they that close?

If you sit there, then what about the person whom the seat was actually reserved for? Master Xu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. In reality, they were already seated right in front of Gu Ning making them barely half a meter apart!

Just tell them to take my seat! said Master Leng.

Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu was speechless briefly before they decided it sounded like a good idea.

Master Xu looked at the man beside him and said, Mr Nie, mind trading seats with me?

Master Leng had taken the seat belonging to the eldest son of the Nie clan, general manager of their family business, and Nie Chenyangs father, Nie Xuesen.

Be my guest, said Nie Xuesen. It was no big deal to trade seats, especially when it was Master Leng asking!

Since Master Leng wanted to sit here, Master Xu, Jiang Zhongyu, and Cai Wenhong all moved over with him.

Master Rong did not continue chatting with him. Instead, he led Rong Zechen to their seats and sat down.

Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying arrived around this time.

The moment Xu Jinchen spotted Master Xu sitting beside Gu Ning, he could not help feeling uneasy.

Zi Beiying did not know them, so she did not feel awkward.

Mengda and Nan did not go with them. Instead, they were seated slightly behind them.

Also, Master Xu opened his eyes wide in excitement when he saw Xu Jinchen here with a young lady. His grandson finally got smart and found himself a woman!

Master Xu blatantly scrutinized Zi Beiying altogether. She was a pretty young woman with an elegant aura, so she did not look like someone from an ordinary family.

Zi Beiying felt puzzled when the old man kept looking at her, but she did not show it on her face.

Hello, Grandpa, Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Jiang, and Curator Cai. Xu Jinchen walked up in front of them and greeted them.

The moment Xu Jinchen greeted the elderly man as his grandfather while the elderly man scrutinized Zi Beiying, she could not help feeling worried. She did not expect to encounter Xu Jinchens grandfather here.

Since Zi Beiying was uneasy, Gu Ning stood up immediately and introduced, Meet Grandpa Xu. This is Shaotings grandfather, Grandpa Leng. This is Grandpa Jiang. Also, this is the head of the Palace Museum, Curator Cai.

Hi there, Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Jiang, and Curator Cai, greeted Zi Beiying courteously after being introduced.

Hello, they replied. Master Xu seemed particularly enthusiastic.

This is my friend, Zi Beiying, introduced Gu Ning to Master Leng and the others.

Chapter 1952 Just Because She Is Young Doesnt Make Her Incapable

Gu Ning had told him to say this since she knew the emergence of the bronze chimes was bound to send tongues wagging. Hence, she told him to deny knowing the source of the bronze chimes and said she was the one who found them.

Then its quite an impressive feat for her to land her hands on such a precious item and being able to sell it without getting charged, said the man ambiguously.

Despite how humiliating his words sounded, Chen Darong pretended not to pick up on it even though he was angry. Instead, he acted as though he was praising Gu Ning. Youre right! Our boss is a very impressive woman. Otherwise, her establishments would never have advanced at such speed!

Miss Gu was able to advance her career at such astounding speed that it is completely unprecedented! said the man. Even though he made it sound like he was praising Gu Ning, his tone was insincere and implied she resorted to underhanded means.

Just because she is young does not make her incapable. Not every capable person succeeds. A lot of luck and connections are needed for things to fall into place. However, she could never have done it if she was not capable. You cannot deny her ability just because she is young. As everyone knows, Director Gu has powerful connections, and a lot of people think she gained these connections through unscrupulous means. These people think everyone else is as stupid as them. All her connections are powerful, so they arent idiots. Why would they do as Director Gu says since they are so powerful? said Chen Darong.

Chen Darong was saying this for the naysayers to hear. In reality, they were keenly aware no one could succeed solely using backdoor deals. Talent, connections, and luck played a huge part in success as well. Those people merely accused Gu Ning of using underhanded means to achieve success because they were jealous.

The man was dumbfounded after hearing what Chen Darong said.

Mr Chen is right. Director Gu is genuinely an incredibly talented businesswoman. Although I have never met her in person, I have heard a lot about her feats online! She came in first as the top scorer in the national entrance exam with full marks this year. Also, she is a highly-skilled martial artist and saved a lot of people and some of them happened to be powerful men! said a man.

People who knew about Gu Nings accomplishments did not believe she resorted to underhanded means to gain connections and advance her career. After all, even successful men might not be able to accomplish what Gu Ning did. freewebnvel.cm

People who were in the dark were startled by Gu Nings accomplishments and doubts about her quickly dissipated.

Hmm? Isnt that Miss Gu? Someone suddenly saw Gu Ning enter through the door and exclaimed.

Since this was an official affair, Gu Ning came formally dressed. She was dressed in a suit jacket and pants paired with heels and some light makeup.

She had her hair scattered behind her and it was styled with large waves. On the whole, she appeared mature, elegant, and had the powerful aura of a queen.

Everyone sensed Gu Nings powerful aura and could not help holding their breaths. It was impossible to disregard her presence.

Even Chen Darong felt stunned. He had always seen Gu Ning dressed like a student, so it was his first time seeing Gu Nings intense aura. For a moment, he was not sure what to say. However, he quickly snapped out of his daze and headed over to welcome Gu Ning as he greeted reverently, Morning, Director Gu.

Uh huh! acknowledged Gu Ning mildly with her innately imposing aura.

In reality, Gu Ning was deliberately giving off an imposing look. She had overheard the conversation earlier. Even though she did not care what other people thought about her, she could not overlook it now that she had heard it said in front of her.

Hence, Gu Ning walked in with an imposing aura to intimidate them and let them know that she was not just a pretty face.

Everyone quickly noticed her presence. The people who believed in Gu Nings talent turned to greet her, while the ones with suspicions did not come over.

Considering Gu Nings publicly known status, a lot of people were not interested in being friends, so they did not bother to greet Gu Ning.

Gu Ning said hi to the guests who were friendly to her.

Gu Ning, are you here too? Tang Qingyang walked over and said hi to Gu Ning.

Song Nan was with Tang Qingyang as well.

Gu Ning, greeted Song Nan.

Hi, Ruiqin and Qingyang, greeted Gu Ning. They chatted as they headed over to hall one without waiting for Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying to come. They could come in on their own when they got there. Since Xu Jinchen was around, Gu Ning did not have to take care of Zi Beiying much.

The auction hall was huge and had a posh interior. Rows of rectangular tables with two chairs on each side with the table facing the auction stage were placed in the hall. Each row had six tables making 24 chairs per row.

Although Gu Ning did not have high status, she was assigned to the second row. Only members of top and second-tier elite families had the privilege of sitting there.

As for the first table, only their family heads, high-ranking government officials and experts had the honor of sitting there.

Since not every elite family and high-ranking official would turn up today, 24 seats were enough. There were even some unoccupied seats.

When people who knew Gu Ning saw her sitting in the second row, they were shocked. They felt Gu Ning did not have the right to sit there! They were unaware that Gu Ning was not given her seat because of her success in the commercial world. Instead, she was seated there as she was the Leng familys future granddaughter-in-law.

Two minutes after Gu Ning took a seat, Master Leng, Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu showed up along with the president of Palace Museum, Cai Wenhong.

Cai Wenhong was here on behalf of the Palace Museum to bid for the bronze chimes. It was not the kind of task that could be delegated to someone else!

Everyone greeted them when they entered the hall.

They were especially polite and respectful to Master Leng and even stood up when they spoke to him.

Gu Ning immediately stood up when she saw them. Chen Darong stood up as well nervously.

Hi, so nice to see you all, Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Jiang, and Curator Cai! greeted Gu Ning as she smiled.

Nice to meet you, Master Leng, Master Xu, Master Jiang, and Curator Cai, greeted Chen Darong as well.

Did you come even earlier than us? asked Jiang Zhongyu as he laughed.

Chapter 1900 — Care

EndlessFantasy Translation EndlessFantasy Translation

When they left the Dongfang mansion, it was already past three in the afternoon. Before they went back, Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun were called to the study by Dongfang Shuman.

However, they did not talk much. Most of the time, they only talked about the background of the two families.

Although their attitude was still cold, it was obvious that they did not have any hostility toward Qi Lei. It could be considered a tacit agreement.

Dongfang Liuyun already felt that it was rare for her to be in such a state. Before she came, she had already imagined all sorts of awkward and helpless situations. She thought that if it really did not work out, she would drag Qi Lei away. She did not expect things to be so smooth right now, her mood had eased up a lot.

Song Siting also left with them.

At this moment, the person driving in front was Qi Lei. Dongfang Liuyun and Song Siting sat in the back.

If those words made you feel bad, just pretend that you didnt hear it. After all, its been like this all these years. When Father and I talked on the phone, he didnt forget to ask us to take care of you. Mother, Father is really good to you. After so many years, no one knows how he persevered better than you do.

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, Dongfang Gans loving face could not help but appear in her mind. She could not help but feel sorry for her father, Some time ago, Father told me that he was getting older and would often feel very tired these days. I think that he was tired not just physically, but mentally too. The situation Ive been in all these years has caused him to worry so much. I admit that Im very unfilial. Thats why when he asked me to take over the Dongfang Group, I didnt resist at all. I knew of my fate, I would have to act sooner or later.

I know what you mean. Ive been thinking a lot lately… as a wife and mother, Im afraid Ive neglected my duties. I thought I should persevere… forget it, now that things have come to this, its meaningless to say anything else.

Song Sitings heart was filled with bitterness. She could not tell what exactly she was feeling.

Should I be proud and happy to have a mother who is full of justice and responsibility then?

Dongfang Liuyun finally retracted her gaze from the street scene outside and silently looked at the gloomy-looking Song Siting, You cant even protect yourself, and now youre a public figure that attracts criticisms easily, what sense of justice and responsibility do you have to talk about? To put it bluntly, its a burden. If I said it like this, would you listen?

A burden?

Song Siting was stunned. She looked at Dongfang Liuyun in disbelief. Who are you calling a burden?

You dont have to doubt your own ears. Im talking about you. Youre right, a burden. You probably dont know how Father has been helping you deal with these things after all these years, right? Because of these matters, the kind of difficult problems Father had to face. Have you thought about all of these?

As Dongfang Liuyun said this, she coldly took out a document from her briefcase and handed it to Song Siting, Father doesnt want you to know about these things, but I think that only you can know. Perhaps you will understand what Father has been through all these years. Why would Grandmother reject you so much? If it were me, I think I would also be very dissatisfied with such a daughter-in-law.

Dongfang Liuyuns words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Song Sitings heart hard.

Song Siting looked at her in a daze. After a long while, she took the document and started flipping through it

However, the more she flipped through it, the paler Song Sitings face became. Towards the end, she was more and more in disbelief, until the end, she who had always been as strong as a rock suddenly started to tear up.

Dongfang Liuyun quietly observed her expression. It was only when she saw the redness in her eyes that she took a deep breath and looked out of the car window.

Song Siting took a deep breath and calmed down for a long time before she said in a hoarse voice, Your father… is really thoughtful… Im the one who let him down… Im the one who let him down. All these years…

I dont mean to blame you. I just hope that you and my father can enjoy your old age in peace. Youve been through a lot for so many years, and you should have had enough of the chaotic world outside. In the future, you should accompany Father and take good care of him. This request shouldnt be too much, right? Dongfang Liuyun asked in a low voice.

I thought about it a lot too. Under such pressure, Ill finish the case in hand. When you two have a child, Ill hand the law firm to the people under me. Ill fade out of this circle and take care of your children. But now…

Song Siting sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes. After a long while, she said, When are you and Qi Lei going to have a child? Itll be good for me…

Well just let nature take its course. I know you dont want to stay at home like this. Youve worked with Father before, so Ive already mentioned to Vice President Zhang that Ill prepare an office beside Fathers office for you. You can help Father with some matters. I think he will be very happy.

Dongfang Liuyun naturally knew her father very well. Dongfang Gans entire heart had been tied to Song Siting all his life. All these years, he had never seen him take a second look at any other women.

Perhaps this was inherited from his grandfather, Dongfang. His grandfather also had a deep affection for her grandmother.

Emotional self-discipline had always been Dongfang Gans rule. Dongfang Liuyun suddenly remembered that all these years, whenever there was a social event, if it was not her mother, Song Siting, or her, Dongfang Liuyun, Dongfang Gan would always attend it alone.

It seemed that he had always been like this, a person who only knew how to give quietly.

After Dongfang Liuyun said this, Song Siting fell silent. She thought for a moment and finally nodded. You make the arrangements. Ill make the arrangements for the matters of the law firm for the time being. From now on, Ill guard you well. reewebove.com

There was no dissatisfaction in her low and slow voice. Instead, there was a sense of relief.

At this moment, as Song Siting spoke, she kept the document in her hands into her bosom and pressed it tightly against her chest.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun lowered her eyes and looked at her fingers that were lightly interlocked. After thinking for a moment, she said, Mother, Im sorry. If this arrangement makes you unhappy, please forgive me. Im a little tired. Just consider me selfish. I hope that you and Father will be fine and stand on our side and support us unconditionally. This way, I can feel at ease.

What can I say? In my heart, you guys are the most important. I thought everything Ive done all these years was…

Qi Lei, who was driving in front, did not speak. At this moment, it was best for him to remain silent.

Chapter 1855: Wild Xing Tian

Chapter 1855: Wild Xing Tian

Law Hitesh

Pure essence sun fire was the natural destroyer of all evils.

Under the golden light, Wu Bis blood and flesh melted immediately, Streams of black liquid spurted out of his body and evaporated into clouds of black mist that spread in all directions. Divine Magi could regrow their bodies from blood drops, Wu Bi had become a devil and grown more powerful. If a wisp of this black mist escaped, he would be able to devour the spirit blood of other living beings to regrow his body.

You cant run! Ji Hao laughed out wildly. The scorching golden light locked on the black mist, then he pointed at the Pan Gu bell. The bell released a vast Chaos power while rising into the sky. The bell ring echoed throughout the whole world as the Chaos power sealed the surrounding space off with the pre-world magnetic force field.

The large clouds of black mist were frozen in the air, disabled from moving. The hair-thin wisps of mist had been darting desperately in the air, but still couldnt run away from Ji Haos control. Wu Bis raging and hopeless screams could be heard from the mist, along with all kinds of beast roars and human cries. Suddenly, countless twisted faces emerged from the dark mist.

Ji Hao kid, do not push this too far! From the dark mist, Wu Bis face suddenly rose with his teeth bared while cursing Ji Hao, Devil Master will not spare your life! If you hurt me today, in the future…

Ji Hao didnt want to listen, so he shook his wrist and sent a bolt of thunder towards Wu Bi.

Crack!

The thunder flames surged and vanished a cloud of dark mist. Wu Bis shrieks grew even shriller from the surrounding black mist, Ji Hao! Ill remember you! Ill remember you! Devil Master, help! Help!

The air quaked abruptly as a hundred-miles-wide, giant black hole suddenly appeared above Ji Haos head. An enormous hand reached out of the black hole, straight towards the black mist.

If one looked carefully, one would find numberless twisted human faces inside this enormous black hand. Every single black hair on this hand was composed of countless connected human bodies. A strong hatred could be sensed from this black hand. When it was still hundreds of miles away from Ji Hao, Ji Hao already felt like being soaked in a sewer, in dirty blood, and all his internal organs were twitching.

The overwhelming evil power came straight at Ji Hao. Ji Hao felt like he was being choked, that even the bright glow of this embryo of Dao was dimmed slightly. This was the power of Original Devil, this was the evilest, dirtiest power of Pan Gu world, also the origin of all the evils in this world, and the most extreme and dreadful power in Pan Gu world.

Original Devil! Ji Hao took a deep breath and punched on the Pan Gu bell as quickly as he could. A bell ring quaked the space while the strong Chaos power condensed into beams of warm light that covered Ji Haos body. They firmly protected him from the evil power which was coming from every direction.

Next, Ji Hao patted the back of his head and released a bright light, as well as the golden, shining mill of Dao, which was wrapped in a purple mist. Behind Ji Haos head, the two parts of the mill which were created from the great Dao of destruction and creation spun in two opposite directions and generated a magical devouring power that quickly dragged the evil power released from the giant black hand in.

Even the evilest and dirtiest power of Pan Gu world could be destroyed, as long as it existed!

Ji Hao activated the mill of Dao with all his strength. The millstone of the Dao of destruction sparkled with a black light and ground the evil power, turning it into the purest original power of Pan Gu world for Ji Hao to absorb.

The suppression that had been given to Ji Haos embryo of Dao by Original Devil was immediately gone as Ji Hao was under the protection of the golden light and purple mist of the mill of Dao, which was generated from a measureless natural reward power.

It is impolite not to reciprocate. Original Devil, take this! Ji Hao gave a bright shout and pointed at the giant black hand. Following his moves, the sunlight, which covered the entire Pan Gu Motherland, suddenly concentrated to a hair-thin golden light beam. Ji Hao then threw out the Pan Gu sword and let the golden light land on the sword tip.

Clank!

The Pan Gu sword transformed into a tremendous golden streak of light and lunged out.

The sun power was the strongest evil destroyer in this world. The Pan Gu sword had merged with the Pan Gu axe, and could be counted as the strongest weapon in the world.

Ji Hao pointed at the sword light and concentrated his spirit power on the giant black hand which descended from the sky. He launched the sky-opening move and discovered the nearly undetectable weakness of the giant black hand.

Break! Ji Hao growled and made this sword move with all his power.

The golden sword light rolled in the air and struck straight at the giant black hand. Along with a series of puffing noise, the giant hand was split up from the tip of its middle finger to the end of elbow. Clouds of dark mist spurted out of this giant hand, but a golden flame immediately set the dark mist on fire.

Ji Hao kid! Ji Hao heard a deep, hoarse, emotionless voice from the black hole in the sky, I have important things to do, and cannot deal with you myself…I will make you pay for this sword strike!

Ji Hao sneered and sent all his power into the Pan Gu sword, letting the sword light cover the entire sky. Beams of sword light struck at the dark giant hand and shredded it. Original Devil howled in pain as wisps of dark mist flew all over the sky, only to be set on fire by the sun power.

Master, help! From Wu Bis black mist, Wu Bi screamed with a dry voice.

Original Devil remained silent for a while, then the black hole in the sky slowly disappeared. Trash, you are not worth saving. Original Devil said coldly.

Wu Bi howled with desperation. He cried and begged, but Original Devil showed no mercy.

Ji Hao raised the Pan Gu sword and swung at Wu Bis dark mist. Along with a shrill shriek, the dark mist was wiped out by the sword.

Thud!

As Ji Hao killed Wu Bi for good, Xing Tian landed heavily on the ground, like a meteor. He stooped down, and coldly stared at Emperor Xun and the group of Gong Sun Family elders, who had just crawled out of the collapsed jade stage, with the pair of nipple-eyes.

Human emperor? Before Emperor Xun, the group of elders, and clan leaders said a word, Xing Tian burst into raging roars, Youre not even as good as animals. How dare you usurp the throne? If a scum like you can be the emperor, where is the hope of our humankind?

Xing Tian was roaring, and while doing that, this violent and wild warrior abruptly dropped his shield and battle axe, untied his armor skirt, took out his strong p*nis, and took a leak. His urine poured down like a waterfall.

Following the sound of water gushing, the urine collapsed the entire palace and sent Emperor Xun and the group of Gong Sun Family elders tens of miles away!

Wow! In shock, Ji Hao looked at Xing Tian and said, I like this guy!

Chapter 1899 — Trying To Take Advantage?

EndlessFantasy Translation EndlessFantasy Translation

Dongfang Rouer did not expect Qi Lei to ask this. She was stunned and could not answer. She could only frown at Qi Lei. Her eyes were still filled with awkwardness, and her beautiful face was slightly red.

It seems that President Qi doesnt treat us as his own people. Weve been to Vice President Wang Chuns place before, but it seems that he… is probably under Fourth Sisters special care, right?

Dongfang Rouer smiled bitterly and took a deep breath. Shes always been like this. I should have guessed it long ago. Fujiwara was the same before. Other than relying on these things, cant she show off her true abilities?

As she finished speaking, Dongfang Rouers voice seemed to contain some resentment. She unconsciously clenched her fists, and her entire being seemed to be in a tense state.

Relying on these? I dont think theres anything wrong with a woman relying on her own man. Fifth Lady, with your personality, youre not very likable in front of men. Your words insinuate other things. Ive seen many women like you. A humble smile and a reserved manner, and doing things realistically will make your temperament better. Dont treat people as dolls with low IQ. At least, I dont think highly of you on this point.

Qi Leis deep tone was filled with coldness. freewebnvel.cm

Hearing this, Dongfang Rouers expression became even uglier. She pursed her lips. Even though she wanted to say something, looking at Qi Leis calm expression, she understood that Dongfang Liuyun was probably not ordinary in Qi Leis heart.

Moreover, just based on the fact that Qi Lei dared to announce their marriage to the media and even gave a large portion of Qi Kais shares to Dongfang Liuyun as a dowry, just based on this, she was envious of Dongfang Liuyuns charm and ability!

Was Fujiwara not the same?

That lunatic would probably fall out with the Fujiwara family for Dongfang Liuyun and give up everything!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Rouer suddenly felt an imbalance in her heart.

She was also the pearl of the Dongfang family, but her grandfather cared about her more than anyone else. Many people favored her, but she…

Even though Jin Sheng was already engaged to her and was about to get married, he still had his guard up against her. Furthermore, the two of them could not be considered to be in love. With such a transactional marriage, would she, Dongfang Rouer, really be happy?

Consider me misspoken. However, since President Qi is already married to Fourth Sister, please treat her well. Youre not the only one who has such deep feelings for Fourth Sister. Its really hard to explain things like feelings. The person who once had deeper feelings and loved her may not be the one she ends up with. Fourth Sister let go quite frankly, how would she know the pain and suffering of others?

As she said this, Dongfang Rouer sighed softly. She turned her gaze to look at Qi Leis handsome face, which was still as calm as water. Finally, she smiled, It seems like President Qi is confident in the relationship between the two of you. In that case, I wish you both happiness and good luck.

Thank you, Qi Lei replied with this last sentence. He gave her a sideways glance and suddenly walked down the stairs with some disinterest, I appreciate Fifth Ladys kind intentions. Its just that youre thinking too much. My marriage to Liuyun has nothing to do with anything else. Its only about the relationship, some things arent as self-righteous as you thinkthey are. The Fifth Lady will soon become a member of the Jin family. I hope you can be a good Mrs. Jin.

When Qi Lei said this, Dongfang Rouer paused for a moment. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she could not pinpoint what it was.

By the time she snapped out of her daze, Qi Lei had already walked down the stairs. His tall and straight body slowly passed through the plum blossom forest in front of him. After a while, he disappeared in front of her.

At this moment, in Song Sitings study.

Song sitings expression was not looking too good. Dongfang Liuyun was sitting on the sofa opposite her. Song Siting wanted to get up to make tea, but Dongfang Liuyun was one step ahead of her. She reached out to stop her

Let me do it. Youre recovering from your wound. Dont drink these things for now. Just drink some hot water.

As she spoke, she poured some water for Song Siting. Song Siting raised her eyes and glanced at her before quietly reaching out to take it.

What did Grandmother say to you earlier? You dont look too well.

Dongfang Liuyun leaned back on the sofa behind her. She looked at Song Siting and asked in a low voice.

Song Sitings dark eyes flickered when she heard this. She calmed down too. She lowered her eyes and looked at the steaming cup in her hand. A long while later, she finally said in a low voice, Its nothing, just repeating the old saying. Im used to it. You know that my relationship with your grandmother is so tense. Theres no way to improve it.

No way to improve it? Its something that you dont want to improve, right? There are many things that you insist on if you think that you are right. I admire that about you. However, one must always consider ones stance when considering any matter. I dont want to comment on the so-called right and wrong. You can be as happy as you like. You can do whatever you want.

When Dongfang Liuyun spoke about these things, her tone was filled with weariness and annoyance. Song Siting was not a fool, so of course, she could tell.

I know that youve always disliked our Dongfang familys profane style. Its not as noble and righteous as what you insist on in your heart. But this is my life, my fathers life, and the life of the entire Dongfang family. Our life is a big dye vat. Im not afraid of letting you know too that as long as I still want that position, I wont be able to stay too honorable in time.

So, is it true? If one day, Im also targeted, as a mother, will you personally send me to prison?

As she said this, Dongfang Liuyun stared intently at Song Sitings eyes. Her pitch-black eyes had a hint of desolation in them

Thats actually what grandmother meant. She hoped that you could consider father and me first before thinking about anything else. After so many years, cant you see what she means? She has always hated the bad effects caused by internal strife.

Dongfang Liuyun spoke word by word, and when she heard it, it was like a gust of cold wind that gradually blew away the haze in Song Sitings heart.

So, you and your father have been dissatisfied with me all these years, but you just endured it and didnt say anything? Song Siting asked in a daze.

You know my attitude very well. As for father, he just cares about you and doesnt want you to feel wronged.

Chapter 1854: Kill the Devil Together

Chapter 1854: Kill the Devil Together

Law Hitesh

Xing Tian lost a battle, yet he was still wielding the shield and axe, his strong will would never fade!

When Xing Tians battle axe descended, Ji Hao heard thunder bursting right by his ears and saw countless warriors who were covered in blood and had lost their limbs. He saw those warriors standing right before his face, wielding their weapons and roaring with all their strength.

A scorching, strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of burning metals came at Ji Haos face. Tremendous spirit blood power waves swept across the space like a tsunami, and Ji Hao felt that his body was burning. Even his embryo of Dao, which hid deep inside his spiritual space, trembled because of the overwhelming spirit blood power waves.

Ji Hao had grown an embryo of Dao and begun learning about the great Dao of nature. His body had already started merging with the great Dao, which meant he had stepped into a basic level of the unity of nature and man. But, despite his power, his embryo of Dao was shaken by Xing Tians spirit blood power. If he were weaker, his primordial spirit might have been destroyed by Xing Tians power, and his cultivation might have been obliterated!

Xing Tian was such a dreadful being. As the legend stated, he was the strongest god of war back in the ancient time.

Wu Bi burst into raging howls. Zang Yuanzi seized the chance and planted his six swords in Wu Bis chest. Blood splashed as Wu Bis body wriggled like a beheaded poisonous snake. His arms twitched and fingers locked together as he tremblingly cast an evil spell while cursing with wrath.

Xing Tian raised his battle axe again, aimed at Wu Bis other heads, and launched another strike. Wu Bi barely managed to dodge.

Crack!

Another head of his was chopped off by Xing Tian. The last head screamed in pain while the chopped head transformed into a cloud of dark mist and flew back to his body.

Ji Hao showed his face suddenly. He gave a bright shout, rubbed his hands, and cast the thunder magic he learned from Priest Dachi, Priest Qingwei, and Priest Yu Yu. Thunderbolts struck down on Wu Bi like a thunderstorm.

Golden, purple, green, the water-tank-sized thunderbolts exploded deafeningly. Fiery lights shone out of the thunderbolts and filled the world up with a pure, positive thunder power. A strong ozone smell spread in the air.

After absorbing the spring from the living calabash, Ji Haos current power was as pure as the powers of saints. In terms of quantity, the total amount of his power equaled to the amount a saint could attain through tens of billions of years of severe cultivation. Just then, he cast the thunder magic with his full power. Every bolt of thunder he created was crystalline, containing an extremely pure thunder power, his thunder magics were now twice as powerful as before.

Following a series of sizzling noise, thunderbolts wrapped up Wu Bi and his chopped heads and arms. The thunderbolts exploded dazzlingly as lava-like electric currents surged in the space like rapidly flowing rivers.

The strong and violent electric currents tore apart the space like sharp swords, then twisted and nearly collapsed the sky, also quaking the earth. The aftermath of the explosion of one thunderbolt broke Emperor Xuns palace and tore down the jade stage. Emperor Xun and a group of Gong Sun Family elders and clan leaders all fell to the ground.

The sky was suddenly illuminated as the thunderbolts emitted an eye-piercing light.

Wu Bis heads and arms which were chopped off by Xing Tian vanished under Ji Haos thunder magic, without leaving any trace. Wu Bi lost these body parts forever. He was able to regrow his body from a single drop of blood and cast all kinds of evil, powerful magic, but he could no longer retrieve the spirit blood power contained in his lost body parts.

Ji Hao! Wu Bi turned around and screamed at Ji Hao.

With shock, Zang Yuanzi pulled out his sword from Wu Bis body, then ran straight away. Ji Hao brought another wave of thunderbolts down from the sky and enveloped Zang Yuanzi. Zang Yuanzi ran fast, but still, a bolt of thunder struck right on his head.

Along with a thunder blast, one head and six arms of his were blown into pieces. The violent thunder power immediately destroyed that head and six arms, as electric currents even drilled into his body to hurt him brutally.

As same as Wu Bi, Zang Yuanzi burst into thunderous roars with both rage and shock. He glanced at Ji Hao, eyes filled with hatred, then turned around and fled to his brothers at his highest speed. No matter how angry he was, he wasnt stupid enough to stay around Xing Tian, who showed up so suddenly…Zang Yuanzi was deeply confused at the moment Xing Tian? He had disappeared for countless years. Why was he here?

Clearly, Xing Tian was aiming at Wu Bi…Ji Hao suddenly showed up too, also targeting Wu Bi!

Were Xing Tian and Ji Hao on the same side?

Zang Yuanzi was confused so badly that he just couldnt figure out what was really happening. His few brothers transformed into long streaks of light that flew into the sky and quickly formed a small formation to protect Zang Yuanzi.

The few Chu Wu Clan elders who followed Wu Bi here roared hoarsely, transformed into devil shapes, and rose into the sky, raising dense dark clouds and raging dark flames. While cursing loudly, they flew towards Ji Hao. From a long distance away, they pointed their fingers at Ji Hao and sent rolling black and red clouds that wrapped countless flying daggers and blades, striking at Ji Hao.

Ji Hao pointed back at them. Following his moves, the invisible and traceless pre-world magnetic force field immediately covered this area. Wu Bis giant body paused instantly, as the magnetic force field wrapped him up and disabled him from moving, no matter how hard he struggled. He had no choice but to watch Xing Tian swing the battle axe again towards his head.

The few Chu Wu Clan elders sent a giant number of flying daggers and blades towards Ji Hao. These flying weapons, which were made from essence metals and evil magic, flew into Ji Haos magnetic forcefield, then all buzzed slightly and clanked against each other like drunk people. These weapons swished across the air over and over again, yet none of them managed to approach Ji Hao.

Along with a sizzling noise, Xing Tian roared thunderously while his battle axe landed on Wu Bis last head. Wu Bi gave vent to a shrill howl while being cut into two pieces by Xing Tians battle axe. Bundles of muscle fibers suddenly grew out of his two body parts and entangled each other, attempting to pull the two pieces of body back together.

Harder! Xing Tian shouted in a muffled voice while wielding his shield hard. The large shield immediately expanded and turned tens of thousands of meters wide as it fell on the few Chu Wu Family elders.

Seven to eight devil elders vomited blood simultaneously as their bodies were flattened like pancakes. With blood spurting out from every corner of their bodies, they were sent flying backward.

Ji Hao gave a long and resonant growl, then pointed at the sky. In the sky, the sun dazzled suddenly. The entire Pan Gu Motherland again fell into darkness while a ten-thousand-meters-thick golden beam of light descended from the sun and landed on Wu Bis body.

Chapter 1951 Ill Do You the Favor

Even though the little girl knew nothing about boy-girl relationships, she felt Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying ought to be dating. Otherwise, it felt odd for them to hang out.

Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying could not help feeling happy when the little girl said they looked like a good match.

Dont tell me the guy is too cheap to even buy a flower? So what if he is good-looking? I didnt expect him to be so petty. No matter how handsome he is, I would never accept a man like him as my boyfriend, said a woman in disdain from nearby.

Precisely! Who is he saving the money for if he is unwilling to spend it on his girl? Is he planning to use it on some other girl?

Uh huh. Men do this all the time. They are generous to outsiders while they are petty to their closest kin.

These words instantly left Xu Jinchen awkward. Of course, he could afford to buy a single stalk of flower! He could afford to buy hundreds and hundreds of flowers, so one flower was nothing.

However, he was worried that Zi Beiying would turn down his flower, so he wanted to pretend to get forced into buying the flowers and ask Zi Beiying to do him the favor of accepting them.

Although the womens gossip made him feel awkward, it made him even more determined to buy flowers.

Zi Beiying felt tickled. She wanted to see how Xu Jinchen would handle this matter, so she stood by leisurely waiting for the action.

How much do your flowers cost? I will buy all of them, but you have to help me give them to that lady over there. I am worried she might not accept them, said Xu Jinchen. Not only would he be able to react in response to what the crowd was saying, Zi Beiying would not have the chance to reject them.

Zi Beiying instantly glared at Xu Jinchen. She knew exactly what he was trying to pull! Although she acted angry, she was happy in her heart.

$10 per stalk. Since I have 20 stalks of flowers here, that makes $200. The girl was delighted to make the sale. She instantly handed the flowers to Zi Beiying. She was worried that Zi Beiying might refuse to take them, so she said sadly, Miss, please accept them! I havent sold anything all morning. I had such a hard time selling them

Just as Xu Jinchen expected, Zi Beiying was incapable of refusing the little girl, especially when she put on a sad face. If Zi Beiying did not accept those flowers, it would make her look like a bully.

Zi Beiying accepted those flowers as she glared at Xu Jinchen as though she was upset that he got her involved. However, Xu Jinchen kept looking at her innocently.

However, Xu Jinchen could not help worrying. Despite knowing it was impossible for Zi Beiying to turn down the little girl, he could not suppress his worry. The moment Zi Beiying accepted the flowers, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately gave the girl the money.

Thank you so much. I hope you two will live a long happy life together and have plenty of children. The little girl took the money and thanked them before she said a few nice things and left.

The little girls words instantly left Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying embarrassed.

It was all your fault. Otherwise, she wouldnt have said all those strange things to us! Zi Beiying glared at Xu Jinchen and spoke angrily, but in her heart, she liked the things she heard and certainly hoped so.

She was just a kid, so she didnt know better. In any case, she was just being kind! Xu Jinchen touched his nose as he averted eye contact with Zi Beiying as he felt guilty for harboring those thoughts in his mind.

Humph! You were the one who bought these flowers, so I am returning them to you. I only accepted them out of pity for the little girl. Zi Beiying felt odd accepting the flowers, so she deliberately returned them to Xu Jinchen.

Cant you just do me the favor and take them? How could you return them to me after accepting them in front of so many people? Are you trying to make me a laughingstock? Also, do you despise these flowers? Or do you hate me or something? said Xu Jinchen with a hurt look on his face.

Zi Beiying did not dare to make eye contact with Xu Jinchen. On account of driving me around town and hanging out with me, I will do you the favor!

Whatever it was, Xu Jinchen was happy that Zi Beiying was willing to take them.

The auction commenced at 10:00 am. Since there were a lot of auction items, it was split into two parts and the bronze chimes were due to be auctioned in the afternoon, so Gu Ning and the others arrived in the morning.

The auction was held in hall one of the Huarong Auction House at 1 Wang Fu Street in the eastern district. Also, it was the largest auction house in the city. Since it was a nationally owned auction house, it had a high reputation.

Gu Ning arrived at the Huarong Auction House at 9:30am. By the time she arrived, most of the people had already gotten there, so the parking lot was filled with luxury cars. Would they be able to buy expensive items from an auction if they were not rich and powerful?

Chen Darong was already there when Gu Ning arrived. However, he did not go in right away and waited for Gu Ning at the auction house main hall.

A lot of people had approached Xiangyun Antique-store to ask about the bronze chimes, so most of the people were acquainted with Chen Darong. The moment they saw him, they came over to greet him or chat.

A lot of the people were rather friendly to him, but there were hostile people out there as well.

Mr Chen, mind if I ask? Where did you get the bronze chimes from? asked a rotund man who was around 1.7 meters tall.

Everyone was keenly aware that they obtained the bronze chimes through illegal means, but no one asked. Since the man brought it up so publicly, he was clearly here to make trouble.

No one asked about its source since they already knew it came through illegal means. However, Xiangyun Antique-store would not be held legally accountable if they dared to put it up on auction

The man knew this full well, but he could not help feeling jealous and resentful, so he could not resist making trouble.

The man was in the antique industry and produced imitation products as well. His company was an even bigger business than Xiangyun Antique-store in the past, but Xiangyun Antique-store surpassed him overwhelmingly after they branched into the business of producing imitations, so the man could not help feeling competitive. However, Xiangyun Antique-store had powerful people behind it, so he did not dare to blatantly attack them.

The moment he asked, everyone pricked their ears to listen. Despite knowing that the bronze chimes came through illegal means, they wanted to hear what Chen Darong had to say, but no one dared to do it on their own.

Im not sure either. My boss brought it over, replied Chen Darong unhurriedly in a candid manner. He neither appeared guilty nor annoyed by the question.

Chapter 1853: Xing Tian Cuts the Devil

Chapter 1853: Xing Tian Cuts the Devil

Law Hitesh

While enjoying the intense battle fighting between Zang Yuanzi and Wu Bi in Emperor Xuns palace, Ji Hao had been watching the entire Pan Gu Motherland with the powers of the sun and natural stars.

After all, as one of the five divine emperors, the one who was chosen by the world itself because of the measureless natural reward he earned, Ji Hao had quite a lot of privileges. He witnessed every action taken by Yu Meng and the other colony world nobles.

Those colony world nobles raised a formidable army and marched to Chu Wu Clan day and night, launching a surprise offensive. Why?

Ji Hao kept eyes on them with interests. But of course, he paid more attention to Human Eighteen. This man looked nothing like the current human beings. This might sound inappropriate, but almost every living human being looked fierce and naughty like a Chaos beast. However, Human Eighteen was so gentle and suave, just like a scholar with immense learning!

How could such a human being exist in this era?

This kid is interesting…Is he a secret descendant of a top-grade family? Or, a future hope raised by a top-secret organization? Or, a disciple of a mysterious, powerful being? Ji Has narrowed his eyes, guessing Human Eighteens background while watching Zang Yuanzi and Wu Bis battle.

Ji Hao pondered for quite a while but failed to come to a conclusion. The power he sensed from Human Eighteen wasnt strong, but was very special. In Ji Haos eyes, Human Eighteen was surrounded by a faint layer of mist, that he couldnt get any information from what he said or did to make good guesses about the latters background.

Ji Hao, dont doubt Human Eighteen. He truly is one of us. A gentle yet imperial voice suddenly echoed by Ji Haos years. As the successor of East Emperor Taiyis throne, you should have seen Yu Meng and his people moves. Chu Wu Clan is a cancer of the humankind, so we are uprooting it…Later, our people will attack Wu Bi. Can you cooperate with them to kill him?

A tremor went through Ji Haos body. He was a powerful being, and a master of the great Dao of extreme negative and the great Dao of sun. He had covered his body with the Dao of extreme negative and covered his traces with the sunlight, also twisting the space with his divine emperor power. How could any ordinary being discover him?

He raised his head and saw the smiling Emperor Shun and a majestic-looking half-human, half-snake man standing side by side under a towering tree on top of a mountain.

I… am Fuxi! The half-snake man smiled and nodded at Ji Hao. Behind him, a black and white mist rose and gradually became a profound pre-world Taiji pattern. It released a mysterious power that covered the entire mountain. Ji Hao clearly saw Emperor Shun and this man, but he couldnt feel them.

This was a very strange and uncomfortable feeling. Fuxi and Emperor Shun were right there, but all of Ji Haos sensations, including his physical eyes, had been clearly telling him that that area was completely empty.

What a terrifying power! What a magical power!

With shock, Ji Hao realized that Fuxi had a much deeper understanding of the great Dao of nature than he did. He even felt that even Priest Tong Jiong, who he met in Feng Dao Mount, was far weaker than Fuxi.

The only explanation for this could be that Fuxi had already stepped into the supreme, measureless world of saints!

Looking at the smiling Fuxi and Emperor Shun, who was grinning, filled with a positive power and without any dark energy left inside his body, Ji Hao suddenly felt relieved. He smiled too, and made a long and deep bow to Fuxi from hundreds of meters away with reverence.

Ji Hao had a feeling that this wasnt a clone of Fuxi, but instead, this was the real him!

Fuxi left Pan Gu world countless years ago, but now, he had returned!

In addition, Human Eighteen was under his lead!

And, Human Eighteen knew Yu Meng!

And, driven by interests, Yu Meng and the other colony world nobles were commanded by Human Eighteen so easily!

Ji Hao felt so relieved. He filled his face up with a bright smile while looking at Fuxi and Emperor Shun. He didnt say a word, but both Fuxi and Emperor Shun heard him complaining, Good, since you old people have returned, the heavy burdens on our shoulders can be eased! Ahyaya, you old foxes, what on earth have you been planning?

Fuxi smiled warmly. His gentle voice again echoed by Ji Haos ears, If a man has a sore, we need to wait until it emerges on the skin, then cut it off entirely. Then, we cover the wound with medicine, treat the patient with decoction, and let him rest and recover…Cutting the sore will cause bleeding and pain, and will leave ugly scars on the skin. But, the man can only be healthy again when it is cut off!

We are facing all kinds of enemies. We can defeat all the enemies only after we have regained our health and restored our strength. Fuxi smilingly nodded at Ji Hao and asked, Ji Hao, am I right?

Ji Hao pondered briefly, then smiled and nodded.

Zang Yuanzi and Wu Bi both released their true fires. They flew up to the higher sky as their bodies swelled to tens of thousands of meters tall, and fought madly in the sky like two giants. Thunderbolts dazzled through the sky along with raging fires. Their bodies were both covered in wounds, and their blood was pouring down.

This battle had lasted for days. Their powers had been weakened largely, and even their eyes were slightly unfocused.

Right at this moment, Ji Hao heard a deafening swishing noise, coming closer and closer. He immediately raised his head and saw a burning meteor emerging from the highest sky, diving straight down from the sky as it left a tens of miles long streak of raging flame in the air.

In a moment, this meteor reached about a hundred miles from the palace from billions of miles away.

Inside the burning meteor, a headless giant wielded a shield with one hand and carried a giant axe with the other. He used his nipples as eyes and bellybutton as mouth. He widely opened his mouth and gave a thunderous roar.

Xin-Xing Tian! Ji Hao suddenly recalled the giant figure he saw back when he entered the Chaos the first time with the golden bridge!

Xing Tian! The headless giant roared. From tens of miles away, he swung his battle axe at Wu Bi and sent out an arc-shaped beam of cold light. The light struck violently on Wu Bis body, which was thousands of meters tall at the moment.

Following a shrill howl, one head and nine arms of Wu Bi were cut off.

Haha! Zang Yuanzi seized the opportunity and penetrated Wu Bis chest with six longswords.

Chapter 1950 The Incident With Rosesf

Zi Beiying frowned slightly and looked unhappy and was clearly annoyed with Xu Jinchen. Why? Since you can take me inside, just do it!

She did not want Xu Jinchen to take her there.

Xu Jinchen looked upset. Would it kill you to come with me?

Humph! I am worried about bumping into your potential girlfriend. I dont want her to misunderstand, said Zi Beiying ambiguously.

Xu Jinchen looked annoyed. It was not my fault. My mother was the one who tried to match-make us. freewebnvel.cm

Zi Beiying said nothing. She knew it had nothing to do with Xu Jinchen, but she could not help feeling upset.

Well, I can bring someone along, but Im only entitled to bring one person. Since I already have to take my subordinate there, I cant take you. Jinchen can get his hands on more invitations, so he can definitely take you inside, said Gu Ning. It was naturally bullshit. She could bring as many people as she wanted.

In that case, I am not going, said Zi Beiying. She was clearly resentful of Xu Jinchen.

Are you really not going? This is a rare major auction. A lot of priceless antiques will be auctioned at the event. I am there to auction my antique and it is the hottest item at the auction. Its auction has already caused a furor in the antique and music industry! said Gu Ning. Even though it was unwise to get involved in their relationship, Zi Beiying clearly wanted to go and simply refused since she was angry with Xu Jinchen.

What are you auctioning? How could it cause a major commotion in the antique and music industry? asked Zi Beiying curiously.

Zi Beiying was not alone, Xu Jinchen and the others were equally curious. Since they did not dabble in antiques, they were unaware.

Its an entire set of bronze chimes worth at least $5 billion! said Gu Ning

Even though Zi Beiying and the others did not know what bronze chimes were and what they meant, they were startled to hear they fetched such an astronomical figure.

Oh god! Is it really worth that much? said Zi Beiying in shock.

Yes, Gu Ning answered.

Auction items were typically sent over a day in advance, but the bronze chimes were simply too heavy and huge, so it did not make sense to bring them over and an exception was made for the bidders to view them using photos. The successful bidder could collect the actual bronze chimes after the event.

Since the auction was held at a national auction house, people were confident they would not get swindled. Also, they only needed to pay after seeing the antique and verifying its authenticity.

The bronze chimes would definitely go to the Palace Museum, so they were unconcerned whether these photos would raise doubts among the bidders. After the auction, the bronze chimes would be sent to the museum.

Zi Beiying felt she had to go. She had just refused to go to the auction with Xu Jinchen, so she felt embarrassed to change her mind.

Gu Ning glanced at Xu Jinchen when she detected Zi Beiyings concerns and gestured for him to ask again. He was a man! If he gave in a little, the problem will be solved. If he liked the girl, he had to deal with the occasional tantrum.

Xu Jinchen instantly caught her drift and said to Zi Beiying ingratiatingly, Why dont you just keep me company and come with me?

Fine! I will do you the favor. Now that he made the offer again, Zi Beiying did not continue turning him down.

The atmosphere between Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying eased up.

Jing Yunyao could tell that Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying liked each other, but she did not say it out loud.

She could not help remembering her life with Leng Yunhan. However, she could only keep memories of him.

Since it was almost time to eat, all of them headed to dinner, after which Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao headed back and Zi Beiying was left in Xu Jinchens care.

Where should we go now? asked Xu Jinchen.

Im new in town, so I dont know where to go, replied Zi Beiying. Since you were born here, you ought to know where we can hang out.

Erm Although I am a local, I rarely go out, so I am not sure where to go either, said Xu Jinchen rather sheepishly. He usually went to the clubhouse. Since he usually hung out with men, men tended to drink when they were together. It was not like he could go sightseeing with a bunch of blokes!

Since you dont know where we can go, then lets just go back, said Zi Beiying somewhat angrily.

Xu Jinchen got anxious. He was not keen on sending her home so early! He suddenly recalled a place they could go to and said, Why dont we go to the ancient town? I heard the scenery is pretty good at night.

Then lets go! Zi Beiying did not want to go back early either. She merely said it in a fit of anger and did not mean it.

Mengda and Nan glanced at each other feeling speechless. Zi Beiying was becoming increasingly proud and kept having mood swings.

They headed to the ancient town. It was more like a village located in the city and looked like it was from ancient times. Although some renovation was done to it, the basic structure and buildings were unchanged.

Even though it was not the weekend, the ancient town was packed, and all kinds of snacks and toys were available for sale.

Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying made a handsome couple, so a lot of people turned to look.

A girl holding a rose walked up to Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying and said, Sir, why dont you buy a rose for your lovely girlfriend?

Girlfriend?

Xu Jinchen and Zi Beiying automatically looked at each other before they swiftly averted their eyes uneasily.

Zi Beiying was about to deny it, but Xu Jinchen stepped forward before she knew it and asked the little girl as he smiled warmly, Why did you think she was my girl? Just because we are a man and woman doesnt make us an item! We might have been friends or even siblings!

Zi Beiying wanted to deny they were dating, but she inexplicably felt angry at what Xu Jinchen said.

The little girl was instantly flustered and worried she might have said the wrong thing, so she said cautiously, Then are you siblings?

We arent siblings, replied Zi Beiying automatically.

The little girl finally heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Jinchen looked equally relieved.

Why arent you dating if you are not siblings and make such a handsome couple? Do you like some other girl? Do you like some other guy? If you were not interested in each other, you wouldnt have hung out together! said the little girl.

Chapter 1898 — Trying To Take Advantage?

EndlessFantasy Translation EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Lei stood in the corridor and watched her disappear around the corner. He then retracted his gaze and walked down the stairs.

After turning through the winding corridor, Qi Lei arrived at the pavilion he saw outside Dongfang Liuyuns bedroom balcony.

The pavilion was clean and tidy. The stone tables and chairs were covered with a thick blanket. There were also some petals and fallen leaves at the bottom of the stairs in front of the pavilion. It looked very quiet.

This pavilion was designed by Grandfather personally. Also, the fence here was built by Grandfather himself. Doesnt it look good?

Qi Lei had just walked up the stairs when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Qi Lei turned his head and saw Dongfang Rouer standing elegantly on the cement path not far below. Her soft white wool gown made her skin look even fairer and more alluring. At this moment, there was a smile on her face.

When she saw Qi Lei looking over, she continued walking forward. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the stairs in front of Qi Lei. She raised her head slightly to look at Qi Lei.

Qi Lei sized her up before saying calmly, Fortunately, Liuyun mentioned it to me before.

After saying that, he retracted his gaze and walked into the pavilion.

Dongfang Rouer thought for a moment before following him. She only stopped when she reached Qi Leis side.

I never knew that President Qi had such a relationship with Fourth Sister.

Dongfang Rouer said softly as she turned to look at the cold-looking Qi Lei. Can you tell me how you got together with my Fourth Sister?

Dongfang Rouers tone was filled with sincerity. If Qi Lei had not known that Dongfang Liuyun did not have a good relationship with this woman, he would have been moved when he heard that.

Has Fifth Lady always liked sharing the process of her feelings with others? Qi Lei asked back without looking at Dongfang Rouer.

Besides, theres no need to report this to Fifth Lady, is there?

Qi Leis tone was very calm, but it sounded bleak and harsh to Dongfang Rouers ears. Naturally, she could hear that Qi Lei seemed to have some hostility toward her. freewbnoel.com

Initially, she wanted to ask about the situation at the city east, but from the looks of it, Qi Lei did not have a good impression of them. She was afraid that it would not be beneficial. Of course, Dongfang Rouer quickly blamed Dongfang Liuyun for this matter.

If it was not for Dongfang Liuyuns pillow talk, Qi Lei would not be like this.

President Qi, youre overthinking. Im just concerned about Fourth Sister. Dongfang Rouer smiled faintly.

Fourth Sister is actually not having it easy. Although there are some misunderstandings between us sisters, as Grandmother said, family is still family. Of course, I also hope that she can live well. Especially these years, she really havent had it easy.

Speaking of these things, Dongfang Rouers eyes dimmed.

In fact, Dongfang Rouers feelings towards Dongfang Liuyun were complicated. Other than the hatred that she could not avoid, there was also some admiration and some jealousy.

Dongfang Rouer admired Dongfang Liuyuns ability and personality, but…

From what Fifth Lady said, she seems to understand my wife very well.

Only then did Qi Lei turn his head and glance at her.

Hearing this, Dongfang Rouer smiled

We can be considered sisters who grew up together. Shes fourth in the family, and Im fifth. Were cousins. How can we not be familiar with each other?

Fourth Sister has been doing very well since she was young. Shes also very beautiful. Shes a very outstanding person. Ive been following in her footsteps all along. When she was young, she had a strong personality, but she didnt like to talk much. She was a quiet girl. In fact, many of the female students in the class dont really like her.

As Dongfang Rouer spoke, she chuckled and took a deep breath before continuing, You know, thats just a girls jealousy.

Fourth sister and I arent that close. Shes a bright pearl, and many people are fascinated by her. Shes had many suitors since she was young. I think youve heard of Lan Xiu and Fujiwara, right?

Dongfang Rouer looked at Qi Lei, but she did not see any change in his expression. She took a deep breath and lowered her eyes. Theyre very good friends, and theyve all been in love with Fourth Sister for a long time.

Fifth Lady seems to be quite concerned about Liuyuns feelings. But what do you mean by what youre saying now?

Qi Lei raised his handsome brows. He looked at Dongfang Rouer with a meaningful gaze.

I dont have any intentions. Im just happy to see that President Qi and Fourth Sister are doing well. Of course, I hope that you can treat her better. After all, when I think of what Fourth Sister went through, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Dongfang Rouer sighed softly. President Qi should be very clear about the Dongfang familys situation by now.

I dont know whats going on. Im not interested in understanding or getting involved in the Dongfang familys matters. The only person I married was Dongfang Liuyun. Shes now my wife, Mrs. Qi. It has nothing to do with the so-called Dongfang family or the Dongfang Group.

As soon as Dongfang Rouer finished speaking, Qi Lei cut her off.

If Fifth Lady is here to chat with me because of what happened in the city, then Im afraid Ill have to disappoint Fifth Lady. The research project is now under the jurisdiction of Vice President Wang Chun of the company. If you really want to do this project, you can go directly to Vice President Wang Chun to understand the situation. The evaluation team will evaluate the project. If all the indicators are feasible, then the project can be discussed. Otherwise, I cant do a loss-making business, what do you think? Fifth Lady?

Qi Leis tone was indifferent as he looked at Dongfang Rouer calmly.

The feasibility of the project is certain. However, I hope that there are some things that you can take care of. Now that were still a family, we naturally wont let our own people do a loss-making business. Otherwise, Grandmother wont agree. You heard what Grandmother said at the dinner table just now, didnt you? Dongfang Rouer said.

Fifth Lady is also considered half a merchant. Dont you understand the rules of the sea of commerce? Dont think so highly of me. Im a very traditional merchant. I only seek profit. The more spacious the road to riches, the better. No one is willing to seal the road.

President Qi doesnt trust me, or does he not trust the Dongfang Group? Dongfang Rouer asked.

Dont trust you? May I ask, why should I trust you?

Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Rouer in surprise.
