Mai Bao Xiao Lang Jun
Chapter 84 Late-Night Meeting
Yes, that was it—the feeling of not really liking it, not wanting to accept it, but having to endure it for the time being!
Guan Ya couldn't help but frown, but more than that, she was puzzled, unable to understand why her mother's friend would treat her with such an attitude.
"Ya Ya, you're here." Fu Xue greeted her daughter with a smile, inviting her to sit down and introducing her to Chen Shu.
"This is my daughter, Guan Ya. Ya Ya, this is Aunt Chen. Mom has mentioned her to you many times."
At this moment, Chen Shu had already withdrawn her critical gaze, smiled, and said approvingly, "Indeed, she is beautiful, even more beautiful than your mother was when she was young!"
Although she wasn't completely satisfied with this daughter-in-law, Chen Shu felt she couldn't find fault with her appearance.
Guan Ya hung her bag on the coat rack, and a sweet smile bloomed on her exquisite and beautiful mixed-race face. "Hello, Aunt Chen, thank you for the compliment."
Chen Shu gave an "Mm" sound, knowingly asking, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Guan Ya first looked at her mother, and seeing a hint of embarrassment on her face, her smile immediately faded. "No!"
Her tone was much colder!
She had discerned from her mother's micro-expressions that Aunt Chen knew about her boyfriend, Yuanshi Tianzun, and that Yuanshi Tianzun had just returned to Lingjing Xingzhe not long ago!
What was the meaning of deliberately mentioning it at this moment?
Guan Ya kept a straight face and didn't say a word, feeling unhappy in her heart. At the same time, she didn't want to appear too relaxed when people mentioned her boyfriend who had returned to Lingjing Xingzhe.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere at the dinner table, Fu Xue quickly smoothed things over, "Ya Ya, your Aunt Chen has a son. It is said that he is a talented and outstanding man. She asks me to play matchmaker every day, wanting you to be her daughter-in-law!"
There's no need. Why are you introducing me to all sorts of mismatched people? Guan Ya gave a disapproving but polite smile, and then saw that the Aunt Chen opposite her also showed a slightly dissatisfied smile!
Fu Xue cleared her throat and asked with an unchanged smile, "Jumang? Why didn't he come with you? Is he held up by work? Will he be here later...?"
Hearing this, Chen Shu also looked back at Guan Ya.
Hmm? This woman seems a little nervous and resistant, but also somewhat expectant and gentle? As a sentry, Guan Ya keenly sensed Aunt Chen's emotions.
Somewhat shocked and uncomprehending!
"He has to have dinner with a specialist from headquarters, Chris Gustaf." Guan Ya said.
Chris Gustaf? Fu Xue thought for a second and suddenly realized, "The Demon Lord's lover, ah. Wouldn't that mean she's going to fight with Winnie Bernt?" She looked like she was gossiping.
Chen Shu lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and changed the subject. "Did Ya Ya have any boyfriends before she met Yuanshi Tianzun?"
Guan Ya smiled politely and said, "First love, and I don't plan on having a boyfriend in the future!"
She nipped it in the bud, lest this aunt really introduce her son to her, although she felt from Chen Shu's attitude that the other party looked down on her a bit!
Chen Shu nodded, "What level are you now? I heard from Fu Xue that you were promoted to Saint this year, right?"
Guan Ya said, "Level five, late stage!"
"Not bad for the speed of leveling up!" Chen Shu nodded slightly, indicating her approval!
Guan Ya frowned. This woman was clearly an ordinary person, yet she acted like she was commenting on a disappointing junior!
"I heard that the Fu family wants you to marry into the Miller family. Now that Yuanshi Tianzun has returned to Lingjing Xingzhe, what are your thoughts?" Chen Shu asked, in a casual tone, "I'm just asking, you don't have to answer if you don't want to!"
As expected, Guan Ya ignored her!
Fu Xue glared at her daughter and said, "Alas, after Yuanshi returned to Lingjing Xingzhe, the clan elders did want to bring up this matter again and have Guan Ya marry into the Miller family! The Miller family also agreed, but there was a condition: they hoped Guan Ya would marry them with Yuanshi's relics!"
Chen Shu sneered: "What do they want?"
Fu Xue lowered her voice: "The Miller family wants the Sacrificial Heaven Set. The Miller family elders didn't agree at first. After negotiation, they finally reached an agreement. The Sacrificial Heaven Set will be shared by the Fu family and the Miller family. Ya Ya will marry with two parts of the Sacrificial Heaven Set and half of the relics. The Miller family will take over all of the Fu family's assets in Europe and the Free Federation at a high price, and give 5% of the Miller family's future ten-year family income to the Fu family free of charge."
Chen Shu sneered repeatedly: "What a calculation!"
Guan Ya was stunned when she heard this. "Mom, how come I don't know about these things?"
Fu Xue glared at her daughter. "Because Fu Qingyang didn't agree. Fu Qingyang said that Yuanshi Tianzun was supported by him, and Yuanshi Tianzun's relics should belong to him. This is the return on his investment. If the clan elders and the Miller family dare to snatch his things, they can wait for a war with the Five Elements Alliance!"
"Fu Qingyang is now one of the people in power in the Five Elements Alliance, on an equal footing with the Nine Elders, and the clan elders don't dare to offend him!"
"Oh, so Fu Qingyang took on everything in the end!" Guan Ya nodded, indicating that she understood!
In fact, she didn't really care about the clan elders now. Excluding her boyfriend and cousin, she herself was a level 5 swordsman with a large number of Saint-level props lying in her inventory. There were also many props reserves in the Return of the Dead warehouse. It was not a problem to reach level 6 this year!
With such strength, she could become a mainstay in any organization!
"Actually, marrying into the Miller family is not bad." Chen Shu said with a smile, "Being well-matched is very important. This directly determines the quality of life and future development after marriage!"
"Mm!"
It was a privilege for Fu Xue's daughter to marry her son. At this time, the waiter pushed the door open and asked if the guests could be served. After receiving an affirmative answer, he bowed and retreated!
In a private room more than ten meters away, Sean Mede, William, and Zhang Yuanqing were dining with the Gustaf family's eldest daughter!
Zhang Yuanqing was able to sit here, partly because of his great achievements and outstanding military exploits, and partly because he represented the Five Elements Alliance!
Chris put down her knife and fork, picked up some fine feed from the porcelain dish next to her, and put it into the glass fish tank!
The colorful little fish, Ruth, swayed her tail lightly, and her delicate fish lips opened and closed, swallowing the feed floating on the surface of the water!
Then ~ she said娇聲, "The master has seen the situation in New Covenant County in the report, but the details are not very clear. Can the three of you tell me in detail?"
Sean Mede took the lead and said, "No problem."
He immediately began to recount the various details after the confrontation between the two major camps in New Covenant County: the initial crackdown on gangs, the continuous assassinations of celebrities in the political and business circles in the middle, the Saints entering the field in the later period, and the night of the port.
During this period, there were many conflicts between the law-abiding organizations in the First District that Zhang Yuanqing had not come into contact with!
Chris listened patiently ~ ~ Ruth in the fish tank said: "Headquarters has assigned me two tasks to come to New Covenant County. One is to take over Qianning's work and assist the New Covenant County branch in fighting against the evil camp, and the other task is to find out the conspiracy of the evil camp."
"Winnie once sent an email to headquarters ~ the evil Chen camp is waiting for the opportunity to destroy the Sea God Church."
"Headquarters asked me to find out about this matter. What is the Sea God Church's opinion?"
"The Sea God Church doesn't want to interfere in the struggle between the Merchant Guild and the Dionysus Club. Even if it later escalated into a camp war, the Sea God Church often slacked off! It wasn't until Winnie sent that email to the punishment headquarters that the Sea God Church reluctantly entered the field!" Sean ● Mede smiled wryly.
"The Sea God Church doesn't believe our tree intelligence!" Ruth in the fish tank mocked: "That's right, a group of arrogant, grumpy, and low-quality sea monsters. Their IQ is only slightly stronger than the fire masters in the Second District!" After saying that, Chris gave Ruth a cold look!!
The little fish was so scared that it shrank to the bottom of the tank!!
Who provoked the fire master? Why are people in the First District also humiliating the fire master!!!
Zhang Yuanqing felt indignant for Red Rooster! Sean explained, "The news was provided by Jumang, from the demonic beast Hass!"
The demonic beast Hass is a peak Saint. How could it know the secret of destroying a law-abiding organization! Bao Mang is a foreigner, and the information provided is false. Who knows if it's true or false!
Regardless of their level or background, it was destined that the Sea God Church would not believe this matter too much!!
Chris suddenly realized and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Jumang. Winnie Bernt's report mentioned the source of the intelligence in the email!! The punishment headquarters attached so much importance to it because Winnie's own level was there!
This meant that Winnie trusted Jumang very much and believed that the intelligence would not be false!!
The three of them talked while eating fish. After two bottles of red wine, Zhang Yuanqing saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, and immediately asked, "Miss, I have something I want to ask you!"
Chris put down her knife and looked over in surprise!
"Say it!" The words were simple, Ruth said!!
"I heard that you and the Demon Lord are in a romantic relationship ~ I want to inquire on behalf of Elder Fu Qingyang, has the Demon Lord ever given you a fragment of the key to the Yu Hua Xian Men treasure trove?"
The banquet atmosphere fell into an eerie silence!!
Sean and Osi looked at each other, wondering if this kid was tired of living?? Otherwise, why would he dance ballet in a minefield!
Everyone knew that Miss Chris hated hearing the words Demon Lord the most. The Demon Lord's licentious behavior had disappointed Chris. During the month she and Winnie were fighting for jealousy and were imprisoned by headquarters, the Demon Lord did not visit. The two were lovers, and they did not learn their lesson. They turned around and went into Donna's body to go to Wushan with her.
The frost was covered in the evening and morning. After being released from prison, Chris broke off with the Demon Lord and turned into hate because of love. She could no longer hear the words Demon Lord.
"Wake up, wake up!!!"
Muddledly, Zhang Yuanqing felt someone pushing him. He opened his eyes and felt dizzy. He had a headache after being drunk.
"Sean Bu Zhang!!" Looking at the middle-aged man with short golden hair in front of him, and then looking at the messy dining table in front of him, he suddenly remembered that he was eating with Miss Chris? ? Did you drink too much alcohol? ?
"Am I too drunk?" Zhang Yuanqing asked with an unclear mind.
"You were knocked unconscious by Miss!" Sean · Mede glanced at him sideways!
"Did Miss finally answer my question!!" Zhang Yuanqing said unwillingly. He reached out and touched the back of his head, and felt a swollen lump! !
Tsk ~~ She hit hard!
"What do you say??" Sean Mede looked at him expressionlessly, with a hint of pity in his eyes. "Don't mention the Demon Lord in front of Miss. Don't you know that sea monsters are arrogant and irritable, and it's difficult to control their temper!!"
It seemed that the Demon Lord's key fragment was not with Chris, so it was likely to be with Winnie Fred or Elena! Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, "It was worth it to be beaten!!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuanqing took Sean Mede's car back to the bank building. He went to his room first, and then used Star Escape to come to Guan Ya's bedroom.
Guan Ya was wearing white exercise clothes, sitting on the ground with her legs folded, sensing sword intent.
"Tonight's dinner was not pleasant!" Zhang Yuanqing told her about being knocked unconscious!
After Guan Ya heard this, she opened her eyes and said with a smile, "This is a normal woman. I don't understand what those women who were abandoned by the Demon Lord but still miss him are thinking!! But the Demon Lord is a lucky person. His peach blossom luck is strong and has not condensed into peach blossom evil, otherwise, with his style, he would have died in the hands of women long ago!!"
Her tone was very disdainful and contemptuous of people like the Demon Lord who had chaotic relationships between men and women!
"How was your dinner tonight?" Zhang Yuanqing sat on the bed and picked up the Scorpio doll.
Guan Ya shook her head: "It wasn't very pleasant. Fu Xue's friend has a strange hostility towards me, and her words are barbed and sarcastic. She is obviously an ordinary person, but she is so confident that she seems to look down on me!"
"Oh."
Zhang Yuanqing just asked casually and was not interested in his mother-in-law and her friends!
After Guan Ya complained, she said again, "Fu Xue is here to talk about business. She wants to sign a contract with the penalty branch to build a factory in New Covenant County and supply mechanical weapons to the law-abiding organizations in the First District. Can you help with this matter!!"
The business instinct is not difficult to talk about, but if her boyfriend can come forward, the cooperation will be faster and more efficient!
After all, Jumang's reputation in New Covenant County is second only to the Ruler!
"I'll talk to Sean ● Mede tomorrow!!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded in agreement. He is also a shareholder of the mechanical manufacturing and R & D company!
He stayed in Guan Ya's room for half an hour and said, "I'm going out. I'm going to see the president later to report on my recent work!!"
In a luxury suite in a five-star hotel on Jingdao Ke, Chen Shu, who had just taken a bath, was standing by the window in a light-colored pajamas, blowing her hair!
In the noise of the hair dryer, a voice came from behind, "Why are you here in New Covenant County?"
A man wearing yellow pajamas and a silver mask leaned lazily on the head of the bed.
Chen Shu didn't turn around, as if she had expected his arrival long ago, and didn't reply. She blew her hair by herself!
A few minutes later, her hair was dry. She put down the hair dryer, opened the refrigerator in the bedroom, and opened two cans of beer ~~
"Yuanzi has come to New Covenant County. I want to see him. He will know about those things sooner or later!!"
The man took the canned beer and said with a smile, "It's necessary. He already knows whether you are the person in charge of Jishi Society or the backhand after Zhang Tianshi's revival."
Chen Shu frowned: "I'm not talking about these!"
"You want to say that, you can't tell him now, unless you want him to die!! But I want to tell you, Yuanzi has died once, and the Zimu Shrine can't be revived again." The man said in a deep voice!!
Chen Shu was silent for a moment and nodded.
The man smiled and said, "What's the matter with calling me?? My dear sister."
Chen Shu said in a low voice, "Abe ● Marshall is out of contact."
