Chapter 531: Mr. Lu's Path to Promotion
Zhang Jiucheng was an old fox, cunning as an old horse.
Although he made mistakes in some matters, when it came to observing the mentality and thoughts of young people, he had his ways.
Zhang Shen'er's indignant criticism of Lu Chengwen, to Zhang Jiucheng's ears, was simply resentment that Lu Chengwen hadn't dragged her into bed to torment her.
A girl's hatred, only this! Nothing else.
Experience. Speaking from experience.
Moreover, Zhang Jiucheng had personally seen Lu Chengwen snatch Zhang Shen'er away.
Just thinking simply, a girl, in that state, able to follow Lu Chengwen without hesitation, say she doesn't like Lu Chengwen, who would believe it?
So Zhang Jiucheng was very confident.
He half-closed his eyes, not even looking at Zhang Shen'er's performance.
Zhang Shen'er fidgeted: "I... I feel, it's too pitiful for Sister Ningxin to be with Lu Chengwen. Sister Ningxin is beautiful and talented, her figure is also good. Such a good girl, letting her be with that big pervert Lu Chengwen, isn't that letting Lu Chengwen off easy? I disagree."
Zhang Jiucheng said: "But Ningxin has already agreed!"
Zhang Jiucheng sighed: "You don't know! Ningxin, upon seeing Lu Chengwen for the first time, took a liking to him! She said although Lu Chengwen seems to have a vulgar worldly air, he also has the righteousness and loyalty of the common folk."
"Although Lu Chengwen is a rich man, he is very caring and compassionate towards ordinary people."
"Although Lu Chengwen is very lecherous, he is very respectful towards girls, and as long as they are his women, he will take care of them meticulously, protect them with all his heart."
"Although Lu Chengwen sometimes looks very bad, at critical moments, this person will always do righteous things!"
"Aiya... Ningxin, after meeting Lu Chengwen once, can't forget him! Just right, you also don't like Lu Chengwen. I'll just go directly find Ningxin, let her be Lu Chengwen's concubine."
Zhang Jiucheng made a move to stand up and leave.
Zhang Shen'er got anxious: "Ai Great Uncle, don't leave yet! This... Sister Ningxin was clearly tricked by Lu Chengwen! She, she is your biological niece, you can't push her into a fiery pit!"
Zhang Jiucheng laughed heartily: "What fiery pit! A highly respected tycoon worth hundreds of billions; a brave and resourceful, unparalleled loyal folk martial artist; marrying him means living in a mansion, riding in luxury cars every day, being the wife of a hundred-billion tycoon when going out... this fiery pit, you find one for me, I'll jump."
"Not talking anymore, Ningxin is still waiting for my reply. I'm leaving first. Jiuchang ah, come home more often when you have time, I'm leaving first."
"Ai! Great Uncle!"
Zhang Shen'er was truly anxious: "I... I... I can, I can go."
"Go where?"
"Just... aren't we talking about marrying Lu Chengwen?"
Zhang Jiucheng said: "Don't you hate Lu Chengwen?"
"Yes... I hate Lu Chengwen... but..."
Zhang Shen'er said: "For the Zhang family, for Sister Ningxin, and also for Great Uncle you, I... I can only wrong myself, endure humiliation for a greater cause. Great Uncle, Lu Chengwen really isn't a good person, don't harm Sister Ningxin!"
Zhang Jiucheng was also thoroughly malicious.
Logically, at this time he could have just gone along with it, but he didn't.
If you don't say it! I won't relent!
"Shen'er, your branch family these years, has suffered a lot for the main family. Now knowing you hate Lu Chengwen, if I push you into a fiery pit again, what kind of family head am I? What face do I have to meet the ancestors, to face your father, my younger brother?"
"This matter is actually very easy to solve! You don't like Lu Chengwen, just right Ningxin likes him! If she likes him, let her go! At that time, whether she lives well with Lu Chengwen or not, whether favored or angered, that's her own choice. Can't blame us either!"
"But you are different. Great Uncle cannot say, you clearly don't like Lu Chengwen, yet still force you to be with him... isn't this creating sin!"
"Ah, just like that, you rest well. I'll call Ningxin now, take her to find Lu Chengwen."
Zhang Shen'er was truly anxious: "Aiya Great Uncle! You... you clearly know! You..."
Zhang Jiuchang also understood.
Young girls, when dating, feeling a bit embarrassed is very normal.
Especially Zhang Shen'er, for so many years her persona was being irreconcilable with Lu Chengwen.
Making her admit she likes Lu Chengwen is ten thousand times harder than for other girls.
But her way of obstructing and blocking here, the adults all understood, also heard.
Zhang Jiuchang said: "Dage, stop teasing the child."
Zhang Jiucheng smiled, sat there drinking tea.
Zhang Jiuchang said: "Shen'er, do you really like Lu Chengwen?"
Zhang Shen'er blushed, lowered her head, nodded once.
Zhang Jiuchang sighed: "This kid. Shen'er, you are a big girl. Logically, your lifelong major event, parents shouldn't interfere. And these years also actively let you go on blind dates, the purpose is to let you marry and establish a career early, become more stable."
"Your mother and I always raised you as an urban woman. But Lu Chengwen is now inextricably linked with the ancient martial world. If you follow him, in the future life might not be peaceful, nor can you pursue your own happiness like an independent urban woman. Will always be bound by the rules of the ancient martial world, ancient-style families."
"You have to think clearly, this kind of life, can you really accept it?"
Zhang Shen'er lowered her head, pouted: "It's not a question of whether I accept it or not, it's..."
Zhang Shen'er suddenly felt aggrieved and shed tears, lips trembling: "Lu Chengwen doesn't like me at all! Wuwuwu... he's annoyed by me... I've already confessed proactively, he just pretends to be stupid, says I was acting for him to escape..."
Zhang Jiuchang felt very sad.
Dage was right.
Looking at Zhang Shen'er like this, she really likes Lu Chengwen, and not just ordinary liking.
Really like Dage said, she has liked him for many years. Maybe, started liking him from the first time she was angered to tears by Lu Chengwen.
Just she herself didn't know.
If Lu Chengwen hadn't contacted her after adulthood, perhaps this liking would have been forever buried in her heart, never unearthed.
Zhang Shen'er would live her whole life naive, until one day in middle age, suddenly awaken, suddenly understand.
Start reminiscing about youth, constantly thinking of this person...
If it were like that, this relationship could ultimately only get a bitter smile.
A sense of time passed, regret and relief in middle age.
But, fate let them meet again in their youth, intersect again.
The entanglement from childhood, slowly bred, changed, spread, magnified in the heart...
Zhang Shen'er's heart thoroughly awakened.
But Lu Chengwen hadn't awakened yet.
Lu Chengwen still felt, Zhang Shen'er to him, was just a childhood playmate, a girl he bullied.
Nothing more.
Of course, this isn't important.
What's important is, Shen'er likes Lu Chengwen too much.
This made Zhang Jiuchang very heartbroken.
Liking an ancient martial artist, for an urban woman, isn't considered lucky.
Especially a guy like Lu Chengwen with countless girlfriends. His own daughter should have exclusively enjoyed an excellent young man. Now going to his family, everywhere has to listen to his arrangements.
Have to follow rules, understand wifely duties, also get along well with other sisters...
His own daughter, why suffer so?
Zhang Jiuchang said: "Shen'er, if you ask my opinion, my opinion is no. People always have someone they like but cannot get. Just forget Lu Chengwen. Heartbreak will be very painful, but compared to your future life, that's nothing. Father believes, without Lu Chengwen, you will still be very happy, very joyful."
Zhang Shen'er's eyes welled with tears: "But... I just... don't want to let go..."
Zhang Jiucheng didn't speak, just watched.
Zhang Jiuchang said: "He has too many girlfriends! If you go, you're just one of them. What if he doesn't like you? What if he likes others more than you?"
Zhang Shen'er started crying: "I know... he didn't like me to begin with, but... I just like him. Like him more and more, more and more... I think about him every day, simply can't forget!"
Zhang Jiuchang sighed: "Go abroad, or transfer to work in the South Kingdom. Farther away, it will fade."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiucheng knew his younger brother really looked down on Lu Chengwen.
So the family's great cause I just mentioned, you didn't take it to heart at all!
But Zhang Jiucheng didn't make a sound.
...
Outside, Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian fought inextricably.
Inside, Lu Chengwen and Luo Shiyin fought with hearty abandon!
Indeed, after dual cultivating with Luo Shiyin several times to the peak, Lu Chengwen absorbed a large amount of pure true qi from Luo Shiyin's body!
Luo Shiyin cultivated seduction arts, but was also a virgin since young, plus only intimately involved with Lu Chengwen, her true qi pure and flawless.
Lu Chengwen, because of the Shangyuan Chongtian Wan, plus Luo Shiyin's top-grade dual cultivation physique, smoothly reached the peak Shangsimen realm!
And Lu Chengwen also gradually grasped the essentials, timely replenishing back.
Luo Shiyin didn't suffer loss of physique, instead also received Lu Chengwen's tyrannical, domineering true qi protection and nourishment.
She truly broke through peak Shangsimen, becoming a Tiansimen master!
Luo Shiyin was soft as a ball of cotton, leaning in Lu Chengwen's arms.
Lu Chengwen held her slender jade hand, looking at her hand.
"Shiyin, your hand is really beautiful?"
Luo Shiyin smiled tiredly: "Langjun, take me! I think about you every day."
Lu Chengwen said: "I also want to, need a chance."
Luo Shiyin said: "I am now also a Tiansimen master. Let's just have a showdown. If Long Aotian wants to go crazy, I'll deal with him."
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "You are not his opponent, he is already at intermediate Tiansimen level. Same level, I estimate besides Zhao Ritian, no one is his opponent."
"But I really can't wait another day."
At this moment Hua Xueying rushed in: "Master, quickly go see! Those two are almost done for!"
Lu Chengwen was startled, quickly pulled on his pants.
Luo Shiyin also got dressed: "These two, really uncomfortable if they don't cause trouble for a day..."
Lu Chengwen, while dressing: "Stop talking, go out and see. Ai, where's my shirt?"
"Here..."
"How did it become like this?"
"Later you complained my moans were too loud, didn't you use it to gag my mouth!"
"Oh oh, wasted, this shirt is quite expensive."
Hua Xueying rolled her eyes: "Hurry up, Tian'er is almost done for."
Lu Chengwen rushed out: "Aiya, you two fought for so long?"
Both were covered in wounds, a miserable sight.
Zhao Ritian said with difficulty: "My brain is fine, Shifu told me! He insists I'm an idiot."
Lu Chengwen went over to help up Long Aotian: "Dage, are you okay?"
Long Aotian said grief-stricken and indignant: "People clearly don't have shit now, he insists on spraying some out!"
