Hong Lan had a rough idea of why Xia Zhenfeng had invited her over.
It was nothing more than:
My daughter is already taken!
Tell your silly son to stop pining after her!
You guys are out of the game!
Blah blah blah, and so on.
What else could it be?
The two families didn't have any deep-seated hatred or grudges.
Even if they couldn't become in-laws, they surely wouldn't become enemies, right?
The more a situation like this arose, the more magnanimous she needed to appear.
It was also to win a good impression for her own son.
When young people date, who doesn't have times when they argue and break up?
Younger partners are more prone to causing problems.
Once Weiwei suffered a heartbreak, Lei Siren could completely seize the opportunity to win her favor again.
On this point, Hong Lan and her son's thoughts coincided perfectly.
Both of them believed that the battle had just begun.
Little did they know.
The moment she stepped through the door, the battle was already over.
It was just that, trapped in the dark, she was still completely unaware.
Snap!
Xia Zhenfeng snapped his fingers.
Wang Ran understood implicitly, turning around and leaving the scene.
Such an action left Hong Lan completely stunned.
What did this mean?
Was there some other program arranged?
Hong Lan and Lei Siren were baffled.
The members of the Xia family, however, were quite excited.
They all knew very well how lively the upcoming scene was going to be.
Xia Zhenfeng continued to keep them in suspense, pressing his hands down and saying:
It's nothing, I'm just having Xiao Ran fetch something.
No need to rush, let's sit down and chat slowly.
Weiwei, why haven't you poured water for your Aunt Lan?
Now that the child has grown up, she is really just like before, completely lacking in manners.
On the surface, Xia Zhenfeng was scolding Xia Yiwei.
But as he said these words, his eyes were fixed entirely on Lei Siren.
The stare made Lei Siren feel exceptionally panicked inside.
Why had he been targeted all day today?
Even if they knew he had hired people to beat up Lin Yu but failed.
It shouldn't warrant dragging his old mother over just to scold him to his face, right?
Was this matter really that serious?
Okay, okay, my mistake. I'll go pour the water right now.
Xia Yiwei stood up with rare obedience, picking up the teapot and speaking cheerfully.
The scene truly looked more and more amiss.
Hong Lan was no fool.
She was much shrewder than her son.
Xia Zhenfeng's pointed hints were enough to explain the problem.
Perhaps...
Her son had done something wrong and provoked Xia Zhenfeng?
...
Before long.
Wang Ran returned to the table.
Holding a tablet in hand, she placed it in front of Xia Zhenfeng.
Xia Zhenfeng tapped on the screen a few times, remaining silent for quite a while.
At this moment.
Even a fool could tell from Xia Zhenfeng's expression that he was about to do something.
Hong Lan could no longer sit still and took the initiative to ask:
Brother Zhenfeng, what exactly is the matter you called me here for today?
We've known each other for so many years, is there something you can't just say straight out?
Recently, since Lei Siren returned to Pingchuan, he has been interacting more with Weiwei.
Did he do something wrong to make you unhappy?
Don't you know me?
I am definitely not someone who blindly protects her own!
If Lei Siren really did something wrong, I will absolutely teach him a good lesson!
Hong Lan's tone was very firm, not considering at all what would happen next.
If a conflict arose among a few young people...
How big could the conflict really be?
Compared to waiting for someone else to discipline her son, taking the initiative herself was naturally the better choice.
However.
This time, the matter was much bigger than she imagined...
Hearing this, the dark clouds on Xia Zhenfeng's face did not dissipate in the slightest.
He said in a tough tone:
Xiao Lan, I hope you remember what you just said.
I have no objections to letting you punish this brat.
But if the punishment isn't severe enough...
I will have to do it myself!
Xia Zhenfeng's gaze swept over Lei Siren.
Lei Siren instantly felt a chill down his spine and his legs went weak.
How could he have the nerve to keep sitting? He quickly stood up from his seat, trembling with fear.
Stumbling over his words, he asked:
U-Uncle Xia, please don't be angry yet.
I'll apologize to you first. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I-I...
I don't know what I did wrong, but I must have done something wrong.
Please calm down, it's all my fault!
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
