Lunch Gathering.
“Hahaha! Father-in-law! Old man, I rarely get to come by! You must join me in drinking to our hearts' content!”
“Su Ba, you…”
Before the words could finish, Su Ba wrapped an arm around Ning Yuan's neck, ignoring the latter’s red, suffocating face, and continued pouring drinks into his mouth, one after another.
“Gulp gulp…!”
“Dad!!”
“Grandpa Su! My dad is foaming at the mouth! Please let go!”
“Hahaha! This old fellow is pretending to be asleep again!”
“No! He really can’t take it anymore!”
At another table.
Ning Qingyuan elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth. She glanced at the commotion on the other side and snorted coldly, “Filthy men are still so noisy.”
Although… it seemed her side wasn’t much better.
Ning Qingyuan looked at Ning Qingxuan, who was feeding shrimp to Su Lingtian.
“Here, Lingtian, I know you love this the most.”
“Mm.”
“Shh, let me quietly tell you, this was made by my sister.”
“Okay.”
Due to the issue with Su Lingtian’s cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Extreme Cold Art, he was unable to express his emotions fully.
Ning Qingxuan gazed at Su Lingtian with satisfaction. Wasn’t it his looks and demeanor that she fell for in the first place?
Originally, she thought he was just cold and aloof, but it turned out he had no choice.
As she thought this, she seemed to feel a burning gaze.
Ning Qingxuan turned her head and saw Ning Qingyuan’s gloomy expression.
She chuckled, "What's wrong, Qingyuan little sister? I was just praising how delicious the shrimp you made is. Are you not happy about that?"
Ning Qingyuan snorted coldly, “No manners.”
Her elder sister, as the eldest daughter of the Ning Family, getting her hands greasy peeling shrimp for someone.
What kind of behavior is that?
Ning Qingxuan poked her sister’s shoulder and laughed, “No manners? Little sister, are you upset because no one’s peeling shrimp for you?”
Ouch!
As soon as these words came out, Ning Qingyuan’s eye twitched.
You did it again, didn’t you?! You brought it up again, didn’t you?!
Yes!
There were five daughters in the Ning Family.
Ning Qingxuan was the eldest, and she was the second.
And besides her… everyone else was married.
And their children were even about to get married!
Because of this, the family had been nagging her countless times.
But!!
But!!
Ning Qingyuan looked at Su Lingtian beside Ning Qingxuan.
On the surface, she remained calm, but inside, she was on the verge of tears.
The person I like has already married my sister, aaaaaahhhh!!!
No! Calm down!
Ning Qingxuan is like this—the more you get flustered, the happier she is.
Let’s see what my niece is doing.
Thinking this, she looked at Su Muwan beside her.
Su Muwan sat naturally and elegantly, sitting quietly in a well-behaved manner.
In stark contrast to Ning Qingxuan.
An unreliable mother, a reliable daughter.
Ning Qingyuan’s eyes showed satisfaction. Hmm, not bad. This is the conduct befitting the future heir of the Su Family.
So…
Hmm?
Just as she thought this, Ning Qingyuan frowned.
She saw Qin Luo wearing disposable gloves, peeling large shrimp one by one for Su Muwan.
He placed them on Su Muwan’s plate and smiled, “Young Lady, shrimp.”
And Su Muwan, who had been sitting upright, immediately curved her lips.
She turned her head slightly, pointed to her mouth, and said, “Ah~ Qin Luo, feed me~”
“Young Lady, everyone’s watching.”
“Hmph! So what!”
“Alright, Young Lady.”
Qin Luo shook his head with a smile, then pinched the shrimp tail and fed it to her.
“Mmm!”
She sparkled with joy, “Delicious!”
“Qin Luo, I want more!”
“Yes, Young Lady.”
“Here, Young Lady, crab legs.”
“Delicious!”
“Here, have some soup.”
“Tasty!”
“Here, wipe your mouth.”
“Hehe.”
Ning Qingyuan: ?
Her eye twitched, and she couldn’t help but cover her face.
What? So you were waiting to be fed?!
What on earth did I just see?
The future heir of the Su Family… Su Muwan…
How did she end up looking like such a pampered brat?
Ah?
Unsure… let’s take another look…
Right, there’s also the adopted daughter, Su Bailian.
Ning Qingyuan thought, then looked over to another table.
She saw the younger generation of the Ning Family gathered around Su Bailian.
One of them, after being glanced at by Su Bailian, immediately blushed and stammered, "B-Bailian sister, long time no see..."
“You’ve become even prettier.”
Su Bailian, upon hearing this, looked pleasantly surprised. She clasped her hands together and looked at him shyly, “Ah… Brother Xiuyuan, what are you saying… I’m not even wearing makeup.”
No, no! Sister Bailian, you look beautiful even without makeup!
“Agreed!”
“Same here!”
The Ning Family youngsters cheered and jumped around like a bunch of baboons.
Bailian sister is just too adorable!
“Woof woof!”
A dog named Pochi was running around on the ground, trying to get to Qin Luo.
Unfortunately, the leash around its neck prevented it from moving freely.
Su Bailian smiled as she watched the men falling at her feet.
She was quite satisfied.
See?
This is how things should be!
Qin Luo and Su Muwan are just an exception!
Ning Qingyuan: ?
She fell silent, then slowly turned her head and looked away.
Thwap!
She covered her face, her pupils shaking.
What?
Is there something wrong with the Su Family’s family values?!
Ning Qingyuan felt like she was out of touch with the times.
What on earth did I just witness?
And what’s wrong with the younger generation of the Ning Family?!
Didn’t we teach you any manners?!
Are you even part of the family anymore?!
Thinking this, she took a deep breath and looked at another green-clad figure.
The person was quiet and serene, in stark contrast to the Su Family members around her.
Ning Muqing, the talented youngster of the Ning Family.
Ning Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction. At least we have the Ning Family.
At Ning Muqing’s table.
She ate her food slowly, but her eyes kept wandering to Su Muwan, who was being fed.
There was a hint of inexplicable confusion in her gaze.
Su sister... seems different from before.
Why is that?
Her gaze shifted from Su Muwan to Qin Luo.
He was good-looking and had a gentle demeanor.
He seemed like a nice guy.
Could it be that this man changed Sister Su?
Does Sister Su like him?
Thinking this, Ning Muqing lightly pursed her lips, her fists clenching tightly.
Su sister… is still so beautiful.
…
…
After the meal.
“Muqing, take Su sister and the others to tour the Ning Family estate.”
Ning Qingyuan rubbed Ning Muqing’s head. She was quite satisfied with this little genius of the Ning Family.
Most importantly…
She looked at Ning Muqing’s refreshing and elegant appearance.
Perfect!
Such a descendant is the future of our Ning Family!
“Okay.”
Ning Muqing replied softly.
But in fact, her little eyes were constantly looking at Su Muwan.
Her heart surged with joy.
To be able to take Sister Su and the others to tour the Ning Family estate... how wonderful...
Qin Luo’s gaze revealed a hint of something unspoken.
I wonder if I’ll run into that reincarnated person…
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
