Tianhu Cave Villa No. 1 was the residence of the Gu Yan family.
The living room on the first floor.
“What? You said that Yan Qingqing from the Yan family brought two people over to visit Gu Yan?”
The two self-proclaimed individuals are from the Leng Family?
Su Murong frowned as she looked at the subordinate reporting in front of her.
A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.
The Leng Family..... two people?
Could it be.... Leng Qingqiu?!
Thinking of this, Su Murong's expression became oddly complicated.
Hehe, just in time. If the person here is indeed the Leng Qingqiu that Gu Yan mentioned, then I can just test the future daughter-in-law.
If she is a spoiled and unreasonable person, then don't blame this mother for intervening!
Yes, Su Murong had already been burned once by Shen Wan'er and didn't want her son to fall into that trap again!
Gu Tianming next to her seemed to sense Su Murong's intentions and hesitated to say, "Murong, you're not going to make things difficult for our future daughter-in-law, are you?"
"Hmph! And what if I do? I just want Gu Yan to live a normal life. How can a normal life involve marrying a blind person!"
"But... what if you're very satisfied with the daughter-in-law when you meet her?"
"Hehe, Gu Tianming, after so many years of marriage, don't you know me? Even if I let Gu Yan remain single for life, I would never let him marry a spoiled and unreasonable blind person!"
"Don't you remember Shen Wan'er?"
"Uh.... you haven't even met her yet, so how do you already assume she has that kind of personality....."
"Gu Tianming! Shut up! Just watch my move!"
"......"
......
......
A few minutes later.
Leng Qingqiu was gently supported by Leng Ling'er as they stepped into the Gu family's mansion.
"Wow, sister! Gu Yan's house is so big!"
Leng Ling'er whispered to Leng Qingqiu.
"Hmm, be mindful of etiquette."
Leng Qingqiu, although here to visit Gu Yan, couldn't help but feel a strange sensation when thinking about meeting his parents.
It was as if she was actually here to meet her in-laws.
But soon, this strange feeling disappeared.
After becoming the Night King, Leng Qingqiu had already mastered the art of staying calm in any situation.
Of course, Gu Yan was an exception.
Leng Qingqiu also understood that, outwardly being a blind person, the mother of Gu Yan, a top family in Jianghai, would likely have some reservations about her.
But that was okay; she was only here to visit Gu Yan and wouldn't care about other people's opinions.
Even if Gu Yan were to leave her in the future, following his mother or elder's instructions.........
Ugh... best not to think about it.
As they entered the Gu household, the two passed through neatly trimmed hedges and arrived at the living room.
In the living room.
Su Murong sat on the sofa, her demeanor exuding a gentle yet imposing aura, making the usually lively Leng Ling'er instinctively hold her breath.
She tightened her grip on Leng Qingqiu's hand.
Ah! What a commanding woman! Is this Gu Yan's mother?
Sister..... I'm so scared..... so nervous......
What if there's some dramatic scene from TV where she throws millions at you to leave her son??
After a short while.
"Hello, Mrs. Su. My sister and I have come to visit Gu Yan."
Leng Qingqiu's voice was fresh and elegant, bringing a sense of joy and comfort to those who heard it.
At least someone upstairs had their 'Qingqiu radar' going off.
Heh, finally here? Her voice is quite pleasant. Let me see what kind of charm she has to attract my Gu Yan so much.
Of course, I will be very strict in examining her! To avoid another Shen Wan'er!
Su Murong opened her eyes and looked at Leng Qingqiu and Leng Ling'er. Her face conveyed a mix of warmth and scrutiny as she stood up and walked towards the two young girls.
Her gaze first landed on Leng Qingqiu's face. The girl’s eyes were closed, yet she exuded an aura of purity, like a sturdy and elegant emerald bamboo.
Leng Qingqiu's appearance was a perfect masterpiece even with her eyes closed. Every detail, from her evenly spaced lashes to her gentle lip line, showcased natural exquisiteness and unique charm.
Leng Qingqiu was like a pure, pristine snow lotus growing on a snowy mountain, untouched by any worldly dust. Even in the midst of chaos and vanity, she maintained her purity.
Su Murong was momentarily stunned, then her body began to tremble.
Good.... good... good....
"What a beautiful daughter-in-law!!"
Su Murong paused in shock, then excitedly blurted out incoherently.
She immediately stepped forward, taking Leng Qingqiu's small hand and asked considerately, "You’re Leng Qingqiu, right? My son has often mentioned you to me."
"Oh, if you were coming, you should've told us earlier! I would’ve had his father come to pick you up!"
"It’s so cold today. Look, your hands are frozen! Have you eaten? Stay at our house tonight!"
"And why are you being so formal? Shouldn’t you be calling me 'Mom' by now?"
"Oh, and let’s ask Gu Yan later about setting a date! Don’t worry about the betrothal gifts; our standards are top-tier nationwide........"
Leng Qingqiu was momentarily stunned by Gu Yan's mother’s barrage of considerate questions.
Initially, she had expected some confrontation.
But she never anticipated such a warm reception.
Leng Ling'er was also a bit stunned. Hmm? Gu Yan's mom is surprisingly easy to talk to?
Leng Qingqiu, though internally caught off guard by the unexpected warmth, managed to maintain a natural smile and said, "Yes, thank you, Mom. We’re all very worried about Gu Yan’s injury."
At this moment, Gu Tianming, who had been hiding in the shadows to prevent any accidents, walked out and reminded Su Murong, "Ahem! Murong, don’t just keep them standing there. They've come to visit our son!"
At the same time, he internally sighed, "Wife, I’m not unfamiliar with you; I know you too well! I just knew you’d do something like this and get charmed by Leng Qingqiu! This girl, I’ve seen her before—she’s a talented and accomplished young lady, worthy of the title 'genius'.
To think Gu Yan actually managed to catch the Leng family’s daughter! He’s really hit the jackpot."
Hearing the reminder, Su Murong quickly adjusted her attitude.
Her voice softened but remained dignified as she let go of Leng Qingqiu's hand, chuckling, "Ah, I’m sorry. I got carried away."
She then looked at Leng Ling'er and Yan Qingqing—
"You’ve all come to see Gu Yan, haven’t you? Gu Yan’s just suffered a minor injury, so try not to be too surprised when you see him."
Su Murong said this while looking at Leng Qingqiu, extending her hand to support her, "Qingqiu... come with me for a moment."
"Okay."
Leng Qingqiu suddenly found Gu Yan’s mother quite easy to get along with. At least there was no need to worry about the melodramatic scenarios that Ling'er always saw in TV dramas.
"Then sister, we’ll go visit brother-in-law first!"
Leng Ling'er didn’t know why butbehaved very politely in front of Gu Yan's mother.
Perhaps she subconsciously didn’t want to appear rude and damage her sister’s impression?
Thinking of this, Leng Ling'er internally praised herself.
Ling'er, you’ve truly grown up! You’re starting to think about your family! Don’t you deserve a chicken leg from brother-in-law now?
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
