"Haha, I sincerely wish you the best. What's the saying again? Good things are strewn with setbacks," Grandmaster Chen said with a smile.
Hearing him say that, Guan Ruolan was a little flustered, and her body trembled slightly. It was originally a compliment, but in this situation, it brought back painful memories. She couldn't help but look at me. Did Grandmaster Chen find out something, or did I just let it slip?!
Grandmaster Chen didn't notice Guan Ruolan's abnormality, and continued, "Your grandfather has been complaining to me for a long time. He said that you haven't found a partner, and he was worried about you. He even asked me to keep an eye out for suitable young talents. Now, it seems that the beautiful flower already has a partner."
In fact, Grandmaster Chen didn't notice what happened that night. Two days ago, Elder Guan contacted him and asked about the situation between me and Guan Ruolan.
When I had a conflict with Guan Ruolan in the Haidilao shop, Elder Guan felt that something was wrong. Old people liked to overthink things. After hesitating for a while, he asked Grandmaster Chen about it.
Coincidentally, Grandmaster Chen and Elder Guan had the same idea. He also attributed the reason to my female confidante. As the saying goes, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers. Now, the five women were playing together, but Guan Ruolan was alone. Moreover, she was playing the role of a mistress. Even Elder Guan was puzzled by this point.
Even if he was a dragon among men, it was impossible for him to make Guan Ruolan lose her integrity. There were many young talents pursuing her in Jing City.
Originally, he had wanted to persuade Guan Ruolan that there was no need for her to condescend to such an extent. If this matter were to spread, where would he hide his old face? However, he had prepared a lot of great principles, but now it was useless!
After Elder Guan knew the result of the competition, he was ecstatic. He even forgot his complaints and called Guan Ruolan immediately.
"Hello, Xiao Lan, are you okay?" Elder Guan's voice was full of concern.
"Grandpa, I'm fine."
Guan Ruolan giggled as she replied. Her flower-like smile dazzled me. I unconsciously moved closer to her and caressed her hair. That refreshing fragrance was extremely pleasant.
"Really?
Why did I hear that you cried your heart out in Gyeongbu Hall because of that kid? You almost stopped breathing! "Elder Guan was slightly depressed.
"Aiya, it's not that exaggerated," Guan Ruolan blushed, and purposely lowered the volume of her phone, afraid that I would hear it.
However, this method was undoubtedly burying one's head in the sand. I also knew that in front of the elders, she wanted to preserve her dignity. She even did her best to pretend that she didn't care about me to prevent Elder Guan's imagination from running wild. The unexpected meeting between us brought a heavy burden to Elder Guan's mind.
At this moment, Elder Guan's teasing also seemed to be blaming Guan Ruolan. It was such a big matter, yet she didn't give him a heads-up. "Alright, it's good that you are fine.
"Alright, as long as you are fine. I'm going to hang up now. Oh right, bring that guy home when you have the chance. He stole my granddaughter's heart without a word. If he doesn't discuss academic problems with me for a day and a night, I won't forgive him. Last time, when the young master of the Peng family was here, I didn't give him a hard time." Master Guan said angrily.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, after thinking about it, Guan Ruolan also felt that she was too impulsive. She should have talked to me properly, but she couldn't control her emotions and made a joke of herself in front of the customers. I have to say, that was the most reckless thing she had done in her life.
However, Guan Ruolan didn't regret it. Just like what Grandmaster Chen had said, the road to happiness was strewn with setbacks. It wasn't easy for us to get to where we were today.
I didn't even hope that Guan Ruolan would forgive me. Luckily, her sudden appearance, coupled with Zhou Zi 'ang's fierce beating, made me unwaveringly shout that she was my woman.
Every time he emphasized it, Guan Ruolan's heart would be hammered. His proclamations were like the best healing medicine that could heal her heart that was riddled with holes.
"Hehe, good Lan Lan, it seems that our grandpa is quite satisfied with me," I said shamelessly.
The dream that was once out of my reach had now become a beautiful woman in my arms. Although it wasn't perfect, life was like this. There were always some things that didn't go your way.
"Bah, he's not your grandfather. You can't call him that. Moreover, I'm at most your lover. You can call me sweetheart, but don't call me little wife or something like that. I can't afford it," Guan Ruolan rolled her eyes and emphasized in a serious manner.
I didn't know why, but after hearing her words, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. It was as if I was stabbed with a knife. The original Guan Ruolan was a female hero at the peak of Dark Jing. Because of me, she had become an ordinary person. Now, when she said those humble and stubborn words, it was full of sadness.
Actually, it was just like I said. Rather than being harassed by a group of people, it was better to be harassed by one person. Now that she didn't have her cultivation base, she felt uncomfortable wherever she went. She was also worried that those playboys would mess with her. That was why Guan Ruolan didn't go out as much as possible to avoid accidents.
It was a psychological difference. Moreover, from Guan Ruolan's tone, it seemed that she didn't want to go back to Yun City with me. If she did, she would have to face Liu Jie and the others.
Sigh, forget it. Some things should be let nature take its course. I was satisfied that I could reach this step. As for the rest, I could only think about it later. I made up my mind that I would try my best to help Guan Ruolan recover her cultivation base. It was also a way to make up for what she had done.
In theory, the Blood Demon had only drained her Qi-Jin and cast some evil spell on her. It didn't mean that her meridians were broken. It was slightly better than being possessed by the devil.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you." I nodded.
Then, I asked for Grandmaster Chen's card number and went to find Young Master Zhang.
"Young Master Zhang, I'm here to redeem my prize. Is there a problem?" I smiled.
He squeezed a smile and waved his hand. "Of course, there's no problem. Brother, take a seat. I'll ask my secretary to take care of it for you."
Soon, due to the large amount of money, I had to transfer ten million renminbi to my account one by one. Moreover, I had to use several accounts. I activated the SMS function. Looking at the money flowing into my account, I felt so happy.
Although Guan Ruolan didn't care much about money, she was a little surprised. Young Master Zhang seemed to be very proactive. If I continued to surpass all the difficulties and become the champion, I would have to lose a commercial building. Now, I could use eight hundred million renminbi to make up for the loss. It was a blessing in disguise.
Around ten minutes later, I had two billion renminbi in my card. As for the money for the venue, I asked my secretary to transfer it to Grandmaster Chen's account.
When he saw the notifications, he was also excited. Not only did he get the money, but it also felt like he was robbing the rich to help the poor.
