After this great victory against Gu Huo, Lin Xiaodong became famous overnight in Qianshui City, and everyone had heard about him to some extent.
Especially his battle with Gu Huo was even more legendary among people.
Gu Huo, on the other hand, couldn't bear the insult and left Qianshui City in despair that night.
The next day, when Lin Xiaodong returned to Lian's house, he saw that the place was quite lively, as if some big happy event had been held.
After all, everyone knew that Lin Xiaodong had a good relationship with the Lian family, so many people came here to watch the fun and see who could defeat the legendary genius Gu Huo.
"Hey, this Lin Xiaodong doesn't look much older than Gu Huo!"
"Yes, it seems that there is someone out there. I'm afraid there are many people who are better than Gu Huo. That kid is too conceited."
"Who says it's not..." Lian Wanli quickly raised his head when he heard Lin Xiaodong's name.
When he saw Lin Xiaodong, he came up to him and said, "You're back. I heard that you had a great fight with Gu Huo!"
"No, no, senior is ridiculous, I just won by luck."
"Oh, don't be humble, come on, come on, we have a celebration banquet for you, and we are just waiting for you to come back!"
"ah?
Celebration party?
It's not necessary..." "What are you talking about? It's necessary!"
Lian Wanli enthusiastically pulled him towards home. Suddenly he remembered something and whispered: "By the way, I have to tell you something in advance. Qin Shaoyuan is here to see you. He is waiting inside!"
"oh?"
"I don't know why he came, but I let him in anyway. If you don't want to see him, I'll go and ask him away now."
Lin Xiaodong thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, I just have something to talk to him about."
Qin Shaoyuan was waiting in the living room. When he saw Lin Xiaodong, he hurriedly came up to him and said, "Lin Xiaodong, I ran over as soon as I heard that you defeated Gu Huo, and I was waiting to congratulate you!"
As he spoke, he took out many valuable gifts from behind and forced them into Lin Xiaodong's hands.
"You have really helped our Qin family a lot this time. I brought you some gifts. It's not a sign of respect. I hope you can accept them."
He said so, and Lin Xiaodong was not polite and accepted it directly.
In fact, other big families who had no conflict with Lin Xiaodong also sent gifts, but even Wan Li was worried that Lin Xiaodong would not accept them, so they all returned them.
"You don't need to thank me, it's just a small effort. From now on, things will be settled between us."
Qin Shaoyuan rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, yes, we will be friends from now on.
By the way, if anything happens to you in the future, just go to the Qin family and come to me, I will definitely help you!"
"Okay...but you didn't come here today just to tell me this, right?"
"Hahahaha, you are so smart. I am here today and I have some important news to tell you."
Lin Xiaodong was intrigued: "What's the big news?"
"Last night, when you defeated Gu Huo, the Yang family sent people to spread the news to all the major families, saying that the city lord had left seclusion!"
"The city lord has left seclusion?"
"Yeah, think about it, it's actually about time.
Moreover, this time the city lord came out of seclusion, he also successfully achieved a breakthrough in his realm, so the city lord’s mansion will hold a big banquet tomorrow and invite the heads of the major families to attend.”
"Then can I go?"
Whether he could see the city lord or not was Lin Xiaodong's biggest concern.
"This..." Qin Shaoyuan looked a little embarrassed. The city lord made it clear that he only invited Qin Shaoyuan and his daughter, so logically speaking, he could not bring anyone else there.
"Okay, I'll figure it out myself."
Seeing Qin Shaoyuan's appearance, Lin Xiaodong knew that the other party would not take him there, so he did not embarrass him.
Qin Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to try your luck. I think they won't make things difficult for you."
After telling the news, he left in a hurry.
After all, attending the city lord's exit banquet this time is not just about drinking and eating meat. There is also a more important thing, which is to determine Qin Qingyun's lifelong event! The Qin family themselves must prepare well for this matter.
Even though Qin Qingyun had a hundred reluctances in her heart, it had already been determined that she could not resist the power of the Qin family and the Yang family.
Therefore, she could only attend the banquet the next day unwillingly.
In order to welcome the city lord's departure, the city lord's palace is now decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. He has invited the best chefs in Qianshui City to hold a big banquet.
Yang He was already waiting at the door and invited Qin Qingyun in, looking like he was deeply in love with each other.
Only Qin Qingyun knew that he was obviously just pretending.
At the banquet, several heads of the major families exchanged cups and cups. Looking at Qin Qingyun and Yang He sitting together, they all understood what the main purpose of today's banquet was.
Everyone complimented the city lord, Yang Jianfeng, and then wisely directed the conversation to the two of them.
"Brother Jianfeng, it seems that your son and Qin Qingyun have a pretty good relationship!"
"Yeah, it seems like their marriage should happen sooner or later, right?"
"I see that the two of them are in love with each other. If Brother Jianfeng doesn't agree to their marriage, it might be a bit unreasonable, right?"
"Hehehe..." Qin Shaoyuan giggled, feeling very satisfied with the marriage. As long as Qin Qingyun married into the Yang family, the Qin family would become relatives with the Yang family, which would be of great benefit to the future development of the Qin family.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't know the attitude of his daughter Yang He, but in his opinion, being able to marry Yang He is already a good thing that many people don't even dare to think about in their lives. Why are you so picky?
Even if Yang He is a playboy and no matter how many mistresses he finds after marriage, Qin Qingyun will still be the principal wife and no one can threaten her status.
Moreover, a lifetime of glory and wealth has fallen into her hands! Only Qin Qingyun had a sad look on her face. She was quite disgusted with Yang He, but no one at the scene cared what she thought.
Qin Qingyun felt powerless in her heart. She was just a woman and could not fight against them.
What happens even if you refuse verbally?
These people will only think that she is ignorant.
Yang Jianfeng laughed and said, "Yes! Yang He has been single for such a long time, and finally has someone who can build a family. Moreover, she is a girl like Qingyun who is stable and manages the family. It is really a great blessing for our Yang family!"
Qin Qingyun cursed in his heart, of course she was a good woman, but Yang He was a complete bastard.
She married Yang He, and the Yang family naturally made money, but she, Qin Qingyun, suffered miserably.
There will never be a day of peace in the future. People like Yang He might get tired of her at some point!
