On the parking lot outside the Xiao family manor, there were already a lot of luxury cars, and it was a bustling place. Countless guests came in, and it seemed that most of them were direct descendants of the Xiao family and relatives from all walks of life.
"No less than a thousand people came to celebrate a birthday. Aunt Xiao's father is indeed of the highest status in this Yun Province!"
Ye Chen nodded secretly, becoming more curious about this old man who once served as a general in the Yunnan Army.
Xiao Lin and Ye Chen were walking forward, and two beautiful figures came towards them.
The person on the left is wearing an ancient white robe and jade beads in his hand. His face is extremely beautiful and clear. He exudes an unearthly coldness, like an iceberg and snow lotus. He is holy and proud, and has an air that can be seen from a distance.
A playful temperament.
The other person is wearing a red floor-length dress, with eyes like autumn waves, bright eyes and white teeth, exquisite and flawless facial features, wearing crystal buckle high-heeled shoes, tall and slender figure, walking gracefully step by step.
Wherever the two passed by, they instantly became the focus of the entire audience. Everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, cast their eyes towards them, expressing admiration and jealousy.
Seeing the two of them, Xiao Lin and Liang Rong hurried forward with respect and reverence on their brows.
"Sister Mu Rou, Miss Yueying!"
The cold woman in white robe nodded slightly to the two of them without much expression, but the woman in red smiled slightly at the two, and then looked at Gu Mengyao behind her.
She stretched out her beautiful hands and her beautiful eyes were crystal clear.
"It seems that this is Mengyao's cousin?"
"I often see you in entertainment news, but this is the first time we have met. My name is Su Murou. We will keep in touch in the future!"
When Gu Mengyao heard this, her expression changed slightly and she quickly reached out to hold each other.
"It turns out to be cousin Mu Rou, I've heard of your name a long time ago!"
Su Murou had a faint smile on her face and looked at Ye Chen behind her.
"Who is this?"
Xiao Lin, who was next to him, quickly replied: "Sister Mu Rou, this is Ye Chen, my sister-in-law's adopted son. Are you coming with Mengyao to celebrate my grandpa's birthday this time?"
Ye Chen also smiled and nodded at Su Murou at this moment.
"Oh?" Su Murou glanced at Ye Chen with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.
After a moment, there was a hint of disappointment deep in her eyes, she just nodded lightly to Ye Chen, and then looked at Xiao Lin.
"Xiao Lin, you first arrange a place for Mengyao and Mr. Ye Chen. After everything is settled, take Mengyao to meet her grandparents. They haven't met Mengyao yet!"
Although her tone was calm, there was no doubt about it. Xiao Lin was not displeased at all and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Mengyao, you go to the place where you live with your cousin Xiao Lin first, and then go to meet your grandparents. They are eager to see you. I will go to the front hall to greet the guests now. When there is time, we two sisters will meet again.
Let’s have a nice chat!”
Su Murou smiled at Gu Mengyao, and then left with the white-robed woman. From the beginning to the end, she was like air to Ye Chen and didn't care at all.
"Is she Su Murou?"
Ye Chen didn't care about this, he was just slightly curious.
When he arrived, Hanfeng had already given him a detailed list of important figures in the Xiao family, and one of them was Su Murou.
She is known as the business queen among the new generation of the Xiao family. At only 21 years old, she controls half of the Xiao family's industry. She is highly regarded by Mr. Xiao and is the well-deserved apple of the Xiao family. Her fame spreads throughout Yunnan Province, even to Guizhou and Sichuan.
According to legend, the people chasing her could line up from the east bank to the west bank of the Li River!
When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero among women.
But what really concerned him was not Su Murou, but the white-robed woman who had just walked with Su Murou.
This woman's whole body exudes an extremely cold wave, like ten thousand years of black ice. Every valve in her body has been opened, and her cultivation level has reached half a step to the supreme level. Compared with Li Qingyu and Ye Xing he has seen before,
Hua Nongying didn't give in at all.
"Moonshadow?"
He thought carefully and found that among the nine top geniuses in China, there was a martial arts genius whose name matched this.
One of the four beauties, Laoshan, Tan Yueying!
"Tan Yueying? I didn't expect that the general Xiao family would still have contact with the Laoshan sect!"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and looked away. He was only slightly interested.
Whether it is Tan Yueying, Ye Xing, Li Qingyu and others, although they are said to be the top geniuses in the Chinese martial arts world, compared with him, they are no longer on the same level.
In the front hall of the Xiao family, Su Murou and Tan Yueying were walking side by side. Su Murou looked at the close friend next to her whom she had known for several years, and asked softly: "Yueying, what do you think is the relationship between Ye Chen and Mengyao?"
Tan Yueying's eyes were cold and she said calmly: "It's easy to see that your celebrity cousin has a lot of affection for the boy named Ye Chen. This is not a relationship between brother and sister, but a bond between a man and a woman!"
Tan Yueying has been practicing martial arts in Laoshan Mountain since she was eight years old. She has hardly traveled in the world, but the "Ice Spring Water" technique she has practiced can give her a certain degree of perception.
, know the inner thoughts of the people next to you.
She had already seen through Gu Mengyao's feelings for Ye Chen at a glance.
"You think the same as I do!"
Su Murou's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked again: "What do you think of this Ye Chen?"
Tan Yueying answered briefly in four words almost without thinking.
“Nothing special!”
After a pause, she continued: "My 'Ice Spring Water' is the same as the Yuyue Lake Sect's 'Sword Heart Transparency', both of which can sense the true inner nature of others!"
"Like you, every time I see you, I can detect the overwhelming desire for power in your heart, but for Ye Chen, I can't feel anything. He is like a blank piece of paper, without any desire or desire.
Please, such a person is either an expert or a mediocre person!"
"With his age and demeanor, he is undoubtedly mediocre!"
When Su Murou heard this, she nodded heavily, a look of concentration flashed in her eyes.
"My Mengyao cousin, my aunt left the Xiao family when she was pregnant with her. She didn't think much about identifying people and objects. She may have developed feelings for men and women because she once lived with that man named Ye Chen, but you
You also know that my grandfather has a character that advocates the strong!"
"Meng Yao has already been betrothed to Luo Situ of the Luo family by grandpa. Luo Situ is young and promising. He is recognized as the 'little stock god' in the upper circles of Yun Province and is highly praised by grandpa!"
"If grandpa were to know that Mengyao has feelings for Ye Chen, grandpa would definitely object to it. I'm worried that when his stubborn temper subsides, he will suppress Ye Chen mercilessly without any regard for feelings!"
"Although Ye Chen is not related by blood to our Xiao family, he is still my aunt's adopted son. Even though I was only two years old when my aunt left the Xiao family, I will never forget how kind my aunt was to me. I don't want her."
The adopted son made such an embarrassing scene when he came to the Xiao family for the first time!"
Su Murou is worthy of being the first person of the third generation of the Xiao family. She has a broad vision and seems to be unstoppable, but she has already coordinated everything and taken care of all directions.
Tan Yueying had no expression on her face and just shook her head lightly.
"Coming to Xiao's house is his own choice. No matter what happens next, he needs to bear it by himself!"
"This is a cruel world, there is no mercy, only strength and weakness!"
"Besides, even if Mr. Xiao is polite to him for your sake, do you think Luo Situ will tolerate him?"
Su Murou composed herself and finally sighed.
This Luo Situ has been in love with Gu Mengyao for a long time. Ever since he found out that she is the granddaughter of Mr. Xiao, he is even more determined to win. If the elders in the family come to propose marriage, how can he allow the woman he has chosen to have feelings for other men?
entanglement?
"I'd better go find Grandpa first and talk to him about this matter!"
Su Murou's beautiful eyes flashed and she walked quickly to the Xiao family's back garden.
