Chapter 525 I Don't Want the Woman Who Came to My Door
Zhang Jiucheng glanced.
Lu Chengwen stared straight at Zhang Ningxin. Zhang Ningxin's gaze towards Lu Chengwen was also sparking.
He smiled.
Indeed, Lu Chengwen falls for this.
"Oh, Chengwen ah, this is a niece of mine, a talented woman, very strategic. I see, you can become friends, communicate more in the future."
Lu Chengwen snapped back to reality, instantly understanding the old man's meaning.
Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "How dare I, how dare I. Chengwen is a lecher. Getting too close to such a beautiful girl, afraid it will ruin the lady's reputation."
While speaking to Zhang Jiucheng here, Zhang Ningxin over there said smilingly: "Boss Lu is a big figure, how could he fancy a rustic village girl like me? Right, Boss Lu?"
Zhang Ningxin's voice was full of temptation. Under the table, her foot had already moved to Lu Chengwen's vital area, pressing gently.
Lu Chengwen endured, one hand went down and directly pinched that small foot in stockings.
Zhang Ningxin was momentarily nervous, shy. Not only did her face turn red, but her breathing also quickened.
Lu Chengwen's expression was calm as usual, said smilingly: "From now on, everyone in the Zhang family is Lu Chengwen's friend. Of course, that includes Miss Ningxin."
Lu Chengwen released Zhang Ningxin's foot, clearly a rejection.
Zhang Jiucheng said: "Then this, you must accept."
Zhang Jiucheng said, taking out a small bottle, placing it on the table.
"This is..."
"This is Shangyuan Chongtian Wan (Upper Origin Heaven Rushing Pill)!" Zhang Jiucheng said: "An Shangsimen master, taking one pill, if the cultivation method and absorption are suitable, most likely can break through one level! Even if not breaking through, strength will greatly increase, can help one break through bottlenecks sooner."
"Of course, can't compare to Tianmen Dan, but for ordinary Shangsimen, especially Shangsimen below peak realm, absolutely a treasure hard to find even with a thousand gold!"
Lu Chengwen got excited.
"Uncle Zhang, this... isn't it too valuable?"
"Not expensive. Just consider it Zhang Jiucheng climbing your Boss Lu's high branch, hehe. Boss Lu ah, this face, you have to grant it to me, right?"
Lu Chengwen's side had basically figured it out.
The Zhang family mistakenly thinks I have a relationship with the Jiang family. Although I don't know how he got it wrong, anyway, he got it wrong.
And this Jiang family is clearly a behemoth. Not only is the Zhang family so wary, even Junshi's expression changed then.
Zhuge Qin usually has great composure, rarely loses his cool like that. Shows this Jiang family's energy must be much greater than the Zhang family's.
So, him coming to "resolve misunderstandings" with me today is absolutely full of sincerity.
Giving jade pendants, giving pills, even wanting to give his own niece.
Lu Chengwen said: "Not reciprocating a courtesy is impolite! Uncle wait a moment."
Lu Chengwen retrieved a Da Huitian Wan, two Fu Gu Jian Yuan Dan, and two bottles of Xingqi Zhoutian San from the system.
Came to Zhang Jiucheng's side, placed them on the table: "These few little things, please also Uncle Zhang accept with a smile."
"Aiyo, Chengwen, this won't do, this won't do!"
"Ai! You gave me so many things, yet don't want what I give. How can we be friends in the future? Chengwen has felt your sincerity. Chengwen's sincerity, please also Uncle accept with a smile!"
Zhang Jiucheng picked them up and looked: "This is... Xingqi Zhoutian San? Good stuff! This is... Fu Gu Jian Yuan Dan? Aiya, too valuable, too valuable ah Chengwen! This is..."
"Da Huitian Wan."
Zhang Jiucheng was extremely shocked.
Lu Chengwen indeed is worthy of being a man connected to the Jiang family!
Even gives away things like Da Huitian Wan!?
This is life-saving divine medicine!
In most cases, as long as you still have one breath left, as long as your zhengqi (righteous energy) heavenly cycle can barely operate, one Da Huitian Wan down, basically absolutely can save your life!
And absolutely won't damage cultivation!
This kind of medicinal pill, let alone the Zhang family, even the Jiang family wouldn't easily give it away casually.
"Chengwen... I... this... you..."
Lu Chengwen said smilingly: "Keep them. That day, hot-headed, I snatched Zhang Shen'er, indeed my actions lacked consideration. Sun family's side, you try your best to talk. If settled, everyone is fine. If not settled, it's also not the Zhang family's business, I'll deal with them."
"This jade pendant of mine..."
"Ai!" Lu Chengwen stopped him: "Uncle, family heirloom must be given to family inheritors! This I cannot accept! Shangyuan Chongtian Wan, I accept it. Many thanks for uncle's good intention."
Zhang Jiucheng felt Lu Chengwen was truly a good sort.
His own posture was already so low. He could completely manipulate him. Even if he proposed some unreasonable demands, he would have to accept.
But he saw his own embarrassment and apprehension, yet didn't kick him when he was down. Instead, returned favor for favor, giving him sufficient respect and courtesy.
This kind of man indeed has scope, not an ordinary person.
Zhang Jiucheng, at this moment, truly looked at Lu Chengwen with new eyes, could even be said to admire him to the point of prostrating himself!
No wonder he can have dealings with the Jiang family.
This breadth of mind, this character, this scope, this bearing... ordinary people really cannot achieve!
Zhang Jiucheng was extremely grateful.
The Zhang family is saved!
Now basically both substance and face are saved.
Zhang Jiucheng completely didn't expect today would be so successful! So smooth!
He excitedly held Lu Chengwen's hand, walked to the side: "Chengwen, if only we had this conversation earlier, it would have been great."
"Not too late now. Those Sun family people, I knew at a glance, are profit-seeking villains. Towards your Zhang family, they might be polite and attentive, but towards others inferior to them, definitely bullies who exploit their power, bully the weak and fear the strong. Uncle should cut ties with them as soon as possible, lest implicated by them in the future."
Zhang Jiucheng understood. Lu Chengwen was determined to destroy the Sun family.
This was hinting to him, don't look for trouble, quickly extricate yourself, otherwise with one big stick from them, who knows if an accidental injury will also split your head open.
Zhang Jiucheng said: "Chengwen, what do you think of Ningxin?"
Lu Chengwen said: "National beauty, unparalleled intelligence."
Zhang Jiucheng said: "I drank too much, want to go back to the hotel first. How about this, tonight let Ningxin stay, talk properly with you about other matters our two families can cooperate on."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Uncle, this isn't appropriate."
"No no no, Chengwen, don't misunderstand! I'm not asking her to only talk about work. What you want to talk about... just manage it yourselves."
Lu Chengwen said: "I didn't misunderstand. Received a pill from you, I already know your sincerity, no need to add more."
Zhang Jiucheng felt somewhat awkward: "She hasn't had a boyfriend, today I forced her to come. But I see, after she saw you, clearly likes you very much."
Lu Chengwen thought inwardly:
[My net worth is in the hundreds of billions. Any woman seeing me likes me.]
[A woman stands in my villa, doesn't even need to look at me, can fall in love with me just by looking at my house.]
"Your painstaking efforts I understand, your good intentions I appreciate. As for other things, let's take it slow."
"Aiya, you young man, it's very common for a big man to have three wives and four concubines! Moreover, we ancient martial artists, I even have four wives! Qin-Jin alliance, Qin-Jin alliance!"
Lu Chengwen was caught between laughter and tears. But Zhang Jiucheng seemed determined, using the excuse of being drunk, strode out. The driver was already waiting. Zhang Jiucheng, ignoring Lu Chengwen's attempts to detain him, got in the car and left.
Standing at the door, Lu Chengwen was in a daze.
What is this!?
This old fellow is quite something! Really willing to invest!
His own niece, really just left her for me?
If I knew this earlier, why would I snatch anyone! If I had bullshitted you like this earlier, would Zhang Shen'er still need snatching?
Turned around. Zhang Ningxin stood on the steps, arms crossed, smiling:
"Boss Lu is very dissatisfied with me?"
"Ah? No, very satisfied."
"Then is my figure not good enough?"
"Your figure is very good."
"Breasts not big enough?"
Lu Chengwen discovered this girl... was very unrestrained.
Saying these things, still light and breezy, smiling.
"Big enough."
"I am still a virgin. Please Boss Lu guide me much."
Lu Chengwen awkwardly scratched his head: "Don't, okay, I'll have Meishao tidy up a guest room, you rest early. Tomorrow I'll send a driver to take you back to the provincial capital."
Lu Chengwen walked to her side, said smilingly: "Good night, Miss Ningxin."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Ningxin called out to Lu Chengwen: "Boss Lu."
"Hmm?"
Zhang Ningxin walked up to Lu Chengwen, leaned close to Lu Chengwen, very close.
"I originally hated you very much."
"Oh."
"But today, only then did I see Boss Lu's extraordinary style. To be direct, I've taken a fancy to you."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Chengwen laughed a few times: "I also feel we can become very good friends."
"Meaning you didn't fancy me?"
"Yes." Lu Chengwen said: "You are very beautiful, also very smart. But I don't like smart women, not easy to trick. I just like those girls with relatively simple minds, easy to control."
Zhang Ningxin nodded: "Boss Lu good night."
...
Lu Chengwen arrived at his study on the top floor. Inside were only Junshi and Fubo Tianwang.
"Who's watching Zhang Ningxin?"
"Miss Xueying is watching her!" Fubo Tianwang said.
Lu Chengwen nodded: "What kind of family is the Jiang family, who among you knows?"
Fubo Tianwang said: "One of China's ancient families, real power faction. Can be understood as... China's ancient martial world's... police and judicial institutions."
Lu Chengwen was puzzled: "Isn't there the 'bored and overfed'?"
Junshi said: "'Bored and overfed' is responsible for managing matters related to the secular world, also basically some matters of low-level ancient martial artists like us. And the Jiang family... omnipotent, manages everything, unconstrained by anything, covers everything. 'Bored and overfed' is just one of their subordinate institutions."
Fubo Tianwang said: "If the Jiang family is the captain of the criminal investigation team, then 'bored and overfed' is the neighborhood beat cop, responsible for petty theft cases."
Lu Chengwen didn't understand: "Is the Jiang family much stronger than the Zhang family?"
Junshi nodded, said gravely: "The North Kingdom has a total of seven provinces, one hundred thirty-two prefecture, county-level urban areas; ancient martial families, sects number over a thousand."
"Among them, each city has four glorious families, responsible for managing ancient martial world affairs. Of course, some urban areas only have three, or two."
"The Zhang family is just a small family around the provincial capital that does odd jobs for the glorious Yu family. Because of the Yu family's relationship, their Zhang family is relatively well-off, has face."
"Above the Zhang family there's still the Yu family?" Lu Chengwen said: "How much worse is the Yu family compared to the Jiang family?"
Fubo Tianwang said: "Recently news spread in the North Kingdom, the Jiang family's young master, because he specially went to the Yu family, letting the Yu family receive him, the Yu family's prestige has begun to rise. These two days visitors are endless, various Jianghu sects come to congratulate."
Lu Chengwen was shocked: "Meaning, even the Yu family, just by holding shoes for the Jiang family (doing a small favor), can achieve class advancement, is that right?"
Junshi and Fubo Tianwang nodded together.
Lu Chengwen said: "And... now the Zhang family people think the Jiang family people are backing me?"
