Chapter 302 No Betrothal Gifts Needed
Murong Meng touched her pointed chin and said with certainty, "It seems I need to eat more!"
Not only that, Murong Meng also planned to find a gym and sign up for a yoga class. Although she already had a figure that made eighty percent of women envious, she felt it wasn't good enough yet.
At this moment, a servant from the Murong family walked over and said softly, "Miss, the Old Master asked me to invite you to the study. He said there's something important to discuss with you."
"I'll be right there."
Murong Meng came back to her senses, turned around, and walked towards the study.
Murong Meng arrived at the study and sat there for ten minutes. However, Old Master Murong seemed to be contemplating something, his eyes flickering and unpredictable.
Murong Meng was getting impatient. Just as she was about to ask, Old Master Murong hesitated, seemingly making a decision. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked up at Murong Meng, and said, "Xiao Meng, what do you think of this Mr. Chen?"
"He's quite good. Not only is he powerful in martial arts, but he also has a miraculous alchemy skill."
Murong Meng's pretty face flushed, and Chen Xuan's face flashed in her mind. She stammered, a little shy.
"Xiao Meng, you know Grandpa doesn't mean it like that. I want to ask if you have any feelings for him?" Old Master Murong coughed twice and asked softly.
Old Master Murong knew Chen Xuan's identity and that Chen Xuan was the son-in-law chosen by the Su family. He was initially unwilling to let Murong Meng be with Chen Xuan, but today's battle changed his mind.
Chen Xuan is a true dragon!
After speaking, Old Master Murong couldn't help but blush.
He and the Su family were old acquaintances. At his age, he was actually teaching his granddaughter to snatch someone else's fiancée. If this got out, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
However, he could no longer care about that. Who told the Su family's son-in-law to have such great potential!
Murong Meng, with a blush, didn't seem particularly shy and boldly said, "Meng'er naturally likes such an excellent man."
Old Master Murong's tone was somewhat solemn, "If you like him, feel free to pursue him."
"Grandpa, you agree?"
Murong Meng was stunned.
In a large family like the Murong family, they had no right to decide their own partners. Old Master Murong actually said something like this to her?
Old Master Murong nodded sincerely, "Our family will not set any obstacles for you. Don't worry, our Murong family won't ask for a single penny in betrothal gifts. Grandpa will also prepare a generous betrothal gift for you."
Murong Meng's beautiful eyes flickered with a different light.
"I understand."
Murong Meng nodded with a blush.
She understood that Old Master Murong had taken a liking to Chen Xuan's potential.
At this moment, Old Master Murong changed the subject and said earnestly, "By the way, Xiao Meng, I heard that Xuanji Hall is opening. Please prepare a generous gift for me."
Old Master Murong had also received news of Xuanji Hall's opening.
"Oh, I'll go do it now."
Murong Meng didn't think much of it. Chen Xuan was that person's junior brother. Loving the person and extending the love to their connections, giving a gift seemed natural, especially since Chen Xuan was also Su Yunxi's fiancé.
On the way back to Medical God Pharmaceuticals, Chen Xuan sneezed several times: "Who's thinking of me so much?"
Just then, his phone rang. Chen Xuan saw it was Black Tiger's call and immediately answered.
"Mr. Chen, we landed a big contract today!" Black Tiger said excitedly.
"Oh? You're already open for business?" Chen Xuan asked.
Black Tiger smiled smugly, "Of course. Mr. Chen, don't you look at my connections? Who dares not give me face now? Of course, this is all because of you, Mr. Chen, hahahaha."
However, the implication was that he was showing off how awesome he was now.
"What contract is it?" Chen Xuan asked casually.
"The Murong family just called and wants to hire a group of people from Xuanji Hall to be responsible for the Murong family's security, for twenty million a month! They've already paid three months' deposit! They also said that if needed, the contract will be extended after three months."
Black Tiger was beaming with pride, "Twenty million a month, even the Wanyang Martial Arts School doesn't get such a big contract every year."
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, immediately understanding what was going on. It seemed Old Master Murong was intentionally doing him a favor.
"Good, I understand." Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Black Tiger continued to brag about how influential he was, but quickly reacted.
He noticed Chen Xuan's calm reaction, as if everything was within his expectations. He was startled and cautiously asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, is the Murong family cooperating with Xuanji Hall because of your influence?"
Chen Xuan said lightly, "It's alright. I just helped the Murong family with a small favor today and recommended Xuanji Hall to them."
Black Tiger was instantly embarrassed and a bit regretful, "I thought it was my influence. Alas, it's still Mr. Chen who has the influence."
"You've performed very well. Xuanji Hall is being managed in an orderly manner now," Chen Xuan praised.
Black Tiger chuckled.
Indeed, he had put a lot of effort into managing Xuanji Hall.
Although many people from the Qingcheng Martial Arts School were sent to help with Xuanji Hall's affairs, it was also inseparable from Black Tiger's hard work.
"Although you are managing Xuanji Hall, you must not forget to cultivate," Chen Xuan reminded him.
For a martial arts force like Xuanji Hall, the subordinates valued your martial arts strength the most, not your character. If it weren't for Chen Xuan's presence now, others wouldn't have obeyed Black Tiger at all.
"I can be promoted to a Fourth-grade Inner Strength Master right away," Black Tiger scratched his head, a little lacking in confidence.
This speed, if placed in other martial arts schools or forces, would be considered skyrocketing. However, Chen Xuan was not satisfied.
Black Tiger was already old, and his potential was limited!
If he were a young man, with such resources poured in, he should have at least been promoted to a Sixth-grade Inner Strength Master by now.
That evening, back at the villa, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa and saw Mo Xiaoxue sitting on the sofa, her big eyes fixed on the television, glowing. The TV was showing Ultraman Tiga.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan found it very strange. An Inner Strength Grandmaster shouldn't be obsessed with martial arts and practicing in seclusion all day. Yet, Mo Xiaoxue was always neglecting her duties, working with Su Yunxi during the day, watching TV at night, and recently became obsessed with Ultraman.
But Chen Xuan found that Mo Xiaoxue's strength had improved again.
Was Mo Xiaoxue the child of someone else that the neighborhood aunties talked about?
Chen Xuan began to be curious about Mo Xiaoxue's origins. He had tried to inquire about her background a while ago, but Mo Xiaoxue never mentioned it.
He didn't ask any further.
"Have an apple!"
Su Yunxi walked over with a washed apple, threw an apple to Chen Xuan, and then sat on the sofa, watching Ultraman with Mo Xiaoxue.
At this moment, Su Yunxi received a call from Murong Meng.
On the phone, Murong Meng sounded a bit excited and infatuated, "Yunxi, do you know? Chen Xuan's senior brother came to see me today and helped my family a lot!"
"Oh?"
Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan, thinking that what she said to Chen Xuan yesterday had worked. She was very happy, "What did he talk to you about?"
Chen Xuan also pricked up his ears to listen, while Mo Xiaoxue continued to watch the TV with a smile.
Murong Meng was a little sweet, "He didn't say much, he saved my life, and there's good news."
"What good news?"
Su Yunxi was also a little gossipy.
Women are like that, especially when they're with their best friends. They are completely different from when they are with men.
"My grandfather told me to pursue Chen Xuan's senior brother, Chen Baicao. Not only does he not want any betrothal gifts, but he also said he would prepare a generous dowry," Murong Meng said with a smile.
"That's great news, your grandfather actually agreed."
Su Yunxi was also a little excited, genuinely happy for her best friend. Clearly, she also knew the rules of large families regarding their children's marriages.
With Old Master Murong's approval, all obstacles were removed, and it was up to the development of their relationship.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
