When Xiao Zhan returned home, he poured the large bag of new clothes all over the sofa in the living room. There were various colors, styles and sizes, and Su Xiaomeng jumped on them excitedly.
Su Muqiu took out two sets of men's suits and handed them to Xiao Zhan, "These are for you to choose from."
"Thank you, honey."
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed.
Su Muqiu's blush had not faded, and she gestured, "I don't know your size, so I chose by feel. Take a shower later and try them on to see if they fit."
"Since my wife chose them, there's no need to try. They will definitely fit."
Xiao Zhan coaxed her.
"You!"
Su Muqiu was both shy and angry. She and Xiao Zhan were only engaged, neither held a wedding nor went to the civil affairs bureau to get a certificate, so they were not really legal spouses. Yet Xiao Zhan kept calling her "wife" as if taking advantage of her.
Rogue!
Just then, Liu Hongxiu pushed Su Jiancheng in.
As soon as they entered, they saw Xiao Zhan teasing Su Muqiu. Liu Hongxiu's worried face became even uglier, and she glared fiercely at Xiao Zhan. Then she said to Su Muqiu, "Muqiu, come here for a moment, Mom wants to ask you something."
After that, she turned and went to the kitchen.
"Oh."
Su Muqiu also glared fiercely at Xiao Zhan. Without guessing, she knew what Liu Hongxiu was worried about and wanted to ask.
Mother and daughter went to the kitchen.
Su Xiaomeng was there fiddling with the new clothes.
Only Su Jiancheng and Xiao Zhan were left, looking at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Su Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The car outside, did you really buy it with your own money? Is it really worth over 6 million?"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhan nodded undeniably.
Su Jiancheng asked again, "Where did you get so much money?"
"Saved from before."
Xiao Zhan casually lied.
During his five years as a soldier, Xiao Zhan fought bloody battles on the frontier, made countless achievements, and step by step became the Wolf King of the North who struck fear into the hearts of the enemy. On several occasions, he even saved the world economy from the brink of collapse in times of crisis.
That's why he deservedly obtained the limited edition supreme black card from Global Bank.
What's more, it was a supreme black card that Global Bank had specially customized for him personally.
The wolf head pattern on the black card was unique!
It represented his invincible Blood Wolf Group, and the wolf head was the symbol of the Wolf King, with profound significance!
"From before? Saved up?"
Su Jiancheng's eyebrows wrinkled. He wasn't stupid either. He could tell at a glance that Xiao Zhan was deliberately concealing something and not telling the truth. He really wanted to ask: "What did you do before? How did you save up over 60 million? Can you tell me so I can learn to save some too?"
But since Xiao Zhan didn't want to say, he thought about it, and didn't ask the question.
"Dad."
Xiao Zhan called him and imperceptibly changed the subject, "It's just a car, no big deal. After your legs recover and you can walk and drive again, I'll buy you another one. By then, you can take Mom out for a drive and enjoy your blessings."
"My legs?"
Su Jiancheng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile, sighing, "My legs, I know they've been disabled for years and have completely lost sensation. I'll be a cripple for the rest of my life."
Cripple!
A car accident years ago had left Su Jiancheng with crippled legs. The blow to him was huge, both physically and mentally, almost more than he could bear. So in recent years he had been muddling along, his status in the Su family plummeting.
He had lost his original fighting spirit.
He was too lazy to compete for Su's business anymore, knowing he couldn't win or seize it. Why humiliate himself?
As for recovery...
He had never hoped for it, unrealistic!
Nothing is more sorrowful than a dead heart.
The Su Jiancheng before him was a living example. For years, as the only man in a family of four, the original pillar collapsed watching Su Muqiu and Liu Hongxiu work hard and struggle, while he himself could only sit in a wheelchair waiting to be fed and watered. Not only was he unable to help, but he had to drag Su Muqiu and Liu Hongxiu down like a burden. His bitterness was indescribable!
Just staying alive took tremendous courage!
"Dad, don't lose heart."
Having also suffered a fatal blow years ago as a man, Xiao Zhan knew that hatred against heaven and earth and against himself, as well as the helplessness and despair of crying out but getting no response, from personal experience.
So he could empathize with Su Jiancheng's pain.
He often thought that if he had his current ability five years ago, he could have protected himself and his mother. Then his mother would not have returned to the capital, let alone kneeled to death at the Xiao family gate!
His mother's death was an eternal pain in his heart!
In the past, he couldn't save his own mother. Now, if he could save Su Muqiu's father, it would be good.
So Xiao Zhan said solemnly, "Actually, I studied Chinese medicine before and was a doctor. I know some acupuncture and massage techniques, and have cured some cases like Dad's who were disabled for years."
"If you believe me, why not let me try."
"You?!"
Su Jiancheng looked up at Xiao Zhan, staring wide-eyed in disbelief, "Really???"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Anyway, there's no harm in trying. If I can't do it, the situation won't be worse than now. What if I can do it?"
"But..."
"Dad, wait a moment, I'll go boil some hot water to soak your feet first, stimulate blood flow and tendons, then give you a leg massage."
Su Jiancheng had some doubts, but Xiao Zhan didn't give him a chance to refuse.
After speaking, he turned and left.
Su Jiancheng was stunned there, watching Xiao Zhan's back, with mixed emotions in his heart. After years of dormancy, the heart that had become like dead ashes seemed to be rekindled by Xiao Zhan's words, seeing a ray of hope.
Somewhat excited.
But he didn't dare show it, suppressing that tiny bit of hope and excitement tightly in his heart, because in his opinion, such hope was too slim, with little chance of realization.
How could it be such a coincidence that his son-in-law who had been in the Su family for less than a day happened to be a doctor, and so skilled that he could just treat his crippled legs?
Hard to believe!
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
For someone like Su Jiancheng who had died once, giving him hope was like bringing him back to life. If it failed, the tremendous disappointment would be like letting him die again...
......
In the kitchen.
Liu Hongxiu closed the door and asked while cooking, "Muqiu, what exactly is going on between you and that rapist?"
"What's going on?" Su Muqiu pretended to be stupid.
"Don't try to fool me!"
Liu Hongxiu said coldly, "I'm your mother! No one knows you better than me! Ever since some bastard got you inexplicably pregnant five years ago, you were deeply hurt even if you didn't say it. You even developed a cleanliness obsession with men, and never let a man touch your finger!"
"Yet just now you actually let that rapist hold your hand???"
"Tell your mother honestly, did he say or do something to you? Or, are you...have you been deceived by his kindness to you and Xiaomeng, and started to have feelings for him???"
Liu Hongxiu was anxious, so she got right to the point instead of beating around the bush.
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
