Chapter 483 The Miss is Depressed
Zhang Shen'er sat on the makeup stool, looking dejected.
Her uncle, Zhang Jiucheng, walked over: "Shen'er ah, I know, this matter is a bit unfair to you. You are originally a child from a branch family; logically, these matters shouldn't involve you."
"But our family is unfortunate! The Zhang family hasn't produced a male descendant of Tiansimen or above for many years, the family line isn't flourishing. Besides, you've reached that age. Haven't you been going on blind dates everywhere in the city? Anyway, it's all blind dates. Finding a young man who is a good match for our Zhang family, has strength, and is young and vigorous, how good is that?"
Zhang Shen'er looked at Zhang Jiucheng: "You never told me the Zhang family's main lineage is an ancient martial family."
"Yes, isn't there a family rule! The branch family is responsible for earning money and supporting the family, the main lineage is responsible for the ancient martial inheritance..."
"Since you are responsible for the inheritance, and now it can't be passed down, what are you looking for me for? I won't do it."
"Ai! Main lineage or branch family, one stroke can't write two Zhangs! (Idiom: we are all one family) Rest assured, we are not forcing you on a blind date. How about this, for the blind date matter, you decide. As long as you can take a fancy to a young talent, ah, get him to agree to marry into the Zhang family. I guarantee, whatever requests you have, our main lineage will completely satisfy."
"The wedding house, wedding car... no problem, and also give a sum of money for you young couple to live on. From now on, you are a member of the main lineage, officially entered into the main lineage's genealogy, inheritance in order."
Zhang Shen'er looked out the window, sighed.
She lowered her head, her beautiful fingers fiddling with the corner of her clothes.
Didn't know why, Lu Chengwen suddenly came to mind.
This big pervert, what is he doing now?
Is he working in the office, or drinking with friends?
Or maybe on a date with Leng Qingqiu, or Xu Xuejiao?
So annoying! Why am I thinking of him!
Heartless fellow!
Hate you the most!
Zhang Shen'er angrily tugged the corner of her clothes, tears plopping down from her aggrieved big eyes.
He and I are fundamentally people from two different worlds.
He's a rich man, also an ancient martial artist... heh, yet I'm a police officer.
Been trying to catch him since young. Caught him so many times, he already hates me.
Perhaps, this is fate.
When I discovered his good points, he was already no longer interested in me.
Every time he sees me, he has an impatient look, his expression says it all, "How did I run into this woman again?"
Zhang Shen'er said calmly: "Letting me choose a husband is fine, but you must agree to three conditions."
"Speak, speak, Shen'er. As long as you agree to help your uncle and grandfather, forget three, I'll agree to thirty."
"First, my future husband must be chosen by me. Not necessarily the strongest, but definitely the one most pleasing to my eye."
"No problem! This is natural!" Uncle readily agreed: "This kind of thing is a matter of fate. It's impossible for that person to make you want to vomit just looking at him, yet we force you to marry! Future days still depend on you two living them, emotional foundation is very important."
"Second, the person I choose, in the future you are not allowed to look down on him, not allowed to call him a live-in son-in-law."
"That's natural! Our family will definitely look highly upon our son-in-law. Our family still has this much upbringing and tact. In the future, that son-in-law will be our family's star, moon, doting on him won't even be enough."
"Third, the selection process is up to me. Whatever I say we compete in, we compete in. The final judgment of victory or defeat is up to me."
"No problem! Shen'er, as long as it's a young lad of Shangsimen intermediate level or above, whichever one, or several, you like, just let them compete according to your requirements. Who stays in the end, you decide!"
...
Main Hall.
The Zhang family's eldest young miss, dressed in festive attire, sat demurely behind a curtain.
Her figure looked good, but her face was hidden by a golden round fan.
Lu Chengwen laughed: "Feels pretty good! This Zhang family chick should be of good quality, I give her five points."
Zhao Ritian also got excited: "Don't casually score my wife, show some respect."
Long Aotian smiled: "The winner has to be a live-in son-in-law, you guys think clearly."
Lu Chengwen said: "Win the Tianmen Dan and leave. Live-in son-in-law? Which of you two can willingly be a live-in son-in-law?"
Zhao Ritian said resolutely: "I can."
Long Aotian calculated inwardly: Looks like this Zhang family is quite influential in the North Kingdom. If I can really become the Zhang family's son-in-law, perhaps it will greatly benefit my future development.
As for the status and dignity of being a live-in son-in-law?
Hehe, if I, Long Aotian, marry in, your whole family will have to belong to me!
Me marrying in, is that called marrying in? That's called an acquisition. In the future, the entire Zhang family will have to watch my expression, listen to my commands, dance to my whims!
The first day was the selection round.
Over a hundred young talents participated. Half were eliminated on the first day.
The three Chen brothers each drew an opponent and defeated them without suspense.
Except Lu Chengwen's fight was a bit perilous, Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian were clearly two beasts, almost becoming famous in one battle!
After one round of competition, half the people had already been tragically eliminated.
However, many eliminated people didn't plan to leave, but continued to stay and watch the excitement.
The Zhang family handled things very steadily, still providing good food and drink, all guest rooms fully open.
Lu Chengwen took a punch. Lifted his clothes, a patch was bruised.
Qi Meishao gently applied medicine for him: "Master, tomorrow if you face Long Aotian or Zhao Ritian, Master might as well just give up. In a solo fight, you are not their opponent. Better to do them a favor."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "If it weren't for these two grandsons, I could still compete. Unfortunately, these two bastards also want to be live-in sons-in-law."
Hua Xueying excitedly held her phone: "Message! Master! Tonight, about twenty people have already voluntarily withdrawn!"
Lu Chengwen was puzzled: "Why?"
Qi Meishao said: "Probably know their strength isn't enough, or saw Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian's abilities, know they are definitely no match, so to avoid self-humiliation?"
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Also possible some are already injured, don't want to continue fighting with injuries tomorrow. Lose both face and substance."
"Mm." Qi Meishao said: "Do we need to withdraw?"
Lu Chengwen hesitated.
Shishu demanded I get the Tianmen Dan. If I can't get it, that old fellow won't really go crazy and keep targeting me, right?
Lu Chengwen felt irritable, didn't attend the big dinner party in the evening, ate alone in his room, then went out for a walk.
...
Uncle was very excited.
"Shen'er ah, today there are a few people truly worth seeing!"
"Look at this one, Chen Sanjin, aiya, very formidable! Look at his match recording. Didn't use three or five moves, just defeated that Zhao family kid of the same level."
Zhang Shen'er glanced, suddenly felt something was wrong.
Looking more closely, isn't this Long Aotian? How did he become Chen Sanjin!?
"Uncle, what did you say his name was?"
"Chen Sanjin, Chen Ergou's second son. They came as three brothers to compete. Hehe, although the family isn't very prominent, this generation produced three Shangsimen masters, worthy of his old dad's pride. This is planning to send a live-in son-in-law to us, striving for a Tiansimen master to also appear in the family!"
"Are there photos of the other two?"
"Yes! I was just about to tell you this!" Uncle excitedly pulled up another video file: "Look at this one again! Chen Sandun, as formidable as his second brother. One and a half moves, just one and a half moves, the opponent couldn't get up! And although this kid is a bit dark, his big eyes are bright and spirited, looks upright and simple-honest, very likable."
Zhang Shen'er glanced. This one she didn't know.
How did Long Aotian become Chen Sanjin? And has a dark younger brother?
"What about their eldest?"
"Oh, Chen Sanliang." Uncle said smilingly: "Although also a Shangsimen talent, compared to his two younger brothers, much inferior. But he also won today, seems like he took a few hits. However, the eldest brother is indeed the most handsome, hahaha."
Zhang Shen'er looked at the video and photos, immediately stood up.
Uncle paused: "Shen'er, what's wrong?"
Zhang Shen'er said: "Are you sure his name is Chen Sanliang?"
"This... could it be fake?" Uncle suddenly remembered something: "Oh! You mean the three of them don't look alike? Hi, ancient martial family, maybe his old dad has three wives and four concubines, very normal. These three brothers, we all estimate aren't born from the same mother. Or... maybe their old dad isn't Chen Ergou at all, Chen Ergou... is raising sons for someone else."
"But you don't need to worry! We don't care about their Chen family matters, nor do we mind. Main thing is good character, strong kung fu, promising future! Marrying into our Zhang family, then they are our Zhang family's people. Those messy affairs of their Chen family have nothing to do with us."
Zhang Shen'er stood up and walked out: "I'm going out for a bit."
"Hey, where are you going? Still a few young talents haven't seen!"
...
The Zhang family's mountain villa was built really imposingly.
Lu Chengwen initially wondered, why did this reclusive family build so many large buildings?
Only later did he find out, this was actually a famous hot spring resort mountain villa in the North Kingdom.
Just the hotel buildings alone, there were two, seven or eight stories high, all equipped with professional waiters, cleaners, security...
Half the hot springs were open-air, which was very rare in the North Kingdom.
What was commendable was the special geographical environment here; it could maintain a relatively comfortable temperature even in winter.
Service staff introduced that three huge warm air blowers were installed here, allowing the hot spring area to remain warm and pleasant even in winter.
Many people come here for hot springs in winter.
Imagine, goose-feather snow falling from the sky, you sitting in a low-lying basin, soaking in the hot spring, steam rising, looking up, it's simply two different worlds.
Lu Chengwen bought a swimsuit, took Qi Meishao to soak in the hot springs.
Hua Xueying was more conservative, absolutely refused to change into a swimsuit.
Thus, Lu Chengwen hogged the limelight, taking a peerless beauty to soak in each hot spring pool one by one, ascending the steps along the way.
A man walked up to Lu Chengwen, smiling: "Brother Chen."
Saying that, his eyes darted around, sizing up Qi Meishao.
Qi Meishao's gaze was icy, an indescribable disgust in her heart.
Lu Chengwen put an arm around Qi Meishao. Qi Meishao smiled submissively.
"Something wrong, brother?"
The man smiled slightly: "Brother Chen is truly fortunate!"
"It's alright. How should I address Your Excellency?"
"Pang family, Pang Meng!"
