The group watched silently.
Gu Yuanming recalled some past events. His ancestors said these two jade pendants were originally two chess pieces, one black and one white. This was why their Gu family's underground organization was called "Xingluo" (Starry Sky).
"Xingluo chess pieces" meant to be the chess player, not a pawn.
After a long while, a simple dragon shape appeared on the jade pendant, transforming into a stream of light and flying to his heart. Gu Nanyan slowly opened his eyes and said,
"There is indeed a space. Inside, there are mountains, water, land, and a small wooden house. Next to the wooden house is a warehouse, and the warehouse space is folded up; it's quite large."
Gu Yuanming twirled the walnut in his hand, his wise, cloudy eyes filled with a smile. "That's not bad. This space for planting is in A-Jue's hands; let him farm. Our precious Sui-Sui shouldn't be doing such hard work."
Gu Nanyan: ...How can you talk about your grandson like that? So gloating.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk to him, Gu Yuanming tossed him a pen. "What, Grandpa, am I wrong?"
"Be careful, this pen costs a million. It's not easy for your grandson to earn money." Gu Nanyan caught it and placed it on the table. "You're right."
Then, he stared at Luo Suisui with a meaningful look. "I can't bear to let Suisui go to farm either."
Luo Suisui felt like prey being stalked by a wolf under his gaze. Her ears burned, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes.
Luo Wenyao: ...He's seducing my precious daughter right in front of me. Where does that leave me?
Although he quite agreed with Suisui being with Gu Nanyan—in Haicheng, or even the whole country, it was hard to find a young man like Gu Nanyan—
a father is naturally hostile to men who covet his daughter.
Luo Wenyao soon took his leave. "Uncle Gu, let's call it a day. Sui Sui has a cold, and I want her to rest early."
Gu Yuanming nodded. "Okay. Let's all think about how to deal with this next."
After the two left, Gu Yuanming looked at his grandson, whose eyes were fixed on the door, and said with exasperation, "Can't you put in a little more effort? I arranged it for you when you were little, and you still haven't brought her home."
"No rush, I know what I'm doing," Gu Nanyan said slowly.
That night, in his sleep, Gu Nanyan dreamed of the delicate and soft Luo Sui Sui sobbing softly in his arms, her fair skin a faint pink.
Her eyes were red, just like when he saw her at the hospital that day.
"Sui Sui." A soft, ethereal murmur echoed in the empty room.
Gu Nanyan sat up abruptly, looked at the moonlight, and rubbed his temples.
Why did he wake up at such a crucial moment?
He wanted to marry her immediately and do bad things to her.
The next morning, Luo Suisui checked the sales in the shop window as soon as she got up.
Half of everything had been sold, so her total income was 2650 dimensional coins. Adding the initial 10 dimensional coins, that made 2660 dimensional coins.
She had made 300 transactions, accumulating 300 points.
Luo Suisui excitedly exclaimed, "Zhuanzhuan, can I level up now?"
[Yes, congratulations to the host for leveling up to a Level 1 dimensional merchant. Currently, you have 200 points remaining.]
[Would the host like to proactively contact a dimensional merchant for a private transaction?]
[Friendly reminder: Private transactions are permanent, but for overall balance, the host cannot choose to trade with merchants of a higher dimensional level or higher dimensional merchant level than themselves.]
"You mean, I can only proactively contact people from Level 2 dimensional planes and below for transactions now? If I want to privately contact merchants from Level 4 interstellar planes, I can only do so after becoming a Level 4 dimensional merchant."
[Yes.]
Luo Suisui nodded, not finding it a sad thing. Although she couldn't chat privately, she could still buy things through the product showcase and the monthly two-day trading square.
"Zhuanzhuan, I'll hold off on private chats for now, later."
Her mother was coming home today, and so was Su Wanwan.
At noon, Luo Suisui sat in her bedroom, watching the living room monitor on her laptop.
Her father said he didn't want Su Wanwan to see her, because he couldn't guarantee everything would go smoothly. Most importantly, he wanted to use her as a way to naturally divert her mother's attention from Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan followed Mu Rong in, looking at the Luo family's opulent decorations and the rows of servants greeting them at the door, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"The Luo family is so rich!"
[With the identity of the Luo family's heiress, the host can collect a large amount of resources.]
"I know, but system, why did you make me choose the Luo family in the first place?"
Su Wanwan had been wondering, because her initial choice was the capital, the place everyone called the "Magic City," full of powerful and influential people.
[According to the system's program analysis, this is the most effective way to approach the primary target.] "Please speed up the conquest process, and don't slack off on the other characters as well."
"Okay, System," Su Wanwan replied cheerfully.
She knew the system was doing it for her own good, assigning her characters who were accomplished in their respective fields. Her previous points came from conquering a superior who had returned from studying abroad.
Unfortunately, she didn't get many points. The system said it was because his difficulty level wasn't high, and his achievements weren't particularly impressive.
Luo Wenyao went to greet Mu Rong the moment he saw her.
Mu Rong wore a blue dress and a jade bracelet; her features were exquisite, her temperament both elegant and sharp.
She glanced around and asked, "Where's Sui Sui?"
Luo Wenyao looked troubled. "Sui Sui is throwing a tantrum upstairs. She doesn't even want to see me. Rong'er, why don't you go and persuade her to come down?"
Mu Rong sounded worried, but still turned to look at Su Wanwan. Although she didn't have much affection for this suddenly appearing daughter, leaving her behind wasn't a good idea.
Su Wanwan, dressed in a plain white dress, looked radiant and smiled sweetly. "Mom, go ahead, I'm fine."
This showed her magnanimity and understanding.
Mu Rong nodded and walked upstairs to his daughter's room.
"Dad, does she not like me? Should I not have shown up?" Su Wanwan feigned hurt.
Luo Wenyao, seeing his wife had entered their daughter's room, felt relieved.
He smiled gently. "Wanwan, Sui Sui still doesn't quite believe it. For the sake of your peaceful coexistence, could you and I do another paternity test for Sui Sui?"
"I've already brought the doctor and the testing equipment." Luo Wenyao clapped his hands, and the person who had been sitting quietly beside him pushed over with some things.
Su Wanwan was startled; there were many servants and bodyguards in the living room, and she hadn't noticed them. In her heart, she anxiously cried out
, "System, what do I do now? Can you change the test results again?"
