The most dazzling embellishment in the world came from the sun. Whether it was holiness or faith, it was always the same when it was painted with a golden halo.
The Third Madam walked out from the sunlight. Her skirt swayed gently, her waist was as soft as a snake, and the ends of her long hair danced in the wind. It was as if they were plated with a layer of gold. She was so dazzling that she looked like a fairy from the clouds pointing at the mortal world.
Zhu Juntang probably lacked the Third Madam's hundred years of cultivation to achieve this fairy-like feeling.
Walking into the shadow of the low-rise building, it was as if they had arrived in the mortal world. Their facial features and the color of their limbs were the coldest of beauties in the mortal world.
Other than Liu Changan, who was in charge of cooking, and Zhou Dongdong, who had the barrier, everyone else stopped what they were doing and greeted the Third Madam.
The Third Madam nodded lightly and raised her hand, indicating that there was no need to greet her. She only frowned slightly as she looked at the red packet in Zhu Juntang's hand, but did not say anything.
Zhongqing stood behind the Third Madam. He was serious, like an old shopkeeper in an accounting room. It was a completely different feeling from when he was with Zhu Juntang.
Qin Yanan thought to herself that even though Zhong Qing was born in the mainland, he had grown up in Taiwan and had been groomed by the Zhu family during his formative years. After all, he was still different from the assistants and secretaries in the mainland.
Just like her father and great-grandfather's secretaries, they would not be so nervous. There was a clear distinction between the upper and lower ranks.
Liu Changan's spatula was still scraping against the table. He gestured for Zhou Shuling to pass him the bowl. When there was no response, he raised his head and looked at the Third Madam. This woman seemed to be waiting for her to come to him.
Yes, he had such a need. So, Liu Changan grinned, looking very sincere and enthusiastic.
Zhu Juntang glanced at Liu Changan. When she had said that she would introduce her mother to Liu Changan, he had been very angry. Now, he was beaming with joy. He did not look as happy as when he met Zhu Juntang.
"Liu Changan, the Zhu family and the Ye family are old friends. I heard that you did very well in the college entrance exams. This kind of thing is celebrated in the mainland, so I came to congratulate you today. You have a bright future ahead of you, it is time for you to spread your wings. After ten years of hard work, your lofty aspirations will reach the clouds." The Third Madam opened her mouth slightly, revealing her red lips and white teeth. Her voice was like pearls rolling on a jade plate. It was lovely and pleasant, but it was also like the sound of a flute passing through a bamboo forest on a winter night.
"Thank you." Liu Changan looked at the Third Madam's lips, teeth, and brows. "However, when it comes to it, the Ye family and the Su family are old friends. Moreover, my surname is no longer Ye. Great-grandfather once said that after experiencing the proletarian revolution, the old custom of taking turns to marry each other is no longer necessary. Whether my surname is Ye or Liu, as long as I study hard, work hard, and serve the motherland, I will be the successor of socialism. "
The corner of Qin Yanan's eye twitched. It was the first time she saw someone who could still talk nonsense with such a calm expression under the Third Madam's aura.
The Third Madam looked at Liu Changan coldly. His casual manner was no different from Ye Chenyu's. However, with Ye Chenyu's status, it was normal for a young man to look up to his elders. However, randomly imitating others' words and actions was like trying to make a fool of oneself. It was neither fish nor fowl.
The coldness between her brows disappeared in an instant. She smiled faintly. "Is Senior Ye not here today?"
As for what he said, of course, she did not take it to heart.
"He's here," Liu Changan said.
As soon as he said that, Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang looked around. Only Zhou Shuling was baffled. She did not understand anyway. It just so happened that Zhou Dongdong reached out to her mother. Zhou Dongdong walked over and stuffed a dessert into Zhou Shuling's mouth.
"Where is he?" The Third Madam clasped her hands together, still maintaining the elegant posture of a wealthy lady. However, the veins on the back of her hands were bulging.
"He usually doesn't meet strangers. You should know that the elderly often only want to see old friends. They usually don't meet strangers who come knocking on their door." Liu Changan turned to Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang and said, "The old man and old lady in your family should do the same."
Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang nodded involuntarily. After Zhu Juntang nodded, she quickly coughed and turned her head. Fortunately, the Third Madam did not notice her at all.
"That's right." The Third Madam let go of her hand. She did not care about her disappointment. She had long been used to this kind of emotion. She had experienced life and death often. So what if she was disappointed again and again?
"Thank you for your understanding. I also hope that you can communicate with me directly in the future. Sending someone to investigate this kind of thing can't happen again." Liu Changan smiled slightly, looking very gentle.
The Third Madam did not agree. She only sized up Liu Changan with a calm gaze.
Liu Changan did not have the time to exchange glances with her. He took three bowls of spicy chicken soup and filled them with red soup.
The Third Madam did not seem to suspect that he was Ye Chenyu. Or perhaps she did, but she could not confirm it. Even she was not very willing to accept this kind of suspicion.
It was not that Liu Changan did not suspect that the Third Madam was Su Mei. However, all the women who had received his essence energy, including Su Xiaocui, had only extended their lifespans. They had not been able to maintain their youth. Without a doubt, all the efforts that he had made to make others immortal could only be achieved by Shanghai Dandan with the help of this coffin. Whether it was due to his efforts, or just the effects of this coffin, he still had not figured it out.
What was she trying to do? Liu Changan could not be bothered to guess. Let her do whatever she wanted. If she really angered him, it would depend on whether or not he would be in a good mood.
A harmless Wind and Thunder Swordsman like him really exuded the radiance of benevolence and kindness. Perhaps this was what it felt like to be a god.
Liu Changan thought about these trivial things as he continued to cook.
"Yanan, have you seen Senior Ye Chenyu?" The Third Madam retracted her gaze and turned to Qin Yanan.
"No." Qin Yanan put down the kitchen knife in her hand and shook her head seriously. Even though the Third Madam was the same age as Liu Yuewang, she was clearly a woman in her thirties. Qin Yanan was very dissatisfied with Liu Yuewang, but she was willing to maintain the attitude of a junior in front of the Third Madam because the Third Madam had a good relationship with her parents.
The Third Madam then looked at Zhu Juntang.
Zhu Juntang involuntarily glanced at Liu Changan. She did not know why she was looking at Liu Changan. Then, she opened her mouth and pointed at herself, looking confused.
Third Madam no longer paid attention to her. Zhu Juntang liked to let her imagination run wild, but she was also easily led astray by others to the ends of the earth. If one obtained any clues from her, they would really be at a loss as to what to do. Should they treat it seriously, or should they just ignore it? It was a headache.
"I heard that when you came here, it was your great-grandfather who sent you here overnight?" The Third Madam asked Qin Yanan.
Didn't you already ask this question? Of course, it was not the first time that the Third Madam had come to Jun Sha to see Qin Yanan, nor was it the first time that she had chatted with Qin Yanan. Qin Yanan still nodded.
"You guys have fun. I'm going to Andorra and will leave tonight. I'll be going back first." The Third Madam looked at Liu Changan again. "Congratulations again, successor of socialism."
"Thank you." Liu Changan smiled.
