Su Hang City, Gu family's residence.
Li Xiao Xue elegantly sat in front of Gu Qing Han and got straight to the point, "Aunty Gu, I'm sorry to disturb you when you're so busy. I have something very important that I want to hear your opinion on … hmm, it's like this: I'm preparing to buy the Cosmos Corporation. "
Speaking to there, Li Xiao Xue looked at Gu Qing Han, wanting to see how she would react to this piece of world-shaking news. However, what surprised her was that even though Gu Qing Han was looking at her, her gaze was completely unfocused. She did not react to Li Xiao Xue's words, as if she had lost her soul.
"Aunty Gu?" Li Xiao Xue called out, feeling quite surprised. With Gu Qing Han's personality, she would never allow herself to get distracted while doing something, especially when she was receiving guests.
"Eh?" Gu Qing Han came back to her senses and apologetically smiled at Li Xiao Xue, "I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted. What did you just say?"
Li Xiao Xue did not repeat what she had just said, and she asked worriedly, "Aunty Gu, we've known each other for so many years, but it's the first time I've seen you so distracted. Is there something on your mind? If it's convenient, you can tell me; perhaps I can help Aunty Gu. "
In actuality, with Li Xiao Xue's intelligence and understanding of Gu Qing Han, how could she not guess that Gu Qing Han would lose her composure like this because of one person … Ling Chen!
"I …" A trace of sadness appeared in Gu Qing Han's eyes. She slowly got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring out. After a while, she softly said, "Tomorrow … is his 24th birthday."
"Eh?" Li Xiao Xue felt quite surprised and also stood up.
Li Xiao Xue did not know when Ling Chen's birthday was. She had casually asked Ling Chen about it before, but Ling Chen had only said that he could not remember when it was. Yun Meng Xin, Xiao Qi, and Su 'Er did not know either. Perhaps the only ones who knew were Xuanyuan Dia Wu and Ling Shui Ruo.
However, even if everyone in the world forgot his birthday, Gu Qing Han, who was standing in front of him, could not. Even though she thought he had been dead for thirteen years.
"Can you help me give him a birthday wish … and a present?" Gu Qing Han said softly as she looked out the window.
Based on Li Xiao Xue's understanding of Ling Chen, he wouldn't care about things like birthdays. However, just because he didn't care, that didn't mean others wouldn't care, especially Gu Qing Han. Li Xiao Xue's eyes flickered and she suddenly smiled. "Aunty Gu, I only found out about Ling Chen's birthday today. Speaking of which, it seems like I should prepare a big birthday gift for him. After all, because of him, our Li family is about to step onto a peak that we didn't even dare to think about in the past … However, I can't deliver a gift for Aunty Gu. "
Gu Qing Han's gaze dimmed and she bitterly shook her head. "… It's okay. I know that it's not the right time for him yet. I shouldn't be selfish and disturb him. "
"No, that's not what I meant." Li Xiao Xue shook her head and came to Gu Qing Han's side as she smiled. "On the contrary, I feel like this is the right time. The reason I can't do it for Aunty Gu is because … it's best if Aunty Gu personally delivers it to him. "
Gu Qing Han felt quite startled, and her eyes flashed with excitement. "Me … personally? But … But … "
"Ling Chen is avoiding it, not because he's rejecting it, but because he needs some time to accept it. After all, for someone who has thought that his mother had died since he was young, and for someone who has never felt the love of a mother, to suddenly accept a mother is simply too difficult. This is even more so for someone like Ling Chen, who has experienced countless things. However, although his style of doing things is unyielding and vengeful, he is definitely not a heartless person. On the contrary, he is a person who values friendship. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who would pledge their lives to follow him. "Li Xiao Xue smiled and continued with some emotion," There wouldn't be so many girls who would be deeply attracted to him and unable to extricate themselves. "
"Now that so much time has passed, it's enough for him to recover. Isn't tomorrow a perfect opportunity? Moreover, perhaps he has already accepted you in his heart and is still thinking about you. Last time, he asked me to give you that bottle of medicine; isn't that the best proof? " As she spoke, Li Xiao Xue's gaze fell on the small glass bottle on Gu Qing Han's desk … every single item here, even the smallest one, was worth a fortune. However, this ordinary-looking glass bottle was placed in the most eye-catching position on the desk. If the owner of the desk looked up, they would be able to see it immediately.
"With Ling Chen's stubborn personality, even if he has already accepted you and wants to see you, he definitely won't be able to bring himself to do it. Is Aunty Gu not willing? "
Gu Qing Han's gaze continuously trembled. Hearing Li Xiao Xue's final words, she lightly closed her eyes and slowly raised her hands, placing them in front of her chest as if she was praying …
September 18th, 3101, morning.
This should have been an ordinary day, but because of the Li family financial group's announcement, the entire world was sent into an uproar.
The Li family financial group's announcement was that they were going to acquire the Cosmos Corporation! This included all of their subsidiaries and businesses. Following this, the Cosmos Corporation's President and CEO Smith personally announced that he would fully cooperate with the Cosmos Corporation to merge with the Li family financial group. He emphasized that Mystic Moon's operations would not be affected, and that the Cosmos Corporation would be able to develop better under the Li family financial group.
As for the reason, neither side said anything. This was because Li Xiao Xue's way of dealing with this was … there was no need for her to make up a reason and allow the outside world to guess as much as they wanted. The more ridiculous the better. As for any resistance … especially from the American government, Li Xiao Xue did not take it to heart at all. This was because with the Li family financial group's fame, she was confident that she would be able to suppress all resistance.
Bamboo Sea Wonderland.
In the morning, Ling Chen did not enter the game. Right now, the Forgotten Continent was in chaos, and he did not have much time to think about finding the Sun God Orb. After breakfast, he entered the bamboo forest alone. He ran around the bamboo forest at high speed for a dozen laps and recovered his reflexes by dodging the bamboo stems. When he returned to the central area, he was already drenched in sweat. Without thinking, he jumped into the swimming pool, placed his hands on the edge of the pool, and silently closed his eyes.
Qi Yue …
Ye Yue …
Yue …
The Shura that the King hoped to create …
… …
"Whew …" Ling Chen deeply breathed out as he softly muttered, "If you're the Yue that the Mad Scientist spoke of … why don't you make me feel any danger … if you're not … just who are you … and what is your true goal …"
"Big brother!!"
Tian Tian's clear voice sounded out in Ling Chen's ears. Ling Chen turned and saw Tian Tian running over in her slippers, holding her pink handphone in her hands.
"So big brother's here." Tian Tian came to the pool and squatted down as she looked at Ling Chen with a mysterious smile. "Big sister Xiao Xue just called and said that she'll be here with big sister Bing Yao in 10 minutes. She'll also be bringing a mysterious guest."
"A mysterious guest?" Ling Chen thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I got it. Looks like I need to go and change my clothes. "
After speaking, Ling Chen leapt out of the pool, causing the water droplets to fall on Tian Tian. Tian Tian cried out as she frantically patted her wet clothes, puffing her cheeks as she angrily said, "Big brother … you definitely did it on purpose!"
"Heheh, of course I did it on purpose." Ling Chen evilly laughed. "Who told Tian Tian to drool all over my face last night? When I woke up in the middle of the night, I thought that our house had been flooded, hahahaha!"
Tian Tian's face became slightly red, and she vigorously stomped her foot as she chased after Ling Chen. "Don't run … I'm going to tell big sister and the others that you bullied me again."
2 figures, one big and one small, rushed into the room one after the other, and following this, crackling sounds could be heard. By the time Tian Tian walked out, she had changed into an even prettier, colourful dress, and she had a pleased look on her face. As soon as she walked out, she saw Shadissika and hurriedly walked over. She gave her a mysterious look as she asked, "Sha Sha, are you ready?"
"Hehe, I prepared yesterday. Tian Tian and I will definitely be able to cooperate perfectly." Shadissika shook her body as she gave a mysterious smile.
"Shh, don't let big brother hear you." Tian Tian put a finger to her lips as she looked behind her worriedly. She then giggled as she said, "Hurry and tell the big sisters to get ready. Big sister Xiao Xue just called, and she'll be here soon."
"Mm, I got it!"
The two girls looked at each other and smiled. Then, they ran away with happy smiles on their faces.
… …
In an unknown world, in an unknown dark corner.
"Your majesty, we've found the person who killed the Mad Scientist. It's a human called 'Ling Tian'. "
"Ling Tian? Hmph, a mere human dares to give himself such an arrogant name? "
"This human called Ling Tian isn't someone from the Mystic Moon planet, and he's from Earth. It seems that because of the Mad Scientist's Mystic Moon Plan, he can freely enter and leave the Mystic Moon planet. However, his reputation in the Mystic Moon planet is extremely high, and he seems to be the most powerful person on that planet. "
"Hmph, to be able to kill the Mad Scientist, his strength shouldn't be too bad. Did you deal with him? "
"I didn't. However, it's not that I wasn't a match for him, but rather that I didn't attack him. This is because when I found him, I smelled the Godchild's aura on him … "
"What?!!!"
"It's absolutely true! The Godchild is more important than the heavens, and I definitely wouldn't be wrong! In order to not alert him, I didn't do anything to that person called Ling Tian, and I instead immediately rushed back … I'm guessing that the Godchild is either on the Mystic Moon planet or on Earth! "
"Rahu, immediately lock onto Earth's position as soon as possible and head to Earth. If you find the Godchild on Earth, immediately send a message to me."
"What about you, Your majesty?"
"I'll personally go to the Mystic Moon planet!"
