A group of people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The happiest among them is Chen Fan. His experience today will probably be remembered for a lifetime—
First of all, it was to dispel the idea of the little white female ghost wanting to marry him and avoid a **** plot of "the relationship between a human and a ghost is not over".
Secondly, I feel comforted when I see my good brother who has passed away and know that he is living in the underworld and is living a good life even if he becomes a ghost.
Again, he got a glimpse of a corner of the afterlife, understood part of the situation in the underworld, gained more understanding of the future and death, and became less afraid.
Finally, and most importantly, he helped his brother find a wife.
With the help of Pei Anzhu, the rest of the process proceeds step by step:
She opened the ghost gate, summoned the Yin Messenger, sent Song Kang and Bai Muyun back to the underworld, and entrusted the Yin Messenger to bring a message to Black and White Wuchang, giving them a chance to entrust their dreams.
As for the rest of the matter, she didn’t get too involved.
After the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Pei Anzhu and Shen Yueran left Chen Fan's house and prepared to go to a newly opened hot pot restaurant for dinner.
"I made an appointment with Xu Youyou and Su Xiaoruo. They just had nothing to do. When they heard that they were having dinner with you, they all clamored to come over." Shen Yueran said.
"Let's go, I'll treat you tonight." Pei Anzhu said with a smile.
They walked leisurely towards the newly opened hot pot restaurant. As for Feng Yiyi, who was following them, she was still stuck on the road and now she couldn't even return home.
Feng Yiyi was born into a wealthy family and had a good family background. From childhood to adulthood, everything went smoothly.
For the first time, she felt that she was so unlucky—
First I went out to follow Pei Anzhu, but a nail was stuck in the tire and the tire blew out.
Finally repaired the spare tire, and when he was about to move forward, he had already lost track of Pei Anzhu.
She looked for connections to find out Pei Anzhu's whereabouts, and hurried toward Tong'an District. However, a road sign fell down on the road and hit her car.
The bodyguard injured an arm in order to protect her and had to send her to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she met a patient with gastroenteritis. She had a bad stomach and vomited all over her body, which made her custom-made coat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars useless.
After she finished dealing with all the bad things that happened to her, Pei Anzhu disappeared again.
"Ahhhhhh-" Feng Yiyi was left with a helpless and furious roar, completely confused as to why this happened.
***
Pei Anzhu has long left these clowns behind.
She and Shen Yueran arrived at a hot pot restaurant. The name of this restaurant is "Guoquan Dingliu". It is said that it was invested by a celebrity and it tastes very good.
Not long after it opened, it is said that people line up to eat here every day, and the private rooms on the top floor can only be booked in advance through connections.
Of course, this kind of thing is not a problem for Shen Yueran, after all, she is the daughter of the Shen family.
When they arrived, Xu Youyou and Su Xiaoruo were already in the box.
"You are here!" Xu Youyou greeted them happily when she saw them, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. We looked at the menu and didn't know what to order. What do you want to eat?"
As he spoke, Xu Youyou handed over the menu.
Pei Anzhu doesn't attach much importance to food and drink. After all, she used to be fasting in the Cultivation Continent. After arriving in this world, she is not picky about what she eats.
So, the task of ordering food was left to Shen Yueran. She and Xu Youyou got together and studied the menu over and over. They wanted to eat this and that, but couldn't make up their mind.
While the two of them were ordering food in full swing, Su Xiaoruo quietly moved to Pei Anzhu's side and whispered:
“Master Pei, I don’t know if you are free. Come with me to meet someone.”
Pei Anzhu was stunned and asked in surprise:
“Didn’t you come to have hot pot with us today?”
"I'm here to eat hot pot, but I'm also entrusted by someone else." Su Xiaoruo said, "I heard Xu Youyou said that she wanted to see you tonight, so I came here shamelessly because I wanted to tell you in person."
“What’s going on?” Pei Anzhu asked. Su Xiaoruo leaned close to Pei Anzhu’s ear and whispered two words:
“Ji family.”
Pei Anzhu understood instantly—
Ji family, one of the wealthy families in Yuncheng, can also be regarded as a prestigious family. Just this morning, she indirectly interfered with the Ji family's affairs in the live broadcast room.
The hexagram results of Fang Yuwan, Ji Yunxiao, and Youni...
At that time, she had a hunch that this matter was not over yet. Sure enough, the Ji family came to her door before the day was over.
Even, Su Xiaoruo was invited to be the middleman.
Pei Anzhu has a very good relationship with this small group. They have been able to celebrate Xu Youyou's birthday together in the past. It is obvious that she is also a member of this small group.
She would not deny Su Xiaoruo's face.
While Shen Yueran and Xu Youyou were still ordering, Pei Anzhu asked:
“Tell me the specific situation, tell me who the person you want me to meet is, and what your relationship is with the Ji family. Tell me everything.”
“You can ask me for help, but I don’t accept deliberately withholding information.”
In Xuanmen, people attach great importance to cause and effect. Even if she does something without her knowledge, the cause and effect will still be attributed to her.
So, she needs to understand the whole situation and analyze the optimal solution.
Su Xiaoruo didn’t hide anything and told everything directly—
“The person who asked me to be the go-between to meet you is the eldest lady of the Ji family, Ji Yunyao. She is my cousin, my biological cousin.”
In the wealthy circle of Yuncheng, there are three surnames, four families and five households, and most of them are married to each other.
Using marriage to tie up interests, deepen cooperation, and expand territory is the most common method used by businessmen, so Su Xiaoruo’s aunt married into the Ji family.
The current leader of the Ji family is Ji Yuanfan, who is seventy-nine years old. He is the head of the Ji family who holds real power and is also the anchor of the Ji family.
Ji Yuanfan has three sons, namely Ji Lianjiang, the eldest, Ji Lianhe, the second son, and Ji Lianhai, the third son.
The heir should have been chosen among these three people.
I don’t know why, but none of these three sons seems to have the talent for business:
The boss has a mediocre level and can be a conservative king, but cannot forge ahead.
The second child is simply not interested and has never gotten married. He runs out to become a wandering explorer, often wandering in deep mountains, old forests, snowy mountains and deep valleys.
Lao San is very interested in doing business, but unfortunately he lacks some luck. The few cases he has handled are all bad, and the branches he has practiced in are all one after another.
Since this generation cannot do it, Ji Yuanfan puts all his hopes on the third generation of grandchildren.
Since the second child is not married, the only grandchildren are the eldest daughter, the eldest granddaughter Ji Yunyao, and the third son, the grandson Ji Yunxiao.
Su Xiaoruo’s relationship with Pei Anzhu’s science popularization family:
“My uncle is the eldest son of the Ji family. He and the third eldest son of the Ji family have been competing for the position of the next generation of heirs. Seeing that they themselves can no longer do it, they compete with each other for sons and daughters.”
“So, my cousin Ji Yunyao and Ji Yunxiao grew up comparing each other.”
"My cousin has been outstanding since she was a child. She is what others call the proud daughter of heaven. In terms of achievements, vision, and structure, she has surpassed Ji Yunxiao by a few blocks. She is basically the recognized next generation heir of the Ji family."
“Originally, more than three years ago, the old man of the Ji family planned to announce my cousin as the official heir at her twenty-fifth birthday party, but something strange happened.”
