Chapter 369 Looking for trouble
Chapter 369 Looking for trouble
The news that Su Ruolan had returned to the Su Mansion quickly spread throughout the Su family, and the third generation of the Leng family also received the news.
Everyone only knows that Su Ruolan left home five years ago to learn skills from a master, but few people know that she ran away from home because she could not accept the marriage arranged by her family.
But now that everyone is back, no one will care about this issue.
The first thing Su Ruolan did when she returned home was to be taken by her parents to the room of old man Su Xinghe in the inner hall to pay her respects to the old man.
Because Leng Ye often interacts with Su Zhicheng on weekdays, he is considered to be the one that Su Zhicheng is more optimistic about among the five third-generation members of the Leng family.
So when Su Zhicheng learned that his daughter would be returning on the teleportation array, he revealed the news to Leng Ye in advance.
This is also the reason why Leng Ye appeared outside the teleportation hall with Su Ruolan's parents to pick her up.
But who would have thought that Leng Ye saw Su Ruolan and Lu Chen hugging each other. Suddenly Leng Ye felt like he was being cheated on, so he looked at Lu Chen with hostility.
In the inner hall of the Su family, old man Su Xinghe sat in the first seat in the middle of the hall, and next to him sat a kind-looking, dignified and elegant old lady, side by side with Su Xinghe.
Sitting side by side at the first left are the eldest brother Su Zhiguo, his wife Leng Yue'e, and their son Su Junmin.
Sitting side by side at the first right seat are the second son Su Zhizhou, his wife Leng Yuexin, and their daughter Su Jingrou.
These people obviously knew in advance that Su Ruolan had returned from her studies today, and according to the rules of the Su family, Su Ruolan had to serve tea to all the elders.
Since Lu Chen has already agreed to help Sister Su, he is equivalent to Su Ruolan's boyfriend.
Since it was his first visit, he naturally followed Su Ruolan to the inner hall to meet the elders. After all, he had to do the whole show.
Putting aside Leng Ye's identity as the third generation of the Leng family, as one of Su Ruolan's proposers, he also followed her happily, and Su Zhicheng had no objection.
"Father! Mother! Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law..."
After Lu Chen and his group arrived at the inner hall, Su Zhicheng took the lead in bowing to everyone sitting in the inner hall, looking very respectful.
Everyone recognized Leng Ye's identity, so they all smiled and nodded to greet him.
When everyone saw a stranger like Lu Chen, they all showed puzzled expressions and wondered about the relationship between Lu Chen and Su Ruolan.
"Hehehe... I'm glad you're back... I'm glad you're back, everyone, please sit down!"
After seeing Su Ruolan, the old man Su Xinghe smiled with satisfaction and told everyone to sit down first.
Su Zhiguo and others also came one after another and exchanged greetings with Su Zhicheng and his wife.
He also praised Su Ruolan for becoming more and more beautiful.
"Hehehe... Sister Ruolan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more and more beautiful. I heard that you found a powerful master. You must have learned a lot of powerful spells in the past five years!
And this young man is handsome, could he be your lover?"
After Su Ruolan and others sat down one after another, Su Jingrou, the daughter of the second son Su Zhizhou, took Su Ruolan's hand and asked affectionately.
After saying that, she looked at Lu Chen meaningfully, so that Lu Chen could only smile at her awkwardly.
"Hehehe... I'm sorry to have made you laugh, this is Lu Chen, exactly the person I like."
Su Ruolan glanced at Lu Chen shyly and said with a smile.
The two had a very good relationship since childhood, and they talked about everything when they grew up, so Su Ruolan did not hide anything.
At the same time, it also lets everyone know the relationship between Lu Chen and herself. I believe that with the cultivation level of the people present, they can naturally hear their conversation.
Sure enough, old man Su Xinghe's expression changed slightly after hearing this, because Su Ruolan's actions were undoubtedly a blatant defiance of his original decision.
The Su family and the Leng family have been friends for generations, and they have helped each other in business, so their relationship is close. The marriage between the two families to strengthen the relationship is what Su Xinghe wants to see most.
But Su Ruolan brought back a strange boy. With Su Xinghe's cultivation in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul,
Naturally, it was clear at a glance that Lu Chen was only at the great perfection of the fusion stage, and from his appearance, Lu Chen did not look like a person of status or background.
Therefore, old man Su Xinghe now looks at Lu Chen with disgust.
Su Ruolan's grandmother still maintained her kind smile.
The eldest brother Su Zhiguo and the second brother Su Zhizhou looked at Lu Chen in surprise when they heard this.
They knew that Su Ruolan had a martial arts competition with the third generation of the Leng family to decide on a son-in-law, and the appearance of Lu Chen at this time was self-evident.
But their wives, Leng Yue'e and Leng Yuexin, were shocked when they heard Su Ruolan admit that Lu Chen was the man she loved.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes became unfriendly when she looked at Lu Chen. After all, they were both from the Leng family, so of course they hoped that Su Ruolan would marry the third generation of the Leng family.
Leng Ye was immediately furious after hearing this. In his eyes, Lu Chen was nothing but a clown.
Now that such a small person dared to touch his future wife, how could he not be angry.
If looks could kill, Lu Chen would have died several times.
Lu Chen took in everyone's gazes. He sneered in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface, with a faint smile on his lips.
At this time, a female cultivator dressed in a maid's clothes walked quietly into the inner hall, carrying a tray with a white jade teapot and several white jade cups on it.
Seeing this, Su Ruolan stood up and walked to old man Su Xinghe and grandmother Zhou.
She took the cup of spiritual tea handed over by the maid, presented it with both hands, nodded and said respectfully:
"Your granddaughter Su Ruolan offers tea to Grandpa, wishing him good health and longevity, and hope he can become an immortal soon."
"Well! Ruolan, you are so thoughtful!" Old man Su Xinghe nodded lightly and said "well" without showing any emotion when he heard the words.
Then he raised his hand, and the spiritual tea in Su Ruolan's hand automatically flew into his hand.
Afterwards, Su Ruolan offered tea to her grandmother Zhou, her eldest uncle Su Zhiguo and his wife, and her second uncle Su Zhizhou and his wife in turn.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, looked very familiar and sat at the very end, hoping that this complicated family etiquette would end soon.
But after Su Ruolan served the tea, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded.
"Ruolan! I'm not saying anything to you, you haven't been home for five years, why did you bring some dubious people to our Su family when you came back?
You should know that our Su family is a well-known and prestigious family in Taibai City.
If this gets out, it will damage the reputation of our Su family, but it will ruin your reputation, which will be a big deal."
The person who spoke was Leng Yue'e, the wife of the eldest brother Su Zhiguo. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Chen with disdain and a meaningful look.
Lu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking:
"You damn bitch, I didn't provoke you, but you're just looking for trouble like a rabbit chasing an eagle."
Su Ruolan's smile suddenly froze when she heard this, but she still smiled and replied:
"Second Mother, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. Lu Chen is the man I admire, and he will participate in the martial arts competition proposed by grandfather to choose a son-in-law for me. Please speak respectfully."
Su Ruolan's temper is that if you give me an inch, I will give you a yard. When she heard Er Niang say this to Lu Chen, she immediately retorted rudely.
Su Ruolan's attitude made Lu Chen feel a little better. He thought: It's not in vain for me to help her do this thankless task.
"Ruolan, don't be rude!" Su Zhicheng scolded in a low voice when he saw Su Ruolan's unfriendly tone.
Although Leng Yue'e was angry when she heard this, she concealed it very well and pretended to be serious and for the good of Su Ruolan. She smiled and said:
"Third brother! You must keep your eyes open and don't let Ruolan be schemed by villains and suffer losses.
Leng Ye! I heard that you recently found a famous alchemist and brought some high-quality elixirs to honor grandma.
You might as well take it out now, so that mother can get rid of the pain as soon as possible."
Leng Ye is Leng Yue'e's nephew. They had agreed before that after he brought Su Ruolan back,
He asked Leng Yue'e to speak well of him so that he could offer the elixir. This would not only win the favor of his grandmother, but also allow him to show off in front of Su Ruolan.
Leng Ye stood up with a look of joy on his face after hearing this………………………………………………
