Chapter 3008 Shen Tianyu 408

Bai Hanzhu stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "I have no problem with him for now."

Mother Jing added, "Please don't be so polite. Our family sincerely wants to marry Xiaoxue. Please feel free to ask anything. We're not afraid to ask, we're just afraid you won't want Ahong."

Bai Hanzhu liked her humble attitude.

Previously, the Gu family was large and powerful, and there were reasons for this, so the Bai family instinctively felt pressured.

Master Mao Jun is a top master in China, and his status in Taoism is comparable to that of the Gu family in the business world.

However, the Jing couple were low-key and humble, without any airs.

He would test Jing Hong further, but Jing's parents were more than happy for the two to get married on the spot.

Jing's mother took out a bank card from her pocket, took Bai Chenxue's hand, put it in her hand, and said with a smile, "This is the money we've given you and Ahong to buy a house. There will be some left over after the purchase, which you can use for renovations. The property deed will be in both your names. Don't think I'm being materialistic; food, clothing, housing, and transportation are very practical things."

Bai Chenxue was shocked!

So fast?

Even faster than Jing Hong!

Bai Chenxue declined, saying, "Auntie, this is too fast."

Jing's mother said with a smile, "It's not going to be long, Ah Hong has waited for you for a full thirty years."

It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it's very pleasant to listen to.

Bai Chenxue finally understood why Jing Hong, a martial arts practitioner and Taoist cultivator, was so eloquent, so expressive, and so adept at setting traps—it all came from his mother's genes.

Jing's father was a man of few words.

He simply smiled throughout, pouring tea for everyone.

But Bai Chenxue had heard Jing Hong mention that the three songs he sang to her a few days ago were his father's go-to songs for his mother, so he must be a romantic man at heart.

Her mother died when she was young, and her father was often away from home to manage the family business.

Perhaps only a loving family could raise someone like Jing Hong, who is both calm and cheerful, humorous and cunning, who fights fiercely for someone he likes, expresses his feelings passionately, and tries every means to win over someone he sets his sights on.

But she would only bury it deep in her heart.

It's somewhat like an emotionally avoidant personality.

Then, Jing's mother took out a bulging red envelope from behind her back and handed it to her, saying, "This is a gift that I prepared for you a long time ago. Here, take it."

Bai Chenxue's hands couldn't hold it all.

She looked at Jing Hong with embarrassment.

Jing Hong peeled a grape and put it in her mouth. "My mom is your mom. Take whatever our mom gives you. Don't be shy with your own mom."

With a grape in her mouth, Bai Chenxue stared in disbelief!

The agreement was that I was just coming to meet his parents.

How come he gave money for the wedding house and a gift for meeting her, and in the blink of an eye, his mother became her mother?

Bai Chenxue felt that she was sinking deeper and deeper into the pit.

She cast a pleading look at her grandfather, hoping he could help her out of this predicament, because her mother was holding onto the bank card and red envelope in her hand, preventing her from letting go.

Who knew that Grandpa would also betray us?

Bai Hanzhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Maoshan is not far from Suzhou, it only takes two hours to drive there. Grandpa is getting old, and your dad is always busy outside, so I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Ahong's parents to take care of you in the future. Didn't you always ask for a mother when you were little? Now you can finally have a mother. I don't want anything else, I just hope that Ahong's family will treat you like their own child."

Jing's mother hurriedly agreed.

Bai Chenxue was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

Grandpa just pushed her out like that?

Hearing Bai Hanzhu say again, "Since Ahong's parents are sincerely giving you money to buy a house, you should take it. Grandpa will take care of the decoration and furniture. Consider it your dowry."

Bai Chenxue stared into her grandfather's eyes.

He's always been steady and conservative in his actions, what's wrong with him today?

Is it so radical?

Bai Hanzhu looked at Jing's father, "Is your father free today? Could we arrange a meeting with him?"

Jing's father hurriedly replied, "My father is on his way here and should arrive soon."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a deep, slightly weathered voice came from outside the door, “Brothers Bai, Mr. Mao was delayed by some business and is late. Please forgive him!”

The voice sounded incredibly powerful, making Bai Hanzhu's eardrums buzz.

He stood up and was about to take a step when a figure appeared at the doorway, dressed in a gray-white Taoist robe, with his hair tied in a Tai Chi bun, his back straight, and his eyes bright and piercing.

It's obvious without even guessing that it's Mr. Mao.

Judging by their ages, they should be about the same age.

But Master Mao had rosy lips and white teeth, very few wrinkles on his face, and his vigorous and energetic demeanor was probably better than that of a twenty-year-old.

Master Mao strode up to Bai Hanzhu, warmly grasped his hands, and laughed loudly, "My dear in-law, you are indeed from a scholarly family, and your refined manners are truly exceptional. Seeing you in person is far better than hearing about you."

Bai Hanzhu also grasped his hands with both of them, saying, "I have long heard of the great name of Master Mao Jun, and it is indeed astounding. Meeting you today, I can see that your aura is truly amazing."

The two sat down with smiles, and then engaged in another round of high-EQ compliments.

Bai Chenxue was already numb.

It turns out everyone has started forming family bonds and is now practically one family, except for her, who's still outside the play.

While she was in a daze, Jing Hong took the red envelope and bank card from her hand and stuffed them into her bag.

He said to her, "Let them talk, I'll take you out for a walk."

It was springtime, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, making it very comfortable.

Bai Chenxue said something to Jing's mother, then got up and walked out with Jing Hong.

Jing Hong led her outside the courtyard.

This valley is naturally sheltered from the wind and is even warmer than outside. The bamboo grows lush and green, and there are more flowers blooming than outside, especially orchids, which are everywhere, including some rare and precious varieties.

Bai Chenxue lowered her head and gazed at those precious orchids.

She had tried to grow several of the same variety, but despite her pampering and careful tending, they still died.

Yet the same orchids, planted casually in the open air, grow exceptionally well.

Jing Hong said, "The spiritual energy here is abundant, and any kind of flower can survive."

Bai Chenxue pondered for a moment, "If I stay here for a while, will my health improve?"

Jing Hong reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I am your spirit. As long as you are by my side, you will be more beautiful than this orchid."

Bai Chenxue was shy and struggled, saying, "Don't touch me."

Jing Hong released her.

I wasn't just listening to her; I was holding her like this, and it felt completely different from when I was holding her on the way up the mountain.

He carried her up the mountain, with Bai Hanzhu in his other arm as well, so he dared not be distracted.

Holding her alone right now, his heart was beating much faster than usual, and he had a strange feeling, like he had been struck by lightning.

He looked down at her.

I could only think that her skin was as white as snow, her delicate oval face was pitiful to look at, her eyes were clear as pearls, her slender figure was graceful and charming, and even her long and sparse eyelashes were particularly moving.

He couldn't help but say, "Xuexue, you are so beautiful."

Bai Chenxue thought he was being incredibly cheesy.

She turned and left.

Jing Hong caught up with her and extended his hand to her, "Hold my hand, don't you know you should keep your valuables with you at all times?"

Bai Chenxue was caught between laughter and tears.

Is this man being affectionate?

It was so unique.

She didn't move.

Jing Hong forcibly put his hand into hers.

Feeling uncomfortable, Bai Chenxue said, "Aren't there many of your senior and junior brothers on this mountain? I'll feel embarrassed if they see me."

Jing Hong gripped her hand tightly in return, "It's alright, let them be envious!"

He suddenly bent down and picked her up.

Before she could react, he had already grabbed her and leaped upwards.

Having had experience before, Bai Chenxue wasn't as nervous as before, and she closed her eyes.

The wind was howling, and this flight was longer than before.

Upon landing, Bai Chenxue opened her eyes and found herself in a solemn and majestic Taoist temple, which was extremely large.

He was surrounded by a group of Taoist priests with their hair tied up in green robes.

Upon seeing Jing Hong, they all exclaimed, "Second Senior Brother!"

At the same time, they all looked at Bai Chenxue with gossipy smiles, because Jing Hong was the one in the entire sect who had the hardest time finding a wife.

Jing Hong grasped Bai Chenxue's hand and introduced her to everyone: "This is my girlfriend, your future sister-in-law."

He sounded very proud.

Everyone cheered loudly in unison, "Hello, Second Sister-in-law!"

Bai Chenxue was stunned, feeling as if she had been tricked by Jing Hong and had become his sister-in-law.

Even riding the Heavenly Ladder wouldn't be this fast, right?
