After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 101 Be Alone

“Qian Min is doing his homework and didn’t come out.” He Yanfeng said lightly: “We went out for a walk and saw your house occupied, so we came to visit.”

“Oh, I see.” Yang Si didn’t notice anything strange, and she smiled softly, her slightly round face from pregnancy looking very gentle: “Our two families really have an affinity. Our children play well together, and now we are even neighbors.”

Yang Yun’s eyes fell on Yang Si’s baby bump, paused for a moment, and asked: “You are now seven months old, how do you feel?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“They’re a bit fussy.” Yang Si lowered her eyes and rubbed her tummy, saying with a smile: “When I was pregnant with Chen Chen he was very quiet. This child is not like their older brother. I wonder if they will be a little troublemaker when they come out.”

“Little troublemakers are also fine.” Jiang Zhuo washed the fruit, put it on the table, and smiled at He Yanfeng and his wife: “Have some fruit, little troublemakers brings cheer and liveliness.”

“That’s right.” Yang Si took Jiang Chen’s hand and said with a smile, “The elder son is mature and sensible, and the younger daughter is fussy. With one son and one daughter, all my wishes are fulfilled.”

He Yanfeng held Yang Yun’s hand, squeezed it calmly, and said with a smile, “Already know it’s a daughter?”

“We don’t know.” Yang Si smiled and shook her head: “It’s just that we already have Chen Chen, so we want to have a daughter even more, and Chen Chen has always wanted to have a younger sister.”

“A boy is not bad either.” Jiang Zhuo touched Yang Si’s belly reassuringly, and said to her, “What if it will be a boy? Don’t say that in front of the child.”

Yang Si couldn’t help laughing: “They’re still in my stomach, what can they hear?”

“This is prenatal education.” Jiang Zhuo insisted on this very much, and took Jiang Chen’s hand from the other side of Yang Si, “Come on son, tell your brother or sister quickly, you like both boys and girls.”

Jiang Chen had no choice but to be pulled by Jiang Zhuo and put his hand on Yang Si’s belly. Suddenly he felt a light kick. His eyes lit up and he touched it lightly. Yang Si smiled and said, “Every time you touch Mom’s belly, it’s like she can feel you, it seems that she really likes her older brother.”

“Nothing happens every time I touch.” Jiang Zhuo said jealously, “Don’t you like Dad?”

“They’re moving!” Yang Si turned to look at Jiang Zhuo: “Did you feel it?”

“I feel it.” Jiang Zhuo laughed immediately, “It seems that they like Dad too.”

The hands of the family of three were laid together touching their future family member, and their eyes were full of soft smiles looking forward to a new life. Yang Yun hid the sadness in her eyes, and grabbed He Yanfeng’s hand tightly.

After going back, Yang Yun was frequently absent-minded, and He Yanfeng knew the reason, so he let her be alone.

There were a few chairs and a tea table by the hot spring in the courtyard. Yang Yun looked in one direction, lost in thought. The tea on the little stove was boiling and the smoke was rising, but she didn’t notice at all.

He Qianjian’s eyes flickered slightly. He walked up to Yang Yun and sat down, poured a some tea into a teacup, and put it in Yang Yun’s hand: “Mom, drink some tea.”

Yang Yun came back to her senses and saw a trace of disappointment in He Qianjian’s eyes. She forced a smile and said, “I don’t really want to drink now, you can drink it yourself.”

“Are you unhappy?” He Qianjian took a sip of tea himself, and said in a concerned tone, “I saw that after you came back in the morning, you seemed to be in a not so good mood.”

Yang Yun looked away and smiled: “Mom is not unhappy, but you, how are you feeling these days?”

He Qianjian squeezed the teacup tightly, lowered his head to conceal it, and said with a wry smile: “I also don’t know, I’m at a loss, I don’t know what to do, I never thought that this kind of thing would happen.”

Yang Yun pursed her lips and raised her hand to touch his head, but she stopped in mid-air for some reason. She withdrew her hand and said, “It’s normal to have a hard time accepting this after just learning about it, but after a while it’s enough to accept it slowly.”

“Mom.” He Qianjian raised his head: “Can I not go back to the Jiang’s? I don’t know Jiang Chen’s parents at all, and I have never met them. I only know that you and Dad are my parents. I just want to recognize you, don’t let me go back to the Jiang’s, okay?”

Yang Yun’s heart seemed to be tugged by something, and the smile that barely managed to be kept on her face faded.

If He Qianjian had always thought this way and didn’t want to go back to the Jiang’s at all, then what about Jiang Chen? Did it mean that he didn’t want to go back to the He family at all, that was why he always thinking about the Jiang couple, that was why he wanted to delay telling them and the others the truth, and that was why he treated the Jiang couple completely differently from the way he treated her and He Yanfeng.

Yang Yun was in a daze and lost in unknown thoughts. He Qianjian frowned, impatience and anxiety appeared in his eyes, which changed into worry before Yang Yun looked over, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking?”

“It’s nothing.” Yang Yun looked at He Qianjian flatly, the always gentle smile on her face was gone, and her voice seemed to be a little colder: “Qian Jian, you and Chen Chen’s identities have been misplaced for eighteen years. Both of us have missed a lot in the past eighteen years. Not only do I want to make it up for Chen Chen, but I also imagine that your biological parents will also want to make it up to you after learning of your identity. I know it may be difficult for you now to accept this fact, but I hope you will think about your biological parents and give them a chance to make it up to you.”

“But in my heart, you and Dad are my biological parents.” He Qianjian squatted down, lay his head on Yang Yun’s lap, and looked up at her: “Mom, I just want to be the son of you and Dad, I don’t want to be the son of the Jiang family.”

Yang Yun lowered her eyes, and the image of He Qianjian in front of her now seemed to coincide with the image of Jiang Chen gently stroking Yang Si’s belly with a smile. She pursed her lips, and gently pushed He Qianjian’s hand away: “Qian Jian, this is impossible to change, you and Chen Chen must return to your original position, your father and grandfather are right, you are already an adult, it will be a matter of time before you leave home, so just think of it as leaving home early.”

“But…..”

“Can you let Mom be alone for a while?” Yang Yun gently rubbed He Qianjian’s head: “Mom really wants to be alone for a while now.”

He Qianjian swallowed the words that came to his lips, lowered his eyes to hide the gloom in his eyes, nodded and got up and said, “Then I’ll go for a walk, be careful not to catch a cold.”

Yang Yun’s heart warmed, and she smiled and said, “You also need to add another layer of clothes before going out. Although it’s warmer here than at home, it’s easy to catch a cold if you don’t pay attention.”

“I know.”

After walking out of the courtyard, He Qianjian’s obedient smile disappeared instantly. He grabbed the door frame and lowered his face. Looking around at the rustic rural buildings, his expression became even uglier.

“Are you the second child of the He family?” A passing village woman saw He Qianjian and pointed in a direction with a smile: “Your brother and younger siblings have all gone to play there, are you going to find them?”

He Qianjian adjusted his expression, his n was still a little ugly, but in front of a village woman, he didn’t bother to pretend, “I’m not.”

“You’re not?” The village woman saw that his face was not very good, and said in a very friendly manner: “Would you like to go to auntie’s house? There are many delicious foods at auntie’s house. You children from the city should have never eaten it before. The child about your age in Xiao Jiang’s house in front likes to eat the frozen sticky bean buns from auntie’s house, so why don’t you try some too?”

Originally, He Qianjian wanted to refuse after hearing the first part, but after hearing that Jiang Chen liked to eat it, he agreed.

The village woman was warm and generous. After leading He Qianjian in, she took a large bowl and filled it with frozen sticky bean buns. When she handed it to him, she smiled and said, “Just take this bowl home, and just bring it back to auntie’s house after you’re done.”

He Qianjian looked at the chipped and yellowish bowl in his hand, curled his hands in disgust, and finally took it.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” The village woman waved her hand: “You children are just too polite, now go and play.”

He Qianjian came out of the village woman’s house with the bowl in his hand, picked up a piece casually and took a bite, but unexpectedly knocked his tooth. He spat, covered his mouth and threw the sticky bean bun in his hand.

“You’re wasting food.”

A child with a runny nose came out from some corner, pointed at He Qianjian, but looked at the sticky bean bun in the grass.

He Qianjian glanced over the child’s dirty clothes, turned around and was about to leave.

“You can’t go, you threw out the food, you can’t throw out food.” The little boy grabbed He Qianjian’s shirt and handed the sticky bean bun he picked up to He Qianjian: “This is yours.”

“What’s it to you?” He Qianjian pulled away the hem of his shirt: “Go away and mind your own business.”

The little boy grabbed He Qianjian again: “Don’t leave.”

He Qianjian’s face darkened: “Don’t think I don’t hit children.”

The little boy shrank his neck, but did not let go of his hand.

He Qianjian stared at the little boy for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed inexplicably, and raised the bowl in his hand: “Want this?”

The little boy sniffed and nodded honestly.

“You can have it if you want.” He Qianjian picked up a sticky bean bun that was frozen hard, and tossed it up and down before saying to the little boy, “Stand in front.”

The little boy obediently walked a few steps, “A little further ahead.”

“Okay, stop.” He Qianjian smiled, shaking the sticky bean bun in his hand and said, “Just stand there, I’ll throw it over, and it will be yours if you catch it.”

“Really?” The little boy’s eyes lit up.

“Of course.”

The little boy held out his hand and struck a catcher’s pose.

He Qianjian smiled, and casually threw the sticky bean bun forward. The sticky bean bun fell into the soil two meters away from the little boy.

The little boy looked at the sticky bean bun in the mud with pity, then turned his head to look at He Qianjian again, and said with a pursed mouth, “You didn’t throw it correctly, it fell to the ground.”

He Qianjian smiled: “Then go pick it up.”

The little boy shook his head: “It’s in the mud, it’s too dirty to eat.”

He Qianjian didn’t expect a rural kid to be so particular. He rolled his eyes and laughed again: “I’m throwing it over, you catch it.”

The little boy stared at the sticky bean bun in He Qianjian’s hand, and nodded.

The smile on the corner of He Qianjian’s mouth deepened, and he threw the frozen sticky bean bun.

Seeing the sticky bean bun flying towards him, the little boy’s eyes brightened and he went to catch it, but cried out when it hit him, his eyes turning red instantly.

He Qianjian smiled maliciously, “Continue.”

One after another, the sticky bean buns hit the little boy. The little boy went from trying to catch it to dodging it, and finally squatted down and hugged his head in pain.

After He Qianjian threw out all the sticky bean buns in the bowl, he felt his bad mood fade away. He glanced at the child squatting on the street, and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly there was an angry shout, “What are you doing!”

He Qianjian paused, looked left and right but saw no one, but recalling that the speaker had a standard Yan City accent, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, and he lowered his head and hurried away.

Yang Si supported her belly and walked quickly to the little boy. She looked in the direction where the young man had just disappeared, lowered her head and said softly, “Little friend, stand up first and let auntie see if you are injured.”

The little boy had a red nose and a red spot on his forehead, but he didn’t cry. He let go of the hand holding his head, looked at the direction He Qianjian was leaving, heaved a sigh of relief and pouted aggrievedly: “Wait till I go back and tell my brother that someone hit me.”

Seeing that the little boy was not seriously injured, Yang Si breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing his words, she was both amused and distressed: “Where is your home, tell auntie, and auntie will walk you back.”

“It’s right in front.” The little boy stretched out a finger and pointed, taking Yang Si’s hand familiarly: “My brother and father and grandfather are also in front.”

“Then auntie will take you home.” Yang Si’s heart softened. She looked at the little boy’s face carefully, and saw that besides the red forehead, the lower part of his cheek was also red. She frowned, and scolded that young man in her heart, saying with distress, “Does it hurt?”

“It hurts.” The little boy pursed his mouth, “But it’s okay, it only hurts a little.”

Yang Si held his hand while walking and told him: “Go back and ask your parents to apply some medicine for you, and it’s better that you don’t come out alone in the future, you have to let brother accompany you, you understand?”

The little boy blinked: “We don’t have medicine at home.”

“How can there be no medicine in your house?” Yang Si smiled and said, “You tell your parents and they will apply medicine for you.”

“I don’t have a mother.” The little boy said, “My brother said our mother is dead.”

Yang Si was stunned, and stopped: “Then let’s go to auntie’s house first, and auntie will apply medicine to you before sending you back.”

The little boy was not at all wary of strangers: “Okay.”

When seeing Yang Si come back with a little boy, Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo were very surprised.

“Honey, whose child is this, why did you bring him back?”

Being reminded, Yang Si was quite angry about what happened. She brought a medicine box to the little boy and relayed what she saw while applying the medicine. At the end, her emotions even became a little excited: “That boy looked pretty big but he actually bullied such a young child, I think he has antisocial personality disorder symptoms.”

“Mom, don’t be angry, have you seen what he looks like?”

“I only saw the side of his face.” Yang Si said angrily, “But I’ll recognize him when I see him next time, and I’ll be sure to ask his parents how this child was taught and why he became like this.”

“According to what you said, the child is probably almost or already an adult. It’s useless for you to talk to his parents.”

“Why is it useless?” Yang Si said: “Even if he is an adult, they raised him. Such a child will practically cause a lot of harm when he enters society in the future! If I talk to his parents before he enters society, maybe he can change.”

“Don’t be angry anymore.” Jiang Zhuo patted her back: “Be careful of the baby.”

Yang Si gently wiped the medicine on the little boy, rubbed the little boy’s head comfortingly, and suddenly sighed. She said: “To be able to teach such a child, the parents are probably not very good either, and it may be difficult to talk sense to them.”

“Yeah.” Jiang Zhuo had long been used to his wife’s capriciousness during pregnancy, and said with a smile: “That child will not be successful in the future, so you shouldn’t care about him. But after sending this child back, we must tell his parents, don’t let the child play outside alone again.”

“That’s right.” Yang Si ordered Jiang Chen: “Chen Chen, you get some snacks for your little brother, and then send him back to his family, make sure you let them know, okay?”

Knowing that he would be the one running errands, Jiang Chen got up and accepted the task. Holding the snacks that Yang Si gave the little boy, he led the little boy to the door of his house under his guidance.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The courtyard gate of the little boy’s house was open, and there were many cardboard boxes piled up in the yard. Some people were walking around, and Jiang Chen paused. He thought the boy was a villager’s child, but now it seemed that he should be from one of the families assigned to a house here who came to stay for the winter.

“Elder Brother!”

The little boy broke away from Jiang Chen’s hand and ran forward on his short legs.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, and happened to collide with the eyes of the young man who looked up, and they were both taken aback.

Source of Calamity CH 087 Meeting Again Part 1

“It’s your turn.” Someone reminded Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing finished up his makeup. He wore a white shirt and trousers, his hair was slightly curled, and he had on light brown colored contact lenses. He nodded awkwardly, and walked in front of the camera.

He had never studied acting, and attending this kind of reality show was because it was the best entertainment resource that CEO Li could give him.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After all, it could be said that Feng Anyan had blacklisted him and couldn’t appear on TV. He could only act in online dramas or appear in online reality shows.

He thought for a long time, and finally chose a reality show.

In the crew, his seat was very awkward, because he was the only one who came in through the back door. (TN: connections)

Almost everyone knew that his benefactor was Li Zhao. Su Shiqing felt ashamed and couldn’t hold his head up. Sometimes when Li Zhao came to visit the set, he didn’t dare to let Li Zhao appear in everyone’s sight.

Li Zhao also laughed at him, saying that he “lead the life of a whore but still want a monument put up to one’s chastity”.

Su Shiqing was infuriated, but in front of Li Zhao, he still had to be humble, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.

Just how many tears had been held back only he himself knew.

In this episode of the show, he was targeted by the crew once again.

While crying, Su Shiqing called Qin Yue.

He regretted it, and he wanted to go back.

Even if Qin Yue yelled at him every day, it would be easier than his current life.

In his eyes, everyone would abandon him, but Qin Yue would not. So long as he called, Qin Yue would definitely accept him back again.

He was so miserable, Qin Yue would definitely not refuse.

Back in the hotel room, Su Shiqing called Qin Yue.

He had even prepared what to say to Qin Yue.

It was just that after the call connected, the voice of the person who answered was the wrong person.

It was not Qin Yue’s voice at all, but a younger and clearer voice. The person on the other end of the line said: “I’m sorry, Brother Qin is taking a shower. If you need anything, just send a text message, or you can call him later.”

Su Shiqing opened his mouth, but felt that he had suddenly gone mute. After a few seconds, he asked, “You, who are you? What’s your relationship with Qin Yue?”

Zheng Xiao on the other end of the line also felt very strange. This number was an unfamiliar number. He basically knew everyone around Qin Yue. Although he was not familiar with them, he at least remembered their voices. He had a very good memory and for Qin Yue he went to the effort to memorize everything about Qin yue, including Qin Yue’s friend’s information.

Zheng Xiao thought for a while and said, “Brother Qin and I are friends.”

Su Shiqing’s voice was very cold: “Boyfriend?”

Zheng Xiao also keenly noticed something was wrong. He knew that Qin Yue had an ex-boyfriend, but he had already broken up with Qin Yue. Although he knew his position and knew that he was just a kept lover of Qin Yue, after getting along for such a long time, he had indeed become moved by Qin Yue. Once his feelings towards the other became real, his emotions could no longer be perfectly controlled as before.

“You are…..Mr. Su, right?” Zheng Xiao asked cautiously.

Su Shiqing was infuriated: “You know me? Since you know me, you should know my relationship with Qin Yue. What is your relationship with Qin Yue? Do you know that you are a third party now?”

Zheng Xiao interrupted him: “I know you and Brother Qin have already broken up. I only appeared after you two broke up, so I can’t be considered a third party. If you hurt Brother Qin’s heart, you should consciously stay away from Brother Qin, and don’t make it difficult for Brother Qin.”

“Difficult?” Su Shiqing felt that there might be something wrong with his ears, “What do you mean making it difficult for him? How am I making it difficult for him? How long have I been with Qin Yue, and how long have you been with Qin Yue? Do you think Qin Yue loves you very much?”

Zheng Xiao felt that this Mr. Su might have some brain problems, so he said with exasperation: “Mr. Su, if there is nothing else, it’s better for us not to continue talking about this.”

It just so happened that Qin Yue came out of the bathroom at this time, and Zheng Xiao said, “Brother Qin, a Mr. Su called you, but he still hasn’t hung up, do you want to say something to him?”

Standing at the door, Qin Yue pursed his lips and frowned, and said to Zheng Xiao, “Hang up the call.”

“In the future, if it is his call, just hang up.”

Zheng Xiao lowered his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth. He knew that Su Shiqing on the other end of the phone must have heard Qin Yue’s voice. He was just humiliating himself. He gave up on their relationship first but now he wanted to take it back again. Qin Yue was a person, not an item, so how could he do whatever he wanted?

Now the one standing beside Qin Yue was Zheng Xiao, not Su Shiqing. He was at the best position and would never give Su Shiqing a single chance.

It wasn’t until the phone was hung up that Su Shiqing raised his head in disbelief.

He heard what Qin Yue said.

What did Qin Yue mean? Qin Yue didn’t love him anymore?

No…..definitely not.

Qin Yue must have been bewitched by the man who answered the phone.

Su Shiqing gritted his teeth resentfully.

Why did people always tried to obstruct him from being with Qin Yue?

Before it was Shen Zhen, and now a newcomer appeared.

These people just couldn’t see him and Qin Yue getting along!

No! No! He couldn’t give up on Qin Yue! He had to see Qin Yue.

So long as the two of them spoke together and cleared up the misunderstanding, they would get back together and be together again.

Both he and Qin Yue were good people, and they would definitely have a happy ending.

After a few more years, they could even adopt a child. After all, Qin Yue wanted to inherit the Qin family. He could not be without an heir, but he could not give Qin Yue a child. However, they could adopt one and if they educated the child well, the child would not be worse than his own biological child.

Su Shiqing fantasized happily, and he made up his mind to find Qin Yue.

Since he wanted to find Qin Yue, he must meet Qin Yue face to face. He had to find a way to learn of Qin Yue’s itinerary.

——

“There’s a wedding banquet tonight? Why didn’t I know?” Shen Zhen was changing his clothes. He had just put on his pants, and his upper body was bare. His recent fitness training had finally paid off. Shen Zhen now not only regained his six-pack abs, it had also become firmer. No matter from any angle, he had an excellent good figure.

Qin Xing sat on the bed behind Shen Zhen, looking at Shen Zhen. He said with a smile: “It’s rare to attend a wedding banquet with me, are you displeased?”

The eldest young master of the Zhao family and the second young lady of the Zheng family had married. They got married just after finishing their studies and before they got married, they had barely even dated for a few days. It was just that the parents of both parties thought it was a good alliance, so the marriage was settled.

This was the case with marriage alliances in the upper class. No one cared whether the couple involved were in love or not, nor what kind of life they would live after marriage.

So long as it was good for the families on both sides.

Shen Zhen put on his shirt, tie, and suit jacket, and said, “I don’t even know them.”

The head of the Zhao family had a good relationship with Qin Xing. He could be regarded as an old friend. After all, the other party was over seventy and Qin Xing had to at least give some face.

Shen Zhen: “Should we give the gift money together or separately, and how much?”

Qin Xing said: “You are a junior, so you don’t need to pay too much for the gift, just put 880,000 yuan in the red envelope.”

Shen Zhen asked curiously: “How much did you prepare?”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “My gift is not money, it’s a business deal.”

Shen Zhen understood.

Shen Zhen sighed, and said with some regret: “We can’t hold a wedding of our own, can we? So we won’t be able to get back the gift money.”

It hurt his stingy heart to think about it.

Qin Xing had a smile on his face, and his tone was full of doting: “Do you want to hold a wedding?”

Shen Zhen thought for a while, and said to Qin Xing: “Actually, forget it, we’ll talk about it later when there’s time.”

Qin Xing didn’t say anymore either. After all, Shen Zhen was young and it was normal to be afraid of tying the knot so early.

They couldn’t get married in China, but they could get married abroad.

After both of them put on their suits, Shen Zhen stood beside Qin Xing and looked in the mirror. The two men in the mirror were tall and straight-backed, and they matched well no matter how one looked at them. Shen Zhen was inexplicably happy, a smile appearing on his lips.

The driver was already waiting downstairs. Shen Zhen and Qin Xing sat together. Shen Zhen asked, “Will we sit at the same table?”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “My table is full of old men. If you don’t find it boring, I have no objection.”

Shen Zhen: “Then it’s settled, I’ll sit with you.”

He didn’t like others flattering and praising him now, after hearing so many of that kind of thing it was inevitable that it would become tiresome.

Now no matter what occasion he went to or who he met, what others would say to him was always the same.

Most of them just wanted to have a share in his business.

He wanted to start a chain shopping mall before, but no one was optimistic about this project when he went out to socialize.

Now that he had money in his own hands, these people suddenly popped up.

With the funds being sufficient, Shen Zhen didn’t want to waste time with them anymore.

He was not afraid of this offending people. If he needed to seek cooperation next time, as long as there was profit, they would still follow the scent of money over.

Shen Zhen knew these people well.

In this circle, there were no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Walking into the hotel, Shen Zhen saw a lot of familiar faces. This time the Zhao and Zheng families were making a marriage alliance, and everyone who could be invited was invited, and no one was absent. Shen Zhen and Qin Xing walked in, and people greeted them along the way. Their attitude was very friendly and almost ingratiating, they didn’t dare to praise Qin Xing, so they latched onto Shen Zhen and fiercely heaped praises on him. Shen Zhen was very numb from the praise, and felt that if what they said was true, no one in the world could compare to him.

“Uncle Qin, Brother Shen.” The newcomer was called Zhao Anrun. When he saw Qin Xing and Shen Zhen, he hastily greeted them. He was twenty-three years old this year, and had a baby face. He was wearing a pure white three piece suit with a red rose tucked into his breast pocket, and he had a smile on his face. The smile was perfectly measured, such that people couldn’t see through the mask to his true feelings.

Qin Xing said amaibly: “Congratulations, you now have a family of your own, so you should be more mature in doing things.”

Zhao Anrun smiled and said, “I will still have to trouble Uncle Qin to continue to take care of me in the future.”

Qin Xing: “Where’s your grandfather?”

Zhao Anrun quickly said, “Grandpa is talking to Grandpa Zhang and the others, and he is waiting for you.”

Qin Xing said: “I’ll go there first, no need to send me off.”

Zhao Anrun nodded obediently, and when Qin Xing left, the sweat on his forehead fell down.

He had never met Qin Xing alone, and every time he saw Qin Xing, he couldn’t help sweating nervously.

“Brother Shen.” Zhao Anrun approached Shen Zhen and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Qin is in a good mood today.”

Shen Zhen slapped him away: “Today’s your wedding, it’s not like Uncle Qin can show you a nasty attitude on your special day, right? If so, wouldn’t you end up crying?”

Zhao Anrun frowned and said, “I thought you wouldn’t come, I was quite worried.”

Shen Zhen: “Why did you think I wouldn’t come?”

Zhao Anrun said in a low voice: “Qin Yue is here, and he brought a companion, but it’s not Su Shiqing.”

Shen Zhen: “Qin Yue is here, so I can’t come?”

Zhao Anrun quickly said: “That’s not what I meant. Don’t you have a little conflict with him? I was just afraid you would feel uncomfortable.”

Shen Zhen patted Zhao Anrun on the shoulder: “Be more mature and sensible.”

Zhao Anrun touched the back of his head, but he didn’t find anything immature and insensible about him. He continued complaining to Shen Zhen: “My grandfather said that after I get married, I will be taking over the family affairs.”

Shen Zhen looked at him: “Isn’t this a good thing?”

In Zhao Anrun’s family, all three generations were single children, his grandfather had only his father, and his father only had him.

Thousands of hectares yield only a single seedling. His father died of lung cancer when he was forty years old, he was the only heir of the Zhao family, and he knew from birth that he would inherit the Zhao family in the end, so he started playing around when he was more than ten years old. He didn’t have to worry about anything, he just needed to wait for his grandfather to hand over the Zhao family to him.

Shen Zhen felt that if the Zhao family was really handed over to Zhao Anrun, their wealth probably wouldn’t be able to last for many years, and would be wasted away by Zhao Anrun sooner or later.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhao Anrun sighed, and said with a sad face: “I originally wanted to delay it for a few more years, but he forced me to get married.”

Shen Zhen: “Isn’t it good to get married?”

Zhao Anrun sighed: “Fei Fei has a bad temper, I never planned to marry her.”

Shen Zhen glanced at him: “You are already considered lucky.”

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 106 The King Of The World

Astrologer?

The King immediately thought of the young astrologer he had met when he went to Moon River Fortress. It was not the first time that the King had dealt with astrologers. General Johan’s fiasco was related to the participation of astrologers, and the assassination of the King himself before the outbreak of the Black Death also had the hand of astrologers.

Clark began to explain the King.

When he was still in the “art capital” not far from the Holy Court, he met some astrologers.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The Holy See “protected” the astrologers on the surface, allowing them to live in the cities around the holy city and granting them limited freedom. Clark’s rejection of the Holy Court was also partly out of sympathy for his friends who were in a state of semi-imprisonment.

Back then, Clark was just an ordinary painter with neither force nor power. After offending the Holy Court, he was able to escape successfully thanks to the help of these astrologer friends. They sent him a warning in advance, and later helped him divine a safe escape route.

Before receiving the letter from them, Clark thought that his poor friends might have died in the imprisonment of the Holy Court a few years ago.

It was clear that Clark wanted to help the astrologers who had saved him.

However, it was difficult to make a reliable guarantee for a group of astrologers from the Holy Court just based on his weak words. The astrologers also took this into consideration, so they really just wanted to ask Clark to deliver a letter to the King for them and say a few nice words.

The King and Charles exchanged a look.

After handing over the letter nervously, Clark withdrew.

What happened next was not up to him.

The letter from the astrologers reflected their solemnity. The envelope and letter was extraordinarily fine and exquisite, with dark patterns of star trails, and the seal of the “Association of Prediction and Fate” was stamped squarely on it. Clark was just a painter and couldn’t read the meaning of the words, but in the eyes of the King and Charles, it already possessed another message:

This group of astrologers who escaped from the Holy Court——assuming they really escaped——did not have an ordinary status.

“Your Majesty?”

Charles spoke in a questioning tone.

“Association of Prediction and Fate…..” The King picked up the letter, looked at the seal on it, and frowned slightly.

“That’s the second organization of astrologers.”

A voice sounded, and the Queen Mother Eleanor pushed open the secret door of the study and walked in. On the surface, the Queen Mother Eleanor died more than ten years ago, and she was not suitable to appear directly in front of people, so the King specially set up hidden secret doors for his mother in some places of the castle.

She seemed no stranger to the role of astrologer.

Meeting the King’s questioning gaze, Eleanor chuckled in a low voice. She took off a cat’s-eye gemstone ring she was wearing on her hand, and turned it over to let the King see the runes on the back of the gemstone.

——It was the same symbol as the badge of the “Association of Prediction and Fate”.

“You were one of them?”

The King asked, he was not surprised that his mother also possessed the identity of an astrologer.

The letter left by the Duke of Buckingham explained that Queen Eleanor went crazy because she used a secret method to see the outcome of William III’s gamble. At that time, the King guessed that his mother might also be an astrologer.

“Yes, child,” replied Eleanor, “I was one of them.”

“Once?” The King picked up on the key information.

“A not very interesting story.” The Queen Mother Eleanor said lightly, “However, at least before I left, there were still some of them who could be trusted. But…..I suspect that some of them turned their backs against their oath.”

Speaking of this, a terrible storm seemed to gather in Queen Eleanor’s green eyes.

“Perhaps you would like to introduce us to the ‘Association of Prediction and Fate’?” The King gently diverted his mother’s attention.

Eleanor sat down, turned the ring on her hand, and said slowly: “Not all astrologers were willing to be enslaved by the Holy Court. Therefore, except for the Astrologer Association supervised by the Holy Court, the unwilling astrologers formed a second alliance. Under the name of ‘Prediction’ and ‘Fate.’ The main goal was——”

“To wait for the day of the turning point.”

………………

On the sea at a distance from the port of Koszoya.

A ship with sails painted with star trails was blown by the tide, causing the hull to undulate slightly. On the ship, a young man leaned on the railing and looked at the distant sea. He looked very tired. For two consecutive weeks, all they saw was the sea. At this time, they were finally not far from the land.

But as the ship approached Legrand, the young astrologer became more and more anxious.

He once met Legrand’s King outside Moon River Fortress. That meeting had left a deep impression on him. Before that, when he was divining fate, he once saw a scorching sun rising from the abyss, shining on the earth in an irresistible power. At that time, he didn’t know whether the scorching sun belonged to Bressi or Legrand, and he even specially alerted General Karl.

At that time, General Karl decided that the scorching sun must belong to Bressi.

Of course he also hoped that the scorching sun belonged to Bressi.

However, as the situation changed, General Karl, who firmly believed that Bressi would conquer the earth, followed the deposed Ferri III and retreated to the ice and snow in the extreme north. Under the leadership of the new King Charles, the great Bressi Kingdom presented its crown to the Holy Court.

The scorching sun predicted didn’t favor Bressi.

There was a cough from behind.

“Ari.” An old voice sounded.

The young astrologer hurriedly turned around: “Mr. President, why did you come out?”

The president of the Association of Prediction and Fate, Mr. Meade had a wrinkled face, hunched back, and leaned on a birch cane. He looked as if he was nearly a hundred years old. But in fact, he was less than sixty years old. Every time he saw the old and tottering appearance of the president, Ali couldn’t help feeling sorrowful in his heart.

In name, they were guests protected by the Holy Court, but in fact, their situation in the Holy Court was not much better than that of serfs.

“I came out to take a look.” The president sighed, leaning on the railing, looking in the direction of Koszoya City. Legrand’s royal navy patrolled so closely that they didn’t even dare get too close to the coast.

“Mr. President…..” Ari hesitated, “King Legrand, will he really accept us?”

Ari was the student of the president and knew some details that others on the ship do not know. Before setting off for Legrand, the president announced to the others that he saw the hope of the astrologers in Legrand, so everyone worked together and escaped from the Holy Court at a considerable cost.

But in fact, the results obtained by the president’s divination were very vague.

It only vaguely pointed out that the fate of the astrologers was in Legrand, but this fate may be a good turning point, or it may mean that they would eventually die in Legrand. Both were possible.

However, hope was needed to allow everyone to survive the hardships along the way.

But to be honest, he was very worried.

After hearing that Legrand had stopped the spread of the Black Death with the “monarch’s touch”, as an astrologer who also belonged to the mystical arts, Ari immediately understood that the young king must have received some help from non-human forces. This meant that the monarch probably also knew what good deeds astrologers like them did in the war.

That one did not seem like a tolerant and benevolent monarch.

They defected this time out of survival, but it might possibly only send them to a dead end.

“I have no idea.”

The president shook his head.

“However, this is where the day of turning point lies.” When Ari was feeling disappointed again, the president said, “The king of the world will be born here.”

“The Holy Court has been studying the prophecy of the king of the world for so many years.” Ari hesitated, but still raised the question that he had hidden in his heart for a long time, “They think the king of the world refers to the supreme Holy Lord, who will descend in person. Mr. President, the rules of astrologers are to observe the changes in history, and to obey fate to obtain blessings. I am a little worried, whether the interpretation of the Holy Court is truly correct.”

This suspicion had been in his heart for a long time, and it had always made him feel afraid.

If the “king of the world” in the prophecy was really the God of the Holy Court, then everything they have done was tantamount to a dead end.

“Where does your confidence come from?”

“Legrand is the place where the dragon is buried. ‘The red dragon has seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on its seven heads. Its tail dragged a third of the stars in the sky and fell to the ground’. These were the words left behind by the Revelation, the legendary red dragon inhabited Legrand and was finally buried here. And the seven crowns of the red dragon eventually fell into the hands of the founder of Legrand, the Rose family.” The president gave an astonishing answer.

“If the prophesied ‘king of the world’ finally appears, I think it will not be the Holy Court, but Legrand.”

“The crowns, the dragon’s bones, the power and authority, the king of the world…..”

There was a gleam in the president’s eyes.

“Fate is on our side!”

A sharp bird cry echoed across the sky.

Under the gray sky, a goshawk circled with its wings outstretched. It suddenly retracted its wings and swooped down like an arrow. Ari stretched out his hand, and the goshawk landed firmly on his arm, stretching out a leg tied with a secret letter.

The president unfurled the letter.

As soon as it was unfolded, a shocked expression appeared on the president’s face.

“What’s the matter?” Ari immediately asked, “Did King Legrand reject us?”

“No.”

The president answered slowly.

He stared fixedly at a pattern at the end of the letter. Ari took a closer look and recognized that pattern at a glance as the symbol of their “Association of Prediction and Fate”. And under the symbol, there was a name:

Eleanor.

………………

Rose Palace.

While waiting for the secret arrival of the astrologers, the King’s bedroom was suddenly overrun by black mist. He raised his eyes in no surprise.

“Good day, my dear Majesty.”

The Devil saluted the King with a smile. After that time St. Val died in hell, he had disappeared for a while. The King guessed that the Devil also had his own purpose in that hunt.

In a way, they worked well together——in the villains colluding together kind.

“What are you doing here?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The King closed the book and asked.

“Can’t I simply care about Your Majesty?” The Devil complained, “Isn’t my image too biased in your eyes?”

The King looked at him without saying a word.

“Okay, okay, just one little thing.”

The Devil immediately changed his tune and stopped joking.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 100 Moving To Wugu Village

When the words fell, the entire dining room was silent for a moment, and everyone had varying expressions on their faces.

Yang Yun came back to her senses first, and immediately whispered: “Qian Min.”

He Qianmin snorted coldly, and did not say any more with a sullen face.

The helper auntie had already added a stool, and retreated in the silent atmosphere.

Old Mr. He: “Sit.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He Qianjian paused, and across the dining table, he met Jiang Chen’s eyes who happened to raise his eyes at that moment.

Jiang Chen’s gaze didn’t remain, skipping over He Qianjian and looking to He Qianyang at the side. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Who told you to betray your big brother.” He Qianyang poked Jiang Chen’s waist, saw him tremble, and the words on his tongue took a turn. As if he had discovered a new world, he exclaimed: “Are you ticklish?”

Jiang Chen: “I’m not.”

He Qianyang raised his eyebrows, held the chopsticks and waved them in the direction of Jiang Chen’s waist. Seeing his eyes twitch slightly, he laughed instantly. He moved closer and said, “Sure you’re not?”

Jiang Chen moved a little towards He Qianmin’s direction: “I’m sue.”

“Then I’ll put you to the test…..”

Just as Jiang Chen was about to dodge, there was a low cough from the opposite side, and He Yanjun said: “He Qianyang, what are you doing?”

He Qianyang sat up straight, and put the chopsticks on the table, “I just dropped it on the floor, and I was picking it up.”

“Go to the kitchen and get a new pair, what is with that crooked posture while sitting at the dining table?”

“If you drop the chopsticks, of course you have to bend over to pick them up.” Old Mrs. He said, “Why are you reprimanding him, Yang Yang, hurry up and get a new pair of chopsticks.”

“Okay!”

He Qianjian looked at the harmonious scene at the dining table, everyone’s attention was on Jiang Chen and He Qianyang, and the hands on his side couldn’t help but tightened a little bit into fists——if he had dealt with it cleanly at the beginning, all of this would not be happening. Noticing the sight from diagonally in front, he lowered his head, silently walked to the seat next to He Qianyu and sat down.

He Qianyang got new chopsticks and came back quickly. With him at the dining table, it was impossible for the atmosphere to not be lively. The topics ranged from his embarrassing incidents at the beginning of school to his travel trip during the vacation to final exams. He always had a way to make people laugh.

Jiang Chen was eating quietly, looking down and pondering over the bug just discovered by the image recognition system, and suddenly felt his arm being bumped.

“What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed.” He Qianyang said, “I’ve called you several times but you don’t seem to have heard me.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyes: “Is there something wrong?”

“Grandpa said that we will move to live in Wugu Village in two days.” He Qianyang said, “Maybe we’ll celebrate Chinese New Year there this year.”

Jiang Chen was startled: “Wugu Village?”

“This winter is colder than usual. Grandpa was just allocated a house in that village, so he said to spend the winter there and move back after the new year.”

Seeing Jiang Chen frowning slightly, He Qianyang asked: “You don’t know Wugu Village? It is a hot spring village in the northern suburbs. The place is not big, but the hot springs there are good. Few people knew about it before due to its remoteness, but the documents for building a 5A scenic spot there have been approved a long time ago, and now there should be quite a lot of people who know about the place. But as a student, it’s normal if you don’t know.”

He Qianmin leaned over to Jiang Chen and said, “Who says my brother doesn’t know? Not only does my brother know, he also has a house over there. He is the only one besides the allocated housing and the original villagers who lived there to have a house there.”

He Qianyang looked at Jiang Chen: “You have a house there?”

Jiang Chen nodded: “I had a sum of money before, and I heard that the hot springs over there are good, so I bought a place there.”

He Qianyang hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to have his own house in Wugu Village. He was completely surprised, and suddenly thought of something: “Then when do you plan to move over?”

Jiang Chen: “The original plan is to move there this winter.”

He Qianyang glanced at He Qianjian, who was eating with his head down and unable to see his expression clearly, thought for a while and said, “I heard that your and He Qianjian’s identities will not be disclosed for the time being, so if we all move to Wugu Village at that time, your parents will definitely see He Qianjian, have you thought about what to do?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered slightly: “I’m not sure yet.”

He Qianyang observed Jiang Chen’s expression, and lowered his voice a bit: “How was your relationship with He Qianjian before?”

“Before?”

“Before you found out who your biological parents are.”

“Not good.” He Qianmin interjected, and he said: “My brother and I are both incompatible with him.”

He Qianyang clicked his tongue: “What are you talking about, little brat? Stop interrupting when grown-ups are talking, and go away.” He lowered his voice, and said to Jiang Chen: “If your relationship is not good, I suggest you not let He Qianjian see your adoptive parents. After all, he is their biological child, and He Qianjian already knows his identity. If he meets them, he will inevitably reveal something. I heard that Aunt Jiang is pregnant. I am afraid she will be affected negatively.”

“What are you three huddling together and chattering about?” He Yanjun said; “Eat properly.”

He Qianyang and He Qianmin sat up straight, while Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed, thoughtful.

…….

Before celebrating the New Year, the research institute was given a holiday.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen still decided to go to the house in Wugu Village to celebrate the New Year as planned. There were three reasons. Firstly, Yang Si was getting further along in her pregnancy term now, and she had been stimulated before, and needed a more comfortable environment to await the birth of the baby. Second, when he was preparing for the renovation, he promised his parents that he would give them a surprise during the New Year’s this year and he didn’t want to let them down. The third and most important reason was that Jiang Chen believed that it was absolutely impossible for He Qianjian to reveal his identity voluntarily. Because making his identity known would mean leaving the He family early, and he would never do so.

On the second day of the New Year, Jiang Chen took Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si to Wugu Village. Because the house in Wugu Village was well prepared, even if they went to spend the winter, the family did not bring anything except a change of clothes and traveled very lightly.

The car soon drove into the entrance of the village. It was the first time for Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo to come here. Looking at the blooming flowers on both sides of the road, Yang Si couldn’t help but joyfully say: “The temperature here seems to be warmer than that at home. There are many flowers and plants blooming.”

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Our house has a big terrace. If you like flowers, you can plant them on the terrace.”

“Okay.” Yang Si said with a smile: “When the time comes, Mom will plant a terrace full of flowers, so that you can look outside after finishing work and feel relaxed.”

Jiang Zhuo asked: “Chen Chen, how has work been recently? Are you tired?”

“Not tired.” Jiang Chen curved his eyes and said with a slight smile, “It’s all things I like to do, but there is one thing I might discuss with you guys.”

“What is it?” Yang Si was curious.

“In the second semester of the third year of high school, I may have to spend most of my time at the research institute.” Jiang Chen said, “I might rarely go to school.”

Yang Si asked: “Then what about your college entrance examination?”

“I am basically familiar with all the contents in the books.” Jiang Chen said: “Even in the research institute, I will not slack off. I study and do the test papers every day.”

“Isn’t that very tiring?” Yang Si worried: “Chen Chen, Mom has seen that you have lost weight during this time. Is it because you are too busy with work to eat well? Back then, Mom and Dad didn’t let you skip grades because we wanted you to enjoy your school life every year. Now after going to the research institute it has become so tiring, and you don’t even have the time to attend your final courses. When you think back to this, that you only have two and a half years of high school memories, will you regret it?”

Jiang Zhuo said with a smile: “The child can make his own decision, this is what he likes, how could he regret it? As parents, we just need to support him. But there is one thing, you are still in the third year of high school, can the school agree?”

“I’ve already got the early admission quota, and the school will agree to it.” Jiang Chen pointed out the window: “We’re here.”

Turning her head to look out the window, Yang Si’s eyes lit up. Even before Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhuo opened the door for her, she got out of the car by herself.

Yang Si walked to the small modern flower bed, reached out to touch the plants inside, turned around and said with a smile, “Is this the one?”

Jiang Chen got out of the car and held her arm: “Mom, be careful.”

“I’m not so fragile.” Yang Si said impatiently, “Open the door quickly and let’s take a look inside.”

Standing outside the door, Jiang Zhuo looked up at the whole house and nodded with satisfaction.

“This lock is opened like this.” Jiang Chen demonstrated how to open the combination lock, causing Yang Si to tut in amazement. Jiang Zhuo lowered his head and studied it for a while: “Son, what material is this screen made of?”

But Yang Si couldn’t wait to open the door: “Let’s go in quickly.”

Jiang Chen smiled, and led Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo to tour the whole house, including the hot spring in the backyard, Yang Si’s dressing room, the baby’s room, Jiang Zhuo’s workshop, and so on.

After taking his parents for a tour, Jiang Chen received a call from the research institute. He stayed upstairs to answer the call, while Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo went downstairs.

Yang Si stood in the bright kitchen, looked at the fine dishes in the transparent cabinet, and said with a smile: “It’s a pity that you don’t let me cook now, otherwise I really want to try this kitchen out.”

“After the baby is born.” Jiang Zhuo put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, “You can cook whenever you want.”

Yang Si smiled and was about to speak when she heard the doorbell ring.

“Who could it be?” She looked at Jiang Zhuo.

Jiang Zhuo: “Chen Chen has seen the neighbors here before, maybe they saw our car parked outside and know there are people at home, so they came over to visit.”

Yang Si nodded: “Then go see who it is.”

Jiang Chen went downstairs and saw only Yang Si in the living room, and asked, “Mom, where’s Dad?”

“There was a knock on the door, and your father went to open it.”

After Yang Si finished speaking, the iron gate of the courtyard sounded. Jiang Chen got up and walked to the French windows, and saw the He Yanfeng couple outside the door.

It was too late to be surprised, Jiang Zhuo had already led them in.

“Please come in. I didn’t expect you to live here too, what a coincidence.” Seeing Jiang Chen and Yang Si both looking over, Jiang Zhuo smiled and said: “Qian Min’s parents are here, Chen Chen come and say hello. “

Jiang Chen supported Yang Si to walk over to Jiang Zhuo, and nodded slightly: “Uncle He, Aunt Yang.”

“Welcome, welcome, please have a seat.” Yang Si said: “Chen Chen, go and pour a cup of tea for your uncle and aunt.”

Yang Yun’s expression changed slightly. She paused for two seconds, and then forced a smile: “No need for the trouble, we just came over to have a look, we’ll only sit for a bit before leaving.”

“No trouble, no trouble.” Yang Si smiled and said, “A visitor is a guest, and making tea is a courtesy.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Jiang Chen helped Yang Si sit down on the sofa, turned around and went into the kitchen, made tea and brought it out.

“Please have some tea.”

After Yang Yun and He Yanfeng each took a cup of tea, Yang Si smiled and opened the topic: “By the way, why don’t I see Qian Min? I also heard that you have an older son and a young daughter. Have they come along as well?”

Source of Calamity CH 086 Mild

Qin Yue’s days were not good. He was originally a proud golden boy, no matter where he went, others would give him face. Because he was the heir of the Qin family, even the uncles who were the same generation as Qin Xing were very polite to him.

However, during this period of time, he really felt what it meant to taste warmth and coldness.

After losing his uncle’s favor, he finally understood that in the eyes of those old fritters, he was nothing but a rich second generation who had relied on the backing of the Qin family and his uncle.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He could not even compare to Qin Li. After all, Qin Li was still in charge of a branch company and he had real power in his hands.

But he had nothing.

His previous title was useless, and when he went out to socialize, only a few old friends remained around him.

Sometimes when he heard Shen Zhen’s name from other people’s mouths, he felt like a lifetime had passed.

He sat on the side and listened to his friends talking about Shen Zhen.

“Do you know how much the cheapest land he sold was?”

“A billion yuan.”

“I didn’t expect that piece of land to be sold at that price. Is that land buyer crazy?”

“Why is it that he gets to meet with all the good things.”

His friends all knew that Shen Zhen had a good relationship with Qin Yue before, but now seeing that they had no contact and not knowing the inside story, they asked Qin Yue: “You haven’t contacted Shen Zhen recently? Did you two have a fight? Don’t be so proud. You lower your head, talk to Shen Zhen, and warm up the relationship again. I see that he has good momentum now, maybe he can help you…..”

Qin Yue had calmed down a lot now, and he didn’t get angry so easily. He said to his friend: “When he sees me now, it’s already mild if he doesn’t hit me.”

Friend: “What? What outrageous thing have you done to offend him?”

Qin Yue said, “I can’t explain clearly.”

Friend: “What? Is it because of that surnamed Su?”

As soon as the words “surnamed Su” came out, his friend spat repeatedly.

The few of them all knew that Su Shiqing was now hooked up with the boss of a film and television company who already has a family, practically a male mistress now. In short, they didn’t want Qin Yue to know, after all, it had been quite hard for Qin Yue to recover from the hurt.

After all, after being friends for so many years, apart from benefits, there was still friendship.

Some time ago, when Qin Yue was jilted, his whole person looked as if he had lost his soul. He dragged them to drink with him every day, and drank all night long. He drank so much that he could vomit all his bile by the side of the road, so his friends persuaded him. So long as he wanted, a bunch of people would be willing to throw themselves at him with just a wave of his hand, who were even better than Su Shiqing in terms of looks and body, and he really didn’t need to hang himself to death on Su Shiqing.

Once, don’t know who was so blind, actually even mentioned Shen Zhen.

“I think Su Shiqing is much lacking compared to Shen Zhen. What were you thinking at the time?”

Then Qin Yue grabbed the other and started a fight as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

And it was only during this time that he had become in better shape, at least he wouldn’t go out to drink all night, nor force his friends to accompany him to drink away his worries.

Naturally, his friends would not reveal Su Shiqing’s current situation.

They used to say that Su Shiqing was with him for Qin Yue’s money and status.

Qin Yue didn’t believe it, and said they were just talking nonsense, with no real basis at all.

They themselves were dubious, and felt that Su Shiqing’s feelings for Qin Yue were not pure, but Qin Yue himself didn’t care about it, so if they said anymore, it was just meddling in others’ business.

But now, Su Shiqing had hooked up with an old and ugly married man.

Qin Yue’s friends felt that they now saw Su Shiqing’s face clearly, so they all looked at Qin Yue with a clear sense of pity.

Qin Yue looked at his friend, saw that he was hesitant to speak, and asked strangely: “What’s the matter? What do you want to say, just say it.”

The friend had been holding back the words, and finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Do you know Li Zhao?” The friend sat next to Qin Yue and said excitedly.

Qin Yue didn’t know him: “Who? I haven’t heard of him.”

The friend pretended to be mysterious and said, “Guess what.”

Qin Yue: “…..”

The friend sighed: “You are still so boring, Li Zhao is the boss of Jinhui Entertainment.”

Qin Yue said strangely: “I never thought about doing business in the entertainment industry.”

Friend: “Looks like I have to make it clear for you to understand. Li Zhao has recently signed a newcomer, and he has put a lot of effort into promoting him. You probably can’t guess who he is promoting.”

Qin Yue: “Does it have something to do with me?”

The friend laughed and said, “It has something to do with you.”

Qin Yue turned to look at him: “What exactly do you want to say? Just say it.”

The friend said helplessly, “Su Shiqing.”

Qin Yue’s expression was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to himself: “Maybe he has talent in this area.”

The friend was dumbfounded: “Qin Yue, no way? Is something wrong with your brain?”

As he spoke, the friend reached out to feel the temperature of Qin Yue’s forehead.

Qin Yue swatted his hand away impatiently: “You mean to say that he slept his way up?”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Yue said again: “Impossible.”

He knew Su Shiqing well, and he knew that it was impossible for Su Shiqing to have sex with others for profit…..

Friend: “Qin Yue, do you still like him? You don’t know what kind of person he is?”

Qin Yue frowned.

The friend said: “Anyway, I’ve said everything I need to say. As a friend, this is the only thing I can do for you. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

Qin Yue looked down at his phone.

He had been calling Su Shiqing before, but Su Shiqing never answered, and later blocked his number. If he insisted on looking for Su Shiqing, he would be able to find him, but he was also a little discouraged.

Qin Yue felt that he had never treated others as well as he had treated Su Shiqing in his life.

Even Shen Zhen, he had never treated him like this.

But Su Shiqing didn’t appreciate any of it. After being sad and upset for a while, Qin Yue felt as if…..it wasn’t a big deal after all.

Without Su Shiqing, he still had to live, pass his days, and find ways to get more power.

The friend suddenly grabbed Qin Yue’s shoulder: “Come along tonight?”

Qin Yue lowered his head. Su Shiqing had been gone for such a long time. He was a normal adult man, so he naturally had needs in that regard.

“Okay.” Qin Yue said to his friend.

The friend introduced to Qin Yue, a boy who just graduated from university. He had fair skin and was not tall, but he had a good figure. He had six-pack abs and two cute eye teeth when he smiled.

The friend whispered: “I haven’t even tried this one myself. He said this is his first time. I don’t know if it is true. Tell me after you try it.”

Qin Yue gave him an eyeroll.

That night, Qin Yue spent the night at his friend’s club.

The boy’s name was Zheng Xiao, he had a good temper, didn’t talk much, and had a sunny smile.

Qin Yue often went to look for him, and then he brought him out at his side directly, and let the boy live in the house he bought for Su Shiqing before.

From then on, Qin Yue didn’t go back to the Qin family manor very often, and basically lived outside.

Regarding the fact that Qin Yue had a new boyfriend, Shen Zhen only found out about it later, and it was a coincidence that he met him on the road.

It was rare for Shen Zhen to go out for shopping that day. He was going to buy a watch for Qin Xing, but he didn’t want his assistant to order it online, so he went shopping by himself.

He looked at the watches at the counter, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Yue leading someone in.

The first time Shen Zhen saw Zheng Xiao, he felt that this person was a replica of Su Shiqing, or a high-quality version, but the difference with Su Shiqing was that he knew how to advance and retreat.

“Shen Zhen.” Standing on the side, Qin Yue panicked for some reason after seeing Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue, then at the unfamiliar boy next to him, and said with a smile: “Long time no see, is this your boyfriend?”

Qin Yue was taken aback, not knowing how to introduce the other to Shen Zhen.

He couldn’t just say that this was his kept lover, right?

The boy was very polite, smiled and said, “My name is Zheng Xiao, what’s your name?”

Shen Zhen also smiled at him: “Just call me Brother Shen.”

Zheng Xiao called out sweetly: “Brother Shen.”

Shen Zhen: “It’s the first time meeting you, and I don’t know what you like, so go pick out a watch and treat it as a gift from me.”

Zheng Xiao looked up at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue’s expression was very complicated, but he still nodded at Zheng Xiao and said, “Go ahead, have them wrap up whatever you want.”

Zheng Xiao had never been in this kind of high-end watch shop. The cheapest watch here costs more than 100,000 yuan, let alone the limited editions. He also didn’t dare to pick an expensive one, choosing one that was around two hundred thousand.

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen and asked, “Why weren’t you so generous to Su Shiqing before?”

Shen Zhen was surprised and said: “I’m not generous enough? His clothes, shoes, watches, which one was not mine? Whatever he liked I gave him.”

Qin Yue: “Those were things you didn’t want anymore.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “If it wasn’t for him not being able to move his eyes away after seeing those things of mine, I wouldn’t have not wanted it anymore. You should be very clear about whether I am a nostalgic person or not.”

Qin Yue was stunned.

He remembered…..Shen Zhen was indeed a nostalgic person. Even if he didn’t use the things that had become too old or worn, he would keep them well, and occasionally take them out for re-maintenance. He had never seen him dislike the old things.

It was just that Su Shiqing said at the time that Shen Zhen always gave him things he didn’t want.

Qin Yue sighed, as if after breaking up, he finally had the thought to think about the past.

Shen Zhen said to him, “I think this one is pretty good, and he seems sensible too.”

It was as if Shen Zhen had forgotten about the fact that he and Qin Yue had a falling out.

If Shen Zhen didn’t mention it, of course Qin Yue wouldn’t mention it either.

They seem to be old friends who have been reunited after a long time. Although they were not very enthusiastic, they still gave each other face.

It was not like they could just quarrel and turn the world upside down as soon as they came face to face.

Zheng Xiao came over with a paper bag, and said to Shen Zhen, “Thank you, Brother Shen.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “It’s nothing, you two take your time.”

Qin Yue suddenly asked: “Are you here to buy a watch too? Don’t you have one already?”

He knew very well that Shen Zhen’s watch was a limited edition worldwide, and one couldn’t buy it even with money, and it was the most beautiful watch of that brand, with many watch collectors looking for it.

Shen Zhen still had a smile on his face: “It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Yue was about to speak.

Shen Zhen said: “Meeting and saying hello is already the limit of what I can do.”

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen. After not seeing for such a long time, he couldn’t remember what state of mind he was in when he quarreled with Shen Zhen.

So Shen Zhen…..was actually such a mild person?

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 105 Visitor From The Sea

In came the tall and thin wandering painter Clark, who should, of course, be called Mr. Court Painter by now.

Together with Charles, who came to Metzl Castle, was this Mr. Painter.

Back then, he received the appreciation of the King because of a painting, and the news that he was appointed as the court painter of Legrand spread quickly. The painters of the great aristocrats were so jealous that they criticized his paintings as desecrating art.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But to his delight, many people traveled to Koszoya’s town hall to admire his painting.

Charles didn’t stop them either. As if it was God’s compensation for him, as much ridicule and criticism as he once received, he would receive as much praise now——there were even many people who had begun to learn the new painting techniques from him.

Nothing could make him happier than this.

Compared with the first time he met the King, Mr. Clark was in better condition——at least his clothes were much cleaner and tidy.

However, the King was slightly surprised when he saw him.

“What’s this? Could it be that our huge Legrand really can’t afford to support a court painter?” The King asked Charles in surprise.

Clark still looked as exhausted as if he was about to keel over suddenly, his face as pale as a vampire’s.

Charles was also stunned: “Clark…..?”

Clark bowed again and again to express his apologies, and he hastily explained that he had been struck by a new inspiration these days, so he had to draw that painting no matter what. During this time, in the inn, he had been completely taken over by this.

“Then let us admire your masterpiece.”

The King, always tolerant of his geniuses——or madmen——forgave the painter his faux pas.

The first oil painting was erected carefully by the attendants, and Clark revealed a faint hint of pride on his face.

This one painting was nearly two-thirds the length of the entire room.

It was the “Night of the Plague in Koszoya” that the King ordered him to paint.

The King once again confirmed that Clark was destined to leave his mark in the history of art. He was a genius, no doubt about it.

The theme of the painting “Night of the Plague” was originally despair, and the tone was depressing and sad. But in contrast, Clark had attributed such bold and bright colors to the painting that it could be called brilliant and intense.

The theme of the painting was the light and agile Walway pirate ships. Pirates with cloth strips tied on their heads stood on the decks, holding a sword in one hand and hanging onto a cable in the other. Bright flames gushed out from the dragon-shaped metal nozzle of the pirate ship’s prow, and the flames swept across the deep sea, reflecting the entire sea area a brilliant gold.

The golden brilliance that was only used on saints in the past was plated on those free and unrestrained pirates this time. They stood free and fearless on the bow of the ship, like bronze statues carved by time. In front of them, the plague ships looked so dim, behind them was the majestic and thick city wall of Koszoya, and under the city wall were the Rose knights standing like shields.

“The King and His City” was a hymn that belonged to the King only, but it was not that the praise given towards kings had not appeared before. But this “Night of the Plague in Koszoya” was completely deviant, and the protagonist of the painting was that of ant-like ordinary people.

They were just some pirates, no more significant than the most ordinary of folks.

They used their own flesh and blood to fight against the terrible plague ships to protect an ancient city. So the painter froze the moment when their brilliance was at their highest, and engraved the moment of their heroism. In the face of these fearless heroes, even the plague became a supporting role. From then on, people would always remember that in that disaster, it was the power of insignificant human beings that forged an indestructible wall.

What was even more touching were the details.

The painting took three months to paint, and while it was being painted, Clark was aboard a pirate ship.

The King’s order was to “let the people remember each and every one of them”.

His original intention was to have the people remember that night, and it turned out that Clark was more stubborn and persistent than the King and Charles could have imagined. He learned from Charles and Hawkins of all the people who fought that night, and wrote it down in his little book. Then, he ate and lived with the pirates for almost a month, and learned a little bit about the personalities and appearance characteristics of those comrades who died in battle from the pirates.

During that time, the Walway pirates spoke with Clark almost every day:

“Yes, yes, there was a scar on Tom, right here.”

“That guy is a little shorter than me.”

“I’m so pissed off! That guy still owes me three gold coins, how about you add a mole on him…..Ah, never mind, that guy is already uglier than me, and adding it will only make him even uglier. “

……

There was one thing that inspired both tears and laughter:

A month later, Clark, who was only here to collect information, actually made a request to become a member of the Walway pirates. Moreover, when the Walway Pirates voted democratically, his request was almost unanimously passed——the single vote against it came from Captain Hawkins. Because Clark refused to remove the iconic oblique scar on his face.

Hearing the cheers of the pirates, Charles thought amusedly and helplessly, could it be that the Walway Pirates always recruit strange and oddball members?

After so much effort, Clark’s painting possessed a very rare quality.

That was the strong emotion hidden in the flames of war.

Every pirate was portrayed vividly, throwing a rope, or throwing a spear…..They have such a tacit understanding with each other, and they trust each other with their backs. When looking closely, one could hear the voices of them calling to each other. In the raging war, they were true brothers.

On the day it was finished, the pirates of Walway, a group of rough men, looked at it and secretly blinked away tears.

Under the fearlessness and the flames of war, what settled was sadness and nostalgia, and all the beautiful emotions.

This was what the King wanted.

It completely got rid of the worship of divinity and idols, and eulogized the sorrows and joys of mortals themselves.

“I’m very happy that the gallery of the Rose Palace will be welcoming its most magnificent exhibit.” The King folded his fingers and stared at the painting. He smiled and asked Clark, “What reward do you want? My Mr. Chief Court Painter. “

From an ordinary court painter to the chief court painter, Clark bowed to express his gratitude somewhat flattered. After hearing the King’s inquiry, he bowed again: “You have rewarded me too much, Your Majesty. In fact, I would like to ask you to accept a gift from me…..it is the only thing I can use to express all my gratitude.”

The attendants brought in the second painting.

When he saw the painting, Charles couldn’t help revealing a smile: “Mr. Clark, did you have too much contact with our Mr. Architect?”

The second painting depicted the scene where the Archbishop of St. Wyth was beheaded on public display.

In the painting, the executioner held up the head of the Archbishop of St. Wyth and showed it to everyone. The fully armed Iron Rose Cavalry was orderly and majestic, and the crowd also showed varying expressions. The dazzling sunlight fell from the sky onto the blood-stained steel blade of the executioner. The cold light and the blood were in stark contrast.

The King couldn’t help laughing, “You’ve just painted a burning rack for yourself, my good sir.”

“In fact, this is the second bruning rack.”

Mr. Clark answered very calmly.

Before he lived in anonymity, he was sentenced to death for saying that “painting, as an art to express emotion and thought, should not be limited to religious subjects”. Now, he painted this painting that could be called a provocation towards the Holy Court, and won another bruning rack for himself with absolute strength.

According to the standards of the Lunatic Academy of Sciences, he actually came from behind, and ran ahead of the rest of the lunatics and became the first person to get two burning racks…..

Don’t know how the guys from the Lunatic Academy would react after knowing this.

“I believe it may be of some use to you.”

Mr. Clark looked at the King and said sincerely.

It was not wrong to say that he was obsessed with art and painting, but the “capital of art” where he was originally from was very close to the Holy Spirit Bay, so he was very familiar with the situation of the Holy Court.

The King’s actions during this period were so big, almost everyone knew that a fierce conflict was breaking out between Legrand and the Holy Court. Clark was not a priest, nor a soldier, he had no other ability, he could only help the King in this war in this way.

It might seem ridiculous, but Clark did feel obligated to do so.

Like the ancient knights who were willing to die for their king, he was willing to paint for the King something which was basically equivalent to another burning rack.

This was the only way he could repay His Majesty.

The King solemnly accepted Clark’s gratitude and ordered the Master of the Households to send the painting to the exhibition gallery of the Royal Academy.

“Also, Your Majesty.” Clark suddenly revealed a somewhat timid and nervous expression, “Can I ask you something?”

“Be my guest.”

“I have a few friends…..I think they can be of help to you. They had escaped from the Holy Court, could you…..” He stammered, “They are very willing to be of use to you!”

The blockade along the southeast coast was now extremely tight. Although he had become a member of the Walway Pirates, he never made this request in front of Charles and Captain Hawkins. Because he had seen with his own eyes what kind of price the Walway pirates paid to maintain the blockade.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

They carried out the King’s orders scrupulously, and asking them to bend the law in his favor was an insult to them.

The only one who could make the decision was the King.

“Who are they?”

The King asked, and Clark’s hesitant look made him feel that these “friends” might not be so “ordinary”.

“Some…..” Clark gritted his teeth, “Astrologers.”
