Shao Zhengyi had been out for such a long time just because he told his cousin about introducing her to a boyfriend. Shao Ruyi had no intention of coming. In her eyes, any man in the world was a weakling, including her cousins. The eldest cousin kept boasting that this man was a master of cultivation and that she could never beat him.

Cultivation existed only in legends. Shao Ruyi, a believer in science, dismissed it as pure nonsense. Hadn't there been many qigong schools in the past? She had tried it before. It was fine for simply strengthening the body, but for releasing qi? She didn't believe it.

The eldest cousin simply used facts to speak for herself and started fighting with her on the spot. This time, she was easily defeated by the eldest cousin, so she agreed to come and see the coach who led her cousin into the new gate and would work with her eldest cousin to form a new team.

Then, she learned from her cousin that this man was Zhou Xiang's nephew, Zhou Yan, the grandson of the Kong family.

She had never heard of Zhou Yan's name, but she had heard of Zhou Xiang, who single-handedly supported the entire town and even the county.

It is said that Zhou Xiang's money came from the Kong family, a cultivation family. The overseas returnees of the Kong family are very mysterious, but they were defeated by an ordinary person. It is said that this person has cultivation resources that are rare among cultivators, and step by step seduced the head of the Kong family to give up the entire family just to enhance the strength of the head of the family's lineage.

Now, hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person. Is this pretty young woman in front of me the Zhou Xiang who was said to have used all kinds of sinister means to deal with the Kong family?

"Hello, Sister Zhou!" Shao Ruyi has a neutral appearance and temper, and she likes to be gentle with women. Facing such a cute young woman, she couldn't call her aunt or Auntie.

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Xiang smiled sweetly and touched his face. "Ruyi, do you think my face is tender enough? Can I still attract some fresh meat?"

"Wife~" Ling Ran felt extremely aggrieved. Not only did his wife chase him away, but she also had the idea of ​​hooking up with some young hunk. "If you think my face is too old, I can have plastic surgery. Or, I can have whatever face shape you think is beautiful. As long as you don't despise me, that's fine."

"Go, go, go away," Zhou Xiang angrily chased him away, "After you're done, are you going to bring any more girls home to provoke me?"

"No, absolutely not."

Shao Ruyi pursed her lips to hold back her laughter. Anyone who knew Zhou Xiang knew her husband, Ling Ran, a man who loved beauty more than power. In order to accompany his wife after retirement and return to the local area, he even gave up his job and stayed behind her, completely becoming her man behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, this is how they get along when they get older.

"Then quickly get out of the way. Seeing Shao Zhengyi and Zhou Yan lower their generation, are you still unaware of your seniority and why are you still not honestly getting out of the way?"

Uh, Shao Zhengyi finally came to his senses, "Ruyi, Zhou Yan and I are brothers, so naturally I follow him and call him aunt. Do you want to be my aunt?"

"Why not?" Shao Ruyi simply sat down at the dining table and patted the chair next to her. "Sister Zhou, sit here."

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Xiang lifted her leg and stepped over her husband's lap, sitting down next to Shao Ruyi. "Tell me, Sister Zhou, what did you eat to grow so tall? I used a lot of tricks to get myself to a height of around 1.6 meters."

"I don't know either!" For the first time, Shao Ruyi didn't feel disgusted when someone asked her about her height. With a height of 1.8 meters and her androgynous appearance, she was often mistaken by girls as a boy and pursued by them. When the girls realized it was a misunderstanding, their first reaction was to attack her height and appearance.

"That's good, that's good. Look at me, I have a lot of strength, but my height limits me, so I can't use it. Fortunately, my family members are all tall, especially my two sons and nephews, who are all over 1.9 meters tall. Only my two nephews are a little short, but they are also around 1.8 meters tall.

I feed them all based on my own height, and I try every possible way to feed them, fearing they won't grow tall enough and be laughed at for inheriting my genes. After all, I get too much attention, and I can't let my children suffer on the outside."

Shao Ruyi glanced at the man who was talking to her cousin on the sofa. He seemed to be a good guy and not the weak and gentle type.

How could Zhou Xiang not notice Shao Ruyi's little trick? She lowered her head and chuckled. How could her nephew be any worse? He had the tough looks of his elder brother, but also the soft eyebrows and lips of Xianxian. Hehe, and that's not even the front view!

"Zhou Yan, Shao Zhengyi, come over and sit down. Let's order the food first!" Zhou Xiang pointed to the opposite side of her and motioned her nephew to sit opposite her so that Ruyi could see more clearly.

Shao Zhengyi and Zhou Yan sat down opposite. Ling Ran looked at both sides and had no choice but to sit down on the man's side.

Sitting face to face, Shao Ruyi looked at Zhou Yan without hesitation. His angular face, high brow peaks, slightly raised eyebrows had a hint of charm, and his slightly sunken eye sockets, high nose bridge, and soft lips neutralized the toughness of his face.

He is not the tough guy type like his cousins, nor the popular pretty boy type, but the face type of her favorite Hong Kong star Young and Dangerous. In addition, he seems casual and friendly, but has a sense of alienation that is difficult for others to detect. Very good, she likes this blind date. She wants to see what he will look like after peeling off that layer of potential alienation.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly. Shao Ruyi's eyes were too presumptuous, as if she treated him as a prey. He didn't like it, so he naturally resisted it subconsciously.

Even Shao Zhengyi beside him felt it. Shao Zhengyi looked at his face, then at the look in his cousin's eyes opposite him, and naturally understood. He was also a man, and when he met a woman who looked as if she wanted to eat him alive, he would also feel disgusted.

"Ahem," Shao Zhengyi coughed to interrupt his cousin's sharp and pointed gaze, "Ruyi, have you given instructions to the kitchen?"

Shao Ruyi regained consciousness and restrained her previous reckless indulgence in her imagination. "I've already asked the kitchen to arrange it. It will be done quickly."

"What's going on?" Zhou Xiang listened to the conversation between the brother and sister and asked, "Does this restaurant belong to you?"

"It's opened by my second cousin's wife," Shao Ruyi replied, "This private room is reserved for us relatives for a long time."

No wonder! Three or four people could fill such a large private room. Thinking of the decoration outside, Zhou Xiang had another topic to talk about, "Who designed this restaurant?"

"It's me." A voice came from the door of the box, and a woman of medium build and pretty face walked in, followed by a waiter holding a tray.

"Second sister-in-law." Shao Ruyi exclaimed in surprise, "How did you find time to come here?"

"Big brother and little sister are here for dinner. As the host, shouldn't I come and keep them company?" The woman smiled and looked at Zhou Xiang. "I'm sure this must be Boss Zhou Xiang, right?"

Zhou Xiang stood up and stretched out his right hand, "Yes, it's me, hello!"

"Hello, hello!" The woman smiled brightly and extended her right hand to greet Zhou Xiang. "Boss Zhou, I'm very curious about you. The design inspiration for this restaurant comes from your exhibition hall in Xu Town."

"Really?" Zhou Xiang was surprised. "I was wondering why this place looked so familiar! Come on, come on, sit down and talk."
