When he was very young, Su Ming heard that he once had a "fiancée".
Before he was born, the Su and Zhou families had established a solid and mutually beneficial partnership in the business field, which led to an increasingly close relationship between the two families.
In order to further strengthen this bond, the two families came up with the idea of strengthening the relationship through marriage.
Coincidentally, the mistresses of both the Su and Zhou families were pregnant. This coincidence made the marriage plan between the two families even more natural.
The two parties hit it off and decided to arrange a "child marriage" for the two unborn lives, and agreed that if the children were a boy and a girl, the marriage would take effect immediately.
This practice of pre-arranged marriages is quite common in large families.
After all, in these prominent families, marriage is often not determined by personal will, but is more often decided by the elders after weighing the pros and cons.
They are more inclined to choose marriage partners who can bring family benefits or consolidate power. Therefore, it has become a norm to conclude marriage contracts under the leadership of parents.
However, disappointingly, the child marriage that the two families had been looking forward to did not happen.
The two children who were highly expected were both boys. This result made the original marriage impossible and both families had to regretfully cancel the arrangement.
As time went by, cracks gradually appeared in the business cooperation between the Su family and the Zhou family, and the former alliance relationship also quietly changed.
The termination of the cooperation was accompanied by the breakdown of the relationship between the two companies, and the accusations and misunderstandings between them were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and could not be controlled.
As for the reasons for the termination of the cooperation, the two families each held their own opinions and blamed each other, as if they were caught in an endless debate, and the truth became confusing and elusive.
When Su Ming learned that the child marriage was cancelled because both parties were boys, he just smiled indifferently and did not take it to heart.
In his opinion, such a marriage that is hastily concluded without gender confirmation is full of uncertainty, and such a result is reasonable.
Likewise, Zhou Yue had only heard vaguely about the matter. Given the strained relationship between the Zhou and Su families, he hadn't delved into it, even consciously or unconsciously avoiding the subject, unwilling to dwell on a marriage that hadn't even begun.
Afterwards, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, they reached school age. After undergoing a spiritual root assessment, they embarked on the road to study and entered the academy, where their main task was to learn some basic knowledge of cultivating immortals.
At that time, Zhou Yue was diagnosed with a single-attribute earth spiritual root. One must know that those with single-attribute spiritual roots are truly geniuses. Such talent is simply a gift from heaven. If one does not embark on the path of cultivation, it would be a waste of heaven's gift.
When everyone in the Zhou family learned of this shocking news, they were immediately overjoyed, and the entire Zhou family was immersed in joy and excitement.
Afterwards, the Zhou family launched a grand celebration, which lasted for two days.
The head of the family was even more delighted. He personally rewarded Zhou Yue with a precious spiritual weapon, and in front of the whole family, solemnly announced that he would focus on training Zhou Yue and provide him with the best resources and guidance.
On the Su family side, Su Ming has dual spiritual roots. This aptitude is not bad, and he is also very suitable for cultivating immortals.
However, when the Su family heard that their sworn enemy, the Zhou family, had loudly announced that they had identified a genius with a single spiritual root, they couldn't help but feel an indescribable discomfort in their hearts.
It felt like being shrouded in a dark cloud that could not be shaken off. The atmosphere in the entire Su family suddenly became depressing during those days, and the family was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
Su Ming didn't care at all about the depressing atmosphere at the Su family during those few days. He had always been a carefree and open-minded person, and he could always maintain a calm attitude no matter what happened.
He never had any lofty ambitions in his heart, nor was he keen on pursuing those illusory glory and status.
In stark contrast to his brothers, all of them were racking their brains to fight for the position of family head and were full of covetousness for the position.
For power and interests, they are eyeing each other covetously, fighting openly and secretly, like a group of hungry beasts fighting for a piece of tempting fat meat.
As for Su Ming, he had no interest in these fights and had no intention of getting involved in them.
He knew very well in his heart that as long as he did not threaten his other brothers and always maintained a non-competitive attitude, even if other members of the Su family inherited the position of head of the family in the end, they would not do anything to him.
As for his mother, there was even less to worry about. His mother's family was powerful and definitely not a soft persimmon to be bullied. They didn't dare to do anything to his mother easily. After all, his mother's family was not just for free.
Because of this, Su Ming always acted indifferent to everything. Whether it was precious treasures or enviable honors, he did not strive for them. He always lived with an open-minded attitude: if I have it, I have it, if I don't, I don't care.
Until... he entered the school on the first day, his eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd, and suddenly, a figure came into his sight.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, everything around him became blurry, only that figure was clearly imprinted in his eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was love at first sight. At this moment, he knew nothing about this person, not even her name, family background, or any other information, and he had no idea about her personality or temperament.
However, even in such a completely unfamiliar state, an inexplicable throbbing quietly grew in his heart.
