Chapter 37 Disclosure
At this moment, the butler robot brought over the juice. Gu Qing stood up, took the juice, and then presented it to him.
Chen Xingheng was somewhat flattered.
"Ah, I... I can do it myself."
Seeing his flustered state, Gu Qing didn't say anything. After the two sat down again, Gu Qing asked him casually.
"Chen Xingheng, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 25 this year, and I have an A+ level awakened talent. I've reached the critical point and will soon be upgraded to S level."
My mother had nine husbands. After my biological father passed away, my uncle took care of me. However, my uncle had his own children, so my position in the family was also awkward.
When I was a child, I almost lost my life several times because of the fights between my brothers, so after I met the eldest brother Bo Chuan, I followed him into the Bo family's training camp without hesitation.
After that, she basically cut off contact with her family, only needing to pay child support on time each year.
There is a regulation that all men must pay child support to their families after they turn 20, until their biological parents die.
This is paid as a percentage of the person's annual income, but families with slightly better financial conditions generally do not accept this child support payment for their sons.
In fact, most families provide resources for their children's training, hoping for better development for them.
It usually involves demanding child support payments after one has grown old and is no longer able to support oneself.
However, this shows Chen Xingheng's relationship with his family.
The Chen family is a prominent clan in the Federation, and for such a powerful family to demand child support from a child who has just come of age speaks volumes about their shamelessness.
Secondly, Chen Xingheng belongs to the abandoned group within this family.
Gu Qing put down her water glass. "Then do you know anything about my situation?"
Chen Xingheng nodded upon hearing this. "I... I asked Zhujian about you, but it was just a basic inquiry. I didn't intend to investigate you. I just wanted to learn more about you so I could get to know you better."
Gu Qing didn't care about any of that.
“I have three husbands now. You should know their identities without me telling you, but I have marriages of convenience with all three of them.”
So I will find three more husbands and then dissolve my engagements with them. Therefore, I probably can't rely on their influence anymore.
When a woman chooses a husband, and a man chooses a wife, he not only considers the two individuals but also their families. In this context, he may also consider the background and influence of the wife's other husbands' families.
Therefore, Gu Qing was also being upfront about the unpleasant aspects of the situation.
Chen Xingheng grinned as he listened, appearing sunny and cheerful, not at all like someone who had been abused growing up.
"I don't care about that. If I wanted to curry favor with the powerful, I would have gone back to the Chen family. Although the Chen family is not in the first tier of the Federation, they are firmly in the second tier."
But what good was that? That family was rotten to the core, constantly emanating that putrid and decaying smell.
"Our home is great, so simple. We're all family here, that's how we feel."
Oh! So they're calling us that now? This person really knows how to take advantage of a situation.
Seeing Gu Qing's uncontrollable smile, Chen Xingheng felt even better. "Qingqing, I'm currently in Bo Chuan's personal guard. Not counting various material subsidies, I receive about 3 million credits a year."
However, these are not important. Our main income comes from resources obtained during the initial exploration, such as usable resources like the crystal cores and furs of mythical beasts.
Various purifying and cleansing plants are distributed according to the work done if they are found by a team, but if they are found and picked by an individual, they belong to that individual.
Aside from my own cultivation over the years, I haven't had any major expenses. I've accumulated over 20 million credits, not because I haven't saved enough, but mainly because I've stockpiled some rare resources.
"I'll hand them all over to you to distribute among your wives."
"It's dangerous, isn't it?" Gu Qing asked while he was speaking.
Chen Xingheng was stunned by his question, then looked at Gu Qing with bright eyes. A warm current flowed from his ears into his brain, into his heart, and filled his eyes.
"It's alright, my supernatural talent is not low, and my beast form of spiritual body is also quite powerful in combat." He said this with a proud tone.
Gu Qing's gloomy mood, which had been lingering since she transmigrated, vanished completely in his presence.
His smile became even more genuine. "Could you show me your beast form? I'd like to see it."
What she liked most about this place, besides the convenient high-tech features, was being able to pet the furry animals.
Chen Xingheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly released his spiritual form, a black and white striped tiger. Because of its high level, it was particularly large and immediately filled up the spacious living room, leaving no room for anyone else.
After coming out, it stretched like a cat.
"You're too big," Chen Xingheng retorted without any politeness.
The tiger merely glanced at him sideways, then its body trembled and shrank by two-thirds. Originally seven or eight meters long, it was now a little over two meters but less than three meters.
In Gu Qing's eyes, it was about the size of a normal tiger from her previous life. It strode onto the carpet with its heavy paws and came to her side, first sitting there and looking at her.
Then it tentatively lay down and inch forward, finally resting its head on her feet. Gu Qing couldn't resist and reached out to touch its forehead.
The big tiger raised its eyes slightly and then lowered them again. Gu Qing placed her entire palm on it and rubbed it hard twice, and then she couldn't stop.
At first, Chen Xingheng watched with a smile as he petted the cat and the big cat, feeling happy that his spiritual body hadn't scared the other party.
But gradually his smile faded. His spiritual body was somewhat worthless; he was being hugged, kissed, and rubbed against, and he was squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
Completely unconcerned, his partner now sat awkwardly to the side like a bystander. And Qingqing, it was as if the person who had just felt sorry for her wasn't her at all.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he coughed lightly twice. "Qingqing."
