Chapter 33 That Person
"Because that person can't wait any longer..."
Xu Qingyan asked tentatively, "Is...is he about to die?"
Xu Qiang sighed, "I guess so! The last time we met was over twenty years ago. He was already my uncle's generation then, so living to this age is quite an achievement. It's true, he should be worried..." Xu Qiang spoke with a hint of regret, realizing that no matter how talented or ambitious a person is, they can't escape the shadow of death...
Xu Qingyan was somewhat surprised, "Huh? Did that person know you before, Dad? Was he an elder from the previous generation in our Willow Leaf Village?"
"It's not really accurate to call him 'him,' anyway, not many people know about him. They're all basically dead now, and apart from me, probably very few people know he existed..."
"Dad isn't telling you now for your own good. You're not at the point where you need to know his identity yet; knowing too much wouldn't be good for you! I was actually a bit too hasty; I shouldn't have been so impulsive."
"Why?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Xu Qiang's usually gloomy face. "Isn't it all because of you, you brat! You're already twenty-one years old, and who knows what you'll be doing in the future! I have to plan things out for you! Son! Remember, as long as we do this well, our class will rise a few ranks."
You need to understand, what's the point of having money! The most important thing for a man is power! As long as you wield power for a while, you can have anything you want.
Hearing Xu Qiang's words, a flame of desire ignited in Xu Qingyan's eyes. He was already a man with great desires, and now Xu Qiang had aroused them to their fullest extent...
"Dad, I know, don't worry! That little girl Ye Ran will never escape my grasp in this lifetime. I'll be hanging around her a lot lately. Once she marries into the Xu family, we can do whatever we want with her!"
Xu Qiang gave him an approving look. "As expected of my son! You must remember, a man is always the head of the household, and once a woman marries a man, everything she has will be yours!"
"Dad! How am I supposed to find that thing?"
"I don't know either, but that person said that you'll know once you see it."
"Is it because she's very pretty, or is there some other reason?"
"It must be something very precious. Anyway, that person said that it looks unlike anything else in the world."
Xu Qingyan nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, I will be careful."
The conversation ended there, and Ye Ran gradually awoke from this long dream...
She lay on the bed in a daze, quietly processing everything from her dream.
First, let's skip Lu Yi's matter for now. Judging from what Xu Qiang and his son said, there is indeed someone behind them.
This person is quite old and may be dying soon, so he's frantically searching for something that the Bai family owns...
Judging from their conversation, even they didn't know what this thing was or what it looked like. But after listening to just a few sentences, Ye Ran had a strong intuition that they were looking for the jade pendant on her chest!
Ye Ran reached out and gripped the jade pendant tightly; she knew all too well its magical properties…
