Even as the old man casually glanced at Su Sangeng's face, Su Sangeng subconsciously straightened his back.
Su Sangeng never expected that even after so many years on the battlefield, Elder Lian would still have such a murderous look in his eyes!
"You have to ask Cheng Gu himself about the marriage proposal. I can't make that decision for him."
The program and Su Shuang served tea and snacks to the guests.
Seeing that Elder Lian did not refuse, Guo Wenjun felt hopeful and looked at the program with kindness and gentleness.
"Programmer, how about I introduce you to a potential partner?"
"Commander Guo, I have a fiancée!"
The program rejected the request without hesitation.
"You have a fiancée?"
Guo Wenjun looked at Su Sangeng with a puzzled expression. He didn't know that Cheng Xu had a fiancée.
Su Sangeng was also completely bewildered; he had never heard of Cheng Xu having a fiancée!
The program calmly replied, "I am engaged to Elder Lian's granddaughter."
Su San was so startled that the water glass in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Elder Lian, you've found them?"
Old Lian shook his head and said, "We haven't found it yet."
Su San breathed a sigh of relief; he had said that Elder Lian would never be able to find them.
He searched for so long but couldn't find it.
How could Old Man Lian possibly find him?
In front of Su Sangeng and Guo Wenjun, Cheng Xu declared, "My second life was given to me by Elder Lian, and my other half can only be Elder Lian's family."
Guo Wenjun asked, "Do you have any news now?"
"No news!" Cheng Xu said calmly. "If I can find Elder Lian's family and they have a granddaughter, I will marry Elder Lian's granddaughter. If I cannot find Elder Lian's family, I will adopt a child to carry on the Lian family line."
Su San never imagined that Cheng Xu, this seemingly honest and simple boy, would be so cunning.
He even regretted bringing Guo Wenjun along to discuss Su Shuang and Cheng Xu's marriage.
The failed marriage proposal ironically allowed Cheng Xu to demonstrate his loyalty to Elder Lian.
If even Lao Zhen leaves everything to the program, wouldn't he end up with nothing?
"Program, you've really thought things through."
Su San concealed her inner unease, but outwardly praised the program without showing any emotion.
It's true what they say, a barking dog doesn't bite.
He would never have paid any attention to procedures before.
Even this marriage proposal was something Su Shuang herself was unwilling to do, saying that Cheng Xu was just a servant and didn't know when he would ever get ahead.
Unfortunately, the program has now pledged its loyalty to Elder Lian, and given Elder Lian's personality, he will definitely promote the program.
The program has ascended to great heights, and now Su Shuang is no longer worthy of it.
"I'm still young, and I have a lot to learn from you," the program replied flawlessly.
Su Sangeng wore a gratified smile on his face, but in reality, he already regarded the program as an enemy that was plundering his resources.
“You don’t need to learn from me. You should learn from Elder Lian.” The more uneasy Su Sangeng felt, the more humble and respectful he appeared. “I have already benefited greatly from learning from Elder Lian for a short period of time.”
With his hands on his cane, the old man sighed, "I'm getting old. The world now belongs to you young people."
"Mr. Lian," Guo Wenjun said, looking at Chengxu with tender eyes, "you still have to wait to see Chengxu's wedding."
"Yes, I'll be waiting!"
The people in the courtyard continued chatting for a while longer.
It wasn't until Old Man Lian was so sleepy that he closed his eyes that the program finally escorted Su Sangeng and the other two out of the hospital.
When the procedure was completed and the courtyard gate was closed, and the staff returned to Elder Lian's side, Elder Lian opened his eyes again.
A sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Program, did you do this on purpose?"
Lian Lao has lived with the program for a long time, and he knows exactly what the program is thinking.
"Mr. Lian, I'm serious."
“If I can find your family, and you have a granddaughter, I will marry her if she is willing. If she is not willing, I will take care of her as a younger sister.”
"If you don't have a granddaughter, but only a grandson, I will do everything I can to help him!"
"If I really can't find them, I will adopt a child from an orphanage when I am thirty-five to carry on the Lian family line."
This was a plan that the program had been pondering for a long time.
However, he never said it aloud.
If Su Sangeng hadn't brought Guo Wenjun to force him into marriage, he wouldn't have revealed his plans.
"Programmer, you're so stubborn!"
Even the old man felt a complex mix of emotions he couldn't quite put into words.
He once groomed Su Sangeng as his successor because they shared the same background.
They came from humble backgrounds, and they had no way out but to fight with their backs against the wall.
But Su Sangeng's later actions made Lian Lao realize that everything he had done was just his own arrogance.
Su San is not him.
He will seize every opportunity to climb the ladder by any means necessary.
To Su Sangeng, he was nothing more than a stepping stone.
The procedure is different from Su San's.
He thought he probably wouldn't go blind twice in his life.
Fine!
He'd accept it even if he went blind twice.
Who told him to be so blind and misjudgment of people?
"Old Lian, my stubbornness comes from you."
After a long silence, Old Lian said, "Program, the task of finding my wife and children is now in your hands."
"good."
The program responded readily.
"I will find them, I will definitely find them."
Old Lian handed a brown paper bag to the program, saying, "Programmer, take these things and go."
The program shook its head.
"No, I have to stay."
Old Lian waved his hand.
"There's no need for that. I'm not going to die anytime soon."
