Xu Mengzhu rested her chin on her arm, watching the scene outside the window recede into the distance without uttering a word.
"Young Master should be at the company now. Give him a call, he'll be back soon."
Lu Zhiyun's voice came through, but the silence remained.
In fact, Xu Mengzhu was vehemently opposed to the engagement arranged by her father, Xu Bowen.
She was even abroad negotiating business when Xu Bowen coerced and lured her back home.
She was also required to meet with He Qinzhou after returning to China, which left her feeling helpless.
"Ah."
Xu Mengzhu gave a faint reply and then said nothing more.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyun stopped trying to make a fool of himself and quietly remained silent.
While He Changfeng was still overwhelmed by the obstruction from the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce, he received a call from Lu Zhiyun.
"Young master, the master wants you to return to the manor."
"what happened?"
The old man rarely calls me back. Last time it was to announce the engagement, but what's it for this time?
"Xu Mengzhu, the daughter of the Xu family, has arrived."
Upon hearing this, He Changfeng's lips twitched.
really.
Calling me back is definitely not a good thing.
Forced blind dates.
Helpless, he had no choice but to temporarily put aside his work and drive his Maybach towards the suburbs.
At this time, inside the He family manor.
Xu Mengzhu is strolling through the mountains and forests.
A moment later, a dark shadow flashed by, and then a burly man in black appeared in front of her.
"Miss Xu, the young master is back."
Xu Mengzhu was slightly taken aback, and slowly followed the other person.
After walking along the winding path through the woods, we soon arrived at the pavilion halfway up the mountain.
He Lintian was sitting on the tatami mat in the living room, fiddling with the tea set in his hands.
Xu Mengzhu keenly noticed that there was another figure beside him, who looked much younger.
However, even with the screen in front of him, it was still impossible to see clearly who it was.
"Uncle He!"
Upon arriving at the entrance to the living room, Xu Mengzhu took the initiative to greet everyone.
At this moment, He Lintian straightened up with a smile. "Mengzhu, come here quickly."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Xu Mengzhu pursed her delicate cherry lips slightly and then walked behind the screen.
Xu Mengzhu's gaze remained fixed on that young figure from beginning to end. She walked past the screen and finally saw that face clearly.
He was handsome and refined, with eyebrows and eyes like ancient sculptures.
Dressed in green, she was ethereal and refined, exuding an elegant and otherworldly aura.
A smile played on her lips, a smile that had a gentle, comforting quality.
Upon seeing the other person, Xu Mengzhu was somewhat amazed.
Because the person in front of her was none other than her fiancé, He Qinzhou!
"Qinzhou, this is Mengzhu. You two met when you were little."
He Lintian's expression was dignified without being angry, and only when he looked at He Qinzhou did a hint of paternal gentleness appear in his eyes.
He Qinzhou looked at He Lintian and nodded slightly.
"Hello, Mengzhu."
He Qinzhou was the first to speak.
At the same time, he also glanced at the other person.
With bare teeth and red lips, her youthful face was adorned with light makeup.
Her skin was fair and delicate, like flawless fairy cream.
Her eyes were bright and clear, and her figure was beautiful and charming.
Almost all positive adjectives are extremely appropriate when used to describe the other person.
That long, openwork silver dress made Xu Mengzhu appear even more graceful and ethereal.
Moreover, He Qinzhou discovered something quite interesting.
The other party turned out to be a cultivator or martial artist.
Although he's only at the Golden Core stage, it's still quite good.
After all, Xu Mengzhu looks to be only around 25 years old.
Reaching the Golden Core realm at such a young age forced He Qinzhou to generously acknowledge the strength of the Xu family's genes.
The Xu family is one of the four major families with ties to the military, and Xu Mengzhu's father, Xu Bowen, is the God of War of the Northern War Zone of the Dragon Kingdom.
His cultivation level was naturally not low, and Xu Mengzhu's level wouldn't be much lower either.
Seemingly sensing He Qinzhou's scrutinizing gaze, Xu Mengzhu also raised her head and met his eyes.
Although the other party's gaze was very forceful, there was absolutely no evil intention in it.
He Qinzhou suddenly realized that he could use Xu Mengzhu to deal with Xiao Tianze.
"Qinzhou?"
Suddenly, He Lintian coughed a few times.
He Qinzhou then came to his senses and looked away.
Seeing this, He Lintian smiled with satisfaction.
My own son, he said he had no interest in this fiancée, but after actually meeting her, he practically had his eyes glued to her.
It seems he has a good impression of Xu Mengzhu.
"Why don't you take Mengzhu for a walk around the manor? I have some things to take care of."
"it is good."
He Qinzhou nodded and then stood up.
As they passed by Xu Mengzhu, she consciously followed He Qinzhou and left.
They took the elevator to the villa, and the two of them went one after the other to the meadow at the foot of the mountain.
"Actually, you don't need to follow behind me. Just relax and be natural."
At this moment, He Qinzhou stopped and spoke.
Xu Mengzhu nodded secretly and stepped forward to He Qinzhou's side.
Actually, she was spying on He Qinzhou just now.
She always felt that the other person was somewhat different from what she remembered.
However, Xu Mengzhu couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
"What exactly happened to this guy?"
Xu Mengzhu frowned and muttered to herself.
"Is Miss Xu very interested in me?"
He Qinzhou's voice suddenly rang out, startling Xu Mengzhu from her thoughts.
She then came to her senses and realized that she had been staring at He Qinzhou for quite some time.
"no……"
Xu Mengzhu felt a little embarrassed, realizing that she had lost her composure in front of others.
"You're my fiancée, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
He Qinzhou gazed at Xu Mengzhu calmly, observing her every move.
"He Qinzhou, let's not beat around the bush. We're quite familiar with each other, do we need to introduce ourselves?"
"Besides, I am a cultivator and martial artist, and you are just an ordinary person. Do you think you are worthy of me?"
Xu Mengzhu said coldly.
When He Qinzhou sensed the fluctuations in Xu Mengzhu's cultivation level, he proactively concealed his own cultivation.
Therefore, in Xu Mengzhu's eyes, He Qinzhou is just an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.
"It's not a question of whether I'm good enough for you or not; it's a decision made by our two fathers to arrange a marriage."
Seeing the other party's reaction, He Qinzhou thought it was normal.
These cultivators and martial artists have always been arrogant and haughty.
Seeing the stubbornness and disdain in the other person's beautiful eyes, He Qinzhou didn't indulge her and directly reached out to pull her into his arms.
Upon seeing this, Xu Mengzhu's expression immediately turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"There are plenty of people watching right now, are you sure you dare to kill me?"
He Qinzhou's voice rang out.
Do you really think I can't do anything to you?
Xu Mengzhu clenched her fists tightly, her soft chest rising and falling slightly.
I feel angry, but I can't express it.
If it were anyone else, Xu Mengzhu wouldn't have shown any mercy; even if she couldn't kill them, she would at least cripple them.
However, the person standing in front of her now was the eldest son of the He family. Xu Mengzhu knew very well that if she made a move, it would easily cause conflict and a fight between the two families.
Thinking of this, even with immense anger, Xu Mengzhu could only force herself to endure it.
Seeing that the other party had stopped resisting, He Qinzhou smiled with satisfaction.
Chapter 255: Joining the Northern Union Guild
He Qinzhou held Xu Mengzhu as they strolled on the lawn.
A pavilion halfway up the mountain, on a terrace.
A hidden gaze was watching the two of them.
Seeing his son and Xu Mengzhu so quickly displaying such close and intimate behavior, He Lintian showed a gratified expression.
With his hands behind his back, He Lintian said to Lu Zhiyun, who was standing behind him, without turning his head, "Call the head of the Xu family and tell him that he has raised his daughter very well. I am very satisfied."
"And the He family will always be the Xu family's best friend."
"Yes."
Lu Zhiyun respectfully responded, then turned and left the attic, sending a message to Xu Bowen as requested by He Lintian.
The two, who were strolling down the mountain, left the villa area and were out of He Lintian's sight. Then, Xu Mengzhu pushed He Qinzhou away.
She glared at him fiercely.
He Qinzhou didn't mind, and just gave a faint smile.
"Miss Xu, there's something else I'd like to tell you."
Xu Mengzhu's expression remained unchanged as she stared at him.
"Recently, our He Group has been extremely troubled by the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce, although it is far from being a serious blow to our He family."
"However, no one wants their money to be lost for nothing."
