Chapter 706: The many facets of life

Liu Yuntian looked at Leng Xuan with a grin and said, "I was thinking, if you could become my grandson-in-law, you could help lighten the burden on my granddaughter’s shoulders, and I wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore."

Leng Xuan was taken aback, then responded with a wry smile, "Grandfather Liu, how come you’re bringing up this topic again. Besides, whether your granddaughter would fancy me is another matter altogether. She might already have a boyfriend, the overseas scene is much more liberal than here."

"Don’t worry." Liu Yuntian immediately reassured him, "My granddaughter listens to me. Although she does have high standards, don’t sell yourself short—you’re far better than all those rich heirs and family scions. And you don’t have to worry, she doesn’t have a boyfriend at the moment. I’ve already told her that if she brings home a foreign son-in-law, she can forget about coming back home. Just give me the nod, and I’ll handle things on my granddaughter’s side. With you and I working together, do you think we can’t handle her?"

Leng Xuan was astounded. Elder Liu really was quite formidable in his role as a grandfather. He couldn’t help but laugh inwardly and said, "Grandfather Liu, who talks about their own granddaughter like that? From the way you speak, it’s as if she’s some unrelated woman. If she heard this, she would be so hurt. Besides, you don’t know me all that well. How can you be sure I’m suitable?"

"I’ve lived for decades; I still have some ability to judge character," Liu Yuntian said with a laugh, "Moreover, given that you’re able to keep a straight mind in front of a stunning woman like Ling Xuejiu, that speaks volumes about your character. Leng Xuan, you really must not let me down. I have a lot of confidence in you."

"Let’s talk about this matter later. The current situation is rather tense, and I’m not in the right frame of mind." Leng Xuan said, "Grandfather Liu, regarding the part of your assets you want to give me, I still maintain my refusal. Actually, my interest in venturing into the investment field isn’t aimed at making a profit, but rather to develop my own business and establish a goal, to try out different lifestyles. Although I am a Cultivator, you must understand that without experiencing the full spectrum of life, the mortal world, one cannot comprehend a higher level of Cultivation understanding."

Liu Yuntian agreed, saying, "You’re absolutely right. In ancient times, it was said by high monks, ’How can you transcend the mundane world if you never enter it?’ Leng Xuan, based on your words alone, this old man has taken yet another look up to you." He pondered for a moment and continued, "Well then, since I’ve said that I would give you part of my assets, I certainly won’t retract that offer. However, I’ll hold onto those assets for now, and if you ever need them, you’re welcome to approach me anytime to request them. In addition, if you encounter any worldly trouble in the future that’s inconvenient for you to handle, you can have Liu Corporation take care of it. And from now on, you can use the power and connections of Liu Corporation as you wish—I’ll inform the staff below." He then gave a phone number, "This is the contact information of a trusted confidant of mine, his name is Hu Zhong. You can reach out to him whenever you need anything."

Facing Liu Yuntian’s actions and his unwavering trust, Leng Xuan truly didn’t know what to say, flattered and slightly moved. After jotting down the phone number, he said, "Grandfather Liu, I’m very grateful for your kindness towards me, but I also hope that our relationship isn’t just one of benefactor and someone showing gratitude. I grew up without parents, so I regard you as a grandfather, a family member. If there’s anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know, don’t hesitate."
