I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 189 Mural
"Then let's go with 414, Auntie, that's all we have."

It's convincing to have both whole and odd amounts.

The young woman in red wrote down the monetary gift, accepted the money, and told them to sit wherever they liked.

Then it dawned on me what 414 meant.

She glanced at Hua Junshu furtively, thinking to herself: This unwanted little bastard thinks he's all grown up now that he has a man.
Pi Hong's aunt pointed to the banquet table,

"Please make yourselves at home, it'll be starting soon."

"But Shushu, your aunt wants to remind you that at your age, it's the time to study hard. Girls should learn to be more independent and self-reliant, fight for their own rights, and it's only right for boys to spend money when they have boyfriends."

“Look at my daughter, your cousin, she’s already pursuing a PhD and will marry someone with a net worth of tens of millions. She won’t even look at anyone with a lower level of education than her.”

Hua Junshu nodded expressionlessly, paid the money, and didn't bother to say another word.

Li Yan liked art and knew it was a mural.

Once they were a distance away, he whispered to Hua Junshu:

"Your cousin is the kind of person who can spot unwanted Shakespearean fragments at a glance. She's just a piece of trash! Don't learn from her."

"I know."

Walking into the banquet hall, Hua Junshu looked around and then looked at Li Yan.

Where should we sit?

"The children's table."

Li Yan offered his suggestions.

Children have small stomachs and eat little. Even if you kindly open two large bottles of carbonated drinks on the table and give each of them a big bowl, they will eat even less.

Hua Junshu nodded. She didn't want to sit at the same table as the adults either; it was too annoying.

When I sat down at the table where there were more children, the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Li Yan and Hua Junshu were both very good-looking, and also quite unfamiliar to me.

Although, apart from the elders who brought them here, everyone else was a stranger to them.

But those who are good-looking are even more unfamiliar.

The desktop became even quieter.

There were three girls of similar age to Hua Junshu. Judging from their demeanor, Li Yan guessed they were vocational school students.

"Hey, aren't you that guy?!"

A young woman with acne on her face, a large earring, and an afro looked at Hua Junshu and said...

"Oh right, the one without parents, you actually have relatives?"

"How are things? Just got back from working out of town?"

The young woman, with a hint of superiority on her face, said, "Without a degree, it's hard to get by outside. I've heard it's a mess, full of all sorts of unspoken rules."

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Yan out of the corner of her eye, seemingly trying to elevate herself by belittling the beautiful Hua Junshu.

Hua Junshu glanced at Li Yan, who shrugged.

"Fine, I guess I'm a male femme fatale too."

"What are you saying? We're all still studying. Shushu is the top student in our school, a candidate for Tsinghua or Peking University."

Upon hearing this, the other two students gasped, while the other children felt much better.

They only say how amazing it is, but they don't contribute to global warming at all.

The young woman was momentarily speechless, then snorted and fell silent.

We're all students, so grades are the most important thing, of course.

She didn't speak, but Li Yan remembered what she had just said.

With a flick of his finger, spiritual energy shot out, condensing into an invisible flying needle that pierced the mentally challenged girl's acupoint for speech.

He's not a bad person, but if he's being rude, he should just shut up.

After being pricked by the magic needle, the young woman only felt a tickle in her throat and coughed once, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

She didn't notice that the cough was completely silent.

They even cough silently; they're so civilized!
Hua Junshu glanced at the mourning hall in the main room a few times, but showed no intention of leaving.

Respect for the dead is paramount; that's impossible.

She had already mentally removed some people from the family tree.

This is why some parents encounter difficulties with their caregivers after their parents pass away.

It's mostly because of my grandmother.

You should know that her father and these people are brothers.

Hua Junshu took a deep breath, dispelling his negative emotions, and looked to his left. His aunt was coming over with her two sons.

"Shushu, why are you sitting here? Go sit over there, we're family."

As she spoke, she mentioned that she had just heard her sister say that Hua Junshu had come, which reminded her of the demolition of Hua Junshu's house.

So she rushed over. Although the man was dead, she received even more money as a gift, so she wasn't too emotional.

She only met men through matchmakers and made do with them; in her view, money was more important.

She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly saw Li Yan standing by the flower tree, and her expression froze.

Then Hua Junshu said:

"no need."

"Alright then, I'll be going now."

The aunt glanced at Li Yan with a hint of fear, but dared not say anything more.

She always felt that this young man was strange.

Ever since that young man taught them a lesson, none of them have had a moment's peace.

For example, her brother, Hua Junshu's uncle.

The house I'd lived in for decades suddenly collapsed. I was unharmed, but half a lifetime of hard work was gone.

I went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with uremia. It scared me to death.

A follow-up examination revealed it was a misunderstanding, and the result was a diagnosis of esophageal cancer!
This time it's for real.

The other two companies also received the same treatment.

Sometimes she didn't dare to listen, for fear that bad luck would befall her.

The banquet was served quickly, starting with hot dishes like braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, which is called "red meat" here.

Then came several cold dishes, such as roast duck and roast chicken that you can buy outside, as well as slices of braised beef, arranged in a circle on a large plate with dipping sauce in the middle.

Some wealthy people will even serve boiled shrimp, or even crab.

Then came glutinous rice balls, eight-treasure glutinous rice, white fungus soup, rice wine, fried skewers, chicken strips and chicken cartilage skewers, etc., which were all side dishes. Then came a few main dishes, including the classic lotus root and pork rib soup.

Li Yan deliberately chose to eat things he didn't eat often, such as glutinous rice, because he was tired of eating it every day.

It's too much trouble to cook at home and eat that much.

And the red meat was really delicious. The kids were mostly focused on the fried skewers and roast duck.

I was embarrassed to pick up a duck leg, but Li Yan snatched it away.

After taking a few bites, I took a picture and showed it to Jiang Yingzhu.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just likes to share his life.

Bamboo: Ugh, you're so annoying!

Bamboo: A bleeding knife

Yan: What? I was sharing something with you, and you're trying to sabotage me? I was actually planning to bring it to you, but never mind now.

Bamboo: You and the other person are not friends yet. Please add them as friends.

Derivative: No red exclamation mark, TD
Bamboo: I'm off, let's go eat.
Jiang Yingzhu tossed her phone aside, patted her bottom, and watched as Mengmeng sat up with a flushed face, then chuckled.

"I told you not to peek."

"I am aboveboard and honest."

"Tch." Jiang Yingzhu got out of bed. "Let's go have a big meal at Wanda Plaza, without Li Yan, that philandering cat."

"Uh-huh."

"Mengmeng, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't know, maybe we should go to the self-service area."

Jiang Yingzhu thought about it and decided to try something different.

"Let's go to the plane trees."

"A Western restaurant?"

"Bingguo is a Western restaurant. I've never eaten Western food before."

Mei Mengqian had eaten it, but she didn't say anything. Although she wasn't used to it, it would be fine for her to try it with Zhuzhu.

As soon as the two of them came downstairs and stepped out of the community gate, Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian stopped in their tracks and frowned.

Ahead, a bright white BMW was parked near the intersection, and a man got out of the car, carrying a small bag.

It was Jiang Ye.

Jiang Yingzhu paused for a moment, then continued walking out, pretending not to see anything.

Beside her, Mei Mengqian recognized Jiang Ye, after all, there were photos in the room.

But she didn't know what to say, so she followed Zhuzhu.

Jiang Ye was caught off guard and rushed to greet his daughter, not expecting to see her so soon after arriving.

"Zhuzhu, wait a minute!"

"what?"

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Dad bought you a present."

Jiang Ye lifted the shopping bag in his hand, which had the logo of Qiqi Company printed on it—a simple, abstract Tai Chi symbol.

"Qiqi Company's skincare family bucket. This company is a brand that has recently become very popular. I heard that even international big brands are envious of their beauty essence! It includes beauty essence, hand cream, shower gel, toner, and body lotion."

"Winter is dry, and young people like you are prone to hormonal imbalances during growth and development, which can cause problems. These things are good for you."

Jiang Yingzhu curled her lip. Giving her Li Yan's unwanted junk as a gift? What an idiot! He deserves to be fooled by that stinky woman!
Mei Mengqian also had a strange expression.

Aside from cultivating immortality, which shatters their worldview, Li Yan didn't hide anything else from them.

It's not that he would tell everyone everything, but if Jiang Yingzhu and the others asked, Li Yan wouldn't refuse to answer.

In short, Jiang Yingzhu and the other person both knew who the real boss of Qiqi Company was.

They also know exactly how these things are made.

Even the best beauty serum is still garbage.

Although Jiang Yingzhu couldn't understand how her childhood sweetheart had become a medical expert, it didn't stop her from eating, drinking, and having fun.

There are also idiots online who are praising Qiqi Company's beauty serum.

And some other products made from beauty serums.

However, Jiang Yingzhu was not going to allow her own husband, Lao Deng, to be infected as well, and that he would be used on her as well.

"I don't need it, you can return it."

"What do you want? Dad will buy it for you."

Jiang Yingzhu thought that Li Yansheng's birthday was coming soon; tomorrow would be January.

So he said one more thing to Lao Deng.

"Heavy motorcycle!"

She remembered that Li Yan had ridden the bike next to her when he left this morning.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye's face lit up with joy, and he dared not emphasize the safety issues of the heavy motorcycle.

"No problem, it'll arrive tomorrow, Zhuzhu, what kind do you want?"

"handsome."

Jiang Yingzhu felt it was about time, so she pulled Mengmeng away.

Jiang Ye, still carrying the bag, opened his mouth as if to say he could give it to his friend, but then sighed and went back.

In the BMW, Shen Qiu glanced at Jiang Ye, who had returned.

"I told you she wouldn't want it, Ye-ge. Even if you're wrong, isn't she right too? If you keep spoiling her, she'll get spoiled sooner or later."

"Hey, you don't understand." Jiang Ye shook his head and casually tossed the bag into her arms. "You can take it."

Shen Qiu's face lit up with joy!
She was disfigured by a stray cat, but thankfully she had the beauty serum from Qiqi Company.

However, the effects of this beauty serum are not long-lasting.

It can even cure common skin problems within a month.

At most, if a person's lifestyle is poor and the condition recurs, they can use the product again.

But since her face was disfigured, she could only continue using it.

Even though the production volume of the beauty serum has increased, the price is still very high.

However, she dared not tell Jiang Ye about her disfigurement and could only use her own money to buy it.

Li Yan truly did not expect that his expansion of the company's product output would indirectly save someone's life as a mistress.

Because of Shen Qiu's sudden visit last time, Li Yan used a new Qi cultivation technique to create a spiritual base station at home, which can cover a radius of one kilometer around his home on a daily basis.

Looking at the smiling woman in the BMW seat in his mind, he thought for a moment, then used his mind to communicate with the several magical artifacts planted on his balcony at home, activating their spiritual power.

Suddenly, several strands of green spiritual energy connected, shooting out a barely perceptible rainbow light that mixed with the sunlight and shone on the face of the woman in the passenger seat.

Suddenly, the car, which was about to start moving, came to a screeching halt. Jiang Ye's surprised voice rang out.

"Xiao Qiu, your face?!"
