As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Not only were Jiang Cheng and Su Wan stunned, but everyone present was taken aback.

"you……"

Su Wan and Jiang Cheng were at a loss for words.

Their eyes were filled with confusion. This incredibly beautiful girl, who clearly came from a prominent family, did look somewhat familiar to them.

But what does it mean to call someone "elder brother" and "elder sister-in-law" right off the bat?

"My name is Gu Jingshi, I'm Aqing's high school classmate," Gu Jingshi smiled slightly and said generously, "and also his girlfriend."

"girlfriend?"

The two were stunned, their eyes wide. When did Shen Qing get a girlfriend, and a rich young lady at that?

Did they mishear?

Also, this is his girlfriend, so... what is the relationship between her and the girl who is staying at Shen Qing's house?

Su Wan subconsciously looked at Jiang Cheng, who was also completely bewildered.

"Damn, that Gu family guy..."

Xie Chong opened his mouth, his expression becoming quite interesting, as if he felt there was going to be a good show. Just as he was about to speak up and join in the fun, Chen Chen, who loved watching the excitement and was hiding by the door, frantically gave him meaningful glances.

He forced himself to swallow it back.

"What a coincidence, I actually ran into my older brother and sister-in-law here."

Gu Jingshi smiled and said, "I originally planned to find an opportunity to pay you a formal visit..."

"No, you don't need to be so polite."

Su Wan subconsciously replied, but then felt something was off, since she didn't know him.

Gu Jingshi continued, "It's just that the occasion isn't quite right today, so I could only come to say hello first and won't bother you any longer."

"Elder brother and sister-in-law,"

She looked at Jiang Cheng and Su Wan, then at Xie's father, "Uncle Xie, I'll be going now. I'll pay the bill."

"I never imagined that you, my niece, were Xiao Shen's girlfriend. He is indeed very outstanding."

Mr. Xie waved his hand, his tone gentle yet earnest, "As for the expenses, there's no need. How can we let the younger generation pay the bill? Besides, I'm the one treating them to a meal."

Jiang Cheng also quickly refused.

Seeing this, Gu Jingshi did not insist. He smiled slightly, turned around and left, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

It seems like they just came to say hello.

At the corner of the corridor, Su Xiaoxiao peeked out, her mouth wide open in an "O" shape as she stared at Gu Jingshi.

"you……"

Gu Jingshi ruffled her hair and said calmly, "I told you not to worry. He's already met the parents. Does he still want to run away?"

She was certain that what she had just seen was Shen Qing's back.

Knowing his personality, she knew she couldn't force him. She had planned a chance encounter, but his older brother and sister-in-law happened to be there.

That makes things even easier; we can attack from the side.

Unfortunately, the unreasonable mother and son had already been frightened by Uncle Xie, otherwise they could have gotten closer to the elder brother and sister-in-law.

Gu Jingshi thought to himself.

However, Shen Qing actually knows the Xie family?

My boyfriend seems to be more than he appears.

"Alright, let's go."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and typed as she walked.

"Hmph, you still let me off the hook, saying Jing Shi and Shen Qing are from completely different worlds. Let me tell you, today is the day I'm meeting the parents!"

Looking at her chat box with her boyfriend Chen Xu, she felt a little smug.

Chen Xu used to be on her side and even helped her come up with ideas, but in the last two days he suddenly turned against her, saying that the two of them were from different worlds and were not suitable for each other.

She was determined to prove that the two of them were a good match!

On the other side, in the corridor.

The Su family, who had been ignored all along, went from being aggressive to being at a loss. Su Yao stammered:

"Thank you, Mr. Xie..."

His mind was a complete mess. Not only was Jiang Cheng, whom they looked down upon, suddenly valued by Shanhe Heavy Industry, but the board members also seemed to know his burdensome underling.

He even has a rich girlfriend? Are you kidding me!

Mr. Xie finally glanced at him. "By the way, you two seemed to be arguing just now. Was something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Su Yao shook his head vigorously, his smile more like a grimace, and said obsequiously, "It's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

There's no need for any special attempt to slap them in the face; a casual question is enough for them to back down.

He quickly apologized to the waitress, startling the young girl.

Mr. Xie nodded, then asked, "Have you finished eating? Then I'll pay the bill for you all."

"Mr. Jiang, see you next time."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Oh, no need, Mr. Xie, I can handle it."

As Su Yao spoke, he ran towards the lobby, almost tripping and falling. Zhang Cuifang's face turned pale and then purple.

"Are you still eating? Let's go!"

In the end, all he could do was yell at the middle-aged man in the private room before staggering away, feeling guilty.

She's wicked, but not stupid. If she keeps acting up, her son's hard-earned job at Shanhe Heavy Industry will be ruined, and he'll have nothing to brag about in the future.

The corridor finally quieted down.

Jiang Cheng and Su Wan were at a loss for what to do. The dinner was over and they were about to leave when Xie Chong stopped them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you probably didn't eat well just now, why don't you eat some more with us?"

Xie Chong said with a fawning expression, "Qingzi is here too."

"Aoko?"

The two looked at the end of the corridor, in the direction where Gu Jingshi had disappeared, and nodded.

The door to the private room opened, and Shen Qing stood not far from the doorway, waving somewhat awkwardly.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

He gave a dry greeting. Chen Chen had secretly opened the door earlier and heard the noise outside, so he was planning to go out.

I never expected to run into my older brother and the Su family here.

But Gu Jingshi suddenly appeared, and he paused for a moment. Then, when Gu Jingshi said "his girlfriend," he was completely unable to leave.

They've already broken up, so what does she mean?

"What's the deal with that girl just now?"

Jiang Cheng and Su Wan stared at him, their posture almost interrogating him. "You have a girlfriend and didn't even tell us?"

"hey-hey."

Xie Chong stood by, watching the show with an air of amusement, occasionally whispering a few words to Chen Chen.

Shen Qing glared at them angrily.

"no……"

Shen Qing stammered for a moment, especially since his elder brother had also seen Shen Qingtang, and he felt that he couldn't explain himself clearly.

Just then, the phone on the table vibrated.

"Big brother, wait a minute."

Shen Qing felt like he had been granted a pardon. He looked down and saw that it was a message from the base, from someone with a cat avatar.

"Demons have appeared on Jingu Street in Heping District. The energy fluctuations are at level F, and there are no fewer than five of them. This is an F-level event. The coordinates have been synchronized."

Once a demon is detected, logistics personnel will sync its location to their phones and then notify them.

However, Xie Chong was on vacation today, so he sent it directly to Shen Qing.

Then, before he could check the coordinates, his phone rang again; it was a call from Sheriff Wang Yu.

"Brother, I'll tell you the details when I get back. Here's the phone number for the Public Security Bureau."

"I forgot to tell you, when I was shopping last time, they said there was a reward for my act of bravery. I think the reward money has arrived, and they asked me to come over."

Seriously, if you don't believe me, ask Chen Chen. You don't need to worry about me, just keep eating.

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran out to answer the phone, looking somewhat flustered, and his expression became serious.

"Big brother, let's continue."

Xie Chong called out, but since Shen Qing had run away, Jiang Cheng and Su Wan naturally had no intention of staying any longer.

Chen Chen asked, "Shall we eat?"

"what?"

"But I haven't gone on a mission yet, have I?"

"Waiter, please pack this up!"
