Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Soon, the day of the family reunion dinner arrived.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhou emerged from the barren mountain, where the strategy system had already established a connection.

Meanwhile, the attack methods have also been prepared.

If there really is a cultivator like Chen Zhou, and he absorbs the spiritual energy of the barren mountain, the strategy system will directly retaliate!

The little figure happily sat on Chen Zhou's shoulder.

She waved her little fist: 【From now on, please call me the Conqueror Fairy!】

After loading Chen Zhou's attack methods, the strategy guide felt like he had wasted his time using the system.

Halo is trash, just something lying around on the side of the road.

If you want something truly practical, then our Immortal Cultivation Array is the way to go!

Now, she can beat the regret system to a pulp!

Chen Zhou didn't bother with this stupid system and drove home.

The Chen family.

At this moment, only Chen Xin is at home.

Chen Ming, as the main character tonight, was already at the scene early on.

Chen Mu, Tong Xiao, and Chen Ya conducted a final inspection of the venue and gave instructions to some security personnel to prevent any potential trouble.

When Chen Xin saw Chen Zhou return, she quickly brought out a hot meat pie from the kitchen: "Have this to tide you over?"

Chen Zhou took it, smiled, and ruffled her hair: "Xin Xin understands me best."

Chen Xin put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said with a smug look on her face, "Of course."

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "So, have you memorized the energy circulation route?"

"You didn't follow along with the videos I sent you while I was away for the past few days, did you?"

Chen Xin gave an awkward smile and tentatively asked, "Brother, practicing martial arts is tiring. Can you make it a little easier?"

The action may seem simple, but it is actually quite difficult to do.

Not only does it take time, but I'm always drenched in sweat after each session.

Chen Zhou: "I'm already planning to give you the medication, and you're not even willing to do any preparation?"

Chen Xin stuck out her tongue: "Then why don't you mention my sister and parents? They haven't mastered it either."

Chen Zhou smiled slightly: "Because you're the only one without any important matters to attend to, so you have the most time to practice."

Chen Xin exploded: "Brother!"

Chen Zhou took a bite of the meat pie, swallowed it, and continued, "Even if you call me 'brother,' there's no way to skip this step for you. I'll keep an eye on you from now on."

Chen Xin stood on tiptoe, put on a sad expression on her beautiful face, and said in a affected tone, "Brother, you've changed. You don't love your beautiful, generous, cute and charming little sister anymore."

Chen Zhou pressed him down with one hand: "I've never loved you."

Chen Xin covered her face with her hands: "So... all these years of feelings were ultimately wasted?"

Chen Zhou was silent for a moment: "A drama queen."

Chen Xin chuckled: "Alright, stop fooling around. I'll go get the clothes your mom ordered for you tonight."

"Say it," Chen Xin said, and then ran off to get clothes for Chen Zhou.

"I think you're so despicable right now," said the little strategy character sitting on Chen Zhou's shoulder.

From her perspective, the moment Chen Zhou placed his hand on Chen Xin's shoulder, he absorbed the luck that Chen Xin had accumulated during this period.

Chen Zhou: "With her current strength, if she were to carry too much luck at any point in the story, it would be controlled. The current situation is just right."

The strategist, while absorbing the luck Chen Zhou had just taken from Chen Xin, said: "This still doesn't change the fact that you're despicable."

Chen Zhou: "Shouldn't you watch your attitude?"

The little strategist waved his hand: "We're different. I already had your permission. Unlike you, who seems to be chatting with your sister but is actually absorbing her luck."

After saying that, she added: "[Scum! Utterly scum!]"

Chen Zhou: "Whatever you say."

While the two were talking, Chen Xin had already taken off her clothes and pants.

Chen Zhou glanced at the clothes and immediately recognized that the material was the kind that you would never wear again after wearing it once.

It looks nice, but it's only good for making a show of things.

Chen Xin handed the clothes to Chen Zhou: "Mom told me to tell you that the Wang family from Kyoto will be sending people this time, and it's their daughter. She wants you to look presentable and not embarrass yourself!"

On Chen Zhou's shoulder, the little figure sat cross-legged, the golden luck in her hand shaped like a watermelon.

She munched on the food, saying, "Your little sister is coming."

Chen Xin patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder: "Mom really wants you to get married, so handle it well."

Chen Zhou looked at the suppressed smile on Chen Xin's lips: "Keep smiling. In a couple of years, you'll be the one being pressured. I won't be speaking up for you then."

Chen Xin's smile froze, and she could no longer smile.

Chen Zhou took his clothes back to his room to change.

After changing their clothes, the two got into the car together and were driven to the banquet venue.

……

The top floor of a building in Shanghai was the venue for the family reunion dinner chosen by the Chen family.

Many people have already arrived by now.

Once everyone has arrived or the scheduled time has come, Chen Mu will bring Chen Ming onto the stage and announce that Chen Ming is his biological son.

At this moment, Chen Mu was taking Chen Ming to meet his business partners to show how much he valued Chen Ming.

Tong Xiao chatted with the women, while keeping an eye on Wang Yan, who was being approached by the second-generation rich kids from Shanghai.

She has a good appearance and figure, but I don't know what her personality is like.

However, given the Wang family's traditions, the fact that he dared to dye his hair suggests he's not a law-abiding child, and he might get along well with Ah Zhou.

Just as Tong Xiao was observing Wang Yan, Wang Yan was also observing Tong Xiao.

Generally speaking, in families like theirs, men rarely have time to accompany their children as they grow up.

Therefore, a child's personality is very likely influenced by their mother.

Therefore, Wang Yan was trying to deduce what Chen Zhou's personality might be based on Tong Xiao's personality.

After observing for a short period of time, Wang Yan was fairly certain of one thing: her older brother was not a difficult person to talk to.

This is undoubtedly good news for her.

Thinking this, Wang Yan dismissed the second-generation rich kids who were surrounding her like butterflies spreading their wings, and then walked towards Tong Xiao with a glass of red wine.

"Mrs. Chen, I'm very interested in your adopted son. Could you tell me about him?"

Wang Yan spoke directly, and through observation, she discovered that Tong Xiao really wanted to find a suitable marriage partner for her older brother.

Based on the information she had gathered, she discovered that all the women who spoke with Xiao had daughters who were still unmarried.

Therefore, Wang Yan spoke frankly.

Judging from his brother's previous behavior of ignoring any news, he figured he wouldn't be able to say more than a few words even if he forced himself to approach him.

Therefore, starting with Tongxiao would probably be simpler.

However, to her surprise, Tong Xiao's face darkened instantly, and she said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "What did my Chen Zhou do to offend Miss Wang? Why is he trying to cause trouble at this time?"
