Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

The person who arrived was none other than "Wu Jiaru," whom we hadn't seen in a long time, or perhaps Lu Yunxi would be a more appropriate name.

Behind her was another person, but it wasn't Wu Suyun, the ghost, but a middle-aged man.

He was tall, but somewhat overweight and out of shape; he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

But clearly, "Wu Jiaru" didn't intend to introduce him directly; instead, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"What I wanted to ask you was..."

Shen Qingzhou looked at her hand; she was holding a very thick folder, which meant she must have come here on business.

Before "Wu Jiaru" could answer, the middle-aged man following behind her stepped forward with a smile and said, "Yunxi, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou frowned slightly. He frowned not because the other party called Lu Yunxi "Yunxi," but because of the scrutinizing gaze the other party gave him.

Despite the smiling face, there was no smile in the eyes, and the disdain was undisguised. The way the other person looked at Shen Qingzhou was also unrestrained and extremely impolite.

Shen Qingzhou didn't tolerate other people's bad habits; he would vent his temper on the spot. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Qiu ran back, grabbed his hand, looked up at him with a pleading expression, and said, "Boss, I want to eat that...that pretty cake."

What kind of cake does a ghost eat?

Shen Qingzhou glanced down at her, but didn't say anything, intending to talk about it later.

"Qingzhou, is this your friend?"

Just then, the elevator next to him opened, and Bai Yukui, followed by several people, strode towards him.

The middle-aged man and "Wu Jiaru" standing opposite Shen Qingzhou both showed surprise upon seeing this. Clearly, they knew Bai Yukui, or more accurately, they knew Bai Yukui's identity.

"Oh, this is my girlfriend."

Shen Qingzhou immediately put his arm around "Wu Jiaru's" shoulder, but did not reveal her identity.

Bai Yukui raised her eyebrows slightly and looked Wu Jiaru up and down, while the middle-aged man next to Wu Jiaru's eyes almost popped out, as if he was incredulous.

Seeing that Shen Qingzhou was dressed plainly and had a sinister appearance, he assumed that the two were just acquaintances. In addition, his eldest niece had always been aloof and had never thought of this relationship.

Wu Jiaru didn't break free, and even had a faint smile on her face, as if she was very satisfied with Shen Qingzhou's introduction of her.

"Hello, Mr. Bai, I am Lu Yunxi from Suyunfang. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said, extending her hand.

However, her gaze swept towards Shen Qingzhou, her eyebrows seemingly carrying a hint of smugness, showing no remorse for concealing her real name from Shen Qingzhou.

"Hello there."

Bai Yukui reached out and shook her hand lightly, but judging from her expression, it was clear that she had never heard of Suyunfang.

For a multinational corporation like Yongcheng Group, Suyunfang is probably just like a small workshop, so it's normal that people don't know about it. After all, there are countless fashion brands, and unless they are world-renowned brands, who can remember them all?

"Her mother is Wu Suyun, who founded Suyunfang, which emphasizes elegance and the charm of clouds, focusing on fresh and elegant traditional Chinese style women's clothing..."

Shen Qingzhou took the initiative to introduce Lu Yunxi. This time, Lu Yunxi was dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes looking at Shen Qingzhou in disbelief. It turned out that the other party already knew her identity.

Although Lu Yunxi wasn't exactly his girlfriend, they were, after all, people in the "channel," and Shen Qingzhou was willing to lend a hand as long as it wasn't too troublesome.

"She's here because she has business dealings with your company. If it's convenient, please take extra care of her." Shen Qingzhou was not polite at all to Bai Yukui.

After speaking, he looked at Lu Yunxi, asking her to explain what was going on here.

Just then, the middle-aged man who had been standing silently to the side gently nudged Lu Yunxi with his arm, and then introduced himself with a big smile.

"Hello, Mr. Bai. My name is Wu Qinghe. Wu Suyun is my older sister and also Yunxi's uncle."

Shen Qingzhou then realized that the middle-aged man was Lu Yunxi's uncle. When Wu Suyun passed away, she entrusted her two daughters to him for care.

As for why both Shen Qingzhou and Wu Qinghe mentioned Wu Suyun's name, it's because Wu Suyun is a powerful businesswoman with a considerable reputation and is well-known in various fields; many people know her.

For example, Bai Yukui didn't know what Suyunfang was, but when Wu Suyun was mentioned, she immediately looked enlightened.

"Hello there."

This time, Bai Yukui merely nodded slightly, without even extending her hand.

"Mr. Bai,"

We've come here to…

But Wu Qinghe didn't care and quickly took the initiative to explain the purpose of his visit.

But Shen Qingzhou said rather inappropriately, "You guys chat, I'm going to buy a cake."

As she spoke, she pointed to the cake shop next door, then released her hand from Wu Jiaru's—no, it should be Lu Yunxi's hand.

"Do you want some?" he kindly asked the other person.

But Lu Yunxi glared at him fiercely, as if blaming him for deceiving her, or perhaps complaining about why he was eating cake at this time.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Qingzhou chuckled and ignored her, walking straight towards the cake shop.

But when he got to the cake shop, he suddenly remembered something—he had no money.

So he turned to the two of them, and despite his grievances, said defiantly, "I don't have any money with me, can one of you buy it for me?"

"I'll do it."

The two women spoke in unison, then turned to look at each other.

Wu Qinghe, witnessing this scene, looked astonished, but dared not utter a sound and stood silently to the side.

Seeing the two women's expressions, Shen Qingzhou directly said to Ma Chenggang, who was following Bai Yukui out of the elevator, "Brother Ma, could you pay for me?"

"Okay, okay..."

Ma Chenggang glanced at Bai Yukui and quickly walked to Shen Qingzhou's side.

Compared to the effeminate Zhao Changming, Shen Qingzhou preferred the more straightforward Ma Chenggang.

"Master, you don't deserve to be called Brother Ma. Just call me Little Ma."

"Little Horse? You look much older than me..."

When Shen Qingzhou came out of the store with the cake, the two women had already made up and were standing together chatting and laughing, while Wu Qinghe stood aside with a forced smile on his face.

"Have you bought everything? If you have, we'll set off," Bai Yukui said.

"Okay, let's go," Shen Qingzhou said.

Then, turning his gaze to Lu Yunxi, he said, "I'm leaving now. You go ahead and do your thing. We'll hang out together again when you have time."

The people nearby looked puzzled upon hearing this, because Shen Qingzhou's words sounded a bit strange. What did he mean by "let's hang out together again"? Shouldn't it be "let's meet again," "see each other again," or "let's chat again"?

Lu Yunxi naturally understood what he meant, glared at him fiercely, and nodded slightly.

"I've already spoken to Manager Lin, you can go directly up to him," Bai Yukui said from the side.

It was obvious that she received preferential treatment because of Shen Qingzhou.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Bai." After thanking him, the two headed towards the elevator.

After they parted, Bai Yukui casually remarked, "You already have a wife, why are you still dating?"

"A wife is a wife, and a girlfriend is a girlfriend. How can they be the same? Are they even the same thing?" Shen Qingzhou said confidently.

The three people following behind were filled with admiration upon hearing this, but they all turned their heads away and slowed down in unison.

Bai Yukui almost laughed at his twisted logic and didn't want to continue the conversation. Instead, she looked at the exquisite little cake in her hand.

"I didn't expect you to like this kind of... this kind of cake?"

She didn't know how to describe it; this kind of cake was usually only liked by children or little girls.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou handed the cake to her directly.

Here, have some.

"Did you buy this for me?"

Bai Yukui raised an eyebrow, her face showing surprise, but she couldn't hide a hint of joy.

Then he simply reached out and took it.

"I bought this for Xiaoqiu. She's already eaten it. You can have the rest. It's just that the taste might be a little off," Shen Qingzhou said.

Bai Yukui:......

Just then, Shen Qingzhou's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Lu Yunxi.

The first message was: "See you tonight."

Before Shen Qingzhou could reply, a second message followed immediately: "What's your relationship with her?"

"Brother Ma, you can have the cake, but I don't eat sweets."

Bai Yukui glanced at Shen Qingzhou and waved to Ma Chenggang behind her.

Ma Chenggang quickly stepped forward to take it, and then Bai Yukui said, "Was it sent by your girlfriend? Is she angry because of me?"

Ma Chenggang's face showed shock. Is this the same young lady I know, speaking so sassily?

P.S.: There are two more chapters to go. I have to take my child to tutoring on Sunday, so I'll update both chapters together later. I'll also adjust my schedule and fix the update time later.
