Not long after, an old man who looked like a butler ca out of the door and cupped his hands. "This old man is the butler of the Han estate. Master ordered for Master Li’s living room to be invited for a chat." Li Qiang followed the steward in leisurely, while Niu San respectfully waited outside the door, seemingly treating Li Qiang as his master.
When Li Qiang entered the living room, he saw that the furniture was all made of precious wood and had an antique design. With just one look, he could tell that the owner of the furniture was soone extraordinary. At this ti, a person walked out from behind them. He looked to be in his fifties, with a square face, a heavy jujube face, a slight beard on his chin, a purple suit, and a green jade thumb ring. He looked dignified, probably standing outside Han.
When Han Congan saw Li Qiang, he carefully examined him before cupping his hands. "I heard that young master ca to propose marriage. This old and useless one is extrely grateful, so I’ve invited young master to co to the banquet. Whether this matter succeeds or not, we can be friends." Li Qiang thought, "This old boy really knows how to talk. No wonder he beca the richest man in Eight River Town."
He stood up and cupped his hands. "This one has heard of Steward Han’s great na and has heard of his great na before. This one admires and admires him greatly, so this one has co to propose marriage. I hope that Steward Han will grant my wish." "If my daughter wasn’t a complint from my father, she is indeed an outstanding and good girl. But even so, Young Master Li should have heard about her. My daughter is a spoiled child and has a strange temper, so I can’t say if I can marry you. If I offend you in any way, please forgive ."
Li Qiang said with a smile, "This old man is being too courteous. I ca here with sincerity to propose marriage, and I have no intention of doing so. So I hope that you can help ." Han Congan nodded his head and said, "Then we shall take our seats first. This old and useless one will treat young master to a al before we talk about the blind date." Li Qiang thought, "My top priority right now is to get my first wife. What kind of a banquet would that be? Isn’t it a waste of ti?" Han Congan saw the troubled look on his face and asked, "What is it, is there an urgent matter, young master?" Li Qiang hastily shook his head and said, "Of course not. I won’t be courteous at all if you’re invited by soone other than Han."
At this mont, the large table in the side hall was already filled with steaming dishes. Outside of Han, he was indeed one of the wealthiest families in Eight River Town, but he could see that all kinds of dishes were prepared with the best ingredients. They were not the sa as what Li Qiang ate in the restaurant.
Li Qiang originally had no interest in eating, but he was attracted by the tasty dishes and moved his chopsticks a few tis. The two of them, on the other hand, got along rather well with each other, and after three rounds of drinking, Han Zhong’s face suddenly darkened as he asked sternly, "Little brother, may I ask, why is your intention of coming to the Han Family to propose when you suddenly ca to the Eight Rivers Town? Could it be that there is so other reason? "
The atmosphere had changed drastically. Even the servants standing around them had a trace of killing intent on their faces. They were no longer as respectful as they were before. Li Qiang thought, "Looks like this old brat isn’t a good person. He clearly wants to lie to him?" "It’s not that easy." Li Qiang lightly smiled and said: "Old mister, you don’t need to say that. I ca to the precious place for my first ti and am indeed famous. I also want to find a suitable wife for myself, with absolutely no intentions of teasing you."
He did not know what was on his mind, but Li Qiang said in his heart, "This is the most crucial mont. The reason why Han was so bluff is simply to probe and see my sincerity, if I reveal my guilt, this old man will definitely kick out, so you must maintain your calm, and do not expose yourself right now. Since you want to have enough wives, this first business is the most important, it cannot be abandoned midway."
For a long ti, Li Qiang looked at Han Congan with a smile. Finally, Han Congan nodded and said, "You, as a junior, don’t seem to be a liar. Whatever, I’ll let you et my daughter. However, our future developnt depends on whether she can agree or not."
Li Qiang said with a smile, "Of course. It’s only right that we have a mutual love for a marriage. We can’t just casually do it." "Take Young Master Li to the backyard and inform the young lady to co see him," said Han Congan to a servant. Li Qiang did not dare to say more as he followed behind the servant. After passing through a few courtyards, they arrived at a back garden. The servant placed Li Qiang in a pavilion, and two pretty maids ca up to serve Li Qiang fragrant tea.
And then, the servant said respectfully, "Young master Li, please wait a mont. I’ll go invite the young lady over." Li Qiang nodded and said, "Go ahead, I’ll wait here." Li Qiang glanced at the two maidservants beside him. They were both around the age of 15 or 16 and were both delicate and pretty. Not long after the servant left, he heard footsteps nearby. Li Qiang responded and looked over. He was stunned. A beautiful woman wearing a light green robe walked out from the depths of the flowers. She was also looking at him right now.
Li Qiang was stupefied as he thought to himself, "Legend has it that this Miss Han’s looks are indeed outstanding. It looks like it isn’t a lie, but why can’t such a beautiful woman get married? Could it really be a matter of personality?" Before he could say anything, the beauty said coldly, "If you are a smart person, you should leave quickly. Don’t waste your ti here, I only ca out to see you to listen to my lord father, but there is one thing you should rember, there is no hope between us."
When Li Qiang heard this, he was stunned. "Miss, why do you say that? We don’t even have a short ti together, so why do you think we have no chance?" When Miss Han saw Li Qiang respond so directly to her, she actually felt sowhat surprised. With a mild tone, she said, "You’re such an uninteresting person. I already told you that it’s impossible between us, so why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Li Qiang said, "Miss’s words are wrong. The ancient saying goes, ’Yun is the cause of trouble’. I ca here because of my na, isn’t Miss being too heartless to ?"
Miss Han coldly snorted, "Do you think I, Han Xuan, am a fool? All these years, among those who have proposed marriage, who didn’t covet my family’s property, when we first arrived, they all swore an oath to join hands with , but in reality, they are all just dreams of a man getting rich. I’m not necessarily married off, so why would I want to help you, bunch of rich people.
Li Qiang suddenly laughed out loud, "I think Miss Han has probably been bitten by a snake for ten years, or else how could she be so cynical? You’re right, there are many n in this world who are very bad, but you should also know that all the n in this world aren’t what you think. If you view the world like this, then how bleak life must be for you.
Han Xuan coldly snorted and said: "You’re quite a quibble. Since you said that you’re different from others, how are you going to prove it to ?" Li Qiang smiled and said, "This thing needs ti to be verified. As long as Miss gets along with for a while, I guarantee that you will understand ." Han Xuan shook her head. "I don’t have the ti to accompany you, so you should leave. Let’s not waste any ti."
Li Qiang said, "Has Miss Han never had feelings for any man? You want to live your life as an old woman of the Han family who’s being mocked? " Hearing this, Han Xuan flew into a rage. "Your words are becoming more and more unpleasant to listen to. Don’t say those words in my ear." Li Qiang said, "Miss, please listen to . Although your actions have no effect on yourself, you haven’t even left the pavilion at such an age. Could it be that Master Li has a lot of face? You can’t just consider yourself."
Han Xuan seed to be moved by his words. After a long while, she finally said, "How about this. If you can promise one thing, I will be able to interact with you for a while and see if you have the strength to marry or not." Li Qiang nodded and said, "Alright, Miss, feel free to say it. I’m willing to do anything for you." "I want you to kill soone for !" Han Xuan said. Li Qiang was scared out of his wits and said in surprise, "Who does Miss want to kill? It’s not a good thing for you to have such a strong killing intent at such a young age. " Han Xuan curled her lips, and said: "You seem to be soone who has been in the battlefield for a long ti, but why are you speaking in such a childish manner?" Killing people in the martial arts world today is as easy as cutting vegetables, why do you have to make such a big fuss over nothing? "
