Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 503: Just like that moment in time

Mrs. Jiang looked at Gu Feng and continued to ask, "How should I address you?"

Gu Feng replied, "Gu Feng."

Mrs. Jiang asked, "Mr. Gu, do you know if my daughter ever mentioned to you that she actually has a fiancé? Now, the surveillance cameras from the hotel to the streets can’t hide the fact that you two have been in contact. At this point, I can’t let Ruolin marry someone else. Tell me, what are your intentions?"

Jiang Ruolin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

If only her mother had said this sooner, then she wouldn’t have to marry into the Bai Family, and that would indeed be acceptable to her.

Thus, Jiang Ruolin quickly said, "Mom, don’t make it difficult for him. Since I’ve chosen him..."

"Shut your mouth," Liu Mei glared at her daughter and continued to question Gu Feng, "Mr. Gu, do you have a family? How many people? Where is your home? Do you have any Ancestor’s forces, and where might they be located?"

Nowadays, one’s background was judged by their Star System and the regions beyond.

A Star System referred to galaxies beyond Earth, and if it was a large family, they would at least dominate some resource-rich planets.

Most of them ranged from the fourth to the sixth Cultivation Planets.

If your Ancestor’s family was within a Star System, it meant you were considered to be on the third or fourth tier, belonging to one of the more insignificant families.

The Bai Family that Jiang Ruolin was supposed to marry into was from a fifth-tier Cultivation Planet within the Star System.

Whereas the regions beyond were outside the Galaxy, with at least a sixth-tier Cultivation Planet or higher, the most powerful possessing up to a twenty-eighth-tier Cultivation Planet.

Gu Feng said, "I haven’t been in touch with my clan for a long time; I visited my hometown, and they were no longer there. As for my Ancestor, they’ve been long gone."

Before he was sealed, he knew that there were only a few members of the Gu Family.

He didn’t know whether his daughter and son had continued the lineage, but anyway, Gu Feng could no longer feel the familiar auras from the past spreading across the entire Star Domain.

He was quite certain that those people were all gone.

But with billions of individuals in the universe, he couldn’t pinpoint who might be a descendant of the Gu Family as he had never met his third generation.

His Divine Sense could cover the entire Star Domain, and he could transition transmission to any planet that harbored the aura of Earth’s Cultivators. Still, without a Compass, he was incapable of managing any remote "creator" abilities.

Liu Mei understood Gu Feng’s meaning: he had no family, no Ancestor to speak of.

From Gu Feng’s appearance, she could guess as much.

Which scion of a wealthy family would dress like a homeless person? Not to mention the neglected stubble on his face.

This was actually due to Gu Feng rushing back from the sealed space and not having the chance to clean up.

Jiang Ruolin also noticed that there were no signs of a Cultivator’s power fluctuating around Gu Feng; he was clearly a mortal.

Afraid that her mother might nitpick and possibly make her marry into the Bai Family?

She bluntly interjected, "Mom, even if he’s just a mortal, I like him. I’m a Cultivator; I can earn money in the secular world and support him."

Liu Mei gave her a look, "With your talents and gifts, is it not a waste of time to spend a hurried century with a mortal?"

Jiang Ruolin retorted, "But marrying into the Bai Family, I would only ever reach the Fourth Layer Heaven at most."

Liu Mei glared at her, "Isn’t the Fourth Layer Heaven good enough? At least you could enter the ’Original World’ and hold a middle to high-level management position in major companies on planets across the Star System. You would be able to bring back many resources for our Earth clansmen, without having to compete here on Earth over generations."

Jiang Ruolin argued, "What if some High Tier Cultivator takes an interest in me? Do you think the Bai Family wouldn’t send me away? This is commonplace! These great families treat marriage as trivial; if I were gone, they’d simply promote a concubine. Besides, if that day comes, does our family have the clout to stand up for me?"

Liu Mei suddenly fell silent.

As parents, they worried that their daughter was too outstanding and might attract unwanted attention to become someone’s Furnace Tripod.

Yet, they always hoped to help their daughter climb the social ladder to ensure her happiness.

Indeed, perfect solutions seldom exist in this world.

Liu Mei looked at Gu Feng with a hint of compromise, "Mr. Gu, listen up, I won’t object to my daughter following you, but let me make it clear that if you ever abandon her after causing chaos, it won’t just be her coming after you, I will too."

Jiang Ruolin assured, "Mom, don’t worry. If he ever steps out of line, I’ll be the first to kick him out. No one can hurt your daughter."

Gu Feng smiled as he looked at Jiang Ruolin.

Fate really is wonderful.

Round and round it goes, how does it feel like I’m back at the same old story of destiny from my past life?

Just like that, he and Jiang Ruolin were tied together once again.

Gu Feng decided that this time, he would be the proactive one.

"Auntie, don’t worry, even if she kicks me, she won’t be able to shake me off." Gu Feng took Jiang Ruolin’s hand and said to Liu Mei with a sincere look.

Jiang Ruolin’s body trembled violently.

Her eyes, beautiful as bellflowers, glared at Gu Feng with a threatening look: How dare you?

But she couldn’t blast Gu Feng away!

Because if she did, it would give her away.

"Alright then, I’ll head back first." Liu Mei stood up, saying to Gu Feng, "I’ll go back and have a sit-down with Ruolin’s dad for a thought-reform session. When the opportunity arises, I’ll let you know, and you two can go home and face her dad."

With that, Liu Mei got up and walked to the guest room door.

Jiang Ruolin instinctively shook off Gu Feng’s hand and shot a fierce glare at the shameless fellow.

Then she chased after her mother: "Mom, wait for me for a second."

After Liu Mei was caught up, she heard Jiang Ruolin say in a low, embarrassed voice, "Mom, can you give me some money? Gu... Gu Feng is just a mortal, and all the jobs he does are for the mortal class, so he doesn’t make much."

Liu Mei rolled her eyes at her, "Didn’t you say you’re a cultivator and could make money?"

Jiang Ruolin said, "I can make money, but just give me some rent money, I can earn the rest myself. I can do alchemy, metallurgy, crafting."

"You with your jack-of-all-trades, master of none skills, just make sure you don’t end up buying a bunch of materials and waste money." Despite saying that, Liu Mei still lovingly took out a card and handed it to Jiang Ruolin.

"This is private savings I’ve been praising, there’s over ten million in it, that should cover your rent in Shencheng for a year."

Jiang Ruolin smiled gleefully, wrapping her arm around her mother’s and cooed, "Thank you, mom. You’re the best."

Liu Mei cleared her throat, "All I can say is that I’ll try my best to persuade your dad when we go back. If he minds that your boyfriend isn’t a cultivator, then there’s nothing I can do. You’ll have to earn money yourself to buy him a Spirit Cleansing Pill, to see if you can salvage him."

Jiang Ruolin said, "Got it, mom. Come on, I’ll walk you out."

After Jiang Ruolin returned to the guest room, she said to Gu Feng, "No matter what, I should thank you. This card has millions in it; take it as a thank you gift: go away, and we’ll be square."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Ruolin’s phone rang.

It was her best friend from childhood, Chen Ke.

"Holy crap, what’s going on? Who’s Gu Feng? Why did auntie ask me to keep track of you and your boyfriend? What’s the situation? Since when do you have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Ruolin let out a wail of despair.

Then she told Chen Ke the whole story and said, "Do you think I should let him leave now?"

Chen Ke laughed, "It’s up to you. Anyway, if auntie asks me to check on you and finds out there’s no one with you, don’t blame me. You can explain it to her yourself."

Jiang Ruolin was furious, "Chen Ke, I realize you’re really a ticking time bomb by my side! What kind of karma did I have to become best friends with you? Whose side are you on?"

Chen Ke sighed, "Ah, all fear comes from insufficient arsenal."

Jiang Ruolin: "Get lost."

Then she hung up the call and saw Gu Feng about to reach for the card, not that he accepted Jiang Ruolin’s proposal, he was just curious about what bank cards look like now.

But Jiang Ruolin snatched the card away first: "Let’s go, time to eat."

Gu Feng: "I need to take a shower."

"You!" Before Jiang Ruolin could stop him, Gu Feng had already entered the bathroom, and his shirt was already off.

Gu Feng, seeing her hesitate to speak, turned and asked, "Do you want to join?"

Jiang Ruolin’s face turned instantly red, "In your dreams! Hurry up."
