Not to mention the issues with Huaxia, just having the unique Nine Heavens Pavilion would allow her to stand out economically, wouldn’t it?

Even without Nine Heavens Pavilion, the properties she possesses are enviable. Since when has having a car and a house become something to boast about?

Moreover, when it comes to her siblings on that side, they didn’t ask for anything when they got married, did they? She pushed for a grand ten-mile red dowry to leave a beautiful memory.

True love doesn’t consider material conditions. Likewise, when material conditions become capital, one shouldn’t expect love to exist. It turns into a business from the start, rather than a relationship.

Emotions are never something that can be measured with value and profit.

In her calm expression, there was no other emotion, just a hint of relief. It didn’t look like a face an eighteen-year-old girl should have.

"Seems like my looks have caught Miss Luo’s attention, huh?" Mo immediately saw the calculation in the man’s eyes and, with a smile, got closer to Luo Qianqian, blinking his glassy eyes that glittered uniquely under the sunlight. "I’m truly honored to receive such high praise."

Luo Qianqian’s forehead was filled with black lines. Her high praise was purely due to this face, with features similar to Yan’s, making it impossible to offer any negative critique.

He Wenyu also noticed something, listening to Qianqian’s tone. It was clear this person thought that meeting Qianqian was a great fortune for him, self-righteously superior?

Instantly, he too showed a sneer: "Our An Hao is the youngest and didn’t show off anything."

An Hao, although a bit confused, nodded his little head quickly: "I don’t show off." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Luo Qianqian was covered in black lines. What are you two contributing to the chaos for? One’s a close friend, the other’s a dear little brother...

"Ahem..." Deng Ming naturally shifted his gaze forward. Because he was looking up at the sky, the suppressed laughter on his face disappeared, and his expression returned to normal.

After carefully examining these four men, he nodded in approval: "They really are quite good-looking, aren’t they? Where did you find so many handsome young men?"

Owing to the previous ’father-daughter’ bond with Old Master Deng, Deng Ming naturally treated Luo Qianqian like a younger member of the family.

"Haha, envious, aren’t you? It’s because of my great character, envy won’t get you anywhere." Luo Qianqian grinned widely.

He Wenyu instinctively rolled his eyes, quite speechless. Does this person really not know what modesty means?

But after glancing at the man across, uncle.

This is still good, as being young means there’s still room for change.

You can’t possibly think like this uncle, believing that having money, a house, and a car allows you to get a young, pretty, and capable girl.

"Don’t even think about older guys preying on the young." Deng Ming calmly patted Sun Yukun’s shoulder, laughing: "The Little Grass still needs to photosynthesize; don’t deplete the nation’s plants and flowers."

Luo Qianqian is only eighteen; even at twenty-eight, she wouldn’t be someone this person could desire. Her ability is evident, and moreover...

The people around her are so exceptional, so why be with someone ordinary?

When others were unaware, Luo Qianqian’s necklace flashed, possibly due to the angle of the light, casting a glint on Sun Yukun’s face.

"My mom said." Luo Qianqian suddenly smiled with a hint of mischief: "Even in modern times, one should pay attention to social status. This way, there’s no hierarchy in the future, and everyone interacts equally."

"Mom is right." An Hao immediately nodded.

"So, at least the status and wealth should be similar to mine..."

"Ahem ahem..." Deng Ming looked rather exasperated: "Can you get a bit more realistic? Whose status matches yours with more money? Those with more money have far lower status. Don’t dream, okay?"

What he didn’t know was that he was aware of the Spirit of Jade that was swapped through properties, and his parents insisted on notarizing it with Luo Qianqian to prevent regrets...

Although the property prices have skyrocketed, now the Spirit of Jade is simply priceless.

Nine Heavens Pavilion doesn’t even take reservations; it’s all based on Luo Qianqian’s whim when they’ll release something.

"I feel my mom is right." Luo Qianqian said earnestly: "Uncle Deng wouldn’t marry the daughter of a shrew, and I wouldn’t marry a phoenix man."

"Qianqian, how can you look down on phoenixes?" He Wenyu looked troubled. Feng Xi is the most popular in Nine Heavens Pavilion, without exception.

She’s beautiful and talented. If Qin Wen wasn’t around, she would surely be pursued by everyone as a goddess.

Now, she’s just a goddess, and no one dares to pursue her. If you provoke Qin Wen, the consequences are severe.

Provoking Qin Wen is equivalent to provoking Qin Liang and Qin Nuan, which means provoking Adeline and Luo Yanran.

Adeline is backed by Rashal, and Luo Yanran is backed by the managers of Nine Heavens Pavilion...

Can you afford it? No, you can’t.

"Not the same thing." Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched: "This ’phoenix man’ is a ’golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop,’ who has left a relatively poor living environment but still retains many simple views and traditional thoughts. When they marry a local city girl and live together, sometimes they have different views, leading to constant familial conflicts. Moreover, they often try to outperform peers, siding with parents in disputes between wife and parents, frequently harboring relatives who take advantage and are bothersome—basically, men who can’t refuse with a firm hand."

"That’s a real insult to phoenixes..." He Wenyu said, very displeased.

Luo Qianqian agreed that mountain chicken would be more suitable.

However, it was evident that Sun Yukun didn’t think so. He felt they were talking about him.

His face became somewhat distorted, yet he maintained a gentleman’s demeanor, not revealing his thoughts on the spot.

"Hmm, meeting you all here by chance is kind of fate. How about I treat you to a meal?" Sun Yukun looked at Luo Qianqian with intense eyes.

Although Luo Qianqian obviously rejected him, it wasn’t hard to catch a hint from Deng Ming’s words—Luo Qianqian was extremely wealthy.

This alone was enough to stir his heart. While his family’s house was under his name, it was just sixty square meters with three people living there...

The house in the compound wasn’t his to control. With money, he could own a house outside, but with current property prices, he couldn’t afford it.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched. How thick-skinned is this person?

Then she turned to Deng Ming: "Uncle Deng, want to join us? We’ve booked a table at the Shangqi Club today."

"Sure, I’ve never been there. I heard the price isn’t cheap," Deng Ming responded without surprise, knowing Luo Qianqian held a membership card there.

But Sun Yukun’s eyes lit up after hearing this. Shangqi Club? He hadn’t been to such a high-level place before.

Previously, he had been busy with research, but he had heard about such places. Instantly, he looked at Luo Qianqian with even more eagerness.

Luo Qianqian gave a calm smile: "After all, Mr. Sun is treating us. We’re still young. We obviously can’t pay the bill, right?"

"How could you say that? Are you suggesting I pay?" Deng Ming almost instantly caught on to Luo Qianqian’s intention, immediately laughing and cooperating fully.

Upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Sun Yukun paid no heed. It’s just a meal, after all. He could afford to treat them. His previous blind-date meals cost three to five hundred yuan, and with more people today, it might be two to three thousand. It’s worth it to have Luo Qianqian look at him differently.
