Chapter 1034: Chapter 775: Pleasantries (Second Update)
“Alright, then, uncles and elders, we’ll be leaving first.”
Wang Qing took Li Ze’s arm and left.
Not far away, Qian Chengxue, Lin Hai, Lin Xiaoyu, and others were gathered with the younger generation like Ye Wuheng, Ye Wei, and Zhang Ke.
They were in conversation.
Lin Hai said to Zhang Ke, “In the previous battle, I saw that red missile you used, it seemed very advanced, very fast, with strong breakthrough interception capabilities.”
“Haha, that was produced by us, modeled after the Red Tail Snake, although it can’t compare to what your Lin Family produces.”
…
Ye Wuheng smiled at Qian Chengxue and said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, how’s the Chenxi Group doing lately?”
“Thanks for asking, it’s running okay.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in response,
“That’s good, I’ve been quite busy recently, haven’t had the chance to visit you.”
Ye Wuheng had become more composed compared to earlier years.
Standing aside, even though Ye Wei still wasn’t very fond of Qian Chengxue, she didn’t say anything.
“I understand, a lot has happened over the years, why did you suddenly think of transporting goods?”
Qian Chengxue asked curiously.
Ye Wuheng showed a slight bitter smile and replied, “What’s the reason? Whatever situation the Lin Family is in, we’re in the same one. We all have our own mines and core personnel on the front lines, we can’t just watch them die, can we?”
“True, the Xiao Family?”
Qian Chengxue noticed at this time, in the distance, the young generation of the Xiao Family gathered separately, each with a slightly unnatural expression, and not joining the chat.
Ye Wuheng glanced at the Xiao people and quietly said to Qian Chengxue.
“Xiao Jie’s treason is pretty much confirmed, it’s very serious. It’s not just about the interception of the Blue Whale, the attack on the return of the Black Brilliance is also connected to him. As a result, the Xiao Family is heavily implicated, if it wasn’t for Council President Long Ming resigning and letting it slide, the Xiao Family might really be finished. But even so, now the younger generation is unwilling to get too close to the Xiao Family, for fear of being implicated. After all, who can say for sure if there aren’t any more traitors among them.”
Saying this, a look of extreme relief flashed across Ye Wuheng’s face, it’s a good thing he distanced himself from them because of Qian Chengxue.
Otherwise, he’d be in big trouble, as it was, after Xiao Jie’s incident, he was still summoned and interrogated for 48 hours.
“I see.”
Qian Chengxue was a bit surprised, she’d been busy and hadn’t paid much attention to these matters, didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
“Xiao Xue?”
A gentle voice called out.
Qian Chengxue turned her head and saw Wang Qing and Li Ze approaching, with a slight smile on her face.
“Wang Qing.”
“Long time no see.”
Wang Qing said happily.
Qian Chengxue didn’t have many close friends, but Wang Qing could barely count as one, only they had less contact later on.
Standing aside, Li Ze was momentarily dazed looking at the exceptionally elegant Qian Chengxue, his eyes scanning up and down.
“Let me introduce, this is my fiancé Li Ze, Li Ze, this is my good friend Qian Chengxue.”
Wang Qing introduced with a gentle smile.
“Hello.”
Qian Chengxue greeted politely.
“Li Ze?”
Wang Qing noticed Li Ze didn’t react and gave a puzzled nudge.
“Ah, hello, sorry, I was a bit distracted.”
Li Ze apologized as he came to his senses.
“Are you not feeling well, too exhausted from piloting the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha?”
Wang Qing asked with concern.
“You piloted that Pseudo V Gen Mecha?”
Qian Chengxue was also surprised, not expecting the pilot to be so young.
Next to her, Ye Wuheng and Ye Wei also looked at Li Ze with surprise, in fact, the Wang Family’s display shocked not just the Lin Family, but other families as well.
They didn’t expect the Wang Family to have a Fake V Generation Mecha, let alone someone capable of piloting it.
“Are you the expert pilot of that Pseudo V Gen?”
Ye Wei asked excitedly.
“I wouldn’t call myself an expert, just barely able to manage a Pseudo V Generation Mecha.”
Li Ze smiled and said.
“Mr. Li Ze is truly modest, anyone who can pilot a Pseudo V Gen Mecha is considered a top expert within the Alliance, Qinger, you have quite the eye.”
Qian Chengxue also felt happy for Wang Qing.
“Sister Xue, don’t say that, your boyfriend is much more outstanding.”
Wang Qing replied with a happy smile.
Standing aside, Li Ze smiled gentlemanly and said, “I often hear Wang Qing and the elders talk about your boyfriend, heard he’s exceptional, I wonder if he’s on board, I’d love to meet him.”
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile, “Su Mo had something to attend to, so he didn’t come.”
Upon hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Li Ze also looked apologetic and said, “Sorry, we didn’t know he wasn’t here to accompany you. I originally thought that on such a dangerous voyage, wouldn’t a boyfriend stay by his beloved’s side?”
Wang Qing also looked surprised, holding Qian Chengxue’s hand she asked, “Xiao Xue, did you have a fight? Otherwise, why wouldn’t he be here with you?”
“No, he has more important things to do.”
Qian Chengxue responded with a smile.
“What could be more important than the safety of one’s own woman?”
Li Ze said with a firm stance.
At this moment, Ye Wei was looking at the gentlemanly Li Ze, her eyes filled with admiration. In her view, Li Ze wasn’t just handsome and exceptionally skilled, but also very responsible. The most irresistible part was, he was especially gentle and caring.
…
On the contrary, Qian Chengxue wasn’t particularly impressed; she responded calmly, “You don’t need to worry about that.”
Li Ze’s expression froze, he smiled wryly and said, “Apologies, I didn’t mean anything else, just felt your boyfriend’s actions were somewhat inappropriate.”
Since getting into the Wang Family’s good graces, Li Ze often heard Wang Ce and others praising Su Mo around him.
Talking about how strong he was, how exceptional, just a pity he retired due to serious injuries.
What’s so great about a retired person, can he really be that strong, especially when Li Ze could pilot a Fake V Generation Mecha? Even at his best, he could only be on par with me, if not worse.
Originally, Su Mo had nothing to do with him, but being compared to him constantly would annoy anyone. Especially never expecting him to have such a beautiful girlfriend.
Looking at Qian Chengxue, Li Ze’s thoughts began to wander.
Although he was marrying into the family, he had the strength, and in big families having multiple wives was perfectly normal.
If others could, so could he!
At this time, Wang Qing softly said to Qian Chengxue, “Xiao Xue, don’t mind it, Li Ze just speaks his mind, not much for subtlety. After all, he never received an upper-class education, doesn’t understand a lot of things. But he’s a good person and works very hard, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood out from the crowd.”
“It’s fine.”
Qian Chengxue didn’t take it to heart either.
