In Zhonghai, Wang Wanjin, the richest man, has led a life full of legendary ups and downs.
During the two years in Youdu Prison, Qi Dengxian took good care of him, and his ability to overturn his case and see the light of day again was closely related to Qi Dengxian.
Despite his young age, Qi Dengxian was like a second parent to him.
"Mr. Wang, thank you so much for going out of your way to pick me up at the airport," Qi Dengxian said with a smile.
"Second Master, you're too kind. This is the least I could do!" Wang Wanjin laughed heartily, "I’ve prepared a gift for you, two bottles of fifty-year-old Maotai."
Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Qi Dengxian was taken aback, "Why prepare a gift for me?"
Wang Wanjin chuckled, "You're going to propose, right? You can't go empty-handed. I've kept these two bottles of fifty-year-old Maotai for years, just for you!"
Qi Dengxian thought it over and agreed; he couldn't show up at the Qiao Family empty-handed.
Qiao Guotao was his elder. Back then, his father helped Qiao Guotao start his business. After Qi Dengxian and his father were expelled from the Qi Family, the Qiao Family supported them for a while.
The woman his father wanted him to marry was Qiao Guotao's daughter, Qiao Qiumeng.
Qi Dengxian, carrying his luggage and the two bottles of Maotai, walked into the grand courtyard of the Qiao Family. In the living room, Qiao Guotao, whom he hadn't seen in years, was sitting at the head of the table.
"Hahaha, dear nephew, I received Old Qi's letter two weeks ago and have been eagerly waiting for you!" Qiao Guotao said loudly, full of energy, as he came up to shake Qi Dengxian's hand firmly.
Seeing Qiao Guotao, Qi Dengxian couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Qiao!"
Qiao Guotao said, "You came just in time. You should go with Qiumeng to the civil affairs bureau and get your marriage certificate!"
Nearby, a young girl snorted coldly, her face full of disdain and disgust.
She wore a pure white dress, a delicate golden belt accentuating her slender waist. Her exquisite makeup was stunning, and her long, beautiful legs beneath the hem of her dress were hard to look away from.
Pang Xiuyun, Qiao Guotao's wife, also frowned repeatedly, unable to understand why Qiao Guotao would reject an alliance with the Zhang Family and choose this unremarkable little prison guard!
"Uncle Qiao, isn't this a bit rushed?" Qi Dengxian scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"This was decided long ago!" Qiao Guotao laughed.
Qiao Qiumeng looked at Qi Dengxian coldly, "I didn't expect you to actually become a prison guard, bringing bad luck with you!"
Qi Dengxian nodded at her with a smile, "Qiumeng, long time no see."
Looking at this childhood playmate, Qiao Qiumeng couldn't help but shake her head. Time had shown her that they were from different worlds.
However, her father's orders left her with no choice. But two worlds forcibly merged would eventually shatter, wouldn't they?
Pang Xiuyun pointed at Qi Dengxian and said, "Old Qiao, marrying our daughter to such a toad, what will the relatives think? What will friends say?"
"Look at him, after all these years, he's still just a lowly prison guard!"
"Coming here for the first time, he even brought two bottles of fake wine. Are you sure you want to marry our daughter to him?"
Qi Dengxian said calmly, "Aunt Pang, this wine is fifty-year-old Maotai, Wang..."
Pang Xiuyun immediately sneered, full of disdain, "I have several cases of Maotai at home. Do you want me to show you the difference? Fifty-year-old Maotai, do you know how much two bottles of fifty-year-old Maotai are worth? Can a small prison guard like you afford it?"
Facing Pang Xiuyun's skepticism, Qi Dengxian just smiled and said nothing.
Qiao Guotao shouted angrily, "Enough, this matter is not up for debate! Qiumeng, take Dengxian to the civil affairs bureau to register immediately!"
Qiao Qiumeng was full of reluctance, but she gritted her teeth and went with Qi Dengxian to get the certificate.
"Is this really a marriage?" Qi Dengxian looked at the certificate in his hand, feeling helpless. In the photo, Qiao Qiumeng's face was frosty, not at all like a wedding photo.
Qiao Qiumeng looked at Qi Dengxian coldly, "You need to understand, we are not from the same world."
"You're just a small second-level prison guard, and I am the CEO of Qiao Group!"
"I hope you can be sensible and not have any inappropriate thoughts after getting the certificate. As soon as my father agrees, we'll divorce immediately!"
After saying this, Qiao Qiumeng got into the car, slammed the door, and sped away.
Qi Dengxian watched the taillights of the luxury car, shrugged helplessly. Was he just left behind like this?
And these women, do they only have one line? Not from the same world—could she be an alien?
Qi Dengxian shook his head, then took out a key card from his pocket, muttering, "Forget it, let's settle down first. If that Eternal Night King dares to fool me, I'll hang him in the bathroom for three days and nights when I get back to Youdu..."
When Eternal Night King learned that Qi Dengxian was coming to Zhonghai, he sent him a key card, saying it was for his villa in Zhonghai, claiming it was the best in the city.
Just as Qi Dengxian left the civil affairs bureau, he saw Yu Xiaolong jump out of a Jeep that clearly had a significant background.
"It seems you've married Qiao Qiumeng and become the Qiao Family's live-in son-in-law. This is a good thing for you; at least you'll have no worries about food and clothing in the future," Yu Xiaolong said indifferently.
"None of your business," Qi Dengxian replied with a smirk, disliking her attitude.
Yu Xiaolong's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "As an ordinary prison guard, it's not easy to establish yourself in the powerful Qiao Family."
"Considering we had an engagement before, and it was me who broke it off, I'm giving you a chance to ask for my help."
"Don't feel ashamed about being a live-in son-in-law. Qiao Qiumeng is quite a catch, and many people dream of the opportunity you've got."
"If you need my help to secure your position in the Qiao Family, feel free to contact me."
Qi Dengxian looked at Yu Xiaolong coldly and said, "I've confirmed it, you're really sick!"
"Forget about establishing myself in the Qiao Family, even your Yu Family is nothing but a paper tiger to me."
"Save your superiority; how I live has nothing to do with you!"
After saying this, he walked away.
Yu Xiaolong's expression darkened. She felt guilty about breaking off the engagement and wanted to make it up to him, but he didn't appreciate it.
"You talk big, but if you really had such ambition, why be a live-in son-in-law?" Yu Xiaolong got into her car, stepped on the gas, and the Jeep roared away, even the exhaust seemed to express disdain for Qi Dengxian.
Qi Dengxian made his way to Yunding Villa, a wealthy area in Zhonghai. The villa belonging to Eternal Night King was at the peak of Yunding Mountain.
