Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 840: The Mystery of the Mother
Aunt Sun knew that Aunt Wang and the others were coming, so she prepared the room early.
When Su Chen brought Aunt Wang home, Aunt Sun and Aunt Wang chatted a bit and found they got along very well, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.
The two little girls immediately ran to their rooms to see how they looked.
He originally wanted the two little girls to attend school in Yandu with him. He had mentioned this idea to Aunt Wang in Jianghai yesterday.
Aunt Wang then spoke to the old master of the Lin Family about it, but surprisingly, the old master was firmly against it!
The reason for the refusal made Su Chen feel both amused and exasperated; the old man said that having the kids around would be too noisy and disrupt his and Lin Ruoxue's baby-making plans!
The old man said that the two little girls could come over after they had their own child, but until then, they should stay in Jianghai under Aunt Wang's care!
For the old master of the Lin Family, his greatest wish at present is for Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen to quickly bear fruit in their relationship!
This morning, Su Chen even called the old man specifically to bring up the matter again.
To his surprise, the old man scolded him instead, urging him to hurry up and give him a grandchild to hold.
Given Su Chen's current status, the old master no longer sees him as a mere son-in-law.
With no other options, Su Chen could only repeatedly assure him that he was working on it before hastily ending the call.
This means, after the winter break, Su Chen will have to send the two little girls and Aunt Wang back.
Fortunately, travel is convenient now, and it's just a few hours by plane between the two places.
He's already taken care of his affairs in Yandu, so he'll have more free time in the future, and he can bring them over for short visits during holidays.
.....
Su Chen stayed in the living room for a while before returning to his room. He took the iron box from the secret compartment again, then retrieved the mottled, jet-black token.
Shengyi Gate had sent people one after another to try to take the token from him, which was enough to indicate its significance!
But what exactly is so extraordinary about it?
Su Chen studied it for almost an hour, still without any breakthroughs.
His brows furrowed deeply, then suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Why not try True Yuan?"
With that thought, he slowly channeled a few strands of True Yuan into the token through his palm. At that moment, something astonishing happened!
The True Yuan could only penetrate the surface and couldn't go any deeper, as if some restrictive force was blocking it!
"This token truly is peculiar!"
Su Chen murmured, "Mother, what exactly did you leave me?"
He was increasingly curious about his mother's identity, sensing that there was a huge conspiracy surrounding it.
However, so far, his knowledge of his mother, aside from their time together during his childhood, was only a name—Mu Tong!
It seems all the mysteries still revolve around Shengyi Gate, and according to that girl Yan Xi, Shengyi Gate used to be called Shengmen. It changed its name after some incidents over twenty years ago!
"Brother Su, where are you?"
At this moment, Xiao Xun's voice came from outside.
Su Chen quickly put the token back in the iron box, then lightly jumped up and placed the box back in the secret compartment.
"You little girl, what are you shouting for?"
Su Chen walked out of the room and said teasingly.
"I thought you went out!"
Xiao Xun pouted, responding.
"Where are Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun?"
"They seem to have gone out to buy groceries together."
"Where's your sister Ruohan?"
"Over there."
Xiao Xun pointed towards the direction of the stairs.
Su Chen turned to look and saw little Ruohan sitting there, deeply engrossed in a book.
"Ruohan, what are you reading?"
Su Chen walked over and sat down beside her, asking with a smile.
"Tui Bei Tu."
Little Ruohan showed Su Chen the cover of the book and continued reading.
Hearing this, Su Chen was at a loss for words, marveling at the little prodigy!
A 12-year-old girl reading Tui Bei Tu, who would believe it?
"Can you understand it?"
Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Of course; it's based on Zhou Yi (the Book of Changes)!"
Little Ruohan responded naturally.
Once again, Su Chen was speechless. He had heard from the Lin Family that this little girl was easygoing most of the time, but as soon as she read something interesting, nothing and no one could distract her.
Talking to him at this moment was already quite courteous; even her mother, Lin Wenting, rarely received such treatment!
"Hehe!"
At this moment, a burst of laughter sounded. Su Chen looked up to see Xiao Xun holding a tablet, wearing headphones, and watching cartoons!
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, noticing that the two little girls were like two extremes: one was utterly pure, and the other...
In any case, they seemed like total opposites!
Soon, Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun returned with groceries, and began preparing dinner.
However, because Aunt Wang had just gotten off the plane, Aunt Sun asked her to rest on the sofa while she took over the cooking.
Actually, Aunt Wang had insisted on going to the market earlier; Aunt Sun originally wanted her to stay at home and rest.
Seeing nothing else needed his attention, Su Chen went back to his bedroom upstairs to start cultivating.
Now, Su Chen both hoped to reach the Meridian Expansion Realm early and feared it a little.
Because once he reached that realm, he had no idea how to proceed with his cultivation, a problem he currently had no solution for.
Lin Ruoxue knew that Aunt Wang and the others were coming, so she came back immediately after work, bringing Yan Xi along as well.
In the evening, everyone gathered for a lively dinner, though it was the two little girls who made the most noise.
Su Chen noticed that Xiao Xun had become much more lively compared to the first time he met her.
He still vividly remembered the stubborn little girl who insisted she was sick in front of him.
He still had no clue about the strange energy inside Xiao Xun, so he planned to ask his old ghostly master when he visited in a few days.
Although many people were staying at the villa, there were enough rooms. By ten o'clock, everyone had retired to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day, Su Chen didn't go to work; instead, he took the two little girls out to play. Yan Xi, too, couldn't resist her childlike urges and insisted on coming along, so Su Chen let her join.
The four of them played until dark, during which Yan Xi got along well with the two little girls.
The only issue was that little Ruohan kept calling Yan Xi "childish," making her feel quite embarrassed.
That was to be expected; for a girl like Ruohan, few people could ever meet her high standards.
After dinner, Su Chen suddenly received a call from Yunlong, saying he wanted to meet and discuss something.
Su Chen was curious about what Yunlong could want at this hour, but he still went immediately...
