Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1232 - 367: Heaven’s Blessing

Chen Yan squinted his eyes and scrutinized Liu Jianshan up and down, nodding slightly. His originally chilly expression revealed a hint of gentle smile: "Alright, it seems effective. Mr. Liu Sr., please sit down."

Liu Jianshan breathed a sigh of relief internally.

Afterward, Steward Liu personally brought the tea, while Liu Zhaoming stood behind Liu Jianshan, not taking a seat — this gesture showed ample respect to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan had just taken a sip of tea when he saw, outside the reception room, Liu Jianshan’s wife — the dignified lady referred to as Aunt Yun — walking in, followed by the Liu family’s young lady, Miss Ah Ruo.

Aunt Yun seemed much better, wearing a moon-yellow cheongsam. As she walked in, she let Ah Ruo take her arm, came to the table, and first smiled at Chen Yan: "Hello, Mr. Chen Jr."

Chen Yan had the best impression of the Liu family’s wife, responding kindly with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Liu Sr."

Aunt Yun slightly raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Lu Sisi, who was sitting beside Chen Yan, feeling a bit reserved: "This must be Miss Lu, Mr. Chen’s girlfriend?"

Chen Yan smiled and said: "Correct."

Aunt Yun laughed: "Indeed, born with a rare elegance, truly unmatched by the mundane. No wonder Mr. Chen is so captivated."

Saying this, she actually came over and sat next to Lu Sisi, reaching out to hold Lu Sisi’s hand, smiling softly: "Such a young and charming girl. Seeing you reminds me of how my daughter Ah Ruo looked when she was young."

Afterward, she took off a jade bracelet, vibrant green, from her wrist, and casually put it on Lu Sisi’s wrist: "A small meeting gift."

Lu Sisi hesitated for a moment, preparing to decline, but Aunt Yun gently pressed down her hand: "Miss Lu, just accept it. Mr. Chen has done great favors for our Liu family, but those are men’s affairs. I genuinely liked you at first sight. It’s just a small meeting gift, not something valuable."

Lu Sisi’s face turned red, while Chen Yan casually smiled beside her, gently holding Lu Sisi’s hand as he spoke: "Since it’s a gift from Mrs. Liu Sr., accept it."

Then they continued making small talk, exchanging pleasantries.

Chen Yan understood that the Liu family was expressing their gratitude and respect.

Liu Jianshan and Aunt Yun, this pair of patriarch and matriarch, Liu Zhaoming the legitimate heir, along with Miss Ah Ruo, are the core members of the Liu family.

Although the Liu family certainly has other descendants, Chen Yan had expressed his desire to keep things low-key, so there was no need to summon all the other descendants.

Having these four core family members present was already showing the full family’s gratitude.

The Liu family was clearly maintaining propriety, with only Liu Jianshan and Aunt Yun taking seats.

Liu Zhaoming and Ah Ruo remained standing respectfully by the sofa.

Afterward, Aunt Yun glanced at Liu Jianshan, then held Lu Sisi’s hand and smiled: "I heard you have been in Port City for a few days now, have you had a chance to explore around?

If you’re bored while the men talk business, I can have my daughter Ah Ruo take you out for some fun. You’re of similar age, young people can get close."

Lu Sisi, being gentle-natured, responded warmly to the politeness shown to her: "I’ve visited some places, yes, but we should be returning home soon."

Miss Ah Ruo then suddenly spoke: "Miss Lu, have you seen the view from the mountaintop? The rooftop terrace at my house offers an excellent view. Shall I take you to see it?"

She continued smilingly: "Also, the latest selections from several jewelry merchants last month are still laid out in my room. If you’re interested, you could look at them and help me pick a few. You’re so pretty, wearing such elegant clothes, you must have great taste."

Chen Yan understood immediately. This was the Liu family’s hospitality, with the ladies entertaining the ladies to allow the men to discuss serious matters.

Lu Sisi felt a bit tense, but Chen Yan nodded to her: "Go ahead with Miss Liu, I’ll chat with Mr. Liu Sr."

Lu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her face still showing a bit of unease, but she stood up and followed Miss Ah Ruo.

Aunt Yun greeted them and left as well, followed by Liu Zhaoming who made the excuse of checking the kitchen preparations for dinner, and departed.

In the reception room, only Chen Yan and Liu Jianshan remained, sitting face to face.

"Mr. Chen, although the words of gratitude were said yesterday, I still need to thank you once again..."

Liu Jianshan had just begun speaking when Chen Yan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Liu Sr., no need for formalities.

Let me be frank, my family’s rule is to take money and dispel calamity.

Your Liu family paid for my services, so naturally I’ll do my utmost to accomplish the task entrusted to me."

He paused, smiling: "Actually, there’s no real business today, but I assume you, Mr. Liu Sr., despite having received the elixir I provided, still have some lingering anxieties.

So my visit today is to ease your mind, hmm... consider it after-sales service."

The phrase "after-sales service" significantly diminished Liu Jianshan’s worries.

Although he hadn’t encountered any problems since waking, the time had already exceeded the previously estimated limit, yet he still felt a bit unsettled inside.
