Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1448 - 434: [He’s Just Chicken!]

Chapter 434 [He’s Just Cowardly!]

The meal was enjoyable for both host and guest, the discussions were smooth, and the atmosphere was friendly and harmonious.

Liu Zhaoming fully expressed the Liu Family’s goodwill and intention to forge a bond with Chen Yan, while Chu Keqing conveyed Chen Yan’s gratitude and goodwill to the Liu Family on his behalf.

Once both parties had achieved their goals, Chu Keqing stood up to bid farewell, and she was driven away by the Guan Family from the Liu Family.

As Chu Keqing departed, Liu Zhaoming and Aunt Yun accompanied her to the mansion’s entrance, and after they bid farewell to the departing car, the two returned inside.

Aunt Yun glanced at Liu Zhaoming and slowly said, "The goal has been achieved. These two hundred million US Dollars should help forge a bond with Mr. Chen Yan."

Liu Zhaoming thought for a moment and said, "A friendship bought with money might not be very reliable. My little sister, over in Jinling, is said to be getting along well with someone close to Chen Yan..."

Aunt Yun looked at her son and sighed, "You...think too much, have too many ideas. Remember, meals are eaten one bite at a time, and tasks are done one by one.

At this stage, if a friendship can be bought, then let’s buy it first. Once there’s a bond, we can look to foster good relations.

As for my little sister—does our Liu Family need to offer a daughter in marriage to forge connections with anyone?

This matter has come to my attention, and I feel it’s not something our Liu Family should be doing. But if my little sister herself is willing and gets along well with the person, I’m pleased to see it.

However, if it’s purely for forging connections, then there’s no need for the family to sacrifice to such an extent!"

Reflecting on this, Aunt Yun looked at Liu Zhaoming: "When you usually communicate with your little sister, don’t pressure her on this matter!"

Liu Zhaoming sighed, "I’m not the type of person who would sell out my own sister for profit."

Aunt Yun studied Liu Zhaoming carefully. Though he was her own son, now that he had become the leader of the Liu Family, she feared he might be too eager and focused on quick gains.

Aunt Yun pondered for a moment, then spoke with added emphasis: "For a family like ours, already possessing wealth and resources beyond imagination, making money has become secondary.

The right course of action is to only do what is right—that is the true path to ensure the family’s lasting prosperity!

Following the right path, we no longer need to seek shortcuts.

Fostering ties with Mr. Chen Yan is a means to secure insurance for the family, and I support this.

But there’s no need to rely excessively on it.

I understand that having assistance from extraordinary individuals like him might give your business considerable advantages.

But making money should not be done this way. We don’t need to make money this way. Ensuring the family’s stability is sufficient."

Liu Zhaoming’s expression shifted slightly. He bowed his head and remained silent for a moment before sighing deeply, "I understand."

Aunt Yun’s words had a lasting impression.

Because...

When his father was on his deathbed and summoned him for last wishes, he also mentioned Chen Yan, and specifically spoke similar words.

Figures like Chen Yan, these extraordinary individuals, could be befriended for security.

But relying on him for the development of the family’s business and wealth was not advisable.

Mother and son sat in the living room for a while, and each drank a few cups of tea.

Aunt Yun suddenly raised her head and smiled, "Have you noticed that Elder Zi looks a few years younger after not seeing him for some time?"

Speaking of which, she couldn’t help but gently touch her own face, slightly aged, and smiled bitterly: "Indeed, it’s enviable how these cultivators practice their skills to retain youth. Such abilities, any woman under the heavens would be incredibly envious of."

Liu Zhaoming nodded: "Elder Zi, Dean Chu, should probably be in her thirties."

Aunt Yun showed a hint of longing in her eyes: "But she now looks about twenty-something. Two years ago when I saw her, she didn’t appear this young.

Now, look at her skin condition, look at her Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

In these last two years, she’s become younger while my hair has whitened considerably."

Liu Zhaoming thought for a moment and smiled, "Anyway, I need a few days to gather funds, and during these days, Dean Chu should be staying in Port City.

Tomorrow, I won’t make an appearance, and since you’re also a woman, it’s perfect for you to go and bond with her; women have topics you can discuss better, whereas as a man, it’s inappropriate for me to always appear and interact with her.

While interacting, if you’re interested, you might ask her for advice on methods to maintain youth, and perhaps you’ll gain something."

Aunt Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up!

She, of course, is naturally wise and has been a rightful wife in such a prestigious family as the Liu Family for years. Now that her husband has passed, she has become the old matron, with thoughts and strategy that are first-class.

But, being a woman, she still cannot resist such matters.

·

The next day, rather than hosting Chu Keqing himself, Liu Zhaoming sent Aunt Yun, the old matron of the Liu Family, accompanied by the housekeeper, to the hotel to meet Chu Keqing.

Two women, one older and one younger, exchanged very congenially. They went to see the jewelry exhibit, took a stroll among the greenery, and then had afternoon tea.

Aunt Yun set aside her airs of a wealthy matron and very earnestly sought advice from Chu Keqing on methods to retain youth.

Chu Keqing listened, then smiled faintly with sincerity in her tone: "I’ve managed to look younger due to successful cultivation, but this method requires initiating cultivation first. As the old mistress, at this age, not to mention the difficulty in cultivating talent, even with talent, the aging process means vitality declines, and the meridians weaken, making cultivation impossible. Therefore... you cannot use my method."

Although she had long expected it, Aunt Yun couldn’t help but show some hint of disappointment.
