Chapter 137: Can't Leave
"Of course it's true!" Charlene's words became more and more reasonable, "This kind of thing is useless even if I lie, isn't it?" ”
With the ability of the Chu family, if you want to find out the truth, just ask Xia Zhentian directly, but it's just a matter of minutes, and it's useless for her to lie.
And with her understanding of Xia Zhentian, that man would not lie to herself.
"Oh? So, do you have to ask for this? Chu Qinglan snorted inexplicably.
"This ......," Charlene looked a little embarrassed, "if you really don't want to...... Or if you feel a little embarrassed......"
Although Xia Lin didn't want Chu Qinglan to be reluctant on her face, if she said this, if Chu Qinglan didn't agree, wouldn't it seem that he, the dignified head of the Chu family, was too incompetent?
"Moreover, although I don't know what is worthy of Major General Chu to guard against such a little woman as me, or even to put me under his nose to rest assured, but if you are really afraid that I will leak something," Charlene bit her lip, her expression a little tangled. "As you, old man, there are many ways to keep me from speaking out, aren't they?"
Doesn't she have to be imprisoned? It's forbidden here.
Moreover, raising a person is more or less an expense, isn't it?
"You little slippery head!" Chu Qinglan scolded Xia Lin lightly, but then snorted coldly. "So, I have to promise you today?"
Charlene spread her hands and made a very bare gesture, "You asked me to make a request, whether I agree or not, naturally you have the final say, right?" As a powerless little woman, I don't have the right to fight with you at all, do I? ”
To put it bluntly, if she agreed, she earned it, and if she didn't agree, she wouldn't have a problem.
People say that when things are bad at worst, they are not necessarily without good, because it can't be worse, right?
At worst, she just continued to be locked up like this by Chu Ci, so it was better to let go and gamble once.
Moreover, no matter what the other party says, he is also a big man, so he won't fool a little woman like her after all, right? If it's really fooled...... Then she really had no other way than to sigh at the other party's credibility and cheekiness.
As for poking out the other party for such an act or something, Charlene never thought about it. This is not my own era, where anyone and anything can be hyped up, and it can't be suppressed.
She fully believes that the Chu family has the ability to cover the sky with one hand, and even more so that people with this mind can't even get out of the door of the Chu family.
"It's not that I can't promise you," Chu Qinglan pondered for a moment and nodded, "But before that, I have a question, I don't know if Miss Xia can answer it?" ”
"What?" Xia Lin blinked, looking at Chu Qinglan with a slightly defensive expression.
"Huh...... Don't be nervous,......" Chu Qinglan chuckled, "I'm just curious, why do you seem to be so attached to a new identity that no one knows?" ”
Xia Lin's little caution was not deeply hidden, and it could even be said that she didn't mean to hide it deliberately at all, how could Chu Qinglan not see it?
Charlene pursed her lips with a frank expression. "It's not that no one can't know, it's just that I'm just an ordinary person, and I just want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life."
At least, I don't want to be held like a prisoner.
"What if I said that I can give you a chance to officially become a member of our Chu family?" With a faint look in her eyes, she skimmed the door behind Xia Lin, and Chu Qinglan asked quietly.
Because after all, she came to meet the elders of a family that controlled a behemoth, even if Xia Lin was ignorant, she carefully put away her mental power, so as not to cause displeasure and unnecessary misunderstandings on the other side.
Therefore, at this time, she did not know the existence of a certain audience who appeared outside the door.
However, hearing Chu Qinglan's words, Xia Lin was really surprised. "Are you kidding?!"
Although she didn't know what kind of status the Chu family had in the Federation, she knew just by looking at the identity of the major general of the Chu Ci Federation that it was definitely not an ordinary family.
And such a behemoth said that he wanted to accept a little orphan girl like himself who could be called a poor country into the family......
Even if her ability is a little special, it's definitely a huge boon for her, okay?
"Old decay has never been a word."
Charlene looked down for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm sorry, old man, but I don't want to lie to you."
Although the name of the Chu family sounds very good, the attraction to a helpless, powerless and powerless person is undoubtedly huge.
But Charlene thinks that she can live until now, and the most fundamental point is that she has enough self-knowledge, which is not something she can control, not something she can have, she doesn't want it.
Countless tragic experiences told her that greed was the beginning of destruction.
Charlene's openness undoubtedly attracted Chu Qinglan's favor. After all, there are many self-aware people in this world, but how many can really give up the wealth and power in their hands?
And more importantly, the person in front of her is just a girl who has never seen much of the world.
If it weren't for her grandson, Chu Qinglan would have hoped that Xia Lin would have been able to get her wish.
After all, with Charlene's character who was too well protected before, it was indeed difficult to survive in Mingyang City. Unless, she can stay in the backyard of the Chu family for the rest of her life.
Chu Qinglan shook her head, put aside the momentary softness of her heart, but she was not angry, but continued to run out of the bait, "What if I say that not only can you become a member of the Chu family, but also can directly become a descendant of the Chu family, and you will definitely not be treated unfairly, but you can enjoy the advantages of all the descendants." ”
Charlene certainly knows what the lineage represents in this era. It is undeniable that even she can't help but be thrilled by this advantage.
But......
"At what cost?" Charlene never believed in pie in the sky.
Seeing that Charlene seemed to be moved, Chu Qinglan's gaze became deeper and deeper, but her face became more and more expressionless.
"Marry my grandchildren." Chu Qinglan was still not salty, but she threw out a piece of news that was tantamount to a depth charge for Charlene and someone outside the door.
"Impossible!" However, without waiting for someone outside the door to react, Charlene's refusal made the other party breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Oh? Why? When Chu Qinglan heard this, she looked at Xia Lin with some surprise, but she was not angry, but glanced at the direction of the door with a bit of schadenfreude.
His grandson, who has always been excellent and has eyes above the top, will actually be rejected one day? It was an absolutely memorable moment.
"Major General Chu, he deserves to be a better person," Xia Lin said frankly, and her eyes were as clear as water, which was really worthy of the four words of sincerity.
But it was in someone's ear outside the door, but it was extremely harsh.
She actually dislikes him?!
How dare she dislike him?!
This woman!
"No regrets?" Chu Qinglan asked.
"No, it won't." Charlene shook her head, without hesitation. What's there to regret about this? Could she really be the daughter-in-law of the Chu family? Don't make a fuss, she has a very low laugh!
"Not afraid of hardship?" Chu Qinglan was not in a hurry, but continued to throw out questions, "You must know that without the support of the family, just relying on the little resources provided by the Federation every month, it is difficult to even cultivate, let alone improve your cultivation." ”
This is also the reason why the infighting of every family in the Federation is very strong, but no one is willing to leave the family lightly. After all, without the support of the family, it is too difficult to succeed.
Otherwise, why not only those who have a poor family background, or even those who have no family to rely on, have a very strong yearning for joining the army, and even many people who are not from a bad background will take the initiative to join the army?
It's just that the Federation army can provide better supplies and support than their families can.
"Don't be afraid." Charlene still shook her head firmly.
Not to mention the immeasurable value of the things she brought back from thousands of years ago in her space, not to mention the things she got from the Yu family, the Xia family, and the Hao Lian family, just the alien plants in her hands are enough for her to be self-sufficient.
After all, her ability cultivation doesn't require too much money, and she is self-sufficient in life...... That was never a problem.
Therefore, the temptation of Chu Qinglan's proposal for Xia Lin was not as great as he imagined.
At least, it's not big enough to make Charlene's heart pound.
"Okay, since that's the case...... Chu Qinglan nodded with a smile, and was going to respond to Xia Lin's request.
"No way!" Seeing the man who broke in by pushing the door outside the door, Chu Qinglan's eyes were full of undisguised banter.
Stinky boy, you finally can't help it, right?
If you have the ability, you continue to hide, continue to eavesdrop!
Hmph, what did you tell him that you want to make Xia Lin and Du Qinglin's kid into a pair, Lao Tzu really wants to make these two people become, wait for you to recover your memory, see who you cry with!
Whenever he thought that after Chu Ci came back, he actually told him that he planned to marry Xia Lin to his subordinate, the young man named Du Qinglin, Chu Qinglan blew his beard angrily and glared.
If it weren't for the clarity in my heart, it would be because I had lost all that memory. Moreover, the results calculated by Elder Huangfu with great effort also showed that Xia Lin was indeed the key to whether Chu Ci could survive that life and death catastrophe, and Chu Qinglan really wanted to fulfill his idea.
He really wants to see how his grandson, who has always liked to go his own way, will end up at that time, will he endure the pain of missing the woman he misses, or will he ruthlessly snatch his wife?
According to Chu Ci's friendship with his subordinates, this choice is really worth seeing.
Hearing someone's voice outside the door, Charlene was stunned for a moment, then turned her head in astonishment, "Chu Ci?" How are you out there? ”
Chu Ci glanced at Xia Lin lightly, but did not answer her words, but looked directly at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, Xia Lin can't leave!" ”R1152
