C50 Cloudwater Manor
Early morning. The morning sun rose, scattering down golden light.
Qianshan Prefecture, East Eighth District, Floating Cloud City, poor people's residential area. At Chu Tiange's home, his father Chu was in the living room using his holographic phone to talk to people on the phone. Chu Mai was in the kitchen making breakfast.
The three-year-old Chu Ling'er woke up, rubbed her eyes, and ran out of her little room into the kitchen, hugging Chu Mai's feet. She raised her head and shouted in a childish voice, "Mom, Mom, why isn't brother back yet?
The little girl was the closest to, and she counted her little fingers for a long time a few days ago. In the end, when she found out that her birthday was coming up, she used her holographic phone to record her own image to Chu Tiange early, asking him to go home and celebrate her birthday.
Today was his birthday, but he still did not see Chu Tiange. This made the little girl anxious, as he had ran into the kitchen to find her mother the moment she woke up.
Chu Mai squatted down and rubbed her daughter's head, then said softly, "Ling'er be good, big brother went to train in the dojo, maybe he didn't go home so quickly."
Chu Ling'er twisted her body, pouting her lips, making her emotional, "En, Ling'er is unhappy, if brother doesn't go home, it will not be my birthday."
The Chu Mai couldn't help but laugh. She pinched her round face and comforted her softly.
"That old man just called. He said that he's having a meal at Cloudwater Manor's home tonight." Chu Shanhai walked in and looked at Chu Mai. He hesitated for a moment, then touched the back of his head and spoke in a low voice.
Chu Mai's face did not look good, and became unhappy, "Why is it a family gathering again, and this time we are here in Cloudwater Manor, didn't your Chu Family only gather once every year for the new year? Don't even ask, this time you are definitely here for the Old Family."
In the past, the Chu Family would hold a family dinner during the new year celebration, and each family would provide a sum of money, but every family gathering was a one-sided show for their third brother Chu Shanchuan's family. The Chu Family's old man and old lady would always praise Chu Shanchuan's family, and they would mostly lecture and lecture Chu Shanhai's family, as if it was specifically meant to criticize Chu Shanhai's family, so Chu Mai was not very willing to participate.
On the other hand, the Cloudwater Manor was the best eatery in the Floating Cloud City. Its consumption was extremely high, easily over ten thousand, and even had to book a table in advance.
Chu Shanhai explained, "It's the Old Clan's Tian Feng. He was fortunate enough to be under the tutelage of a Third Stage Warrior, so ?"
Chu Mai glared at him unhappily, and said, "So your father wants to hold a family gathering to celebrate?"
"Uh, it should be, right?" Chu Shanhai scratched his head.
Chu Mai snorted, not giving Chu Shanhai the chance to look, "Hmph, I think that the gathering is fake. It is true to be showing off to us, but at the same time, strike at us with this, to satisfy their vanity."
Chu Shanhai thought back to his family dinner, and was a little conflicted in his heart. But since the old man had ordered it, and he was a dutiful person, it wasn't appropriate for him to not go, so he felt a headache coming on, "Then, should we go?"
Chu Mai expressed with determination, "Our family is the poorest among the three families, what are we going to do? We are being discriminated against by them. Don't go." Obviously, she had subconsciously forgotten about the ten million yuan that the Zhao Family had compensated her. She thought that her family was just like before, an ordinary family with ordinary economic conditions.
"Mom is so stupid." However, she couldn't remember. Someone could remember that the three-year-old Chu Ling'er always had a lot of memories about money.
Chu Mai stretched out her slightly rough fingers and lightly pinched her nose, "You little girl, why are you so stupid?"
"Our family has money, I have a lot of it. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you." Chu Ling'er twisted his body and broke free from the Chu Mai's demonic palms. He ran into his own small room and brought out a large paper box and opened it with force, only to see that the box was filled to the brim with Heaven's Origin Coins. With a rough look, he saw that it was at least several thousand Heaven Origin Coins.
"Yeah, our family is rich now, it's over 10 million." Chu Mai suddenly thought of something. Her family was no longer the same as before, now that she had money, she looked at the big box that was filled with money. She did not understand, "But Ling'er, where did you get this much cash?"
This was a few thousand yuan, the youngest daughter, Chu Ling'er, was too young, she was only three years old, she herself had never given her pocket money, where did she get this much money from?
Chu Ling'er blinked her big eyes, and said adorably: "It's my brother who gave me the pocket money, I didn't spend any. Let's wait till my brother's birthday to me before spending the money, we still have to go eat hotpot, this time I'll treat you to it."
"My family's Ling'er is sensible now. She's so obedient." Chu Mai revealed a pleased smile, rubbed Chu Ling'er's head and praised.
Chu Shanhai saw that his wife's mood had improved, and immediately grabbed the opportunity to ask for her opinion: "Then for the family gathering, should we still go?"
The family of three was busy in the kitchen, and didn't even notice their own smart security door suddenly open soundlessly. A figure entered the house and headed straight for the kitchen. Soon after, a smiling voice rang out, "Go, of course we'll go."
"Big brother." Hearing the voice, Chu Ling'er was extremely surprised, her small feet quickly ran out of the kitchen, her petite body pounced onto Chu Tiange who was just about to reach the door.
He drove the Sky-splitting Fighter back from the sky for an entire night, and finally returned to the Floating Cloud City. His master, Lu Yuanhang, originally wanted to visit his house, but was helpless as he received urgent military matters midway, so he had no choice but to transfer to the Qianshan Ancient City to settle things there. On the other hand, when Chu Tiange returned to the Floating Cloud City, he first went to a few places, and after making some arrangements on his own before returning home, he happened to hear the conversation of his father Chu and Chu Mai.
"Hahaha, let big brother hug my little princess Ling'er." Chu Tiange carried Chu Ling'er in his embrace, and intimately touched her forehead, and hugged her as he asked, "Big brother isn't at home, is our Ling'er's little princess obedient?"
"Good, I'm good!" Chu Ling'er nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her bright big eyes blinked as if she was an older brother quickly praising and praising her, making her look very cute and cute.
Chu Mai walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Tiange, you're back. Did you hear what I said to your father?"
Chu Tiange nodded his head, and said, "It's a good thing for Tiefeng's cousin to be a disciple of a ranker, we should go and congratulate him, after all, we are a family, we should at least give him face, if not let others say that we do not know how to behave."
Chu Mai thought about it, her son's words were reasonable, so she nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll listen to you.
"Big brother, it's my birthday." Chu Ling'er used her small fists to lightly beat on Chu Tiange's chest, then loudly reminded him, "It's my birthday today."
Chu Tiange laughed and said, "En, big brother understands. Our Little Princess Ling'er has grown up one year, in the future, she will be a four year old child." He really did love his little sister. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed all the way home.
"Big brother is giving me my birthday." Chu Ling'er wrapped his arms around Chu Tiange's neck, raised his little head, and said intimately, "You promised me before, you're not allowed to go back on your words."
Chu Tiange lightly touched her smooth forehead with his forehead. "Alright, let's go to Cloudwater Manor to eat a big meal first. Afterwards, Big Brother prepared a big surprise for Little Princess Ling'er, okay?"
"Alright, I have a big meal and a big surprise. I'm the best." Little Ling'Er's childish voice echoed around the house.
As night fell, the lanterns began to light up. The streets of Floating Cloud City were filled with cars, all kinds of cars were speeding along, and floating aircrafts could be seen streaking across the night sky. The Cloudwater Manor was bustling with noise and excitement tonight.
The Cloudwater Manor was located in the eastern region of the Floating Cloud City and was a famous luxurious dining hall. The guests that came in and out of the restaurant were either rich or noble, the dining hall's ten meter tall golden facade extended from the first floor to form a golden-colored metal front shelter.
The front part of the awning was over twenty meters wide and over twenty meters long. It stretched all the way to the road, and under the illumination of the lamp, it glinted with a dazzling golden light. On it, there were even various patterns of delicacies.
The awning could no longer be called a awning. It was practically an art building with four large stone pillars at each corner.
The stone pillars were covered in super-white glass pillars, and on each pillar, there were some words written in calligraphy: Cloudwater Manor!
On the left, fifteen handsome young waiters, each of them tall and slender, stood in a line, dressed in black suits and cream-colored neckties.
There were fifteen people on the right side as well, but they were all beautiful women dressed in low-cut black clothing. They had beautiful bodies, excellent facial features, and high heels that were all black in color.
Thirty people in two rows.
In the middle of the two rows, there was a five-meter wide passageway. It was covered with a crimson carpet, fine fur, and a simple flower design. There was not a single strand of mixed hair on it.
The lobby of the first floor was a luxurious, light golden floor with flowing water and white clouds as well as other engravings. The roof was nearly ten meters high and hanging a floral shaped chandelier.
Deluxe!
Golden splendor!
Every time a customer entered the restaurant, the thirty people at the entrance would bow down and say in unison, "Welcome."
It was fine for the waiter to bend down, but when the female receptionist in the low-cut black dress bent down, the entire row of snow-white skin on her chest was extremely eye-catching.
Within the hall, there was a large table. Each table was nearly six meters wide. The table was made of transparent yet heavy, golden-edged glass. The table cloth was pure white, and the expensive cutlery on the table in front of everyone looked both luxurious and noble.
Chu Tiange's third uncle, Chu Shanchuan and third aunt, Chen Rong Rong Rong, brought their son, Chu Tianfeng to welcome him together. The father and son pair were both dressed in black, while Chen Rong Rong Rong was dressed in a purplish-red noble woman's dress. Platinum earrings, crystal necklace, and a white jade ring on their finger were flashing brilliantly.
"This battle has caused quite a big ruckus." Chu Tiange and his family rode on the electromagnetic fast train to Cloudwater Manor, and what they saw caused Chu Tiange to laugh out loud, and he said softly, "Looks like the status that cousin Tian Feng has as his master is not low, at least he has a lot of position in Floating Cloud City, if not Cloudwater Manor would not put in so much effort."
Even though he said that, in his heart, he did not take these things seriously. In his eyes, these things were just feints, nothing more than vanity, only his own strength was the most important, what he pursued was the path to longevity.
Chu Shanhai sighed, "How is this even a family banquet? It's clearly a large scale gathering." From the looks of it, the entire Cloudwater Manor was being surrounded, with just this battle, it would be hard to step down without spending hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Chu Mai glared at him unhappily, and said, "That's great, your third brother can show off for a long time now."
Chu Ling'er did not care about anything else, she only knew that today was her birthday, and that she could eat a great meal, and even receive her brother's great surprise. She pulled Chu Tiange's hand and walked towards Cloudwater Manor, "Brother, hurry up, I'm hungry, I want to eat a great meal."
Chu Tiange hugged Chu Ling'er into his embrace, his back straight like a pine. With a smile, he took large strides forward, "Alright, let's go eat a feast."
