The richest man in the Middle Sea, Wang Wanjin, led a life full of legendary ups and downs, a perfect example of the phrase "great highs and lows."
During his two years in the Youdu Prison, Qi Dengxian took good care of him. Furthermore, Qi Dengxian played a crucial role in his exoneration and return to freedom.
The young Qi Dengxian was like a reborn parent to him.
"Mr. Wang, you're too kind to go to the airport to pick me up." Qi Dengxian smiled and said.
"Second Master, you're too polite, it's my duty to do so!" Wang Wanjin laughed and said, "This is a gift for Second Master, two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai."
Qi Dengxian was taken aback and said, "Why would you prepare a gift for me?"
Wang Wanjin laughed and said, "You're coming to propose to the Qiao family, wouldn't you need some good liquor? I've been cherishing these two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai for years, they're perfect for you!"
Qi Dengxian thought about it and realized that he couldn't go empty-handed to meet his future in-laws at the Qiao family.
Qiao Guotao was his elder, having helped his father start his business. After Qi Dengxian and his father were expelled from the Qi family, the Qiao family supported them for a while.
The woman his father wanted him to marry was Qiao Guotao's daughter, Qiao Qiumei.
Qi Dengxian carried his luggage and the two bottles of Moutai into the Qiao family's courtyard. In the living room, Qiao Guotao, whom he hadn't seen in years, sat in the highest position.
"Hahaha, my nephew, I received Lao Qi's letter two weeks ago and have been eagerly waiting for you to come! I'm so glad to finally see you!" Qiao Guotao said loudly, his voice full of energy, as he shook Qi Dengxian's hand vigorously.
Upon seeing Qiao Guotao, Qi Dengxian couldn't help but laugh and say, "Uncle Qiao!"
Qiao Guotao said, "You've arrived at the right time, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Qiumei and get your marriage certificate!"
From the side, a young girl's cold snort could be heard, full of disdain and disgust.
She wore a pure white dress, a delicate golden belt outlining her slender waist. Her delicate makeup was stunning, her slender legs under the hem of her skirt were captivating, making it hard to look away.
Qiao Guotao's wife, Pang Xiuyun, also frowned, unable to understand why Qiao Guotao would refuse the Zhang family's alliance and choose this unassuming little prison guard!
"Uncle Qiao, this... is a bit too sudden, isn't it?" Qi Dengxian scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"This was decided long ago!" Qiao Guotao laughed.
Qiao Qiumei coldly looked at Qi Dengxian, and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect you to actually become a prison guard, you're full of bad luck!"
Qi Dengxian smiled and nodded at her, saying, "Qiumei, long time no see."
Looking at this former playmate with whom she had a fairly good relationship in the past, Qiao Qiumei shook her head. Time had made her realize that they were not from the same world.
However, her father's order left her with no room to resist. But, how long could two worlds that were forcibly joined together last?
Pang Xiuyun couldn't help but point at Qi Dengxian and say, "Old Qiao, you're marrying your daughter to a toad, what will the relatives think? What will the friends say?"
"Look at him, he's been around for so long and he's still a lousy prison guard!"
"He comes to our house for the first time and brings two bottles of fake wine, are you sure you want to marry your daughter to him?!"
Qi Dengxian calmly said, "Auntie Pang, this wine is fifty-year-old Moutai, Wang..."
Pang Xiuyun immediately let out a scoff, her face full of disdain, and said, "We have several boxes of Moutai at home, do you want to see the difference? You call it fifty-year-old Moutai, do you even know how much two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai are worth? Can you even afford it, you little prison guard?"
Faced with Pang Xiuyun's questioning, Qi Dengxian simply smiled and said nothing.
Qiao Guotao roared, "Enough, I will not tolerate any questioning on this matter! Qiumei, take Dengxian to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately to register!"
Qiao Qiumei was full of displeasure, but she still gritted her teeth and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Qi Dengxian to get their certificates.
"We're married now?" Holding the certificate in his hand, Qi Dengxian looked helpless. In the photo, Qiao Qiumei had a cold expression, not at all like a wedding photo.
Qiao Qiumei looked at Qi Dengxian coldly and said in a detached tone, "You need to know that we are not from the same world."
"You are just a lowly level-two prison guard, while I am the president of the Qiao Group!"
"I hope you'll be sensible and not have any unrealistic thoughts after we get our certificate. Once my father approves, we'll get a divorce immediately!"
After saying that, Qiao Qiumei got into the car, slammed the door shut, and sped away.
Qi Dengxian watched the tail lights of the luxury car and shrugged helplessly, "She just left me here?"
"And all these women, is this their only line? We're not from the same world, is she an alien or something?"
Qi Dengxian shook his head, then took out a door card from his pocket and muttered, "Forget it, let's find a place to stay first. If that Night King kid dares to fool me, I'll hang him up in the toilet for three days and three nights back in Youdu..."
"Night King" had sent him a door card after learning that Qi Dengxian was coming to the Middle Sea. This was the door card to his villa in the Middle Sea, he also said that his villa was the most awesome in the entire Middle Sea.
As Qi Dengxian walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he saw Yu Xiaolong jumping out of a jeep that looked like it had a lot of clout.
"It seems you've already married Qiao Qiumei and successfully become the Qiao family's son-in-law. This is a good thing for you, at least you'll have food and clothing for the rest of your life." Yu Xiaolong said calmly.
"What's it to you?" Qi Dengxian didn't like this woman's attitude, he replied with a sarcastic smile.
Yu Xiaolong's expression didn't change, she continued, "You're just an ordinary prison guard, it won't be easy to gain a foothold in the powerful Qiao family."
"In view of the fact that we had a marriage agreement before, and it was I who broke it first, so I'm giving you a chance to ask for my help."
"Don't feel ashamed to be a son-in-law, Qiao Qiumei is a pretty good woman, many people are after her, you've gotten an opportunity that many people dream of."
"If you need my help to gain a foothold in the Qiao family, you can contact me anytime."
Qi Dengxian's expression was cold, he stared at Yu Xiaolong and said, "I'm sure, you're really sick!"
"Forget about gaining a foothold in the Qiao family, even your Yu family, in front of me, is nothing more than chickens and dogs."
"Please put away your arrogance, how I live has nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, he walked away.
Yu Xiaolong's expression turned gloomy. She felt a little guilty for breaking the marriage agreement, so she wanted to compensate him, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
"He sounds pretty confident, but if he really has that kind of ambition, why would he be a son-in-law?" Yu Xiaolong got in the car, stepped on the gas, and the jeep roared away. Even the exhaust seemed to contain a disdain for Qi Dengxian.
Qi Dengxian went alone to the Yun Ding Mountain Villa, this was the wealthy area of the Middle Sea. "Night King's" villa was at the peak of Yun Ding Mountain.
