Tang Yun had always been quite aloof, and there were only two women in the world who truly earned her respect.


    One was her own cousin, and the other was Lin Ruoxue.


    There''s no need to mention her cousin for now, because that''s a woman beyond description with words.


    And as for Lin Ruoxue, setting aside her beauty that made countless women jealous, just the fact that she had taken the Belle Corporation to a higher level within a mere two or three years was enough tomand respect!


    At this moment, Su Chen, this despicable fellow she had always disliked, was actually iming that Lin Ruoxue was his wife, which made it hard for Tang Yun to believe.


    "If you don''t believe it, forget it. Let''s go!"


    Su Chen said nonchntly. He indeed was very eager to go see if that estate was suitable!


    "Are you serious?"


    If Su Chen insisted that Lin Ruoxue was his wife, Tang Yun would tend to disbelieve him further, thinking he was engaging in wild fantasies and daydreams.


    However, Su Chen''s indifferent attitude now made her hesitate a bit.


    "Of course, it''s true. Didn''t you just see me walking out of that vi?"


    Su Chen pointed to the residence he shared with Lin Ruoxue and said:


    "You can ask around if you don''t believe it and see if that vi belongs to Lin Ruoxue."


    With his words, it was essentially confirmed that Lin Ruoxue really was his wife!


    He would never make such a im if she wasn''t.


    Of course, Tang Yun thought this on the premise that she knew Su Chen had a wife, so naturally, if the house he had just exited was indeed Lin Ruoxue''s, it would be natural to assume Lin Ruoxue was his wife.


    Unlike Tang Yun, Du Hanshuang was unaware that Su Chen was married, so even knowing he and Lin Ruoxue lived together, she would at most suspect their rtionship was unusual, never guessing they could be a married couple, or otherwise, she would have already told her sister the explosive news.


    For a while, Tang Yun looked at Su Chen''s face, not quite knowing what to say.


    Lin Ruoxue, his wife? That was too incredible!


    Even though Lin Ruoxue could be considered a wealthydy, she waspletely different from the kind of wealthy woman she had imagined! That kind of woman was every man''s dream!


    Just like he said, that ''soft rice'' truly wasn''t something just anyone could eat!


    "Let''s go, hurry up and take a look at your cousin''s estate."


    Seeing herpletely dazed, Su Chen couldn''t help but remind her.


    "Oh, okay."


    Tang Yun stepped on the elerator absent-mindedly, her mind still in a daze.


    It took a long drive before her mind gradually cleared, during which she nearly rear-ended several times.


    She could only me the shock of the information she had just received for being too great, and she couldn''t help but nce at Su Chen several times, unable to believe it could be true!


    After driving for about forty minutes, they finally arrived near Jiangyang Lake.


    After getting out of the car and walking for a while, they saw an estate that looked very impressive from the outside, standing tall.


    Around the estate, there were only a few sporadic houses that didn''t seem like formal homes but more like temporary resting ces built by fishermen.


    "That estate over there belongs to my cousin,"


    Tang Yun said, extending a delicate finger to point at the estate ahead.


    "Is your cousin from Jianghai? Why does she have an estate here?"


    Su Chen was quite surprised. Why would anyone think of building an estate here?


    Because it was a solitary estate, it obviously wasn''t built by a developer.


    "My cousin is from Yandu. I''ve heard her talk about this estate; she won it in a bet," Tang Yun replied.


    From where they currently were, there was a small slope around 500 meters long they needed to climb to get to the estate, which was also built to facilitate drainage nearby.


    "Huh, won in a bet?"


    Su Chen was slightly stunned when he heard Tang Yun''s words, because the cost of building this mansion was definitely not cheap, at least twenty to thirty million yuan.


    And that such a mansion was won by Tang Yun''s cousin through a bet, he had never considered that possibility.


    For a moment, Su Chen was filled with curiosity about Tang Yun''s cousin...


    "What happened? Tell me about it."


    "I''m not very clear about the specifics, it was just something she mentioned in passing before."


    As Tang Yun climbed upwards, she couldn''t help but exim with admiration:


    "My cousin is truly a remarkable woman. I have never seen anyone like her, although she..."


    "Although she what?"


    Su Chen, seeing her hesitate to continue, asked with curiosity.


    "It''s nothing."


    Tang Yun obviously did not want to tell Su Chen too much about her cousin.


    Seeing that she did not wish to borate, Su Chen did not press further, but he made a mental note of this woman he had never met.


    Soon, the two reached the entrance of the mansion at the top of the slope, right opposite to the onlyke near Jianghai—Jiangyang Lake.


    Standing at the mansion''s entrance, they immediately felt the refreshing breeze and the fresh air.


    What surprised him the most was that he found the True Yuan here was much denser than in ordinary ces!


    He thought to himself that if he cultivated here, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!


    Su Chen guessed that this might be because the ce was close to theke.


    As Su Chen nced into the mansion, he felt that every part of it exuded extraordinariness.


    Not to mention the exquisite materials used, just looking at its feng shui, it was an exceptionally auspicious spot.


    Although his understanding of feng shui was limited, he knew that this was a ce in the true sense of "gathering wind and harboring qi"!


    It seemed that the original owner who built this mansion was not an ordinary person either!


    "Come in!"


    Tang Yun, without the depth of Su Chen''s insights, took out the keys, opened the door, and called Su Chen toe in.


    Upon entering the courtyard, the first thing that caught their eyes was the grassywn, with a narrow path in the middle for walking.


    After winding down the twisting path, they arrived in front of the main building of the mansion, which had red brick walls and flying eaves carved at the top, giving it an ancient and ssic vor.


    Then Tang Yun took Su Chen on a brief tour of the rooms including the basement. Su Chen was indifferent to them, simply taking a casual look around.


    "What do you think? Are you satisfied?"


    After more than half an hour, they walked out of the hall, and Tang Yun asked casually.


    "Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"


    Su Chen said, delighted:


    "Please pass my thanks to your cousin. Tell her I''m very grateful, and if there''s anything I can help her with in the future, just let me know."


    Indeed, from all aspects, the mansion was very suitable for his cultivation, especially since the True Yuan here was incredibly dense, which pleasantly surprised him!


    "Perhaps she might actually need your help in the future."


    Tang Yun said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning, as if alluding to something.


    "No problem!"


    Su Chen replied with a generous wave of his hand, for after all, she had lent him such a wonderful ce; helping out was the least he could do.


    However, at this moment, Su Chen would never have thought that such a small favor would lead to many events in the days that followed; events that were unimaginable at present.


    If one were to look back from a future point in time, many of these events might find their origin in this very mansion and that small promise...
