Chapter 144 Tell me and I’ll help you vent your anger!
"Mr. Cheng, your steak."

After a while, Mary brought a plate of steaming steak. After putting it down, she saw someone coming downstairs and subconsciously wanted to entertain them. However, she took only one step before her father glared back at her.

It was not until then that she realized that Mr. Cheng, whom her father called "Marshal", might actually be a marshal with a large army under his command, rather than just a marshal in name.

Mary, who was originally a little snobbish, was instantly delighted.

With the added bonus of being a marshal, Cheng Long's every move, every smile, every gesture became extremely charming, like a firefly in the dark night, bright as a star and dazzling.

The more Mary looked at it, the more she liked it, and inexplicably she became a little obsessed with it.

At the same time, Uncle Jiu, who received a reward of twenty dollars, said happily: "Boss Qian, I need to go to the kitchen to check if there is any feng shui problem in your restaurant."

"Please come with me."

Boss Qian stood up and looked at Cheng Long, bowing and apologizing: "Sir, excuse me for a moment!"

"Please go ahead~~"

After watching Uncle Jiu and Boss Qian leave, Cheng Long turned to look at Qian Lili who was standing beside him: "It's so tiring to stand here, sit down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng."

Qian Lili sat happily aside.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Mr. Cheng, my dad said you are a great general. I wonder where you are from?"

"I'm from Pucheng."

"Ah~~Then you are..." Qian Lili covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of shock. She never thought that the Marshal Cheng Long whom she admired would appear in front of her one day.

This is incredible!
Three years ago, Cheng Long traveled to Pucheng. He couldn't stand Cao Shaolin's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so he beheaded him in public. The news of his subsequent miraculous operations has been widely circulated.

His reputation has long been known throughout the Central Plains, and countless people regard him as an idol.

Qian Lili is by no means an isolated case.

Boss Qian, who had returned to the table at some point, saw his daughter staring at Cheng Long infatuatedly, and said with a smile, "Mary, don't stare at the Marshal directly, it's very rude."

"Dad, you've finished looking at the Feng Shui." Qian Lili blushed and changed the subject.

Boss Qian sighed: "Ah~ Uncle Jiu said that the Feng Shui is fine, but the business is not good. Maybe everyone prefers to go to Ren's Western restaurant."

"..."

Cheng Long looked up at Boss Qian but didn't say anything.

Boss Qian's Western restaurant business is not very popular. It mainly copies the Western restaurants in Shanghai and Hong Kong, importing them as they are without making any changes. This can certainly attract many young people who worship foreign things, as well as some wealthy gentry who want to be unique.

But such people are only a minority in Renjia Town after all, unlike the Magic City and Hong Kong City which have a huge personnel base.

Therefore, Boss Qian's Western restaurant has always been lukewarm. Since Ren's Western restaurant opened three years ago, it has been making subtle Chinese-style changes, so the business is naturally booming.

After finishing a steak in silence.

Cheng Long looked at his uncle who was eating pork chops and looking at him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, there is no saying that we should not eat four things in our sect. As long as we abstain from meat for one day before we start the ritual, it's fine."

"Daoyou, I worry too much."

"It doesn't matter."

Cheng Long smiled slightly, stood up and was about to leave.

Boss Qian on the side said hurriedly: "General Cheng, you are new here and you are not familiar with the place. Why don't I let Mary accompany you for a walk?"

"No, I'm just taking a walk. By the way, how much did I spend just now?"

"Marshal Cheng, it's my honor that you can come to eat here. How can I charge you money?"

"One thing is one thing, the money still needs to be paid."

"No need."

Boss Qian persuaded his daughter while winking at her. Qian Lili, who was very smart, immediately stepped forward and took Cheng Long's arm. As they walked, she said, "General Cheng, I'll take you out for a walk. There are many fun places in Renjia Town that you must have never been to."

"Daoyou, are you free tonight?"

Looking at Cheng Long who was about to be taken downstairs by Boss Qian's daughter, Uncle Jiu suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Yes, I have!"

"Then please come to the charity cemetery in the evening. I would like to... discuss Taoism with you." Uncle Jiu originally wanted to introduce someone to Cheng Long, but he was afraid of being interfered by Boss Qian, so he changed his mind temporarily.

Because the person he wanted to introduce to Cheng Long was none other than Ren Tingting, the competitor that Boss Qian had always wanted to suppress.

In the past, when Ren Fa was still alive and the Ren clan was united, the Ren family opened a Western restaurant. Who would dare to follow suit and open a Western restaurant in the town to compete with the Ren family for business?

The Ren family is now a loose group. Let alone coming together to accomplish anything, we should be thankful that they are not a drag on the family.

Ren clan members, who doesn’t want to get a piece of Ren Tingting’s flesh?

Three years ago, Ren Tingting was innocent, lively and cute.

Three years later, Ren Tingting has become mature and steady, but there is always an unremovable sadness between her brows.

Uncle Jiu felt heartbroken when he saw it.

Although he has been taking care of Tingting for the past few years, those ferocious Ren clan members have not yet taken action to rob her, but he is an outsider after all. He can protect Tingting for a while, but not for a lifetime.

What's more, Ren Fa's death had something to do with him.

If Qiu Shengwencai hadn't made the coffin leak when he was drawing the ink net, Old Master Ren would not have been able to get out.

No matter how it is explained, a hat of poor supervision will definitely be put on his head.

This time, Uncle Jiu noticed Boss Qian's little thoughts and suddenly had an idea to solve the problem once and for all.

Marshal Cheng is young and handsome, has status and position, and possesses magical powers that even he cannot see through. Isn’t he Tingting’s chosen husband?

To be honest, Uncle Jiu is a little worried that Tingting is not worthy of Fellow Daoist Cheng.

But no matter what the outcome is, he has to let people see each other. If it works, he can have one less worry. After accepting Uncle Jiu's invitation to "discuss the Dao", Cheng Long declined Qian Lili's kindness and left alone.

Although this girl is very enthusiastic and her headlights are not small, she is not Mr. Qian's concubine after all, but Mr. Qian's daughter.

Instead of giving the other person vague fantasies, it is better to refuse directly.

……

at dusk
Cheng Long walked into the charity cemetery with familiarity, carrying the beggar's chicken and roast goose he had ordered from Baofenglou.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ren Tingting wearing a deep blue cheongsam.

Ren Tingting, wearing the cheongsam, exudes a noble temperament in her gracefulness. The slim design outlines her perfect body curves, like a classical melody flowing in silence.

Compared with Mary, whom I met in the western restaurant before, she was far inferior.

"May I ask you are?"

"Tingting, he is Marshal Cheng."

Uncle Jiu walked out of the kitchen wrapped in an apron and looking like a smoky person.

At this time, Qiu Sheng and Wencai were both in solitary confinement in the morgue.

Ah Fang went to the hot spring town again. There was no one at home to light the fire and cook, so Uncle Jiu had to cook himself and prepare a table of delicious food for Cheng Long and Ren Tingting.

"Along, this is Ren Tingting, the daughter of Ren Fa, the former richest man in Renjia Town."

"I still have two dishes to cook. You guys can chat slowly, or go out for a walk..."

After Uncle Jiu introduced Ren Tingting, he introduced Ren Tingting to Cheng Long.

Hearing this familiar opening remark, Cheng Long couldn't help but think of the several blind dates he had before he traveled through time. In the past, he would go to the girl's house with relatives or acquaintances, and the matchmaker would say the same thing.

After introducing the man and woman, let the two young people go out and chat, or go upstairs for a private chat.

Of course, if the woman is willing to take someone out, or go upstairs to chat, that is quite cooperative. In many cases, the woman will not say a word, answer one question at a time, or simply lower her head to play with her mobile phone, ignoring what is happening outside the window.

"Uncle Jiu actually arranged a blind date for me without saying a word!"

"interesting."

Although the form of blind dates now is similar to that before the time travel, Cheng Long is no longer the same person he used to be. He is no longer the ordinary car mechanic, but Marshal Cheng who controls 100,000 soldiers and is very wealthy.

So after the introduction.

The flustered and uneasy person was not him.

But it’s Ren Tingting.

"Ms. Ren, how about going out for a walk?"

"Hmm~"

Ren Tingting nodded slightly and followed him out coquettishly.

In fact, when they arrived at the charity cemetery in the afternoon, Uncle Jiu specifically reminded her that if she felt good about the meeting, she must find ways to win the other person over.

At the very least, you have to become Marshal Cheng’s lover, or even his best friend.

The dilemma she is facing now is that she has no one to rely on and cannot protect the huge wealth left by her elders.

Once she gets Cheng Long's approval, Cheng Long only needs to spread the word as the leader of the Cheng family army. Then no matter how jealous the Ren clan members are of Ren Tingting's wealth, they can only keep it in their hearts and dare not show it at all.

Of course.

If I could marry Cheng Long, I would become the Marshal’s wife.

Not to mention keeping the wealth, Tingting can even lead the Ren family out of Renjia Town and become a wealthy business tycoon.

After leaving the charity cemetery, the two of them wandered aimlessly into the grove. The woods at dusk were dark and silent, with only the chirping of insects around. Ren Tingting, who had experienced supernatural events, felt that there were dangers lurking all around, and subconsciously moved closer to the man.

"Ms. Ren, if you are afraid, you can hold my hand. This may make you feel more at ease." Cheng Long spread out one hand with a smile.

Ren Tingting blushed and held the man's hand, and said shyly: "Marshal Cheng, do you think I'm beautiful?"

"Well, she's pretty, a beautiful girl from a small family, my type."

"Brother Cheng, to be honest, I like you, too."

After a short pause, Ren Tingting took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to face Cheng Long, and said solemnly: "If you really like me, I want to marry you tomorrow and be your wife."

"Is it too soon?"

Cheng Long was surprised. Is this really Ren Tingting from Mr. Vampire?

When the plot of the movie unfolds, when Ren Fa says that his daughter has grown up and it's time for her to get married, Tingting blushes for a long time. It's only been three years, but she has become so bold.

Could it be that Dong Xiaoyu has taken over his body?
"I'm tired!"

"Ever since my father was killed by my grandfather, the elders in the clan who are close to me have always wanted to hand over the assets that my grandfather and my father have worked hard to build to them for safekeeping, under the pretext of doing good for me..."

"My cousin Awei, who used to take good care of me, now looks at me as if he wants to eat me..."

“If it weren’t for the loyalty of my family’s housekeeper and Uncle Nine’s care for me, the assets and money accumulated by my family for three generations would have been divided up by them long ago.”

"The housekeeper's health is getting worse day by day. Without him to watch over Ah Xiang and Ah Zhong, they might plot against me. Uncle Jiu can't quench my thirst..."

"So when Uncle Jiu told me about you this afternoon, I couldn't wait to marry you, even if you were older, uglier, or even disabled."

"Who would have thought that God would treat me so well? When I was most helpless and unable to hold on, I met you, a tall, mighty and extraordinary commander..."

Perhaps because they had confirmed through eye contact that they had met the right person, Ren Tingting began to talk incessantly about the ups and downs and hardships she had experienced in the past three years.

At this moment, she was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

Cheng Long subconsciously took her into his arms and comforted her: "Tingting, it's all in the past. From now on, I'm here, no one dares to bully you! Who bullied you in the past? Tell me, I'll help you vent your anger."
