Youth holds an irresistible allure for everyone. The words of her daughter successfully captured Su Qin's attention, but she also knew that such things were impossible; there was no house in this world that could make someone younger. However, her curiosity about Jiang Chen only grew.
"Let's go take a look," Su Qin said with a slight smile.
In the Falling Snow Courtyard.
"Is it really here?!" Standing at the entrance of the Falling Snow Courtyard, Su Qin looked at the quaint residence in slight astonishment.
"Yep!" Su Xue giggled, then went to open the door and stepped into the courtyard. Su Qin felt as if she had entered a vast natural world; inside the courtyard and outside were like two different realms.
Jiang Chen stood in the courtyard, waiting with a smile.
"Brother Jiang Chen," Su Xue called out cheerfully, her tone filled with joy and warmth.
Seeing her daughter forget about her mother upon meeting Jiang Chen, Su Qin was not angry this time; instead, she felt a bit embarrassed. She had indeed been somewhat rude to Jiang Chen before.
"Have you finished your business?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Not yet. My mom said she needs to think for a day, so I brought her here to relax," Su Xue replied.
"This is your home. From today on, you will live here," Jiang Chen said with a gentle smile.
"Then... can my mom stay here too?" Su Xue asked softly.
"Of course. This house is yours; you can let anyone you like live here," Jiang Chen's smile was full of affection.
"Cough cough!" Seeing how close her daughter was to Jiang Chen made Su Qin feel a bit awkward.
Hearing her mother's cough, Su Xue suddenly remembered that her mother was present, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
"Jiang Chen, I want to talk to you," Su Qin said, maintaining her composure as an elder and not feeling overly restrained in front of Jiang Chen.
"If it's about the same old topics, there probably isn't much for us to discuss," Jiang Chen replied, already being quite polite for Su Xue's sake.
"Of course not. What I said before may have hurt you, but I only wanted to protect Xue Er. I never expected that in just a few years, you would achieve so much," Su Qin quickly explained, feeling less confident in front of Jiang Chen now.
"Then let's sit down and talk slowly," Jiang Chen smiled.
No matter what, even if Su Qin was somewhat snobbish, she ultimately acted for Su Xue's sake, and Jiang Chen wouldn't hold it against her.
In the tea room.
Outside the tea room lies the back garden, adorned with rockeries and flowing water, lush green grass, and fragrant flowers. Although it is June, the summer heat is hardly oppressive. Living here surely brings joy to one's heart; with a cheerful spirit, one naturally feels younger.
Jiang Chen personally brewed the tea, and as Su Qin watched him, she felt that he possessed a unique charm, more distinguished than many young people she had encountered. However, she quickly shook her head, finding her thoughts amusing. It was indeed superficial of her to find Jiang Chen increasingly appealing simply because she knew he was wealthy.
"Here’s your tea," Jiang Chen said as he poured a cup for Su Qin and her daughter, Su Xue.
"This tea smells wonderful," Su Xue exclaimed, inhaling deeply with delight.
"It tastes even better," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Su Xue eagerly lifted her cup and took a sip. The fragrant tea invigorated her senses.
After finishing her cup, Su Qin set it down and looked at Jiang Chen seriously. "Jiang Chen, I’m going to be straightforward. I have a question: what is your net worth now?"
"Mom!" Su Xue interjected, slightly reproaching her mother for asking such a personal question.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly; Su Qin was indeed direct. "What do you hope my net worth is?" he asked playfully.
"Fifty billion Huaxia Coins," Su Qin answered.
"As for my wealth, I actually don't know how much I have, but it’s definitely more than fifty billion," Jiang Chen said.
"Then why haven’t I seen your name on the Huaxia Rich List?" Su Qin questioned skeptically.
"Because I don’t want to be on the Rich List."
"What’s the name of your company?"
"I don’t have a company; my money is managed by others."
"You don’t have a company but possess a lot of money? How does that work?" Su Qin frowned, increasingly puzzled.
"Because many people give me money," Jiang Chen replied with a slight smile.
In the past, if Jiang Chen had said something like this, Su Qin would have mocked him. But today, despite her confusion, she found herself believing his words.
"People give you money? You’re making it even more confusing!" Su Qin exclaimed in disbelief.
"A person with enough strength will naturally attract others who want to support him financially," Jiang Chen explained.
"Is your strength really so great that people are willing to give you money?" Su Qin asked incredulously.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"I wonder what kind of strength you are referring to," Su Qin asked, her curiosity about Jiang Chen growing.
"I remember a few years ago when you returned to Qingcheng, I mentioned something to you, but at that time, you just took my words as boasting," Jiang Chen said calmly while sipping his tea.
Su Qin's expression changed slightly as she fell into thought; after so many years, how could she possibly remember?
"Mom, Jiang Chen is not an ordinary person anymore. Do you remember the movie we watched in the cinema, Mountain and Sea Secret Realm?" Su Xue quickly explained.
"What does that have to do with the movie?" Su Qin felt a bit confused.
"Jiang Chen's strength is like the immortals in that movie, incredibly powerful," Su Xue said.
Su Qin's mouth dropped open as she looked at Jiang Chen and then at her daughter.
"Xue Er, are you joking with me? I know there are many martial arts masters appearing in Huaxia now, but are you saying that Jiang Chen's skills are impressive?" Su Qin interpreted.
"Yes, you could say that," Su Xue nodded.
"I see, I didn't expect Jiang Chen to actually know martial arts," Su Qin laughed.
Jiang Chen smiled back.
"I saw in the news that those martial arts masters in Huaxia can walk on walls and even run on water. Jiang Chen, what kind of skills do you have?" Su Qin asked curiously.
"I can do everything," Jiang Chen replied.
"Then, can you show Auntie some of your skills?" Su Qin asked with anticipation; the martial arts craze in Huaxia had swept across the globe, and everyone was curious about it.
"Martial arts are just a minor path and not particularly remarkable. However, since Auntie is interested, it would be good for you to see it. But there's no need for me to perform; I'll teach Su Xue instead," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Me?" Su Xue was taken aback.
"Do you remember what I told you last night? From now on, you are the master here; everything can change according to your thoughts. Wouldn't it be wonderful to drink tea and enjoy the snow in June?" Jiang Chen smiled gently.
"Can I really do that?" Remembering the sudden snowfall from last night made Su Xue feel excited.
"You still need to learn slowly for now, but it won't be long before you master it. Come, give me your hand," Jiang Chen extended his right hand.
Su Xue felt a bit shy but still reached out her hand as instructed.
Once she held Jiang Chen's hand, her cheeks flushed even more, but before she could feel embarrassed, a strange sensation surged in her heart.
Su Qin stood by, her confusion deepening; she couldn't understand her daughter's conversation with Jiang Chen at all. What did it mean that everything here could change according to one's heart? What did drinking tea and enjoying snow mean? Could it really snow in June?
Su Qin glanced outside; the sun was shining brightly. It was impossible for it to snow, let alone rain.
