Chapter 149: Flash Marriage

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Father Leng had been in West City for a few days, and Jiang Muye, acting as a tour guide, had missed no chance to make his presence known. As a result, Father Leng was especially satisfied with him.

"The ninth of this month looks like a good day," Father Leng said, nodding after he looked at the calendar.

Jiang Muye felt a bit embarrassed. Yet in reality, he was overjoyed. "Uncle, isn't this a bit fast? Ruoli and I haven't been dating that long, so isn't a sudden marriage a bit rash?"

Father Leng raised his head and looked at Jiang Muye. "You're overthinking it. Do you think I'd marry my son off that quickly? Even if I agreed, do you think Ruoli's mother would?"

Jiang Muye thought about it and had to agree.

Although he hadn't met Leng Ruoli's mother yet, he could tell from Uncle's tone that she was a formidable businesswoman who wasn't easy to deal with.

"Then what do you mean by the ninth of this month?" Jiang Muye was confused.

"Going to the sales department to look at houses," Father Leng replied, clearing up Jiang Muye's confusion. "She's been living at school all this time, so we never bought a place in West City. She'll be discharged soon, so she needs somewhere proper to recuperate."

Jiang Muye felt Father Leng had a point.

Given Leng Ruoli's current condition, a proper place to recuperate really was what she needed. She could have stayed in his villa, but he couldn't possibly say that to Father Leng's face, or Father Leng would think he was treating her carelessly.

After all, no father wanted his daughter living with a man before marriage.

"Alright, I'll be free that day," Jiang Muye nodded.

Father Leng agreed on the spot, and on the ninth, he took Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli to the sales department.

The agent began introducing houses with great enthusiasm, and after viewing several properties in a row, Father Leng settled on a high-end villa in the city center with a private garden and fountain.

Its market price reached 310 million dollars.

Father Leng didn't bat an eye and paid in full on the spot, telling the agent to handle the paperwork.

Jiang Muye sighed in amazement. The Leng Corporation really was a conglomerate, truly rich enough to rival a nation, paying taxes starting in the billions each year.

"Did you bring your ID card?" Father Leng looked at Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye nodded. "I brought it."

After he took out his ID card, Father Leng took it and absentmindedly handed it to the agent. "The courtyard house in Lujiang Palace I had my eye on before, let's buy that too. Put it under this name."

"What!" Jiang Muye was shocked.

He'd looked into the villas at Lujiang Palace as well.

They were worth no small fortune, let alone the courtyard house, with its astonishing area and top-tier location. Courtyard architecture like that was not only exquisite but also carried the aesthetics of traditional culture.

"Consider it a welcome gift," Father Leng said coolly.

"I can't accept this!" Jiang Muye hurriedly shook his head.

"Oh, so you're not satisfied with the courtyard house. In that case, let's give you that two-hundred-million mansion instead."

Father Leng's words left Jiang Muye stunned.

How did the gift keep getting more expensive!

Jiang Muye was overwhelmed by the favor. "Uncle, you really don't need to. It's too expensive!"

【Congratulations, Host. You refused the mansion and gained two hundred Grit Points.】 the System began to remind him.

How could he accept such an expensive gift! Especially from an elder. He simply couldn't bear it, and it wasn't proper etiquette either.

"Expensive?" Father Leng furrowed his brow.

Only then did Jiang Muye understand. For a big shot at Father Leng's level, earning money started in the tens of billions. His concept of money wasn't quite the same as that of ordinary people.

Buying a house was probably like going to the market to buy some vegetables. There wasn't much difference.

Leng Ruoli gave Jiang Muye a gentle smile. "Just take it. It's fine."

"Uncle, I really can't accept a gift like this. Look, you came back from abroad and I didn't give you anything, yet the moment you arrive you give me something this big. If anyone's buying, it should be me buying for you!" Jiang Muye said generously.

He wasn't short on money at all right now. Buying a house was easy as pie for him.

Father Leng laughed heartily. "You little rascal, do you think I'm short on houses? The fact that I'm not giving you a sky garden castle from abroad is already me being conservative."

Jiang Muye sighed. The world of the rich really was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

In the end, only after Jiang Muye insisted strongly did Father Leng drop the matter.

But he still gave Jiang Muye a diamond Patek Philippe watch. Looking at all the diamonds and crystals covering the watch, Jiang Muye figured the price was absolutely certain to be no less than eighty million.

Since his future father-in-law had shown such sincerity, Jiang Muye was definitely not going to be outdone.

He directly invited Father Leng to his estate.

The estate was still in its trial operation stage and not yet open to the public, but the fruits and vegetables were already ripe.

After all, Jiang Muye had the Fruit and Vegetable Harvest Perfection Rate given by the System and had exchanged for the Top-Tier SSSS-Grade Fruit and Vegetable Potion from the System shop. Everything grown here was the best and freshest produce.

Father Leng had initially assumed that Jiang Muye's estate was just a small one of less than twenty acres, but he was surprised once he arrived.

The estate was not only enormous but also golden and resplendent, laden with fruit, with crops and produce all thriving.

The apples were especially large and looked sweet and fragrant. The aroma of strawberries drifted out from the greenhouses, filling the air with an enticing strawberry scent. There were also many lemon trees, the lemons on the branches plump and full.

The cabbages were tender and fresh, large and plump; the carrots were vividly colored; the leafy lettuce grew well; and there were also choy sum and leafy lettuce.

Besides the common vegetables, Father Leng spotted something special on the farmers' delivery cart.

"Is this wasabi?" Father Leng was astonished.

Wasabi was very hard to find locally, yet the ones here were large and fine. One look told him they were top quality.

"Yes, we specially cultivate these by hand and grow them on the back mountain," Jiang Muye answered honestly.

Leng Ruoli was full of admiration. "Wasabi can only survive on unpolluted mountain land. It has certain requirements for its growing environment, and the survival rate is very low. It's not suited to the local soil at all. How did you do it!"

Jiang Muye felt especially embarrassed by the praise.

It was all thanks to his System. With the Top-Tier SSSS-Grade Fruit and Vegetable Potion, there was no need for any particular environment or climate. It carried its own spiritual energy, so the plants could be cultivated with ease, and they grew exceptionally well.

He couldn't very well say to their faces that he had a System, so he made up a reason. "I failed many times in testing, but I finally spent some time and succeeded in developing it. There's not just wasabi, but black truffles and white truffles too. You can try them in a bit."

Father Leng nodded readily. "Alright."

Originally, he'd thought Jiang Muye was just an ordinary student who'd gotten lucky and become an heir. But now, seeing that Jiang Muye was clever and willing to work hard, no wonder his daughter liked him.

After Father Leng sat down in the VIP guest room, he assumed Jiang Muye would first bring out some very expensive fruits. To his surprise, the first thing served was a plate of carrots.

"Here, give it a try," Jiang Muye said with a smile. "This is our estate's flagship product, our specialty fruit carrot."

He had never imagined that a plate of carrots would directly change his life, and actually make him…
