455: [Jianghu Life and Death Arena] is opened.

“Oh, my goodness! ~ ~ ~”

“Mom, (⇀‸↼‶) why did you flick my forehead again? What if I become stupid?”

“...”

Gao Xiao Xiao covered her forehead, looking wronged and giving her mother a resentful look.

“You're too smart for your age!” Gao Weiwei rubbed her daughter’s cheek, a smile playing on her lips, “Who told you to play matchmaker! And you even want me to repay your debt of gratitude? If you ever get the chance to meet Uncle Su Fan, you can figure out how to repay him yourself!”

“If Uncle Su Fan is willing to wait for you to grow up, I’d even agree to you offering yourself to him, but I’m just afraid he won’t be interested in a little munchkin like you~ ~ ~ ~”

“...”

Gao Weiwei picked up her daughter, who looked unconvinced, and poked her little face, a teasing expression on her own.

At the same time, her peripheral vision glanced towards Mu Xiaowan, noticing that the latter’s previously tense body had gradually relaxed.

Sure enough, Xiaowan… likes that man, doesn’t she? Gao Weiwei wasn’t stupid; every time Su Fan was mentioned, the dazed expression Mu Xiaowan unconsciously revealed on her face practically gave away her little secret.

In this situation, how could Gao Weiwei possibly “steal his love”?.

Plus, she didn’t even know Su Fan… Moreover, ever since she had her daughter, she had never thought about getting married, only wanting to raise her child alone… Gao Xiao Xiao wasn't disheartened after being explicitly rejected. Her little eyes rolled, and she suddenly slapped her forehead, enlightened… “Oh, I know!”

“Mom, do you have someone you like? Is that why you don’t like Uncle Superman!”

“But usually, you don’t seem to have any other uncles around?”

“Could it be Brother Lin Xuan, who comes to buy flowers every day? Hmm, I can understand that! Girls all like this kind of Prince Charming!”

“After all, Brother Lin Xuan is too handsome, and he’s very rich, and he’s also gentle and kind, completely different from those scumbags in TV dramas…”

“Last night, I even dreamed that after I grew up, Brother Lin Xuan and I would walk down the aisle together?!”

“However, Mom, if you really like him, then Xiao Xiao will give him to you!”

“But Brother Lin Xuan seems to have an older sister he likes? Is it going to be like the TV drama I watched the day before yesterday, where a ‘Temptation of Going Home’ plays out?!”

“...”

Listening to Gao Xiao Xiao shaking her head, her small hands clasped behind her back, speaking eloquently like a little adult.

Inside the flower shop, Σ(☉▽☉"a the two women were both stunned.

Gao Weiwei, in particular, was mortified, feeling that she had been too busy with work and had neglected her daughter’s ideological education.

Before she could even begin to correctly brainwash Gao Xiao Xiao.

Mu Xiaowan had already widened her eyes, covering her mouth in surprise, and asked for confirmation.

“Brother Lin Xuan? Could it be… Xiao Xiao is referring to Mr. Lin Xuan?”

“Sister Weiwei, you know Mr. Lin Xuan too?”

“Ah? Could it be that Xiaowan, you also…” Gao Weiwei’s small mouth was slightly agape, utterly astonished.

Immediately after, she recounted how Lin Xuan came to “buy flowers” every day.

Hearing this, Mu Xiaowan also described the entire process of her acquaintance with Lin Xuan.

After the two women exchanged their information, they realized how miraculous fate was; they had both intersected with the same excellent man… Only then did Mu Xiaowan truly relax.

Having seen a high-quality man like Lin Xuan, she was convinced that Gao Weiwei would definitely no longer be interested in the unremarkable Su Fan.

As the saying goes:

How could someone who has seen the stars and the sea be content with mere specks of light?

How could a woman who has seen an eagle fall in love with a crow???

That’s right!

In Mu Xiaowan’s heart, the straightforward Su Fan was clearly not as outstanding as Lin Xuan.

A normal woman, between the two, would definitely choose the gentle Prince Charming-like Lin Xuan, and she even had fantasies about him herself… However, after meeting Su Qingge, Mu Xiaowan’s dream was instantly shattered, realizing she was just a toad, and it was best not to fantasize about eating swan meat… On the other side.

As soon as Lin Xuan was mentioned, Gao Weiwei’s eyes flickered, and she couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

He was indeed a very excellent gentleman!

Especially the deep affection Lin Xuan showed towards his comatose wife, which deeply moved Gao Weiwei.

After experiencing that nightmare year ago… she instinctively believed that all men were beasts who thought with their lower bodies!!!!!

But Lin Xuan proved with his actions that there were still some good men out there.

Facing such an excellent Lin Xuan, as a normal woman, it would be false to say that Gao Weiwei hadn't envied his comatose wife even a little… Occasionally, in a half-dream, half-awake state, she had even fantasized about such an excellent man appearing to take care of her and her daughter.

It was just that reason quickly extinguished such unrealistic fantasies.

Gao Weiwei was very self-aware; she knew how vast the gap was between her and Lin Xuan’s statuses, and there was no possibility of them being together at all.

Even setting aside their respective statuses, she was older than Lin Xuan, an old woman, and she also had a “burden” (child).

In such circumstances, how could Lin Xuan possibly be interested in her?!

The idea of an old cow eating tender grass was ultimately only suitable for dreams… What’s more, in her mind, occasionally, the “bastard” who caused her current situation would surface… Su Yang!!!

...Two and a half minutes ago, in Bujiang Town, the Jianghu Life and Death Arena had already begun.

Whether it was martial artists or celebrities and wealthy individuals who came to join the fun, or the local residents of the town, countless gazes simultaneously turned towards the stone arena that rose from the surging river.

Near the arena, on the riverbank, there were heavily guarded areas, filled with numerous tall, imposing soldiers.

They held various firearms and weapons to prevent anyone from disrupting the fairness of the competition.

Once on the arena, life and death were up to fate, and wealth was up to heaven; no one could interfere.

Of course, this was the annual Life and Death Arena hosted by [Kunlun], specifically for martial artists from various families to settle their grudges.

Who would dare to cause trouble today?

That would be offending the entire [Kunlun]; no matter how powerful you were, in front of this martial artist alliance formed by the state, all were nothing but chickens and dogs… Gift value: 170/1000, one more chapter for every 1000.

My wife keeps saying work is tiring and she doesn’t want to go to the factory to screw in screws anymore, but after looking around outside, she found no other jobs besides that.

Brothers, the employment situation is severe now!

I advise everyone to just be a workhorse if you have to, don’t easily quit your job, you’ll regret it.

To comfort her desperate mood, I took her to [Lu Family Mama] for a meal, 100 yuan, my heart ached so much~ ~ ~
