A Dream in the Garden

The Third Mistress couldn't help but recall some sweet memories of the young Su Mei. At that time, Su Mei set up a scheme with her body, intending to frame Ye Chenyu, but in the end, she really lost her virginity.

"Didn't Ziqing tell you that I'm invulnerable to swords and spears?" He said these sarcastic words as he entered her body.

At the beginning of the last century, the Ye Family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Su Mei secretly used her own savings and several houses, tea gardens, and villas that were part of her dowry to buy up a lot of the Ye Family's assets that they were selling or mortgaging at low prices. At the time, because the Qin Family was using their banking connections and the Ye Family still had some influence in the Chamber of Commerce, the old master of the Su Family could not directly support Su Mei. However, he still admired his ruthless and unfeeling granddaughter's actions and secretly instructed a reliable manager to provide appropriate assistance to Su Mei in raising funds.

Su Mei could have made a fortune, but things suddenly took a turn for the worse. A small portion of the shops that the Ye Family had mortgaged at low prices were redeemed at the agreed-upon price, and they announced that they would redeem them all before the due date.

Auntie brought Qin Peng to visit, and that's when Su Mei heard that the eldest young master of the Ye Family had returned. It was this young master Ye who turned the tide and saved the Ye Family from dire straits.

How could Su Mei willingly spit out the fat meat that was already in her mouth? Su Mei was truly unwilling and decided to personally meet this young master of the Ye Family.

So, while her aunt was escaping the summer heat at the Su Family's lakeside house, Su Mei took Qin Peng to ride in a car. At that time, cars were still a rare thing. The Su Family owned the first Rolls-Royce that they had purchased from overseas. Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906, and the Silver Ghost, launched the following year, was soon hailed as "the best car in the world." Su Mei's father, who was overseas purchasing munitions for his private army, saw this model of car and spent a huge sum of money. After going through numerous procedures and connections, it took more than a year to successfully purchase it and send it back before Su Mei's birthday.

The car drove all the way to the Ye Family. Su Mei subtly arranged for Qin Peng to call Ye Sijin out to play, and they also met the eldest young master of the Ye Family, Ye Chenyu, who is now the head of the Ye Family.

That year, she was just a young girl, with a smile in her eyes and a slightly shy expression. She stepped out of the car and onto the wet bluestone pavement in front of the Ye Family's house. Her skirt swayed, revealing only a little bit of cute peach blossom on the tip of her shoes. She slowly walked up to Ye Chenyu and looked him over with a hint of curiosity.

"Brother, this is Sister Mei! She's amazing! Sister Mei could do math when she was only three years old!"

"She's definitely not as good as my eldest brother; he knows Iron Shirt!"

What's the use of Iron Shirt?

"It's invulnerable to swords and spears, heh heh... huff huff... ha!"

Su Mei's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile at the child's amusing yellow teeth. In her heart, however, she thought that Ye Chenyu was probably frivolous and liked to talk nonsense, and was probably just fooling Qin Peng.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Su Family! You're amazing!"

Su Mei looked at the gentle smile in Ye Chenyu's eyes and was startled. Oh no, this person is not easy to deal with. It seems that he saw through her shallow smile.

To destroy the Ye Family, we must first eliminate this boy, lest things get complicated. Su Mei lowered her head shyly, "Cousin, you jest."

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

She always thought that time would rush by and make people grow old. Looking at her face in the mirror, she saw changes, but her beauty had not diminished in the slightest. However, if he hadn't been forced to look for her in the coffin, but instead had become another person living a carefree life, she would definitely let him know the resentment of a woman who had suffered for a hundred years.

The Third Mistress moved her binoculars, but Liu Chang'an was no longer visible.

Liu Chang'an was still measuring the streets of Junsha with his own two legs. According to statistics, the number of people born after the end of World War II was equal to the total population before the emergence of humankind.

This means that all sorts of absurd, fantastical, despicable, heroic, extravagant, and beautiful things that humankind has done throughout history may happen repeatedly within these few years.

That's really interesting.

As Liu Chang'an pondered these things, he couldn't help but think that living for too long turns memories into data, like movies stored on a computer. They aren't deleted, but they're rarely accessed. Memories from before the advent of human civilization are probably in this state. For him, recent memories are like shortcuts on his desktop, which he clicks to use at any time.

Ye Sijin was a shortcut in his memory. Liu Chang'an was very patient, but if it weren't for Ye Sijin, he wouldn't have cooperated with Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang's probing.

Liu Chang'an walked up to Mount Lu, pressed the elevator door button, and Qin Yanan opened the elevator. Liu Chang'an walked up and saw Qin Yanan wearing the cheongsam that she had customized at "Explanation". She had a graceful figure and elegant temperament, and her eyes had a slightly cold and beautiful look. When she wore this kind of clothing, she always made people feel that she was incredibly beautiful.

"I saw you slowly walking up the mountain path from upstairs."

"Or shall we take the cable car?"

"I mean, do you want to buy a car? It'll be more convenient for going to school."

"I have no money."

"I send you."

"Cars are troublesome and inconvenient." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "I prefer walking. I go everywhere on foot or by running. Have you seen Forrest Gump? I can run even faster than Forrest Gump."

"Of course... you're not an ordinary person," Qin Yanan said meaningfully.

"Are you wearing this cheongsam to reenact what happened that night?" Liu Chang'an asked, pointing to her cheongsam.

"I feel that this kind of attire will bring Ye Sijin to my mind. This time, I hope you can have a good talk with her. If she has any unfulfilled wishes, we can help her fulfill them," Qin Yanan said solemnly, her tone gentle and sincere.

"Ye Sijin's unfulfilled wish is to marry Ye Chenyu. Your great-grandfather believes that marrying you to me would be a substitute for that unfulfilled wish." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "How can I help her fulfill such a wish?"

Although Liu Chang'an did not say that the Ye Chenyu he mentioned was him, it could be understood that the unfinished love between Ye Sijin and Ye Chenyu could not be completed by their descendants Qin Yanan and Liu Chang'an. However, Qin Yanan still firmly believed that Liu Chang'an was just being stubborn by deliberately mentioning Ye Chenyu's name.

Ye Sijin's unfulfilled wish was to marry Ye Chenyu? Qin Yanan couldn't believe it; it was too absurd. Qin Yanan's heart beat a little faster. Could the man Ye Sijin was entangled with in her dreams really be Ye Chenyu?

Hopefully, we can find out tonight. Qin Yanan is already prepared.

Liu Chang'an was also prepared. He hadn't really cared that Qin Yanan would know the secret; he just felt that when the time was right, he would naturally tell her. Now, her eagerness to verify it stemmed from nothing more than normal curiosity. Did she have any other reason to insist that he was Ye Chenyu?

Perhaps so. Liu Chang'an sensed that Qin Yanan had some secrets she hadn't revealed, perhaps related to her birth or the coffin. In any case, she was testing him. Liu Chang'an simply played along. Since she wanted to know his secrets so much, he would tell her, as long as she was willing to exchange her own secrets for them.
