Zhang Xiaoman also felt that Luo Chen was being a bit stingy. Still she changed the subject.
“I will go with you to find a hotel to rest first” Zhang Xiaoman said.
“Xiaoman come back” Zhang Xiaoman’s mother called her back coldly.
Zhang Xiaoman saw that Luo Chen had no reaction. In the end she chose to step back and did not follow Luo Chen.
Watching Luo Chen leave alone Zhang Xiaoman felt a little reluctant. After all Luo Chen was unfamiliar with the place. He came to Tongzhou to find her. Where he would stay tonight was already a problem.
But in the end she sighed. Zhang Xiaoman you should give up.
He really is not from the same world as you!
After Luo Chen left Zhang Xiaoman’s mother immediately pulled a long face. She picked up those bags of tea leaves. Instead of keeping them she threw them out of the window.
“Let him sleep on the street tonight.”
“A few bags of tea? How embarrassing!”
“Xiaoman it is not that mum wants to nag you but this guy surnamed Luo is simply not good enough for you. Mum has been through it all. Listen to mum and break up with him soon.”
“A person like him will never amount to anything in this lifetime.” Zhang Xiaoman’s mother always looked down on Luo Chen. Moreover there was Chen Chao pursuing her daughter. Compared to Chen Chao Luo Chen was nothing at all.
“Child’s mother these are matters for the young people. Can you say a few words less?” Zhang Dazhuang could not stand it anymore.
“What young people’s matters?”
“Xiaoman look you see mum was soft-hearted back then and married your dad this useless coward. I thought your dad really treated me well at that time. But now mum regrets it. I was really blind to follow this useless thing and suffer so much hardship?”
“Xiaoman you must not make the same mistake as mum.”
“Marrying me you regret it?” Zhang Dazhuang also got angry.
Seeing the two already starting to argue Zhang Xiaoman was so furious she went back to her room. She slammed the door hard and stayed inside without coming out.
But she did not blame her parents. Instead she felt a bit resentful towards Luo Chen.
Could you not bear to spend a little money and bring some good things?
Just a few bags of tea?
Anyone would look down on that! My boyfriend Zhang Xiaoman’s boyfriend comes to my house for the first time and only brings a few bags of tea?
Even Zhang Xiaoman herself felt a bit embarrassed.
Actually Luo Chen had really brought many valuable things. But after waking up on the high-speed train Luo Chen decided not to give any of them to this family.
Walking out the door being in an unfamiliar place was indeed quite troublesome.
But at this moment Luo Chen’s phone rang.
“Hello teacher where are you?”
“Good I will come pick you up right now. Grandpa asked me to book the presidential suite for you at the Sea Moon Hotel.”
Sea Moon was the best five-star hotel in Tongzhou city. The presidential suite reportedly cost nearly thirty thousand a night. It was definitely not something ordinary people could afford.
Tongzhou was an extremely prosperous city especially at night. Under the various neon lights cars flowed endlessly without stop.
Actually Luo Chen still felt a bit emotional. After thousands or tens of thousands of years of cultivation life full of scheming deception and battles across the world suddenly being placed in this bustling yet peaceful city gave Luo Chen an extremely unnatural feeling.
It was like a battle-hardened fierce tiger suddenly arriving among a flock of completely defenceless sheep. Instead it would make the tiger slightly stunned and unaccustomed.
Unconsciously he licked his lips. Luo Chen gave an evil charming smile. Hehe mortal world this is the first city that will soon be trampled under his feet.
At a crossroads Luo Chen stood there holding his luggage. Although Luo Chen was an Immortal Venerable at this moment he did not show that kind of aura. Instead he looked like a simple university student who had just graduated. With his outfit he looked even more like someone from the countryside coming to the city for the first time.
At this time a passing taxi honked and stopped in front of Luo Chen.
The car window rolled down. Inside was a man in his forties. The driver waved and said “Young man do you want a ride?”
Luo Chen shook his head. He was waiting here for Ye Shuangshuang. And the other party seemed to have already arrived.
“Hmph ptui poor guy.” After hearing Luo Chen’s refusal the driver immediately changed his expression. He cursed spat with a face full of contempt then drove off cursing under his breath. In his view this country bumpkin probably had no money so he was not going to take a taxi.
“Get lost if you have no money why come to the city!” He looked down on these poor guys the most.
But just as he drove off more than ten metres the driver saw through the rear-view mirror a yellow Ferrari sports car slowly stopping at the spot where he had just stopped.
Then in the driver’s stunned expression the country bumpkin he thought was poor actually got into the car.
“Teacher that person just now do you want to?” Clearly Ye Shuangshuang had been nearby and saw the whole scene.
With Ye Shuangshuang’s temper naturally she could not tolerate it. After all Ye Shuangshuang was not someone easy to deal with. To put it bluntly in Tongzhou there might be people she did not dare to touch but for ordinary people there really was no one she did not dare to touch.
But Luo Chen shook his head seeming not intending to bother. However the corner of his mouth showed a very playful expression as he looked towards the taxi ahead.
This was not because Luo Chen was magnanimous. Actually although Luo Chen was an Immortal Venerable he could sometimes get angry easily. Or it could be said that since he was already an Immortal Venerable his dignity could not tolerate provocation at times.
But Luo Chen did not plan to do anything to that driver who had cursed him. Because he saw a very interesting scene.
“Uncle can you give me a ride?”
The taxi driver was still staring at the rear-view mirror looking at that Lamborghini. Suddenly a voice came from the side startling the driver.
When the driver looked carefully it turned out to be a long-haired woman in a red dress standing beside his car.
Business coming to the door naturally made the driver happy. But late at night this woman wearing all red looked a bit scary. However after seeing the woman’s face clearly the driver suddenly showed a lecherous expression and let the woman get in the car.
At this moment Ye Shuangshuang drove past that taxi at extremely high speed.
And the playful expression on Luo Chen’s lips grew stronger.
“Teacher what is wrong?” Ye Shuangshuang was a bit curious about Luo Chen’s expression.
“Did you pay attention to that taxi?” Luo Chen did not explain but asked instead.
“Ah?” Ye Shuangshuang was stunned. Actually she had been paying attention the whole time and even remembered the licence plate of that car.
“The passenger” Luo Chen reminded again.
After Luo Chen’s reminder Ye Shuangshuang suddenly remembered. The taxi display screen originally showed empty car. Only when there was really a passenger inside would the driver change empty car to occupied.
But strangely Ye Shuangshuang was sure that when she passed by she had noticed. There was no one else in that car besides the driver. Yet the driver had changed the display from empty car to occupied.
Clearly there was no passenger in the car so why did the driver change the display to occupied?
“He is going to die soon” Luo Chen suddenly said.
“Ah?” Ye Shuangshuang was greatly shocked.
“This world is very big very wonderful. There are many things ordinary people cannot imagine. There will come a day when you will see them” Luo Chen looked towards the east of Tongzhou city.
Hearing Luo Chen say this Ye Shuangshuang suddenly felt uneasy all over her body almost covered in goosebumps. Could there really be someone in the car?
Just that she could not see it?
Then who or what was in the car?
Inside the taxi.
“Beauty where to?”
“Panlong Bay!”
“Panlong Bay?” The driver stepped on the accelerator and started driving. But after hearing the address Panlong Bay the driver always felt something was not quite right.
