CHAPTER 1038: CHAPTER 1123: SUPPORT

A Mercedes owner focuses on comfort, almost the polar opposite of BMW’s emphasis on handling as its key trait.

Chen Nan sat in the car without feeling even the slightest bump, and after a whole hour, he was about to fall asleep. It was at this moment that the car drove into an estate and finally arrived at Chu Wenrou’s home.

The estate was covered with lush grass, with little bridges and flowing water, artificial hills and fountains, very tranquil.

Building such an estate in the city center would likely cost billions, just from living here alone, Chen Nan could see that Chu Wenrou’s father’s wealth was likely no less than Su Yixuan’s.

The estate had a lot of ancient-style buildings, and the scenery was very beautiful.

In front of one ancient-style house, the driver stopped the car. After getting out and opening the door, Chen Nan and Hua Rong got out together.

Chen Nan followed Hua Rong and walked into the ancient-style building.

From the outside, the house looked like an ancient building, but inside, the decor was entirely modern.

The living room had a sofa and coffee table. Hua Rong went over and pointed at the sofa, smiling, "Please sit and have some fruit, I’ll go call your Uncle Chu."

"Thank you, Auntie." Chen Nan sat down.

But looking at the fruit plate on the coffee table, he had no appetite whatsoever.

He was really puzzled now. Chu Wenrou wasn’t home, so why did this couple call him over? Could it be they wanted to stop him from pursuing Chu Wenrou?

If that were the case, what should he do?

Beat up the couple and force them to marry their daughter off to him? This was clearly impossible!

While Chen Nan was conflicted, footsteps sounded and a short middle-aged man walked out from inside. When he saw Chen Nan, he smiled and said, "Hello, I am Chu Wenrou’s father, Chu Jianghai."

"Hello, Uncle Chu." Chen Nan quickly stood up.

Now he could finally understand Chu Wenrou’s height, with both parents not being tall, how could she grow tall?

"No need for formalities, sit quickly."

Chu Jianghai approached with a smile and sat on the sofa opposite Chen Nan.

Chen Nan naturally wouldn’t sit immediately. He waited until Chu Jianghai sat down before slowly sitting down himself; after all, the man was Chu Wenrou’s father, it was better to show some respect.

"Do you smoke?"

Chu Jianghai took out a packet of cigarettes and tossed one to Chen Nan, lighting one for himself.

Taking a deep drag, Chu Jianghai stared at Chen Nan, and after a moment, suddenly said, "I heard you want to woo my daughter?"

Chen Nan flicked the cigarette ashes toward the ashtray with his hand, smiling, "Uncle, I am pursuing Wenrou, not just wooing her."

"What makes you think you can pursue her?"

Chu Jianghai’s face suddenly turned cold as he said, "Besides your martial arts skills, you have neither money nor background, what makes you think you can pursue her?"

"Just because I’m a man, and she’s a woman," Chen Nan said.

Chu Jianghai snorted coldly and said, "What a joke, there are plenty of men in this world, even if they were lined up, it wouldn’t be your turn. I want you to stop bothering her, can you do that?"

"I can’t comply," Chen Nan said calmly.

Chu Jianghai’s face turned cold, raising his hand suddenly as he slammed it fiercely onto the coffee table.

"Crack..."

Inner Strength burst forth, the entire coffee table shattered in an instant.

Chu Jianghai burst forth with a tremendous aura; his originally short stature seemed much more imposing. He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Nan by the neck, lifting him off the sofa.

Chen Nan felt the terrifying level of Chu Jianghai’s cultivation, beyond what he could withstand.

Of course, even if he could withstand it, he wouldn’t resist.

He simply didn’t believe that Chu Jianghai would actually kill him!

However, he was also puzzled. With Chu Jianghai’s cultivation level so high, likely already at Earth Penetration High-level, how come as his daughter, Chu Wenrou had not the slightest Inner Strength? Why was this?

Chu Jianghai held his neck, coldly saying, "I’m warning you once more, don’t bother my daughter again."

"Uncle, I still say the same thing, I can’t comply." Chen Nan, despite his neck being grabbed, spoke with difficulty.

Chu Jianghai’s face was ice-cold, adding more force to his grip, "Brat, do you believe I could crush your throat right now?"

Chen Nan shook his head, "Uncle Chu, you’re my elder, I won’t fight you. However, if you want to kill me, it’s not going to be easy either."

Chu Jianghai stared into his eyes, his gaze like cold electricity.

Not dodging or avoiding, meeting his gaze directly.

After a full half-minute, seeing that Chen Nan showed not the slightest fear, Chu Jianghai suddenly laughed, releasing Chen Nan, saying, "You brat, no wonder you’re the disciple of the esteemed Xuan Tianji, you do have guts."

Chen Nan was startled, is he joking?

He couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Uncle, do you know my master?"

"More than just know, without the esteemed Xuan Tianji, I, Chu Jianghai, would have died long ago." Chu Jianghai sat back down on the sofa.

Though he didn’t elaborate, Chen Nan could understand; Xuan Tianji probably saved his life before. Chen Nan couldn’t help but ask, "So Uncle, why did you call me here; is it really to tell me to stay away from Wenrou?"

Chu Jianghai smiled bitterly, "What use is it for me to tell you to stay away, you brat wouldn’t obediently listen anyway."

Chen Nan scratched his head, chuckled and said, "Then are you trying to match us up?"

"The esteemed Xuan Tianji asked me for a favor, I must honor his request." Chu Jianghai placed a key on the coffee table and said, "Wenrou has a house near the school, and usually lives there. This is the house key; move in and develop your relationship with her."

Are they to live together?

Chen Nan was both excited and worried.

Excited because he got support from Chu Wenrou’s parents, raising his chances of success by half; worried because he already bought a house here, with Yun Fei and several other wives living there. If he went to live with Chu Wenrou, wouldn’t they kill him?

"What, not willing?"

Seeing Chen Nan hesitating to take the key, Chu Jianghai frowned and said.

Chen Nan snapped out of it, hurriedly took the key, and smiled, "Of course not. It’s just that I have a house here, and several friends live there, if I don’t go back, I’m afraid they won’t be happy."

"That’s your problem. Anyway, the key is given to you, whether you can win over my daughter depends on your own skills." Chu Jianghai said.

Chen Nan nodded repeatedly, saying with excitement, "Uncle, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

Chu Jianghai nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and said, "But you brat watch yourself, don’t get her pregnant!"

"..."

Chen Nan was speechless, this is how he educates juniors?
