Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 525: She is the reincarnation of your Ancestor Grandmother.
Shencheng.
Chen Ke stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the view that captured the most bustling riverscape of Shencheng, somewhat in disbelief.
"Are you sure this is the house he gave you?"
She was stunned.
Jiang Ruolin took out the property deed with a bit of pride, smiling without saying a word.
After snatching the property deed and seeing the name on it, Chen Ke exclaimed, "Damn."
Then she did not hold back from wandering aimlessly around the apartment that spanned over five hundred square meters.
Every time she opened a door to a room, she exclaimed, "Wow."
"Over there you can see the Hong Kong District, and here you can see the most bustling night view of First Bend..."
After exploring the whole large flat, Chen Ke said with a tut, "Ruolin, are you in need of a maid? How about I play the part of the accompanying bride?"
Jiang Ruolin gave her a look.
Chen Ke touched the built-in wine cabinet in the apartment while reflecting, "I was wondering why you weren’t interested in the Bai Family, and how you’d be willing to be someone’s concubine. Turns out this guy is really generous. I wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a lavish husband."
Jiang Ruolin just laughed, feeling like she was in a dream herself.
She had only heard Gu Feng say he wanted to give her an apartment, and these past two days she felt like she was dreaming.
Especially because this was Shencheng, not a city where you could buy a house just because you were rich.
Your ancestors had to have at least the strength of a fifth-level Cultivation Country to apply. The Bai Family also had a house in Shencheng, but definitely not in this location and not of this colossal size and scale.
"What about this man’s clan and family members?" Chen Ke curiously asked, "Is it usually just the two of you living here?"
Jiang Ruolin nodded, "His clan has their own main residence, said to be bigger than this. He originally wanted me to live there, but I was afraid of embarrassing him, so I dare not meet his clan yet. That’s why he gave this one to me."
"Even bigger than this one?" Chen Ke became more astonished, "Then how powerful must this man’s family background be? I’ve heard online that usually only descendants of Outer Domain forces are qualified to live in this kind of high-end large flat."
Jiang Ruolin explained, "That’s why I’m a bit afraid to go back with him to face his clan. I want to become stronger first; otherwise, I’m afraid he’d be ridiculed by his own people."
With understanding, Chen Ke asked, "Hasn’t he given you resources for Cultivation?"
Jiang Ruolin replied, "He has."
Chen Ke inquired, "Haven’t you broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage yet?"
Jiang Ruolin said, "I’ve reached Core Formation."
"What did you say?" Chen Ke thought she misheard, "Weren’t you just preparing to break through Foundation Establishment a while ago? How did you achieve Core Formation already?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Ruolin casually showed her Golden Core, "Here."
Chen Ke was completely dumbfounded, "Awesome, is this the efficiency of a large family? No wonder so many people from the lower classes are desperate to pledge allegiance to a family, even if just as dogs; these scraps are already heights we could never reach in our lifetimes."
"Ruolin, you’ve really taken off this time," Chen Ke excitedly said, "When are you bringing this man of yours to visit your hometown and shut up that noisy bunch? I can’t stand hearing those villagers advising their daughters against marrying while using you as a negative example, saying not to find a Mortal husband like you did."
Jiang Ruolin laughed, "How would they react if they knew I was only a concubine? Wouldn’t they mock me even more?"
"Definitely," Chen Ke nodded vigorously, "That group is still talking about how it’s a good thing you didn’t marry the young master of the Bai Family; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the chance to climb the ranks with the lady from an Outer Domain force."
Chen Ke spoke with a gossipy tone, "After your family refused Bai Suo’s proposal, he turned around and accepted an arranged marriage. His family’s ancestor made connections with a Level 8 Cultivation Family from the Outer Domain. His wife, although not from the Clan Leader’s direct lineage, is nevertheless a miss from the core branch of the family. Unless something unexpected happens, Bai Suo is likely to rise swiftly. With a wife from a superior realm to support him, he will certainly be able to secure his position within the family."
Bai Suo is the young master of the Bai Family.
He had been secretly in love with Jiang Ruolin during their school days.
But Jiang Ruolin felt nothing for him, treating him merely as a schoolmate, their interactions limited to casual greetings.
Jiang Ruolin showed little interest in these topics, "In the future, don’t mention other people of the opposite sex in front of Gu Feng. I’m afraid he might misunderstand."
"Oh, oh, oh," Chen Ke responded dramatically, "Are you starting to distance yourself now? There’s nothing between you and that Bai surname. At the most, it’s just a one-sided, unrequited love from him. What’s there to fear?"
Jiang Ruolin replied, "I have a clear conscience, my Origin Yin is still with me. But men, more or less, tend to be a bit petty. I’m worried Gu Feng might feel uncomfortable if he hears such talk. Since I’ve chosen to be his concubine, I must be a qualified wife."
Chen Ke was puzzled, "If he’s letting you be the principal wife, why settle for being a concubine?"
Jiang Ruolin confessed to her childhood friend, "I’m afraid that, if one day I can’t restrain myself and end up attacking my enemies, should I fail, being just a concubine won’t bring trouble upon Gu Feng. But if I were the principal wife, that would be a different matter altogether."
Chen Ke suddenly understood.
In the world of cultivation, those powerful cultivators often have countless dual cultivation partners in their lifetimes.
Some may be just temporary needs or for the purpose of breaking through their own limits.
Therefore, these cultivator greats have been with countless women in their lifetimes, and these women, considering themselves ’concubines,’ seek to gain a foothold and protect themselves in the Cultivation World.
In the Cultivation World, it is a common understanding that these concubines are fundamentally tools without emotion, a performance put up by the greats to support their own status.
Hence, no major family would confront another family over the actions of a mere concubine.
Within the Gu Mansion, Gu Feng was also candid with his younger relatives.
"She is the reincarnation of your Ancestor Grandmother. Once her cultivation reaches a certain realm and she comprehends some Time Laws, she will recall the memories of her past life."
Gu Weimin, his nephew, and Gu Yuanqi nodded in agreement.
They had originally thought that the Ancestor intended to find a concubine.
Little did they know that Miss Jiang Ruolin had such a significant origin, being the reincarnation of their Ancestor Grandmother!
When they thought of the Ancestor Grandmother, the descendants of the Gu Family also felt a wave of emotion.
Through the family tree and historical deeds, they knew some stories about the Royal Family of the Ancestor Grandmother.
Not only did she incur irreversible damage to her Foundation Establishment while operating the Compass, but more so, the Ancestor Grandmother died of lovesickness.
The people of the Gu Family knew that for more than two thousand years, the Ancestor Grandmother spent her days solely in search of the Ancestor’s whereabouts.
These relatives made up their minds that if they met Jiang Ruolin, they would definitely treat her with the utmost respect and try to make her happy as a way of showing filial piety to their ancient ancestor.
Of course, they hoped that by behaving well before the Ancestor Grandmother regained her past-life memories, they could avoid her scolding them for letting the Gu Family fall into decline upon her remembrance.
Gu Feng ordered, "During this period, I want you all to go and perfect the Teleportation Arrays in all the cities around the globe."
Gu Weimin and the others promptly bowed, "Yes, Ancestor!"
Aside from Gu Yuanqi, the five elder ancestors of the Gu Family possessed the strength to efficiently expand and construct Teleportation Arrays in other cities of Earth.
This was also their way of announcing the Gu Family’s return to control over Earth to the global community.
