Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 1520 - 508: Rich Lady (Part 4)

"Sixth sister, let’s not talk about this now. Let’s go over there and take a look!"

Vivian said to Xia Lan.

"Alright!"

Xia Lan nodded.

At this moment, just as Su Ming was about to further confront Lena, a familiar voice called out.

"Mr. Su Ming!"

Su Ming was slightly startled and turned around, only to see Xia Lan and Vivian emerging from the crowd.

"Miss Xia Lan, Miss Vivian."

Su Ming greeted politely.

"Mr. Su Ming, what’s happened to you? Are you in some kind of trouble?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Vivian elegantly curtsied and asked with a smile.

"This lady here has inexplicably claimed I’m her husband and has swindled a lot of money."

Su Ming replied rather helplessly.

"Huh?"

Vivian and Xia Lan were taken aback upon hearing this.

Then they looked at Lena with surprise and said.

"Isn’t this Miss Lena from the Kadinglo family?"

"Kadinglo family?"

Su Ming’s eyelid twitched slightly upon hearing the family’s name; this was no small family. If he remembered correctly, they seemed to be the seventh family of Saint Joex, primarily dealing in long-distance interstellar transport.

"Xia Lan, you be the judge. Su Ming has abandoned me despite promising a lifetime together."

Lena cried to the two of them.

Upon hearing Lena’s words, Xia Lan looked at Su Ming and asked with a smile.

"Su Ming, so you like them plump?"

"No way, don’t talk nonsense. I just think slightly fuller girls are nice, but I wouldn’t go as far as to fancy a fat pig."

Su Ming retorted irritably, confident that there was nothing wrong with his taste.

Xia Lan saw that Su Ming was a bit annoyed, and then turned to Lena.

"Lena, I’m not trying to put you down, but you were probably deceived. Even if Su Ming has terrible taste, he wouldn’t fancy you, let alone cheat you out of money."

"Xia Lan, you are so excessive. Are you trying to steal my husband?"

Lena was instantly furious, accusing indignantly.

"Oh, if my opponent was only you, that would be great!"

Xia Lan replied with a sigh.

"You!"

Lena’s face instantly turned red with anger.

At this moment, Vivian also chimed in.

"Lena, stop causing a scene here. You should quickly go find that con artist."

"Alright, all of you are bullying me; this is not over. I won’t let you take my husband."

Lena said angrily.

"Lena, let’s go."

Just then, Lena’s sister beside her, seeing Xia Lan and Vivian standing up for Su Ming, could only pull her away.

Although they were children from prominent families, there were levels.

The Heavenly Base family was second only to the Morris Family, and Vivian was the apple of the Heavenly Base Clan Leader’s eye; offending them would be disastrous.

Su Ming saw that the spectacle had ended and breathed a slight sigh of relief,

Xia Lan turned to the crowd watching the drama and shouted.

"Alright, let’s disperse everyone!"

The onlookers gradually left, chatting amongst themselves.

At this moment, Vivian smiled and said.

"Mr. Su Ming, it’s been two years since we last met at the Abyss of Descent."

"Yes, I even thought you were avoiding us."

Xia Lan followed up with a cheerful laugh.

"Miss Xia Lan, you’re kidding; why would I avoid you?"

Just as Su Ming said halfway, his expression immediately froze, suddenly remembering something: he still owed Vivian a Level 6 Black Energy Crystal worth 300 billion Federation Coins.

Now that he had lost the Dawn Spear, if the Federation assigns him a VI Generation Mecha in the future, there would be no way to reimburse it. Moreover, with Long Bai in charge of the Federation and finances being tight, he couldn’t possibly ask her for it, right?

Furthermore, although City Lord Alicia allocated him materials worth 50 billion Federation Coins, all this massive amount was squandered by Rhein, exchanged for weapons. In other words, he basically had no money now.

If Vivian were to ask him to repay the money now, it’d be really embarrassing.

"Mr. Su Ming, what’s the matter?"

Vivian acutely sensed the change in Su Ming’s expression.

"Nothing, let me introduce you. This is Dragon Ying, the Legion Commander of the Federation’s Fourteenth Legion. These two are Miss Xia Lan and Miss Vivian from the Heavenly Base family."

Su Ming quickly said with a smile.

"We know each other."

Dragon Ying said with a smile.

"Yes, although not very well."

Xia Lan nodded in agreement.

"You all know each other? That’s great."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

At this moment, Vivian suggested with a smile.

"Mr. Su Ming, given the rare chance to encounter everyone here today, why don’t we find a restaurant and have a proper gathering?"

"Sure!"

Su Ming readily agreed without hesitation.

He himself was worried about not finding a chance to inquire about the Moke Duo Clan Leader, and now he could just ask.

"Let’s go to the Sea Breeze Restaurant; the ambiance and dishes there are quite nice."

Xia Lan immediately suggested.

"Sounds good!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement.

"Alright, let’s go then!"

Vivian led Su Ming and the others up ahead.

Very soon, they arrived at a uniquely decorated restaurant. The entire restaurant was shaped like a shell, with the street-side area propping up white sun umbrellas, placing leisurely tables where several guests sat enjoying tea, admiring the river streams and the distant, surging waterfall.

Vivian led Su Ming and the others directly into the store.

The interior was exquisitely decorated; colorful seashells embedded in the ceiling and blue square tiles laid on the floor, with soothing music playing.

At this moment, the proprietress walked over, wearing a red cheongsam, plump in stature, with a pair of alluring eyes and a flower-like smile.

"Welcome, esteemed guests!"

"Manager Alin, please find us a quiet spot."
