Chapter 1 The Engagement...is gone...

"Chen Lu, Chen Lu..."

In a daze, Chen Lu heard a cry.

Chen Lu suddenly opened his eyes,

The first thing Chen Lu saw was the unfamiliar ceiling. The ceiling was a bit old.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lu saw a woman wearing a black cloth.

The next moment, all the memories rushed into Chen Lu's mind.

I was originally a young boy with blue starfish, an orphan, and a social animal.

One day, as soon as I went out, I was hit by a dump truck.

Then he crossed over to this world.

The name of the original owner of this world is also called Chen Lu.

He is a rich second generation from Los Angeles.

To be precise, he is the second generation of former rich people.

The original owner's parents died in a demonic disaster a year ago, and no bodies were left behind.

The original owner was addicted to brothels and gambling houses. In just one year, he lost all his property and even sold his big house.

Finally, the original owner pledged one hundred taels of gold to the bank with his Sijin ancestral home in the center of Luo City.

The original owner wanted to take a final gamble. The villa is close to the sea and the bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle!

As a result, I lost everything again...

If the one hundred taels of gold owed are not repaid within a year, then even this ancestral home will be confiscated to pay off the debt.

The woman wearing a black cloth in front of her, named Ye Qinglian, is the daughter of a good friend of the original owner's father. She lived with the original owner when she was a child and is the same age as the original owner.

Although the original owner was lustful, he had never touched Ye Qinglian at all.

Because when he was a child, the original owner played with fire and set the house on fire.

Although Ye Qinglian found out in time and rescued the original owner, the price was disfigurement.

The appearance of a little girl who was originally pure and beautiful made the original owner feel scared at first sight.

Moreover, the original owner also had some conscience in his heart and felt extremely guilty for this girl.

Later, after the Chen Mansion was defeated by the original owner, all the servants were dismissed, but Ye Qinglian did not leave.

It's not because Ye Qinglian likes the original owner.

It's because Ye Qinglian just wants to repay the original owner's parents for their adoption.

Recalling what happened before, Chen Lu felt that the original owner was really not a human being.

After the original owner lost all his family property for the first time and owed a lot of money, Ye Qinglian took out the dowry prepared by the original owner's parents.

As a result, the original owner lost all the money.

Even so, Ye Qinglian never complained, she just quietly worked as a female celebrity to support her family.

As for how the original owner died, a dark wind blew and the original owner died immediately.

"Qinglian, how long have I been lying here?"

Chen Lu sat up, his headache gradually relieved from receiving a large amount of memories.

"I've been lying down since I came back last night."

Ye Qinglian did not realize that Chen Lu had actually died once.

"Chen Lu, someone from the government came over just now and asked if you want to be a policeman."

"People from the Yamen?" Chen Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Well, the other party said that he is a good friend of the master. I heard that you are in trouble and can't afford to eat, so you have to rely on me to support you, so I want to help you."

"Go." Chen Lu nodded and agreed.

Ye Qinglian looked at Chen Lu with blinking eyes, a little surprised: "Are you really going?"

In Ye Qinglian's heart, Chen Lu, who is lazy and delicious, would definitely refuse.

Unexpectedly, he agreed directly.

"Yeah." Chen Lu nodded, "Actually, I thought about it for a long time yesterday. I shouldn't go on like this. I want to change my mind and turn around!"

"Chen Lu..."

"Um?"

"You're not possessed by evil, are you?"

"...No, I have really changed my mind!"

"All right."

Ye Qinglian could only accept it reluctantly.

For breakfast, Ye Qinglian and Chen Lu each had a meat bun and a bowl of white porridge.

Ye Qinglian took out the meat filling from the buns and put it into Chen Lu's bowl, then turned around and ate the bun wrappers.

Every time when eating, Ye Qinglian would turn around because he was afraid that his ruined face would scare Chen Lu.

Looking at Ye Qinglian's thin back, Chen Lu felt a little sad.

"Qinglian, come here and eat." Chen Lu shouted.

However, the girl with her back to Chen Lu just shook her head and continued to eat steamed bun skins and white porridge.

"I don't have much appetite today, so I'll give you this bun." Chen Lu handed over the bun he hadn't bitten.

Ye Qinglian covered her face and turned around to look, her eyes like glass blinking: "Chen Lu, you have to eat it, otherwise you will be hungry."

"I won't eat it! Who can eat such unpalatable food? If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

Ye Qinglian lowered his head slightly. In order to avoid the fate of the bun being thrown away, he picked up the bun and turned around, eating it in small bites.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, are you there? Mr. Chen!"

Just when the two of them had just finished breakfast and Qinglian was putting away the dishes, there was a faint sound of shouting from outside the courtyard door.

Chen Lu and Ye Qinglian opened the door and walked out.

"I wonder what the uncle wants from me?" Chen Lu asked doubtfully. Chen Lu assured that he had never seen this person before.

"Mr. Chen, I am the steward of the Wang family. I wonder if I can talk to you in the courtyard?" Steward Wang said with a smile.

"please."

Chen Lu still didn't remember who Butler Wang was.

"Sorry, there is no tea at home, please forgive me." Ye Qinglian poured them a glass of water.

"No problem, no problem." Butler Wang still kept smiling.

"What does Butler Wang want to do with Chen?" Chen Lu asked.

"Actually..." Butler Wang paused to organize his words, "Actually, I'm here to break off the engagement for the young lady."

"Breaking off the engagement? Is it such an old-fashioned way?"

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment.

Wait... the palace... breaks off the engagement...

I blanch!

I remembered!

The original owner did have such a fiancée.

This goes back thirty years.

Thirty years ago, the Chen family was not yet prosperous.

When he was in Linjiang City, Chen's father was very poor and about to starve to death. It was the Wang family who took Chen's father in and gave him a mouthful of food.

Later, Chen's father became rich and wanted to repay the favor to the Wang family, but the Wang family refused.

But in the end both parties made an agreement.

It means that the first child of both parties will be married as brothers and sisters if they are of the same sex, and as a baby if they are of the opposite sex.

After that, the Chen family grew bigger and bigger, Chen's father was too busy, and the Wang family was too far away from Luocheng, and transportation was not convenient in ancient times.

Although the two families have continued to exchange letters, the original man has never met his fiancée at all.

Moreover, I am very thoughtful and opposed to arranged marriages.

Okay, let’s not talk about those useless things.

My original self actually wanted to be a prostitute and didn't want to get married so early...

Especially after hearing that the daughter of the Wang family had an extremely hot temper, and that one of them once broke down a street, she didn't even want to marry her, even if she had never met her in person.

Even at that time, the original person sent a divorce letter to the Wang family without authorization, and also included a brothel girl's bellyband.

At that time, Chen's father and mother were so angry that they hung him up and beat him.

I heard that the daughter of the Wang family was so angry that she wanted to come to Luocheng with a knife to chop Chen Lu.

Even after Chen's father kept apologizing, serious cracks still appeared in the relationship between the Chen family and the Wang family.

As for the marriage contract, I don’t know what happened to the original person. Anyway, neither family mentioned it again after that.

Good guy, now that the tide has turned, is it your turn to be divorced?

"Mr. Chen, in fact, you and our young lady are not related by fate, and some of the things Mr. Chen did before... I won't mention them here."

Butler Wang waved his hand.

The two maids opened the box they were holding, and inside were all golden gold ingots!

"This is our little thought, a hundred taels of gold. If you don't mind, Mr. Chen, please accept it.

As for the engagement at that time, please let me take it back."

"The engagement...is missing..."

Chen Lu closed his eyes.

Why close your eyes?

Without him, I have never seen so much gold...it's a bit dazzling.

Steward Wang frowned: "Mr. Chen, this would be meaningless."

"No." Chen Lu opened his eyes and looked at Butler Wang seriously, "I really can't give you the engagement contract. It's really gone and can't be found."

Chen Lu was also helpless.

That engagement letter is really gone.

At that time, the original owner also looked for it and wanted to burn it, but he couldn't find it.

"..." But in Butler Wang's opinion, the engagement contract could not be found, and Chen Lu just didn't want to break off the engagement.

Also, now that the Chen family is in decline and the Wang family is at its peak, how could the other party break off the engagement!

However, I will never let this prodigal dandy marry my own lady!

"In this case, we will come back later. I hope Mr. Chen will not go too far. Let's go."

Butler Wang waved his hand and led the maid outside.

"Eh no...

Butler Wang......

Butler Wang..."

Chen Lu was a little anxious,

Can this not be urgent?

The original person has lost all his money and still owes so much money. These compensation diamonds can be used to repay the money!

But Butler Wang left without looking back.

"well......"

Chen Lu sighed softly and turned around to walk into the courtyard.

【Ding.......】

But at this moment, a voice sounded from Chen Lu's mind.

[Although it is late, it is here. The system is awakened and the host is bound. 】

"Tie!" Chen Lu was overjoyed!

What is the system?!

It's light!

It's hot!

It is my only warmth in this strange world...

[Congratulations to the host for binding the "Daily Task System". 】

[Remaining lifespan of the host - one day.]

[Daily task - Ask the host to get the bellyband of the hostess next door before midnight today. 】

"????"
