Chapter One: The First chapter

Sir, please join Sue's family and marry my granddaughter, who is waiting outside the door.

My Su family has served you for two hundred years, and now the family is in decline. If you refuse to agree, the hard work accumulated by the Su family for several generations will be completely destroyed in less than five years.

I know that it is very condescending to marry my granddaughter in your position, but I have no choice, all the descendants of the Su family are wine and meat bags, and it is difficult to revive the Su family except you.

All I have left is these last two months of my life.

An old man with white hair and crutches, weak and suffering from serious diseases, cloudy eyes full of begging, opened his mouth to speak at the same time, extremely irrational, kneeling in front of a young man who looked only in his early twenties.

Xiao Jun, money and other things, it is better to die, I want to die, but do you know what kind of pain it is to live for 5,000 years? Young people look beautiful, young, the expression is very different, revealing a deep sense of change.

The old man's full name is Thomas Jennings, and he is the master of a second-rate family in Dongling area.

In the whole Dongling City, Thomas Jennings that is a person with a head and a face, the famous iron character, but uncharacteristically kneeling in front of the young man, a snot a tear.

Master, you have lived forever in youth from ancient times to modern times, used countless identities, and encountered countless things. How can my attitude compare with you? I really can't bear to see the Su family completely collapse in the future. Thomas Jennings was in tears, crying like a child.

Every seven days, Thomas Jennings goes up the mountain alone, rain or shine, for decades, just to serve this young man, Hollie Barrett!

No one knows more about Hollie Barrett than Thomas Jennings, a man who lived for 5,000 years!

The ancestors of the Su family met and served Hollie Barrett for many years in the early years, and only by chance did they win the care of Hollie Barrett and become a once-flourishing family.

Only later due to the changes of The Times, the Su family is now facing a crisis of decline, from one of the three major families in Jiang Province decades ago, gradually shrinking to Dongling City, becoming a second-rate family.

The reason it's declining is because Hollie Barrett, 70 years ago, suddenly got bored and went to the mountains to hide.

Seventy years later, those relatives of the Sue family who knew Hollie Barrett had died one by one, and now Thomas Jennings was the only one left, and only had two months to live.

In order to restore the former glory of Su's family, Thomas Jennings carried a serious illness and fought his life to climb to the mountain. He also personally brought his granddaughter Alex Lane with him and asked Hollie Barrett to join Su's family and give her a helping hand.

By the way, I have not come down from the mountain for nearly 70 years, although the outside world can occasionally understand some things from your mouth, but you should be very clear that the Su family as the ninth servant family to serve me, no wealth and power can last forever, so why should you be upset about it? Hollie Barrett pinched and pointed, but shook his head in denial.

Jiang Province days, all these years to our Sue family all kinds of blows, now reduced to the second-rate family, the day family is not willing to let us go, if the master does not personally out of the mountain, I this life is dead, also not willing ah, and the Sue family for generations to serve the master, no credit also have hard work, also please master out of the mountain, in the name of the Sue family son-in-law, take over the Sue family. Thomas Jennings, his eyes wet, bends over and kowtows.

Xiao Jun, since your father died, you have been waiting on me, for decades on time, is indeed a great achievement, since you are so sincere to ask me, then for the sake of affection, I will reluctantly, come down to help you once, after all, you are my younger generation. Hollie Barrett sighed. After all, she still couldn't bear to be hard-hearted to the people close to her.

Five thousand years have made Hollie Barrett understand that wealth and power are meaningless, and only the truth is the most valuable.

Immortality is a dream to others.

But for Hollie Barrett, who has experienced this, it is a bottomless pit of pain and suffering.

During this long time, Hollie Barrett could not count how many identities he had used. As a result, no matter what method he used, he could not die. He even traveled all over the country, trying to solve the secret of immortality, but he never got the answer at last, so he hid in the mountains and forests.

Several times before Thomas Jennings went up the mountain, he said that the current society has changed a lot, the science and technology is very developed, it is uncertain that he can find the reason for his immortality through medical means, so he was moved to go down the mountain.

Thank you, Sir, I will take you to see my granddaughter, but because of your identity, after we meet, it is inevitable that you will be wronged, and please understand. Thomas Jennings was beaming with joy and immediately laughed like a child. He wiped away his tears and snot, picked up his crutches and got up with a cheeky smile.

Outside the door.

Alex Lane was stunned, surveying his surroundings.

It is surrounded by wild and grassy mountains, it does not seem like a place where people live, and there may be tigers and wolves at night.

And in front of this deep mountain broken house, located on the mountainside, the stone in front of the door with blood, as well as a few residual bones, unbelievable.

What era, there are still people living in this place, grandpa every seven days, is here? Alex Lane was dressed in neat business clothes and was confused.

Nearby, Alex Lane's parents, Isabella Benson and Riley Bell, looked even more disgusted.

Before the old man came here, he clearly told us that he was arranging an object for you, I thought it was the young master of which one, and then he brought us to this desert mountain? Isabella Benson's mouth twitched, and the large mole on the left side of her face quivered, seriously doubting the Don's dementia.

Are they not savages who live here? How there are blood and bones in front of the door, our family Xiao Jing, look so beautiful, I don't know how many people pursue, the old man is playing a joke on us. Riley Bell pointed and couldn't wait to leave.

Wife, I don't know. Isabella Benson touched the Mediterranean in distress.

You loser, I married you is really bad luck, you are not in the Su family even if it is not good, now the old man is so biased, to our daughter randomly arranged marriage, this is not purely to drive us away from the Su family? Riley Bell folded his arms over his chest, his chest heaving with anger.

Isabella Benson swallowed, didn't dare talk back, no problem with henpecking.

Grandpa wouldn't really do that to us, would he? Alex Lane said in disbelief.

How is it impossible? Don't you and I know what your dad's capable of? And the hospital has said that the old man can only last two months, the body is terrible, and now still insist on coming here, how to stop all can not stop, I really wonder, is there gold here? I see nothing but a pile of leftover bones. Riley Bell said with an angry look on her face.

Perhaps Grandpa meant something else? Alex Lane looked up at the broken house, since she began to understand, she knew that Pops must go out alone every seven days, and never let anyone follow, rain or shine for decades.

The relatives inside the Su family are all guessing that the old man must be hiding a vault!

After all, the Su family in the past, at least once had a rich side, is one of the three families in Jiang province, although now not completed so, but the family up and down, or think that the old man has hidden deposits.

There is a fart meaning, I think the old man is confused, I am afraid that the will, there is no our names. Riley Bell whispered, snobbish like a bitch.

Isabella Benson, who stood beside her, not daring to contradict her, even agreed with the statement.

Riley Bell was about to swear again when he heard the door open and shut his mouth.

Thomas Jennings came out on crutches with a smile on his face, and his appearance was rosy. He said, Xiao Jing, grandpa has arranged things for you. Tomorrow you will go to get the license with Hollie Barrett and get married within two months.

With that, Hollie Barrett comes out from behind.

Her long, knotted black hair, combined with a washed yellow coat, made her look like a rush-like savage from the last century. Riley Bell and Isabella Benson made her eyes pop.

Father, are you crazy? What kind of marriage is this? Riley Bell said anxiously.

Yes, it is clear that you gave Xiao Jing, found a savage, or pure kind, this hair is fast growing lice! Isabella Benson almost lost her tongue.

When struck by lightning, Alex Lane couldn't believe it. Grandpa, he asked, Are you serious?

To be honest, Hollie Barrett is joining our Sue family from today. With him in the Sue family, the Sue family will certainly not decline in the future, and maybe it can return to glory. Thomas Jennings was ecstatic.

When Riley Bell and Isabella Benson saw it, they thought it was crazy!

You want me to marry him? Alex Lane said in disbelief, looking wronged.

Xiao Jing, don't underestimate Hollie Barrett. Hollie Barrett is very powerful. After you marry him, you won't regret it. Thomas Jennings pretended to be an elder and patted Hollie Barrett on the shoulder. In fact, he was very cautious. In terms of age, the ancestors of the Su family were not older than Hollie Barrett!

Plus, Thomas Jennings, who grew up serving, was the one who knew Hollie Barrett's skills the best.

An immortal for five thousand years, once helped Qin Shi Huang unify the six countries, won the world for Li Shimin, and even personally served as the emperor of the opening Dynasty, accumulating untold wealth and the peak of power, this kind of person will have no ability?

Pops, I don't agree, this is ridiculous, we Sue family, how to meet people? Riley Bell could not help but refute, this and her imagination of a rich son-in-law, is completely different, if Hollie Barrett to be a son-in-law, then her face is lost, a savage can do what, in the future, she can not hold up her head in front of relatives and friends.

If you disagree, you have to agree. Thomas Jennings firmly said that in the whole Su family, there is an undeniable position.

Riley Bell didn't have the courage to talk back, so he could only bite his teeth reluctantly, and looked at Hollie Barrett with disgust on his face. The more he looked, the more angry he became.

Isabella Benson shuddered. He was usually such a useless wimp. Riley Bell was afraid to say anything.

Is this my wife now? He looks good. Hollie Barrett nodded her head in appreciation. She did not expect Thomas Jennings' granddaughter to be so outstanding and look like a young lady, but she only appreciated her.

A present wife? Was he married? Alex Lane asked, looking moved.

Cough cough cough, no no, Xiao jing you rest assured, grandpa's eyes must be right. Thomas Jennings coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, thinking that his granddaughter should be satisfied. When he was the emperor in person, it was a harem of 3,000 women. Marrying Hollie Barrett was a blessing that could not be achieved in eight lifetimes, and it was nice to be praised by Hollie Barrett. Is already very rare.

Hollie Barrett, you're my granddaughter from now on, and with you at Sue's house, I'm at peace. Thomas Jennings winked secretly.

Thank you, Sir. I'll be good to her. Hollie Barrett cooperated for a moment, thinking that after staying in the mountain for so many years, it was indeed time to go out for a walk, to see if he could find out the reason, and to finish what he promised Su's family by the way.

Alex Lane smiled wryly, she actually wanted to marry a savage, for this arrangement can do nothing, even if she no matter how unwilling, there is an unspeakable sense of exclusion, but also have to listen to Thomas Jennings arrangement.

The order of the elders, the words of the matchmaker.

This is the rule of the Sue family, the younger generation has no right to refuse!

Chapter II Employment

The Sue family compound.

A group of Su family relatives, around the long table, the expression is extremely strange.

'Is it true?

The Don brought back a wild man from the mountains?

This wild man is going to marry Sue and Alex Lane?

With the discussion between relatives, the whole family meeting, suddenly burst into laughter.

Alex Lane nibbled his red lip and felt like a man on pins and needles. His slender hands were under the table, clutching the corners of his clothes, not daring to look at the eyes of others. He wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Riley Bell was so angry that his face turned liver color, he could not help but beat the table and shouted, What do you mean when you say such things in front of me? When Pops comes, I'll push it away with all my might."

Yes, how can Xiao Jing marry this kind of person, the old man is confused. Isabella Benson rose to her feet and would not have spoken if Riley Bell had not taken the lead.

Brother and sister, I think this marriage is good, the old man has been smart all his life, how can he be confused, and the old man's illness, you are not not clear, you should not at this time, but also angry with him? That is unfilial!" Su Guocai skin laugh meat do not laugh up, heart a dark cool.

The old man also do not know what happened, suddenly took a face home, threatening that this will be Sue's son-in-law!

The will hasn't officially been made public yet, and when Pops dies, someone must inherit the estate.

There is no doubt that the Don is favouritism to his Soviet wealth, and at this juncture is forcing Isabella Benson and her family to leave the house of Sue!

Won't he have the whole Sue family by then?

Brother, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, isn't it just that you want us to leave Sue's house? Don't even think about it." Riley Bell fumed.

That does not leave the Sue home, you can only obey the arrangements of the old man, let Alex Lane marry that person, I will be you agreed, later the old man to bring people over, I tell him face to face, after all, I am Xiao Jing's uncle, her life event, I am also quite nervous. Soviet wealth pretentious opening.

Yes, yes, yes, my father is right, I will ask each other later, the next betrothal gift or something. Su Mingyun sneered.

Father and son, singing together.

Around the Su family relatives, but also laugh up and down.

Riley Bell was so angry that he couldn't say anything back, so he sat down, glared at Isabella Benson, and whispered, Sue, look at you, you have no status in Sue's family, you can't even find anyone to help you, and I think Pops is just trying to get us out this time.

But we can't leave, or what will we do? I think I'll have to do what the Don wants. Isabella Benson hung her head.

When it comes to the savage I will be angry, Xiao Jing so good foundation, so many people outside chasing her, marry the savage is really a big loss, I really don't understand how the old man is thinking. Riley Bell groaned.

Alex Lane lowered his head, his delicate and delicate face revealed deep grievances, and his eyes gradually wetted.

If the old man's arrangement is a normal person, even if she has no way to refuse, she can reluctantly accept it and get along slowly first.

But now this isn't a normal person at all, it's a real savage!

Just then.

Thomas Jennings came in from the outside.

The table discussion of relatives immediately shut up and stopped, and got up to meet.

And behind Thomas Jennings, sure enough, there was a wild man with knotted hair!

Upon seeing the appearance of this savage, Su Guocai and his son could not help looking at each other, revealing an unprecedented pride, only feeling that the future Su family property would inevitably fall into the hands of their father and son.

Oh, so this is Guodong's son-in-law. Soviet wealth pretended to be happy.

Although the hair is a little longer and the clothes are a little shabby, he is still quite good looking. He is a good person to look at. Su Mingyun echoed.

Isabella Benson was furious.

Riley Bell felt the urge to flip the table, but she didn't have the guts to do it in front of Pops.

Over the years, due to Isabella Benson's lack of ability and constant rejection, Su Guocai and his son are the most powerful in the whole Su family, and Alex Lane is involved in the Su family company, are not used at all, but fortunately, life is still stable, even if there is no savings.

Especially at this juncture, dare to play in front of the old man, that is really unfilial, will be seized by the Su wealth father and son, then don't think about can have sweet to eat!

Isabella Benson can't be any more useless, and that's Sue, too, so there should be some sort of share in the will, right?

Riley Bell thought about it, the biggest injustice Alex Lane, wait for the old guy to die, and then divorce the savage!

It'll be quick.

Thomas Jennings sat at the head of the table, and specially arranged Hollie Barrett to sit next to him, his face was still happy.

Hollie Barrett scanned his surroundings and shook his head.

Seventy years ago, when he had not yet lived in seclusion on the mountain, the Su family was rich and prosperous.

Did not think that in the blink of an eye, the Su family was actually down to such a degree, the home even a decent antique can not see, there are a lot of fake fake goods, used as a facade.

Noticing Hollie Barrett's shaking of his head, Thomas Jennings felt ashamed of himself.

Su's family was indeed very beautiful in the past, but after Hollie Barrett's seclusion, he offended the Tianjia of Jiang Province, and after years of oppression and target, his life was deteriorating day by day.

Thomas Jennings was also an important man, and he had not told Hollie Barrett until recently, when he went to the hospital for physical examination and found that the liver cancer had spread to the advanced stage and only had two months left to live. In order to save Sue's family, he had to ask Hollie Barrett to come out of the hospital.

But now that Hollie Barrett is here, it means that the Sue family has been saved, and Thomas Jennings is quite happy.

Although Hollie Barrett has long downplayed wealth and power, it does not mean that Hollie Barrett has no ability and no wealth!

So Thomas Jennings pressed his hand to suppress the noise around him and said, This is Hollie Barrett, the grandson of an old friend of mine, and he will be a member of our Sue family in the future. I hope you will treat him as if he were your own family.

This identity was agreed upon by Thomas Jennings and Hollie Barrett before we came in here.

Along with the new ID, Thomas Jennings already had Hollie Barrett ready by paying for his connections.

Since it is the old man's arrangement, then I think there must be your deep meaning in it, just now my brother and sister have said that they agree with this marriage, and I also express my full support. Su Guocai pretended to smile.

Alex Lane slowly looked up and looked at the appearance of Hollie Barrett. He looked even more aggrieved and his nail sank into his palm.

Hollie Barrett looks at Alex Lane and smiles.

Alex Lane looked away in humiliation and thought, What's so funny about this? I'm not laughing at all!

So from now on, we are all members of our own family, people do not say secret words, and the marriage must be conducted according to the rules, I wonder what kind of dowry Hollie Barrett you plan to give? How much is the bride price?" Su Mingyun weird opening, the heart of a schadenfreude.

Hearing the betrothal gift, Riley Bell's back teeth were about to break, disgusted to the extreme.

What kind of money does a wild man from the mountains have? Like a hillbilly.

My beautiful daughter was supposed to marry into a rich family!

Isabella Benson's face was livid, but she could not say a word, thinking what a bad life it must have been to have such a son-in-law!

Yes, the rules must be followed, and the betrothal price cannot be less.

At least an apartment downtown?

With a car that costs half a million, it's barely enough.

Looking at the expression of the Riley Bell family, Su Guocai did not laugh out of desperation, and secretly called for pleasure and said: Old man, Xiao Jing anyway, that is also the most beautiful young generation of our Su family, how much Hollie Barrett plans to pay?

You're making a mistake. Hollie Barrett was married to Sue's family, so there's no dowry. Thomas Jennings suddenly spoke out of surprise, but also very serious emphasis.

Hearing this, Su Mingyun couldn't help laughing and laughing out loud.

Why are you laughing? Thomas Jennings scowled.

Old man, I am happy for Xiao Jing, oh, Xiao Jing finally want to marry out. Su Mingyun really want to find a place, good laugh out, but in front of the old man, can not be too presumptuous.

I'm all for this. Su Guocai look proud, has decided that the old man is going to give the property to him, otherwise how can it do so?

Riley Bell's hands were shaking.

Isabella Benson had no face at all.

I Alex Lane was in complete despair.

No, although it is a burden, but still have to mean, should give or give. Hollie Barrett suddenly raises her hand.

How dare Hollie Barrett Thomas Jennings accept it? Hollie Barrett is willing to personally go down the mountain to help him, which is already a great kindness.

As a result, before Thomas Jennings finished his speech, he was directly interrupted by Soviet finance: You are right, the meaning should be, I don't know Hollie Barrett, what do you plan to mean? But even if you can't pay, we won't make it hard for you, and don't try to be too brave, young man."

Hollie Barrett nodded, took out a jade pendant from his arms, gently placed it on the table, and said, Take this as the betrothal gift.

Let me see. Su Guocai did not understand, quickly took it to see, see the above tattoo dragon painting tiger, although can not recognize the history, but still deliberately mocking the opening: Oh, this jade pendant, I see is a baby, it is estimated that in the downtown inside, buy ten suites!

More than 10 sets, at least 20 sets, this is an antique. Su Mingyun added vinegar said.

Around the Su family relatives, repressed laughter, suppressed the face red.

A wild man? What kind of antique did you get? It is purely the son and son of Su Guo CAI, who deliberately said so.

Su Guocai, don't go too far. Riley Bell's blood pressure's up.

"What have I done to me? How can you not be grateful, this is a priceless antique, people did not even blink an eye to give it, I would like to ask you what you
