I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Learning from the Guo family's example.

Once they arrived at the Sun family's place, everything became incredibly smooth.

Sun Hao, accompanied by a large group of people, stood respectfully at the entrance to welcome Lu Xuan and his entourage.

The situation is completely different from that of the Guo family.

Seeing the grand spectacle Sun Hao had put on, Lu Xuan couldn't help but nod in approval. Indeed, those who know when to yield are wise.

"Master Sun, how have you been?"

Lu Xuan stepped forward and said.

When Sun Hao saw Lu Xuan approaching, he ran up to him in small, quick steps.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, we've been waiting for you!"

"Please come in, please come in..."

"Ever since that incident, I've really reflected on my actions and made a huge sacrifice. I'm determined that nothing like that will ever happen again!"

Sun Hao also looked remorseful and appeared quite sincere in front of Lu Xuan.

Seeing Sun Hao's performance, Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Hmm... It's good that he knows he was wrong. I went to the Guo family earlier, but that kid still didn't realize his mistake. You should know what happened later."

Lu Xuan said as he walked.

Although there was no threat intended, Sun Hao felt a chill run down his spine as soon as he heard those words.

The tragic state of the Guo family is still fresh in our minds.

I really can't imagine it.

Of course, with so many members of the Guo family dead, the Guo family's business empire had also come to an end.

It's estimated that many people will be frantically trying to snatch it at this time.

Meanwhile, Sun Hao also wanted to see what Lu Xuan thought first.

Let's see if we can acquire the Guo family's businesses later.

Although he lost the Prince of Xiping as his backer, Sun Hao can find a new one!

The world is not ruled solely by the Prince of Xiping.

That hateful old steward actually killed the Prince of Xiping, which made the situation of these families extremely bad.

"Those Guo family members are ungrateful. Hehe, don't worry, Elder Lu. Actually, I'm not very familiar with the Guo family either."

Sun Hao immediately turned hostile.

Upon hearing Sun Hao's words, Fairy Fire Phoenix and the others sneered inwardly. He had betrayed his longtime cronies so quickly; he was clearly no good, and his skin was truly thick.

But the Fire Phoenix Fairy didn't say much. Now she was just Lu Xuan's little follower, and all she had to do was follow him, unless Lu Xuan wanted to ask for their opinions.

The treatment they received at the Sun family's residence was indeed extraordinary.

They were even treated to delicious food and drinks.

Lu Xuan was also very satisfied.

Finally, we don't have to fight and kill all day long. Isn't it great that we can sit down, chat peacefully, and pay our money?

It won't be so miserable, with a fight every time you arrive at a new place.

Kill a bunch of people.

They act as if they're some kind of jinx.

Lu Xuan showed no courtesy whatsoever to the Sun family's hospitality, and ate as much as he wanted, even the fine wine and delicacies on the table.

As for poisoning, there's no need to worry about that with the Spirit Ash Holy Flame.

Moreover, Lu Xuan is a fourth-grade alchemist, and his alchemy skills have improved considerably recently. If he were to use poison, the entire Sun family combined would probably be no match for him. So there's no need to worry about these things; just eat as much as you want.

After eating something simple and chatting for a bit,

Sun Hao then had a brocade box brought up.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, please check... Fifteen million taels are all in this box."

"Oh? Fifteen million?"

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Sun Hao's words.

The IOU that Sun Hao owed back then was only for ten million taels of silver, but now he has actually taken out fifteen million taels.

This clearly shows that they have shown a great deal of sincerity.

Lu Xuan had no reason to refuse.

She immediately gestured, and the Fire Phoenix Fairy stepped forward, counting and accepting all the money in the box.

He nodded slightly to Lu Xuan to indicate that the number was correct.

Seeing this, Sun Hao breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the wine pot on the table to pour Lu Xuan a cup of wine.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, let me toast you."

They've shown such sincerity, just to have a drink with him, how could Lu Xuan not appreciate it?

At this point, there's no need to act like a big shot.

Lu Xuan raised his cup and clinked it with his.

After drinking alcohol.

Sun Hao then slowly spat out his fangs.

He glanced at Lu Xuan and chuckled.

"Mr. Lu, to be honest, our Sun family also has the qualifications and ability to mine mineral veins."

"You entrusted the Xinhuo Stone Mine over there to the Chu family. I've seen their capabilities; they're extremely slow. If this continues, they might even lose money."

"How about this? Regardless of how much of a share the Chu family gets from you, we'll take 10% less!"

"As long as you hand over the Xinhuo Stone Mine to us for mining... Moreover, this kind of ore can only fetch a good price if it is sold in the county town."

"Our Sun family has some connections in the county town, and we've never had any problems selling ore. Our prices will definitely be better than what the Chu family offers!"

"What do you think?"

Sun Hao spoke up.

Lu Xuan then realized that the reason this guy gave him an extra five million taels was because he wanted to take over the mining business that he had handed over to the Chu family.

I have to say, this old guy is pretty good at seizing opportunities.

Unfortunately, while he had the ability to seize opportunities, he was too greedy and too impatient.

He didn't even bother to inquire about the relationship between Lu Xuan and the Chu family.

As things stand, as long as the Chu family doesn't betray Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan will treat them as his brother's family.

Perhaps the Chu family's thoughts will change in the future.

But that's all in the future; he can give it to the Chu family, and he can take it back at any time.

It all depends on how long the Chu family can keep these things.

Under the current circumstances, it is naturally impossible for your Sun family to intercept the deal.

Besides, you only have five million taels of silver, and you think you can get the job of a mining vein?

This money is far too easy to earn.

"Hehe, when I'm looking for partners, strength is secondary; what's truly important is character."

"Your character is questionable; we cannot cooperate with you."

Lu Xuan said it very bluntly.

They didn't even bother to take a detour.

These words were spoken.

Some of the Sun family executives who had been accompanying them to dinner and drinks had faces that looked as if they had been choked with snot.

For a moment, I didn't even know whether I should drink the wine or not.

Although the Sun family is not considered a top-tier family in the county town.

But they are all top-tier in some respects.

The businesses they run are all quite large.

If word gets out, those are all prominent figures.

Now, however, Lu Xuan has told them to their faces that the Sun family has no character.

And none of the people in front of them could refute it.

Who dares to say no?

Moreover, Lu Xuan's words were not even slightly tactful, showing no regard for the Sun family's reputation.

This is the status that comes with strength.

Sun Hao never expected that Lu Xuan would be so disrespectful after accepting the money.

That five million taels is essentially a complete waste, and he can't possibly ask for the money back.

"By the way, about that Lord Yang that the Guo family mentioned before."

"Before the Guo family member died, he said that your Sun family was also involved in the contact. Tell me, what happened?"

Lu Xuan suddenly said this.

Sun Hao was still immersed in the grief of losing five million taels of silver.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, she felt as if she had stopped breathing.

These beasts from the Guo family, even on their deathbeds they still dragged them down, they're truly despicable!
