Chapter 345: Not Someone You Can Meet So Easily

Shen Nian had already learned from Lu Cheng that the Chu Family’s status was nothing to scoff at. But as she gazed at the exclusive villa district before them, located in the most prime area of the capital, she knew that any family who could afford a home here was bound to be extraordinary.

One could even say that a single stomp of the foot from the patriarch of any one of these prominent families could probably send shockwaves through the city.

In her past life, someone of her status would never have been able to enter a place like this.

She never thought that, having been reborn, the trajectory of her fate would change so drastically. She was even getting so many more opportunities to broaden her horizons.

Turning to look at Lu Cheng, Shen Nian saw that his expression hadn’t changed much. She figured he probably wasn’t a first-time visitor to such a place.

Considering Lu Cheng’s relationship with Chu Yunze and the Chu Family, he had likely been here more than once.

"Don’t worry. I’m here."

Lu Cheng felt Shen Nian’s gaze. Assuming she was intimidated by the grandeur of the place, he immediately squeezed her hand and spoke in a comforting tone.

Shen Nian smiled at Lu Cheng. "I’m fine."

She was surprised, certainly, but calling it "scared" would be an exaggeration.

Of course, her past self might have truly been scared coming to a place like this. But having already faced life and death, this was hardly anything frightening to Shen Nian.

Besides, the Chu Family they were visiting had deep ties to Lu Cheng; it wasn’t as if they were walking into hostile territory. Shen Nian naturally had even less reason to be concerned.

Shen Nian’s composure made Chu Yunze’s opinion of her rise even higher. If he didn’t know she was the wife Lu Cheng had married from the countryside, he would have suspected she was the young lady of some prominent family!

"Don’t worry. With Lu Cheng around, no one will bully you! Besides, my family is all really nice, so you don’t need to worry. At most, my grandpa might look a little fierce, but it’s just how he looks. I guarantee he doesn’t mean any harm."

The person his family feared most was none other than the Old Master of the Chu Family, his grandfather, Chu Zhengwei. Chu Yunze was worried Shen Nian would be frightened by the old man, so he was giving her a warning in advance.

"Okay."

Families with a status comparable to the Chu Family could make the world tremble with a single stomp of their foot.

It was said that if not for the Old Master, the Chu Family would have long since fallen into decline after losing their heir, Chu Yunze. But even now, the family still stood strong.

Men like the Chu Family’s Old Master had lived through the chaos of war. It was only natural for them to carry a hardened, deadly aura, so it was normal for him to seem fierce.

Hearing Chu Yunze’s description, Shen Nian actually grew somewhat interested in the Chu Family’s Old Master.

’He wasn’t the kind of person you could meet just any day!’

The guards at the compound gate were strict, but with Chu Yunze present, they drove in smoothly.

The car drove on for a while longer before stopping in front of a villa. Shen Nian knew this must be the Chu Family’s residence.

"We’re here."

"Mm."

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng and nodded, then got out of the car with him.
