Chapter 1

Kunlun Mountain, Wolong Peak.

Misty clouds swirl, the atmosphere tranquil and serene, with streams and waterfalls cascading, and cranes flying and calling.

In the mountain temple.

Qin Chuan, carrying a bundle, knelt before an old Taoist priest, weeping bitterly, deeply touching.

"Master, please let me stay by your side and serve you to show my filial piety! I can't bear to leave you!"

"Get out, brat! Don't think I don't know that you can't bear to leave the little nun from the neighboring nunnery! You sneak over the wall every night, and the old nun comes to me every day to settle accounts, draining my savings!"

Qin Chuan inwardly cursed, it was clearly because you shamelessly dug a hole in the wall where the old nun often bathed, and got caught, that you had to pay it all back...

The old Taoist priest glared at him fiercely, then threw a marriage contract and said, "Now there's nothing more I can teach you. Your worldly affairs are not yet settled, go down the mountain and let me have some peace!"

"Marriage contract?"

"This is what your mother left behind years ago."

"..."

Hearing the word "mother," Qin Chuan's expression turned solemn.

He was an orphan, his mother died in an accident, and he was later picked up by the old Taoist and raised on the mountain.

As he grew older, he increasingly felt something was amiss when he recalled scenes from his mother's life.

Now, it was time to investigate.

"By the way, after you go down the mountain, check on your senior sisters."

The old Taoist priest added.

Mentioning his senior sisters, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

The old Taoist priest had not only picked him up, but also nine senior sisters, some a year or two older, some five or six years older, and even some younger, but because they were picked up first, they were called senior sisters.

Back then, the nine senior sisters doted on him a lot, and during pretend play, they all vied to marry him.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. One day ten years ago, the old Taoist priest, for some unknown reason, drove them all down the mountain, and no amount of crying or pleading could change his mind.

Although they all scattered, they still kept in touch during holidays.

The eldest senior sister, Murong Bingyu, now runs a company and is worth over a billion.

The second senior sister, Jiang Yunting, became a famous doctor and has saved many patients.

The third senior sister, Ouyang Na, became a popular film, television, and music star.

The fourth senior sister became a culinary master.

The fifth and sixth senior sisters, and so on, are all successful people...

It's been years since they last met, and he misses them a lot.

...

After descending the mountain.

Qin Chuan, following the address on the marriage contract, arrived in Jiangcheng.

Remembering that his eldest senior sister, Murong Bingyu, runs a company in Jiangcheng, he called her to meet in the evening.

On the other end of the phone, Murong Bingyu was instantly excited, "In the evening?? What evening! It's been so many years, tell me where you are, and I'll come pick you up right away!"

"Uh, I have something very important to do, I need to visit the Li family."

"The Li family?"

"That old man gave me a marriage contract..."

"What?!!!"

Before Qin Chuan could finish, the other end of the phone seemed to explode with jealousy, "You're... proposing?!!!"

"I..."

Qin Chuan scratched his ear, which was tingling from the shock, and was about to explain when his Nokia brick phone ran out of battery and shut down.

"Ah, that stingy old Taoist, he made me treat all those rich and powerful people who came up the mountain for medical treatment, earning no less than a few million, but he wouldn't even buy me a new phone, what a miser..."

He wasn't going to propose.

The old Taoist priest said the marriage contract was left by his mother, and he wanted to learn more about his mother.

...

Li Family Villa.

In the living room, the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

Qin Chuan sat in front of the tea table, sipping tea slowly.

The family head, Li Guosheng, examined the marriage contract, his expression uncertain.

His daughter, Li Xueli, wearing a fashionable skirt, large earrings, and pink lip gloss, looked at Qin Chuan with disdain.

Especially at his washed-out clothes, which she found extremely repulsive.

She planned to throw away all the tea cups and utensils he used as soon as he left, as anything touched by such a poor person was too dirty!

"Father, I absolutely refuse to marry him. Look at his poor and shabby appearance. If my friends find out, they'll laugh at me to death!"

"..."

Li Guosheng put down the marriage contract, rubbed his temples, and looked very troubled.

Clearly, he also thought Qin Chuan was not a match for the Li family.

Qin Chuan saw all this but didn't care.

To ordinary people, Li Xueli might be considered beautiful, but she couldn't even compare to the toes of his nine senior sisters.

He should finish his business and leave as soon as possible!

"Uncle Li."

Qin Chuan put down his teacup and said, "Actually, I came this time to learn more about my mother's past."

Unexpectedly,

Li Xueli sneered and said, "What, trying to use your mother to threaten us? Everyone knows your mother was a mistress, and the news has spread far and wide. You still dare to use her to pressure us, aren't you ashamed?"

"What did you say?!"

Qin Chuan's face turned dark.

"Don't you know what you're talking about?"

Li Xueli chewed gum, leaned back on the sofa, and swung her leg, continuing to mock him.

"Everyone knows that your mother wanted to marry into a wealthy family and shamelessly became someone's mistress. She was kicked out of the Qin family in the capital like a stray dog. If we had known your mother was such a shameless woman, my father would never have signed the marriage contract!"

"..."

Qin Chuan's face grew colder and colder.

The old Taoist priest had told him that his mother was kind and had helped many people out of difficult situations, including the Li family in Jiangcheng.

Back then, the Li family had just started their business and lost everything, but his mother helped them, and the Li family achieved their current status. The Li couple, seeing his mother's noble status, flattered her and gained her trust, leading to the arranged marriage.

He never expected them to not only forget their gratitude but also defame her so much!

"Haha, exposed, aren't you ashamed?" Li Xueli laughed triumphantly, "If I had a mother like yours who was a mistress, I would have killed myself out of shame. Speaking of which, you're also a 'bastard,' haha..."

"Slap!!"

A loud slap echoed through the room!

Li Xueli was stunned by the sudden slap, her face burning hot, and she opened her eyes wide, "You, you actually dared to hit me?!!!"

"This slap is for your unbridled tongue and ingratitude!"

Qin Chuan's eyes were cold as he stared at her.

"Your mother was a mistress, a shameless woman! You can't even let us speak?"

Li Xueli shouted loudly.

"Slap!!"

Qin Chuan slapped her again, "You don't know how to repent, you deserve it!"

Li Xueli was knocked to the ground, her face swollen, her head buzzing. She turned to Li Guosheng and cried, "Father, he, he dared to hit me, call someone to beat him to death!!"
