Let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing Elder Lu's words, Qiu Tu wrapped his arms around the slender waist of the girl in front of him, then looked up.

Elder Lu's expression was a bit playful, as if the answer Qiu Tu was about to give was very important.

Qiu Tu's mind raced, and after a moment, he said with a smile, "Fiancée? Elder Lu must be joking."

"She's just my cohabiting roommate." Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

At Qiu Tu's words, The Five Elders couldn't help but burst into laughter with a "haha."

Among them, Elder Xie, the weakest, teased laughingly, "What a roommate, Minister Qiu really is a cunning one."

Everyone knew that Qiu Tu's words were said in jest, but it was enough because they knew Qiu Tu had guessed their intentions and had given a "positive response."

No matter how ridiculous or nonsensical the response was, it still clearly indicated Qiu Tu's stance.

All six of them were old foxes; some things didn't need to be stated too explicitly.

Thinking this, Elder Lu gave Elder Fang a look. Elder Fang nodded knowingly.

Then he said to Qiu Tu, who was still immersed in the softness of the girl before him, "Minister Qiu, for a man, the most important thing is to establish a family and career."

"Now that you've built your career, it's time to find a good match and start a family."

"Us old guys happen to have a few granddaughters around your age, you see... maybe you'd like to meet them?"

While Elder Fang was talking, Qiu Tu's head was still buried in the facial cleanser of the girl in his arms.

He seemed to be enjoying himself, smelling and clinging, but his mind couldn't help but be clear.

The sudden switch of The Five Elders to discussing his marriage was obviously not genuine concern, but rather a negotiation of terms.

That is to say, the condition for Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei to get The Five Elders' help was — an arranged marriage.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu found it somewhat amusing.

Indeed, no matter the world, power was like AIDS, only transmittable through blood, from mother to child, and sexually.

Only by marrying their daughters, becoming family, would they truly help him wholeheartedly.

Put plainly... they weren't satisfied with being used as chess pieces, they wanted to be the players, placing heavy bets on him.

The only regrettable thing... was the woman who would be sacrificed.

This could be seen from the fact that he was still holding this scantily clad girl with a generous chest, discussing such a major issue as marriage — In the eyes of The Five Elders, their granddaughters were merely tools.

If even their own family did not care, why should he?

With that in mind, Qiu Tu also raised his head, and smiling, he agreed, "Elder Fang, don't say... I've actually been really thinking about settling down recently."

"So, meeting up with a few ladies of good fortune to see if there's a connection indeed wouldn't be bad."

Hearing Qiu Tu's response, The Five Elders exchanged glances. Then Elder Fang gave a signal to Elder Xie.

Elder Xie promptly said with a laugh, "That's great. "

"Our granddaughters are just having a gathering next door; I'll ask them to come over."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu had a guess in mind: It seems... The Five Elders had everything planned out for this evening, otherwise, such a coincidence wouldn't happen.

And as he was thinking this, Elder Xie gestured towards someone behind him.

Following his summons, a man in a suit promptly approached, respectfully handing him a communicator.

Elder Xie picked up the communicator, made a call, and then chatted for a few sentences.

Moments later, he hung up with a smile and said, "Jingjing and the others will be right over."

Hearing Elder Xie's words, Elder Lu also clapped his hands solemnly and shook his head.

Seeing his gesture, a dozen or so girls quickly climbed off the six men, bowed respectfully, and then left in a line.

Clearly, although The Five Elders did not care about their granddaughters, they knew better than to behave in such a manner in front of them.

The facial treatment over, Qiu Tu was somewhat reluctant to let go.

He leaned back on the sofa, then looked at Elder Xie, curiously asking, "Elder Xie, may I know how many ladies of good fortune I'll be meeting later?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Elder Xie said with a chuckle, "Five. One from each family."

Qiu Tu nodded, then curiously asked, "How many can I choose?"

Elder Xie:...

The other four Elders:...

At this moment, Elder Lu hurriedly chimed in with a smile, "Minister Qiu, you must be joking. A wife, of course, there can be only one."

At those words, Qiu Tu nodded, somewhat disappointed...

He had thought that The Five Elders, in order to tie him down, were ready to present all of their wealthy and renowned granddaughters to him in one go.

But to only offer one?

Weren't they afraid the sole woman who won his favor would be unreliable?

And as Qiu Tu thought this, before long, five beauties walked in from outside.

They varied in age, the youngest only eighteen or nineteen, the oldest looking about twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Coming from wealthy families, with plenty of time and money for self-care and grooming, and the genetic enhancement from their mothers' beauty, they were all attractive, with delicate skin, and fashionable.

Their parents had clearly briefed them earlier, and they knew what they were facing tonight.

Therefore, upon entering, they first coyly glanced at Qiu Tu, then bowed slightly to The Five Elders, sweetly calling out, "Grandpa~~"

Seeing them, The Five Elders' expressions hardly changed.

This was understandable; having once controlled Xinjie City, they had no shortage of women in their lives, having changed who knows how many. Thus, they had numerous offspring.

And those many children had given birth to who knows how many grandsons and granddaughters.
