Chapter 99: Meeting the Parents!
He got dressed, slightly tidied up his hair, and Lin Tian headed towards the garage, driving out of the villa in his newly purchased Phantom K5!
Soon, Lin Tian arrived near the school and parked his car in Xiao Bai's garage with a dedicated guard. He then headed towards the campus!
"Hello, Yau-er, is Father-in-law coming?" On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yao's face turned red with shame: "What Father-in-law? It's not like that, Xiao Linzi. There's something I need to tell you... my mother was just a concubine of my father's, and she passed away many years ago. All along, I've been treated as a pawn for marriage with another family, so..."
"So, your father will weigh my worth and see if I'm qualified to win your heart?" Lin Tian said calmly. "Little Lin, are you angry? No matter what my father is like, in any case, my heart remains unchanged." Zhou Yao hurriedly said. "Yao, no, it's very common for large families to do this, so there's nothing to be angry or not angry about, hmm, your heart is unchanged, but what kind of heart is that?" Lin Tian chuckled. "Little Lin, you're so bad!" Zhou Yao angrily said, "You must behave today, my father will probably arrive at 10 o'clock!"
"Leaders have orders, how dare I not follow? Today I'm all dressed up and made a good impression before going out!" Lin Tian chuckled.
At ten o'clock, in a teahouse outside Haitian University, Lin Tian and Zhou Yao's father, Zhou Hong, sat opposite each other. For two days, neither of them had spoken a word, quietly sipping their tea, the atmosphere was somewhat dull for a while.
Zhou Yao's father, Zhou Hong, was a robust middle-aged man. Years of martial arts training had made his eyes extremely sharp. If he were an ordinary person, being stared at for so long would have made him flee in disarray. However, trying to defeat Lin Tian with just his eyes seemed like a rather difficult task!
"Uncle Zhou, Yaoyao rarely mentions you or her family!" Lin Tian said calmly. "Even when she does mention it occasionally, she looks hurt. I think that as a father, this is unacceptable!" Zhou Hong's eyebrows rose, and his whole demeanor changed. He had come to test Lin Tian's abilities, but unexpectedly, he was being criticized instead! "Uncle Zhou, if the great Zhou family has to rely on a little girl to maintain its honor, then it's really too pitiful!"
Born into a noble family, one must have the awareness of sacrifice. Moreover, I don't think it's wrong to find someone who is on an equal footing with you, but letting a young master from a large family marry a poor and humble person is not the right choice. Of course, this isn't referring to you. According to my investigation, your identity is not simple. With extraordinary martial arts skills, you became a super VIP at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, and recently bought a villa worth tens of millions, which was given to Yeo as a gift, along with a pair of blue diamond earrings worth over $20 million.
Zhou Hong said expressionlessly, "Because of these things, I didn't stop you from starting a relationship. I wanted to see what else you had behind your back. But the results of my investigation surprised me even more - you were just an ordinary person from childhood to adulthood. In other words, it's possible that you recently obtained some great opportunity? However, this also made me wonder, if it was just about money, then there is a possibility of overnight wealth. But where did your martial arts skills come from?! Martial arts cultivation can't be rapidly improved in a short period of time like wealth, and even if someone taught you, it's impossible to use it as skillfully as you do!"
As Zhou Hong spoke, his claw flashed towards Lin Tian's shoulder, but Lin Tian didn't expect Zhou Hong to suddenly attack without warning. However, with his rich combat experience and increased vigilance after arriving here, he remained calm and swiftly moved himself and the chair one foot to avoid Zhou Hong's attack.
"Uncle Zhou, with your late-stage Earth-level cultivation, it's too unfair to deal with me, a young Earth-level beginner!"
Zhou Hong picked up the teacup with his fingertips, as if it wasn't him who had just made the move. "Being able to see through my cultivation, this kind of eyesight isn't something a martial arts novice can possess. Your reaction is also like that, it's clear that you've been through many battles, but in my investigation, your experience in fighting with others is almost non-existent! Lin Tian, can you tell me why?" Zhou Hong said after taking a sip of tea.
"Impossible!" Lin Tian said resolutely, jokingly. The secret of the Star Ring told him that if he didn't have to mix with them, the secret of the Star Ring, even Zhou Yao didn't know now. Yang Shi and Yang Xue, two women, Lin Tian didn't hide from them because they themselves also belonged to the Star Ring!
Zhou Hong glared at Lin Tian: "At least you have to tell me your identity, I can't let my girl follow someone who is unclear!" Lin Tian fell into thought, and just as Zhou Hong was about to explode, he said in a low voice: "I can tell you one of my identities!" Lin Tian said, taking out the special consultant ID card from his pocket and tossing it over! Special Consultant of the Dragon Group, this identity Zhou Hong knew, but the owner of the Star Ring, that was absolutely not to be said!
Zhou Hong took the document and saw that the cover was slightly stunned. He had seen this kind of cover many times before, but when he opened it and saw the words "Long Group Special Advisor", his eyes widened instantly. The Long Group is China's most powerful official organization, far stronger than the Zhou family. Being a special advisor to the Long Group is no small matter! Although the Zhou family also had children who entered the Long Group, the best one was only a small team leader in the Xuan Group. The Chinese Dragon Group is divided into four groups: Tian, Di, Huang, and Xuan, with the Tian Group being the strongest, followed by the Di Group, and the Huang Group being the weakest. A small team leader in the Xuan Group is far inferior to a special advisor to the Long Group! Zhou Hong's face showed a hint of respect, for a special advisor to the Long Group was already worthy of his equal treatment!
Zhou Hong returned the documents to Lin Tian: "No wonder you could move Yue Zhentian and easily get a good plot of land for San Yun Orphanage. Lin Tian, since you can show me this identity, it means that your hidden identity is even more shocking than this one. Alright, from now on, I won't interfere with your and Yao'er's matters anymore. I hope that when the Zhou family is in trouble in the future, you can lend a hand to help!"
"That's natural, Uncle Zhou. In the future, you'll find that today's decision may be the most correct decision of your life!" Lin Tian stood up, "Uncle Zhou, if there's nothing else, please excuse me for leaving first." Zhou Hong nodded lightly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward, and I'm at ease with Yaoyao following you. Making a sacrifice for one's own daughter's happiness isn't something to be happy about, and I'm glad I don't have to do that!"
Out of the teahouse, Lin Tianlong let out a breath. Zhou Hongjiao was in a superior position, and the aura of a martial artist mixed with that of a superior being was not easy to resist! "If I were just an ordinary person, today would be a different scene!" Lin Tian muttered to himself, his desire for strength growing even stronger. Only by possessing great power could one's own destiny be controlled!
Back in school, Lin Tian quickly dialed Zhou Yao's phone. "Little Lin, my father didn't give you a hard time, did he?!" Zhou Yao asked anxiously. "How could that be? Your husband is me, Tian, the genius, and your father can't wait to marry you off to me right away!" Lin Tian chuckled.
"Shut up! Where are you? I'll be right there!"
"Wait for you at the wooden chair by the Autumn Water Lake!" Lin Tian said. The Autumn Water Lake was a famous dating spot, very suitable for hugging and kissing. Lin Tian chose that place, obviously not with pure intentions. However, Zhou Ya immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll be right there!" As she had already become Lin Tian's girlfriend, if her father also approved of their relationship, then being together would be a done deal. So even if Lin Tian wanted to take advantage of her, she would only blush and agree!
Lin Tian arrived at the Autumn Water Lake and sat down on a wooden chair, which was designed for two people to sit together, perfect for a romantic tryst. Before long, Zhou Yao came over, her eyes lighting up when she saw Lin Tian, and walked over to sit down beside him. "Little Lin, my father just called me!"
"Oh? What did Father-in-law say?" Lin Tian hugged Zhou Yao's small waist, looking at her blushing face.
"He only said one sentence, Lin Tian is a good kid, cherish him well." Zhou Yao said, "Little Lin, have you shown your father that certificate?" Lin Tian nodded slightly: "If I don't show it to him, he'll probably throw me out the window directly. Your husband's bones can't withstand your father's masterful beating!"
"It won't happen, my father can come, it means he already values you quite a bit, if he didn't think highly of you, he wouldn't waste one minute coming over." Zhou Yao said. Lin Tian chuckled and said: "Don't mind those things, little girl, come on, give big brother a kiss first!" As Lin Tian spoke, his large mouth pressed against Zhou Yao's cherry lips, after a few teasing pecks, he successfully inserted his tongue into her small mouth to savor her sweet saliva. His empty right hand, at this moment also not being honest, reached out through the clothes and touched Zhou Yao's full *area!
Just as Lin Tian was about to go further, with his right hand and Zhou Yao's chest skin having more intimate contact, a voice rang out: "Ah, I said why Sister Yao was in such a hurry to leave, it turns out she came here for a secret tryst, haha!" Lin Tian let go of Zhou Yao, his heart wanting to throw this suddenly vocal Nan Gong Yuanyi into the Autumn Water Lake!
"Nangong Wanyi, don't you know that disturbing others' intimacy is impolite behavior?!" Lin Tian said with a stuffy tone. "The campus is a civilized place, what kind of image are we presenting by being affectionate like this?!" Nangong Wanyi coquettishly retorted. Lin Tian chuckled and looked Nangong Wanyi up and down, making her feel uneasy: "I say Nangong Wanyi, you wouldn't be jealous, would you? If so, my dorm still has three bachelors, you can choose one at will?"
"Go to hell!" Nangong Wanyi kicked a stone with her foot, and it flew quickly towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian lightly flicked his finger and deflected the stone: "You want to murder me? Be careful or else your sister will put a hairy caterpillar on your bed tonight!" Nangong Wanyi laughed: "I've always been the one who gets played with, Lin Tian you should be careful!"
"Alright, stop making a fuss! Yuanyu, what's going on? Why did you look for me?"
"A student from another school came to our Haitian University forum and provoked us, saying that he wanted to defeat all of our students on the computer. He was extremely arrogant and has been fighting for over two hours now. Many of our university's top players have already been easily defeated by him!" said Nangong Yuanye. "What kind of competition is this? It's been over two hours, how come I haven't heard any news about it?" asked Zhou Yao.
"Hacker attack and defense, whoever breaks through the opponent's defense wins! At that time, Yāo Jiě, you didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things!" Nángōng Wǎn ér said, "Lín Tiān, I'm borrowing Yāo Jiě for now. This is for the honor of Hǎi Tiān University. With Yāo Jiě's level, it's estimated that we can take down the opponent!"
Zhou Yao shook her head and said, "Since the other party dared to boast, if it's not just bragging, then their strength is really very strong. Since they have already defeated many of our school's top experts, it means they are well-prepared, and I may not be a match for them either."
"Yao'er, since that's the case, then you should go back to your dorm with Nangong Wanyu first. I don't want to be a sinner of Haitian University!" Lin Tian laughed and said.
Zhou Yao nodded and left with Nangong Yu'er, while Lin Tian quickly returned to his own bedroom. As soon as he entered the room, Wei Feng and Xiao Bai were staring at the computer. "Xiao Bai, you're back! How was the blind date?" Lin Tian asked with a chuckle. Xiao Bai turned around, looking bitter, and said: "Don't even mention it. I'm not someone who judges people by their appearance, but my date's looks made me want to vomit up everything I ate yesterday!"
"Hmm, it seems that you, Xiao Bai, have indeed suffered a great injustice. Otherwise, someone as stingy with words as you wouldn't have blurted out such a long sentence all at once!" Lin Tian said.
"Third Brother, congratulations, congratulations! I was only away for a short few days and you've already won over Zhou Yao!" Xiao Bai said.
"Lost again! We've already lost twenty people to them!" Wei Feng suddenly cursed loudly, "Damn it, our Hai Tian University has such a large college, and there isn't even a formidable hidden expert?!"
Lin Tian walked over to take a look, and a post was hanging high: I've long heard that Haitian University has produced many top-notch people, so I came here to learn from them. In my opinion, there isn't a single person at Haitian University who can be my match on the computer! Such arrogance, naturally, there were countless responses below, some scolding, some challenging. The other party directly gave out their IP address, but, on Haitian University's side, not a single person emerged victorious in the challenge, only allowing the other party to continuously accumulate victories! The other party was also extremely skilled, after breaking into the computer of someone from Haitian University, they directly exposed that person's identity, leaving those who failed on Haitian University's side seething with anger. However, there's nothing they can do about it, as their skills are inferior.
