"Dad, we're back!"
Lin Dong was hesitating when Lin Mei's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"You're back!"
Seeing his daughter, Lin Dong displayed the warm affection of a father.
"This is the life-saver I told you about," Lin Mei said, nudging Lu Feng gently from behind.
Lin Dong held his breath, looking at the young man standing beside Lin Mei.
The moment his gaze met Lu Feng's.
His tightly furrowed brow instantly relaxed.
The young man before him was dashing and elegant.
Dressed head to toe in designer brands.
Dike Lai.
This was a niche Italian brand.
To recognize this brand indicated a certain level of discernment.
Without family wealth, where would such discernment come from?
Lin Dong's face immediately lit up, as if illuminated by the spring sun in March.
With this, his anxiety subsided.
"Come, serve tea, serve tea!"
Lin Dong's tone instantly became more polite.
"You are Lu Feng?"
"Yes!"
Lin Dong was as delighted as if he had seen a long-lost brother.
This young man before him, not only had some connection with the wealthy businessman Dong Ye, but also had family background.
Wasn't this precisely the person he had been dreaming of finding?
"My daughter has always been mischievous. I thank you, as her father, for saving her this time."
As Lin Dong spoke, he immediately stood up, appearing ready to kneel in gratitude.
Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly stopped him.
"Uncle, there's no need for that."
The man before him had a humble demeanor.
He was not much younger than Lu Feng's master.
Lu Feng had cultivated on the mountain.
He understood basic etiquette.
If he were to kneel, wouldn't that be showing him too much respect?
"Look at this child, truly sensible."
Lin Dong liked him more and more the longer he looked.
"By the way, Lu Feng, where are your family members?"
Just as Lu Feng was about to speak.
Lin Mei, standing nearby, immediately interrupted, "Dad, he's just visiting our home for the first time, and you're bombarding him with questions like you're checking his household registration. You're scaring him!"
Hearing this, Lin Dong turned to look at Lu Feng and gave an embarrassed smile. "Look at me. Alright, alright. Wait a moment, the Lin family is going to have a family meeting. How about this, you can join Lin Mei?"
Since he would eventually be a member of the Lin family.
With the basic conditions appearing satisfactory, Lin Dong wanted to take the opportunity to test Lu Feng's business acumen and vision.
"Dad, isn't this inappropriate? Lu Feng is, after all, my savior. It's our family's honor to have him here. You're immediately making him attend a meeting, what kind of treatment is this!"
Lin Dong chuckled upon hearing this.
His voice was low, "What do you know!"
He then glanced at Lu Feng, who was not far away. "Mr. Lu, do you have any objections? After the meeting, I will definitely thank you properly."
What objections could Lu Feng have?
Since Lin Mei had brought him here, and said she would treat him to a meal later, Lu Feng was quite hungry.
Lu Feng had only seen family meetings of wealthy families on television.
Now that it was mentioned, he was curious to witness the grandeur. More importantly, the other party had extended a warm invitation.
As a guest, refusing at this moment would be inappropriate. It was fortunate that Lin Dong was so polite.
Just as he was about to nod.
"Elder Master Lin, everyone has arrived and is waiting for you on the second floor!"
The butler pushed open the door and entered from outside, standing respectfully inside the doorway.
"Good, Lin Mei, take Lu Feng up first! I'll be down shortly!"
"Let's go!"
Lin Mei still linked her arm through Lu Feng's.
On the second floor of the villa, in a conference hall as large as an auditorium.
Lin Mei's two elder brothers, along with their wives, had been waiting in their seats for a long time.
Seeing Lin Mei, her eldest brother, Lin Feng, said, "Sister, you're here. I haven't seen you in a long time. Brother misses you."
As he spoke, he noticed a stranger standing beside Lin Mei.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.
He scanned Lu Feng up and down.
The person before him was handsome and talented.
His brows were filled with a hint of confidence and certainty.
The ice-like astonishment on Lin Feng's face gradually dissipated.
It seemed his sister had found her beloved.
This person had a good temperament.
As the eldest brother, Lin Feng had no further concerns.
"Your taste is quite good, little girl!"
Lin Mei instantly became even more proud upon hearing this.
"Brother, of course my taste is good. This is my savior!"
"Oh?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
Lin Mei, in her usual straightforward manner, recounted the events of that day in detail.
However, before she could finish.
The man and woman sitting on the other side looked confused at first. Finally, the woman beside Lin Hai suddenly sprang up from her soft chair as if electrocuted.
"It's you!"
The woman's eyes were about to pop out of her sockets.
If she hadn't looked closely several times, she wouldn't have been able to confirm it.
The young man before her was the shabby young man she had encountered in the store just an hour ago.
Upon seeing this person, Lu Feng was also startled.
This was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!
However, noticing Lu Feng, the woman felt a surge of joy in addition to her surprise.
Women, by nature, were creatures of extreme jealousy and competitiveness.
Ever since Lu Feng had played a trick on her in the store.
A ball of unadulterated anger had been accumulating in her heart.
She had thought she would never see this小子 again.
And that this anger would thus lose its outlet.
Unexpectedly, enemies met on a narrow road, and in the end, she had encountered him again. Thinking of this, the woman's lips curved slightly upwards.
She would have to treat this小子 well.
As a result, the woman's voice turned cold, her words laced with sarcasm, "Oh, Lin Mei, I didn't expect your taste to be so unique. You even dare to bring such a common小子 home. Don't you know? Dad, he cares most about background. Lin Mei, don't be fooled by this小子's appearance."
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Mei's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.
"I... I don't mean anything. I'm just kindly reminding you. You're a young lady, and if you misjudge, you'll be the one to suffer!"
The woman said with feigned nonchalance.
Her words were calm, but their impact was not small.
Lin Mei had always had a poor impression of the woman before her, who was her second sister-in-law.
This person, besides her sharp and sarcastic tongue, was also extremely snobbish.
Since she had married into the family, Lin Mei had never spoken cordially with her for more than half an hour.
Seeing that on this occasion.
Her sister-in-law, an outsider, was also going to interfere.
Lin Mei could no longer hold back.
Just as Lin Mei was about to speak.
Lin Feng, noticing his sister's movement, couldn't help but show a hint of anger and spoke preemptively.
"Lin Hai, what's going on with your wife?"
As the eldest brother, Lin Feng was quite protective of his younger sister in the Lin family.
Although these words were not explicitly stated, even an outsider could hear the strong undertone of hostility.
Being spoken about his wife.
Lin Hai was naturally displeased.
Just as he was about to speak.
At this moment.
Knock, knock.
A series of footsteps interrupted everyone's actions.
Following the sound, they looked.
Lin Dong, accompanied by the butler, appeared in the main seat of the hall.
As the current head of the Lin family.
Both Lin Hai and Lin Feng had to be respectful when they were in front of Lin Dong.
This was a rule of the Lin family for several generations.
Seeing this, the two immediately fell silent.
