Chapter 1408: Righteous and Assertive

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Righteous and Assertive

Lin Tian had just broken through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, feeling physically and mentally pleasant, as if even the air carried a sweet taste.

He took the Thousand Jin Rock and headed downstairs, coincidentally seeing Liou Qingcheng with Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan, all three wearing yoga clothes that exposed their navels while they were doing yoga.

Liou Qingcheng had been practicing dance since she was a child, and every muscle in her body was very well-proportioned. Her two toned legs were slender yet powerful. Most enchanting was that, apart from her full chest, her upper body had not a trace of excess fat, with even some small abdominal muscles and a graceful line.

Mei Ruyan’s yoga outfit equally highlighted her graceful figure, possibly transformed from a girl into a woman, her natural allure subtly exuded charm, with a simple move, making Lin Tian’s desire surge.

Then there was Bai Shishi, who, ever since the last one-shot soul entry and having a child, could no longer perform the rituals of intimacy, looking like a flower waiting for nourishment, gazing at Lin Tian with increasing impatience.

Just as he was about to move forward to pluck, the nanny came and said, "There’s a gentleman outside with the surname Huang, says he wants to have a word with Mr. Lin. He also brought quite a few gifts."

Lin Tian looked at the nanny and asked, "Is he around forty or fifty, with thinning hair, and looks quite proper?"

The nanny nodded, "Yes."

Lin Tian snorted coldly, feeling anger rise within him. He said icily, "Tell him to get lost!"

Lin Tian’s mood was not good, obviously, and even the nanny was startled, agreeing in a whisper to go and respond to the guest.

Bai Shishi hastily shouted, "Ms. Zhao, let him in."

Mei Ruyan also stopped her yoga, discontentedly saying, "The weasel giving New Year’s greetings to the chicken must have no good intentions, it bothers me just to see them, why let him in?"

Nanny Zhao was momentarily put in a tough spot, wondering whose orders to follow.

Bai Shishi chuckled softly and said, "Listen to me, let them wait in the living room for me. And make two cups of coffee in the meantime."

"Alright." Ms. Zhao agreed, quickened her steps, and left.

"Hmph!" Mei Ruyan was very unhappy, she said to Bai Shishi, "Shishi, you’ve surely heard about what the Huang family did, right? Why give them a good face?"

Liou Qingcheng also nodded and said, "It’s Huang He’s father, right? I also think it’s best to just turn him away. Li has yet to wake up, and that day in the hospital, Huang He even had people beat you. Now, why give them a good face?"

Bai Shishi laughed lightly, "I don’t like them either, but since the person is here, there’s no harm in meeting. Besides, not taking the gifts is a waste."

She finished, then winked at Lin Tian, smiling as she said, "Am I right?"

Lin Tian, with a bitter face, said, "Fine, then let’s meet him."

Telling Huang Miao to get lost just now was partly because of Li’s grudge and partly because the flirting atmosphere was ruined. Naturally, he was unhappy in his heart.

Now it’s obviously impossible to continue, since Huang Miao wants to come, might as well meet.

...

Today, it has been five days since Huang He was intercepted at the airport.

The matter of Lu Wenxuan hiring a hitman surfaced on the third day. As expected, Lu Wenxuan took all the responsibility on his shoulders. As for the Huang father and son, they were only slightly affected by the incident.

However, Wu Yong also didn’t plan to let them off easily. The stuff Huang Miao did, like embezzling and perverting the law, wasn’t in short supply. With a bit of keen investigation, it was possible to find its crux and deliver a fatal blow!

Having drifted in the business sea for decades, Huang Miao had no shortage of enemies. Now, with Wu Yong as the main attacker, many followed suit to pile on.

The Huang family’s days were getting harder day by day. This hurdle, who knows if they can get through it.

Out of utter helplessness, Huang Miao had only one path to take: come bearing hefty gifts and offer apologies!

It was just him following the nanny into the villa, along with two subordinates carrying gifts.

After Ms. Zhao led them to the living room, the two subordinates placed the items down and retreated, clearly not planning to take them back.

Ms. Zhao invited Huang Miao to sit for a moment, then brought over a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

After the nanny left the living room, only Huang Miao was left. He was in no rush, sipping his coffee while surveying the furnishing and layout of the villa.

Seeing the subtle signs, Huang Miao self-assuredly considered himself a person with good taste.

The villa’s décor was elegant, indicating the owner’s excellent taste and that she was a woman of character.

Indeed, Huang Miao knew the villa belonged to Lin Tian’s woman, also a member of Qiansimei, and residence of former Xianglong Tea House beauty BOSS Bai Shishi.

In the past, Huang Miao had visited Xianglong Tea House, lost some money there, didn’t go much, and never met Bai Shishi or Mei Ruyan.

Fifteen minutes later, upon finishing his coffee, and after surveying the villa, he leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

He knew he was being stood up.

This was an expected outcome, after all, he wasn’t a welcomed person. Being slighted was only normal.

Understanding was one thing, enduring was another.

Huang Miao only felt that these fifteen minutes passed excruciatingly slow, a form of humiliation.

More humiliating yet was... another two hours passed before Lin Tian slowly descended the stairs, fashionably late.

Huang Miao looked up at him, curious about how this young man would open up.

As Huang Miao looked up at Lin Tian, Lin was also looking down from the stairs at him,

Suddenly, Lin Tian shouted, "Oh! Isn’t this Mr. Huang?!"

His mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened, the expression of surprise acted out very convincingly.

"..."

Huang Miao was temporarily at a loss for words. What was he supposed to say, "I didn’t expect to run into you here, what a coincidence?"

Suppressing the simmering fury within his chest, Huang Miao forced a smile and said, "Didn’t anyone tell Mr. Lin that I came?"

Lin Tian smacked his forehead, feigning a sudden realization, and said, "Now that you mention it, I recall something like that happened. But I was playing a game at the time and accidentally forgot about you. I thought you’d left by now, didn’t expect you’re still here. What, planning to stay for a meal?"

"..."

The flame that Huang Miao had just pressed down rose again. What’s that supposed to mean? My importance pales in comparison to your game? Also, why does that sound like I have a thick skin?

You were the one late! How can you be so shamelessly confident with no reason? Isn’t that too brazen?

Huang Miao took the opportunity to say, "If that’s alright, then I’ll have a simple meal here."

Lin Tian looked at him disdainfully, "I was just being courteous, didn’t expect you to take it seriously; since you’ve got such thick skin, then eat. But let me warn you, with our current relationship, if you get a stomachache, I won’t be responsible."

"..."
