Chapter 121 Lin Family’s Hongmen Banquet (Third Watch)

Chapter 121: 121 Lin Family’s Hongmen Banquet (Third Watch)The guys burst into sleazy laughter when they heard Tie Dan’s remark, "Wow, look at that, the sun rose from the west today. Introducing work to us, huh?" Tie Dan snorted coldly, "So, what do you think of this girl?" "She’s pretty," one of them flicked his cigarette ash, "Tie Dan, she doesn’t have any backing, does she?" If they screwed this up, it wouldn’t be fun at all. "I wouldn’t know about that," Tie Dan shrugged, "I just spotted a target and let you guys know, that’s all. As for whether she has any background or what kind, aren’t you guys the experts? You shouldn’t even have to ask me." He only wanted to know one thing, how this girl had managed to fight back that night, and whether she was trained. "Thanks," they tossed a pack of cigarettes to Tie Dan, "We’ll follow her for a few days, see what’s up with her before deciding. If she can fight, you definitely won’t miss out on your share of the benefits." The dance hall owned by Brother Huo hadn’t seen any new faces recently, and the number of customers had dropped significantly. That girl, who had both the looks and the body, could really spice things up if they could convince her to work at the hall. With a bit of make-up, she would be stunning. Tie Dan accepted the cigarettes and pulled one out to put in his mouth without saying another word. Su Xiaofeng knocked on the Lin Family’s gate, and after a few knocks, the gate opened. As soon as she entered, she heard laughter and joyful voices inside. "Old Lin, look at you, you have two daughters as beautiful as flowers at home, I’m quite jealous," said Dong Tianhao, who normally wouldn’t count, but having shaved his head bald and sporting a gold bracelet and a jade Guanyin around his neck, he looked the part. Lin Jianguo laughed gleefully, "It’s tough keeping daughters at home, I don’t know how long they’ll be with me."

"If you can’t bear to see them leave, you could always have them bring a husband home," Old Dong glanced at the door, noticing a girl entering, and squinted his eyes, "Old Lin, looks like you have guests." Lin Jianguo looked towards the door, stood up smiling like the spring breeze, "That’s no guest, Old Dong, you may not know her, but this is Xiaofeng, Yuzhu’s eldest daughter. Yuzhu’s daughter is also my daughter, so I actually have three daughters now." This Old Dong was a bit of a brute who had struck it rich a few years back through illegal mining, becoming a nouveau riche, and had also invested in a few shopping malls in the city, making him a well-known rich man in this county. That’s just how some men are; once they have money, they enjoy playing around with women. His former wife couldn’t stand his philandering and divorced him, his younger son being with the former wife, while Tianhao stayed with him. Old Dong’s gaze lingered on Xiaofeng’s face and body for a moment, his eyes shining brightly, "I must say, each of your daughters is more beautiful than the last, you are really enviable, surrounded by beauties at home." "Su Xiaofeng." Dong Tianhao, thinking back to the treatment he received at the dumpling shop, stood up abruptly, "You’ve got some nerve showing up at the Lin’s." Su Xiaofeng looked at him, her tone light and cool, "What, do I need your permission to come here?" He isn’t even from the Lin Family, after all. Dong Tianhao, choked by her words, was at a loss for words. "Tianhao," Old Dong said, "As a man, you need to be magnanimous. Without even that bit of tolerance, how can you expect to achieve great things?" Hearing his father’s words, Dong Tianhao’s face turned utterly dark. Staying by his father’s side, how could he not understand that his father probably had his eyes on this Su Xiaofeng? "Uncle Dong, don’t blame Tianhao. The day before yesterday we went out to eat, and we bumped into Xiaofeng; things got a bit unpleasant, so Tianhao might be a bit agitated seeing Xiaofeng today," Lin Jing hurriedly spoke up for Tianhao. "It’s inevitable for young people to have some friction," Lin Jianguo seemed to understand perfectly, "Tianhao, Xiaofeng is Lin Yue’s sister, hang out more and get to know each other better." "Right, right," Old Dong speaking straightforwardly, "Young people should spend more time together." "Xiaofeng." Luo Yuzhu brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen, "This is your Uncle Dong, this is Tianhao. Uncle Dong heard you were coming home for dinner and insisted on coming over to meet you." "Yuzhu was a beauty in her younger days, but I never expected Yuzhu’s daughters to be even more beautiful. Xiaofeng, right? This is a gift for you from your uncle. If you ever run into trouble in the city, you can come directly to me. Not to boast, but there isn’t an issue in this whole county that I can’t resolve with a word." It’s said that money can make the world go round, and as long as you aren’t breaking the law, you can do quite a lot with money in this county. "Look at what you’re saying." Lu Yuzhu smiled and approached the table, "Xiaofeng’s fate is harsh; she barely found a boyfriend on her own, and just like that, he dumped her because he was from out of town. Old Dong, you know a lot of people, find someone suitable to introduce to my Xiaofeng." "Such a beautiful girl, shouldn’t worry about finding a boyfriend." Old Dong, in good spirits, glanced at Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, come sit by your uncle and let’s chat." Disdain flashed in Dong Tianhao’s eyes, thinking his dad really wanted to try his luck with everyone, not feeling disgusted, "Dad, playing matchmaker isn’t easy, especially when there’s already a child involved." Not to mention the risk of being taken advantage of. Dong Tianhao’s eyes returned to Luo Yuzhu, whose expression was natural, "That’s why I say her previous man was inhuman, impregnated my Xiaofeng and then disappeared. The child insists on waiting for him to return, and I’m helpless. I thought, since you know many people, firstly to see if you can check on her boyfriend, and secondly to see if there’s any suitable match." "Truly a hard-luck girl." Old Dong sighed, he couldn’t stand to see women suffer, "Xiaofeng, don’t worry, leave this matter to me, your uncle will definitely find a good man for you." Such a lovely girl being unwanted, it’s truly a waste of beauty. "Xiaofeng, come, toast your uncle, let him keep an eye out for a good household for you. If you marry well, both I and your Uncle Lin will rest easier, won’t we? As she spoke, Luo Yuzhu poured Xiaofeng a glass of juice, "Take this juice instead of wine, toast to Uncle Dong." Since entering, Xiaofeng had been standing to the side, watching Luo Yuzhu warmly hosting her, her expression calm. Lin Yue glanced at her, a flicker of contempt in her eyes. Lin Jing’s expression was tender, conversing with Grandma Lin, her face full of smiles. Lin Jianguo looked at Xiaofeng with a full smile, encouraging her. Su Xiaofeng’s eyes gently swept over the gathering; on the surface, this family banquet seemed exceedingly friendly. She sat down by Old Dong, a faint smile appearing, "Uncle Dong, don’t listen to my mom’s nonsense. My man hasn’t abandoned me; he will definitely come back. As for introductions and such, really, there’s no need." Luo Yuzhu listened to her words, her brows furrowing. She gets taken advantage of, and yet she thinks she’s in the right? She claims to have a man, but where is he? She might as well produce one to show everyone. If it weren’t for the fear that her future child would implicate the Lin family, do you think I’d be willing to go through all this trouble? This brainless child, not sure whom she takes after, can’t think straight. Lin Yue chuckled, "Su Xiaofeng, you’re really funny; you don’t mean to say that the man from the dumpling shop that day was your boyfriend, do you?" The idea that she has a boyfriend, clearly having been taken advantage of, not even knowing who the man is. "If it’s true that you’ve got a boyfriend, it’s good news, why not bring him home and let mom have a look, let everyone check him out, and maybe handle the matter while we’re at it?" Grandma Lin smiled and inserted her opinion. Having her find a boyfriend should keep the peace, but the fear is her making noise everywhere that she’s Lin Jianguo’s stepdaughter. Su Xiaofeng pursed her lips, smiling lightly, "The way I hear it, inviting me home for a meal is false, executing an interrogation is true." "Xiaofeng, what way is that to speak? Both your Uncle Lin and Grandma Lin are just showing concern for your marriage, you should be polite." Look at that, a perfectly good daughter taught wrong by that kidnapper, completely lacking manners. "Even you have no right to manage my marriage, how could they?" If they’re given a chance today, who knows what kind of decisions they’ll want to make concerning my marriage in the future. Luo Yuzhu turned pale, Xiaofeng was truly disappointing; listen to her, she completely unable to appreciate the care being offered. With a stern face ready to lecture, such ungratefulness, who would dare to marry her: "Xiaofeng, we’re adults now, we need to be clear about what we want. Your Uncle Dong has private mines and properties, he knows more people than you’ve ever met." "If not for yourself, think of the child you’re carrying." Grandma Lin spoke earnestly, "People need to look to the future, always focusing on the immediate surroundings won’t get you far." Not wanting to marry, could she possibly want to split the Lin family’s wealth? The Lin family’s wealth has nothing to do with Su Xiaofeng. Getting invited to a meal at home was already the best treatment the Lin family could offer her.
