The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 549: Chapter 549: A Conversation Between Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law

Liou looked at Lin Tian’s face, remained silent for a moment, and then said with slight trepidation, ”Lin Tian... your aura is too fierce, isn’t it?”

Lin Tian was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly realized, it seemed he enjoyed winning too much, and didn’t hold back at all.

”You said before that there are no familial ties in chess; sitting opposite me, you’re my opponent, my enemy. I learned from a young age that when dealing with enemies, one must never be lenient, so it’s only right that I showed no mercy just now. If in real life, I were lenient with enemies, would you feel comfortable entrusting Qingcheng to me?”

Liou just wanted to speak but the words stuck in his throat.

Indeed, what Lin Tian did was not wrong, on the contrary, it was great... but he really didn’t spare me any face. I used to pride myself as a ’chess king’!

”Lin Tian, I want to discuss something with you.” Liou leaned in as if he had a secret to share.

”What is it?” Lin Tian also leaned in closer.

Their heads were no more than twenty centimeters apart, as if plotting something big.

”You must not mention today’s chess game to anyone, and definitely don’t brag about it, or you can forget about marrying my daughter.”

”...”

Lin Tian was speechless for a while, then nodded without a second thought, ”No problem.”

”And there’s one more thing.”

”What?”

”From now on, you must fight for me!”

”What the heck?”

”It means for any important chess match, you must help me, no matter what you’re doing.”

”Against whom?”

”Some bigshots in the business world and political circles; no worries, you don’t need to spare them any dignity, just crush them completely. I’ll teach you Go when I have time, and then we’ll be unstoppable!”

Lin Tian’s eyes widened in excitement, and he eagerly agreed.

Liou Zhengming was about to introduce Lin Tian to all kinds of elites; regardless, familiarizing himself first might one day come in handy.

Such resources are what many people dream of!

Clearly, Liou Zhengming’s view of Lin Tian had improved significantly since they first met; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things.

”Let’s call it a day with the chess; five consecutive games and I’m a bit tired.”

Liou Zhengming said solemnly, though his face showed no emotion, his heart was greatly unsettled. Only those who have ’battled’ with Lin Tian know how terrifying this seemingly gentle guy’s inner self is.

”Lin Tian, do you have any plans for the future?” Liou Zhengming spoke while starting to pack away the chess pieces on the table.

A chess lover cherishes the pieces and board deeply.

Lin Tian leaned against his chair, pondering. What to do in the future?

He hadn’t seriously thought about this question yet. Whether to enter the business world, medical field, or cultivation realm?

There were so many choices, and he’s proficient in all, making such decisions quite difficult.

”Just go with the flow. I’m not someone with ambitions.” Lin Tian replied with a smile.

”Go with the flow?”

Repeating these four words, Liou gazed ahead blankly, and only after a long while did his eyes regain focus. ”Going with the flow, that’s a good mindset, it means you’re easily satisfied, having no ambitions isn’t bad either.”

Liou had just been reflecting on Lin Tian’s last sentence, ’I’m not someone with ambitions.’

Damn, do you count as having no ambitions? You’ve devoured half of the Wang Family, now you’re taking away my treasure, and you’ve conquered the entire underground world of Kanyue City. Does this count as having no ambitions?

And he’s still so young, not even finished with his studies, yet has achieved so much.

At this rate, how much further will things go?

”Lin Tian, I don’t care whether you have ambitions or not. As long as you don’t let Qingcheng down, even if you commit crimes, I won’t care.”

In Liou’s eyes, nothing is more important than his daughter.

”Dad, don’t worry, I will never let her down in my lifetime.” Lin Tian said with a smile.

After glancing at Lin Tian’s face again, Liou sighed quietly. He wondered whether his daughter finding such an outstanding boyfriend was a blessing or misfortune?

”To be honest, I didn’t quite approve of you before. But I trust Qingcheng’s judgment; she’s always been my pride, her judgment couldn’t be that bad. Since she’s so infatuated with you, as her elder, what else can I say? I can’t break up the couple, can I?”

”Thank you, Dad.” Lin Tian said sincerely, observing the melancholy in Liou Zhengming’s eyes. The family’s little princess is about to get married, feeling down is quite normal.

”Lin Tian, what do your parents do?” Liou Zhengming’s melancholic expression returned to normal, and he even smiled slightly as he started casual chatting.

Having been in the business world since childhood, concealing one’s thoughts is second nature.

”They live in the town, have been growing oranges and watermelons on the mountain these years, and also raising chickens and fish; it’s all random busywork.”

Liou smiled lightly and said, ”Your parents seem to live a pretty decent life. Do they know about your current situation?”

Lin Tian shook his head, ”I haven’t told them yet, just said I got into Kanyue City Medical University and sent a few thousand bucks home. If I tell them too much... I’m afraid it will scare them, I’d rather tell them slowly.”

Indeed, this is a headache for Lin Tian. Figuring out how to gently tell his parents about his transformation is quite challenging. Even those thousands of dollars, Lin Tian lied, saying he won a lottery.

After all, he used to be so ordinary, poor grades, bad health, who would believe his current status is immeasurable?

”So has Qingcheng met them?” Liou Zhengming asked.

”Not yet, we haven’t been officially together for long.” Lin Tian answered truthfully.

”Is the New Year celebration at your place lively?”

”It’s lively indeed, at least the atmosphere feels stronger than in the city.”

”This year, how about we spend the New Year at your hometown; do you mind?” Liou Zhengming said, his tone light and sincere, leaving people unable to discern his thoughts.

”Uh?”

Lin Tian widened his eyes and gaped in surprise, ”You’re coming to my home for New Year this year?”

”Yes, every year in the city lacks meaning, perfect time to visit the picturesque and vibrant place.” Liou Zhengming spoke with an even broader smile. ”But there’s one condition, you must cook!”

”Okay.” Lin Tian shrugged, expressing no problem.

”By the way, I have another question.” Liou Zhengming said.

”What?”

”Is Qingcheng pregnant yet?”

”Not yet...”

”You rascal, you’d better work harder; I’ve longed to hold my grandchild.”

”I understand... I’ll do my best.” Lin Tian said, embarrassed.

”Alright, really, you can make it five times a night for me...”

Seeing Lin Tian’s odd expression, Liou corrected himself, ”Four times is okay too... then three times, absolutely no less!”
