Chapter 587: Chapter 583: Warmth

There’s a saying that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the person leaves, the tea cools down. As Lu Tianxing and his group left the Tan Family, the people who had been staying there suddenly dispersed in a clamor, rushing back to their own clans or companies to sever ties with the Tan Family as thoroughly and quickly as possible. The Tan Family was finished, thoroughly so. If they didn’t distance themselves quickly, what would happen if Lu Tianxing decided to settle accounts later?

In the hearts of these people, Lu Tianxing was a true Killing God, someone with tremendous clout. For the sake of a woman, he forcefully broke into the Tan Family, and with his own power, rendered them completely defenseless. He even relegated the Tan Family to being just a part of Hang City’s history.

In the chilling fear that everyone felt, there was also a sense of relief that they hadn’t displayed any extreme behavior before, nor had they spoken any sarcastic words. Otherwise, who knows whether Lu Tianxing would have spared them. At the same time, there was a sense of pity, pity for the Lin Family. They had squandered what could have been a meteoric rise. If Lu Tianxing had been there to support the Lin Family, it’s likely that in a very short time, they could have become the next Tan Family, and even more formidable and terrifying at that.

However, all of this was no longer Lu Tianxing’s concern. After returning to the small villa he started out in, with Nanny Huang’s grateful voice echoing, Lin Zhanpeng took Lu Tianxing into the study, while Lin Qianru and Cai Shuya went straight into the kitchen. They said that since today was a reunion between mother and daughter, and also the day that Lu Tianxing, the new son-in-law, was visiting, it was truly a double celebration. As the mother-in-law, she naturally wanted to showcase her cooking to welcome him.

Meanwhile, in the study on the second floor, Lin Zhanpeng and Lu Tianxing sat opposite each other.

Lin Zhanpeng was seated on the sofa with not a hint of a smile on his face. On the contrary, his expression was slightly solemn. He had discovered that his future son-in-law’s identity was mysteriously terrifying. Lu Tianxing was supported by military documents, a status definitely not ordinary. Not to mention the Lin Family, even the Tan Family might not have the clout to get such support, let alone have special forces come for them.

Of course, Lin Zhanpeng was not at all worried that Lu Tianxing harbored ulterior motives towards the Lin Family. After all, the Lin Family was weaker than the Tan Family; if the Tan Family had been reduced to ashes, it would be a mere hand lift for Lu Tianxing to do the same to the Lin Family. There was no need for him to covet the Lin Family’s assets.

What Lin Zhanpeng was truly concerned about was whether Lu Tianxing was just playing with Lin Qianru and then would kick her away. Ever since they left the Tan Family, he noticed that his daughter seemed to have hung her entire heart on Lu Tianxing. If Lu Tianxing was just playing with Lin Qianru and then discarded her, Lin Zhanpeng really didn’t know what she would do.

”Tianxing, can you tell me where you are from?” After a long pause, Lin Zhanpeng finally asked, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Tianxing.

”I’m from Modu, where Qian Ru and I work at the same company,” Lu Tianxing said lightly.

Lu Tianxing was unconcerned with Lin Zhanpeng’s question. In his view, Lin Zhanpeng’s questioning was completely expected. After all, he was Lin Qianru’s boyfriend, and it was within reason for parents to worry about entrusting their daughter to the right person.

”So you’re from Modu. What about your parents?”

”I’ve never met my parents. I’ve been in an orphanage ever since I can remember. But it’s been so long; knowing them or not doesn’t mean much to me anymore,” Lu Tianxing said lightly, but a sorrow hidden behind his eyes was imperceptible to the average person.

After hearing this, Lin Zhanpeng froze for a moment and then quickly said with an apologetic face, ”I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

”It’s fine. It’s been a long time, and I’ve come to terms with it,” Lu Tianxing replied lightly.

Observing Lu Tianxing’s composure, Lin Zhanpeng inwardly sighed, his estimation of the young man rising even further. Not only did he possess great strength and power beyond ordinary men, but he could also master his emotions, not letting his feelings show to outsiders. Indeed, he was extraordinary.

When Lu Tianxing mentioned that he had never met his parents with a calm tone, as if speaking about strangers, Lin Zhanpeng could feel that Lu Tianxing truly cared about this matter, but simply didn’t wish to reveal it in front of others.

”Can you tell me how you know Flamingo?”

Lin Zhanpeng voiced his biggest curiosity but added, ”Of course, if it’s not convenient, you don’t have to say.”

”Uncle, you’re joking, there’s nothing that can’t be said,” Lu Tianxing replied, waving his hand. ”I used to be a soldier, and Flamingo and I were brothers in arms in the trenches. Later, I left the military due to some reasons.”

”I see,” Lin Zhanpeng nodded, about to ask something else when the study door was knocked upon and then pushed open from the outside. Lin Qianru stuck her head in and said, ”Dad, what are you and Tianxing doing in the study? Mom asked me to call you down to eat before the food gets cold.”

”Okay, okay, we’ll come right down,” Lin Zhanpeng waved at Lin Qianru with a warm smile on his face.

”Then hurry up,” she said.

After Lin Qianru left, Lin Zhanpeng looked at Lu Tianxing and said again, ”Lu Tianxing, from your performance today, daring to break into the Tan Family alone for Lin Qianru, I can see that you truly like Qian Ru. But I still have to say this, treat Qian Ru well. If you dare to wrong her one day, even if it costs me my life, I will take a bite out of you. I hope you understand this point.”

Hearing Lin Zhanpeng’s threat, Lu Tianxing wasn’t surprised; he nodded solemnly and responded, ”Uncle, I promise you, in this life, Qian Ru will always be my wife, Lu Tianxing’s wife. As long as I live, no one will be able to harm her.”

Lin Zhanpeng didn’t speak, only gave Lu Tianxing a deep look, and it took quite a while before he finally said, ”I trust you will treat Qian Ru well. Let’s go downstairs. Today, you and I should really have a good drink together.”

”No problem, today I’ll risk it all to keep you company, I’ll drink to my heart’s content with Uncle,” Lu Tianxing said, patting his chest.

As they spoke, the two of them stood up and walked towards the living room downstairs.

Meanwhile, the dining table in the living room downstairs was already full of exquisite dishes, five main courses and one soup, each dish emitting a rich fragrance that was appetite-inducing at first glance.

Coming down from upstairs, Lu Tianxing glanced at the hall. Cai Shuya and Lin Qianru were both there, but Nanny Huang wasn’t – she must have left to avoid disturbing the Lin Family reunion, especially considering the relationship between Lin Qianru and Nanny Huang, it would be unusual for her not to be present.

”Tianxing, you’re here, come over, see how you like Auntie’s cooking,” Cai Shuya said with a smile, watching Lu Tianxing. With no threat from the Tan Family and her daughter finding a desirable son-in-law, how could she not be happy?

”Auntie, you’re too kind.”

Smiling, Lu Tianxing approached the dining table and said, ”It smells wonderful, I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so impressive, Auntie. Just looking at these colors makes my mouth water, almost like a chef from a five-star hotel.”

”It’s not as amazing as you say, it’s just some home cooking, it can’t compare to a chef’s dishes.”

Even though she knew Lu Tianxing was just buttering her up, Cai Shuya’s smile grew even wider, and her gaze towards Lu Tianxing became even more affectionate.

”You’re wrong there, Auntie, what you call simple home cooking, there’s a saying that ’masters are found among the common folk’. The most delicious food also comes from everyday life. You see, those chefs may make dishes that are visually stunning, but in reality, they don’t taste good. There’s a saying that goes, ’Dishes that make the family happy are the most delicious.’ Now in my heart, Auntie, you’re a true master chef,” Lu Tianxing argued, continuing to flatter Cai Shuya.

”Tianxing, you’re so sweet-talking, no wonder Qian Ru took a shine to you. Let’s not stand around, come on, let’s sit down and eat.”

Cai Shuya called everyone to sit down.

Seeing the radiant smile on her mother’s face, Lin Qianru’s own face lit up with joy. She had been worried that her parents wouldn’t like Lu Tianxing, but it seemed she was worried for nothing. This fellow had a mouth as sweet as honey, managing to make her mother incredibly happy.

”Come on, Tianxing, try this and see how you like Auntie’s cooking,” Cai Shuya said as she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Lu Tianxing’s bowl, all smiles.

”It’s absolutely delicious.”

After tasting a piece, Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up as he praised it. It had to be said, Lin Qianru’s mother’s cooking skills were indeed terrific.

”I’m glad you like it.”

Cai Shuya’s smile became even more radiant, finding Lu Tianxing’s words very pleasing.

At that moment, Lin Zhanpeng suddenly said, ”Qian Ru, go upstairs to the study and get the ’Daughter’s Red’ wine I’ve treasured for many years. Today I want to have a good drink with Tianxing.”

”Qian Ru just came back, let her spend time with you. I’ll go get it!”

Before Lin Qianru could respond, Cai Shuya had already stood up and went upstairs.

Soon, Cai Shuya came back downstairs, carrying a small jar in her arms. She placed it on the table and opened it, and immediately, a rich aroma of wine wafted through the room.

”Tianxing, you’re in luck. This was brewed when Qian Ru was born, originally meant to be opened on the day she got married, but I’m happy today, so I’ve brought it out early. Come on, let’s you and I have a drink,” Lin Zhanpeng said, taking the wine jar and pouring a cup each for himself and Lu Tianxing. The two men clinked their cups lightly and downed the wine in one go.

With a beaming smile, Lin Qianru watched this scene, her face showing a deep sense of happiness. Her greatest wish was for family unity and harmony, and now it had finally come true. And all of this was thanks to the man in front of her. She, Lin Qianru, had not misjudged the person.
