Leaving the scene of the Gambling Stone Convention, Lin Mo returned to his dormitory at Tian Nan University.
The night passed like water, and early the next morning, Xia ngdie was already waiting for Lin Mo at the school gates.
When she saw Lin Mo arrive, she imdiately showed a face full of surprise, as if she were a wife eagerly looking out for her husband's return from afar.
Before Lin Mo could reach her, Xia ngdie took the initiative to approach him, joyfully saying,
"Mo, you're here."
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Not at all, seeing you is the happiest thing for ."
"Let's go, we're off to wish your grandfather a happy birthday."
They quickly hailed a taxi and headed to the Xia Family residence.
The weather wasn't great today, but Xia ngdie's mood was a mixture of shyness and joy. This was the first ti she had ever brought a boy ho since she'd grown up.
Although it was just to wish her grandfather a happy birthday, it held great significance for Xia ngdie.
While the Xia Family hadn't reached the status of being among the top ten families, they were definitely a significant clan.
The entire Xia Family villa covered an area of about five or six acres, very luxurious; by today's market value, it was worth at least several billion.
Even though it was still morning, the Xia Family's gates were already bustling with people coming and going to offer their birthday wishes, countless in number.
Clearly, Old Master Xia still had considerable prestige and fa.
When the taxi stopped, they were imdiately t with many disdainful glances.
After all, who among the guests coming to wish Old Master Xia a happy birthday didn't arrive in a luxury car?
At the very least, they would be driving a small SUV worth a couple of hundred thousand.
Xia ngdie, however, didn't care at all; she took Lin Mo's hand and walked towards the Xia Family's main gate.
Seeing this scene, many people frowned slightly:
"Is this young man Xia's daughter's boyfriend?"
"Judging by how close they seem, perhaps it's true."
"Alas, the Xia Family's daughter's taste isn't particularly good, is it? How co she picked such a penniless guy?"
Hearing the voices around them, Xia ngdie didn't care at all. In her eyes, as long as she liked him, no matter what others thought, it wouldn't change how she felt inside.
As for Lin Mo, he also couldn't be bothered to take issue with these people; after all, how could ants comprehend the position of a dragon?
As Xia ngdie was leading Lin Mo by the hand, just before they entered the Xia Family villa, a middle-aged man and woman approached Xia ngdie.
"Die'er, you..."
The middle-aged man appeared surprised to see Xia ngdie, and his face showed obvious displeasure.
As for the middle-aged beautiful woman, she glanced at Lin Mo, and her phoenix eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
Lin Mo gave her a first impression of being tall and straight, handsoly masculine.
Xia ng Die first glanced at the middle-aged couple, then, with a shy smile, introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Lin Mo."
"Die'er, your taste isn't bad," Mrs. Xia said with a slight smile, seemingly in praise.
As for Father Xia, he frowned slightly and glared at Lin Mo, saying to Xia ng Die, "ng Die, Dad has told you not to casually choose a boyfriend, and certainly not the kind who can't provide you with happiness and a future."
"Dad, I'm sure Lin Mo will make happy. Can't you trust your daughter's judgnt just once?"
"It's not that Dad doesn't trust you, but most n these days aren't up to much. Besides, you and he just arrived in a taxi—I saw everything."
"What's wrong with taking a taxi? Dad, does love really have to be asured by money and status?"
"ng Die, Dad is saying all this for your own good. Right now, you might not think it's a big deal, that's only because you haven't really stepped into society yet. But when you understand the importance of power and status, you'll know that finding soone truly worthy of you is what happiness is about. If it's the wrong love, it's better to end it sooner rather than later."
"Dad, what are you really trying to say?"
Father Xia didn't answer but glanced at Mrs. Xia and said, "You take ng Die inside first, I'd like to have a chat with her little boyfriend."
Xia ng Die looked at Lin Mo and was just about to say sothing when Lin Mo simply smiled and said, "Die'er, go in with your mom. Since your uncle wants to chat with for a bit, I'll just talk with him."
Then, Mrs. Xia took Xia ng Die towards another part of the villa, while Father Xia snorted coldly at Lin Mo, "Follow ."
Lin Mo remained calm and didn't say much.
Soon, the two arrived in another room. Entering the room, Father Xia sat down behind the desk and asked Lin Mo indifferently,
"Lin Mo, is it? How long have you known my daughter?"
"Over two years."
"What?"
Hearing that, Father Xia beca slightly angry, "You little rascal, how dare you secretly hook up with my daughter behind my back!"
Lin Mo slightly furrowed his brow and said in a calm voice, "Don't put it so unpleasantly. ng Die and I genuinely like each other; it's not a matter of who hooked up with whom."
"Humph! Stop spouting nonsense to . You just ca here in a taxi—I saw it all. Do you know how many companies and assets our Xia family owns in Imperial City? Frankly speaking, your family background doesn't match my daughter's at all!"
"Another thing, do you know how excellent my daughter is? If everything goes as planned, after she graduates from university, master's and doctorate degrees will be within easy reach for her. What about you? I reckon that after you graduate from university, you'll just loaf around, and if you can earn a salary of ten thousand a month, that would be the limit."
Lin Mo looked at him with an indifferent expression and asked, "What are you really trying to say?"
"What am I saying?"
Father Xia stood up, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag with an arrogant tone, "You must be eyeing our Xia family's assets, huh? Let tell you, although I only have one daughter, not just anyone is eligible to marry her!"
"How about this—I'll give you five million to walk away from my daughter's life. How does that sound?"
Lin Mo gave him a cold glance, his tone icy, "If it weren't for the fact that you're ng Die's father, maybe I would have already slapped you a few tis."
"You think you're very rich, huh? I'll tell you sothing. Not to ntion five million, even five billion laid out in front of wouldn't make blink!"
With those words, Lin Mo, hands in his pockets, strolled casually towards the door.
Father Xia, shaking with rage, pointed in the direction Lin Mo was leaving and yelled, "Arrogant kid, who doesn't know how to boast? Acting all high and mighty in front of , huh? You're nothing but a penniless nobody. Offering you five million is a huge favor already! My daughter is absolutely not going to marry a good-for-nothing like you!"
