Chapter 321: Testing The Waters
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The first thing he saw was, of course, his adopted son. Since they separated in Northeastern China one month ago this was the first time they’ve met. His eyes were tired and his face was pale. He grew and looked like he was about 185 centimeters.
The foster father’s eyes briefly stopped on Li Xianyu before he glanced over and saw Great-Grandma who looks like a girl about 18 years old, with black silky hair flowing down like a waterfall and a cute mole on the right corner of her eye. Gosh, she is beautiful.
Then he saw Battle Lady. Gosh her legs are so long. Is she a model?
Then there was San Wu, who had a beautiful face, but lacked expressions. Did this girl have plastic surgery? It’s said that the beauties made from plastic surgery would have such facial paralysis. But, gosh, how beautiful.
Finally, Hua Yang... There is even a taoist nun?
His foster father stayed for a moment, and before Li Xianyu opened his mouth, he slammed the door shut. He must have opened the door in a wrong posture.
He trotted into the kitchen, with a strange expression. “Dear, Salted Fish said he will be taking his female classmate home right.”
The wife nodded. “Yes.” She turned her head and looked at the direction of the porch. “Why did you close the door? Go and let your son in.”
“No.” The foster father waved and said mysteriously, “Our son might be scammed into a MLM.”
The foster mother stopped cooking for a moment and looked at him. “What do you mean?”
The foster father pointed to the gate, and his face was exaggerated. “He brought back many female students. And they were all very beautiful. No, they are fairy-like.”
He twisted his body as his hand gestures curved from the top of the bottom. “They are all very beautiful. Look at their little faces, gosh, they must have come back from Korea.”
He then continued, “I thought about it. If it’s not a MLM, how could our son hook up with so many beautiful girls?”
The foster mother rolled her eyes and waved her hands indifferently. “So you are saying there are only beautiful girls in MLMs? Even if that was true, if they were really here to sell their MLM schemes, just let our daughter chase them out. Stop wasting time, open the door.”
The foster father opened the door with a warm smile on his face. “It’s a bit messy at home. I’ve tidied it up a bit, sorry for the wait.”
As an experienced manager, he had mastered the art of talking nonsense without giving a care in the world.
Li Xianyu glanced at his foster father. No one would understand the father more than the son, so he knew what happened, but didn’t have the energy to comment. When the foster father saw Hua Yang and Great-Grandma, there was no disturbance in his eyes. He didn’t seem to know them.
This made Li Xianyu happy and at the same time, a little disappointed.
“Dad, how are you? I bought you some health products.” He blinked at his foster father and whispered, “There’s also a bottle of viagra. It’s tens of thousands of dollars. Good stuff.”
“Get lost,” said the foster father disdainfully. “Did you think I needed that? However, since you are so filial, I’ll receive it. I’ll just eat it occasionally... No wait, where did you get so much money?”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady sweetly smiled. “Good day Uncle, I was the one who bought it.”
The foster father looked at her, surprised, and rubbed his hands. “Oh my, how can I receive such an expensive gift?”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady replied with a smile. “It’s nothing. It was a pity that I had just bought a Ferrari sports car this month, so I was a bit tight on money. Otherwise, I would have bought a better gift for you.”
Hua Yang and Great-Grandma couldn’t help but roll their eyes at her.
The foster father suddenly looked at her with great admiration. He stretched out his arm and pushed Li Xianyu aside and said, “Please come in, please come in.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady strode in with her pair of long legs. As she entered the room, her gaze swept through the house layout. Although the house interior decorations were a little old, it exuded the class of that era when it was built, all the rooms were huge!
The whole room was estimated to be about 130 square meters. In today’s Shanghai, only a tyrant could afford such a giant home. Ordinary office workers could at most afford a 50 to 60 square meters home after saving for many years.
As her gaze swept across the room, her gaze suddenly paused when she looked into the living room.
“Let’s go.” Great-Grandma pushed her from behind. She went into the room and looked at the living room. Her face stiffened too.
Hua Yang was puzzled. After entering the room, she took a look at the living room and was slightly stunned as well.
Cui Hua walked into the room with her head held high. She looked into the living room. She seemed to be frightened as well. Her tail is raised in an instant, standing tall.
Li Xianyu entered the house, turned his head and saw the cold Ice Shards.
She was sitting on a single-seater sofa, facing the porch, with her legs crossed and her hands crossed before her stomach like a boss. Her face was as cold as an iceberg, and her eyes were colder, and gave off a ruthless sense of oppression.
This woman had a strong aura. The harem regiments all felt a cold hostility.
“She doesn’t seem to welcome us...” Thunderbolt Battle Lady had met Li Xianyu’s elder sister before. Back when they met in the northeast, she was also very cold. People who were indifferent always gave off a feeling of oppression. At that time, she had only thought that this elder sister of Li Xianyu was very cold and difficult to get along with.
It was totally different today. It was colder, and it was a little hostile. It was so hostile that she almost got on the alert.
“Ice Shards doesn’t seem to like me taking people home. Well, she likes to be quiet.” Li Xianyu put the bunch of gifts to the side. Picking out the gift he brought back for her, he walked over, smiling flatteringly. “Sister, I bought you a little gift.”
It was a pair of expensive jogging shoes and a delicate wrist watch designed for ladies.
Ice Shards took a look. Her face slightly improved, and she said, “Mmhmm.”
The foster father said happily, “Sit, everyone. Please take a seat.”
“This is my daughter, Li Yihan, the sister of Xianyu,” he told the harem.
San Wu looked at Ice Shards, her eyes flickering with the light of spirit. “Do Yihan, Love Yihan1?”
The atmosphere suddenly died.
Ice Shards’ mouth slightly twitched.
This was something that Li Xianyu often said, but never did he expect that San Wu would suddenly say it. Although Ice Shards did not look at him, Li Xianyu instinctively tightened his backside and felt a chill down his spine.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady laughed to break the embarrassment. “Hello, elder sister.”
Ice Shards didn’t bother to reply to her and her eyes turned to Li Xianyu.
Great-Grandma and Hua Yang were also people of great stature, so they just nodded as they greeted Li Xianyu’s family.
The foster father looked at Li Xianyu. The father and son truly know each other, and the son instinctively knew that his father was waiting for him to introduce his female classmates.
Li Xianyu pondered a little and found it really awkward. He found that he couldn’t introduce them himself. He smiled and said, “They are all my female classmates.”
His foster father was in disbelief.
How am I supposed to introduce them? Come come, this one is my Great-Grandma, I don’t know her name because I only had only addressed her as my Great-Grandma before. As for this lady, she is my biological father, also your good brother’s fiance. Her taoist name is Hua Yang, I don’t know her real name. This long-legged beauty is my colleague. Her nickname is Thunderbolt Battle Lady, her name is unknown either. As for this girl without expressions, she is Ayanami Rei.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen as the TV played meaningless advertisements. Apart from that, all was silent. Occasionally one could hear the awkward laughters of the pair of father and son.
The situation was a little awkward.
“Look at me. I forgot to pour you tea.” His foster father pulled his son’s arm and motioned him to join him in the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen and closing the door, the father faced the son and murmured at the door, “What’s the matter with your female classmates? They are so difficult to get along with. The only one who was vaguely easy to interact with was the long-legged one.”
The other two ladies gave him the stare of death and he felt really uncomfortable. It was strange to say, but even the look in the cat’s eyes made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
“Maybe it’s because my sister is too cold, which makes them feel awkward. It’s all my sister’s fault.” Li Xianyu took the opportunity to complain.
“You know your sister has always been like this since she was young. Our relatives don’t like her.” His foster mother put in a word, and she felt helpless against her daughter’s personality.
“She always acted like an empress, so she must have the airs too, right?” His foster father refused to accept that line of logic.
“Get lost. Ask yourself, which man in the world would be able to stand her personality? I think your daughter will stay at home and get moldy.” Li Xianyu snorted, as he commented deep down. Of course if you don’t mind I can take care of her and solve this problem internally.
Either way, he was already used to the personality of Ice Shards.
“Anyway, what’s the matter with those female students? Where do you find so many beautiful classmates? What’s their relationship with you?” his foster father whispered.
“Ordinary friends.” After Li Xianyu finished, he was immediately given a despised look by his foster father. “I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. Don’t give me bullshit.”
He can see at a glance whether it was a normal classmate relationship. There was a tacit understanding between his son and the girls, which couldn’t be disguised.
“I’ve never touched any of them.” Li Xianyu shrugged and looked at his mother. His voice was very low as he said that.
“Look at your kidney deficiency,” his foster father sneered in disdain.
“Where’s the tea, dad?” Li Xianyu said.
“In the cupboard, I’ll find it.” His foster father turned around and opened the cabinet.
Li Xianyu stayed silent and approached his foster father. He gathered his sword aura to his finger and pointed to his dad’s lumbar. His sharp sword of qi went straight for his dad’s waist.
All the people in the living room noticed the fluctuation of qi. Their faces changed one after another. They didn’t expect Li Xianyu to be so determined.
Pat! The remote control in Ice Shard’s hand fell to the ground.
Original: 干一行爱一行. 一行 (Yi (4) Hang (2)) sounds a bit like 怡涵(Yi (4) Han (3)). 一行 means “A Profession”, so the saying originally meant to love whatever job/profession you do.
