Chapter 521: The Green Tea Among Green Teas!_1

"Zhen Family?"

Yin Tian muttered to himself, "It seems this is the place."

However, the Zhen residence seemed rather dilapidated.

Weeds grew wild on either side of the door, which was located at the very edge of Central City.

Yin Tian was a bit surprised but didn’t say much, stepping forward and lightly knocking on the peeling, mottled front door.

After what felt like an eternity, footsteps finally came from behind the door, which then slowly opened.

Zhao Wan poked her head out from behind the door.

Seeing Yin Tian, Zhao Wan also paused for a moment, but then her face broke into a coquettish smile, "I didn’t expect you would actually come to find me. I really have to thank you for yesterday’s incident."

Then, Zhao Wan stepped out from behind the door and walked up boldly, taking Yin Tian’s arm, "What brings you here to find me?"

Yin Tian was rather uncomfortable with Zhao Wan’s forwardness.

He furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice, "I wanted to come over and see your... Family Head."

Initially, Yin Tian planned to say he wanted to see Zhao Wan but changed his words last minute, indicating he wished to meet the Zhen Family Head.

"Sure, let’s go. I’ll take you there."

Zhao Wan pulled on Yin Tian’s hand, leading him toward a nearby house.

It was a study.

A middle-aged man was sitting inside, reading a book on the table.

"Dad, this is my friend. He said he wanted to come over and see you," Zhao Wan said softly to the man.

The man looked up at Yin Tian, then a smile appeared on his face, "Please, take a seat. Wan’er, go make some tea for your friend."

Yin Tian was seated in a chair by Zhao Wan, who then left with the teapot.

The man, smiling warmly at Yin Tian, asked, "Young man, why did you want to see me?"

Yin Tian did not respond to the man’s question but instead asked, "May I inquire Uncle’s name?"

The man looked meaningfully at Yin Tian, "My name is Zhao Tong, but young man, you don’t introduce yourself and instead ask for my name, isn’t that a bit impolite?"

Zhao Tong...

Yin Tian sneered inwardly, like a rat claiming a sparrow’s nest, still putting on airs like they owned the place, truly the case of the beam is crooked, and the pillar is askew!

Seeing Yin Tian lost in thought, Zhao Tong continued to watch him with a grin, "What’s the matter with you?"

"I am puzzled," Yin Tian replied, still fixing his gaze on Zhao Tong and getting straight to the point, "This place is known as the Zhen residence, so why is it that you and Miss Zhao are managing affairs here?"

Just as Zhao Wan came back with the teapot and heard Yin Tian’s question, her expression showed a hint of sorrow, "When I married into the Zhen Family, my in-laws had already passed away, and my husband was weak. It wasn’t long before he too passed away, and eventually, only I and my dad were left."

Yin Tian nodded, stood up without a word, and started walking outside.

"Are you leaving now?"

Zhao Wan’s gaze followed Yin Tian.

Yin Tian glanced at Zhao Wan.

He already knew the truth yesterday, yet Zhao Wan was still spinning stories to deceive him!

She didn’t even mention Zhen Huayi!

Zhao Wan and Zhao Tong did not stand up to see him off but stood there quietly watching.

It wasn’t until Yin Tian had left that Zhao Tong finally spoke up, "Has he left?"

Zhao Wan walked far from the study and seeing that Yin Tian had indeed gone, she returned to the study.

"Was that the man you were talking about last night?"

"It was him."

Zhao Wan nodded slowly, "Yesterday, even Mr. Lin backed that guy up and even directly crippled Wu Yuanshan."

"What’s this guy’s background?"

Zhao Tong stroked his chin, pondering aloud, "I heard that a new top tier family emerged in Central City yesterday, could it be him?"

"Impossible."

Zhao Wan shook her head and said, "If this person really were the scion of a top tier family, how could he have been frightened by Wu Yuanshan yesterday? If it weren’t for Mr. Lin stepping in, he probably would have been beaten."

"Hmm, you make a good point."

Zhao Tong nodded in agreement and then added, "However, this man being able to get involved with Mr. Lin is a good thing for us. Perhaps we can use him to get on board with the Lin Family’s big ship."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Zhao Wan’s gaze flickered as she looked at Zhao Tong.

She already understood Zhao Tong’s implication without it being explicitly stated.

And Zhao Tong simply smiled broadly, "This fellow saw you yesterday and came looking for you today. Do you think he has no interest in you?"

"Just show a little willingness, and are you afraid he won’t listen to you?"

...

Yin Tian had just stepped out of the Zhen residence and was not yet in the car when he heard footsteps coming from behind.

Then, a pair of hands covered his eyes.

The person shouldn’t have been able to get anywhere near Yin Tian, but since Yin Tian knew who it was, he pretended not to notice.

A seductive voice sounded in his ear, "Guess who I am?"

"Miss Zhao, what do you want?" Yin Tian asked.

"Boring, you’re not even playing along."

Zhao Wan put on a coquettish, little woman’s demeanor, and even without seeing, Yin Tian imagined he could see her charm.

"Okay, I’ll stop teasing you," Zhao Wan said with a light laugh before continuing, "I’m meeting up with a few girlfriends later, and they’re all bringing their boyfriends. Why don’t you come with me?"
