Chapter 359: It's just a misunderstanding

When the car stopped, Lin Yang got out of the car.

Liu Yan led Lin Yang as they walked into the house.

After entering the main gate, what came into view was a piece of Calligraphy and Painting.

The furniture inside the house was all made of huanghuali wood.

The interior decoration adopted a Chinese-style design.

In the living room at that moment, three people were seated.

Among them, there was one elderly, one middle-aged, and one young person.

When Xiao Zhengguo saw Lin Yang, his face instantly lit up with joy.

As for the middle-aged person's words, he couldn't be bothered to listen.

Instead, he wore a smile and walked toward Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, you little brat, you're outrageous—coming to Jinling and not even bothering to visit us."

Lin Yang smiled, clasped his fists, and said.

"I've been tied up with matters and couldn't come right away; please forgive me."

The old man, upon hearing that, struck Lin Yang's shoulder with One Slap.

"You little scoundrel, you still put on a refined act when you come to my place."

"I've seen you fight before, and I still like your arrogant spirit!"

Hearing Xiao Zhengguo's words, Lin Yang burst out laughing.

"Since you put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony."

"It's not like Liu Yan said your family is particularly particular."

The old man, upon hearing that, deliberately put on an angry look and gazed at Liu Yan.

"Little girl, when you come to my house, have I ever put on airs for you?"

Liu Yan gave Lin Yang a fierce glare, then apologized to Xiao Zhengguo.

"Uncle Xiao, I was wrong."

"Next time I'll steal my grandfather's Pu'er tea and give it to you."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Zhengguo snorted and said.

"Am I the kind of person who covets Pu'er tea?"

As Liu Yan was about to say she wouldn't take it, Xiao Zhengguo said.

"Remember to take more— that old miser, he's stingy to death."

Hearing Xiao Zhengguo say that, Liu Yan also replied, laughing and crying at once.

"Fine, take more."

Xiao Zhengguo laughed heartily, grabbed Lin Yang's hand, and walked over to sit on the sofa.

After sitting down, he glanced at the two people beside him.

"This is my son, Xiao Nanfei, and beside him is my grandson, Xiao Hua'an."

Then he turned and spoke to Xiao Hua'an.

"Hua'an, you should learn more from Lin Yang!"

"You have no idea how formidable he is in the southwest!"

"Even the top families in the southwest have to watch his expression and act accordingly!"

Watching Xiao Zhengguo boast on and on about himself, Lin Yang gave an embarrassed smile.

He clearly felt that Xiao Hua'an's gaze toward him had grown more hostile.

"Old man, that's enough—if you keep praising me like this, I'll feel embarrassed."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Zhengguo gave a cold snort and said.

"What, I can't even brag a little about my own grandson-in-law?"

"Grandson-in-law?"

Whether it was Xiao Nanfei or Xiao Hua'an, both looked at Lin Yang with some surprise.

At that moment, a female voice rang out.

"Grandfather, I'm back."

A woman in her mid-twenties with a ponytail walked in.

The woman was pretty, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were especially lively.

Behind the woman followed a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Upon seeing the woman, Xiao Hua'an shouted.

"Second sister, when did you find a brother-in-law from the southwest?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yufan looked at her brother with some doubt.

"What southwest brother-in-law? You must be out of your mind."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Hua'an immediately pointed at Lin Yang and said.

"Grandfather has already summoned the person—do you still want to deny it?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yufan looked at Lin Yang.

Upon seeing Lin Yang, her first reaction was that although he dressed ordinarily, his demeanor was not bad.

Moreover, his appearance was quite fresh and handsome; he was a decent person.

But the moment she thought that this was a marriage arranged by her grandfather, she immediately felt averse to it.

She gave a sly smile, looking at the man in a suit behind her.

Fortunately, I had prepared in advance this time, knowing the family gathering wouldn't be simple, so I specially hired someone to pose as my boyfriend.

"Xiao Hua'an, don't randomly call him brother-in-law; Andy is your brother-in-law."

Speaking, she pulled the man behind her to step forward.

"Let me introduce him to everyone, this is my boyfriend Andy, a high school classmate of mine who just returned from overseas studies."

Andy also smiled at everyone and said.

"My English name is Andy, and in Jinling I'm called Xu Ling."

Xiao Nanfei, hearing that, said with a hint of surprise.

"Are you from the Xu family?"

Xu Ling smiled slightly, nodded, and said.

"Yes, my father is Xu Fei; Uncle Xiao should know him."

Xiao Nanfei nodded and said, "Not bad, we are a match in social standing."

Having gained Xiao Nanfei's approval, Xu Ling smirked triumphantly and then glanced provocatively at Lin Yang.

He walked up to Lin Yang and said with a chuckle.

"Sir, nowadays marriages aren't arranged."

"You and Yufan's engagement—better call it off."

"Besides, we are the truly talented and beautiful, a perfect match."

He looked down at Lin Yang and said.

"Moreover, I've started my own company, with annual revenue reaching a million."

"I don't rely on my family; I can buy my own place outright within two years. What about you—where do you have a high-paying job?"

Looking at the proud Xu Ling, Lin Yang said.

"I think you've misunderstood something."

"Misunderstanding?"

Xu Ling snorted coldly and said to Lin Yang.

"Acting like this isn't very manly—if you can't measure up to me, you just claim it's a misunderstanding?"

"Someone like you had better leave Yufan sooner rather than later."

The other Xiao family members also had the air of watching a show.

Regarding Xiao Zhengguo suddenly bringing back a grandson-in-law, everyone was completely bewildered.

Aside from knowing Lin Yang came from the southwest, they knew nothing else.

Now is the perfect time to get to know him properly.

Seeing the smug Xu Ling, Liu Yan felt a surge of displeasure.

"Where did this person come from? As soon as he entered, he ran up to Lin Yang to Showing Off—so disgusting."

Thus, she spoke loudly.

"Wow, impressive—being able to buy a two-million-yuan house in two years, probably over a hundred square meters."

Liu Yan suddenly spoke up, causing Xu Ling to look over.

Xu Ling said proudly, "About right."

"If my family chipped in a bit, pooling together over ten million, I could still buy a villa."

Upon hearing that, Liu Yan said to Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, look at yourself—how can you not compare to others?"

"You claim you bought a Building King villa in the eastern part of the city without spending a penny, while others would have to spend over ten million."

Upon hearing that, Xu Ling frowned and said.

"How could you possibly buy a villa without spending a penny—do you think developers are idiots?"

Liu Yan nodded, took out the relevant documents, and said.

"Just before we arrived, Fatty Wang said Lin Yang had been given a villa with a floor area of five hundred square meters, three stories, and he didn't have to pay a cent."

"Mr. Xu, come take a look and see if it's real or fake."

As soon as those words were spoken, Xiao Hua'an and Xiao Yufan both stepped forward.

After looking for a moment, Xiao Hua'an sucked in a breath of cold air, his face full of shock, and said.

"I've heard of that divine project in the eastern part of the city; that villa must be worth over a hundred million, and they actually gave it to you!"

Lin Yang asked, "Is this villa really that famous?"

His calm demeanor seemed to say, "Is a full Manchu-Han banquet that expensive? I eat it every day."

Xu Ling's face instantly turned ashen.
