"Hey, your name is Lin Mo, right?" Sima Qing suddenly looked at Lin Mo and asked.
Lin Mo turned his head to look at him, "Yes."
"Are you my sister's boyfriend? My sister has never brought a male friend home before." Sima Qing asked quietly.
"Sort of." Lin Mo replied indifferently.
"What do you mean 'sort of'?" Sima Qing looked confused.
Lin Mo frowned and said, "I also have a wife, and with your sister... we can be considered a couple too."
Sima Qing was so shocked that he almost rolled off the sofa. "Damn, you're really something," he said, eyes wide open. "Does my sister know?"
"Yes."
Lin Mo nodded. "Damn, this world is crazy. My sister actually wants to be the other woman." Sima Qing felt his mind go blank. "You're done for. When my uncle comes back, you're dead. You better run."
Sima Qing felt like his entire worldview had been flipped. Lin Mo has a wife, and he's also with his sister?
"Why should I run?"
Lin Mo frowned.
"Forget it, it's hard to explain to you. If you don't leave now, later... sigh." Sima Qing sighed.
Soon, Sima Zining brought a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of Lin Mo. White steam rose from the cup.
At this moment,
the sound of vehicles roared at the villa's gate, and two black Hummers parked in the small yard outside the villa.
In no time, three men and a woman emerged from the two cars. Among them were two middle-aged men with extremely robust builds, like iron towers, exuding an aura of having been through many battles, making it hard for others to look at them directly.
As for the other man, he was a young man dressed in black casual wear with slightly long hair, like a treasure sword radiating a sharp aura, instantly noticeable at a glance.
The only woman was dressed simply but had an elegant demeanor, somewhat similar to Sima Zining.
"Dad, Uncle, Mom."
Sima Zining was excited to see these people. She immediately ran over and clasped her mother Zhang Lan's arm, her face beaming with a bright smile.
"I haven't seen my daughter in a long time, getting prettier and prettier." Zhang Lan said with a smile.
"Of course. If my mom is so pretty, how can her daughter not be?"
Sima Zining said happily.
In front of family and close ones, Sima Zining acted so lively.
"Zi Ning, let me introduce you. This is Qi Min from the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, an elite disciple, who will work with our troops in the future." Uncle Sima Weimin suddenly said.
Seeing the lively and beautiful Sima Zining, Qi Min's originally indifferent eyes brightened slightly. He nodded at Sima Zining but refrained from speaking rashly.
Sima Zining also nodded politely, but her gaze quickly shifted away from him.
"Uncle, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Brother Qi." Sima Qing evidently knew the young man named Qi Min.
Sima Weiguo and Sima Weimin nodded slightly, but at the same time, turned their gaze to the ordinary-looking young man standing in the villa's living room, frowning involuntarily.
Too plain!
Nothing outstanding, at least from appearance.
"Zi Ning, is this your friend?" Zhang Lan asked with a smile, thinking Lin Mo looked a bit handsome and had a unique demeanor, somewhat satisfied.
"Yes, he's my boyfriend, Lin Mo." Sima Zining introduced with a flushed face. Earlier, in front of Sima Qing, she had only introduced Lin Mo as a classmate, but in front of her parents, she straightforwardly claimed him as her boyfriend. Sima Zining, astute and not foolish, seeing her uncle bring a young man home, linked it to past conversations and decided to clarify her relationship with Lin Mo.
Qi Min slightly frowned, a glint passing through his eyes.
Sima Weimin and Sima Weiguo both frowned slightly.
"Hello, Uncle, Aunt." Lin Mo nodded at Sima Weimin, Sima Weiguo, and Zhang Lan, but he didn't spare a glance for Qi Min standing to the side.
After all, given Lin Mo's realm and status, if not for being Sima Zining's relatives, they wouldn't even qualify to talk to him.
Qi Min's face turned somewhat grim.
"Hmph." Sima Weiguo gave Lin Mo a glance, snorted, and strode into the villa.
Zhang Lan looked at her daughter with a helpless expression.
Sima Weimin also didn't look at Lin Mo, leading Qi Min as they strode into the villa.
Just look!
Lin Mo wasn't even as outstanding as Qi Min.
Deep down, Sima Weiguo felt uneasy. He didn't understand what his daughter saw in him or if he had somehow tricked his daughter.
"Lin Mo, don't be mad." Sima Zining said helplessly: "They don't know your identity. I thought we had no future, so I never mentioned you before."
"It's fine."
Lin Mo smiled gently, not minding at all.
Lunch time.
In the villa's living room, Sima Zining had a feast delivered from a restaurant in Imperial City, straight to the villa.
While eating, the more Sima Weiguo looked at Lin Mo, the more displeased he became. Suddenly, with a smile, he said: "Eat more, Qi Min. After eating, let Zi Ning take you around Imperial City. Have you been to Imperial City before?"
"I've always been training at the martial arts hall. Haven't had much chance to go out for fun." Qi Min nodded.
"Dad, I don't have time." Sima Zining frowned, with a hint of displeasure.
"Qi Min is a guest and also an elite disciple of the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall. It's rare for him to visit. How can you not be a good host?" Sima Weiguo said sternly.
Lin Mo questioned curiously, "Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall?"
Seeing the curious look on his face, Sima Qing explained, "Not many people know about the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall. Only a very few know of its existence."
Sima Weiguo and Sima Weimin both showed a hint of pride on their faces.
Sima Weimin said: "The Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall is Huaxia's number one martial arts hall, in cooperation with our military, fostering new human."
"Weimin." Sima Weiguo suddenly frowned.
Realizing he might have spoken too much, Sima Weimin hurriedly shut his mouth.
"New human? What's the name of the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall Master?" Lin Mo asked calmly.
Qi Min's face showed a hint of arrogance. He didn't particularly like Sima Zining. After all, as a genius like him, he wouldn't lack beautiful women in the future. But Lin Mo's contemptuous attitude annoyed him, especially since now it seemed they were love rivals.
"Our master is called Fang Tangjing. Has Mr. Lin heard of him?" Qi Min replied sarcastically, usually very cold and indifferent, but Lin Mo's blatant disregard for him, coupled with their special relationship with Sima Zining, stirred a competitive spirit in him.
"Fang Tangjing is the master of the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall?"
Lin Mo pondered, "Indeed, I know Master Fang. It's just been a while since we've met."
With that sentence.
The entire dining table fell silent.
Qi Min widened his eyes. Did this guy just say he knows Master Fang?
