At this time, Sima Qing and Sima Zining also came down from the second floor and just happened to see the old man return.
"Grandpa," Sima Qing called out.
"Grandpa, you're back?" Sima Zining's face lit up with a joyful smile, and she hopped over, affectionately holding Sima Aotian's arm.
Sima Aotian had three sons, two grandsons, and a granddaughter under his knee. Naturally, among them, Sima Zining was the old man's favorite.
"Why are you still clinging to your grandpa like a little girl? I heard you performed well in the Sky Group," Sima Aotian said with a smile, his face beaming even more.
"The work is okay," Sima Zining's smile bloomed like a flower. "It's all thanks to Instructor Liu Yun's help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have adapted to the job so quickly."
Sima Weiguo frowned, his face dark as if covered in soot, and said coldly, "Stop fooling around and tell me what exactly is going on with that boyfriend of yours?"
"What situation are you talking about?" Sima Zining looked at her father with a puzzled expression, seeing him as if he had swallowed gunpowder.
"Hmph, if Sima Qing hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known he's already married. And you're still with him? Did he deceive you on purpose? If so, I'll call someone to have him arrested immediately," Sima Weiguo said with authority, angry.
Sima Zining nodded, "Yes, I already know he's married."
"You!" Sima Weiguo was trembling all over, "You know, and yet you still..."
Zhang Lan also frowned, "Zining, you're not a thoughtless child. What's going on?"
Suddenly Sima Aotian smiled and said, "Oh, Zining, are you with Lin Mo now?"
"Yes." Sima Zining blushed lightly and nodded gently.
"Good, good." Suddenly, Sima Aotian burst into laughter, "You've been hiding this from your grandpa?" Sima Weiguo, Zhang Lan, Sima Weimin, and Sima Qing all looked puzzled. How could the old man still laugh?
"Dad, you're... Zining is being a third party for someone, and you can still laugh?" Sima Weiguo looked at Sima Aotian and Sima Zining both angry and confused.
Zhang Lan also frowned. Her daughter was naturally beautiful and came from a good family. How could she be a concubine for someone else? This was outrageous.
"Did my Brother Mo come by?" Suddenly Sima Mang interjected.
"Oh, you also know that Lin Mo?"
Sima Weimin looked at Sima Mang in confusion.
"Yes, Lin Mo is an honorary instructor of the Sky Group." When Sima Mang mentioned Lin Mo, admiration flashed in his eyes.
An instructor of the Sky Group?
Sima Weiguo, Sima Weimin, Zhang Lan, and Sima Qing were all briefly stunned.
But that Lin Mo looked so average, even a bit scholarly. How could he be an instructor of the Sky Group?
"So what if he's an instructor of the Sky Group? Is my Sima family not comparable to him?"
Sima Weiguo was still seething with anger.
The Sima family was considered quite a prominent family, with three powerful figures, and the third brother doing business abroad, ensuring the Sima family had no financial pressure.
"You don't know anything." Suddenly, Sima Aotian's expression changed, and he angrily rebuked, "Zi Ning being with Mr. Lin is her blessing, and also our Sima family's blessing."
With those words.
Everyone was once again shocked. What happened to the old man?
"Dad, what are you?" Sima Weiguo was somewhat scared yet still defiant after being scolded by the old man.
"Does our Sima family not match up to him? How can we let Zi Ning be his concubine!"
Sima Weiguo argued.
Zhang Lan also said, "Yes, the country does not allow polygamy."
Actually, that's just in the open. Those super families with power and money all have several wives, as long as they don't get marriage certificates.
"Mr. Lin is the top master, just returned from America, having subdued the entire continent. Is such a person unworthy of our Zi Ning?"
Sima Aotian coldly snorted and said about Lin Mo's feats in America. As long as there is a bit of an intelligence system, it will soon be reported back home.
One person subduing America?
The number one master in Huaxia?
This time, Sima Weiguo, Sima Weimin, Zhang Lan, and Sima Qing were completely stunned.
The boy who came to lunch today, is this impressive?
"He's an immortal, different from us ordinary people. Since he's an immortal, what's the harm in having a few more wives?" Sima Aotian shook his head and said.
Immortal?
Sima Weiguo and Sima Weimin, both working far away, rarely returned home, so naturally, they were unaware of Lin Mo's matters.
But hearing the old man brag about Lin Mo so impressively, they were surprised yet still held some doubts in their hearts.
But everyone knows, the old man never exaggerates.
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you in a while. Let's go sit and talk." Sima Zining cheerfully said.
Originally, Sima Zining was going to find time to explain to her parents, but with her grandpa back, everything was naturally clarified.
After all, Sima Aotian was the leader and backbone of the Sima family; with his opinion, Sima Weiguo would have to endure even if he was unhappy.
"Why didn't you tell me about you and Mr. Lin before now?"
Sima Aotian looked at his treasured granddaughter, his face showing a radiant smile.
"I wanted to give grandpa a surprise. Besides, you also know that Lin Mo and I didn't break that thin window paper before!"
Sima Zining said softly.
"Alright then, invite Xiao Mo over for dinner tomorrow. I haven't seen him in a long time." Sima Aotian said with a laugh.
"Okay, no problem." Sima Zining nodded gently.
Although Sima Weiguo, Sima Weimin, Zhang Lan didn't dare say anything more, they were still somewhat uncomfortable, hearing Sima Aotian praise Lin Mo as if divine, who knows what he's capable of?
Sima Weimin secretly pondered the matter of Sima Zining and Lin Mo. With the old man's strong support, he also had to give Qi Min a call at night to hint him a little.
Night.
The cold wind was piercing.
On a wide street, vehicles occasionally drove rapidly past, and the shops on either side had already turned off their lights and closed their doors to rest.
A slanted shadow stretched and lengthened on the asphalt road under the dim street lamps.
Under the streetlamp stood a young man in ordinary casual clothes, with short hair, his gaze somewhat cold, colder than the winter air.
"Wait a moment?"
The young man raised his head and suddenly called out to another young man walking down the street.
Lin Mo had just left the Sima family. Instead of flying or taking a car, he walked home to relax, as it had been so long since returning to the Imperial City, a place loaded with many memories from his youth.
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him. It was none other than Qi Min, whom he had met at the Sima family.
"Did you wait here on purpose for me? Do you have any issues?"
Lin Mo asked with a smile.
Qi Min looked at Lin Mo's calm demeanor, couldn't help clenching his fists, and suddenly said with a crooked grin, "You're Lin Mo, right? I'm Qi Min. You came to the Sima family today; I think you should know why!"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Lin Mo pretended not to understand and said lightly.
To be honest, Qi Min really disliked how Lin Mo always seemed so calm, neither arrogant nor humble, as if facing everything as an equal. But the more he was like this, the more it made Qi Min angry.
To be continued tomorrow.
