Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

Near Jiangchi District, Eight Immortals Inn.    

This was a relatively old restaurant in Qingyun City, widely known for serving its unique dishes. As time passed, certain rumors arose about how the elegant dishes were originally created by a master chef.    

After arriving at the company to pick Zhang Qimo up, they proceeded to drive to the restaurant.    

Upon reaching their destination, Wu Zhen found a parking spot before they all stepped out of the car.    

"Ugh... Mom and Dad are far too conceited. They clearly knew that Uncle Li moved into a new house just to show off. Furthermore, their daughter was even able to find a capable boyfriend. Even then, they still insisted on asking me to come over," Zhang Qimo said with a worried expression, reluctantly to attend the dinner banquet.    

She did not understand what her parents were thinking.    

Uncle Li and their family have been neighbors for more than ten years, so they could be considered old acquaintances. However, ever since Qimo's father was kicked out of the Board of Directors by Third Uncle in the company a few years ago — resulting in her family's financial crisis — Uncle Li and his family had practically cut off all connections with them. If that wasn't enough, Uncle Li's family had even visited and ridiculed them several times.    

After experiencing their true nature, her parents still wanted to have a meal with Uncle Li's family?    

"Isn't it natural? Now that you are successful, Mom and Dad are surely looking to regain some face," Lin Yin said.    

"I don't know what they're thinking. Ugh.... Anyway, it's so annoying. We have to face yet another group of hypocritical people," Zhang Qimo said helplessly.    

Lin Yin responded with a smile.    

Having been neighbors with them for such a long time, he naturally knew Uncle Li's family quite well.    

They were a very influential family. While they may have treated Qimo's family badly after the incident, their treatment was in itself part of human nature. There was nothing else to say about it other than that.    

After hesitating for a while, the two of them walked past the entrance of the Eight Immortals Restaurant.    

Lu Yahui and her husband were currently chatting with a pair of middle-aged man and woman.    

"Huh, has Qimo finally arrived? That has to be your car, right? Not bad... it should be around 500,000 yuan." The middle-aged woman walked over and analyzed Qimo's car.    

"Qimo, I heard from your parents that you have recently been promoted to the director of the design department of the company. Is that really true?" The middle-aged man beside the woman asked doubtfully.    

"Uncle Li, Auntie Liu." Zhang Qimo paid little attention to those the sarcastic words and greeted them politely.    

"Hey, Qimo, are you still spending your time with Lin Yin?" Li Zhen asked casually as he shifted his gaze towards Lin Yin.    

Lu Yahui quickly said, "Of course, they're still spending their time with each other. Qimo is the director of her department while Lin Yin works as her assistant."    

"Oh? An assistant. " Li Zhen shook his head before stating his opinion, "Men should have their own careers. Don't you feel ashamed of working under a woman?"    

Lu Yahui remained silent. However, she glared at Lin Yin as if she was not happy with Lin Yin's decision to attend the dinner banquet.    

*Ding!*    

At this moment, an Audi A8 suddenly drove past and blew its horn.    

After parking in front of the entrance, the driver clad in black opened the door of the back seat. Just as the door opened, a pair of fashionable young man and woman stepped out of the car.    

"Hey, Lan'er and Faang Ping are finally here," Li Zhen beamed with a face full of smiles before shooting his gazes at Lu Yahui and her husband.    

"Let me introduce you to them. This is Lan'er's boyfriend, Faang Ping. He is the general manager of a large real estate company in North City. He recently came back from studying abroad after graduating as the top student in his university!"    

"Our Lan'er found a good boyfriend. Did you see this car? Faang Ping bought the Audi A8 with his own money! It is much more expensive than that BMW 5 Series," Li Zhen flaunted. "Furthermore, he even said how he will be buying a new car soon. Thus, he will be handing this car over to me. Old Zhang, didn't you say how Qimo managed to become the director of the design department? Why can't the company afford to give her a car of higher quality despite her high position?"    

Lu Yahui and her husband's faces turned a little ugly. They had been bragging about how powerful Qimo was in front of their old neighbor Li Zhen. As soon as their daughter pulled up in a high-quality car with her boyfriend, however, Qimo was quickly outmatched.    

"Nice to meet you."    

A young man wearing a pair of glasses and a branded suit walked over slowly. Facing Zhang Qimo and her family, he held his head up high with his nose facing the sky. Clearly, he too had a great sense of arrogance.    

"Uncle, Auntie, let's go up and eat," Faang Ping said lightly, as if he had no interests in dealing with Zhang Qimo and her family.    

"Okay, let's go up and eat," Li Zhen said with a smile.    

With that, Li Zhen and his family took the initiative to go upstairs.    

"Qimo, I asked you to come here to give us some face. Why did you bring Lin Yin along with you?" Lu Yahui said in disgust. "He is the joke of our family! The laughingstock for others! Look how much more respected the son-in-law of the other family is!"    

Zhang replied, "Since I assumed that no one was going to cook tonight, I decided to ask Lin Yin to come over and have a meal together."    

"Aiya, can't you just let him go out for a meal?" Lu Yahui said in an annoyed tone. "Lin Yin, you can go for dinner by yourself. Don't follow us upstairs. Otherwise, Li Zhen will surely turn you into a laughingstock."    

"Forget it. Since he has already greeted them, wouldn't it make matters worse if he decides to leave?" Zhang Xiufeng said helplessly, "Anyway, let's go up."    

Although they could finally show off their daughter's achievements in front of an old acquiantance, their plan was quickly disrupted by Lin Yin's unexpected appearance.    

Lin Yin didn't say anything in response. He simply followed Zhang Qimo and her family into the Eight Immortals Restaurant.    

VIP room number eight on the second floor.    

By the time they arrived in the room, the table has already been filled with ten appealing dishes and two bottles of Maotai. Li Zhen and his family had already taken their seats.    

Lin Yin sat down quietly.    

"Qimo, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. I have been working outside for the past few years and heard that you're already married?" Li Lan, Li Zhen's daughter, asked out of curiosity.    

Li Lan's skin — as white as the snow — shone brightly amidst the room. In addition to her natural good look, she was also weaing a fashionable dress.    

"Qimo did not get married," Li Zhen stated with a cunning smile. "She simply recruited a son-in-law. Look, he's the one sitting next to her."    

"Huh? A son-in-law?" Li Lan questioned with slight surprise before shifting her gaze towards Lin Yin.    

Lin Yin looked quite delicate for a man, but his eyes seemed to still be filled with vigor. Other than these few points, however, his other features were rather ordinary. After all, he was dressed in clothes that only country bumpkins would wear to such events. Not only was did he just wear a plain white t-shirt and jeans that seemed to have been bought from a street stall, but he did not even have a decent watch to wear on his wrist.    

He was a mere country bumpkin.    

After finishing the assessment of his apperance, Li Lan looked at Lin Yin with disdain.    

"Qimo, what does your husband Lin Yin do?" Li Lan asked.    

"He used to set up a barbecue stall before. But now, he's working as Qimo's assistant," Li Zhen said with ridicule.    

"Oh."    

Affirming the fact that Lin Yin possessed nothing, Li Lan revealed a prideful expression. She then thought to herself, 'So that man is simply living off his woman, huh?' Compared her boyfriend to that leech would simply be an insult.    

"Old Zhang, we've been neighbors for the past seven or eight years. This time, we're finally going to move out. Come, let's have a drink together," Li Zhen said proudly as he lifted his glass.    

"To be honest, Old Zhang, this Jiangchi Residence is really too shabby. How can people still live in such a place? I think it's also about time for you to find a new house," Li Zhen said casually. "If you continue to stay in such a place, wouldn't it be embarrassing for your friends and relatives to come and visit you?"    

"Ahem," Lu Yahui coughed and changed the topic. "Old Li, have you seen the news recently? Our Qimo has been on the headlines of all the big newspapers and magazines. The piece of jewelry she designed two days ago was sold at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan."
