Chapter 197: Meeting the parents (8)
That was because this was just a picture from a surveillance camera of me entering a bar.
This didn\'t seem like it was anything that bad.
But the moment that I saw this photo, I couldn\'t help knitting my brows slightly.
That was because I recognized this bar that I was entering.
It was Sasha\'s bar.
And based on the clothes that I was wearing, this should have been when I visited her bar a few days after the Irregular License Exam. The day that I had gone in to do all of those experiments with her…
I never thought that she would suddenly bring out a photo of me entering the bar at this time.
When she saw that I had slightly knitted my brows, Long Shui Ling\'s mother revealed a faint smile.
She finally saw a reaction that she could follow up on, so she said, "It seems that little friend Lin recognizes this photo. Can you tell me what this photo is?"
I forced my expression to relax as I said, "This is just a photo of me going to a bar. I went to one to relax a few days after the Irregular License Exam."
Long Shui Ling\'s mother narrowed her eyes when she heard this before pulling out another piece of paper. She held it in front of her and seemingly read it as she said, "According to this report, this bar seems to belong to a girl named Sasha Cowen."
Then she turned to look at me as she said, "This is the same Sasha Cowen that you saved from the dungeon a while back. Can you really tell me that this is nothing more than a coincidence?"
When Long Shui Ling heard this, she moved over to her mother\'s side and looked at the report that her mother was holding.
Long Shui Ling\'s mother just turned the piece of paper a bit so that Long Shui Ling could see everything that was written.
As she read everything that was written, she couldn\'t help looking more and more unhappy.
Once she finished reading it, she had a frown on her face as she looked at me.
She came forward and slapped her hand on the table over the picture before saying, "Well? Why aren\'t you answering?"
Seeing that Long Shui Ling had gotten angry, her father and grandfather saw that it was their chance.
But before either of them could do a thing, Long Shui Ling turned to them and said, "This doesn\'t involve you."
When they heard this, the two of them looked like they were about to cry.
Long Shui Ling didn\'t care about them at all as she focused on me, waiting for me to answer.
I had been silent during this time since I was thinking of an answer.
"You know that I was the one that saved her from the dungeon back then, so she wanted to be friends with me after that and repay me for saving her. To do that, she gave me a share in her store, which is why I go there from time to time to help her." I said in a calm voice without any trembles.
There was a silence that followed after I said this as they all stared at me.
After a pause, I continued by saying, "I\'m sure that it\'s included in the report that you have, but Elementia has also invested in this store because of me. So I\'ve been going to the store more because she needs more help with all the business that Elementia has brought."
After this, I didn\'t say another word.
The silence that followed was a bit tense, but then Long Shui Ling\'s mother gave a slow nod in response.
This was indeed what had been written in the report and there wasn\'t a single thing that was off.
But that was a different matter.
She looked right at me and said, "Since you saved her, I\'m sure that you must have left quite the impression on her. A hero saving a beauty, I\'m sure that\'s quite effective, isn\'t it?"
When she heard this, Long Shui Ling couldn\'t help being indirectly hit by this.
After all, that was also how she had met Lin Fan.
Long Shui Ling\'s mother then narrowed her eyes to look at me as she said, "Can you say that you really don\'t have that kind of relationship with her?"
I just calmly looked back at her and said, "I promise, I do not have that kind of relationship with her. Other than with your daughter, I don\'t have any other relationships."
Her father and grandfather looked like they wanted to kill me again, but I just ignored them as I looked right at Long Shui Ling\'s mother.
After everything that she had done, I realized that she was the most terrifying member of this family.
Instead of wearing her emotions like a sleeve, she kept her thoughts hidden and attacked from unexpected places. She was someone who had researched everything and then used all of it to attack me.
In the future, it would be unknown what she would do when I tried to put my plan in action.
So she was the one that I had to watch out for.
Long Shui Ling\'s mother just looked at me for a bit with a sharp gaze, but her expression relaxed when Long Shui Ling came forward to hold her hand.
Long Shui Ling\'s expression was no longer as sharp as before.
It seemed that she had forgiven me for whatever she had blamed me for.
Long Shui Ling\'s mother just gave a sigh before saying, "Alright, since it seems like you haven\'t done anything to wrong Ling Ling, I don\'t have anything to complain about."
I was about to let out an internal sigh of relief, but that was immediately stopped by her cold gaze falling onto me.
With that cold gaze on me, she said, "But if you ever let down Ling Ling…" Her eyes moved down to my lower half before she said, "I\'ll be sure to cut it off."
In the end, she threatened me just like the men did…
It seemed that they really were a good fit for each other.
But I just gave a nod before saying, "I promise I won\'t."
She just gave another nod before saying, "Un, alright, I\'ll believe you for now."
