The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 414 - 0414: Someone Sets the Tone

Chapter 414: Chapter 0414: Someone Sets the Tone

In the living room, a group of aunts was passionately catching up with family gossip.

One was boasting about a new car purchase, another about a villa recently bought somewhere, and yet another about which beauty salon provided the best services.

When Lin Shanshan led Long Fei in, everyone ignored them, thinking perhaps a security guard had entered the room.

Lin Yingying was the star of the day, catering to the relatives like a new bride, serving tea and making sure everyone was comfortable.

Long Fei quickly sniffed the air, thankful that his wife’s mind wasn’t completely foolish.

The tea was just ordinary leaves, not his Blood Spirit Flower.

If the Blood Spirit Flower was wasted on these ordinary folks, he’d have nowhere to even cry about it.

"Long Fei, why have you only just arrived?"

She wrinkled her nose at Long Fei.

Lin Shanshan was even more enthusiastic as she loudly introduced, "Everyone quiet down a second, guess who I’ve brought?"

All eyes in the group of men and women suddenly focused on Long Fei, among them was a father and daughter whom Long Fei actually recognized.

Beyond them, the rest of the aunts showed a hint of surprise.

In their minds, Long Fei should at least be wearing a suit and tie.

But to their astonishment, he had on a military green shirt paired with the black trousers of a security guard.

Lin Yingying suddenly realized this and couldn’t help but slap her forehead, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

She was so excited earlier that she hadn’t even thought to offer Long Fei a change of clothes.

From the kitchen, Father Lin and Mother Lin walked out, looking at Long Fei with slight surprise, but then smiling at Lin Yingying, they said, "Yingying, aren’t you going to introduce him to everyone?"

Lin Yingying nodded repeatedly and, with a forced laugh, went over to pull Long Fei closer and introduced him to the group, "Dear uncles and aunts, this man right here is my betrothed, Long Fei. It’s his first visit to our home, so please excuse any faux pas he might make."

"Welcome!"

"Quite a nice young man!"

"Not bad, he and our Yingying do look like a matching couple!"

Although the relatives all smiled and offered their praises, internally, they looked down on him with disdain.

They knew that his betrothed was from a local village.

And sure enough, he looked like a complete bumpkin.

Who else would come to meet his future in-laws for the first time dressed in a security guard’s uniform?

Long Fei nodded to everyone in greeting, his fingers twitching before he gave Lin Yingying’s hand a squeeze.

Disinterested in their condescending glances, he hurriedly whispered into her ear, "Did you feed all my Bear Paws to the dogs?"

Lin Yingying, thinking he had something important to say, listened with a serious expression, which even startled her a bit.

She whispered back, "I didn’t feed any to the dogs. I just fed them your Crocodile Meat. The Bear Paws are still there! My parents saw them and even took one to cook, you’ll be able to eat it soon."

Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief and let her guide him to sit down on the sofa.

Elder Master Lin liked peace and quiet and was resting alone in the bedroom.

His body, still afflicted with a harmful energy, was weak, and he couldn’t sit outside for long.

Lin Shanshan went to call him and helped him walk out.

Everyone immediately quieted down, not daring to raise their voices in his presence.

Elder Master Lin put on his reading glasses and chuckled at the group of relatives and friends, "So everyone’s here!"

They all smiled and nodded in response, some even stood up to lend him a hand.

After the Elder Master sat down, he turned to Long Fei and greeted with a smile, "You see, I wanted some quiet, but their parents insisted on bringing all these relatives over. I guess everyone is eager to see if the old man’s judgment was right, isn’t that so?"

His joke made everyone laugh, thinking inwardly that his judgment indeed wasn’t all that great.

After all, Lin Yingying, effectively the steward of the Lin Family now, how could she choose such a man to be her husband?

An elderly auntie directly asked, "Elder Brother Lin, what does your granddaughter’s husband do for a living?"

"I genuinely don’t know that!"

Elder Master Lin chuckled.

Suddenly, someone bellowed, "What can he do? He’s just a security guard at the company!"

"A security guard?"

"Really a security guard?"

"Oh my, how could they find a security guard for Yingying!"

The room instantly erupted into commotion.

Everyone turned back and saw a middle-aged man stand up, staring at Long Fei with a face full of displeasure.

It was none other than Zheng Tuo, who had come over today with Zheng Lili, specifically to pick a fight.

Ever since Lin Yingying had relieved him of his position in the Human Resources Department, his wife had also divorced him.

Now, aside from a small number of shares, he had nothing left.

Zheng Lili felt somewhat embarrassed; Long Fei had rescued her last time, and she had always felt indebted to him.

She tried to pull her father away, ashamed to leave, but Zheng Tuo shoved her away and shouted at everyone, "All of you here are relatives and friends of the Lin Family. I, Zheng Tuo, won’t hide anything. This kid is cruel and scheming. Coming from the countryside, he intends to swallow up Lin’s Group’s assets. I advise you all to drive him away early on, or else the Lin’s Group will soon bear the name Long!"

Zheng Lili was close to tears as she hastily apologized to everyone, "Don’t listen to my dad, he’s drunk and talking nonsense!"

Everyone was whispering, eyeing Long Fei up and down.

"Zheng Tuo is right, this kid is definitely here to divide the property."

"Exactly, there are so many suitable matches. What’s gotten into the Elder Master, insisting on marrying his granddaughter to someone from the village?"

"Lin’s Group is in danger. At this rate, it will fall into their hands!"

The aunts in the room, all minor shareholders of the company, although not influential enough to sit on the board of directors, still had some rights.

Such matters were naturally orchestrated by someone.

That person was currently hiding on a couch at the side, snickering. He stared at Long Fei, tilting his head back in pride, thinking, "Stinky kid, just go back and stay in your poor backwater! Dreaming of entering the Lin Family’s door."

The only one it could be other than Lin Guohao, who had had his wife invite her little brother Zheng Tuo today for the sole purpose of causing trouble for Long Fei.

Although he knew it wouldn’t change a thing.

But he just wanted to see Long Fei embarrassed, to force Long Fei to retreat knowing the difficulty.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were in the kitchen stewing Bear Paw; they had nothing else to do until Lin Yingying brought this ingredient over.

Fearing that the cooking maid would ruin it, they took to the kitchen themselves.

Now, hearing the noise, they came out of the kitchen and asked everyone, "What’s going on, what’s all this?"

One of the more senior aunties directly questioned, "Yu Hui, is what Zheng Tuo said true? Is this kid just a security guard right now?"

A relative called out, "Guodong, do you and your wife know about this?"

"Elder Brother Lin, we should really reconsider this marriage! Yingying is, after all, our company’s President; how could she just marry anyone?"

"Yu Hui, even if you were looking for a pretty boy to freeload, you could’ve found someone handsomer! This security guard is so dark; what on earth are you all thinking?"

One person set the rhythm, and everyone started to give Long Fei a hard time.

Elder Master Lin remained calm, while Lin Shanshan wanted to flare up several times but was stopped by Lin Yingying.

The people present were all relatives within three generations; it was not good to freeze the relationship.

As Elder Master Lin sipped his tea, he eyed Long Fei, wanting to see how he would respond.

If Long Fei were to explode in anger and storm off,

Then he must have misjudged the man, as such temperament is doomed not to achieve greatness.
