Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 840 The House Is Too Small

Seeing that Dian Lu has left, Qian Yong gets flustered.

“Well... Bao, I won’t get down. Can I make a call?” Qian Yong ventures to ask.

Bao laughs and says, “This is your own business. I won’t interfere in it.”

Seeing that Qian Yong really takes out his phone, Bao heaves a sigh.

Qian Yong is really such a fool.

Hasn’t he seen through the situation by now?

Having thought back and forth, he says, “If you want to drag your grandpa into this, just call him then.”

With his face turning pale, Qian Yong subconsciously hangs up.

“Bao, who on earth is that man?” Qian Yong can’t help asking, “Even if he is some big shot, I should at least know who he is.”

Bao grinds his cigarette into the ashtray and then thinks for a while, saying, “Don’t ask who he is. If you don’t know, you can still be alive. On the contrary, if you do, you will be committing an offense knowingly.”

Qian Yong draws his neck back in fear and understands what Bao implies at once. He hastens to wave his hand, “Then I had better stay ignorant...”

Bao lets out a sigh of relief.

It appears that Qian Yong is not too stupid.

He finally understands something!

In the Gao Family’s house.

Meng Jing’s parents are also here.

“You are so heartless. You haven’t been back for so long. Now that you are back, you just come to the Gao Ge’s home at once. What an ungrateful soul!” Mrs. Meng scolds Meng Jing with red eyes.

Mr. Meng stands aside and doesn’t know what to say. He only stands there, gazing at his daughter with a happy smile on his face.

“Ahem. Yun, go and cook some dishes for us. We’ve got so many people here today. Make some more dishes!” Gao Ming says to Song Yun in a hurry.

“Okay. I’ll leave you chatting. By the way, Gao Ge, sit down now. Mr. Meng has something to tell you.”

“Okay.” Gao Ge looks at Mr. Meng suspiciously and has no idea what the latter wants to say to him.

Mr. Meng sits by the table and looks at the leather belt Gao Ge bought for him, saying with a sigh, “Gao Ge, I know you’ve made some money but you can’t squander it randomly. I know this brand. This must cost a few thousand.”

“Haha. More or less,” Gao Ge says grinningly, “The Spring Festival is around the corner. We ordinary people should enjoy a few good things a bit, right? I won’t buy them again.”

“Good.” Mr. Meng nods with satisfaction.

As the future father-in-law of Gao Ge, he feels that this son-in-law is somewhat obedient.

He tends to like this son-in-law even more.

After all, he watches Gao Ge grow up. He kind of knows Gao Ge’s background and character through and through. As an outsider, he can learn more than Gao Ming and Song Yun.

As such, even though Gao Ge had poor academic performance in high school and Meng Jing was a top student, he has never meant to stop them from seeing each other.

In his heart, he has been for them to be together.

“Pal, how about playing Chinese chess with me?” Gao Ming has taken Chinese chess over.

“Sure! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?” Mr. Meng snorts. The two of them quickly start playing Chinese chess.

Gao Ge sits aside and still wonders what Mr. Meng intends to say to him.

Mrs. Meng and Meng Jing are talking in secret. Gao Ge finds that Meng Jing has blushed and also taken a glance at him with complicated eyes.

Actually, if Gao Ge really wanted to, he can have heard what Mrs. Meng and Meng Jing talked about in secret. However, Meng Jing finally gets to meet her mother now. It is perfectly normal that they want to have a word. Of course he cannot eavesdrop on them.

“Gao Ge, you are not young, aren’t you?” Mr. Meng moves the piece of cannon and says to Gao Ge.

“Well...” Gao Ge suddenly doesn’t know how to respond to Mr. Meng, “Uncle, I’m 20 years old only.”

Mr. Meng pulls a long face.

Yeah.

Mr. Meng almost forgets that considering Gao Ge’s age, he should have been a college student by now though he has graduated.

Mr. Meng feels so irritated.

“Ahem. Just say yes to whatever Mr. Meng says. Don’t talk nonsense.” Gao Ming takes a glance at this silly son and sighs inwardly. Gao Ge is so much like him. Back then, he knew that his father-in-law loved pot plants. Hence, when he met the latter for the first time, he just brought a plant and believed that could please his father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law flew off the handle directly and pointed fingers at him.

“What’s your problem? I like green plants. I like pot plants. Why do you give me a cactus? Yes, I’ve failed to raise a lot of plants but what does it have to do with you? How dare you give me a cactus to humiliate me? Do you think I can only raise this kind of plant?”

That scene is still vivid in his mind.

“Gao Ge, you and Jing have been together for some time,” Mr. Meng says, “You’ve grown up since childhood. Actually, I also think it is a good thing that you two are together. My wife and I have no problem with this. However, since you two have graduated, your relationship should be finalized then. It is too early for you to get married now but you two can be engaged. What do you think?”

Gao Ge thinks about it. No wonder Meng Jing blushed a bit just now. Mrs. Meng must have told her about this too.

“Of course I’m fine with it. As long as you and Jing agree, surely I have no problem with it,” Gao Ge hastens to say.

Mr. Meng finally cracks a smile and seems to be very satisfied with Gao Ge’s reaction.

“Dad, I think it is too early for us to be engaged. We can wait a bit longer!” Meng Jing says.

“What are you talking about?” Mr. Meng frowns and casts an unsatisfied glance at Meng Jing.

Meng Jing winks at Gao Ge. He knows that Meng Jing has no problem with being engaged to him but she is worried that Xia Lu may be sad about learning this matter.

Luckily, the doorbell suddenly rings.

“Erk? Who is that?” Gao Ming stands up and walks to the door in confusion. It has been a while since they lived in the Dragon Court Compound. They may go out occasionally but they don’t know anyone here. Hence, they never mean to talk with others intimately. Neither do any neighbors come to visit them.

Some people may send some necessities and supplements to them only.

After opening the door, Gao Ming is shocked.

“Who are you?” Gao Ming blinks and counts the people. Surprisingly, he finds that more than ten people are standing at the door.

Are they here to pick up a fight?

Gao Ming is freaked out.

“Ahem. You must be Gao Ge’s father. I’m here to meet Gao Ge,” Dian Lu at the door hastens to say.

An old man behind Dian Lu slaps the head of Dian Lu.

“Apologize first.”

With a woebegone look, Dian Lu can only give a bow.

“Uncle Gao, I’m here to apologize to Gao Ge.”

Gao Ming turns around to look at Gao Ge with confused eyes.

Gao Ge picks up the teacup and has a sip, saying calmly, “The house is too small for so many people.”

The old man immediately takes the hint and hastens to turn around to say to the several middle-aged men behind, “You all wait outside. Lu, come inside with me!”

“Yes...” Dian Lu hangs his head in fear and follows the old man into the Gao Family’s house.
