Chapter 891: Drinking Tea
After quite a while, he finally realized the situation and glanced at the fifty thousand Euros in his hand, immediately returning to the finance office, instructing them to count and verify the amount, as no carelessness could be afforded...
Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er walked out of the store, and the three of them began another round of shopping. Having already purchased items related to the sofa, what was left were the bed and cabinet in the bedroom. They were equally careful with these purchases. Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao, who were meticulous in their selection, spared no detail. Meanwhile, Lin Feng, following behind the two women, found their occasional whispers and frequent laughter uplifting. Going out for shopping was meant to be relaxing, and as long as that goal was met, he was content.
Time flew quickly, and before they knew it, it was already noon. After a quick bite to eat, the three of them continued their shopping spree. The two women remained in high spirits, and Lin Feng naturally would not interrupt their enjoyment, instead, he followed quietly behind.
An entire afternoon passed by, and by the end of the day, they had essentially acquired all the furniture needed for the villa. In the evening, Lin Feng, feeling a bit of heartache for the fatigue of the two women from the day’s effort, decided to cheer up his family by taking them to the most famous night market in Yuegang. The previous exhaustion seemed to vanish as they strolled through the market, thrilled by the experience. They indulged in a variety of Yuegang’s local snacks before Lin Feng finally drove them back to the Shen Family’s mansion.
The next morning, Lin Feng let the two women go out without him, not following along. Firstly, all important items had been taken care of the day before, and that day they only needed to shop for home appliances and other miscellaneous items, so his presence wasn’t necessary. Secondly, Lin Feng wanted to have a good chat with Shen Yao’s father, Shen Tian. After greeting the two women in the morning and knowing that Lin Feng had matters to attend to, they did not insist and cheerfully went on their way.
After seeing the two women off, Lin Feng turned to Uncle Fu and said.
"Uncle Fu, Uncle Shen is in the house, isn’t he? I have some things to discuss with him." Lin Feng spoke indifferently, touching on what mattered most that day.
"Mr. Lin, the master is home. Please follow me, he’s in the study taking care of some affairs." Uncle Fu, who had lived long enough to understand the implications of Lin Feng sending the two women out alone, deduced that it meant Lin Feng wanted to have a serious talk with the master, Shen Tian. Uncle Fu felt this was appropriate, as Lin Feng had been with Miss Shen for quite some time, and it was fitting for him to speak with the master in detail. With this thought, Uncle Fu maintained a cheerful smile, simply responded to Lin Feng’s request, and then guided Lin Feng to see Shen Tian.
Not long after, Uncle Fu led Lin Feng to Shen Tian’s study, and they stopped at the door. Uncle Fu began to knock.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Who is it?" The voice of Shen Tian came from inside, as calm as a still well, without any hint of emotion.
"Master, it’s me, Afu. Mr. Lin Feng would like to see you," Uncle Fu respectfully replied from outside the door.
"Oh, let Lin Feng in." As soon as Shen Tian heard that Lin Feng was looking for him, he was very pleased. He put aside his work and immediately instructed Uncle Fu to let Lin Feng in. He, too, had wanted to have a face-to-face talk with Lin Feng, but seeing that Lin Feng had been quite busy, he had not pressed the matter, planning to wait until Lin Feng had some free time. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng would come to him that day, which truly delighted him.
"Mr. Lin, please go in. I’ll be attending to my own tasks," Uncle Fu nodded at Lin Feng, bowed slightly, and with that, he promptly left to attend to his own affairs. The conversation between Lin Feng and Shen Tian required no third party. Being an experienced steward, he understood the appropriateness of leaving them to their discussion.
Lin Feng said nothing, watched Uncle Fu leave, and then opened the door of the study and stepped in.
"Lin Feng, come, take a seat here." Shen Tian sat down on the reception sofa, speaking to Lin Feng with a broad smile. The more he looked at Lin Feng, the more he liked him. On the one hand, Lin Feng’s strength was formidable, and on the other hand, his character and abilities truly made him a dragon among men. It was a very good thing for his daughter to be with Lin Feng.
"Okay, Uncle Shen." Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and took a seat in the chair next to him. Spotting a full set of Kung Fu tea equipment on the table, Lin Feng didn’t greet further and directly began the process of making tea according to the Kung Fu tea ceremony. The conversation would likely be long, so it was more natural to chat while drinking tea.
"Lin Feng, you can also make Kung Fu tea, and you’re a master at it!" Shen Tian hadn’t paid much attention until he saw Lin Feng’s fluid tea-making process. In just a short while, the strong fragrance of the tea drifted out. He looked at Lin Feng with new admiration. He honestly hadn’t expected Lin Feng to possess this skill. As a tea ceremony master himself, he certainly recognized that Lin Feng’s level was definitely that of a grandmaster. This elevated Shen Tian’s opinion of Lin Feng even further.
Tea ceremony emphasizes the state of mind and cultivation of the heart. Without reaching a certain level, it’s impossible to infuse the soul into it, and Lin Feng had just done that, which truly surprised Shen Tian. He really wanted to know where Lin Feng had learned such tea ceremony skills, but later, he abandoned the idea because he knew there was nothing impossible about Lin Feng. Over the past period, Lin Feng had already proven this point.
"I have some understanding, Uncle Shen, please have some tea." Lin Feng answered Shen Tian simply, handing over a cup of the freshly brewed tea, gesturing for Shen Tian to have a taste.
"Right, Lin Feng, now that it’s just the two of us, let’s get straight to the point. Let’s speak openly about whatever it is you’ve come to discuss." Shen Tian took the cup of tea from Lin Feng and tasted it. The flavor was exceptional, but Shen Tian was more eager to know why Lin Feng had come to see him. The tea had been served, so it was time to talk about serious matters.
"Uncle Shen, I’m here to talk to you about Yaoyao. As you know, I have many women by my side, and I’m going to have an official wedding ceremony with Ding Wan’er. Therefore, future weddings with the other ladies can only be held in the form of a family banquet. I hope Uncle Shen can understand."
Lin Feng thought it over and felt that being upfront was the most appropriate way to approach this. In front of a business tycoon like Shen Tian, the simpler and more direct, the better. His daughter Shen Yao was already with him, and he was about to have a wedding ceremony. Although Shen Tian had already tacitly accepted all this, Lin Feng thought it was still necessary to say it, hoping Shen Tian would really understand his difficulties.
"I’ve thought this matter through already. To be honest, ever since you first appeared, I had already made clear all your affairs. It was then that I noticed your distinctiveness, which is why I later gave the nod to your relationship with my daughter. On one hand, your abilities are incredible, but what I admire is your unflappable and calm demeanor. Such a person can’t possibly lead a mediocre life and certainly is far superior to those young masters from Yuegang."
"In fact, the days that followed proved I was right about you. You really are a dragon among men. As I learned more about you, I became incredibly pleased. I never expected my daughter to have such good judgment and to bring home such a gem of a son-in-law. With you looking after Yaoyao, even if one day I’m no longer here, the Shen Family will be under your protection, and nothing will go wrong. As for the number of women by your side, that seems normal to me. If a person like you didn’t have a few women around, that would be peculiar."
"Regarding the matter of the family-banquet wedding, I can frankly mention that I did intend to talk to you about it before. I planned to have you marry my daughter in a proper and open ceremony, but I never anticipated that even the Leng Family from Capital City would recognize you, and the family-banquet wedding was already held. Upon hearing this, I then abandoned my previous thoughts. Later, I realized that those things are just formalities. As long as you treat my daughter well in the future, that’s better than anything else, don’t you think?"
Hearing Lin Feng speak, Shen Tian smiled faintly. He understood what Lin Feng was thinking; this was a request for his understanding and support. After pondering for a moment, Shen Tian shared the entire story in detail with Lin Feng and his specific thoughts. On one hand, he wanted to clarify his position to give Lin Feng peace of mind, and on the other hand, he wanted Lin Feng to know he had good intentions, hoping Lin Feng would treat his daughter well in the future. As long as his daughter lived happily, that was more important to Shen Tian than anything else.
As Shen Tian talked about the progression of events, he became increasingly amazed at Lin Feng. He was genuinely curious how Lin Feng had obtained such inconceivable abilities. Demonstrating such genius in one person would be apt, but the number of unfathomable skills Lin Feng possessed was now beyond description. Not to mention, Lin Feng was a Super Cultivator. With Lin Feng’s presence, the Shen Family would definitely rest without worry. This was what most put Shen Tian at ease.
Considering all this, Shen Tian decided to allow his daughter to follow Lin Feng, even without formal status. He had only this darling daughter and didn’t want anything to happen to her in the future. With a Super Powerhouse like Lin Feng around, his daughter’s safety was assured. Even if he were to close his eyes now, there would be no regrets, as he had nearly completed all the necessary arrangements.
"Thank you for your understanding, Uncle Shen. Rest assured, I treat Shen Yao and the other ladies all the same. I’m very fond of Shen Yao and will ensure her safety. If there’s ever a need in the future for the Shen Family, just give me the command. Whatever can be done, I will surely do it."
Hearing Shen Tian say this, Lin Feng’s heart finally settled down completely. He knew that if Shen Tian could speak in this way, it meant Shen Tian had truly accepted the outcome from the bottom of his heart. This way was better, saving him the trouble of having to convince Shen Tian otherwise, sparing him a lot of hassle. From this perspective, Lin Feng genuinely admired Shen Tian’s courage and insight. As a mega-tycoon, even before Lin Feng had shown his full potential, Shen Tian saw his hidden value and allowed Shen Yao to follow him. Such an action was not something ordinary people could undertake. The Shen Family’s status today was most certainly built on Shen Tian’s own accomplishments.
Catching Shen Tian’s implication, Lin Feng immediately gave his assurances. These words were actually his own thoughts, simply expressed out loud. His intentions for Shen Yao were the same as for the other ladies. Now that he had made Shen Yao his woman, her safety was naturally beyond question. If he could not ensure this, he would not be Lin Feng.
