Chapter 1696 - 1693: There Must Be Some Mistake?

Zhao Weitao and Liu Yuansi often flaunted their high status and wealth in front of Lin Tian. Actually, Lin Tian could have embarrassed them in front of Yun Xiaotian, but he didn’t want to waste time on them.

Saying this, Lin Tian was about to get back in the car to park it properly when Yun Xiaotian quickly stopped him, smiling, "Brother Lin, there’s no need for such trouble. Let Little Ya park it himself."

"Little Ya..." Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then understood. Little Ya is an artificial intelligence, capable of autonomous driving, so automatic parking should be a minor task too.

However, Lin Tian still wanted to see how Little Ya parked the car. He gave an instruction inside the car, "Little Ya, please park the car properly."

"Alright, Mr. Lin, see you next time." The melodious and pleasant voice of Little Ya sounded again. Then, several car windows slowly rose and closed automatically. The car then moved, slowly backing out and turning to the left.

Not far to the left was a special parking lot with few parking spaces, occupied by several Yun Family vehicles. Only special figures could drive directly to Yunquan Pavilion and park in this small parking lot.

Naturally, this special parking lot was designed to be very lush and didn’t spoil the environment around Yunquan Pavilion. The vines of passion fruit covered the car sheds, and being autumn, the vines were hanging with many fragrant passion fruits.

Passion fruit is a southern fruit, and Jinghua City gets cold early. It’s not easy for Yunquan Villa to cultivate passion fruit like this and bear so many fruits.

Little Ya parked quickly and precisely, taking only a few minutes to settle the car. However, next to several luxury cars, Lin Tian’s car seemed a bit out of place.

Lin Tian and his party turned with Little Ya and entered Yunquan Pavilion. Just as they stepped in, Zhao Weitao and Liu Yuansi arrived behind them.

"I think I saw Lin Tian. Was that Yun Shao talking with him?" Zhao Weitao frowned, puzzled. However, even he didn’t quite believe his words. To him, what qualifications did someone like Lin Tian have to know Yun Shao?

"Brother Zhao, I think Lin Tian has made you hallucinate. Lin Tian and Yun Shao? They are worlds apart and would never cross paths in a million years." Liu Yuansi patted Zhao Weitao’s shoulder, laughing.

As he was about to enter Yunquan Pavilion, out of the corner of his eye, Liu Yuansi noticed Lin Tian’s car parked beside several luxury cars, which puzzled him to no end.

"What’s going on? Lin Tian actually parked his car here. Is he crazy?" Liu Yuansi looked shocked, and Zhao Weitao noticed Lin Tian’s car too. The two exchanged glances, showing schadenfreude on their faces.

Zhao Weitao waved over. The security guard on duty was a young man who approached them out of courtesy.

"Brother, what’s with that car? What kind of bumpkin is so inconsiderate as to take these spaces? I suggest you find someone to move the car out of here before your manager sees it and gets upset." Zhao Weitao suggested kindly.

The young security guard looked at Lin Tian’s car, then at Zhao Weitao, and said seriously, "Sir, the car is parked correctly."

"Parked correctly?" Zhao Weitao was stunned. Liu Yuansi was even more so: "Someone like him, with a car like that, parked here? It must be a mistake."

"Sir, there must be some misunderstanding. If you have any questions, you can ask our Mr. Zhuang. I’m sorry, but I have other duties to attend to. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first." The young security guard remained polite but firm, leaving an impression on the two men.

After the young security guard left, Zhao Weitao and Liu Yuansi stood there, still bewildered.

"What’s going on?" Liu Yuansi looked confused.

"I don’t know either." Zhao Weitao was equally baffled.

Lin Tian and his party walked into the first-floor hall. The structure was similar to that during the last auction, with a small hall on the second floor and stairs leading up the middle.

"Brother Lin, the reception will be on the first floor later, but Grandpa, Dad, and some family members are on the second floor. Would you like to come up with me?" Yun Xiaotian asked.

Lin Tian shook his head, smiling, "No need. Those old families probably don’t want to see me, and I don’t want to see them either. Why go up and make everyone uncomfortable?"

Last time at the Yunhua Commerce, Lin Tian caused a commotion, putting the Shen Family, Qian Family, and several other families to shame, thoroughly offending them. Meeting them again would surely result in unfriendly faces. Even with the Yun Family’s presence, those old timers would definitely smile with knives hidden beneath.

Yun Xiaotian understood Lin Tian’s character, knowing he doesn’t pretend. So he didn’t insist, simply saying, "The reason for this reception is someone in our family is celebrating a birthday. You know how in big families, birthday celebrations often become social events. I’m not overly fond of these either."

"I understand. Sometimes even marriages aren’t free, let alone a birthday." Lin Tian chuckled, not caring much. A birthday party turning into a reception, a marriage becoming an alliance, often maintains cooperation and alliances among large families.

"I’ll go tell Mom. She’ll be delighted to know you’re here." Yun Xiaotian said happily.

"Isn’t Aunt Wang here?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

Yun Xiaotian shook his head, saying, "She is, but Mom isn’t fond of such social events. She said she’d rather read a few more books and found a quiet place to do so. But if she knows you’re here, she’ll surely come over. Anyway, I’ll go make a call."

Saying this, he hurried to the back, leaving Lin Tian feeling helpless, but he understood Yun Xiaotian’s words. Wang Wanxi, as an Innate Expert, was extraordinary, akin to a fairy from the Nine Heavens to these worldly people living in their drunken dreams.

An Innate Expert, a goddess-like figure, how could she fraternize with these businessmen with forced smiles?

"Let’s find a place to sit. The crowd is increasing, and in half an hour, things will likely get lively." Lin Tian glanced around the hall, noting groups of people, though the familiar faces from the big families weren’t visible yet.

Finding an inconspicuous corner, the four of them sat down on a comfortable sofa. The hall had many similar private rest areas, but the main characters of the reception occupied the central area.

"Lin Tian, what’s your story? How are you so familiar with Yun Shao?" As soon as they sat down, He Xiaofei couldn’t resist asking, baffled by Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian’s conversation earlier.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, chuckling, "I don’t have any big story, just helped the Yun Family a bit before, and over time, we got familiar."

"A little help? That doesn’t seem right. Even Yun Shao calls you Brother Lin. However, this Yun Shao is different from typical heirs, quite amiable and approachable." Zhong Ling interjected.
