420 Ch 420 - Who the Hell is Yino?!
Ch 420 - Who the Hell is Yino?!
Yino, whose arm was linked by the girl beside him, also smiled when her words fell. He first swept the seated crowd with cold eyes, then turned to look at Liu Yuliang and cupped his hands in a humble bow.
"Uncle Yuliang, we haven't seen each other for ten years. You haven't aged a bit."
"Who the hell is this guy?"
The same question floated almost simultaneously in the minds of both the Lin and Liu families when Yino appeared and chatted with Liu Yuliang about old times.
It was like some highly anticipated annual awards ceremony. The elders had imagined countless possibilities for Liu Ruoning's absence in their minds, but everyone at the table slammed their hands down and exclaimed when Ruoning returned to the Liu mansion with a man on her arm: Who the hell is Yino?!
Those who didn't recognize Yino were probably still buzzing with confusion.
But Liu Yuliang had deep memories of this young man named Yino, having taken Ruoning on business trips to Luo City ten years ago.
Ruoning had grown up as a spoiled young lady from childhood with a golden spoon in her mouth.
But the latter used his actions to completely shatter Liu Yuliang's stereotypical impression of his precious daughter after seven-year-old Ruoning met Yino that year.
It turned out the little princess who was coaxed and pampered at home could willingly become a little tagalong for a small boy at the He mansion.
It turned out the young lady who was picky and troublesome about food at home could eat street candy beans worth a few coins with great relish that a small boy fed her in Luo City.
Liu Yuliang had even personally witnessed his precious daughter hugging the boy's thigh at the He mansion, crying and shouting that she absolutely had to become his wife. The little girl would throw tantrums and roll around threatening to go on a hunger strike if the latter didn't agree. Yuliang had no choice but to ask He Chensheng to persuade his son to coax Ruoning in the end...
Liu Yuliang had even personally witnessed his talented precious daughter getting kicked by the boy into a flower pot on the martial arts stage, then bursting into tears like a little crybaby...
But Ruoning pursed her little lips and spread her arms to block the door, speaking up for Yino when Liu Yuliang was about to seek justice for his daughter, even though Yino bullied her so excessively.
Ruoning was still completely devoted to Yino and couldn't forget him after all these years.
Ruoning seemed to have her entire heart occupied ever since getting to know Yino, becoming sensitive to Yino name. She simply couldn't bear to hear others say bad things about Yino! Even her father and mother weren't allowed to speak badly of him. She'd get upset and start a fight after just a couple of words.
This was simply the most ridiculous thing Liu Yuliang had ever seen as a father!
Liu Yuliang was quite handsome when he was young too. How come no girl was ever so devoted to him?
Because of this, Liu Yuliang had always seriously suspected that that brat Yino had trained his then seven-year-old daughter like a little dog ten years ago.
Otherwise, none of this made any sense!
Liu Yuliang couldn't help but suck in a cold breath while thinking of this. As an old father, he actually doted on Ruoning quite a bit, but unfortunately the Lin mansion elders were all here today. Ruoning directly introducing her boyfriend was really making things too ugly. Now Liu Yuliang, as the Liu mansion's head, couldn't find an angle to smooth things over for his daughter even if he wanted to.
Bang!
Li Shauna sitting beside Liu Yuliang slammed the table and stood up at some point.
"Ruoning, I think you want to rebel against heaven!"
Li Shauna's attitude was much tougher than Liu Yuliang's as Ruoning's mother.
This wasn't strange. Li Shauna had married into the Liu mansion back then. The Li family had climbed up to the Liu family through their daughter and risen in status, so Li Shauna placed such importance on her daughter's future mate selection and matching social status years later when it was her turn to be a mother.
In a way, this truly validated that saying: boys are close to their mothers, girls are close to their fathers.
"Your father and I just told you this morning that the Lin mansion in-laws would be visiting as guests at tonight's banquet. What do you mean by bringing this questionable wild man home?!"
Shauna's stern and harsh voice fell, immediately making Ruoning tremble at the doorway. It was as if being glared at by her mother brought psychological shadows flooding back to her mind from childhood.
However, Yino had anticipated this. He openly pulled the girl into his arms in front of everyone to give her a sense of security, while also smiling faintly with some amusement:
"Aunty, aren't you being a bit hasty?"
"As I see it, the actual parties from the Lin mansion haven't said anything either, have they?"
Yino wasn't paying attention to Li Shauna's expression while saying this, but instead shifted his gaze to meet the eyes of the Lin mansion elders and even Lin Ze himself sitting on the other side of the banquet.
The former were just unimportant supporting characters after all, while Lin Ze was the truly valuable experience package.
"?"
The entire Lin family had iron-blue faces.
The gunpowder atmosphere in the room escalated to another level in just an instant because of Yino's deflection of conflict.
The Lin family elder had also mixed in the martial world for so many years, but young people as arrogant and reckless as Yino were something not to mention the Lin family elder, even all the Liu mansion elders present had never seen before.
This kid, was he crazy?
He was just an insignificant youngest son from the He mansion. He didn't really think he could swagger around in front of two other mansion families, did he?
No, who gave him such courage?
Not only did both families' elders wonder this in this situation, but Lin Ze, who was being stared at directly by Yino's cold gaze, was even more confused deep down.
