In the end, won't you still have to ask me to step in and help you?
You must be very touched right now!
Xiao Tianze was secretly pleased as he waited for the elevator.
He had even started fantasizing about whether Luo Linshuang would rush into his arms the moment she saw him.
If she really does that, should I choose to play hard to get or go along with it?
"Hahahahaha..."
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After leaving Luoshi Building Materials, Xiao Tianze did not take a taxi, but instead walked to the bus stop a kilometer away.
His current persona is that of a recently discharged soldier, so he can't show too much money to avoid arousing suspicion.
So he waited for the bus, put in the fare, and got on the bus...
All his actions were so natural and fluid, as if he were truly in dire straits.
Xiao Tianze was very satisfied with his acting skills.
An hour later, he finally arrived at the gate of the Luo family villa.
"Excuse me, sir, is this the Luo family's residence?"
Xiao Tianze greeted the butler, who was trimming the garden, from outside the iron gate, giving him what he thought was a polite smile.
Upon seeing a stranger, the butler immediately became wary and asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm a friend of your Luo family's eldest daughter. My name is Xiao Tianze."
Xiao Tianze said with a smug look, "Please go and inform Lin Shuang that Xiao Tianze has come. She will surely let me in."
"Oh... then wait a moment."
Upon hearing that the young lady was a friend, the butler dared not be negligent.
He hurriedly walked into the villa's hall and said to the four members of the family who were sitting on the sofa, "Master, Madam, Eldest Miss, Second Miss, a young man has come from outside. He says his name is Xiao Tianze and he is a friend of the Eldest Miss."
"Ok?"
All four of them immediately turned their attention to this direction.
The butler immediately shrank back in fright, thinking to himself, "Have I been tricked?"
"Ye Tianze? What's he doing here? Don't see him! Tell him to get lost!"
Luo Chengjun waved his hand and said, "That idiot is like a leech, you can't shake him off!"
The butler nodded obsequiously and prepared to leave.
Chapter 297: Xiao Tianze Arrives
At this moment, Luo Linshuang suddenly spoke up, "Forget it, just let him in and ask him what he wants..."
"Lin Shuang, you're just too soft-hearted and kind!"
Luo Chengjun said with exasperation, "With that brat's character, what good will he do cling to you? He's always doing nothing productive. I think he just wants to live off the Luo family and your money!"
"Dad, no, Xiao Tianze is my friend."
Luo Linshuang quickly defended herself to Luo Chengjun, saying, "Besides, I have no feelings for him at all, and I'm all grown up now, I can protect myself."
"Hey!"
Luo Chengjun felt he couldn't persuade him, so he shook his head and could only bring up He Qinzhou: "But you need to think carefully. Your relationship with He Qinzhou is so delicate right now. He's coming over for dinner later. If he sees you two together like this, what do you think He Qinzhou will think?"
"Don't worry, Dad, Qinzhou also knows about Xiao Tianze's existence."
Luo Linshuang smiled sweetly and comforted her, "Besides, Qinzhou isn't as stingy as you think."
"This really isn't a matter of being stingy or not..."
Luo Chengjun was at his wit's end, so he simply stopped trying to persuade him.
His plan was simply to let the kid in, so he could take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
It would be best if he ran into He Qinzhou later, that way...
If that guy named Xiao Tianze knew that Lin Shuang had such an outstanding suitor, he would probably back down.
"Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore."
Having figured this out, Luo Chengjun sighed and said to the butler, "Let him in!"
Before long, Xiao Tianze, who had been waiting impatiently outside the door, arrived here with the steward.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Xiao Tianze smiled warmly, his face radiating confidence and politeness.
But soon, his smile vanished...
He discovered that, apart from the second daughter of the Luo family, even Luo Linshuang seemed indifferent to him!
How is this going?
Xiao Tianze was a little confused, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.
He could only hint at it indirectly: "Lin Shuang, how's that project at the company going? Is it finished?"
"Well, all right."
Xiao Tianze maintained his smile and said, "That's good. I thought they were lying to me. I even went around asking around for help..."
"Humph!"
Luo Chengjun snorted coldly, his disgust and disdain for Xiao Tianze deepening even further.
Asking for help through connections?
Ha, so this kid came here to claim credit?
Didn't he know that He Qinzhou had handled this matter?
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Tianze quickly feigned concern and inquired.
Luo Chengjun said with a forced smile, "No, but kid, let me remind you, this is the Luo family home. I'm not familiar with you, so don't keep calling me 'Uncle,' lest others misunderstand."
"Uh?"
Xiao Tianze was dumbfounded. Something's not right!
Why is this a little different from what he imagined?
Shouldn't they have given me a warm welcome?
"Hey kid, what are you doing here? If you're trying to curry favor, then don't say anything. You're shameless, we'd rather be embarrassed!"
Luo's mother looked disdainful, her eyes filled with malice as she openly mocked Xiao Tianze.
Luo Linshuang was already very unhappy about her transformation from a pheasant to a phoenix, but now some random person dares to come to their house and boss them around, as if they are the Luo family.
Is this the wet market?
Although the Luo family isn't exactly a wealthy or noble family, it's not a place where just anyone can come!
"Auntie, is there some misunderstanding between you?"
Xiao Tianze's face also fell.
When has he, a dignified War God of the First Realm, ever suffered such humiliation?
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Linshuang was born into the Luo family, he would have arranged for people to wipe out the entire Luo family!
You really don't know what's good for you!
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could we possibly have with you? Xiao Tianze, right? Let me tell you, Lin Shuang is going to marry into the He family. There's absolutely no way you and Lin Shuang can be together. I advise you to stop dreaming. You should use this time to find a factory to screw in screws!"
Luo's mother spoke with utter contempt, and her words infuriated Xiao Tianze, causing his murderous intent to surge.
“My wife is right. Don’t waste your time here, and don’t expect any reward from us. We have surveillance cameras at the entrance of Lin Shuang’s office. You’ve been sitting there all afternoon eating sunflower seeds and spacing out. Do you really think we can’t see it?”
Luo Chengjun continued to deliver the finishing blows without any mercy.
He paused, then continued with disgust, "How dare you say you ran around asking for favors and connections everywhere?"
"I've only seen you make three phone calls in total. Don't tell me you managed to get the chairman of Changyuan International to come to my door in person with just three phone calls!!"
"I……"
Xiao Tianze was so angry that he almost ground his back teeth to powder!
"What do you mean, 'you'? Look at He Qinzhou. He's more handsome than you, younger than you, and richer than you. He's successful in his career, humble, and genuinely kind to Lin Shuang. He's helped our Luo family so much, yet he never once thought of asking for anything in return."
"It was Lin Shuang herself who had to call and invite him over for dinner to express her gratitude. Look at yourself, don't you know what kind of person you are?"
Luo Chengjun's words became increasingly vicious.
Xiao Tianze was so angry that he took several deep breaths before he finally managed to suppress his anger.
Even though he didn't say a word, Luo's mother had no intention of letting him go.
After Luo's father finished speaking, it was Luo's mother's turn to continue. She bombarded Xiao Tianze with vicious words, as if Xiao Tianze were truly a heinous, unforgivable, and utterly wicked person.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tianze really had no way to refute them...
He knew perfectly well that Luo Linshuang felt extremely disgusted with the Southern Border War Zone because they had broken into the He family villa and injured He Qinzhou's father.
If he were to reveal his identity as the God of War of the Southern Territory now, although he would get his revenge, he would also lose the love of his life that he believes he has found true love!
This is something he absolutely cannot accept!
Thinking this way, although Luo's parents' words were extremely harsh, he didn't find them so unacceptable...
"You little brat, we've insulted you like this, and you still have the nerve to stay here."
After cursing for a while, Luo Chengjun saw that although Xiao Tianze was angry at first, he was completely unmoved later and continued to stay there shamelessly. He couldn't help but laugh in anger.
I never imagined someone could be so shameless; it's truly an eye-opening experience!
In some ways, he is indeed a rare talent...
Chapter 298: Meeting
"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Uncle."
Xiao Tianze's lips twitched, but he could only force himself to thank him in a low voice.
The hatred in his heart for He Qinzhou reached its peak...
"I need to find a chance to let Xuanwu teach him a lesson again, otherwise I'm afraid I'll suffer internal injuries from holding this grudge!"
He kept reassuring himself that gaining Luo Chengjun's recognition and praise was a crucial step forward.
Next, all we need to do is gradually change their perception of us.
One day!
They will surely be moved by their own sincerity!
At that time, he can reveal his identity as the God of War, and all misunderstandings will be completely cleared up. He can also get some satisfaction out of it...
If Luo Chengjun knew what Xiao Tianze was really thinking, he would definitely curse him out.
Are you fucking an idiot?
Didn't you realize I was mocking you?
You're still holding back and praising me? You're really shameless.
"Alright, your shamelessness has impressed me. Since that's the case, why don't you stay for a meal later? He Qinzhou is coming over soon, so let the two of you get to know each other and hopefully make you give up on him!"
Luo Chengjun made his decision with a cold smile.
This Xiao Tianze!
You can't drive them away by scolding.
Fighting...fighting probably won't work either.
This would make the Luo family seem barbaric and leave a bad impression on He Qinzhou.
Since he's so ungrateful and stubborn, let him meet He Qinzhou and make him understand the difference between them.
