Chapter 587 - 583: Warmth
There’s a saying that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the person leaves, the tea cools down. As Lu Tianxing and his group left the Tan Family, the people who had been staying there suddenly dispersed in a clamor, rushing back to their own clans or companies to sever ties with the Tan Family as thoroughly and quickly as possible. The Tan Family was finished, thoroughly so. If they didn’t distance themselves quickly, what would happen if Lu Tianxing decided to settle accounts later?
In the hearts of these people, Lu Tianxing was a true Killing God, someone with tremendous clout. For the sake of a woman, he forcefully broke into the Tan Family, and with his own power, rendered them completely defenseless. He even relegated the Tan Family to being just a part of Hang City’s history.
In the chilling fear that everyone felt, there was also a sense of relief that they hadn’t displayed any extreme behavior before, nor had they spoken any sarcastic words. Otherwise, who knows whether Lu Tianxing would have spared them. At the same time, there was a sense of pity, pity for the Lin Family. They had squandered what could have been a meteoric rise. If Lu Tianxing had been there to support the Lin Family, it’s likely that in a very short time, they could have become the next Tan Family, and even more formidable and terrifying at that.
However, all of this was no longer Lu Tianxing’s concern. After returning to the small villa he started out in, with Nanny Huang’s grateful voice echoing, Lin Zhanpeng took Lu Tianxing into the study, while Lin Qianru and Cai Shuya went straight into the kitchen. They said that since today was a reunion between mother and daughter, and also the day that Lu Tianxing, the new son-in-law, was visiting, it was truly a double celebration. As the mother-in-law, she naturally wanted to showcase her cooking to welcome him.
Meanwhile, in the study on the second floor, Lin Zhanpeng and Lu Tianxing sat opposite each other.
Lin Zhanpeng was seated on the sofa with not a hint of a smile on his face. On the contrary, his expression was slightly solemn. He had discovered that his future son-in-law’s identity was mysteriously terrifying. Lu Tianxing was supported by military documents, a status definitely not ordinary. Not to mention the Lin Family, even the Tan Family might not have the clout to get such support, let alone have special forces come for them.
Of course, Lin Zhanpeng was not at all worried that Lu Tianxing harbored ulterior motives towards the Lin Family. After all, the Lin Family was weaker than the Tan Family; if the Tan Family had been reduced to ashes, it would be a mere hand lift for Lu Tianxing to do the same to the Lin Family. There was no need for him to covet the Lin Family’s assets.
What Lin Zhanpeng was truly concerned about was whether Lu Tianxing was just playing with Lin Qianru and then would kick her away. Ever since they left the Tan Family, he noticed that his daughter seemed to have hung her entire heart on Lu Tianxing. If Lu Tianxing was just playing with Lin Qianru and then discarded her, Lin Zhanpeng really didn’t know what she would do.
"Tianxing, can you tell me where you are from?" After a long pause, Lin Zhanpeng finally asked, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Tianxing.
"I’m from Modu, where Qian Ru and I work at the same company," Lu Tianxing said lightly.
Lu Tianxing was unconcerned with Lin Zhanpeng’s question. In his view, Lin Zhanpeng’s questioning was completely expected. After all, he was Lin Qianru’s boyfriend, and it was within reason for parents to worry about entrusting their daughter to the right person.
