Xia Zhenfeng pointed at Xia Yiwei and shot Lin Yu a "see what I mean" look.
"See that?"
"Now do you know why I called you out to talk alone?"
"She lies as naturally as eating and drinking, without even blinking an eye!"
"Tell me, what could I possibly get out of you with her around?"
Lin Yu listened awkwardly from the sidelines.
He had to admire Weiwei's psychological fortitude!
During her answer just now, her expression and tone were so natural that it didn't seem made up at all.
If she didn't do this often, she absolutely wouldn't have reached such a masterful level.
You really couldn't blame Xia Zhenfeng for being on guard against her.
Having lived together for so many years, Xia Zhenfeng had probably experienced things like this way too many times.
Xia Yiwei scratched her cheek and looked up at Lin Yu.
It was as if she was trying to find the right answer in his eyes.
Since they had been talking for so long and she wasn't present, she naturally had no idea how Lin Yu had answered.
Lin Yu chimed in,
"Weiwei, I told Uncle Xia the truth."
"I think it's better to be honest. You don't need to cover for me anymore."
Lin Yu took the responsibility upon himself, so at least it didn't sound like Xia Yiwei was intentionally making a mistake.
Hearing this.
Xia Yiwei put on a knowing yet annoyed look and said to Xia Zhenfeng,
"Dad, you can't blame me for not being straightforward."
"Being a hacker isn't exactly a proper job, cooped up at home all day."
"If I had just come out and said it, I was worried you'd have a bad first impression of Lin Yu, right?"
Xia Zhenfeng: "..."
Lin Yu: "..."
Seeing the two grown men freeze once again.
Xia Yiwei scratched her cheek again, looked up at Lin Yu, and whispered like a mosquito,
"Is hacker wrong too? What on earth did you tell him?"
Even though Xia Yiwei was the one lying, her words made Lin Yu's cheeks burn.
He lowered his head and said quietly,
"Weiwei, really, stop making things up. I've already confessed to Uncle Xia that I'm still in school."
Xia Yiwei looked at her dad: "..."
Xia Zhenfeng let out a long sigh and waved his hand, saying,
"Alright, alright. Isn't a college student even better? What's there to hide!"
"Wouldn't it be nice for the child to have a father with a good educational background in the future?"
"You'd better fix this habit of lying!"
Xia Yiwei shuddered all over: "!!!"
Her eyes unconsciously drifted toward the window.
Despite her usually strong mindset, she didn't dare make eye contact with Lin Yu right now.
Although she had previously hinted at a similar idea to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had only agreed verbally; they hadn't reached the point of informing the parents yet.
Her dad's mouth was just too fast!
She had only been gone for a little while, and both sides had already laid their cards on the table?
What Xia Yiwei was more worried about was Lin Yu's reaction...
Having dragged him onto this "ship" behind his back, wasn't there a possibility he might jump ship at any moment?
To her absolute surprise.
Before Xia Yiwei could feel anxious for too long.
Lin Yu actually patted her gently on the back and smiled sheepishly,
"Uncle Xia, I'm truly grateful that you aren't blaming me for being young and ignorant."
Xia Yiwei felt as if she had been enlightened; she instantly regained her energy!
Lin Yu's words held so much meaning!
Not only was he not angry at her for acting first and reporting later, but he was also being very cooperative.
Excited, Xia Yiwei linked her arm through Lin Yu's, deciding to quit while she was ahead and change the subject.
"Dad, stop making fun of us."
"How do you plan on dealing with Lei Siren?"
"Hmph! That bastard dared to gossip behind my back and call me a dirty rag!"
"Now, every time I see him, I want to rush up and punch him twice!"
Thank goodness Young Master Lei had attended today's dinner.
It allowed the "pregnancy incident" to be temporarily suppressed.
If they had kept talking about having a baby today, Lin Yu wouldn't have known how to walk out of the Xia family's door.
Maybe.
The wedding date would have been finalized right on the spot!
It had to be said.
A daughter truly knows her father best.
The subject was changed incredibly smoothly, directly shifting all of Xia Zhenfeng's attention to the matter regarding Lei Siren.
A serious expression reappeared on Xia Zhenfeng's face.
He furrowed his brows and said,
"Don't worry, sweetie. There will be a good show to watch in a bit."
"Today, not only am I going to teach that little bastard a lesson, but I'll also make sure he never dares to pester you again!"
"Someone else is coming over soon. You'll find out shortly!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
