I’m Really Not a Big Shot - Chapter 232
[Chapter 224 Calmly resolve]
“I am Mengyao’s biological aunt. I must stick to the bottom line and expose the nature of this kid’s scumbag.”
Dong Lan took a deep breath and forcibly discarded this tempting thought in his mind.
Her eyes gradually became firm and cold.
“Why didn’t Mengyao come out?”
Luo Liang asked in confusion after drinking the tea in the cup.
“Meng Yao is not feeling well. It is not convenient to see guests today.”
Dong Lan said expressionlessly.
Feeling unwell?
Luo Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, naturally knowing that this was Dong Lan’s excuse.
Since Dong Mengyao knew she was coming, she shouldn’t have failed to show up.
Think of the scene when Mengyao answered the phone last night.
The voice was full of tenderness and helplessness, and the word “grounded” was also mentioned at that time.
Luo Liang suddenly became angry.
In order to prevent the two from interacting, the Dong family may have restricted Mengyao’s personal freedom.
“I want to see Mengyao.”
Luo Liang’s tone increased, but he did not hide the displeasure on his face.
“I saw her two days ago. I don’t think she is suffering from any serious illness, and we can’t even meet her, right?”
Dong Lan looked at him seriously and couldn’t help but laugh:
“This is the ancestral home of the Dong family, so be careful what you say.”
“We The marriage of the children of the Dong family has always been decided by the elders. You are just an ordinary male classmate of Mengyao, and you cannot enter the boudoir of your daughter’s house casually. “
In an instant.
The two people in the hall were facing each other tit for tat, their tone full of gunpowder.
Luo Liang sneered, seeing that Dong Lan was deliberately making things difficult. As an elder, the other party denied his identity as “boyfriend” and prevented him from meeting Mengyao.
Luo Liang knew that there was no point in arguing and reasoning.
He quietly sent the little squirrel to sneak into the depths of the mansion to find Dong Mengyao’s whereabouts.
The little squirrel remembered Dong Mengyao’s body fragrance, so it was not difficult to find the location.
“Oh, what age are we in, where the marriage of children is decided by the elders? I am Mengyao’s boyfriend, and I don’t need your approval.”
Luo Liang took the opportunity to ridicule, attracting firepower, and covering for the little squirrel.
He vaguely sensed that there was a powerful aura in the Dong family’s ancestral house, silently paying attention to him.
“This is the rule of our Xiuzhen Dong family.”
Dong Lan said indifferently.
What she said was not entirely perfunctory.
The Dong family is a small cultivating family, and a great cultivator was born in their ancestors, who is also the founder of the Dong family. Because he entered the power of the human clan, his reputation in the Free Federation was not prominent.
Thousands of years later.
Although the Dong family has declined, many of the framework rules have been inherited from the generation of the ancestors of the Dong family.
For example, the Dong family’s semi-reclusive principle.
Most of the core members of the Dong family are descendants of the ancestor’s scattered blood, and possess the talents of cultivators.
Those core children have been raised by their families since childhood, and their elders do have a greater say in marriage decisions.
On the one hand, there is the semi-reclusive Dong family, which has certain elements of a feudal family.
The other is to avoid the loss of core bloodline.
The Dong family has a high proportion of internal unions (out of three servers), and the elders in the family are also happy to do so.
That’s why.
Dong Hanqing will have some “unreasonable thoughts” about Dong Mengyao, who is six or seven years younger than him.
Luo Liang didn’t know what was going on here.
“Haha, can the Dong family’s rules be greater than federal laws?”
Luo Liang laughed, his tone a little unkind.
Dong Lan’s expression changed slightly.
Luo Liang is on the line and gets a thumbs-up.
She didn’t dare to speak out about violating federal laws. The Dong family was just a small cultivation family.
Right now.
The little squirrel found Dong Mengyao in a bedroom of Dong’s house.
Dong Mengyao was imprisoned with super powers, and the door was locked, unable to get out.
Her face was a little haggard, her body was weak, she was biting her red lips, with a look of helplessness and anxiety on her face.
Luo Liang angrily shouted: “Your Dong family illegally restricts the personal freedom of your adult children. Believe it or not, I will call the police.”
“Call the police?”
The Dong family members in the courtyard outside the hall were all alarmed.
In fact.
Dong Xiaoyue and several other younger generations were hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on the conversation inside, knowing exactly what was happening inside.
Everyone in the Dong family was shocked when they heard that Luo Liang wanted to “call the police.”
“Presumptuous!”
Dong Lan’s face was livid, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In a sense, Luo Liang wanted to call the police and gain the upper hand legally.
Dong Mengyao is an adult in the legal sense (16 years of age under federal law), and the Dong family has no right to restrict her freedom.
Luo Liang first blamed him, saying that national law is greater than family law.
Later, they wanted to call the police and accuse the Dong family of illegal detention and restriction of personal freedom.
If it were an ordinary person, Dong Lan would only find it funny; super-powered families like theirs are slightly privileged in the interstellar era and cannot be measured by ordinary citizens.
However, Luo Liang is not an ordinary person.
As the manufacturer and seller of [Ningyulu], Luojiang Company is about to become an industry giant, and it must have strong energy and connections in the Tianlan Star official.
“I really want to call the police. I know a few cadres in the Super Energy Bureau…”
Luo Liang smiled half-heartedly and raised his smart watch.
“Stop!”
Dong Lan became angry and started to use magic power in his palms to stop him.
Once Luo Liang calls the police or even calls someone from the Super Energy Bureau, it will only be the Dong family that will be embarrassed.
This made Dong Lan very passive and unreasonable.
It was she who took action on her own initiative and quietly restricted Dong Mengyao’s personal freedom.
Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other, they almost started to fight.
“Classmate Luo! I’m sorry, I’m late…”
came an ethereal and graceful girl’s voice.
Dong Mengyao’s clear eyes flashed with tears, and she walked into the hall lightly and quickly with surprise on her face.
“Mengyao, how did you get out?”
Dong Lan opened his eyes wide and saw Dong Mengyao who had regained his freedom.
On the shoulder of this fairy girl, there was a cute little squirrel, which bared its teeth at Dong Lan and made a face.
“Auntie, how could you do this?”
Dong Mengyao looked dissatisfied and said angrily.
“I’m not helping you test that boy…”
Dong Lan was frightened and angry, her face turned red.
This niece, who had an elegant temperament, blamed her for the first time in her life.
For an outsider?
“Even if it is a test, taking such extreme measures is a bit excessive.”
Several members of the Dong family outside the door murmured in a low voice.
Maybe he accepted Luo Liang’s favor, or maybe he really felt that Dong Lan’s behavior was a bit extreme and said something fair.
“This is not a test, you are just making trouble with no basis after you concluded that I am a scumbag.”
Luo Liang sneered.
“You…”
This sentence hit the nail on the head, and Dong Lan’s face turned green and red.
Dong Lan indeed deliberately made things difficult and wanted to break up Luo Liang and Dong Mengyao.
The so-called test is just a way to deceive Mengyao.
“Nonsense! Disgraceful!”
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in his ears.
It was as if there was a mountain oppressing the entire hall.
Everyone present felt flustered and stuffy, and their breathing seemed erratic.
“Grandpa Dong!”
A white-haired old man in civilian clothes walked in. The members of the Dong family outside came to greet him respectfully.
Dong Mengyao called “Grandpa” softly.
“Dad…” Dong Lan looked guilty.
Luo Liang looked at the white-haired old man, slightly surprised.
The trace of power that Mr. Dong exuded just now demonstrated his level 4-zhenguo level coercion.
However, Luo Liang felt that Mr. Dong’s vitality was not as strong as that of other towns and states.
There seems to be a sense of decay and weakness.
“Are you Luo Liang? What a terrifying young man.”
Mr. Dong looked at Luo Liang with his cloudy eyes.
Although Mr. Dong restrained his aura, the gaze of the powerful man in the country had the power to shock the mind.
“Grandpa Dong laughed. He was a little abrupt just now in a hurry.”
Luo Liang said politely.
He didn’t think that Mr. Dong could see the details of his true cultivation.
As his cultivation level increases, Luo Liang’s concealment techniques go hand in hand. Only people who surpass his two realms can see through them normally.
Mr. Dong should be referring to Luo Liang’s remarks about calling the police just now, and the method he used to let the little squirrel unlock Dong Mengyao’s restrictions.
The former reflects Luo Liang’s family background and official influence.
The latter is a demonstration of Luo Liang’s personal strength.
In the Dong family’s territory, Dong Mengyao’s predicament could be solved without anyone noticing, which is probably not possible at the level 3 city-state level.
Mr. Dong waved everyone away.
In the hall, only Luo Liang, Dong Mengyao and Dong Lan were left.
The host and guest took their seats again.
Mr. Dong was calm and chatted with Luo Liang.
“What’s the relationship between Luojiang Company and you?”
“Luojiang Company is a company run by my mother, and I personally have contributed a lot.”
Luo Liang said calmly.
Dong Lan on the side almost laughed out loud.
He really knows how to put gold on his face.
Luo Jiang Company is powerful and has a mysterious background, and it has mastered the formula of [Ningyulu], a magical semi-spiritual medicine.
She didn’t think that Luo Liang, a freshman, could play an important role.
“I heard that Luojiang Company signed a contract with the ‘King of Korean Medicine’ group company?”
Mr. Dong said with great interest.
“Yes, Luo Jiang Company has signed a contract with the King of Medicine, and it is currently limited to Tianlan Star.”
Luo Liang did not deny it.
Mr. Dong’s eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and did not ask Luo Liang about his family affairs again.
After two questions and answers.
A wise person knows what he wants and knows where to go.
Subsequently.
Mr. Dong chatted about other topics, including humanities and history, the training of superpowers, and Luo Liang’s campus life.
Luo Liang responded calmly, neither being humble nor overbearing.
The expression on Mr. Dong’s face showed no emotion or anger.
Half an hour later.
Mr. Dong stopped chatting and asked one last question.
“Luo Liang, are you sure you can take Mengyao to participate in the ‘Medicine King Bath’?”
This white-haired old man at the national level locked his eyes on Luo Liang and completely controlled his expression changes and body movements.
“Yes.”
Luo Liang said only one word, calmly and confidently.
“Okay.”
Mr. Dong showed a smile for the first time.
“Mengyao, get ready and go to the Medicine King Bath with Luo Liang.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Dong Mengyao’s eyes were filled with brilliance, and she turned around and walked into the depths of the mansion, where she packed up and bowed.
A smile appeared on Luo Liang’s face. The real decision-maker of the Dong family was finally a sensible person.
“Dad…”
Dong Lan was a little anxious.
Her intuition told her that Luo Liang was a scumbag.
Luo Jiang Company does have a background, and maybe they can actually get an invitation letter for the Yaowang Bath.
However, it is already very impressive to get one invitation letter. It is possible to get two more.
Mr. Dong glared at Dong Lan.
He understood his daughter’s mood.
When Dong Lan was young, he had a sad past.
Back then, Dong Lan, like Dong Mengyao, fell in love freely with an outstanding man outside, regardless of family opposition.
Later, Dong Lan was dumped by that man and was deeply hurt.
Because she met unkind people when she was young, Dong Lan was very worried when she learned that her niece Mengyao had a boyfriend.
However, some of the information Mr. Dong had learned earlier from Ouyang Ding of Beichen College did not have a good opinion of Luo Liang.
Not to mention.
Luo Liang once sent a message asking Mengyao to go to Beihu Courtyard.
That time, Mr. Dong went straight to Tiandu City, obviously he was wary.
However, in the subsequent interactions between Luo Liang and Mengyao, everything was normal and there were no red flags.
Until recently, Luo Liang said that he would take Dong Mengyao to participate in the Medicine King Bath, which once again aroused the Dong family’s vigilance.
This was the scene where Dong Mengyao was banned and Dong Lan deliberately made things difficult.
……
after an hour.
Dong Mengyao packed her bags, and in a separate room, Mr. Dong and Dong Lan explained some things to her.
“Lan’er, don’t be so sullen. Mengyao’s participation in the ‘Medicine King’s Bath’ is a rare and great opportunity. It may change her path of cultivation and even affect the structure of my Dong family.”
Mr. Dong instructed.
He didn’t say a word.
The Luo Liang family has such a strong background and strength that they can let Dong Mengyao participate in the Medicine King Bath. When Mengyao is promoted to the foundation building stage (city-state level), even if he and Luo Liang are friends, it will not be a loss if something happens.
If the two can get married. The Dong family has benefited immensely from being on good terms with Yao Wang.
“Dad, if that boy can really take Mengyao to participate in the ‘Medicine King Bath’, I won’t say anything.”
Dong Lan said through the message.
“I just checked on the Internet. Each invitation letter for King Yao’s bath can only be entered by one person. That kid’s family is related to King Yao at most, and he is not a disciple or grandson of King Yao. He can get more than two Invitation letter.”
Dong Lan analyzed rationally.
He suspected that Luo Liang had at most an invitation letter and used this as a gimmick to get Mengyao.
After hearing this analysis, Mr. Dong fell into thinking.
“What do you want to do?”
“It’s very simple. I’ll ask Luo Liang to show him the invitation letter for the King’s Bath. If he can’t produce two, or it’s a forgery, his true colors will be revealed.”
Dong Lan’s mouth curled up with an arc. Wire.
“Yes. I know an old immortal who was lucky enough to participate in the Medicine King’s bath when he was young and has friendship with the Medicine King’s disciples. I can ask him to assist remotely and verify the authenticity of the invitation.”
Mr. Dong nodded.
It’s not too much to ask Luo Liang to show him the invitation letter for the drugged king’s bath.
Even if Luo Liang is unhappy.
Anyway, let Dong Lan be the villain.
…
after a while.
Dong Mengyao came out and looked at Luo Liang and smiled.
Mr. Dong, Dong Lan, and a group of young disciples of the Dong family saw each other off together.
Among the crowd, Dong Hanqing showed a trace of jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.
Dong Mengyao and Luo Liang walked out of the Dong family courtyard side by side.
The speed car stopped outside the gate of Dong Family Courtyard.
“Luo Liang, none of us in the Dong family’s ancestral home have participated in the ‘Medicine King Bath’. We have only heard rumors and admired it for a long time. We don’t even know what the invitation letter looks like.”
Dong Lan said with a smile.
“Can you take out the invitation letter for the Medicine King Bath and show it to us to gain some insight?”
