Chapter 505: Chapter 502: Being Silly Can Be Inherited

"Mrs. Xiao, are you all looking at me like that because there’s something wrong with the clothes?" Lin Tian asked in surprise as he spread his hands and looked himself over.

The suit bore no labels and wasn’t purchased off-the-rack; it was bespoke, tailored perfectly to his size. Moreover, the material was as comfortable as casual wear, yet it maintained the formality of a full suit—undoubtedly, the fabric alone was costly.

Not to mention, the suit was tailored, which, these days, made such handcrafted items quite rare and desirable.

Lin Tian had never liked wearing suits because they felt too restrictive, but this formal attire surprisingly offered the comfort of leisurewear, a testament to the tailor’s exceptional skills.

This was precisely why wealthy individuals preferred custom-tailored clothes over off-the-rack options.

Moreover, Miss’s discernment was admirable. Without measuring him, she had known his size exactly—a testament to her prowess as a master of the sword, with precision down to the smallest detail.

The watch on his wrist, too, was of an indistinguishable brand, not marked in Chinese or English. It had a sober yet sporty style, very fitting for a young man.

In his entire ensemble, it was hard to tell whether the clothes complimented Lin Tian or Lin Tian enhanced the clothes. Miss’s aesthetic sense truly reached the level of an artist.

Given that Mrs. Xiao was slightly older, she was the first to recover and immediately offered a frank compliment, "Lin Tian, with your impressive appearance and noble demeanor, who knows how many girls will be smitten by you."

"You flatter me too much, Mrs. Xiao. Considering your elegant and unparalleled beauty and grace, if you had a son, he would surely be more handsome than me," Lin Tian said with a chuckle, teasing Mrs. Xiao playfully but then adding, "However, I believe that true beauty comes from within; one’s looks are natural, but the heart is cultivated."

"Lin Tian, with that silver tongue and appearance, you’re bound to be the downfall of many young ladies," Mrs. Xiao said with a laugh, though it was hard to tell whether the comment was a compliment or a critique.

"Mrs. Xiao, I’m just an honest man, usually quite low-key," Lin Tian replied modestly.

Xiao Manxuan laughed, her smile seeming to say, "You’re anything but low-key, always attracting admirers."

Upon hearing this, Miss gave him a stern look and snorted, "You’re really quite ’modest,’ huh."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss. Knowing my size without measuring is truly admirable. You’d undoubtedly make a virtuous wife. Suitable for both the hall and the kitchen, can fend off perverts and fight hooligans—this description perfectly fits a wonderful wife like Miss," Lin Tian teased unruffled, making full use of his thick-skinned nature.

He was surprised himself when he realized that Miss indeed met all these criteria. She could cook, although not exceptionally well, her looks and figure were top-notch—more than suitable for high society, equally fit for intimacy; her martial arts were strong as she was an Ancient Martial Artist, dealing with perverts and hooligans effortlessly—a really good choice for a wife.

"You... who’s your wife!" Miss blushed and her heart fluttered, somewhat at a loss for words, but still managed to scold, "You have your ways of deceiving girls, truly insincere."

"Ah..." Lin Tian suddenly sighed deeply.

All three women were surprised; had he been offended? Miss felt a bit guilty, wondering if her words had been too harsh.

After his sigh, Lin Tian said seriously, "Miss has seen right through the nature of people. When God gives life, they are pure at birth, but then they wear clothes, which I think represent the deceptive nature of humanity, not being true to the purity granted by God."

The three women were dumbfounded by Lin Tian’s twisted logic—what about being unclothed and purity? Yet they couldn’t find a reason to argue against it.

Even Mrs. Xiao couldn’t withstand Lin Tian’s blatant theories, her face blushed slightly, not to mention the Xiao sisters, who were still bachelorettes.

"Lin Tian really says anything," Mrs. Xiao thought and then composed herself before saying, "Let’s head out first, don’t hold up yourself either."

After saying this, she took the lead and walked out. The Xiao sisters gave Lin Tian a cold look and followed her out.

Watching the charming back view of the mother and daughters hasten away, Lin Tian really wanted to burst out laughing three times. He had been dealing with Gu, assassinations, and his mood had nearly turned grim all day, but now, teasing the three beauties, his mood brightened up again.

Lin Tian, with a piece of bread in his mouth, hummed a song indistinctly and also stepped out.

When he reached the Tianfu Restaurant’s garage, Lin Tian pressed the car key button, and a vehicle immediately flashed its lights in response to his call. It was a Land Rover SUV, which looked good but was far less than a bulletproof car.

Zhou Botong was staying at a hotel on Chinese Street. Lin Tian had already walked the route the night before and still remembered how to get there. Arriving at the hotel suite, he found the door open and walked right in, only to see Zhou Botong sitting on the sofa in a daze.

He noticed a bright five hundred yuan coin on the coffee table, which, of course, was in island country currency, worth less than fifty yuan if converted to RMB. There was also a note underneath it.

"Brother Zhou, what’s got you so spaced out?" Lin Tian asked curiously. This didn’t seem like Zhou Botong’s style.

"Brother Lin Tian, I am wondering if I am really my mother’s biological son," Zhou Botong said with a gloomy face.

"Ah, what’s happened that’s so serious?" Lin Tian was startled, but seeing that Zhou Botong’s expression was one of helplessness rather than sadness.

Zhou Botong picked up the note and handed it to Lin Tian, saying, "Take a look for yourself."

Lin Tian took it, puzzled, and then read the contents of the note.

Son, we saw you were sleeping deeply, so we left first. The five-hundred yuan on the table is just to draw your attention to this note, don’t go spending it, from Mom.

"Hahaha..." Lin Tian burst out laughing. He had suspected, with Elder Zhou’s character, how could he have raised someone as funny as Zhou Botong. Turns out it was inherited from his mom.

"Brother Zhou, you are eldest young master of the Zhou Family, surely you can afford a taxi, right?" Lin Tian held back his laughter and asked curiously.

"Well... I have RMB, but it’s not really useful here. Even if I used the five hundred yuan coin, it wouldn’t be enough to cover a taxi fare," Zhou Botong stammered, embarrassed to say.

"Enough of that, haven’t I come to pick you up? I’ve got the car right here, ready to serve as your personal driver. Come on, let’s head out. It’s no good for us two shareholders to be holed up in a hotel all day," Lin Tian clapped him on the shoulder and said.

"Hehe, Brother Lin is really good to me," Zhou Botong laughed, his sullen face immediately brightening up, finding joy and humor in everything, oblivious to worry.

"Don’t stand so close; anyone who doesn’t know might think we are more than friends," Lin Tian, unable to bear his enthusiasm, quickly said.

"Cut it out, you wish it were so. With a man as bright and brave as me, I’m already taken. You’ve missed your chance," Zhou Botong rambled on, "Hey, wait a second, speaking of being bright and brave, you are looking quite stylish today!"
