Chapter 546: Chapter 543 Unexpected Person

"Lin Tian, your explanation is truly novel, I’ve never heard loneliness be interpreted like this, but it makes a lot of sense," Ou Qinglan said, looking at Lin Tian with a face full of surprise.

"It appears to be Miss Ou from the Ou family, and Second Young Master Yun, what I just said was all nonsense, not to be taken seriously. I’m just a young person, how could I possibly understand a ruler’s heart?" Lin Tian said seriously, with much humility.

Ou Qinglan, however, shook her head seriously and said, "What is a ruler? The peak of Martial Arts is a ruler, the peak of power is a ruler, and reaching the pinnacle in jade carving also makes one a ruler, don’t you think?"

"Miss Ou, don’t listen to Lin Tian’s nonsense, he loves to deceive girls and always comes up with ambiguous things. Second Young Master Yun, Miss Ou, please come upstairs with me," Miss said as she came down and intervened.

Damn, when have I ever lied to girls? Besides, Ou Qinglan isn’t a girl; she’s a woman. It’s not the same concept, is it? Lin Tian thought indignantly.

Ou Qinglan’s expression did not change much; she nodded slightly with a smile at Lin Tian and followed Miss to the elegant seats. The old man who came with Yun Xiaotian, referred to by Miss as Second Young Master Yun, glanced at Lin Tian, said nothing, and turned to go upstairs.

Yun Xiaotian smiled at Lin Tian, then followed the old man upstairs too.

As for Zhou Botong’s wife, she obediently walked with Ou Qinglan. In Zhou Botong’s words, "If love lasts forever, does it matter whether we are together day and night?" It was better to make a good impression in front of Ou Qinglan, so later she could speak well of them in front of the Ou family elders. After all, the Zhou family and the Ou family were not of equal social ranking, and the Ou family would most likely oppose their marriage.

"Brother Lin, let’s find somewhere to sit, or more and more people will come, and standing here would turn us into an animal attraction," Zhou Botong said.

Lin Tian nodded and with Xiao Manxuan and Zhou Botong found a corner to sit down, where a waiter then brought them some tea.

"Brother Zhou, who was that quiet old man you were talking about?" Lin Tian pointed upwards, asking.

"That’s Yun Xiaotian’s Second Granduncle, Yun Haoyang; you can also call him Second Uncle or any which way. It’s just his grandfather’s brother, whatever you call him is fine," Zhou Botong explained.

"Damn, it’s that old guy from the Ou family, and they believe Miss has the fortune thereby sending Yun Xiaotian after her. Could it be that the old guy personally came to play matchmaker?" Lin Tian exclaimed, eyes wide with shock.

Xiao Manxuan gave him a glare and said, "Keep your voice down, or else other people will hear, and my Xiao Family’s doorstep will be worn out by suitors."

"These rich people really believe in all that stuff, truly sad," Lin Tian sighed.

"I don’t know if Second Young Master Yun believes in that stuff, but I’m sure he isn’t here to propose this time," Zhou Botong said confidently.

"How so?" Lin Tian asked.

Zhou Botong replied, "You wouldn’t know since you’ve never been involved in the jade industry, but Second Young Master has a strong passion for jade. Whenever there is top-quality jade somewhere, he is sure to appear. Although he loves jade, his discernment is quite questionable; he loses nine out of ten gambles on stone, but he’s stubborn, and despite his losses, he never gives up gambling on stones."

"Isn’t that the very definition of a wastrel?" Lin Tian chuckled.

Xiao Manxuan interjected, "This Second Young Master spends his own earned money; you can’t call him a wastrel, unlike those incompetent scions of other families. Besides, his presence at the auction is beneficial for us."

"Your point coincides with mine," Lin Tian said with a smile. "Since he adores top-grade jade, the prices will surely be pushed up high by him in order to get it, and while we make a profit, others will certainly despise him as a disruptor."

"That’s not necessarily true, there are plenty who don’t take money seriously. For example, the Li Family, and then there’s Futian Yizhi from the Rizhao Group. Look, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives," Zhou Botong said, nodding meaningfully toward the main door.

At that moment, several people entered through the main door. Two men were walking side by side in front, with the one on the left being Lin Tian’s potential enemy, Futian Yizhi, followed by Futian Shenyi and a few subordinates. Among the subordinates was a familiar face, Hattori Xiuming, who had mastered the Bone Shrinking Skill.

On the right, Lin Tian recognized many of the individuals—the Li Family’s third young master, Li Wenrong, the second young master Li Wenxuan, and of course, the little princess Li Xiaoxiao, although they were all following a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was a stranger to Lin Tian, sporting a very handsome face, deep eyes, and a casual gaze. He walked with a commanding presence, the kind likely cultivated by long-term leadership positions.

Although the two groups entered the main door at the same time, they went their separate ways without exchanging a word.

No sooner had Futian Yizhi entered the main door than he scanned the lobby, spotted Lin Tian in a corner. His eyes slightly narrowed, but he quickly resumed normalcy and then walked upstairs as if he did not recognize Lin Tian.

The middle-aged man proceeded upstairs even more briskly, moving without glancing sideways and not noticing Lin Tian. Li Wenxuan and the others did notice Lin Tian but didn’t dare leave their group to greet him.

After the two groups went upstairs, Lin Tian suddenly scoffed.

"Lin Tian, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with them? Also, why were you staring continuously at the Li Family’s people just now?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"Li Family’s people? If I’m not mistaken, that middle-aged man is your uncle," Lin Tian said with a smile.

This little girl’s way of speaking was too amusing, referring to her mother’s family as the Li Family, rather than by direct familial titles.

"How do you know?" Xiao Manxuan asked, astounded.

Lin Tian smiled enigmatically and said, "Not only do I know he’s your uncle, I also know he’s Li Wenxuan’s real father, which makes his identity quite obvious now—I can say with certainty that he is the head of the Li Family!"

"That’s interesting, your aunts’ uncle, Mrs. Xiao’s older brother, the head of the Li Family—these subtle identities, which one do you think he has come as?" Lin Tian said with a half-smile.

"Oh my God, Brother Lin, from your tone just now, you didn’t seem to know the Li Family’s head before, so how did you recognize his identity upon seeing him? You can’t be a god who can see through people’s pasts and futures, can you?" Zhou Botong asked in amazement, full of admiration.

God indeed, I’m a zombie who can see through people’s bodies, it’s true, but I’m powerless regarding their past or future," Lin Tian replied helplessly to Zhou Botong’s dramatic reactions.

He had to explain, "You all know about Li Wenxuan’s situation; he has no fond feelings for the Li Family, but his look at that middle-aged man was very complicated, mixed with both love and hate, and also interspersed with awe. The person who could evoke such emotions must be his biological father, who is also the head of the Li Family!"
