Upon hearing this, Suoh Yuki greeted him with a sweet smile and said:

"These are some private topics, so it's fine to talk about them outside."

The other party was not surprised at all that Lin Qi knew there were people outside. In fact, they already knew some things about Lin Qi. After all, although the family had declined and was becoming increasingly dangerous, it still had a foundation.

Lin Qi was taken aback when he heard this. He handed the other person a cup of tea, and the other person took a sip with great elegance and then expressed his admiration, which was genuine.

"It tastes so good."

After seeing that the other party had drunk the tea, Lin Qi got straight to the point.

"I'm quite curious, why did you contact me? I don't think we know each other."

"Don't tell me you just wanted to get to know me. If that were the case, you wouldn't be watching me all day, or even coming here specifically to wait for someone, only to come looking for me after they've left. It's obvious you have something else to say."

Lin Qi didn't waste any more words and asked directly.

Yuki Suoh didn't seem to mind what she heard; instead, she smiled and said:

"As expected of you, nothing I look like can escape your notice."

Although Suoh Yuki knew some information, she didn't have such a real feeling. She never expected that the other party knew everything about her outside.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Suoh Yuki spoke with a smile, which almost made Lin Qi spit out his tea.

"Of course, it's about our engagement."

"My fiancé."

"Cough cough cough."

Lin Qi was slightly taken aback by these words, and then, with a look of confusion in his eyes, he spoke with a bewildered expression.

“I recognize each word you say individually, but I don’t understand the combination of words.”

"A marriage contract? Are you kidding me? I've never heard of such a thing."

Lin Qi was truly shocked this time; he really didn't understand what kind of situation this engagement was.

"Didn't Uncle Lin mention it to you before he passed away? When he came here, he arranged a marriage for you, and one of the people involved was from our family."

Lin Qi caught another key word, and these two words made his eyes look even more strange.

What on earth did his deadbeat father do behind his back? At the same time, he remembered something: when Liu Mei was talking about these people, she seemed to have something to say, but she held back. Thinking of this, Lin Qi instantly understood that the other party did it on purpose, leaving a bomb for him to defuse.

“Tell me everything from beginning to end. Don’t ask me why I don’t know about this. Let me tell you this: I’ve never met that old geezer more than 50 times in my entire life. And that number is an exaggeration. So I don’t know anything about these things.”

"Of course, don't try to lie to me. After all, I can tell that you've checked some of my things before you came to me for money, so lying to me won't work. I don't want to use mind-reading or anything like that, because that's too disrespectful."

Lin Qi, unusually serious this time, spoke in a very earnest tone.

Yuki Suoh was somewhat surprised to hear Lin Qi's words. It turned out that the other party genuinely didn't know, and that the father and son had met less than 50 times in their entire lives. Just how unreliable was the other party's father, the person who had once come to arrange the engagement?

After all, he had inquired about the other party's information before his death, and his family had also collected information. After the other party came here, Hou Yi ran out every day. To put it bluntly, he went out to have fun with all sorts of anxieties. After remarrying, he took his remarried partner and went out to have fun everywhere.

He was supposed to be a complete playboy, but the truth is he's only met his son less than 50 times in all these years, and that's an exaggeration. How ridiculous is that?

It's no wonder that Lin Qi knew nothing at all.

Yuki Suoh also began to speak out about what she knew. After all, the other party had said so, so there was no need to lie. Besides, she had never intended to boast about these things. She would just tell the truth.

"Lin Qijun, do you know what kind of family your family, or rather, the family your father came from before he came here, was?"

Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know, or rather, he simply didn't want to know. After all, he grew up here and had people around him. As for that old man, he hadn't seen him much, let alone the Lin family in Daxia.

To put it bluntly, my mindset is to never see each other again. You go your way, I'll go mine. No, wait, it should be the other way around. I'm the one going my way, so just leave me alone.

Chapter 385 The Dragon King's Script? Even a dog wouldn't take it!

Lin Qi was asked about his family, or rather, what kind of family the old man had left, the Lin family. This was a real question for him.

Lynch shook his head at this.

"To be honest, I've only heard that the old man left his family and joined a large family, but I have no idea why he left or anything like that."

Suoh Yuki was somewhat surprised to hear this, but just as he was about to speak, Lin Qi spoke first.

"Of course, I myself will not deliberately try to find out, or rather, it makes no difference to me whether this lousy family exists or not. I have never been there for a second, nor have I seen any of the people inside, so it doesn't matter to me whether they exist or not."

"As for being from some big family, if you think that's something everyone desires, then you're overthinking it. I myself represent everything."

The fleeting aura emanating from Lin Qi as he spoke caused the other person to instinctively lower their head, unable to look at Lin Qi at that moment.

Lin Qi instantly returned to normal, handed a cup of tea to the person who had bowed his head, and then spoke with a smile.

"What I just said was just me stating my position. You can continue."

"I'll just listen to it as a story at most."

Yuki Suoh took a sip of tea to calm herself down, and then poured out everything she knew.

After hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling utterly helpless. How did he end up with such a melodramatic plot?

The old man's own lineage was the direct line, but they were tricked by the collateral branches, leaving them with no choice but to flee far away.

Of course, even if he didn't flee far from his family, he wouldn't be the one with an uncle above him. The other party is the heir, but he was also tricked. As for the rest of the situation, it's all internal family business and he can't find out anything about it.

However, Lin Qi was not surprised at all that the other party was not the heir. What kind of inheritance is that?

At the same time, that family is a very large family, with branches in all walks of life.

Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this, realizing that he was actually from a previous generation.

"Wow, who would have thought? There's someone with such a background, probably from a very wealthy family."

"Tsk tsk tsk, after hearing what you said, should I just do what those novels say, play dumb and pretend to be weak while actually being strong, and then make a triumphant return?"

Lin Qi thought of those melodramatic novel plots, like a low-key return, then showing off, slapping faces and picking up girls, and then appearing in the family's sight, gradually revealing his identity, making the family regret or destroy the family, etc. That's a plot from so many years ago, and he would rather die than have that kind of crappy plot.

After all, he wasn't one of those crooked-mouthed dragon kings, or those good-for-nothings or live-in sons-in-law. If they dared to cause trouble here, he would immediately wipe them out. Don't talk to them about blood ties or anything like that; he wasn't familiar with them.

Seeing Lin Qi's ability to joke about such a thing, Suoh Yuki understood that he really didn't care. However, according to the information, he hadn't replied at all, and it seemed that he didn't even know about the engagement. After all, he probably didn't know a lot about the number of times they had met. They were just complete strangers, or at most, strangers with blood ties.

At this moment, Lin Qi seemed to remember something, and immediately rested his chin on one hand, looking at the other person with great interest.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. What did that old man do? How could someone who escaped here in this situation be able to arrange a marriage with your family, and it sounds like there's more than one family involved?"

"Has your family lost their minds or something? If I were in that situation, I would definitely kick that old man as far away as possible, since there's no benefit in it according to your family's model."

Suoh Yuki's smile faltered slightly at that moment, after all, this was clearly the speech of a filial son. However, considering the other party's attitude and what he said, it seemed quite understandable.

If we had to define our relationship, we'd be like strangers with a father-son relationship at best.

Although my parents are divorced, I used to see my father very often, almost every day.

So it's really hard to say about the other party's situation, after all, they are the heir to the family. Many things are better left unsaid if you haven't experienced the suffering of others. If you don't know the other party's situation, it's best to keep quiet about such matters!

"The main thing is that the matter was quite simple. At the time, our family did not know anything about the other party. We only knew that the other party was a direct descendant of a very powerful family in the building."

"So we got engaged."

"I'm not too clear about the situation at the time, but you can think of it as something like the other side's arrival. Uh, the news on that side was kept under tight control, and some people recognized your father's identity, so they wanted to curry favor and get closer to him. For example, my grandfather wanted to get closer to him, so he set the stage for our marriage, since in a sense, you and I are the same age."

"However, we later discovered that there seemed to be a problem with your family. After investigating, we finally found some clues, which is why our friendship with your father ended."

"Some people are quite angry and feel cheated, but no matter what, your father is also a member of the Lin family on that side. Who knows, one day your direct descendants might take back the family. So no one dares to do anything else. At most, they just choose to stand by and watch."

"As time went by, people stopped taking it to heart and forgot about this person. That's all I know."

Lin Qi knew very well that the other party was not lying and had indeed told him what she knew. This made him a little curious: if this girl also knew about this situation, then why did she come to him?

Lin Qi wasn't one of those idiots who would get incredibly excited when a beautiful girl said she was her fiancé, and then fantasize about finally escaping the label of "single dog."

Knowing that you've never lacked people throughout your life, and that someone would contact you so early after so many years of no contact, or even before you'd heard of them, speaks volumes.

...

P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!

Chapter 386 Me? A Girl-Harvester? What kind of nickname is that?

"Alright? I know what happened. So, my fiancée, you're busy this morning, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Qi then spoke with a smile, his tone full of teasing. The other person didn't mind and smiled back, looking at Lin Qi.

"What if I just said I wanted to visit my fiancé?"

Suoh Yuki spoke in a similarly teasing tone, but Lin Qi retorted, "I don't believe you for a second. You're a wicked little girl."

"Now that you've finished watching, what are your thoughts?"

At this moment, Lin Qi spread his hands, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the other person.

"Hmm, he looks even more handsome than in the photos."

Lin Qi didn't expect the other party to say that. He had to admit, the other party was quite eloquent.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now that you mention it, I feel like you've hit the jackpot by getting engaged to you."

Suoh Yuki never expected Lin Qi to be so narcissistic. To be honest, she almost lost her composure after hearing this.

After all, doesn't that imply that she's hit the jackpot by getting engaged to the other person? It's clearly just a way of saying that she's not good enough.
