While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"I don't have a job yet!"

Faced with Meng Yuanhe's question, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Unemployed? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Meng Yuanhe, Meng Boqu, and the others all showed a look of confusion on their faces.

"Haha, what a fraud! It would be a miracle if this charlatan had a job! Dad, brother, this scoundrel claims to be a captain in the army, and you actually believe him? Look at his shabby appearance, does he look like a captain? It's hilarious! He might just be someone Qingyao picked up off the street to scam you!"

Meng Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Li Shuangshuang glared at Meng Qingyao with great satisfaction, still remembering the slap she had just received.

This time, Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu did not reprimand Meng Yun again, and their expressions became much more unpleasant because of Meng Yun's words.

Because what Meng Yun just said is very likely, how could a retired captain not have a job assigned to him?

Although Meng Bufan really disliked his aunt Meng Yun's attitude, he no longer had the confidence to speak up for Lin Feng.

He served in the military, so he knew very well the value of a captain's position. He was extremely skeptical of Lin Feng's claim that he had no job, suspecting that Lin Feng was lying.

On the other hand, although it was their first time meeting, Meng Bufan felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to his brother-in-law, Lin Feng, and deep down, he was unwilling to believe that Lin Feng was deceiving them.

"Brother-in-law, what... what exactly happened?"

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Bufan finally spoke up and asked Lin Feng.

"I was injured during a mission and haven't been able to work. For the past two years... I've been recuperating!"

Faced with the questions from the Meng family, Lin Feng remained silent for a moment, and ultimately did not offer any further explanation, speaking calmly.

It would be inappropriate for him to say that he had been living a near-vagrant life in Minghai City for the past two years.

Although he himself didn't care, he had already registered his marriage with Meng Qingyao, and saying it now would only cause unnecessary trouble.

"Hey, you're really good at lying! You say you were injured on a mission, and that's true? Who knows if you're just kidding us?"

Meng Yun spoke again mockingly, then added sarcastically, "Dad, Big Brother, it's not so important that this little scoundrel lied to us, what's scary is that he lied to Qingyao in the same way."

Lin Feng's expression turned slightly cold; he loathed this woman to the extreme.

"Kobayashi, how can you prove what you're saying is true?"

Meng Yuanhe frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, Xiaolin. We didn't mean to make things difficult for you, we're just worried that Qingyao might be scammed..."

Meng Boqu chuckled and spoke up, his eyes filled with undisguised suspicion.

All eyes turned to Lin Feng.

They were also very curious about how Lin Feng would prove himself.

"Want to prove it? Fine!"

Lin Feng nodded and started to pull open his collar, but he was stopped by Meng Qingyao who was standing next to him.

With reddened eyes, Meng Qingyao said softly, "Lin Feng, you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. My belief in you is enough!"

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to you!"

"Grandpa, Uncle, Second Uncle, Aunt, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Whether you believe it or not, I have already registered my marriage with Lin Feng, and no one can change that."

Meng Qingyao's gaze was firm, and her words left no room for argument.

"You bastard!"

Meng Yuanhe's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Meng Qingyao and cursed loudly.

"Dad, don't be angry yet. There's still plenty of time. There's no rush. Since Xiao Lin is already here, we should still try our best to be hospitable."

Meng Boqu smiled and patted Meng Yuanhe on the back.

Meng Yuanhe understood the implication in Meng Boqu's words. He glanced at Meng Boqu, then gradually calmed down, nodded, and looked at Lin Feng: "Little Lin, your uncle is right. If you really are a retired captain, then you are worthy of Qingyao. I believe the truth cannot be hidden, and the falsehood cannot be made true. Our Meng family still has some means to distinguish the truth."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't lie."

Lin Feng nodded. Meng Yuanhe was just trying to scare him, but he wasn't afraid. The identity he was using, with the rank of captain, was completely genuine. Even if Meng Yuanhe went to Kyoto to review the files in person, he wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Alright, then I'll trust you for now! You and Qingyao can stay for dinner at home tonight!"

Seeing Lin Feng's sincerity, Meng Yuanhe's expression softened considerably.

Lin Feng glanced at Meng Qingyao, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, I'll do as Grandpa says!"

Since Meng Qingyao had no objections, Lin Feng naturally agreed.

"Bufan, and Zhiheng, the three of you take Xiaolin out for a walk. There's still some time before dinner. You're all young, so spend some time together and get to know each other."

Seeing that Lin Feng had agreed, Meng Yuanhe looked at Meng Bufan and Li Zhiheng, then at Meng Qingyao: "Qingyao, stay here, Grandpa has something to say to you."

Meng Qingyao didn't know what Meng Yuanhe was up to, but she nodded nonetheless.

"Great! I was just saying I was bored staying here!"

Meng Bufan wasn't that cunning; upon hearing Meng Yuanhe's words, he immediately and excitedly agreed.

Li Zhiheng was in a dilemma. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Lin Feng, but he also didn't have any good feelings towards him. In addition, given the conflict between his mother Meng Yun and Li Shuangshuang and Lin Feng, as a son and older brother, Li Zhiheng was even less willing to have too much interaction with Lin Feng.

However, seeing the meaningful look in Meng Yuanhe's eyes, Li Zhiheng understood that his grandfather wanted him to take advantage of the opportunity to spend time with Lin Feng and learn more about his background.

"Alright, Grandpa, then Bufan and I will take my cousin's husband out for a stroll!"

Knowing he couldn't refuse, Li Zhiheng hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"Come on, brother-in-law, I'll take you to a fun place, hehe."

Meng Bufan had already walked over, grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and whispered with a smile.

Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated. This Meng Bufan was quite the social butterfly. However, he didn't refuse. Meng Yuanhe clearly wanted to get rid of him and then secretly investigate his identity. He could naturally see through this little scheme.

However, Lin Feng didn't care. As long as the Meng family had the ability, he would just investigate.

Seeing Meng Bufan pull Lin Feng out, Li Zhiheng had no choice but to follow.

After Lin Feng left, Meng Yuanhe frowned instantly and looked at Meng Yun: "When is Zu Wang coming?"

"Dad, do you want Zuwang to use his connections to investigate Lin Feng's background?"

Meng Boqu immediately understood what Meng Yuanhe meant.

Li Zuwang is Meng Yun's husband, and also Meng Qingyao's uncle. He also served in the military, only becoming a lieutenant at the age of forty. Last year, he retired due to health reasons and took a job in a vacant department in Minghai City.

However, although he had retired, Li Zuwang still had some connections in the army, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find out about someone.
