After hearing Li Jin's words, Lin Qian tried retaliate, but Li Jin pinned her down by the hands, "I won't do anything to you, I swear on my military rank."
The reason for Lin Qian's retaliation was probably due to the fact that she had been hurt too many times in the past.
But, after hearing Li Jin's words, she finally relaxed.
"We aren't at this stage yet..."
"Not yet. But, since they've tread into my area of influence, then it is my responsibility to control it." After saying these words, Li Jin finally loosened his grip and continued to drive forward.
Lin Qian turned her head and glanced at Li Jin's side profile. This strong and tall man was quite an upright person. Because he was in the military, upholding promises was his instinctive duty.
Lin Qian finally realized her situation couldn't get any worse.
So, as soon as she thought about the $30 million, she was no longer upset at Li Jin.
...
Soon, the two arrived at the Quan Family Home. Upon spotting Lin Qian, the housekeeper immediately approached, "Second Miss, why are you back?"
After speaking, the housekeeper glanced at the man behind her.
"Are Mr. and Mrs. Quan home?" Lin Qian no longer referred to them as her mother and father because it was no longer necessary.
"The Madam is home, but..."
"That's good enough." Lin Qian then gestured for Li Jin to stand beside her and the two walked towards the living room. However, as they approached, they realized the Quan Family had guests.
When Mother Quan saw that Lin Qian had returned and she had brought a man with her, she was obviously angry. She immediately stopped her at the doorway and asked, "What are you doing here? You sure know how to pick your day. Was it the housekeeper that told you that Ziye's fiancee is visiting?"
"Let me warn you, you little sl*t. Don't try to ruin things for Ziye again."
Lin Qian did not say a word, nor did she notice Li Jin pull out his phone behind her and record the entire conversation, "Mrs. Quan, with your tone of voice, we can't give you $30 million."
"Where did this poor fellow come from?" Mother Quan insulted. "I'm teaching my daughter a lesson. It's none of your business."
"Mrs. Quan can tend to her guests first. We can discuss our matter after."
After speaking, Li Jin led Lin Qian out to the garden, where they sat down.
In the spur of the moment, Mother Quan didn't know how to deal with Lin Qian, so she had no choice but to turn around and return to the living room.
Lin Qian felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, she wanted to leave the property altogether. But, Li Jin remained seated upright with an authoritative vibe, like he was seated in front of his desk at the military base.
"I want to leave."
"You haven't stolen nor snatched anything, why should you feel bad? You don't deserve to feel that way," Li Jin responded.
"Li Jin!"
"Leave it with me," Li Jin replied.
Lin Qian sighed. She didn't want Li Jin to be humiliated alongside her, even though she relaxed after seeing that he wasn't upset at all.
However, she understood Mother Quan well. She was obviously holding them up for as long as she could, without letting them into the living room.
"Are you hungry?"
"How could you think about hunger at a time like this?"
Li Jin did not reply. Nor did his expression change. He simply pulled out his phone and made a call.
Half an hour later, two men dressed in military uniform appeared at the villa and delivered some dim sum to Li Jin and Lin Qian, right in front of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was shocked. At this moment, he finally noticed that the man accompanying Lin Qian looked quite wealthy and respectable. His identity was definitely special.
Mother Quan heard something was happening outside and caught a glimpse of the two military soldiers leaving.
