La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 111

This statement directly resolved Wang Bin's awkward situation, because it implied that no one knew Lin Shike had a boyfriend, making Wang Bin's pursuit of her seem perfectly natural.

“We’ve only been talking for three days,” Ma Yunteng said with a slight smile, looking at Lin Shike’s third aunt.

"Oh, only three days? No wonder we didn't know. It's also Shi Ke's fault for not telling us. It's really made us elders worry for nothing. By the way, Shi Ke, can you introduce your boyfriend to us? What does he do? Where do his parents work?"

This sentiment was shared by many others, especially Wang Bin. He had just lost face in front of Lin Shike, but now that things were finally on the right track, how could an ordinary pretty boy compare to someone who had returned from studying abroad?

Before Lin Shike could speak, Ma Yunteng stood up first.

"I am Ma Yunteng, a fish farmer, and my parents are farmers," Ma Yunteng said with a faint smile.

Fish farming?

Parents were farmers?

Wang Bin almost slid off his chair laughing. How could he miss such an opportunity to feel superior?

Lin Shike and Mu Qianxue were also taken aback. Raising fish? Can you be any more ridiculous?!

This is going to infuriate Lin Tiancheng and all his relatives!

Actually, Ma Yunteng had already prepared his self-introduction before entering the room. He originally wanted to say that he ran an internet cafe, but since the Lin family was a scholarly family, they would definitely not approve of people who ran internet cafes. So, Ma Yunteng simply said that he raised fish, and that he raised 100,000 fish in Weiming Lake at Peking University.

"So... do you have a mortgage?" Lin Shike's aunt asked seriously. Her aunt had always been quite concerned about Lin Shike. Although she had also received a 10,000 yuan red envelope from Wang Bin, she genuinely cared about Lin Shike.

“No.” Ma Yunteng shook his head.

"What about the car loan?" Lin Shike's aunt asked awkwardly.

"No, not at all." Ma Yunteng shook his head again.

"Well... young man, you and Shi Ke need to discuss this again!" Lin Tiancheng's eyes flashed coldly. He definitely wouldn't marry Lin Shi Ke off to a penniless guy. No mortgage means he hasn't bought a house, and no car loan means he hasn't bought a car. These two things are standard requirements for young people getting married these days. If you don't even have a house and a car, who the hell would want to live with you?

Although Ma Yunteng left a good first impression on Lin Tiancheng, he certainly couldn't agree to Lin Shike being with such a person for the sake of his granddaughter's happiness.

"You can't do without a house or a car. It's not easy for us poets to have studied for so many years..."

"Yes, young man, you know the situation now, our Shi Ke Ke is being pursued by many people..."

"Shike, this is a major life event for you, you must think it through carefully, because there's no going back in this world..."

"After all, being handsome can't put food on the table. You'll be married and living a life of daily necessities... It's not a game!"

Lin Shike's aunts immediately launched a barrage of questions at Ma Yunteng and Lin Shike.

"Young man, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you have nothing. How are you going to provide happiness for Shi Ke? If I were you, I would go and earn money without hesitation. Even if you were delivering food, packages, or working as a waiter, you wouldn't be this poor!" Wang Bin said to him with disdain.

However, this statement immediately provoked Ma Yunteng's dissatisfaction.

What's wrong with delivering food? What's wrong with being a waiter/waitress? They work hard to earn money, fulfilling their responsibilities to their families and supporting their households. How are they lowly?

It's unimaginable that an intellectual who returned from studying abroad could have such a despicable soul!

"You mean that being a waiter, a food deliveryman, or a courier makes you inferior?" Ma Yunteng asked with a cold glint in his eyes.

"You'd be wrong!" Wang Bin said smugly. "Let me tell you, never believe those so-called ideas in books that there's no such thing as a job being superior or inferior. They're all just written to deceive people. Once you actually enter society, you'll realize that if you're a street sweeper, nobody will even give you a second glance!"

Wang Bin patted his chest and continued, "Look, I'm a prime example. I'm now the general manager, the company provides me with housing, I have over ten thousand yuan in housing provident fund every month, and my company car is an Audi A8!"

Oh, really, it's not a big deal. The key is to have money! I earn over five million a year, and this year I'll have five million in savings by Chinese New Year. You have to be rich to survive in this world! Money, money, money! You understand?

"Idiot!" Ma Yunteng suddenly felt a deep contempt for this person!

Their thoughts are utterly despicable!

"Money?" Ma Yunteng chuckled. "I have money."

"Look at you, always arguing. What money could a fish farmer like you possibly have?" Wang Bin said disdainfully. "I'm talking about savings! Not the one or two hundred yuan you have on you!"

"Savings?" Ma Yunteng nodded. "Yes, I do."

"How many do you have?" Wang Bin asked disdainfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yunteng casually tossed a Double Happiness cigarette to Lin Tiancheng, while his gaze swept over the crowd, and he said indifferently, "It should be several hundred billion, right?"

As soon as Ma Yunteng said that, the air seemed to freeze, and the dining table suddenly became deathly silent.

It must be at least several hundred billion, right?

These words were spoken casually, but to these people, they were like a bolt from the blue. Except for Lin Shike and Mu Qianxue, everyone was stunned.

Lin Shike's aunts suddenly felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats. The lines they had prepared to mock Ma Yunteng were swallowed back, and their gazes towards Ma Yunteng changed from disdain to blankness.

Lin Tiancheng also looked at Ma Yunteng in shock, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

Wang Bin's face darkened completely. He picked at his ears, certain that he hadn't misheard, because he had just cleaned his ears before coming here, and he had heard every single word Ma Yunteng had said.

"Haha, anyone can brag. I could say I have hundreds of billions, but do I really have hundreds of billions?" Wang Bin suddenly laughed, breaking the quiet atmosphere. He could tell that Ma Yunteng's clothes were just cheap street vendor clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan.

Would someone with billions of dollars wear cheap, low-quality clothes?

Moreover, he had deliberately glanced outside the door just now, and apart from the Lin family's car and his Audi A8, there were no other cars outside, and Ma Yunteng was not holding car keys like him.

In a flash, Wang Bin quickly calculated in his mind that if he was really mistaken, there was only one possibility: Ma Yunteng never drove himself and had a professional driver. But even if he had a professional driver, shouldn't he have driven to the Lin family's door in this situation to enhance his own image?

Wang Bin's words immediately reminded everyone.
