La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 112

"Yes, young man, we can understand that you young people like to brag, but you should be mindful of the occasion," Lin Shike's aunt said with an awkward smile.

"Hundreds of billions? What does that mean? Even the four major families in Jiangnan City might not have that much money."

"Shike, your boyfriend is quite witty..."

Seeing this, Lin Tiancheng's eagle-like eyebrows gradually furrowed. Of course, he knew what tens of billions meant.

"Honey, you need to explain to them quickly!" Lin Shike became anxious upon hearing the voice beside her.

"Don't rush!" Ma Yunteng completely ignored the doubts and stood up to walk towards Lin Tiancheng.

The people present were just there to watch the show; all they needed to do was for Lin Tiancheng to agree to the marriage!

"How can you prove you have tens of billions?" Wang Bin pressed on relentlessly.

"Proof?" Ma Yunteng chuckled. "Who do you think you are? Do I need to prove anything to you?"

After saying this, Ma Yunteng didn't even glance at her and continued walking towards Lin Tiancheng: "Grandpa, let me light one for you."

Feng Defeng was so shocked that he forgot to smoke the cigarette he had lit.

"Okay, good!" Lin Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Grandpa Lin, you can't believe what he says. What does 'hundreds of billions' even mean? Our company's market value is only 5 billion. How could he have tens of billions? What kind of international joke is that? Don't let him fool you!" Wang Bin quickly reminded him.

"My boyfriend would never lie!" Lin Shike immediately protested, pouting.

"Shi Ke, you're still too naive. How could a young person our age have hundreds of billions? He must be lying to you!" Wang Bin said meaningfully, as if he were protecting his younger sister!

At this moment, Ma Yunteng had become the focus of the entire audience, and he was like a clown frantically trying to get attention!

"I'd love to!"

"Shi Ke, look at how casually he came to the Lin family. He doesn't take you seriously at all," Wang Bin provoked.

"He looks better than you no matter what he wears!" Lin Shike retorted sharply.

"Shi Ke, I'm doing this for your sake!" Wang Bin said, feeling wronged.

"No need!" Lin Shi had long been fed up with his appearance-based manner.

"Why bother arguing with an idiot?" Ma Yunteng suddenly turned to Lin Shike and scolded her in a condescending tone.

"Oh." Lin Shike covered her mouth, her petite figure showing, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You, you're just a fish farmer!" Wang Bin glared fiercely at Ma Yunteng. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention, but today Ma Yunteng stole the spotlight and even called him an idiot.

"Don't be rude!"

Lin Tiancheng waved his hand at them and then said seriously, "My Lin family is not a family that covets wealth. We don't care about having a lot of money, as long as we have enough to live on! Compared with cold money, my Lin family values a person's talent and character more."

Lin Tiancheng paused and then said, "Just now, Xiao Wang's words implied that he looked down on professions like waiters and deliverymen. I want to say, if that's really what you think, then you can leave now!"

"Grandpa Lin, actually, I don't look down on them, it's just that the money these professions can earn is really..." Wang Bin hurriedly explained.

"Alright! No need to say anymore!" Lin Tiancheng waved his hand at him and continued, "I can understand the youthful vigor, but one must never forget one's roots! There is no distinction between high and low, noble and base, in any profession!"

Your grandfather and I used to collect and sell scraps together when we were young. Does that mean we're inferior to others?!

Snap, snap, snap.

Ma Yunteng clapped in admiration. Lin Tiancheng's words instantly made Ma Yunteng admire him. This was the quality a scholar should have!

"Well then, my Lin family has always respected scholars, and I also intend to find a boyfriend with similar academic background for Shi Ke. Why don't you both introduce your learning experiences?" Lin Tiancheng said to the two of them.

"I was admitted to Jiangnan No. 1 High School at the age of fifteen, and at the age of 18, I was admitted to Durham University in the UK as the second-highest scorer in Jiangnan, majoring in number theory. My current degree is a master's degree," Wang Bin said proudly, patting his chest.

"Hmm." Lin Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Ma Yunteng. If Ma Yunteng were just a roughneck, Lin Tiancheng would definitely not have agreed to the marriage.

"Grandpa, this isn't fair!" Lin Shike gripped Ma Yunteng's sleeve tightly with her little hands, pouting as she looked at Lin Tiancheng with a reproachful expression.

If it comes to diplomas and academic qualifications, Ma Yunteng is definitely no match for the other party. Mu Qianxue had told her that Ma Yunteng's academic qualifications were very average.

"Don't speak. Marriage is a serious matter, not a game," Lin Tiancheng said seriously.

"snort."

"Shi Ke, how can you blame the old man? He's only doing this for your own good!" Ma Yunteng patted her head, then smiled slightly and looked at everyone.

"I have a college diploma!" Ma Yunteng said proudly.

His voice was full of pride, as if he were saying that he had a doctoral degree!

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone froze, realizing how impressive it was to describe a junior college degree.

His cousin, Mu Qianxue, immediately glared at him speechlessly. How could he be so stupid? Why did he have to compare his own disadvantages with others' advantages?

Lin Shike's aunts immediately started discussing it, and it was clear that their opinions were biased towards Wang Bin. After all, one had a junior college degree in China, while the other had a master's degree from a prestigious British university. The difference in their academic qualifications was like an insurmountable gap!

"Uh, old man, what I meant was to ask about your reading experiences, not your educational background! For example, what do you all like and what are you good at? What types of books do you read?" Lin Tiancheng said speechlessly.

"I'm good at solving math problems! In my spare time, my favorite thing to do is read classic works from various countries to cultivate my mind!" Wang Bin said proudly. He is a number theory researcher, and his best thing to do is solve math problems. As for liking to read classic works from various countries, that's just something he made up to show off.

"Young man, what about you?" Lin Tiancheng asked Ma Yunteng.

"What a coincidence."

Ma Yunteng chuckled and looked at everyone.
