Chapter 584 - 583: Meeting the Family as the Official Girlfriend
"Mengting, stop laughing, the last time I came back, my car was towed away by the traffic police." Talking about that matter, Chen Tianlong felt quite embarrassed.
"Haha, really? That kills me!" Wu Mengting couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Sweat, you need to get used to it. This is a remote mountain village. Hearing such a high-end BMW from outside, the villagers thought it was a suspicious vehicle and reported it, so the traffic police towed it away." Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile!
"What are you talking about, it’s not much better where we are from." Wu Mengting knew Chen Tianlong misunderstood, so she quickly explained.
Chen Tianlong grinned, held Wu Mengting’s hand, and the two of them carried gifts as they walked into the village.
Soon, Chen Tianlong arrived at Old Chen’s house. Chen Tian was inside cooking lunch, and upon hearing footsteps outside, he unhurriedly stepped out and furrowed his brows.
Chen Tianlong had returned, but who was the girl behind him? And she seemed to be different from the previous girl, Shen Yan; she was someone else.
Chen Tian scrutinized the girl carefully and immediately felt she was extraordinary and genuinely beautiful. He secretly praised Chen Tianlong, thinking he was impressive for changing girlfriends in just a few days, each one prettier than the last.
"Brother, you’re back!"
Mo Jing walked out of the hall and happened to see Chen Tianlong at the door. But when she saw Wu Mengting behind him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Sister Mengting, you came too."
"Hehe, Mo Jing, long time no see." Wu Mengting saw a familiar face and smiled broadly as she walked over.
"Sister Mengting, it’s so great that you could come. Come quickly and see Old Chen." As Mo Jing spoke, she took Wu Mengting’s hand and headed toward the kitchen, but as they took two steps, Chen Tian emerged.
"Old Chen, this is Sister-in-law, my brother’s real girlfriend." Mo Jing hurriedly introduced her, even adding ’real’ for emphasis.
Chen Tian was a smart person. Upon hearing Mo Jing’s words, he sensed something was off and quickly smiled, saying, "Oh, so this is Tianlong’s girlfriend, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Chen, my name is Wu Mengting, Happy New Year." Meeting the family this time, Wu Mengting’s cheeks flushed as she politely introduced herself.
"Haha, Mengting, Happy New Year. When you’re home, don’t be too formal; we’re all family here, so feel comfortable." Chen Tian clearly took a liking to Wu Mengting right away, seeing that she was gentle and considerate, a perfect wife and mother type, seemingly preferring her over Shen Yan.
"Mm-hmm..."
Wu Mengting nodded repeatedly, clearly a bit shy, as it was her first time meeting Chen Tianlong’s family.
"Sister Mengting, no need to be shy. Just treat it like home. Our Old Chen is very kind." Mo Jing noticed Wu Mengting’s nervous appearance and quickly assured her.
At this point, Chen Tianlong also came over. Facing Old Chen’s gaze, he felt somewhat awkward since he had previously brought Shen Yan back, claiming she was his girlfriend, and now he had brought his real girlfriend back, feeling like he was deceiving them.
"Chen Tianlong, come to the room with me for a moment." On the surface, Chen Tian showed no expression, but Chen Tianlong knew he would likely be questioned.
Sure enough, just as they reached the room, Chen Tian’s face turned stern: "Chen Tianlong, you rascal, you’ve grown up and become rebellious, dare to deceive me. So, who exactly is your girlfriend?"
"Both of them are, oh no, the earlier one was real, and the other was just pretending, but not pretending to be my girlfriend for my family, just for her family; that’s what I promised her to do... and then..."
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Tian wasn’t an obstinate person. Chen Tianlong must have his reasons for doing things this way, so he asked, "Is this your actual girlfriend? Don’t make me waste my expressions on them again."
"Yes, she’s definitely my real girlfriend. I’ve already proposed." Chen Tianlong grinned, showing his teeth.
"Well, you rascal, you’ve really got guts, huh... So, when are you planning to tie the knot?" Chen Tian expected to be reprimanded after hearing the first part, but he didn’t anticipate the latter half.
"I’m a high school student now! My brilliant life has just begun, how could I possibly get bogged down in marriage so early?" Chen Tianlong smirked confidently, "But don’t worry, Wu Mengting will definitely be my future wife."
"Alright then, just make sure she doesn’t disappear on me." Chen Tian confirmed Chen Tianlong’s marital plans and felt reassured.
Just then, Chen Tianlong recalled something and suddenly asked, "Old Chen, do you know who Chen Feng is?"
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing that name, Chen Tian drew a sharp breath, his expression shifting, and with some instability in his emotions, he asked very seriously, "Who told you this name?"
"Oh, an old man at a manor asked me about it. He said my technique of throwing knives looks very similar to Chen Feng’s and wondered if I knew who he was." Chen Tianlong replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Chen Tian frowned and then said, "Alright, our Chen Family doesn’t have anyone by that name. Your father is called Chen Kang, your grandfather is Chen Yuan. As for your two uncles, you should know them."
"Okay then." Chen Tianlong was just about to step out when he suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, Old Chen, I have one more thing to ask you."
"Come on, why do you have so many questions? If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, hold it in. Your wife is still outside." Chen Tian gave Chen Tianlong a look of impatience.
"Hehe, don’t rush, this is definitely the last one." Chen Tianlong didn’t waste time, directly asking, "Back then, you taught me a mantra, saying it was from my dad, but I always felt it was incomplete, do you know if there’s more?"
"Mantra?" Chen Tian was stunned. He had only given Chen Tianlong one kind, could it be... the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique?
"Tianlong, recite the mantra to me!"
"Oh, okay... Qi sinking into the Dantian, condensed at the fingertips, striking..."
"Stop! I see now, it’s the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique." Chen Tian had practiced it with his brother before, but since her physique wasn’t suitable for that Heart Method, she stopped practicing. Chen Kang, however, is a master of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
"Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? So the Heart Method I’ve been practicing is actually called the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? I heard Master Ye Feng mention it before, and I thought he was lying to me, never made any progress." Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile, realizing the heart method he’d been learning for over a decade only had the name confirmed now.
"Yes, that’s right, it’s a very good Heart Method." Chen Tian didn’t want to say more for fear of accidentally revealing something and prompting Chen Tianlong to persistently ask.
"Oh? Then Old Chen, do you know if there are other parts of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique? I’d really like to continue learning." Chen Tianlong seemed to notice Old Chen’s reluctance and asked deliberately.
Sure enough, hearing those words, Chen Tian intentionally shook his head, worried that if he kept asking, nothing would remain hidden.
"Aren’t you and your father close? Perhaps he hid the Heart Method somewhere, and he’s already told you about it." Chen Tian hinted to this point and then impatiently said, "Alright, I need to go attend to our guests, not going to chat idly with you."
