The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Around 6:30 p.m., dusk gradually descended, enveloping the entire city.

The streetlights in the residential area were already on, and Lingyun's luxurious villa was even brightly lit.

At this moment, he was dressed neatly, opened the door and came to the front garden, smiling as he looked at the garden gate fifty or sixty meters away.

Because Lingyun was going to treat Da Meiyuan's parents to dinner tonight, Jia Jingwen and Leilei went back to their respective homes, while Yanzi went to the Houhai Grand Courtyard to have dinner with Lingyun's parents.

Just today, Ada Choi's mother flew to Beijing with her daughter, and Ada was unable to get away.

Leilei needs to go home and talk to her parents to prepare for the meeting between the two families tomorrow, so as to avoid any unexpected problems!

Less than two minutes later, Da Meiyuan and her family of three arrived.

The villa garden gate opened, and Da Meiyuan drove her Audi A8 slowly into the garden.

Seeing this, Ling Yun put on a smile and took a few steps forward to greet him.

In a short while, the Audi arrived and stopped.

As soon as the car stopped and the engine was turned off, Da Meiyuan in the driver's seat quickly gave Ling Yun a wink and smirked.

Her meaning was crystal clear: she wanted Ling Yun to make a good impression.

Ling Yun smiled, quickly stepped forward, and took the initiative to open the rear door of the Audi A8.

"Good evening, Uncle and Aunt. Welcome to our home. It's an honor to have you here. Please get out of the car!"

He had met Da Meiyuan's parents before at the Poly Theatre, but they weren't very familiar with each other!

Knowing that his identity was special and sensitive, and that he was incredibly wealthy, Da Meiyuan's parents were very indignant, but they didn't make a scene.

Good evening, Lingyun. I hope I haven't disturbed you.

"Thank you for the invitation, Xiaoling. We really should sit down and have a talk."

As they spoke, Da Meiyuan's parents got out of the car one after the other.

Once they landed and stood still, looking at the luxurious top-tier villa, the vibrant garden, and the artistic furnishings, they couldn't help but utter a few words of admiration.

"Wow, this luxurious villa is so beautiful! It's full of artistic flair. This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful villa in Beijing!"

"You're too modest, Xiaoling. If your house is a humble dwelling, then other people's houses can only be described as thatched huts!"

Ling Yun smiled and prepared to exchange a few polite words.

Just then, Da Meiyuan came up and took over the conversation with a smile.

"Let's go inside. Don't stand in the yard and talk. It's almost late October, and it's getting a bit chilly outside at night."

"Besides, Ling Yun and I both have somewhat special identities, so it's a bit inappropriate for us to just stand in the courtyard and talk like this."

Despite saying that, she reached out and took Ling Yun's arm, her face beaming with happiness.

Seeing her looking so docile and dependent, her parents exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

Ling Yun then led them into the luxurious villa.

Behind them, security personnel went out to check the situation outside the gate, and only after confirming that there was nothing unusual did they close the garden gate.

As they spoke, Lingyun and Da Meiyuan's family entered the villa.

As soon as the door closed, Da Meiyuan's mother suddenly asked curiously:

"Xiaoling, why did you decide to move here? Why aren't you staying at the apartment in Financial Street that Leilei's mom and I went to before?"

"That house is also very nice, mainly because it's convenient, but of course, it can't compare to this luxury villa."

Ling Yun turned to look at her and explained the reason with a smile.

"Due to the special nature of my work, I face numerous competitors in the international financial market, coupled with some unexpected events, and the concern from Shenzhen."

"I moved to this villa for security reasons. It's a detached building in a gated community with a wall, which makes security easier."

"This involves some other confidential matters, which I cannot disclose to you at the moment. I will tell you the specific reasons after the information is declassified."

Hearing his explanation, Da Meiyuan's parents were secretly astonished.

They had actually heard Da Meiyuan mention these things a few times and knew the importance of keeping them secret, so they didn't ask any further questions.

After changing into slippers, everyone walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa to chat.

During the conversation, Lingyun introduced the villa and then talked about the arrangements for the evening, such as what dishes to eat.

This special dinner was certainly not something he could have prepared himself.

To entertain the father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were actually married but not officially recognized, he had the executive chef of the Peninsula Hotel invited to his home to prepare a sumptuous Cantonese feast.

From 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., the executive chef and several apprentices were busy cooking in this luxury villa.

Some of these famous dishes, which require a lot of time and effort, were even started last night and transported here from the Peninsula Hotel this afternoon to complete the final step!

Around 6 p.m., the Peninsula Hotel's executive chef and his team finished their work and left the luxury villa together to return to the hotel!

From beginning to end, they didn't see Ling Yun even once, and they had no idea who was being entertained at the banquet tonight!

Upon learning that he had gone to such lengths, Da Meiyuan's parents were polite in words, but they were quite pleased with themselves.

My impression of Lingyun naturally improved.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Da Meiyuan's parents quickly exchanged a glance and took the initiative to get to the point.

"Xiao Ling, the main reason we're here tonight is to have a serious talk with you about you and Yuan Yuan."

"To be honest, your current relationship and way of getting along is too unconventional. As Yuanyuan's parents, we're really having a headache."

Hearing them talk about this, Da Meiyuan immediately became nervous and secretly squeezed Ling Yun's big hand.

Ling Yun, however, acted as if nothing had happened, gently patting the back of her hand and signaling with his eyes that she could rest assured.

Then, he said with a smile:

"Uncle, Aunt, I know why you've come. These things really need to be discussed properly, and I want to take responsibility!"

"Let's go to a restaurant, eat and chat. Tonight we're having Cantonese food, with lots of seafood. It'll be best eaten while it's hot."

Da Meiyuan's parents exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

"Okay, let's eat and chat at the same time. That way, the atmosphere will be more relaxed, and everyone will feel more at ease."

Then, everyone got up and walked towards the restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, everyone could see it immediately.

The table was set with freshly prepared delicacies, a total of twelve dishes, each one a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making one's mouth water just looking at them.

But that's not all. Several other delicacies, which require extremely precise temperature control and texture, are currently kept in insulated boxes.

Besides these, there was also a bottle of Romanée-Conti that had been aerated, a bottle of 82 Maotai with yellow sauce, and a bottle of 1984 Wuliangye from the Jiaobei brand.

Seeing this, Da Meiyuan's father, who knows wine well, was immediately stunned!

Da Meiyuan's mother doesn't know much about baijiu, but she recognizes the Romanée-Conti brand and knows its price, and she was just as surprised!

Before they could react, Ling Yun greeted them with a smile:

"Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat. We're all family here, this is our own home, please don't be shy or reserved!"

"There are still a few dishes in the insulated box. Yuanyuan and I will go to the kitchen to get them and we'll be right back."

After saying that, he led Da Meiyuan to the Chinese kitchen.

As soon as they left, Da Meiyuan's father couldn't help but murmur a sigh of emotion.

"Wow! This kid is too extravagant. That bottle of '82 Maotai with yellow sauce alone is worth at least 200,000 yuan, and that bottle of '84 Wuliangye with the Jiaobei brand is about the same!"

Da Meiyuan's mother nodded and pointed to the bottle of Romanée-Conti.

"Of course! That bottle of '85 Romanée-Conti is worth at least 300,000, and this meal alone must have cost over a million!"
