The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

As they spoke, Lingyun and Dameiyuan took out several dishes from the insulated box and placed them on the dining table one by one.

Then they took their seats and prepared to enjoy the sumptuous meal.

To everyone's surprise, Da Meiyuan's parents looked shocked.

Ling Yun instantly realized why they were behaving this way.

He chuckled softly, then smiled and asked:

"Uncle, I wonder if you prefer Moutai or Wuliangye, or perhaps you'd like to try both? Let's have a few drinks together."

"Auntie and Yuanyuan are drinking red wine, this bottle of 85 Romanée-Conti, is the best vintage for this brand in the last thirty years..."

After hearing his words, Da Meiyuan's parents finally came to their senses.

They exchanged a quick glance and simultaneously uttered a few words of reflection.

"Xiao Ling, your quality of life is too high, it's astonishing! This dinner must have cost millions, you're really willing to spend that much!"

"Absolutely! We wouldn't even dare to dream of spending so much money on a single meal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not usually this extravagant. I'm not that particular about food and clothing. As long as I'm comfortable and eat well, that's enough for me. I don't pursue luxurious clothes and fine food!"

"We're treating you two to dinner tonight, right? It's our first time eating together, and we're going to talk about Yuanyuan and me, so I have to make a good impression."

"Please don't be shy, both of you. Besides the fine wines on the table, I've also prepared a case of 82 Maotai with yellow sauce and a case of 84 Wuliangye for my uncle."

"My aunt also received a gift: a box of 85 Romanée-Conti vintage wines and a limited-edition Hermès Birkin bag. I'll have it delivered to her home later..."

Before she could finish speaking, Da Meiyuan burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, you did a great job! These two gifts are really perfect; my parents will definitely love them."

"With such a substantial gift, it would be a bit unreasonable if my parents weren't satisfied."

As she spoke, she turned to the side, took Ling Yun's arm, and leaned over to give him a light kiss on the cheek.

Clearly, she was using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

Using Lingyun's two gifts, he wanted to express his attitude and put on a show for his parents.

Da Meiyuan's parents, realizing what had happened, looked helplessly at their daughter who was siding with outsiders, and then turned to look at Ling Yun.

"Thank you, Xiaoling, you've thought of everything so thoughtfully, but this gift is far too valuable for us to accept!"

"As you know, we work in the Ministry of Aerospace and are considered public officials. We need to be mindful of our image and cannot accept such valuable gifts."

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, immediately offering his own solution.

"Uncle, Aunt, you don't need to worry about this. I'll give Yuanyuan the receipts for these gifts later."

"With Yuanyuan's current astonishing wealth, buying these things to show her respect to you two is nothing at all!"

"I can also speak to the relevant leaders in the Ministry of Aerospace and explain the situation. Coincidentally, I have some connections in both the Civil Aviation Administration and the Ministry of Aerospace."

"Let's put the gift aside for now, let's eat. We can talk about anything while we eat..."

As he spoke, he stood up and poured a glass of red wine for Da Meiyuan and her daughter.

Next, I asked Da Meiyuan's father for his opinion and learned that he liked to drink Moutai, so I opened the bottle of yellow sauce Moutai and poured him a glass.

Then he poured himself another glass of Moutai before sitting back down in his chair.

Seeing that he had arranged everything perfectly, Da Meiyuan's parents could only nod and accept the outcome.

Afterwards, everyone ate and chatted.

After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, Da Meiyuan's father took the initiative to get down to business.

He gently put down his wine glass and looked at Ling Yun with a serious expression.

"Xiao Ling, what are your plans regarding your relationship with Yuan Yuan and your relationship with Lei Lei?"

"To be honest, your relationship is really messy and absurd. We just found out about it and we're furious!"

"But what's done is done, getting angry won't help. The important thing is to find a solution. Tell me your thoughts!"

Ling Yun blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He messed up the whole thing with other people's cousins, and now their parents are coming to his door. It would be a lie to say he doesn't feel guilty!

Even if he felt guilty, he still had to find a way to deal with it.

He turned to look at Da Meiyuan, but Da Meiyuan blushed and looked down at her knees, unable to offer him any help.

Well! Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway!

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, looking at Da Meiyuan's parents sitting opposite him, and forced himself to say the words he had rehearsed countless times in his mind!

"Uncle, Aunt, you're both right. My relationship with Yuanyuan and Leilei is indeed unconventional, and it's all my fault!"

"If you want to blame someone, then blame me alone. The root of this problem lies with me; Yuanyuan and Leilei were both passive..."

Hearing this, Da Meiyuan finally raised her head.

She turned to look at Ling Yun, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, ready to offer a few words of explanation.

Ling Yun reached out and pressed her hand down, gently shaking his head to signal her to be quiet.

Then, he looked at Da Meiyuan's parents, whose expressions were conflicted.

"Uncle, Aunt, I won't go into the details of how I got together with Yuanyuan and Leilei; it's a private matter!"

"Here, I'll describe my own situation. It's no exaggeration to say that I have competitors everywhere in the international financial market, and I'm a thorn in the side of many individuals and institutions."

"These include many top international financial institutions, and even governments in Europe and the United States, who are secretly investigating my identity in order to obtain my investment strategies."

"Internally, I not only make investments myself, but I also shoulder some special missions, which is why Shenzhen took special care of me, helping me conceal my identity and assigning special agents to protect me!"

"Under these circumstances, I cannot marry either Yuanyuan or Leilei. This is for safety reasons and also to mitigate the risks."

"I cannot burden them with unknown risks, but secretly, I can provide them with tremendous assistance, including endless wealth and top-tier resources..."

Upon hearing his explanation, Da Meiyuan's parents' facial muscles twitched.

They knew in their hearts that Ling Yun was absolutely right, without the slightest exaggeration.

They had a profound understanding of this as they drove into the villa.

The security inside and outside this villa is so tight that it is definitely not something a billionaire can enjoy. Even if this billionaire is rich, he is not entitled to it!

China is different from the Western world; it is not a place where money can buy anything!

Da Meiyuan's parents work in the aerospace industry, so they understand this principle better than others!

Just then, Da Meiyuan suddenly interrupted, her voice choked with emotion.

"Dad, Mom, there's something I've been too embarrassed to say, because I'm afraid you'll think I'm shameless for even stealing my own cousin's boyfriend."

"Now we can't keep quiet about this. Actually, I was the one who actively pursued Ling Yun, creating opportunities for him, and ultimately achieving my goal!"

"In the entertainment industry, I've seen countless scumbags, even scoundrels. Now that I've met such a good man, I absolutely don't want to miss out, even if he's Leilei's boyfriend."

"From my perspective, what's wrong with not getting married as long as I'm with Lingyun? It's even better that way. It doesn't affect our living together or having children..."

Da Meiyuan's parents were stunned and even felt a little embarrassed.

When they realized what was happening, they all rolled their eyes.

The next moment, Da Meiyuan's mother glared at her daughter with annoyance.

"Fine! You're so shameless, what else can we do? They say girls are outgoing, but isn't your extroversion a bit too much?"
