Chapter 555 What is a real relationship?
next day
The family got up early and informed the girl that they would visit her home today to give the betrothal money. Lin Hao then used his mobile phone to rent a pretty good car!
Wang Cuifang saw her son holding his abdomen and asked in confusion:
"Son, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Ping got in the car and said with a frown:

"I don't know. When I woke up this morning, I felt a little weak and my stomach hurt a little. I guess it's because of the alcohol I drank yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao immediately discovered through his spiritual perception that the mutated gene had taken root, so he no longer paid attention to him because there was no need.

Afterwards, everyone went to the girl's home in the neighboring village, and the girl's family greeted them warmly.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, go out and see if someone from your future in-laws' family is here!"

Chang Xiaoli looked at Liu Ping who got off the car and immediately said:

"Mom, it seems to be him! Besides Liu Ping, there is also his mother and stepfather, and there seems to be a young man. Come and take a look!"

This Chang Xiaoli is the person Liu Ping is going on a blind date with.

Her appearance was ordinary, which was not disgusting. The key point was that there was a familiar feeling about her. It was not that the person was familiar, but the temperament was familiar.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Hao's mind. Isn't this the standard model in big cities, where after making enough money, one returns to one's hometown and finds an honest person to marry?
However, when paired with an uneducated and unskillful second-rate person like Liu Ping, it is like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Although this flower has already bloomed in thousands of homes, it is still a flower after all.

Lin Hao was originally quite looking forward to it, but when he saw this kind of stuff, he instantly lost interest.

At this moment, Lin Hao really wanted to go back to Shanghai. He wanted to go back to find Li Qian, who was supporting him physically and mentally, and Tang Yun, who he had not yet gotten. If all else failed, finding Yuanyuan would not be a bad idea. Even if it was Gan Hong, at least she looked good!

Why should I be here and make myself unhappy?

However, Lin Hao had already parked the car, got out and stood in front of the few people.

Xiaoli's mother rubbed her hands, came up to greet her and said:
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you are finally here!"

Wang Cuifang said with a smile:

"My dear relatives, I brought my son here today to pay the betrothal gift! We need to discuss the matter of these two children carefully!"

"Come on, come on, let's come in and talk!" Xiaoli's mother nodded, but when she glanced at Lin Hao beside her, she asked doubtfully:
"My dear relatives, this is~!"

"This is Old Yu's child. He is very promising now!" He continued while watching Wang Cuifang:
Even though they are half-brothers, they are as close as real brothers. He also helped with the bride price this time!
Wang Cuifang winked at Xiaoli's mother, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Okay, okay, after these two kids are born, we'll all be a family!"

After that, Lin Hao, Yu's father, and Liu Ping's mother and son were welcomed into the living room by Xiaoli's mother.

At this time, a large group of people were sitting in the living room, all of them were Chang Xiaoli's aunts and other relatives.

In rural areas, giving three gold gifts is a very important matter.

After everyone exchanged some pleasantries and chatted about family matters, Xiaoli's mother rubbed her hands and looked at Wang Cuifang.

Lin Hao, feeling somewhat disappointed, was too lazy to watch their fight and directly took out the 50,000 yuan he had prepared to buy his life (no, it was 50,000 yuan as a betrothal gift) and gave it directly to Yu's father.

Everything went smoothly after that. After lunch, Lin Hao had other things to do and needed to return to Shanghai as soon as possible.

However, before leaving, Lin Hao went to Yu's mother's grave according to the memory given by the system. Looking at the deserted grave, Lin Hao felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he replaced someone else's son, so Lin Hao lit a few incense sticks for her and burned a few pieces of yellow paper.

After visiting the grave, Lin Hao found the village cadres and spent tens of thousands of yuan to ask the village to help repair the grave of Yu Huanshui's mother Deng Qiaoling.

In this way, Lin Hao finally felt relieved and then took a plane back to Shanghai.

······
When Lin Hao returned to Shanghai, the agency called him and told him that the company had been registered. The company name was still the familiar Xingyuan, Xingyuan Art Trading Company.

He also applied for auction qualifications, but it would take time to obtain such qualifications. However, Lin Hao was not in a hurry, as it was something he could do at will.

But the headhunters had not given any news about the company’s current employees, and Lin Hao had no one to hire for the time being, so he simply went to Lincoln’s fourth son store and drove the Navigator away.

I originally wanted to get a temporary license for my fourth son’s store, but I didn’t have time to open it these days. Now I have even chosen the formal license.

Originally, Lin Hao wanted to drive to Li Qian's place, but while driving, Lin Hao suddenly realized something.

That is, the persona he had in Li Qian's eyes was a person who had just divorced and was preparing to buy a house and start a business. However, the Navigator he bought for more than one million yuan was obviously inconsistent with his persona.

Fortunately, I have more than one home. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Isn’t this useful?

Then Lin Hao contacted Yuanyuan:
"Are you there?"

"Honey, I'm here! Can you let me come to room 1202?" Yuanyuan said attentively.

"Go to the property management first and register my car's license plate with them!" Then Lin Hao looked at the time, thought for a while and said:
"As for other things, I'll check the schedule when I get home!"

"Okay, I'll go and handle the formalities for you right away. If you want to go back to 1202, you can ask the property management in the lobby to open it for you. I'll call him right away!"

"Okay, your arrangement is very thoughtful!" Lin Hao praised Yuanyuan.

To be honest, Yuanyuan's arrangements in all aspects made Lin Hao feel very comfortable. Lin Hao was also considering whether he could arrange for Yuanyuan to be his personal assistant.

After Lin Hao successfully returned to 1202, he found that there was no one next door. At this moment, Lin Hao was very anxious, so he asked Yuanyuan to go upstairs.

After a while, Yuanyuan knocked on Lin Hao's door.

As soon as she came in, Yuanyuan immediately kicked off her high heels, threw away her Chanel bag, and jumped directly, hanging on Lin Hao's body.

"Honey, I miss you..."

Then the room was filled with bright sunshine again, but Yuanyuan was already fading.

After a long time, Lin Hao finally calmed down and looked at the exhausted Yuanyuan and asked:
"Have you chosen your house?"

"Not yet?" Yuanyuan said distressedly: "Why don't you help me choose!"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "These small matters are up to you to decide. I am only responsible for paying you!"

"Hold!"

······
Looking at Yuanyuan who was busy, Lin Hao called Tang Yun and asked about her art exhibition.

"Ms. Tang, how is your exhibition going?"

When Tang Yun found out it was Lin Hao calling, Lin Hao's figure immediately appeared in her mind. For some reason, she felt extremely happy, and even her voice became much lighter.

"It's Mr. Yu. The exhibition is ready. Thank you so much for this!" Tang Yun said gratefully with some excitement:
"Mr. Ma told me that you went to see him in person and specifically asked him to look after us!"

Lin Hao lay comfortably on the sofa and said nonchalantly:
"Hey, it's no big deal, it's just something that comes naturally. Friends should help each other! Yeah~"

Tang Yun felt that there seemed to be a woman's voice coming from Yu Huanshui's side. Thinking that it was working hours now, she asked:
"Mr. Yu, I didn't disturb you!"

"Oh~! No!" Lin Hao then said vaguely: "I just finished my work and still have some finishing work to do. I thought of your art exhibition, so I called you!"

"Oh, is that so!" For some reason, Tang Yun felt very happy when she heard Lin Hao cared about her so much.

Then Tang Yun warmly invited:

"Then Mr. Yu, can you come to my exhibition at 3 pm?"

"It just so happens that Mr. Ma and his team are coming too, so we can exchange new ideas together, and you can also comment on my other previous paintings!"

"Okay then!" Lin Hao glanced at the limp Yuan Yuan, hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I just happened to come and appreciate Miss Tang's masterpiece!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao took a simple shower and left home refreshed. At the same time, he asked Yuanyuan to clean up the house.

Then Lin Hao drove to a gallery in the city.

Lin Hao walked in with a swagger. In the gallery, Lu Fumeng was wearing a pure black suit and black-framed glasses, and looked quite decent.

But at this moment, he was holding a glass of red wine, pointing at Tang Yun's paintings, and trying to have a conversation with several masters in the literary and art circles.

Unfortunately, no one seemed willing to pay attention to him. Lin Hao was very happy to see this. It seemed that his previous words had worked.

"Yu Huanshui, why are you here?" Seeing Lin Hao coming, Lu Fumeng's mouth twitched and he was in an extremely unhappy mood.

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him. "Oh! Master Lin is here!"

"Boss Lin is here!"

"By the way, Master Lin, I have an idea..."

"Boss Lin, I just got a work of art recently, it's..."

The originally quiet meeting place became lively because of Lin Hao's arrival!
Seeing Lin Hao, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, Lu Fumeng became angry and his face turned pale.

Because ever since he met Yu Huanshui two days ago, his luck has not been good. Now Tang Yun's attitude towards him has turned cold, and he has not even slept with Tang Yun in the past two days.

How could he be happy when these crappy artists in front of him ignored him before and fawned over him?

"Everyone, listen to me. Today is Miss Tang's art exhibition. You can appreciate it first. If there is anything else, we can discuss it in private. Everyone, go away!"

After Lin Hao dispersed everyone, he looked at Lu Fumeng who had an unhappy expression!

The moment he looked into Lin Hao's eyes, Lu Fumeng showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Lin Hao earnestly:

"Brother, you are finally here~!"

However, Lin Hao just said calmly: "Where's Miss Tang? I have something to talk to her about!"

When Lu Fumeng heard that Yu Huanshui was looking for his girlfriend, he immediately thought of the cold war between the two of them in the past two days.

"You~!" Lu Fumeng was about to get angry, but he saw Lin Hao's half-smile in his eyes.

Looking around, Lu Fumeng forced himself to calm down. This was Tang Yun's art exhibition. If he made a scene here, it would only make Tang Yun even more dissatisfied with him.

"Mr. Yu is here!" At this moment, Tang Yun, wearing a slim suit, walked towards Lin Hao.

When Lu Fumeng heard that it was Tang Yun who came, he immediately wanted to talk to Tang Yun with a smile on his face. However, Tang Yun simply ignored his presence and greeted Yu Huanshui enthusiastically instead.

"Mr. Yu, you've come at the right time. Let's go to Mr. Ma and his friends. They are evaluating one of my paintings. You can come and appreciate it too!"

Having said that, Tang Yun pulled Lin Hao towards another group of people, leaving Lu Fumeng with a dazed look on his face.

Afterwards, Lin Hao and Tang Yun started chatting with a group of artists. No one at the exhibition cared about Lu Fumeng, and he was targeted like an outsider.

An artist with gray hair said to Lin Hao:
"Xiao Lin, there are all kinds of people in society nowadays, just think of it as you just met the wrong person!"

"That's right, some people just have no moral bottom line!"

"Alas, the quality is worrying, the quality is worrying!"

"Ms. Tang, you'd better stay away from people like that in the future. If you get close to them, you will be sold out by them and count their money for them!"

"Oh, Miss Tang, I wanted to remind you last time. I heard from a friend in the collecting world that Lu Fumeng often played tricks when selling your paintings!"

Instead of talking about the paintings, the group of people gossiped about some of the dirty things that Lu Fumeng had done in the past.

Tang Yun's attitude towards Lu Fumeng became increasingly cold, and these great artists also reminded her that, after all, if someone said something bad about Lu Fumeng, it could be understood as a personal grudge.

But Lu Fumeng was ostracized by a group, and everyone was reminding her to be careful of Lu Fumen, so she had to doubt the problem of Lu Fumeng.

Especially yesterday, a friend in the collecting community told her earnestly that Lu Fumeng had secretly colluded with the buyer.

Only then did Tang Yun realize that Lu Fumeng had used illegal means to embezzle millions of her dollars. She didn't care about the money, but was played like a fool by Lu Fumeng.

We also learned from other artists that Lu Fumeng owed Yu Huanshui 130,000 yuan and deliberately refused to pay it back even though he had the money.

Tang Yun has secretly decided that after this exhibition is over, she will start suing Lu Fumeng and will not let this guy who cheated money and sex off have an easy time.

Also, helping Lin Hao recover the 130,000 yuan, as an artist said, everyone has the money, but it really makes people feel uncomfortable to see this kind of person act like this.

Afterwards, Lin Hao and Tang Yun, together with many artists at the exhibition, praised Tang Yun's paintings, no, they appreciated them, in order to help Tang Yun improve her quality.

······
After the exhibition ended, Lin Hao and Tang Yun saw off a group of artists and collectors.

At this time, Tang Yun looked at Lin Hao, and for some reason her face flushed slightly.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Yun bit her lip and asked nervously:

"Mr. Yu, after your guidance last time, I have decided to continue pursuing the direction of art!"

"But I've hit a bottleneck again. I wonder if you have time to come to my house and give me some advice!"

While speaking, Tang Yun kept looking at Lin Hao's expression, looking forward to Lin Hao's answer.

Lin Hao didn't even think about it and blurted out:
"Sure! I'll go take a look at how my apartment is doing!"

"Okay~!" Tang Yun said excitedly: "Come on, I'll take you home!"

"Why don't you take my car? I drove here too!" Then Lin Hao deliberately said:
"Let Lao Lu drive your car back!"

"Okay!" Tang Yun said indifferently.

Then Tang Yun got into Lin Hao's Lincoln Navigator and headed towards the house on Binjiang Road.

"Yu, Huan, Shui!"

Watching Tang Yun get into Lin Hao's Lincoln Navigator and leave, Lu Fumeng's mouth twitched as he muttered word by word, not knowing what he was thinking.

······
"Mr. Yu, come in with me!"

When Lin Hao and Tang Yun returned home, Tang Yun's face broke into a bright smile, and she quickly welcomed Lin Hao into the studio.

"Ms. Tang, you said you encountered problems in your creation? What's going on?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, two red clouds suddenly rose on Tang Yun's cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly and said:

"Mr. Yu, please follow me!" Tang Yun said as she brought Lin Hao to the studio.

The easel was still placed in the middle of the studio, but the painting on it was less than half finished.

"I wanted to create a work similar to Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit, so I tried to draw Eve, but I always felt that I couldn't draw that kind of charm!"

Tang Yun pointed at her self-portrait on the drawing paper and said with a sad face:

"Look, it has form but no spirit!"

"Eve?" Looking at Tang Yun's self-portrait, it seemed half-covered and concealed, and in her hand she was holding an apple that had been bitten.

Lin Hao was stunned at first, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. He knew what Tang Yun was thinking. She might be in heat and want to eat the forbidden fruit.

To ordinary people, the expression of artists is always so vague, but to experts, it is so straightforward.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao smiled and asked, "Miss Tang, have you ever been in love?"

"Ah? We've talked about it!" Then he frowned.

"Were you talking about this with Lu Fumeng before? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Tang Yun asked in confusion, a little dazed.

Lin Hao shook his head and said in the most straightforward words:
"You and Lu Fumeng are not in a relationship, you are just roommates living together, and he is just your business partner.

"No, he's not even a partner. He's just a greedy blood-sucking worm that parasitizes you!"

Tang Yun wanted to embezzle her money, so she used sweet words to sleep with her Lu Fumeng.

Thinking of this guy who cheated people for money and sex, Tang Yun felt disgusted with him and felt that she was not clean.

"Then what is true love?" Tang Yun hugged Lin Hao's arm and asked for advice.

At this time, Lin Hao started to PUA Tang Yun again, and then talked freely:
"It is a kind of spiritual communication and synchronization of consciousness. One can give everything for the other person, accept the other person's strengths, and tolerate the other person's weaknesses!"

"And they have a common understanding of certain things, such as a desire for certain things, and what we often call a tacit understanding!"
