Quinn, belatedly realizing what was happening, gradually darkened his expression.
"Keep dreaming! Don't even think about it! If my father-in-law weren't here today, I would have torn you to pieces."
Mo Ran could see that her boss's face was as black as ink, so she decided to stop provoking him for the time being. "Fine, whatever, I'll just daydream every day then."
Quinn: "Continue if you want to die."
Mo Ran zipped up his mouth. "Boss, calm down."
Half an hour later
The two returned to the living room.
The temperature inside the villa was very comfortable, a stark contrast to the outside temperature.
They no longer need electricity from elsewhere; simply placing an air-to-electricity device on the roof of their house solves the problem once and for all, eliminating any worries about energy.
This invention also came from Quinn's Academy of Sciences of Sciences, so Lia didn't know exactly how rich Quinn was, because he had never counted how many zeros there were.
Where did you just go?
Quinn had just stepped into the living room when he received a grumbling from Lia.
He had just figured out how to introduce Quinn to his father, but the guy was so considerate that he left Quinn to chat with his father. Lia was afraid of an awkward silence.
Fortunately, there were many misunderstandings between them that needed to be cleared up, and it took some time.
By now, Lia had a general idea of what Yuze Hu'er had said, but he could also tell that his father was hiding something from him, such as how his Spiritual Power had been downgraded. Hu'er just smiled and said he didn't remember.
Lia thought it would be foolish to believe him. If his father were even a little bit of a scumbag, he would feel better. The key point is that his father is not only not a scumbag, but his marriage to Qinglang was also fake, so there was no need for a divorce, and even disputes were avoided.
At first glance, her father was really amazing. Lia thought that she herself would never have come up with such a brilliant idea.
No wonder his dad never checks his account; he's been letting money run all along.
Collecting her thoughts, Lia smiled and introduced the Hu'er, "Dad, this is my partner, Huo Cixiao Quinn."
Quinn approached the two and bowed to the seated Yuze Hu'er with a junior's salute.
Like Klein, Quinn was also quite curious about the protagonist of this legendary story. Now that he saw her, he understood why his Lia was so beautiful; she had strong genes.
With the addition of gray hair, the father and son also began to resemble each other by two or three points.
"Dear Father-in-law, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you've had a long journey. Please rest assured that I will take good care of Lia and will always be loyal to him and protect him. His future is bright."
Yuze Hu'er eyes slightly. "Are you a python?"
Quinn gave a soft "hmm," and Mo Ran, being the most unromantic of the occasion, chimed in, "You're the only one who isn't fluffy, haha."
Quinn's sharp gaze swept over the gloating fellow, Mo Ran, sensing the icy chill, immediately shut his mouth.
"Yes, Father-in-law."
Originally expecting his father-in-law to find fault, Yuze Hu'er, who didn't play by the rules, said unexpectedly, "That's right, he's a very powerful orc. I heard you have 3S+ combat strength. With that kind of strength, protecting Lia shouldn't be a problem."
Quinn: "!!!" He knew his father-in-law had good judgment!
Yuze Hu'er may not be good at much else, but he does have a good eye for orcs. Although Quinn in front of him is powerful, he is also a reasonable orc.
He has a volatile temper, but he is also calm and composed, which makes him seem sincere. He is probably an orc who knows how to take care of his partner.
As a former singer and actor, Hu'er could tell if there were any signs of acting. Fortunately, Quinn didn't. Judging from his mental fluctuations, the kid was probably nervous.
Thinking of this, Yuze Hu'er, finally revealed a gentle smile. "Let's sit down and talk."
To accommodate his brother, Mo Ran sat down next to Quinn.
Part of the reason was to ease the tension for him, and also because he wanted to take the opportunity to mock the utterly arrogant and domineering Quinn for being so honest at this moment.
It has to be said that Quinn always knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and he even knows how to act obediently in front of his father-in-law.
He pursed his lips, amused, and observed his expression.
Hu'er frowned slightly when he saw the two of them standing too close.
Even though I know these two are colleagues, I still feel uncomfortable. Lia is right there; couldn't they at least keep their distance?
" Mo Ran, bring me my personal computer."
Mo Ran hadn't expected to be called out. He slowly stood up and said, "Okay, just a moment." He had taken the Hu'er to take a bath earlier, so it must have fallen into the bathroom.
Sitting to the side, Lia sensed the subtle atmosphere in the air. Yes, her father's story was probably going to continue.
A brief, trusting glance between the two sent Lia's thoughts racing. He was already writing a book in his mind called "An Idol Falls from the Sky | Young Master Mo's Darling," but in the end, he could only consider the occasion and not let his father feel even the slightest bit embarrassed.
Half an hour later, Lia finally understood why her father had asked Mo Ran to take the personal terminal. After adding her father's contact information, her father transferred a sum of money to her that made her dizzy.
"It's doubled! Dad, how can you be so rich!"
Lia was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
Looking at her cub's round, chubby body and bright black eyes, Hu'er patted his head. "These were all left to you by your mother. They were only thawed after you came of age."
I heard you're getting married soon, and I wasn't sure how to give you the money, so I thought I'd transfer it to you now so I could feel at ease."
Lia: "Don't worry, Dad. You'll have to back me up then, don't even think about slacking off. Also, have you transferred all the money to me?"
Hu'er long, thick, snow-white eyelashes trembled slightly. "I left behind a house and some retirement savings, that's enough."
Lia tilted her head, "Dad, do you forget how old you are? Even with B Rank Spiritual Power, you still have hundreds of years to live."
Hu'er: "... So, darling doesn't want Daddy to retire? But Daddy's been a couch potato for decades. Then Daddy'll just have to keep looking for a kept woman."
Everyone: "..." How dare you say that!
Upon hearing this, neither Lia nor Quinn panicked, but someone else did, but couldn't reveal any flaws, so he could only anxiously wait.
As the saying goes, fortunes change. Quinn gave Mo Ran a meaningful look, his eyes conveying, "You're no good, trash. Give up now. You think you can be a generation older than me? Dream on!"
Confused by the undercurrents between them, Lia paused for a moment before saying, "Dad, I'm perfectly capable of supporting you. The money Mom left is for you; she probably meant it as a reward for raising me."
He raised his hand, moved it slightly, and the money returned along its original path.
The old Hu'er father was on the verge of tears. "That little bit of money isn't much. Keep it for yourself. You need to improve your Spiritual Power and combat abilities. Buy more mechs later; high-level mechs are very expensive."
Lia sighed, "It won't cost that much. Besides, if I really wanted to make money, I could probably be richer than you. And, consider this my way of showing my respect to you, okay?"
Hu'er hadn't expected her little one to be so stubborn, and in the end, she only said, "Alright, Daddy will keep it for you for now."
With such a large sum of money, Quinn suddenly wondered if he didn't have enough...
I never expected my father-in-law to be able to pull out such a huge sum of money that could immediately propel him onto the rich list.
Mo Ran, standing to the side, didn't seem to mind. Whether he was living off his idol or his idol was living off him, it didn't matter, since neither of them had a good stomach.
