Chapter 565 Take the initiative
The phone beeped. Lin Fan glanced at the message and smiled. "Look how much your daughter cares about me. She asked me how I'm doing."
"Hmph, is it possible that she's worried about me too, and is only asking through you out of respect?"
Zhao Xingmin felt a little uncomfortable and sneered.
"It's possible. I can feel that she still cares about you, but her personality doesn't allow her to express it directly."
Lin Fan rarely refrained from joking and nodded seriously.
Hearing this, Zhao Xingmin fell silent, with a complicated expression on his face.
"What can I do to repair our relationship?"
Zhao Xingmin was silent for a long time before finally speaking, his voice a little dry: "You should take the initiative. She's too stubborn to take that step first. Besides, what happened before was indeed your fault."
While replying to Zhao Ziqing's message, Lin Fan suggested, "Okay, I'll give it a try." He looked up and asked Zhao Xingmin, "Dad, haven't you and Mom been in touch for a long time?"
"Why are you asking me? Why don't you ask Ziqing?" Zhao Xingmin raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"I asked her last time."
"and then?"
"She was driving at the time and said that if I asked one more question, she would die with me." Lin Fan said helplessly.
Zhao Xingmin twitched his lips slightly; this was his daughter's style. "Xiao Fan, I'm driving too. If you ask me another question, I'll die with you."
"Okay, I won't say anymore." Lin Fan rolled his eyes and decided not to ask any more questions.
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said."
Zhao Xingmin said earnestly, "We should let go of the past and look forward. As a young person, you should understand this principle even more."
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! I'd better drive carefully." Lin Fan didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore and continued to send messages to Zhao Ziqing.
About half an hour later, Zhao Xingmin sent Lin Fan to the villa.
"Look, this is home. No matter when you come back, there will always be a light on for you." Lin Fan said to Zhao Xingmin.
"Is it the same when you go home?" Zhao Xingmin asked casually.
Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly changed the subject: "Why don't you come up and sit for a while?"
"No, I have something to do. Let's do it another day." Zhao Xingmin hesitated for a moment, but he was more worried about how to face his daughter.
"Okay, then be careful on the road." Lin Fan didn't force it, got out of the car and walked into the villa.
In the room on the second floor, Zhao Ziqing was staring at the Bentley outside through the gap in the curtains, with a complex emotion on her face.
The car drove away slowly a few minutes after Lin Fan entered the villa.
Zhao Ziqing withdrew her gaze and walked downstairs. In the living room, Lin Fan was drinking water. Seeing her coming down, he smiled and asked, "Is he gone?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhao Ziqing answered a little nervously.
"Haha, weren't you peeking through the window just now?" Lin Fan's smile became more obvious.
"Why don't you go out and take a look?" Lin Fan asked.
“…” Zhao Ziqing frowned, realizing that he had been exposed.
Lin Fan said softly, "Don't worry, he won't notice. I'm the only one who noticed."
Zhao Ziqing responded, and just as she felt relieved, she realized something and felt a hint of embarrassment spread across her face. She recalled how she had often secretly observed Lin Fan before.
"No matter what, you are father and daughter after all. There is no problem that cannot be solved." Lin Fan tried to mediate.
"He hasn't left yet, he must be thinking about you. I just invited him to come in and sit for a while, he was tempted but didn't dare to come in." Lin Fan continued.
Zhao Ziqing sat down and changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry about our own affairs. How was things tonight?"
"I have had Lu Tianlong's legs broken." Lin Fan lit a cigarette and began to tell his story.
"After dinner, I overturned the table, and then a group of uninvited guests broke in..."
"Have you ever worked as a storyteller before?" Zhao Ziqing interrupted.
"Haha, no, but I might have some talent." Lin Fan replied with a smile.
"Hurry up and talk seriously." Zhao Ziqing urged.
"Okay, I called a team of special forces to help." Lin Fan told the story vividly for more than ten minutes, and finally finished it after drinking a large glass of water.
"You also broke Lu Zhen's leg?" Zhao Ziqing asked in surprise.
"Of course, otherwise you think I would show mercy?"
Lin Fan retorted, "When he said 'childhood sweethearts,' I wanted to flip the table, but your father said he wasn't full yet, so I held back."
Zhao Ziqing thought, if I had gone with them at that time, it would have been very interesting, right?
"They will definitely take crazy revenge, right?" Zhao Ziqing said worriedly.
"Who knows? Let's see whether they choose life or death." Lin Fan shook his head, his eyes inadvertently falling on Zhao Ziqing's neck.
"You've been wearing the Fuxi Qin a lot lately, it looks very nice." Lin Fan said.
"I know." Zhao Ziqing replied.
After a brief exchange, Zhao Ziqing went upstairs. Lin Fan returned to his room, took a shower, and sat on the bed, pulling out nine marriage certificates. He was ready to open the third one.
"This is like opening a blind box. It makes people feel very excited." Lin Fan muttered to himself as he opened the third marriage certificate.
"Xia Zhiyao from the Xia family in Beijing!" Lin Fan read out the name.
"It would be great if you could attach a photo, so that at least I know what the other person looks like. It won't be too late to meet him again when I go to the capital." Lin Fan thought, full of confidence in his master's vision.
He considered searching online for information about Xia Zhiyao, but decided to keep it a secret. After all, the unknown was the most exciting. He put the marriage certificate away and began his cultivation.
In a private hospital, the Lu family father and son were pushed into the ward from the operating room. Although they were not under general anesthesia, they were in poor mental state and looked extremely ugly.
Several important members of the Lu family gathered at the hospital.
"What on earth happened?"
"I heard that some soldiers broke into the Tianlong Hotel?"
Faced with the noisy questions from the crowd, Lu Tianlong felt a headache and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed unconsciously.
"Everyone, be quiet!" he shouted. The noise in the ward instantly died down, and everyone looked at each other, not daring to say another word.
"Tianlong, we are all worried about you!" An elder spoke slowly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"This is no longer just your personal problem, but a matter for the entire Lu family," another added.
"Fourth Uncle, I need some time alone now." Lu Tianlong's voice softened a little.
"Okay, then let's go out first and discuss it after you calm down." The old man nodded in agreement, then signaled for everyone else to leave.
Just as they were about to leave the ward, an old man with a dragon-headed cane slowly walked in. His arrival made everyone present greet him respectfully.
