Inside the room, Gu Yanyan rested her chin on her hand, looking at the two men in front of her with a somewhat helpless expression.
From the moment they sat down inside until now, these two grown men have been stubborn, not uttering a single word.
"Are you guys having a contest to see who can glare someone to death?"
Finally, Gu Yanyan couldn't help but speak up.
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions shifted. Mr. Gu withdrew his gaze and calmly drank a cup of tea.
"Kid, you're a bit too mature for your age!"
It's amazing that a young person of this age could withstand his pressure.
Lin Batian calmly replied, "Uncle, you flatter me. I've just suffered a little earlier than most people."
Mr. Gu raised an eyebrow: "I heard you own two restaurants?"
Lin Batian nodded: "Yes."
The fact that the other party came to see him meant that they had thoroughly investigated his background.
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "It's alright, but your family background is average. Where did you get the start-up capital?"
Lin Batian smiled calmly: "Yan Yan lent it to me when I was in high school. I used it to buy funds and made a little money."
Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes and glanced at his daughter: "Daughter, how come I didn't know about this?"
Gu Yan Yan rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't it up to me how I spend my money? Dad, don't you even let me spend your money?"
Mr. Gu choked, his lips twitching: "Of course not."
Gu Yanyan said proudly, "And Brother Lin made over a million yuan with the money I borrowed. Dad, you probably couldn't have done that when you were eighteen, right?"
Mr. Gu was taken aback and looked at Lin Batian in surprise.
He made over a million yuan by simply investing in one fund in just one month. Is this really something an 18-year-old high school student could do?
Lin Batian raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Uncle, you don't need to look at me like that. Compared to your daily fortune, what I'm doing is just small-time stuff."
These words made Mr. Gu feel very comfortable.
"What the kid said is right. One should be humble."
After a pause, Mr. Gu returned to the main topic, his face serious as he said, "Kid, I'll be blunt, you're not good enough for my daughter!"
"You surnamed Gu! What do you mean?!"
Gu Yanyan was the first to stand up, glaring angrily at her father.
The latter glared at her: "We're talking, you sit down and mind your own business."
Gu Yanyan walked over and sat down next to Lin Batian, took his arm, and said defiantly, "My feelings are none of your business. Who I like is my freedom. Anyone who dares to interfere, I'll fight them!"
Mr. Gu stared intently at the arm his daughter was clinging to, wishing he could chop it off with a knife.
He sighed and said, "Daughter, listen to your father, you two are not a good match. How can a country boy with no background be worthy of you?"
His Gu family is one of the top families in Kyoto. Even if he wants to find a partner, he should be of similar social standing!
Gu Yanyan sneered: "Then tell me, Dad, if he's not good enough for me, who is?"
Mr. Gu said calmly, "I know countless talented young people, and every single one of them is worth over 100 million. This kid just owns a few small shops; he can't compare at all."
Gu Yanyan laughed angrily, "Those are just spoiled brats who inherit the family fortune, a bunch of good-for-nothings. Dad, how dare you say that?"
"That's just good fortune," Mr. Gu replied casually.
Lin Batian, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Uncle seems to care a lot about one's background?"
Mr. Gu looked at him and asked, "If your daughter were kidnapped by a country boy, how would you feel?"
Lin Batian remained silent.
Thinking about that scene, he felt he might break the kid's legs.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
It seems I won't be able to have daughters in the future.
However, Yan Yan has a big butt, so she'll probably have a son.
After a moment of distraction, Lin Batian said, "First of all, I don't believe that one's background determines one's life. Ordinary people may still have a chance to turn their lives around."
Mr. Gu laughed angrily: "How dare you talk such nonsense! If my daughter hadn't lent you money, would you have earned so much money?"
Lin Batian smiled faintly, "That's my skill too, to find such a rich, beautiful, and gentle woman."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan Yan immediately smiled sweetly.
Mr. Gu's face darkened.
Spicy hot pot with cumin!
Did this guy win over his daughter with sweet talk?
"Ten billion! Leave her!"
"Old Gu!!!"
Gu Yanyan's pretty face immediately turned icy cold, and she stared straight at him.
That's outrageous!
Mr. Gu didn't look at her; instead, he stared at Lin Batian.
Lin Batian didn't speak, but picked up the tea on the table and took a small sip.
Mr. Gu tapped the table impatiently.
After a long pause, Lin Batian gave a mocking smile: "Uncle, in your eyes, your daughter is only worth a billion?"
Mr. Gu snorted, "Of course not, it's just a little compensation for you."
The tone was like that of someone giving alms.
Lin Batian said calmly, "In my eyes, Yan Yan is priceless and cannot be replaced by money. Besides, I can earn a mere ten billion in a year!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu's eyes widened: "Are you fucking kidding me? With your current situation, a billion a year?"
Given these conditions, he could at most make a profit of over 100 million a year. Is this kid bragging?
Lin Batian raised an eyebrow: "If I can do it, Uncle, could you give me a chance?"
Mr. Gu looked at him suspiciously: "Is this considered a bet?"
Gu Yanyan immediately said, "Let's bet! I believe in him!"
Mr. Gu: ...
This daughter is completely leaky!
Lin Batian patted the girl's shoulder lightly, then turned to Gu's father and said, "Then let's bet."
Mr. Gu leaned back, his aura as the head of the Gu family reappearing: "What if you lose?"
Lin Batian said, "Whatever Uncle says goes!"
Besides, he can't possibly lose!
Everything is ready, all that's missing is an opportunity!
Mr. Gu sneered, "Fine! Kid, I'll take this bet with you."
He was confident of winning; at worst, he could secretly suppress the opponent.
Lin Batian nodded: "In that case, Uncle, before that, you should not restrict Yan Yan anymore, otherwise it will affect your relationship with your daughter."
Mr. Gu glanced at his daughter silently.
The latter curled his lip.
Mr. Gu: ...
"Hmph! Kid, if you dare lay a hand on my daughter before the bet is honored, I'll break your legs!"
Lin Batian said calmly, "Uncle, take care and don't come back!"
Mr. Gu choked on his words, then snorted coldly and stormed off.
Gu Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then wrapped her arms around Lin Batian's neck and kissed him on the cheek: "Great job!"
Lin Batian said helplessly, "You, you didn't even tell your uncle you were coming."
Gu Yan Yan blinked: "I'm desperate too! When I got home, he was just sitting there so straight. I thought a thief had broken in!"
Lin Batian: ...
