He smelled strongly of alcohol and had obviously drunk a lot.
He saw his wife, daughter and Li Lin sitting silently in the living room.
Elro, who hadn't realized anything was wrong, staggered over to Karina and sat down. He burped and said,
"My dear, what did you do after you asked me to send Cadwald away?"
He glanced back and forth at the expressionless Kalina, Li Lin opposite her, and Caitlin, who kept lowering her head as if she had done something wrong, and seemed to have sensed something was wrong.
Then, he finally noticed Li Lin and Caitlin's tightly clasped hands, and his brows furrowed deeply. "You...?"
"You finally discovered the problem, dear." Kalina said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
This was a complaint to her husband that he was too focused on socializing tonight and neglected his daughter.
"Tonight, the housekeeper told me that they danced and kissed." Karina took another sip of tea and said in a calm voice.
Because Karina is the head of the Jiraman family, the housekeeper or servants usually only report to her when something happens.
Only when she was away would Elro be informed of what was happening at home.
So he had no idea what was happening in the reception hall next door tonight.
Elro's drunkenness suddenly faded, and he looked shocked. "When... did you start?"
"If we want to completely confirm the relationship... it's tonight." Li Lin responded calmly.
Elro looked at his wife beside him, somewhat bewildered, "This..."
"At tonight's coming-of-age ceremony, I gave Kate the most precious gift, and confirmed our relationship in front of everyone..."
Before Karina could speak, Li Lin quickly expressed his attitude while observing the expressions of Caitlin's parents.
Among them, the most important is Caitlin's mother.
Karina took another sip of tea and said, "So, your relationship was already very ambiguous..."
"Mom, I..."
"I didn't ask you, Kate."
When Caitlin nervously wanted to say something, Kalina glared at her calmly and interrupted her.
Then, Caitlin's worried gaze shifted to Li Lin beside her.
She could feel sweat oozing from his palms.
Li Lin was not as calm as he appeared.
"That's right, Madam Karina. I have no reason to deny that."
"Li Lin..." Caitlin's eyes became even more worried.
"So, what do you think qualifies you to be worthy of the Gilaman family, my only daughter?"
Mrs. Karina's eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to express a questioning tone.
"Don't forget your performance in the parliament before. You couldn't even control other parliamentary families that were not as good as the Gilaman family..."
"I think whether I am qualified or not should not be left to others to judge." Li Lin interrupted Kalina before she finished speaking.
Then, he handed the dozen or so drawings he had been holding in his hand to the Gilaman couple sitting opposite him.
Kalina frowned slightly, a hint of anger flashing across her face. "My daughter is not a commodity. Do you think you can bribe me with these blueprints?"
Elro on the side also looked unhappy.
"It's not too late to take a look before you make your judgment."
Li Lin stood up and placed the drawings in front of them, his tone still neither humble nor arrogant.
Kalina suppressed her anger, frowned, picked up the drawing and glanced at it casually.
But the next second, her attention was instantly attracted by the content of the drawing.
Elro noticed his wife's strange behavior and picked up one of the pictures to take a look.
This picture is exactly Li Lin’s conception of artificial satellites...
Elro took a deep breath and hurriedly exchanged the drawings with his wife.
There were Hextech Gunblades, Hextech Rocket Belts, Hextech Ice Lance, and other various Hextech gadgets.
Not only that, he also put drawings of gasoline motorcycles and cars in it.
But the Gilamans, who didn't know much about oil, didn't pay much attention to it.
These weapons and unknown means of transportation are completely inferior to walkie-talkies, communication base stations and communication satellites, which can push the times forward and even be said to be incredible technologies.
"this……"
As an excellent Hextech craftsman, Elro was so shocked that he was speechless.
Compared to her husband, Karina, who has better qualities as a parliamentarian, controls her emotions better and does not show any obvious changes in her expression.
"I think this should be enough as a gift for me to marry Kate in the future..."
Li Lin took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, Kate and I are in love with each other. I think given your attitudes, you two should respect Kate's wishes."
His brown-black pupils met the gazes of Elro and Karina respectively.
Their gazes all shifted to their daughter.
Following Li Lin's secret signal, Caitlin raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her.
Encouraged by his gaze, Caitlin mustered up the courage to say to her parents, "Li Lin is right. We are indeed in love..."
The room fell into silence for a long time again, until Li Lin spoke again:
"Of course, I can give the Jiraman family more than just this. I also have a promise."
He paused for a moment. "It won't be long before I make the Gilaman family the first family in Piltover..."
