Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: Xia Qingqing's Photo

"I heard that girl had high expectations, us sending you, was just a test. I didn't think she'd actually turn you down…"

When Lin Yun and Lin Duoer returned home, their father sighed after hearing Lin Duoer's report of the events.

Hearing his dad's words, Lin Yun was speechless.

Turns out, when he had gone, his parents already suspected that the other party might not be interested in him?

Then why did they insist on him going on the blind date? Was it just to humiliate him?

Did parents really do that to their children?

"I told the girl that Little Cloud earns over ten thousand a month, which is no small feat. Could it be because we don't own a house or a car?" Lin's mother frowned and continued, "We should quickly buy a house and a car. Otherwise, we only talk about Little Cloud's achievements, but people can't see it and naturally they might not believe it..."

"Hmph, if she can't see my brother's worth, that is her loss. She will regret it!" Lin Duoer snorted in response.

Seeing their parents discussing what type of house to build, what car to purchase, and even which girl to set him up with, Lin Yun forced a laugh and said, "Dad, Mom, I really have a girlfriend now. Please stop worrying about setting me up on dates."

"Brother, so you have a girlfriend? What does she look like? If brother finds her attractive then she must be terrific! When will you bring her home for us to meet?" Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Lin Duoer's eyes lit up, her excitement palpable.

Witnessing this scene, Lin's father and mother shared a complicated look.

"Little Cloud, on one hand, as your parents, we should be happy for you for having found a girlfriend. But on the other side, we have to inform you about something. Finding a girlfriend from so far away could cause some marriage complications.

Besides, visiting relatives every year may also demand much effort and money, unless after your marriage, less care will be needed…" Lin's mother hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her concern.

On the other side, Lin's father just quietly smoked, remaining silent.

So this was what his parents were thinking.

Lin Yun finally understood.

No wonder his parents knew about he had a girlfriend, and still encouraged him to go on blind dates and were concerned about his matchmaking affairs.

He couldn't blame his parents for not accepting Xia Qingqing.

After all, his parents had been considering his best interests, and they hadn't directly disapproved of Xia Qingqing.

Parents all over the world always worry about their children.

Some matters would become clear only if seen from another perspective.

"Dad, Mom, please don't worry about this, these little things are nothing much to me…" Lin Yun said with a smile.

He was joking. Even if he did not own hundreds of billions, he still had dozens of billions. Casually playing around in the foreign futures market, he could earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. So why would he worry about spending a little money and time?

In the future, as long as nothing unexpected happened, he was going to be the master of the earth.

Ah-choo.

That thought had struck him like a bolt from the blue.

However, in the future, as long as nothing happened to him, this was a sure thing.

The Cosmic Trading System was too awesome.

And the resources of the earth were too abundant.

It would not take him long to develop.

"Dad, Mom, don't you think you're overthinking this a bit? It's such a rare thing to meet someone you like these days. Given that my brother found a girlfriend, you guys should just be happy for him!

Talking about future relative visits and the amount of effort and money it would need, aren't you guys underestimating my brother's capability!" Lin Duoer dramatically rolled her eyes as she expressed this viewpoint.

"Little Cloud, if you're so insistent, as your parents, we obviously won't hinder your way. As long as the other party doesn't present any problems, we won't disapprove. Whatever they demand, we will do our best to meet…" Lin's father sighed and said.

"I'm just worried about their demands being too high. I've heard that the dowry in the south is rather extravagant. If they happen to ask us to buy a house in the city, I'm afraid Little Cloud's savings won't be enough…" Lin's mother lightly nodded and sighed.

Building a house in our small town would be easier. It would cost two to three hundred thousand max. But if they asked us to buy a house in a city, we won't be able to manage that. No matter how much savings Little Cloud has, it probably wouldn't be enough for the down payment, let alone the whole price.

Even though they lived in a village, they were not naive about the realities of city living.

How hard it would be for Little Cloud then?

If that were the case, they would rather Lin Yun marry a local girl. She wouldn't need to be particularly beautiful but should be pragmatic and down-to-earth.

"Dad, Mom, you guys just relax, I can handle all of this. Also, Qingqing's family is also from the rural areas. She has a great personality and is not hard to get along with. Once she comes here, you'll know what I mean after meeting her," Lin Yun said with a laugh.

"Her family is also from a village?" Lin's mother's eyes lit up.

"That's great, that's great." Lin's mother kept nodding her head.

Unlike some people who hope for their sons to marry a city girl, or preferably a girl with better conditions to brag about, Lin's mother preferred Lin Yun to marry a village girl. With lesser differences between them, fewer problems were likely to arise.

Life was for living, not for flaunting to others.

If Lin Yun ended up marrying a city girl, problems in their life perspectives might arise, making their future lives difficult, and that would not be good.

"Brother, do you have any photos of your wife? Show them to Dad and Mom!" At this moment, Lin Duoer was tugging at Lin Yun's sleeve, coquettishly.

"Yes, let me find one for you guys." Lin Yun laughed.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and started looking for some photos of Xia Qingqing to show his sister and parents.

"Thi-this-this is my sister-in-law?" Immediately upon seeing the photo, Lin Duoer stammered in surprise.

The girl in the photo wasn't much older than her, but her beauty was really something else!

She was even prettier than the many female celebrities they regularly saw on TV...

Lin Duoer had always believed that her brother's girlfriend must not be bad, but she never expected her to be this stunning. For a moment, she was somewhat in disbelief, even subconsciously thought, could her brother have shown them the wrong photo?

Did he accidentally show them a photo of a celebrity from his phone?

But after thinking carefully, it seemed there were no female celebrities who looked like this.

"Is this your girlfriend?" On seeing Xia Qingqing's photo, Lin's parents were also taken aback.

"Yes, her name is Xia Qingqing." Seeing the surprised expressions on his sister and parents' faces, Lin Yun nodded and answered with a smile.

As he spoke, he moved his finger and swiped out more photos, each one was of Xia Qingqing, each one just as beautiful.

"Gasp—" Lin Duoer and Lin's parents gasped.

Only then were they sure that Lin Yun had not made them look at the wrong photos.

But this girl was just too beautiful.

Soon after, they were all extraordinarily pleased.

Though they thought they wouldn't mind looks too much, when they saw the girl Lin Yun was dating was so beautiful, like a fairy, they were truly delighted.

"Her family is from the countryside?" Lin's mother asked again, unable to believe it.

The girl named Xia Qingqing shown in these photos was so beautiful, it didn't seem like she was from the countryside.

"Yes." Lin Yun nodded.

"Is her personality nice?" Lin's mother asked again.

"Qingqing has a great personality, she is also a student at Shen University." Lin Yun uttered, nodding with a smile.

"Shen University? That's a prestigious university! Brother, our sister-in-law is really from Shen University?" Lin Duoer's eyes widened.

As a high school senior, she and her classmates always discussed which universities were good. Shen University, a very famous one, she naturally knew about.

She never expected her brother's girlfriend to not only be as beautiful as an angel but also a student of a prestigious university.

"She's a student at a prestigious university? Good, good, good..." Lin's mother's smile reached ear to ear.

Her son had found such a beautiful girlfriend, who was a student at a prestigious university and had a nice personality too. What else could she ask for?

"Little Cloud, does she really like you?" Unlike others, Lin's father remained calm and asked thoughtfully.

"Dad, Qingqing and I have known each other for two to three years. We are in love, so don't worry about this point. She had some problems at her home to handle these days, otherwise, she would have come with me. She will join us once her issues at home are sorted." Lin Yun said with a faint smile.

"My brother is so charming, finding such a good sister-in-law! Brother, will sister-in-law be coming over these few days?" Lin Duoer asked, extremely excited.

She felt incredibly proud that her brother had found such a great girlfriend.

Oh yes, she decided, when she went back to school, she would definitely show off.

Hehe, she'd let her friends, classmates see just how extraordinary her brother was.

There were some people who were skeptical of her brother's abilities...

They said that while her brother was good at school, he might not be able to handle the outside world.

Hmph.

Her brother found such a beautiful girlfriend, how could he be incapable?

"Dad, Mom, the girl you introduced to my brother today is definitely not as good as my sister-in-law. She even looked down on my brother, whoever tried to set him up, you must go and show them the photo of my sister-in-law, and frustrate them..." At that moment, as if she had thought of something, Lin Duoer hastily looked at her parents and said with a mix of resentment and joy.

"Do we really need to do that, wouldn't it seem inappropriate..." Lin's father responded with a weak smile.

Compared to Lin Duoer's optimism, he had seen more. The higher one stood, the harder one might fall. If Lin Yun were able to marry the girl in the photo, that would indeed be wonderful. But after boasting about it, what if they didn't end up together?

Then the ones laughing last might be numerous.

Besides, the girl's aunt was acquainted with them, it wouldn't seem appropriate for them to act like this.

"In any case, about today's matchmaking for Little Cloud, we have to tell the other family." After thinking for a moment, Lin's mother said.

Then, after a little more conversation with Lin Yun and the others, she turned and left.

She visited the family of her friend, who lived in the same village, and explained Lin Yun's situation from his earlier arranged meeting.

About ten minutes later, at the house of Lin mother's friend.

"Gui Zhi, I'm so sorry, my niece was too spoiled by my brother's family, she probably didn't find Little Cloud appealing..." Upon seeing Lin's mother arrive, her friend spoke apologetically.
