Chapter 2: The Dinner
Riding in a Rolls-Royce, Lin Ran arrived at a restaurant that didn't look so high-end on time before five o'clock.
When Kelsen opened the car door for him, Lin Ran, who was dressed in a black slim dress, stepped out of the car. Seeing this, the security guard on the side hurriedly stepped forward to guide the driver to drive the car to the parking lot.
When he came to the door of the restaurant, a waiter asked Lin Ran about his reservation application, and Kelsen stepped forward in time to report the room number that Lin Ran's mother had booked in advance.
After repeated confirmations, Lin Ran successfully entered the restaurant.
A restaurant that doesn't look so fancy on the outside, but there's something special on the inside.
Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and then with just the right stone carvings for embellishment.
The whole Chinese architectural style, quite a bit of antique taste, at a glance is to spend a lot of money, please master design. It's quite in line with Lin Ran's father's taste.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Lin Ran came to the second floor and found the private room booked by his mother.
Opening the door, he finally saw the mother of this world.
Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her who was looking down at the information, she had a graceful and elegant temperament, a typical Chinese woman.
As if sensing something, the woman looked up at the door, and her eyes happened to meet Lin Ran. A motherly smile appeared on her face in an instant, "What are you doing standing stupidly, come and sit." β
Qin Xijin, who was wearing a burgundy dress, got up and came to the door, pulling Lin Ran to sit beside her.
She put the documents on the table into her bag, and then began to complain to Lin Ran: "Your damn dad went to the dinner organized by Sir Snowton." Cruelly left our mother and son, and will help him receive a business partner later. β
"Business partners? Female? β
According to the memory in his brain, Lin Ran boldly guessed that his father did not deliberately leave them and run to the banquet. Most likely, his mother heard that a female partner had asked his father to dinner alone, and took the initiative to ask to participate in his place.
Qin Xijin smiled and didn't continue, but turned his head and talked about his return to China.
"I discussed with your father about your return to China, and he supported your decision. He has contacted a private high school in China, and you can return to China in a few days. β
Speaking of this, Qin Xijin's face was full of reluctance, and her eyes were a little moist.
The mother of the child is worried, the child who has lived by her side since she was a child, and now she has gone directly to the country that is half the world away, how can she not worry.
Just when Lin Ran didn't know how to comfort her, Kelsen's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, young master." The people of the Ryoma Group are here. β
Qin Xijin in the box was still a sad mother just now, and in the next second, she became a strong business woman. The speed at which his face changed made Lin Ran breathtaking.
He was a little skeptical that everything just now was her mother acting, but in fact, he secretly wished that he would leave quickly so that he could live a two-person world with his father.
The two of them straightened their clothes, and the door to the room opened.
Walking in was an Asian lady with a slender figure and an extremely beautiful face. She was dressed in a white floor-length dress, and her jet-black hair was waist-length, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility.
Behind the woman was a tall bodyguard wearing sunglasses. Judging by his appearance and behavior, Lin Ran felt at first glance that this person was most likely an American and should be discharged from the army.
Like Kelsen, the bodyguard stood guard at the door after dropping the woman into the room.
Closing the door, Kelsen looked at the man and said hello, "Hello, my name is Kelson." is a housekeeper. β
After hearing Kelsen's self-introduction, the man took off his sunglasses and said, "Hi, hello butler." My name is Steele and I am a driver. β
"Driver? You're not a bodyguard? Kelsen was a little surprised to hear Steele's introduction.
It was obviously not the first time Steele had heard this kind of surprise, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, you can think I'm a bodyguard." At least that's what I think. β
After saying that, he put on his sunglasses and stood guard at the door like a bodyguard with his hands folded in front of his abdomen.
In the room, Lin Ran and her mother returned to their seats, and waited until the woman was seated before they began to introduce themselves.
Qin Xijin looked at the woman and introduced herself and Lin Ran in English with a smile on her face. And Lin Ran was arranged to boil water and make tea for the three of them.
The woman waited until Qin Xijin finished speaking before she began to introduce herself, and her very standard London accent made Lin Ran think that she was a native of the British.
"Hello Mrs., my name is Kaoru Ryoma, and I am from the Ryoma family in Tokyo, Japan. We ask for your understanding that this visit is a bit abrupt. β
After speaking, Ryoma Kaoru got up and bowed very respectfully to Qin Xijin.
Qin Xijin was afraid that she would not dare to accept such a big gift, so she hurriedly turned sideways and helped her up, "It's okay, the Ryoma family has a close business relationship with our family." This time you came to London, we should have received you. β
The two started to blow each other in business while talking, which can be regarded as letting Lin Ran see that there is no man at all when a woman pats a sycophant.
At this moment, Lin Ran's long-dormant system suddenly reacted, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid the gaze of the two of them and focused his consciousness on the system.
[System retrieval completed!] γ
[Detected a high-blooded hybrid near the host, the world is indeed a dragon world!] γ
[Open the main quest: survive in the dragon world and become the strongest dragon slayer!] γ
γReward: Heavens Starter Packγ
[Does the host pick it up?] γ
[Yes / No]
Lin Ran looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and his whole person was stunned.
Especially when I know that I am in the world of the dragon family, the system prompts that there are high-blooded hybrids nearby, which makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.
Think about how you can confront the dragon clan if you are a mortal. He is not Lu Mingfei, there is a little devil Lu Mingze who is helping him open.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran could only pin his hopes on the gift package given by the system.
Looking at the prompt on the screen, Lin Ran silently said in his heart, "Yes, receive the gift package." β
γDing! Reward the Heavens for Fusion Bloodline! γ
[Note 1: In the current world, any half-breed whose host kills independently can fuse all of his bloodlines and spirits.] γ
[Note 2: In the current world, any half-breed whose host participates in the kill, and participates more than 50%, can randomly obtain some of his bloodlines or spirits.] γ
[Note 3: More features are waiting to be unlocked]
When the system prompt ended, the display in Lin Ran's brain disappeared without a trace, and no matter how he called, it didn't appear.
Just then, he heard someone calling to him, "Be careful, the water is boiling." β
At first, Lin Ran thought that his mother was reminding him, but it didn't sound like it.
He hurriedly raised his head and saw that Kaoru Ryoma had already taken the kettle of boiling water from in front of him and began to make tea very skillfully. A set of smooth operations is dazzling to watch.
Qin Xipan saw that his son had just made a little gaffe, and couldn't help but glance at him, and then asked with a smile in Chinese: "As a Japanese, Ms. Ryoma didn't expect that Mandarin could be spoken so standardly. I don't know, I think you're a Chinese girl! β
Ryoma Kaoru, who was seriously making tea, heard Qin Xijian's question, picked up a cup of brewed tea and put it in front of her, and replied with a smile: "Chinese is a compulsory subject in our family, and I have been learning it since I was a child. β
"Oh, is it? Then it seems that we can communicate more in the future. β
This time, the two switched to Chinese and started the topic that they had just not finished talking about.
