SRGA Chapter 77: Mom, My Girlfriend is Bingning
Chapter 77: Mom, My Girlfriend is Bing Ning (1/6)
After receiving the house and car from Zhao Xianglin, Lin Tian was content as he saw him off.
In his lifetime, Zhao Xianglin had made many investments, some of which had yielded astonishing returns. But his intuition told him that giving Lin Tian a car and a house might be the best investment he had ever made in his life.
*Ring, ring.*
Lin Tian dialed his mom's number.
"Son, what's up?" his mom Chen Juan's voice quickly came through.
Lin Tian smiled, "Mom, your birthday is in about ten days. How about you and dad come to S City for a few days? I have a surprise for you."
"You found a girlfriend?" Chen Juan guessed.
"Sort of," he didn't have a girlfriend, but he had a wife now.
Chen Juan exclaimed in surprise, "Son, did you really find a girlfriend? You mentioned before that your work was going well, and now you've found a girlfriend. It seems like praying to the Bodhisattva for you worked."
"We won't come over."
"You haven't been together for long, and your dad and I are both rural folks. We don't want to scare the girl away."
Lin Tian reassured her, "Mom, don't worry. She knows our situation, and she's the one who asked me to invite you over for a few days."
"Huh?" Chen Juan was taken aback.
"Son, in that case, we definitely shouldn't come. It seems a bit inappropriate for her to want to meet us so soon after you've just gotten together."
"Could it be that Bing Ning helped you find a good job, and now the girl thinks our family is not ordinary?"
"Did you tell her that our family is quite ordinary, so she wants to verify it?"
Lin Tian remained silent for a moment, then said, "Mom, she is Bing Ning."
"Huh?" Chen Juan was stunned.
"The Luo family, Bing Ning?" Lin Tian confirmed, "Yes, she's become my girlfriend, and she knows our family's situation very well, so you don't need to worry about that."
"It's Bing Ning who asked me to invite you to S City for a few days."
Chen Juan said in a daze, "How is that possible between you and her?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"This is something I can't possibly get wrong," Lin Tian chuckled, "Mom, send me your ID numbers, and I'll buy you plane tickets."
"I'll book tickets for the day before your birthday."
Chen Juan took a deep breath, "Son, let's not rush with the plane tickets. Let's discuss it with your dad when he comes back tonight."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Juan looked dazed.
She was somewhat incredulous.
Her son wasn't bad, but he wasn't exceptionally outstanding either. How could he be compatible with someone like Luo Bingning, a girl as beautiful as a celestial?
...
"Sweetie Bunny got arrested?"
Lin Tian received a message from Mr. Wu.
Quickly, Lin Tian found online that Sweetie Bunny had been arrested during her livestream, and over a hundred thousand people had seen her being taken away by the police.
"Mr. Wu, let's talk about the livestream later."
Lin Tian replied to Mr. Wu's message.
Being slandered and losing millions of followers in a day was a bit hard to take, to be honest. Recently, he didn't feel like livestreaming anymore.
He wasn't lacking money now.
He had signed an SS-level contract with Huayin, with almost no restrictions. He could take a month off from livestreaming without any issues.
"Shocking, Master Lin turns out to be a master of the erhu."
"Sweetie Bunny spreading rumors and slandering Master Lin led to her arrest by the police."
"Master Lin donated over 25 million yuan he received in donations to an orphanage."
Lin Tian glanced at his microblog, where half of the top ten trending topics were about him.
"Master Lin must be feeling heartbroken, sigh."
"Twenty-five million followers, losing millions in a day, wouldn't you feel depressed? Fortunately, I staunchly support Master Lin."
"Master Lin, I'm sorry!"
Lin Tian then checked Huayin.
His followers had dropped back to twenty million, still a gap from the previous twenty-five million, but the number was quickly rising.
This backlash cost him millions of followers, but the incident's publicity might actually help him gain even more in the end.
"Let's not rush with the updates. Let's wait until I surpass thirty million followers."
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Boom!"
The twelve-cylinder engine let out a muffled roar as Lin Tian drove away from the villa in the Lamborghini Huracan that Zhao Xianglin had given him.
Arriving at the mall, Lin Tian went to a high-end jewelry store.
Luo Bingning had previously given him clothes and shoes, and now that she didn't have money, she even gave him a massage just to buy a gift for his mother.
It was impossible not to be moved by that.
He and Luo Bingning had registered their marriage, but they had agreed to a three-year trial marriage period beforehand, so it didn't matter if Luo Bingning didn't buy a gift.
For an ordinary girl, a ten-minute massage for two thousand yuan might be a coveted luxury. But Luo Bingning was the daughter of the Luo family.
Not to mention the wealth of the Luo family, her own company was valued at over two hundred million.
"Hello, how much is this necklace?"
Lin Tian was interested in a nice-looking sapphire necklace.
"Sir, this necklace is priced at eight hundred and eighty thousand yuan."
Lin Tian's mouth twitched slightly. Wow, a necklace that costs as much as a luxury car. Rich people's stuff is really expensive.
"Well, well, all the skills I acquired were brushed off from Bingning, so I should give her a gift to repay her."
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Is there any discount?"
Lin Tian asked.
With something so expensive, even a small discount could save a lot of money.
"Sorry, sir, all the jewelry in our store is sold at marked prices, and there are no discounts for either new or old customers."
"Would you like me to show you some other designs?"
Lin Tian shook his head. "No need, I'll take this one."
Quickly, eighty-eight thousand yuan was swiped away.
Surprisingly, Lin Tian didn't feel much of a ripple in his heart.
After all, compared to the large donation he made earlier in the morning, this necklace was not even one-tenth of it.
Compared to the house and car he received, this necklace wasn't even one-hundredth.
"Bingning, I've arrived."
In the evening, Lin Tian arrived at Luo Bingning's company. He sent her a message, and Luo Bingning smiled slightly as she prepared to come downstairs.
"Boss, there's a customer who's difficult to handle."
"I've arranged to have dinner with him tonight. Boss, could you come along? If you're there, it'll definitely be no problem."
Guo Liang knocked on the door and entered Luo Bingning's office.
Luo Bingning frowned slightly. "Manager Guo, handle this yourself. If you can't handle it, then you might as well resign."
Guo Liang's complexion changed.
"Boss, from what I know, your boyfriend's conditions are quite ordinary. His family background and abilities are completely mismatched with yours."
Summoning his courage, Guo Liang said.
Luo Bingning replied calmly, "Manager Guo, in my eyes, there's no difference between a hundred thousand in assets and a billion in assets."
"Do you understand?"
"As for abilities, my boyfriend's abilities far surpass yours by miles."
Guo Liang's face turned red.
"In that case, I choose to withdraw my investment!"
With a darkening expression, Guo Liang said, realizing that his chances of winning Luo Bingning's affection were extremely low at this point.
There was no need to waste any more time.
"Withdraw your investment? According to the contract, if you haven't held it for enough time, withdrawing your investment now will only allow you to withdraw your original funds."
Frowning, Luo Bingning said.
"Fine."
Guo Liang nodded.
The company's valuation had already risen, but there were provisions in the contract that required holding for a certain period of time before the new valuation could be used.
