Chapter 76: I can give it to you, but can you take it?

  Xia Xue's father had never imagined such a scene, he was actually expecting Xiao Lin to tear up the check or scold him for selling out his daughter. Xia Xue's father was genuinely hoping that Xia Xue would find someone who loved and cherished her, otherwise, with the Xia family's strong influence, without Xia Xue's father's consent, how could Xia Xue have been able to run away and live on her own?

  When Xiaoxue's father saw her scribbling numbers on the check, he was actually very sad. In the end, his daughter still couldn't find someone who truly loved her.

  But when he heard what Xiao Lin said, Xia Xue's father was slightly stunned, then saw Xiao Lin casually throwing the filled check on the table, looking at him with a calm and even playful expression, as if watching a clown perform.

  Xia Xue's father suddenly felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have some meaning, no, was very interesting. However, when Xia Xue's father inadvertently glanced at the check and saw the row of nines, he secretly rejoiced for his daughter in his heart, but his facial expression turned furious, staring at Xiao Lin and saying in a cold voice: "Young man, know when to stop, know how to advance and retreat!"

  Xiao Lin, however, was not intimidated in the slightest and calmly said: "What's wrong? Didn't you just say earlier that I could fill it out as I pleased? The amount on your check is too small, only nine digits! But I added two more words at the end." Xiao Lin's expression was as arrogant as possible, as if filling in nine digits wasn't enough.

  Xia Xue's father heard this, picked up the checkbook on the table and took a look, suddenly delighted, extremely angry and laughed, on which was written many nines, filling all the blank spaces in the amount, with two more words at the back: US dollars.

  "How can you be so greedy!" Xia Xue's father looked coldly at Xiao Lin, "Ten billion US dollars is over 60 billion in Chinese currency. The net worth of the Xia family is not even that much."

  "I think it's too little, if not for the fact that you're Xia Xue's father, I wouldn't even bother to name a price!" Xiao Lin said calmly: "If you can't afford it, then please leave!"

  "Bang!" Xia Xue's father couldn't hold back anymore, slamming his hand on the small table in the car, causing the entire vehicle to shake. The bodyguard standing outside quickly opened the door and looked at Xia Xue's father, asking: "Boss..."

  Xia Xue's father didn't wait for the bodyguard to finish speaking, glared at him and shouted: "Close the door, don't you even know this much etiquette?" However, the two bodyguards did not immediately close the door. After hesitating for a moment, they exchanged a glance and then closed the door.

  Xiao Lin was taken aback, this bodyguard seemed to not take Xia Xue's father seriously? And Xia Xue's father seemed to have some unspoken secret? At this time, Xiao Lin carefully observed Xia Xue's father, although he appeared to be in a rage, but between his eyebrows and eyes, there was a hint of helplessness and worry.

  Especially when Xia Xue's father slammed the table, as bodyguards, they actually didn't wait for their boss to speak and took the initiative to open the car door to see what was going on. After Xia Xue's father scolded them, they looked at each other before closing the door. It seems that Xia Xue's father is not having a good time either. Moreover, Xiao Lin guessed that Xia Xue's father seemed to be being monitored by someone.

  Along this line of thinking, Xiao Lin thought more and more, from the two bodyguards' attitude towards Xia Xue's father to Xia Xue's father's position in the Xia family. Xiao Lin's thoughts became clearer and clearer, it seemed that Xia Xue's father was also unwilling for Xia Xue to be with Wang Baozi, but was forced by the pressure of the family.

  Thinking of this, Xiao Lin remembered that Xia Xue had never mentioned a hint of hatred towards her father when talking about her family, but rather a sense of helplessness towards the family.

  When the two bodyguards closed the car door, Xia Xue's father was still furious, glaring at Xiao Lin and shouting: "Young man, don't you think you're being a bit excessive? Moreover, as Xia Xue's father, I'm asking you to leave my daughter alone, what's wrong with that?"

  Xiao Lin didn't have many thoughts at first, but once the idea popped into her head, she felt that Xia Xue's father was also quite helpless. Although he appeared angry on the surface, he gave Xiao Lin the feeling that he wasn't very willing to marry Xia Xue off to Wang Baozi either.

  But for other reasons, I have no choice but to do so.

  "I don't think it's excessive at all. Since you can't afford the bill, I'd like to ask you, if I were to marry Xia Xue, what kind of price would I need to pay?" Xiao Lin asked calmly.

  Xia Xue's father was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Lin to ask such a question. The anger on his face gradually faded away, and he burst out laughing, saying: "Young man, if you can afford the number you just wrote down, I'll let Xia Xue marry you!" Although Xia Xue's father had guessed that Xiao Lin came from a good background and had some financial resources, the amount written above was 9.999 billion yuan, which is equivalent to over 60 million in Huaxia currency. Even if it were the royal family, they would have to sell all their assets to come up with such an amount.

  "So, do you think you can afford this amount of money? Or to put it another way, do you think the crisis that Xia's family is currently facing requires so much money?" Xiao Lin looked at Xia Xue's father with interest. Over 600 million in cash, estimated to be about the same as Xia's current assets.

  Insult, outright insult. Although Xiaoxue's father had some appreciation for Xiao Lin's previous behavior, the words Xiao Lin spoke now couldn't be appreciated no matter what.

  "Young man, aren't you afraid of getting tongue-tied when speaking big words?" Xia Xue's father said with a hint of anger, but he didn't dare to provoke Xiao Lin too much. Although he didn't know Xiao Lin's identity, he knew that Xiao Lin was very capable in combat, and the two retired special forces bodyguards of Wang Baozi were no match for him.

  "You may not know me, I've always been a straightforward person!" Xiao Lin said with a 'humble' tone, making people want to punch him.

  Xia Xue's father had a feeling that he was wrong this time, and this kid deserved more than just a beating.

  You think you can suppress him with money? He opens his mouth and it's already 10 billion US dollars. You think you can suppress him with power? He doesn't even take you seriously, like a bird not taking a worm seriously. You think you can suppress him with force? Just thinking about it is enough, he knocked down those two bodyguards without even using any strength.

  "Alright, I hope everything you said is true!" Xia Xue's father suddenly smiled, the implication was clear, it was time to see the guest off.

  Xiao Lin suddenly turned back, with an arrogant tone in his words, and said to Xia Xue's father: "That also depends on whether the Xia family has the strength worthy of me to fulfill my promise!"
