Passing through the underground tunnel under the arena, Lin Feng walked out of the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo quickly.
"Gao Hai, I'm here …"
In a corner, Lin Feng took out his phone and contacted Gao Hai.
He did not go through the main entrance, but through a special tunnel because there were many people gathered at the main entrance of the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo.
These people were cursing and looking unfriendly. From their words, one could vaguely hear the words "high school students". Obviously, they were here to cause trouble for Lin Feng.
These gamblers were mad and needed to vent their anger. However, they were quickly dispersed by the security guards of the Martial Arts Dojo. They did not go too far and were still looking for their target in the crowd.
"Let's go." After meeting up with Gao Hai, the two of them quickly left.
"Feng, how much did you earn?"
Gao Hai's face was filled with excitement as he asked impatiently as soon as he appeared.
"180,000."
Lin Feng looked around. His phone had just received a message from the bank.
"Why is it only 180,000?
So little? "Gao Hai was puzzled.
"My Combat Card can only allow me to bet ten thousand at most," Lin Feng said regretfully.
He originally thought that it would be close to a million, but after asking the staff, he found out that there was a limit.
For a low-level member like him, the maximum limit was 10,000. This was also to prevent people from organizing fake fights. Since the limit was only 10,000, there was no need for fake fights.
As for higher limits, one had to go through layers of verification. Ordinary people could not apply for it.
"What a pity. If we had 10,000, we could have earned at least 100,000 more."
Gao Hai said regretfully after realizing the truth.
However, it did not last long. This amount of money had exceeded his initial expectations.
This was Lin Feng's first time in the Martial Arts Dojo. That was why he could pretend to be weak. He would not have the chance in the future.
"You can have half of this money. However, I have some plans that require this money. I'll give it to you later."
Linfeng put his arm around Gao Hai's shoulder and said.
He had always felt indebted to Gao Hai, a good brother who had grown up with him. He was unable to make up for what he had done in his previous life, but now that he had the chance in this life, Linfeng wanted to give him everything he could. This small amount of money was naturally nothing.
"Hehe, I don't need that much. Just give me some."
Gao Hai's chubby face was flushed red from excitement. He chuckled and said embarrassedly, "I didn't do anything. How can I ask for so much?"
Gao Hai and Lin Feng were both from ordinary families. It could be said that those who lived in the Lakeside Community were all poor.
In addition to him, Gao Hai had a younger brother who was in the first year of middle school. Like Gao Hai, he was also chubby.
Both of them were in school and the expenses were high. Ninety thousand yuan was not enough for Gao Hai's family to save in ten years. That was why he was so excited.
In the face of his parents' hard work, Gao Hai also wanted to do his part. This was also the reason why he did not refuse.
"Hehe, don't be excited. This is just a small amount."
Seeing Gao Hai so excited and even a little worried about personal gains and losses, Linfeng said with a smile. Gao Hai could not answer this question. He could only chuckle and did not refute. He would not accept anyone's refutation.
At this time, he absolutely worshipped Linfeng. Nothing was impossible for him to earn 180,000 yuan in just one afternoon.
"It's almost five o 'clock. We have made money today and should celebrate. Is there any delicious restaurant nearby? Let's take it back."
Linfeng said domineeringly.
It was not his style to not spend money when there was money. Even if he was short of money at this time, he was short of big money. He really did not lack money for this meal.
"Forget about the big restaurant. It's too wasteful. There is a restaurant nearby that tastes good. The price is above average. The decoration and grade are four stars. But I heard the taste is five stars." Gao Hai was very knowledgeable about eating. Soon, he suggested.
Gao Hai's obesity was not only genetic, but also gluttony. This was his hobby.
He had not eaten in this restaurant, but he had heard about it many times from his classmates. He had been fascinated for a long time.
"Then let's go to this restaurant and eat."
Linfeng naturally had no objection. Under the guidance of Gao Hai, the two of them walked toward the restaurant.
.....
Private Room 201 of the Exquisite Restaurant. This was an open private room, separated by a simple Chinese screen. But the situation inside could be seen clearly from outside.
At this time, there were more than 20 people in the private room. The old and the elders were sitting around a big round table. Children were running from time to time. There were men and women, old and young. Everyone was chatting and laughing. Obviously, this was a family gathering.
"Sorry, I'm late."
At this time, footsteps came from the door. Then, a young man walked in. The young man looked about 25 or 26 years old. He was about 1.72 meters tall. Although he was not handsome, he was good-looking.
"Chen Hao, why are you so late? The dishes are about to be served." As soon as the young man arrived, someone in the private room said.
"That's right. Grandpa and Grandma were waiting for you. You will drink three glasses of wine as punishment later!"
"Sorry to have kept the elders waiting. Today is a special occasion.
I accept my punishment. I accept my punishment. "
Chen Hao hurriedly begged for mercy, which led to laughter.
"Why aren't you coming in? What are you doing outside?
Seeing that Chen Hao did not enter the private room, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair scolded him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Chen Hao walked out of the private room with a smile. When he came in, he was holding a girl's hand.
The girl looked about 23 or 24 years old. She was wearing a pale yellow dress. She was tall, had long hair, and a delicate face. At this time, she was obviously nervous. She had a slightly embarrassed but sincere smile on her face. It was obvious that she was a very gentle girl.
"Today is a family gathering. I'm bringing my girlfriend to meet Grandpa and Grandma."
Chen Hao held the girl's hand and introduced her to everyone. "My girlfriend is Lin Kerou. She's pretty, right?"
"Good boy, when did you find such a beautiful girlfriend? Tell us quickly."
"Yes, sister-in-law is really elegant. Does sister-in-law have a younger sister or a classmate?"
Lin Kerou's appearance caused some young men to scream. Many people asked to be introduced.
"Xiao Hao, you have good taste. She's on my level."
A middle-aged fat man joked, causing laughter. Even his wife, who was fatter than him, was a little embarrassed and patted her husband repeatedly.
The atmosphere seemed good.
This made Lin Kerou, who was originally nervous, breathe a sigh of relief. Her body relaxed slightly, but when she looked up, her face was slightly pale.
This was because the couple sitting opposite her, who really cared about her, had been very calm. There was no trace of a smile on their faces.
"Let's go. We're all hungry."
Just as Lin Kerou was about to escape, her hand was held tightly and she heard her boyfriend's comforting voice.
"Yes."
Suppressing the sadness and uneasiness in her heart, Lin Kerou smiled. She did not want to put her boyfriend in a difficult position and worry.
From the moment they saw Lin Kerou, Chen Hao's parents did not smile. They did not even greet the girl from beginning to end. At this time, except for the young children, everyone understood what this meant.
The originally warm atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone seemed to deliberately avoid the girl's name and topic.
"Kerou, right? How long have you known Xiao Hao? What do you do for a living?" At the dining table, a kind white-haired grandmother asked with a smile.
"Hello, Grandma. We've known each other for four years. I work in a garment factory. I'm an ordinary worker."
After this question, the atmosphere became a little strange.
"Four years. That's quite long. Where do you live?"
"Shore District."
Two questions, one asked and one answered, and there was no follow-up.
At this time, the relatives finally understood why Chen Hao's parents had such an attitude.
Although the Chen family was not a big family, they had a small business and were considered to be in the upper-middle class in Jiang City. Many of them worked in the government and naturally valued the concept of matching social status.
Lin Kerou, who was introverted and sensitive since she was young, could sense the changes in the mood and attitude of the people around her.
She did not say a word. Although she was a little restless, she tried to keep a gentle smile on her face.
"What's wrong? You're eating so little. Are you not feeling well?"
Chen Hao picked up some food for Lin Kerou, looking apologetic and distressed.
Today was the Chen family's impromptu family gathering. Everyone gathered together not only to bond but also to discuss some business issues.
In order to make his parents accept his girlfriend, Chen Hao had specially brought Lin Kerou to meet his relatives, hoping to save the country through indirect means. However, he did not expect his parents to pull their faces and not give him any face at all.
At this time, he was already regretting it. He could feel his girlfriend's sadness, but with his relatives and elders present, he could only endure it silently and could not leave early.
"It's okay. I just don't have much of an appetite." Lin Kerou smiled.
"Miss Lin, is the food not to your taste?" At this time, Mother Chen, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Uh …"
Lin Kerou was obviously stunned. She did not react to Mother Chen's sudden question for a moment. When she saw Mother Chen frown slightly, she quickly said, "No, Auntie. These dishes are very delicious."
"Is it too greasy? You usually eat too bland and can't eat greasy food."
Mother Chen asked with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere froze. Everyone looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, but they did not say a word.
"No."
The smile on Lin Kerou's face was a little stiff. The chopsticks in her hand had unknowingly fallen to the ground.
She was not a fool. How could she not understand the hidden meaning in her words?
However, she did not expect Mother Chen to be so direct and humiliate her in front of all her relatives and friends.
She had endured humiliation and deliberately tried to please her, but it was so insignificant.
At this time, Lin Kerou did not know that while she was being humiliated, a young man was standing quietly outside the screen for a while. He did not say a word and his expression was cold.
