"Officer Yang, please come inside quickly," Xi Ying Tian said with a fawning smile, ushering him in.
"Why call me Officer Yang? It's too formal. Meng Ru, quickly take Fei Long inside," Xu Jing said with a smile, looking at Yang Fei Long.
"Mother is right, just call me Fei Long," Yang Fei Long replied with a smile. After all, this was his potential father-in-law. He was a little unaccustomed to being called Officer Yang.
As they spoke, they entered the living room.
Xu Jing was very hospitable, pouring tea and offering fruit to Yang Fei Long.
Initially, Xi Ying Tian and Xu Jing had thought Yang Fei Long was a aloof young man. However, after this interaction, they realized he had nothing to do with aloofness. He was a courteous and handsome young man.
"Dad, Mom, Fei Long is not only an officer, he's also a teacher at Blue Sea University," Xi Meng Ru proudly chimed in.
She had initially thought Yang Fei Long was joking with her. But recently, through phone calls and video chats, she learned he was indeed a university teacher. This made Xi Meng Ru even prouder and happier. The man she liked was truly outstanding.
"What? A university teacher? Really?" The couple was utterly shocked.
After all, being an officer and a university teacher were two distinct professions.
Moreover, they had a good impression of university teachers.
"I was specially recruited because of my medical skills," Yang Fei Long explained with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, that's wonderful. By the way, Fei Long, can Meng Ru have children in the future? Will the children have any problems?" Xu Jing asked.
"Ahem, isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask that?" Xi Ying Tian said helplessly.
"It's nothing. Once her illness is cured, she can have children, and the children will be... well, completely normal," Yang Fei Long replied with a smile, though he felt a little awkward about the question.
After all, he was a doctor and didn't shy away from such topics.
"Then when are you planning to have children?" Xu Jing asked eagerly, looking at Yang Fei Long.
"Ahem, this, this is too soon, isn't it? We're both still young." Yang Fei Long, who had just taken a sip of tea, nearly spat it out upon hearing this. His face turned red with embarrassment.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just in my early twenties, and Fei Long isn't even twenty yet," Xi Meng Ru said, her face also flushed with shyness.
"Fei Long, you're not even twenty?" At this moment, the couple was stunned.
"Yes, I'm not yet twenty," Yang Fei Long said with a shy smile.
"..."
Although they could see Yang Fei Long was young, they hadn't expected him to be this young. At this age, not only could he be an officer, but also a university teacher?
Was this... genius?
No, genius didn't seem to be enough to describe him!
"Fei Long, what do your parents do? Would you mind telling us? I'm just curious how they raised you to be so outstanding," Xu Jing asked curiously.
"My parents are good people, but they're just small vendors," Yang Fei Long explained with a smile.
This time, not only the couple but also Xi Meng Ru found it hard to believe.
"Really?" Xi Meng Ru exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, didn't you expect it?" Yang Fei Long teased Xi Meng Ru, "Are you regretting it? Of course, it's not too late to regret it now."
"Hmph, I won't regret it. Even if your family is ordinary, you are outstanding, and you'll be a prominent figure in the future," Xi Meng Ru said happily. "If you need money, I'll ask my parents for it, right, Dad and Mom?"
"That's absolutely no problem. We have plenty of money," Xi Ying Tian said with a smile.
"Your father is right. Fei Long, don't hesitate to tell us if you need money," Xu Jing said with a chuckle. "Treat this place like your own home."
"I'm not short of money," Yang Fei Long said with a smile, shaking his head.
Regarding Yang Fei Long's claim of not lacking money, the couple didn't believe he was just saying it to save face. They knew that being an officer and completing missions brought in a substantial amount of money. While he might not be as rich as them now, he certainly wasn't lacking funds.
Not to mention that he was a miraculous doctor. If Yang Fei Long had asked for billions to treat Xi Meng Ru's illness, they would have gladly paid.
They cherished their daughter dearly.
They didn't have any preference for sons over daughters.
Whether the company was managed by their son or daughter in the future depended on who had the stronger capabilities.
"Fei Long, do you really have money? If you don't, you shouldn't be polite to my parents. They'll be your in-laws soon. Besides, I have over ten million in my personal savings. If you're short, you can use my 'wild spending' money first," Xi Meng Ru said, linking her arm through Yang Fei Long's. She mainly didn't know how much officers and miraculous doctors could earn, and she had never lacked money herself.
"I'm really not lying," Yang Fei Long said helplessly.
"I don't believe you," Xi Meng Ru shook her head.
"Fine, I'll show you the balance on one of my bank cards!" Yang Fei Long said with a wry smile. He took out his phone and opened a banking app linked to his martial artist ID.
"Let me see. Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... Ten figures? Ten billion?" Xi Meng Ru's mouth gaped open.
"Yes, this is part of the cash reward I received for completing a mission recently. Besides cash, there were also physical rewards. The total value is around twenty billion," Yang Fei Long explained.
Xi Ying Tian and Xu Jing were dumbfounded.
Their family's assets exceeded ten billion, but much of it was in physical assets. Their actual liquid cash was only around ten billion. Yang Fei Long casually showed a bank card with ten billion.
"Then how much are you worth now?" Xi Meng Ru's eyes sparkled.
"My total assets are probably over twenty billion, but I don't have much cash, only about ten billion. The rest is considered fixed assets!" Yang Fei Long explained with a light smile. In fact, he was being modest. The storage rings he possessed alone were worth over ten billion, not to mention he currently had a top-grade spirit stone worth ten billion in one of his storage rings!
Other items added together would not be less than ten billion!
He hadn't meticulously calculated his total wealth, but he believed it would easily exceed thirty billion.
"Over twenty billion? You've created so much wealth at just nineteen?" Xi Meng Ru's mouth fell open. What kind of divine being had she found as a husband?
'Divine being' here was not a derogatory term but a complimentary one.
Xi Meng Ru's parents now looked at Yang Fei Long and saw a shining golden bachelor.
They had expected Yang Fei Long to be well-off, but they hadn't imagined that at less than twenty years old, his assets would exceed twenty billion, far richer than their Xi family, which had struggled for decades. And what about in a few more years?
They were unaware that Yang Fei Long had accumulated such a fortune in less than half a year.
If they knew, they would be even more shocked!
Satisfied, very satisfied!
He was capable, handsome, kind to his loved ones, strong against those with ill intentions, and seemed to dote on his wife. Apart from possibly having too many girlfriends, he had no flaws!
A mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and sees him as more pleasing the longer she looks. This was exactly how Xu Jing felt, and Xi Ying Tian was no different. He couldn't find any fault with Yang Fei Long.
