Nantianmen Project: Starting from Love Apartment

"Where is that bastard?" Lin Xiaotian asked.

"Who is it?" Lin Wanyu blinked and looked at her daddy blankly, totally confused.

"Who else? It's that bold guy who stole my cabbages without knowing the consequences!" Lin Xiaotian said angrily.

"Daddy, how can you say that? He is my boyfriend!" Lin Wanyu immediately became unhappy when she heard her father describe Lu Zhanbo like that, and retorted with a pout.

When Lin Xiaotian heard this, he was so angry that he almost jumped up. He glared at Lin Wanyu and said, "What boyfriend? He's just a pig that only knows how to eat cabbage!"

Lin Wanyu felt very dissatisfied when she heard her father belittle the person she liked in this way.

Lin Wanyu responded loudly: "Daddy, you are going too far! He also has a name, his name is Lu Zhanbo!"

Lin Xiaotian was stunned. He didn't expect his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, to talk back to him for a man. He covered his chest and staggered back two steps.

Xu Xin, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly supported Lin Xiaotian, asking worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine, just a little heartbroken." Lin Xiaotian gritted his teeth and groaned in pain.

Xu Xin was even more puzzled. He looked at Lin Xiaotian in confusion, wondering what on earth he was acting.

"I'm so heartbroken! My precious daughter, whom I've raised for so many years, hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already started leaning towards outsiders. How embarrassing it is for me as her father!" Lin Xiaotian sighed, looking heartbroken.

"Oh, so that's how it is! You scared me, I thought something was wrong with you." Xu Xin finally understood and couldn't help rolling his eyes and said unhappily.

Afterwards, Xu Xin ignored Lin Xiaotian and looked at his precious daughter. He looked her up and down, then held Lin Wanyu's hand and said distressedly, "You've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot outside."

"No, no, I'm very happy here. My roommates and neighbors take good care of me. The reason I look thinner is because I'm trying to lose weight recently." Lin Wanyu hurriedly comforted her mother.

"Are you really living a good life?" Xu Xin asked.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Wanyu nodded quickly.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Mommy, let's go in. I'll introduce my friends to you." Lin Wanyu took Xu Xin's hand and walked in.

"Mommy, this is Zeng Xiaoxian, the radio host." Lin Wanyu introduced from near to far.

"Hello, hello." Zeng Xiaoxian stood up and greeted.

"Hello." Xu Xin responded with a smile.

"This is Hu Yifei, a university teacher and Zhanbo's sister." Lin Wanyu said.

"Hello, Auntie." Hu Yifei quickly stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Hello." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"These three are our neighbors next door, Guan Gu Shenqi, Lu Ziqiao, and Chen Meijia." Lin Wanyu introduced.

"Hello, Auntie." The three of them stood up and greeted her.

"Hello." Xu Xin responded with a smile and a nod.

"This is Xiao Jie, Brother Xiao. Mommy, you should know him." Lin Wanyu said.

"Hello, Auntie." Xiao Jie stood up and said with a smile.

"President Xiao, I finally meet you in person." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Finally, this is my boyfriend, Lu Zhanbo." Lin Wanyu solemnly introduced him to Xu Xin.

"Hello, Auntie." Lu Zhanbo quickly stood up and greeted her.

"You are Zhanbo. I heard Wanyu mention you." Xu Xin finally met her daughter's boyfriend. She looked him up and down, nodded slightly, and thought to herself: Not bad, tall and handsome.

"I've also heard Wanyu talk about you." Lu Zhanbo said with a smile.

"Really? What did Wanyu say about me?" Xu Xin asked with a smile.

Lu Zhanbo's brain was working fast.

"Wanyu said that you are gentle and amiable. After meeting you today, it turns out that your reputation is well-deserved." Lu Zhanbo said.

Xu Xin was amused by Lu Zhanbo. Seeing Lu Zhanbo's look, she knew that Lu Zhanbo should be an honest and decent child who would not do anything to let his daughter down.

"This child is so cute." Xu Xin said with a smile.

At this time, Lin Xiaotian walked in.

"Xiaotian, come here quickly, this is Lu Zhanbo, my daughter's boyfriend." Xu Xin said to Lin Xiaotian.

Lin Xiaotian did not go over, but greeted Xiao Jie with a smile: "President Xiao, we meet again."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, we meet again." Xiao Jie also responded with a smile.

After saying hello, Lin Xiaotian immediately looked at Lu Luxu with a stern face. He sized up Lu Zhanbo and thought to himself: Humph, no wonder he was able to kidnap my precious daughter. It turns out he has a good appearance.

"You are Lu Zhanbo, my daughter's boyfriend?" Lin Xiaotian asked with a stern face.

"Yes, uncle." Lu Zhanbo nodded quickly.

"Where did you graduate from?" Lin Xiaotian asked.

"I graduated from MIT," Lu Zhanbo replied with a smile.

When Lin Xiaotian heard this, he thought to himself, "Not bad. She graduated from a world-renowned university, so she's barely worthy of him."

"Where do you work now?" Lin Xiaotian asked again.

"I am currently working at the Origin Research Institute," said Lu Zhanbo.

When Lin Xiaotian heard about the Origin Research Institute, he was shocked: What a boy, he is a talented person, and he can work in the Origin Research Institute at such a young age.

Although Lin Xiaotian was very surprised, he remained calm and asked, "Since you work at the Origin Research Institute, have you worked on any projects?"

"Not yet. I've been working on the Jiuding Project with Brother Xiao. But don't worry, uncle. I will definitely make a career in the future." Lu Zhanbo promised.

But he didn't know that at this moment, Lin Xiaotian's heart was already in turmoil.

"Good boy, I can't believe that he can be taken to the Nine Cauldrons Project by Dean Xiao, so this boy must be an important figure in the Origin Research Institute. Could he be Dean Xiao's student?"

Despite how shocked he was in his heart, Lin Xiaotian remained calm on the surface and nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

"Oh my God, does Wanyu's father have such high standards? Xiao Jie, are you sure Zhan Bo can pass?" Lu Ziqiao leaned close to Xiao Jie and asked in a low voice.

"Don't look at him looking so calm now. He is actually extremely shocked inside." Xiao Jie replied.

"Is this true?" Lu Ziqiao asked suspiciously.

"Believe it or not, he will say something like, 'You are excellent, but not worthy of my daughter, so you have to work hard and try to be worthy of my daughter as soon as possible.'" Xiao Jie said.

"I don't believe it." Lu Ziqiao shook his head and said.

"Just wait." Xiao Jie said.

As expected, Xiao Jie guessed it right.

"Boy, you are much better than I thought." Lin Xiaotian praised.

Lu Zhanbo was delighted when he heard this.

But before Lu Zhanbo could be happy for long, Lin Xiaotian changed the subject.

"But if you want to be worthy of my daughter, you are still a little short of it. So, boy, you have to work harder and strive to be worthy of my daughter as soon as possible." Lin Xiaotian said earnestly.

When Lu Ziqiao heard Lin Xiaotian's words, he looked at Xiao Jie in shock.

Xiao Jie smiled smugly at him.

On this side, Lu Zhanbo felt a little disappointed when he heard Lin Xiaotian's words, but he quickly cheered up.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will work hard to make you recognize me as soon as possible." Lu Zhanbo said confidently.

"Ah."

Lin Xiaotian nodded slightly, but thought to himself: It was a close call, I finally fooled this guy.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Jie quickly stepped forward and said, "You two, why don't we eat first, or the food will get cold."

"Okay, no problem." Lin Xiaotian and Xu Xin nodded and said.

"Please come this way." Xiao Jie said.

After Lin Xiaotian and Xu Xin took their seats, everyone in the Love Apartment also took their seats.

"This is a home-cooked dish that Guan Gu Shenqi and I made. I hope you don't mind." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"Of course not. It's our honor to taste Dean Xiao's cooking." Lin Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Well, everyone, please start eating, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold." Xiao Jie said.

After hearing Xiao Jie's words, everyone started eating.
