How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 231 Ding Family’s Eccentric Profligate Son

Mrs. Ding finished speaking and stood up to go to the kitchen.

She left the couple some space.

Ding Ruoshui watched her mother’s back as she walked away and whispered, "My mom looks like she’s about to show off her cooking skills again."

"Tomato fried with tomato?"

"Yeah! Today, you’d better not use your chopsticks too much, or I can guarantee you’ll be eating this weird combination at every meal from now on."

"No problem, it’s the thought that counts..."

"Nice, playing the dedicated son-in-law!" Ding Ruoshui nodded slightly, "Let’s go play in the basement."

"Basement? Play?" Lin Xiaosu’s eyes slowly widened.

"Don’t think too much, there’s no bed in the basement! My kind of play is very different from yours..." Ding Ruoshui got up, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button.

The two went down to the basement.

Lin Xiaosu was a bit curious.

Before entering the Ding’s Villa, he had asked Ding Ruoshui whether their villa cost a hundred million.

Ding Ruoshui said he guessed pretty correctly. The ground part did cost a hundred million.

That was just the ground part.

She didn’t mention the underground part.

The basement is where the real essence of this villa lies.

Even her mom, who usually spent money like water, complained that her husband was being too extravagant, and she was talking about the basement investment.

What’s in the basement?

Lin Xiaosu saw as soon as he got out of the elevator.

A lounge.

Two doors.

The door on the left side, an iron door, was locked.

Ding Ruoshui said, this is her dad’s precious laboratory, even she can’t go in.

And the right side?

Another door. Ding Ruoshui’s hand touched the handle, and the door opened.

Lin Xiaosu was shocked as the door opened, and the sound of machines clattering could be heard...

Completely inaudible from ground level, but inside, there was a workshop, processing something...

Ding Ruoshui reached out and grabbed Lin Xiaosu’s hand, leading him inside. There was a precision lathe in the workshop, sparking, and a person in protective gear was intently watching the part he was working on.

From just this scene, this person was the kind of employee that heartless bosses loved the most.

Meticulous and responsible, not afraid of getting dirty or tired, even without supervision, he would still overwork himself...

"Bro!" Ding Ruoshui called out.

The person by the lathe suddenly lifted his head.

The machine’s loud noise promptly ceased.

He took off his protective mask, revealing a face that didn’t quite fit the worker stereotype...

This was a young man.

Around twenty but not yet thirty.

Long hair, slightly handsome face, he looked at Lin Xiaosu and smiled. His smile was a bit crooked, which somehow made him look more rakish and free-spirited.

Was this Ding Ruoshui’s brother, Ding Dong?

The one with multiple facets?

Why multiple facets?

Flirty and unrestrained, the perfect emblem of a playboy.

However, Lin Xiaosu also knew he once built a small car with his own hands as a birthday gift for Ding Ruoshui. The car’s performance was comparable to international brands.

Such formidable hands-on skills and professional mechanical design were completely incongruous with a playboy image, yet it somehow fit him perfectly...

Ding Dong lightly tapped his waist with one finger, his protective suit fell off, revealing a pristine white casual suit underneath.

Just like that, in front of Lin Xiaosu, he completed a dazzling transformation from a working class hero to a carefree playboy.

When he removed his gloves and approached Lin Xiaosu, his strides were already akin to a pimp’s walk.

"Hey! I know you, you’re Lin Xiaosu!" Ding Dong patted Lin Xiaosu on the shoulder.

This pat and the special energy it conveyed made Lin Xiaosu’s heart skip a beat. He was a Genetic Person!

"Yes."

"Man, I sympathize with you!"

"Why?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Being my sister’s boyfriend is no easy feat!" Ding Dong said, "You probably wouldn’t find such a sucker in all of Jiangcheng, so she had to go all the way to Fengcheng to find you."

"Bro!" Ding Ruoshui glared at him, "Can’t you say something nice?"

"Look, look..." Ding Dong said, "I’m not sure if you’ve been hit by her yet, but I can guarantee that as long as you stay with her, sooner or later you will be! That’s not a threat, it’s a kind reminder..."

Bang!

Ding Ruoshui kicked him, and he ran off clutching his butt.

Lin Xiaosu laughed...

Ding Ruoshui also laughed...

"Did you make all these flying car parts yourself?" Lin Xiaosu pointed to the mess of parts around.

Ding Dong’s eyes lit up slightly, "You know these are flying car parts?"

"This is a secondary thruster for the engine. Such engines aren’t used for ground vehicles!" Lin Xiaosu pointed to a three-foot long strange pipe in front of them.

Ding Dong’s eyes widened, "You even know that? No way. I knew you worked hard to master ancient paintings to impress my dad. Don’t tell me you studied mechanical knowledge to impress me? I’m not that important! Really... my words don’t carry any weight in this family at all."

Ding Ruoshui’s big eyes also showed confusion.

Yeah, how could you know so much about mechanics?

Could it really be to impress his brother?

How does that make any sense...

Impressing his brother by studying mechanics?

Going out to have fun together would make you best buddies... freeweɓnøvel~com

Oh, right, his current status is a bit different, being her boyfriend, going out with her brother for entertainment seems inappropriate...

Lin Xiaosu laughed, "I don’t know about your words carrying weight, but I know the cars you made work really well."

"Cars are nothing!" Ding Dong said, "There’s control measures on flying cars now. Without them, my flying cars would fill Jiangcheng’s sky. Actually, flying cars can’t keep up with my growing ambitions. With the right materials, I could handcraft an atomic bomb..."

Ding Ruoshui quickly grabbed Lin Xiaosu’s hand again, "Don’t continue this conversation! If you dare continue, he might actually try making one! Come on, let’s go have tea outside!"

They went to the lounge outside.

Ding Ruoshui poured Lin Xiaosu a cup of tea.

Ding Dong also had a cup, "What time is it now? Have you had lunch yet?"

"Lunch? Are you talking about lunch or dinner?" Ding Ruoshui asked him.

Ding Dong jumped up, went to the elevator, and stared at the time, "Shit! It’s 5 PM! I have a dinner date with three girls... I’m going to be late!"

Like a bee stung on the butt, he rushed into the elevator...

"Dinner date with three girls?" Lin Xiaosu gazed at Ding Ruoshui, "Your brother is something..."

"That’s not his best record, his best is having eight dates in one night!" Ding Ruoshui said, "That’s not the point, the point is he’s late!"

"What happens if he’s late?"

"If he’s late, he has to use gifts to make up. You see, my mom was right. He’s like a spendthrift! Tonight, he’ll spend at least three million!"

"Shoot! His dating budget is in millions?" Lin Xiaosu looked at her, "I don’t think your family should favor boys over girls. You shouldn’t be shortchanged, you should follow your brother’s example. From now on, don’t limit your budget to 400,000, consider adding a zero..."

"Get lost!" Ding Ruoshui glared at him, "My brother spends three million for messing around... I spend 400,000 for acting. Can’t compare them!"

"So, are you suggesting we mess around for real too?"

"I’m done with you!" Ding Ruoshui sighed, "Putting on a show with you requires giving up my first kiss and virginity? Am I that desperate?"

First kiss, she emphasized twice!

Virginity, first time emphasizing it!

Lin Xiaosu looked at her and couldn’t understand what this girl was up to.

Rumor has it, Tianyan Palace uses beauty to infiltrate the human world.

Did Chunshui Palace also get inspired?

Plan to use you to infiltrate me?

When they came up from the basement, they saw Ding Lizhong.

Ding Lizhong used to be someone who would come home late at night, and sometimes, not at all.

But today was clearly an exception.

Mrs. Ding had called him, urging him to come home immediately!

So, he came back.

Today’s Old Ding was a completely different version from before.

The old Old Ding had a cloud over his head, always keeping a professor’s gloom.

Today’s Old Ding, no longer had that cloud, engaging in joyful scientific work, walking his own path. He seemed transparent, brimming with exuberance from head to toe.

"Xiaosu!" He first greeted Lin Xiaosu.

"Uncle Ding, you look more spirited."

"Haha, doing what I love, how could I not be spirited?" Ding Lizhong laughed happily.

This is probably what lies in the Ding family’s bones.

Doing what you love, openly, even if it’s tough, it’s joyful.

Like Ding Lizhong, like his son Ding Dong, like Mrs. Ding...

All of them are racing down their own paths with enthusiasm.

Except one, Ding Ruoshui.

Lin Xiaosu wasn’t quite sure if the path she’s on is truly what she wants...

The winter sky darkens quickly, after 5:30, the darkness shrouded Nanhu, nightfall covered the land.

Dinner was served.

There was still a bottle of wine worth as much as a house.

The table really had Mrs. Ding’s tomato fried with tomato.

Lin Xiaosu ate it out of courtesy.

Mrs. Ding smiled, nudging Ding Ruoshui with her chin, showing off.

Seeing her mother’s gloating, Ding Ruoshui almost buried her face in her bowl...

She was speechless at her mother.

If you want others to praise your cooking, you should put in some effort. Your cooking skills never improve, but all you think about is finding someone who appreciates your cooking. Isn’t this the wrong approach?

In fact, what she didn’t know was, her mother had actually sought advice, asking the family cook, Aunt Mei: "Sister Mei, tell me, is this dish I cooked delicious?"

Sister Mei had nodded immediately: "Madam, your cooking skills are really good. This dish smells and looks great!"

See, it’s professionally certified!

After dinner, Lin Xiaosu and Ding Lizhong went upstairs together.

They sat in his study for a while.

Sitting down, drinking tea, Lin Xiaosu spoke first, "Uncle Ding, is the current Changsheng Group what you wanted?"

Ding Lizhong smiled, "In life, there are always things you want but can’t get. That’s human nature. However, people should learn to be content with stages of life."

"Stages of contentment?"

Ding Lizhong said, "When your research is in your own hands, regardless of whether the ultimate goal is achieved, the process is wonderful."

"The ultimate goal..." Lin Xiaosu said, "What goal did you set for yourself, Uncle?"
