"Dad! Don't … "Before Hao Ren could finish his sentence, Hao Zhonghua had already turned the knob.
It was his son's room, and he could come in directly.
"Why is it so messy?" Hao Zhonghua looked at Hao Ren's bed and said unhappily.
Hao Ren turned to look at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were behind the red energy sphere. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'll make the bed in a minute."
"Hurry up!" Hao Zhonghua opened the closet and took out a pair of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. He threw them to Hao Ren.
He had never paid attention to Hao Ren before, but he had to hurry Hao Ren since he had to catch a flight today.
"Change your underwear, too!" Hao Zhonghua took out a pair of briefs and threw them to Hao Ren.
Since it was summer, Hao Ren slept in a pair of underwear. At this moment, Hao Zhonghua stood in the room as if he was urging Hao Ren to get dressed.
"Dad …" Hao Ren picked up the underwear and called out.
"What? Are you shy in front of me?" Hao Zhonghua stared at Hao Ren.
"Ugh … Ugh …" Hao Ren hid in the bed and took off the original underwear before putting on a clean one.
Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren and covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. Lu Lili, on the other hand, blushed, but there was also a hint of amusement in her soft eyes.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle." Hao Zhonghua pulled Hao Ren up and slapped him on the butt.
It was a kind of communication between father and son, but it was very interesting for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
"Gongzi … We'll wash the underwear for you …" When Hao Ren was pulled out by Hao Zhonghua, the Lu sisters huddled in Hao Ren's bed and whispered to him.
In the living room, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were ready to go. Xie Yujia was pulling a big suitcase with a lot of clothes in it. She was going to stay in the U.S. for the summer.
Elder Sun's car was parked outside the house. It was a black Lincoln Stretch Limousine, and it looked very prestigious. It didn't feel like they were going on a plane; it was more like they were going to get married.
Hao Ren was a bit scared when he thought that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were still in his room. He usually didn't fall asleep when he was cultivating, and he guessed that they must have used some kind of medicine.
These two damned girls were getting bolder and bolder. He would teach them a lesson when they returned.
"Why are you so unkempt?" Xie Yujia glanced at him and raised her hand to tidy his hair.
Zhao Yanzi snorted, knowing that she couldn't leave them alone.
Hao Ren picked up her luggage and got into Elder Sun's car.
The black Lincoln Stretch Limousine drove steadily. This place was not far from the airport. In just half an hour, they arrived at the airport under the astonished gazes of the taxi drivers.
Zhao Hongyu was already waiting for them with a pile of documents in her hand.
"Mom!"
Zhao Yanzi dashed into Zhao Hongyu's arms.
"Mr. Hao." Zhao Hongyu nodded at Hao Zhonghua elegantly with Zhao Yanzi in her arms.
"Mrs. Zhao, sorry to trouble you this time." Hao Zhonghua shook hands with Zhao Hongyu gently and answered gracefully.
"We're family, there's no need to be so polite." Zhao Hongyu smiled lightly and led them to the VIP passage.
Zhao Hongyu booked first-class seats for the flight from East Ocean City to New York. It would take more than ten hours to get from East Ocean City to New York, and Zhao Hongyu didn't want the kids to suffer.
The seats in the first-class cabin were separated by adjustable sofas. Zhao Yanzi wanted to sit with her mom but also wanted to sit with Hao Ren. While she was hesitating, Xie Yujia had already sat down next to Hao Ren.
Hao Zhonghua picked up a magazine and began to read it calmly. He was partial to Xie Yujia. Although he liked Zhao Yanzi, he felt that she was still too young.
The plane took off, and the long flight began. With Little White's speed, it would definitely be faster than the plane, but it was hard to say how they would arrive in the U.S.
Last time, Xie Yujia couldn't help but miss her parents, and now she could meet them openly. Hao Ren saw her anticipation and joy, and he knew that Xie Yujia was very filial.
Most of the passengers slept through the ten-hour journey, but Hao Ren cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in silence, not daring to relax at all.
He turned to look at Xie Yujia and saw that she had a serious expression on her face. She must be cultivating the Spells' Origin Note Scroll that the old Grandma gave her.
He craned his neck to look at Zhao Yanzi who was sitting in front of him and found that she was in a deep sleep. Even her tongue was hanging out of her mouth.
No matter what he did, this fellow only had a short burst of enthusiasm. He was only slightly more diligent in his cultivation than before.
The lights in the cabin lit up, indicating that they were about to arrive in New York.
Hao Ren looked out the window and saw the bustling New York under the thin white clouds.
The plane circled for a while and finally landed at JFK Airport.
"Mom! We're here! "Zhao Yanzi cheered in excitement. Being trapped in the cabin for more than ten hours was too boring for her.
Zhao Hongyu had taken her to the United States with the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting.
Outside the airport, two luxury cars with the logo of Mingri Group were waiting.
"Second Uncle!" Zhao Yanzi suddenly sped up and ran toward a tall and thin middle-aged man.
"Hehe, Zi, long time no see." The middle-aged man was knocked back two steps by Zhao Yanzi, and he patted her shoulder.
Hao Ren took the opportunity to size this Second Uncle up and down. He felt that this Second Uncle was very thin and not as muscular as Zhao Kuo. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked more elegant than Zhao Guang.
Two young men stood beside Second Uncle. One was about 27 years old, and the other was about 19 years old. The older one was wearing silver-rimmed glasses and looked elegant; he should be at work already. The younger one was wearing an American-style T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. However, he seemed to be a top student with a good upbringing.
Hao Ren took a closer look and felt that this Second Uncle was emitting a faint blue dragon essence, but the two young men didn't have any dragon essence at all.
Now that he was an inspector, he had the inspector's token on him, and it was more accurate for him to check someone's cultivation.
It seemed that Zhao Yanzi's Second Uncle's family had lost their dragon nature, and this Second Uncle was ready to live a mortal life. These two young men were Zhao Yanzi's cousins, and they might never know that their father was a mysterious dragon cultivator.
"Zhao Kuan, let me introduce you." Zhao Hongyu walked over and said, "This is Hao Zhonghua, a top scientist in biology. This is Hao Ren, Mr. Hao's son. This is Xie Yujia, my goddaughter."
"It's an honor to meet you …" Zhao Kuan shook hands with Hao Zhonghua sincerely.
He had heard of Hao Zhonghua, but he didn't have the chance to meet him. Two years ago, Hao Zhonghua was on the cover of Time Magazine!
Xie Yujia's dad was busy managing his factory and didn't have time to pay attention to the magazine. However, as the President of Mingri Group's North American Division, he would pay attention to the magazine!
Zhao Kuan's two sons didn't pay attention to Hao Zhonghua who was shaking hands with their father. Instead, they looked at Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia was very beautiful and was Zhao Hongyu's goddaughter. These two factors made them interested in Xie Yujia, and they secretly hoped that Xie Yujia could live in their home.
"Yujia!" At this moment, a clear voice came from another direction.
Xie Yujia turned her head and saw her mom running toward them. She immediately ran over, ignoring Hao Zhonghua who was still talking to Zhao Kuan.
"Mom!" Xie Yujia hugged her mom tightly. Her simple call was full of sincerity and longing.
Hao Ren also ran over hurriedly with Xie Yujia's suitcase.
"Mom …" Xie Yujia slowly let go of her mom and looked at her mother's old face. Suddenly, tears gushed out of her eyes.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Xie Yujia's mom was worried about her daughter, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped Xie Yujia's tears.
"No … I'm just too happy." Xie Yujia smiled through her tears. She wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand and touched her mom's face lovingly.
"Well, if you really feel wronged, you should come to the U.S. to study," Xie Yujia's mom looked at Xie Yujia and said earnestly.
"No …" Xie Yujia lowered her head and continued to wipe away her tears. "Uncle Hao's family is very nice to me."
"Auntie, Uncle," Hao Ren walked over and greeted Xie Yujia's parents.
"Ren, you've grown so big!" Xie Yujia's mom looked at Hao Ren in surprise. Then, she looked at him carefully and said, "Taller, stronger, and more handsome!"
She looked at him like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law!
"Yeah, he seems to be more muscular than the last time I saw him at East Ocean University!" Xie Yujia's dad patted Hao Ren's shoulder and said in satisfaction.
"Where's your dad?" Xie Yujia's dad asked Hao Ren.
"He's talking over there!" Hao Ren pointed at the exit of the airport.
Hao Zhonghua who was talking with Zhao Kuan finally noticed Xie Yujia's parents. He greeted Zhao Kuan and Zhao Hongyu and immediately quickened his steps toward Hao Ren.
"Zi and her mom are going to reunite with their Second Uncle. Let's go together!" Hao Zhonghua said heartily.
Hao Ren knew that Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Kuan must have invited his dad, but Hao Zhonghua would choose to reunite with his old friends instead of going with them.
Not far away, Zhao Hongyu waved at Hao Ren and Zhao Kuan before getting into the Mingri Group's car and leaving the airport.
"Really! I called you a few times, but you didn't come. It's so hot now! "Xie Yujia's dad patted Hao Zhonghua's shoulder.
"I was too busy for a while and only got some free time recently. Since I'm sending Yujia to the U.S., I brought this kid here to visit, "Hao Zhonghua said with a smile.
Although his status was much higher than Xie Ming's, he still didn't forget this old friend who had helped him a long time ago.
"Cheng Qian, how have you been these years? Did Xie Ming bully you?" Hao Zhonghua asked Xie Yujia's mom.
"I'm just trying to get by. I'm not as good as you two," Cheng Qian answered with a smile.
In fact, Xie Ming and his wife had quite a big business in the U.S. They were able to open two factories in the U.S., which was quite impressive among their classmates.
With tears in her eyes, Xie Yujia finally smiled in relief when she saw the three elders chatting happily.
"Yujia, guess who else is coming to pick you up?" Xie Ming asked Xie Yujia.
"Who is it?" Xie Yujia looked around.
Beep …
A white van in front of them was honking.
"Brother?!"
Xie Yujia's eyes lit up immediately.
The person sitting in the van was Xie Wanjun!
Wearing a blue work shirt, he sat in the driver's seat and looked at them with a smile.
Xie Yujia used to live in Xie Wanjun's home, and this older brother took care of her both in school and in life. Therefore, they had a deep relationship, and he treated her like his own older brother.
Xie Wanjun also treated this cousin as his own sister. If anyone dared to bully Xie Yujia, he would be the first one to rush up and kill them!
That was why no one dared to bully Xie Yujia from elementary school to high school. It was not until university that a 'bad guy' like Hao Ren appeared.
Xie Yujia was excited to see Xie Wanjun, and Hao Ren felt close to Xie Wanjun as well.
"Stanford University is on vacation, and he has been helping out in our factory for the past two months. It is considered social practice and part-time work," Xie Ming said with a smile.
"Why are you standing here? Let's find a place to treat him to dinner!" Cheng Qian reminded him.
"Yeah! Get in the van!" Xie Ming came back to his senses and walked to the white van.
"This van is used to transport some samples. The car at home can't fit you guys, so I drove this over. Please don't mind," Xie Ming said awkwardly after getting in the van.
"Of course not!" Hao Zhonghua laughed.
He had been to conferences abroad, and he had ridden in the most expensive cars. However, this van showed the sincerity of an old friend.
Xie Yujia didn't care if the car was good or bad. She was happy that she could reunite with her parents.
Xie Wanjun, who was driving, started the car skillfully and drove out of the airport to the road outside.
There were English signs everywhere, and Hao Ren felt a bit dizzy just by looking at them. However, Xie Wanjun drove smoothly on the road. Hao Ren believed that Xie Wanjun's adaptability and English were good.
Since Xie Wanjun could get into Stanford University for his master's degree with a full scholarship, he wasn't as simple as he looked.
Hao Ren's grades couldn't even reach 50% of his. Even Xie Yujia, who often got first place in the school, could only look up to her older brother.
They went to a Chinese restaurant near Xie Yujia's parents' apartment for dinner. Hao Zhonghua, Xie Ming, and Cheng Qian talked about their childhood excitedly.
When Xie Wanjun saw his sister after a few months, he kept asking her about the school, especially the situation of the basketball team.
When he found out that the school's basketball team had made it to the national finals under Zhao Jiayi's leadership, he felt relieved.
While Hao Zhonghua and Xie Ming chatted more and more enthusiastically, Cheng Qian pulled Xie Yujia aside and asked many questions.
Hao Ren looked at them and didn't know what to say.
"Let's go for a walk!" Xie Wanjun bumped Hao Ren's arm with his elbow.
"Ok!" Hao Ren stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Xie Yujia's parents wanted to do business with foreigners, so they didn't live in Chinatown where Chinese lived. Brooklyn was more suitable for living than other parts of New York.
NBA superstar Michael? Jordan and boxing champion Tyson had all grown up here. The New Jersey Nets' new arena, the Barclays Center, was not far from here.
On the opposite corner of the street where Hao Ren and Xie Wanjun came out of the restaurant was a basketball court made of barbed wire.
"Hey! ChineseMan!” The three African Americans who were playing were annoyed when they saw Hao Ren and Xie Wanjun looking at them, and they stuck out their fingers.
"What should we do?" Xie Wanjun asked.
Hao Ren smiled. "What do you think?"
