Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1210 - 360: [The Foundation of a Prestigious Family] (Happy New Year!)_3

So your reaction, it’s passable, not too bad. But this kind of reaction, that young master has probably seen too many times. In his mind, you’re probably just like those people who are a bit hesitant to trust him.

Speaking, Aunt Yun gave a bitter smile and said, "Zhaoming, let me ask you, do you still remember an incident?

When you were in your teens, your father arranged for you to transfer to a very strict public school in the Mainland. Your classmates secretly looked down on you, believing you were just a spoiled second-generation who only got in because of donations from wealthy families.

But actually, your grades were very good, and you didn’t rely on your father’s donations to get in.

Back then, when you first transferred, facing classmates who didn’t know your true abilities and mocked or looked down on you, how did you view them?"

Without hesitation, Liu Zhaoming immediately said, "I thought they were short-sighted, couldn’t see what was right in front of them..."

At this point, he abruptly closed his mouth.

Aunt Yun slowly said, "Understand now? Your performance today, in that young master’s eyes, probably leaves this impression.

Someone who’s truly capable, when doubted or questioned by outsiders, often has similar thoughts about those outsiders."

Pausing, Aunt Yun smiled bitterly and continued, "A truly capable expert doesn’t need money. They value affinity, personality. If personalities align, it’s naturally beneficial.

If he already looks down on you, considers you mundane, you might miss the chance to befriend a capable master."

"But he really does need to have skills, right?", Liu Zhaoming frowned and said, "Aunt Yun, I mean no disrespect, I just hope he really has skills, especially now when only Father’s awakening can save the current situation."

Aunt Yun shook her head, "Didn’t you say, he was introduced by Dean Chu? Dean Chu is not an ordinary person, much less a swindler. Dean Chu has status, wealth, industry, and real skill. Why would they stoop to deceive the Liu Family for fifty million?"

Liu Zhaoming suddenly asked, "So, Aunt Yun, do you really trust that young master?"

Aunt Yun sighed again, but after all, he was the heir of the Liu family, even though she’s not his biological mother. Liu Zhaoming’s nature is considered kind and honest, slowly taking over the family business after becoming an adult, without deliberately sidelining his siblings.

As this stepmother, she’d still depend on this stepson to maintain the Liu family’s glory.

So, when it’s necessary to give guidance, it’s better to give it.

Aunt Yun said in a low voice, "Did you notice how Dean Chu looked at that young master?"

With this reminder from his stepmother, Liu Zhaoming’s heart moved, as he recalled carefully, revealing a contemplative expression: "Thinking about it, I did feel like Dean Chu’s gaze towards the young master was special, didn’t I?"

Pausing, he laughed, "A little like there’s affection?"

Aunt Yun’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, shaking her head: "What young affection drama are you talking about? At my age, I neither want nor care to look at such things.

Dean Chu’s gaze towards that young master had a bit of affection, but that’s not important!

At this moment, do I have the mind to care about other people’s trivial romantic gossip?!"

Liu Zhaoming instantly came to his senses, his body trembled, and he collected his gaze: "So, Aunt Yun, your meaning is..."

"Dean Chu’s gaze towards that young master carries more respect, obedience, and... admiration!"

"..."

Only then did Liu Zhaoming realize, as he’s not really dumb. Raised as an elite in the family, he too is smart, and immediately responded: "So... this kind of gaze shows that even Dean Chu herself considers that young master stronger and more impressive than Chu Keqing!"

Chu Keqing is an authentic and capable Profound Cultivator, that’s beyond doubt. So, someone who Chu Keqing admires, how could they lack real skill!

Liu Zhaoming pondered in silence for a few seconds before fully realizing, his eyes shining: "In that case, Father, Father really can wake up?!"

Aunt Yun took a deep breath — he’s realized, there’s hope.

"The most important thing right now isn’t whether your father can wake up! Since this expert has real skills, and said such words, your father is certain to wake up within an hour!

The key is no longer here! It’s in what he said before leaving, he said, if there’s still anything to find him for..."

Liu Zhaoming’s expression changed!

Anything else...

What else could there be?

The matter of Father waking up is already done, if there’s anything else, it would be...

Better prospects?!

"Meaning, he might be able to accomplish more, a better future!" Liu Zhaoming suddenly felt elated.

"But considering your earlier performance, I’m afraid his impression of our Liu family might not be very good." Aunt Yun smiled bitterly.

"Me?" Liu Zhaoming frowned: "It wasn’t just my issue earlier, my little sister also..."

"Your father is ill, you are the spokesperson for the Liu family!" Aunt Yun’s tone was stern: "Didn’t you notice? Earlier your sister said several unpleasant things, he didn’t even glance at your sister, he only looked at you, the spokesperson of the Liu family.

He only cared about the attitude of the spokesperson, what your sister said, he doesn’t care at all."

Liu Zhaoming bowed his head in thought: "So, he might be dissatisfied with my role as the spokesperson, Aunt Yun, you’re right, I really did lose points earlier.

For such a truly skilled expert, I should really try to befriend them!
