"Hmm!" Gao Jun nodded, then glanced at Leng Xuan with a casual but unmistakably displeased look.
Seeing his second cousin’s expression, Gao Xu mistook it as a signal for Leng Xuan to make way. Seeing that Leng Xuan remained seated without moving, Gao Xu imdiately grew annoyed. He thought to himself, ’My second cousin is giving you face and you actually refuse it?’ He disdainfully swept his gaze over Leng Xuan and said, "So you are Leng Xuan?"
Leng Xuan glanced at Gao Xu and sure enough, the guy was looking for trouble. For these young masters who relied on their family’s status to act arrogantly everywhere, he had never harbored much affection. However, out of consideration for Su Yurou present, he wanted to maintain the image of a good brother, and it was with reluctance that he grunted a response, "Is there sothing wrong?"
If it were a usual day, Leng Xuan wouldn’t have even deigned to glance at the other party. The fact that he spoke was already giving the other party a lot of face.
But Gao Xu certainly didn’t think that Leng Xuan was showing him any respect. Both he and Gao Jun, as scions of the Gao Family, were accustod to looking down on others. In all of Tenglong, there were very few people he deed worthy of his regard. Although Leng Xuan had tad the school’s second tyrant Huang Xiaojun and Xu Renjie, in his eyes, Xu Renjie and Huang Xiaojun were rely two thugs, not fit to be compared with a prestigious family scion like himself.
Noticing that Leng Xuan’s tone sounded impatient, Gao Xu imdiately flared up, "You sure know how to act, huh? Do you know who she is?" While speaking, he pointed at Su Yurou and, without waiting for Leng Xuan to speak, he continued, "She’s my sister-in-law. Don’t think just because you managed to bully Huang Xiaojun and Xu Renjie that you’re capable. Let tell you, in Tenglong, the truly powerful aren’t those lowly thugs, but scions of prestigious family like us. Huh, daring to compete with my second cousin over a woman, didn’t you think to inquire beforehand? Are scions of the Gao Family soone you, a nobody, can afford to offend? If you know what’s good for you, get lost now, or you’ll definitely regret it..."
"Heh!" Leng Xuan laughed mockingly. To him, Gao Xu was nothing but a clown. If the guy hadn’t provoked him, he would have had no interest in bickering with him. However, the fellow had the audacity to insult him to his face, calling him a nobody. That was truly intolerable! Yet before he could react, he heard Su Yurou say with anger, "Gao Xu, don’t talk nonsense. When did I beco your sister-in-law? Also, my relationship with Brother Leng Xuan is just like siblings. Don’t you think you’re ddling too much?" While speaking, she also glanced unhappily at Gao Jun, expecting him to handle Gao Xu.
In truth, when Su Yurou said her relationship with Leng Xuan was just like siblings, even she felt a pang of sorrow. But she knew that the Gao Family was powerful and feared Leng Xuan getting into trouble with them would be very botherso. That’s why she stood up to clarify her relationship with Leng Xuan so that the brothers from the Gao Family would understand that she and Brother Leng Xuan were not in a romantic relationship as rumored in school.
Gao Jun was taken aback to see Su Yurou actually getting angry, as in his mory, Su Yurou had always been gentle and obedient, never showing temper towards anyone. He froze for a mont. However, Gao Jun wasn’t foolish; he was well-aware of Su Yurou’s personality. Although she stepped forward to clarify her kin-like relationship with Leng Xuan, the more she did so, the angrier he beca. Clearly, Yurou was defending Leng Xuan. He sneered inwardly, gave Gao Xu a look, and made no statent, but sotis, no statent amounts to tacit consent!
