At the private room door of Fish Leap Tower, a man and a woman appeared one after another.
"Cousin, I've been waiting for you for ages. Hurry up and co over!" The girl in the black dress quickly stood up and enthusiastically called out to Su Qiong.
Seeing Su Qiong appear, Su Ziming's face imdiately darkened.
When Su Qiong spotted Su Ziming, her expression turned sour, not expecting to see that guy here.
"Xiao Yan, didn't you say there would be no outsiders today?" Su Qiong said to the girl in the black dress with a stern face.
This girl was none other than her aunt's child, Leng Yan.
Among all the mbers of the Su and Leng families, Leng Yan was her only friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have co today, but she was sowhat displeased with her deceit now.
"Oh my, cousin, you're quite temperantal today. We've all beco outsiders now, huh? I heard that back in Binzhou, because of you, my second brother even transferred schools. Looks like you've climbed up the social ladder and don't regard us with any importance anymore!" Su Zixuan spoke in a mocking tone beside her.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziming's gloomy face beca even more unsightly.
Su Qiong's expression turned icy when she saw it was Su Zixuan from her fourth uncle's family, and she couldn't help but snort coldly. She didn't have much affection for these relatives of the Su family, so naturally, she didn't bother to show them any kindness.
She had always been strong-willed, and although she had been looked down upon by these people all her life, she had never been timid. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to establish the only female Martial Arts Pavilion at school.
Leng Yan was just about to scold soone when she suddenly noticed another figure appearing at the door following Su Qiong's entrance—a handso young man!
She looked at Su Qiong with full surprise, wondering who this person was!
"Cousin, he is...." Leng Yan stumbled over her words as she turned her gaze from Ling Fan to Su Qiong.
Never mind the others, when Su Ziming caught sight of Ling Fan, his mind blew up in an instant!
"Damn it, why is he here?" Su Ziming cursed inwardly, unable to hold back.
"Huh?" Even Su Zixuan furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at Ling Fan.
The mont Ling Fan entered the room, he also saw Su Ziming and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, glanced dismissively, and then withdrew his attention.
"He's a friend of mine, nad Ling Fan," Su Qiong introduced to Leng Yan.
"Oh!" Leng Yan nodded with an awkward smile.
"You there, you're called Ling Fan, right? I have sothing to discuss with Sister Su Qiong, go find yourself a seat!" Leng Yan said sowhat displeased.
Ling Fan smiled and didn't take it to heart. The table could seat about ten people, and there were plenty of empty seats. He imdiately pulled up a chair and sat down on his own.
"Sister Qiong, what's your relationship with him? Don't tell he's your boyfriend!" Leng Yan whispered to Su Qiong.
Although she spoke softly, with Ling Fan's keen senses, he overheard everything but paid no attention, simply pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking leisurely.
Su Qiong stole a glance at Ling Fan. She did indeed wish Ling Fan were her boyfriend, suddenly rembering that her family seed to be arranging a match for her.
She answered noncommittally, "I've heard that the family wants to arrange a match for this ti, do you know about this?"
Leng Yan playfully blinked, leaning close to Su Qiong's ear and whispered, "Hehe, guess?"
Su Qiong frowned, realizing it was true, and said sowhat displeased, "How would I guess? Stop beating around the bush, little miss, and tell what's going on!"
Leng Yan stuck out her tongue, "You're no fun. I'll tell you, it's my cousin, Leng Chuan. Hehe, didn't expect that, did you!"
"Huh? You're from the Leng family?" Su Qiong's face changed instantly, never having dreamt that it would be the Leng family from the Imperial Capital. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
If it had been any other ordinary family, she might have been able to resist, but the Leng family... she had almost no ability to fight back!
"What's the matter, Sister Su Qiong? You don't seem very happy. Actually, my cousin isn't that bad!" Leng Yan began to persuade.
"Whether he's bad or not is none of my concern. I don't want to get married right now. Have my parents agreed to this?" Su Qiong said, her face looking sowhat unpleasant.
"Sister Su Qiong, the Family Head made this decision. Do you think Uncle and Aunt could resist him?" Leng Yan said sheepishly.
Su Qiong took a deep breath; she wanted to hurry ho and talk with her parents.
Just then, Su Ziming finally recovered from his shocked state of mind, his gaze at Ling Fan transforming from astonishnt, shock, and fear to annoyance and anger.
"Damn it, fucking hell, what a small world. You had a path to heaven but you chose not to take it, and there's no gate to Hell but you break in. You acted tough in Binzhou, fine, but you fucking dare to follow that bitch Su Qiong and step into my Su Family's door?" Su Ziming thought bitterly to himself.
At that mont, Su Zixuan also ca around and sized Ling Fan up and down a few tis, noticing his second brother Su Ziming's expression, his heart suddenly stirred, "Second brother, don't tell it's this guy who got you transferred out of school?"
He rembered that Su Ziming had ntioned Ling Fan's na and the incident in Binzhou once; it couldn't be that this was the guy, and what's more, he returned with Su Qiong.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziming imdiately flushed red with embarrassnt, feeling utterly faceless.
"Fourth Elder, don't talk nonsense. Even you would have to kneel and beg for rcy in front of this big shot!" Su Ziming sneered, his thoughts turning.
The humiliation of his transfer out of school that he suffered had been dug up by these youngsters and had beco a topic of discussion after dinner in the younger generation of the Su family, subjecting him to their jokes and ridicule.
Hatching a cunning plan, he thought, why should he be the only one to suffer indignity? Imdiately, he sched to divert the disaster elsewhere, to have them also taste the sa experience.
If he could beat this young man, he would consider it a revenge; if not, then they would all be humiliated together.
Ling Fan ignored the conversation between the two, finding it amusing in his heart. It seed that the younger generation of the Su family wasn't so harmonious after all!
Without much care, he sat there savoring the fragrant tea in his cup.
Su Zixuan licked his lips, realizing that relations among their young generation really weren't harmonious. Everyone was in competition with each other on the surface and secretly; who didn't covet the position of Family Head?
In families like theirs, succession wasn't determined by seniority but by ability and rit.
Therefore, the competition among them was quite fierce, especially since the incident with Su Ziming in Binzhou cost him a lot of points among the younger generation, inevitably leading to murmurs behind his back.
Now the guy who had humiliated his second brother was sitting right in front of him. If he could regain so pride and face, wouldn't his position among the younger family mbers be solidified?
At the very least, he could step over the head of Su Ziming and suppress him.
Just as Su Qiong was about to stand up and ask Ling Fan to leave, she suddenly changed her expression, not expecting Su Ziming to be so cunning, to incite Su Zixuan's temper.
To think, Su Zixuan's father was a general in the Huaxia Canglong Army, not soone Ling Fan could afford to offend!
Not wanting to be entangled with these people anymore, she quickly said to Ling Fan, "Ling Fan, let's go!"
Seeing Su Qiong's seemingly scared attitude, Su Zixuan's gaze flickered slyly, feeling assured, he chuckled, "Sister, you just got here and you're leaving without even getting your seat warm. That's quite disrespectful!"
He then looked toward Ling Fan, who sat composedly, feeling quite displeased and snorted coldly, "Also, kid, I heard you forced my second brother to transfer schools. Today, you even have the guts to walk through this door. Quite brave!
Now, I demand that you kneel and apologize to my second brother!"
