"Okay, then Ruohan and I will head back first,"
Lin Wenting said and led Lin Ruohan toward the car. Halfway there, Lin Ruohan turned around and made a face at Su Chen, provoking both laughter and tears from him.
Today, the happiest person might just be this little girl.
Shortly afterward, Su Chen also drove away from the place...
"What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyeballs out!"
The utterly humiliated Situ Jiao, seeing everyone staring at her, suddenly shouted at them.
However, that shout instantly caused pain to flare up in the corners of her mouth, which were already bleeding from Su Chen's earlier tearing...
The other people were frightened by her shout and scurried back to their seats.
After leaving the restaurant, Su Chen went to a building a block away from the Rainbow Mansion, where Yunlong's subordinates had just rented two floors of office space.
Unlike Lin Ruoxue, Yunlong wasn't opening a branch here but was planning to move the entire investnt company that was allocated to his na to this place at once.
"Is there anything else you need help with?"
After arriving at the two floors that Yunlong had rented, Su Chen inquired.
"Big Brother, there's nothing much left. I can leave these matters to my subordinates,"
Yunlong was accustod to being a hands-off shopkeeper; unless there was a major issue, his team could handle it.
"Mm, I'll put in a word for you about the approval process. It should be taken care of very soon,"
Su Chen casually remarked.
"That would be great. If anything is troubleso, it's just that the approval process is too slow, but I understand, after all, this is Yandu!"
Yunlong called over a man in a black suit standing beside him:
"You heard that, the approval will co through quickly. You need to hurry up with the other stuff, okay?"
"Is this reliable? So people can't get through the approval even with many connections, and this young man..."
The man in the black suit cast a doubtful glance at Su Chen, clearly not believing in his capabilities.
"Damn, he's my big brother. If he says it can be done, then it can be done. In any case, get the other things done for , and I want it all settled within a week!"
Yunlong glared at the man, then said:
"Co on, et him. This is my big brother. From now on, you call him Mr. Su. Big Brother, this is Mo Peng, the general manager of this investnt group. He's a Wharton Business School graduate and has been with for several years."
"Hello, Mr. Su."
Although the man didn't seem to have much respect for Su Chen and even thought he was unreliable, considering his relationship with the boss, he reluctantly greeted him.
Su Chen simply nodded, not minding the slight contempt in the other's eyes.
"Alright, you keep busy here, I'm heading out."
Su Chen was just looking around, and didn't have other business to attend to.
"Alright, then. Let see you out."
Yunlong then escorted Su Chen to the ground floor and went back up after Su Chen had left.
Seeing as there was nothing else for him to do, Su Chen once again drove to the villa that Zhuge had given him and entered one of the rooms, ready to start cultivating.
At that mont, he took out the Restorative Pills he had gleaned from Zhuge Shaman and considered swallowing them to speed up his cultivation. After a thought, he decided it was better to save them for a breakthrough.
Moreover, if he did make a breakthrough this ti, his strength would probably be close to his previous peak condition, right?
He was indeed curious to know just how strong he would beco once he cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique to the verge of ridian Expansion.
Even if he really reached that realm, he did not believe he would be invincible.
First and foremost, the strength of the forces behind Tang Gang felt sowhat terrifying. After all, those people had twice made a move, each ti deploying so many at the Qi Refinent Peak.
To say that among those forces there weren't even stronger experts would obviously be impossible.
What's more, he still didn't know just how powerful his old ghost of a master's forces were. Every ti he asked, the old ghost would simply say, "Stronger than you," driving Su Chen to the point of spitting blood with frustration.
Even without considering his own master, how strong Zhuge Dongming, that old shaman, genuinely was, remained unknown to him.
Although that old shaman was always at a disadvantage when facing him, he knew that the old man simply didn't bother with him, a junior...
However, overthinking was pointless. It was better to seize the ti to improve himself—that was the true path.
He then sat down cross-legged on the bed and began his cultivation.
......
anwhile, in a room of the Situ Family in Yandu, Situ Lei was reading a book.
You should not think that the young offspring of Yandu's great families do nothing but chase girls, put on airs, indulge in drinking, and seek pleasure all day. Their efforts are not inferior at all.
They might seem glorious, but what they carry on their shoulders is the legacy of their families. The pressure is much greater than what ordinary people face!
Therefore, the majority of the younger generation, who have the chance to advance further within their families, are quite capable. As for cunning and intelligence, they far surpass their peers. Otherwise, how could they let their families survive, even prosper and expand, in this world where the weak are prey to the strong?
Just as Situ Lei was concentrating on his book, suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open violently, and a frantic figure rushed in.
"Ah Jiao, what's happened to you?"
Situ Lei looked up and saw his sister, her hair disheveled, her face flushed with red marks and finger imprints, and the corners of her mouth bore clear bruises and oozing blood. He imdiately exclaid in shock!
"What happened? If not for that cheap woman?"
Situ Jiao said furiously.
"That cheap woman, who are you talking about exactly?"
Situ Lei asked, completely confused.
"Who else but Lin Wenting, that cheap woman?"
"You ran into her, she did this?" Situ Lei frowned, "She shouldn't have the audacity!"
"Not her, but it's not unrelated to her. She's got a lover; it was her lover who did this!"
Situ Jiao had always presud Su Chen and Lin Wenting had that kind of relationship, considering Lin Wenting did appear rather alluring, and given she wasn't lacking money, finding a younger man wasn't impossible.
"Big brother, I don't care, you must avenge ! I want that pair of dogs to die a horrible death!"
Situ Jiao's eyes were filled with an angry fla.
"That man is no problem, but be careful with Lin Wenting. After all, she and father have a daughter, and if father blas us, we won't be able to handle the consequences!"
Situ Lei pondered for a mont before saying and then glanced at Situ Jiao:
"Don't let mother know about this, if she finds out, the Zheng Family will get involved, and it will inevitably lead to Lin Wenting, which will make it difficult for father."
"Isn't that letting that cheap woman off too easily?"
Situ Jiao certainly didn't want to let Lin Wenting off, but she also knew that matters within big families were not that simple.
This was because her and Situ Lei's mother was no other than Zheng Lan, the sister of the Family Head of the Zheng Family.
The Situ and Zheng Families, being the two least powerful among the Five Great Families, could only cling tightly together to stand against the other three families. And the best way to band together, of course, was through marital alliances...
