"Forget it, let’s not talk about it."
Tang Ming shook his head and changed the subject, asking, "How are my friends doing?"
This kind of situation is sowhat insulting to the Su Family. He’s Su Xiaoxi’s fiancé, yet he went to get engaged with Lin Xue. Although it was forced, explaining it is still troubleso.
It’s better to wait until the news spreads, and let the Su Family negotiate with the Lin Family themselves.
"They’re doing great. I specially arranged for people to entertain them in the Imperial City, and they’re very satisfied with my arrangents."
Su Tianyu quickly responded.
"That’s good. Thanks to their help, we were able to win in the final group battle this ti. When I return, I’ll definitely thank them properly."
Tang Ming nodded with a smile, referring to Shen Yan and the others.
"Don’t worry, since they’re your friends, the Su Family definitely won’t treat them poorly."
Su Tianyu solemnly nodded in assurance.
Now, Shen Yan and the others are completely enjoying themselves. Given their previous identities, they never dared to be high profile in a complex and heavily guarded city like the Imperial City, as they could easily expose their identities.
But now, with the Su Family’s backing and the protection of the Dark Group, these three who can’t show their identities can practically walk openly in the Imperial City, and all expenses are covered by the Su Family, making it incredibly fun.
After confirming Shen Yan and the others are fine, Tang Ming rubbed his brows, yawning as he said:
"I drank a bit too much at the Lin Family. If there’s nothing urgent, I’ll go rest."
"Wait a mont."
Su Tianyu quickly raised his hand, frowning: "The Wu Family and the Long Family have successively invited you to their hos for a feast. Seeing you went to the Lin Family, I agreed on your behalf."
"Huh?"
Tang Ming was montarily stunned, looking at Su Tianyou in confusion: "Why are they inviting to dinner?"
"Naturally they want to properly thank you. Now that you’ve visited the Lin Family, if you don’t go to the Wu Family and the Long Family, it won’t look good. So I made the decision on my own and accepted their invitation for you to visit the Wu Family tomorrow and the Long Family the day after. Is that okay?"
Su Tianyu looked sowhat apologetically at Tang Ming.
"Sure! Since I’m here in the Imperial City, thanks to the care of you several families, I should also visit the Wu Family and Long Family."
Although Tang Ming was sowhat reluctant to socialize, he realized he should pay a visit, as he might need their help in the future.
"Great! In that case, take a good rest; the Wu Family will send soone to pick you up tomorrow morning."
Su Tianyu nodded repeatedly and reminded him with concern.
"Then I’ll go rest first."
Tang Ming didn’t stand on ceremony and got up to leave.
"Xiaoxi, why are you still standing there? Hurry and go tend to your fiancé, help him wash up and rest."
Old Master Su glared at Su Xiaoxi, commanding reproachfully.
"Oh."
Su Xiaoxi reluctantly nodded.
"No need, no need, I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself, I’ll manage it myself."
Tang Ming quickly shook his head and hurriedly escaped the hall.
Just kidding, if Su Xiaoxi undresses him completely again, he can’t be sure he can resist the temptation.
Seeing Tang Ming’s disdain, Su Xiaoxi almost burst with anger.
"Not good."
Not long after Tang Ming left, a young man resembling Su Xiaoxi rushed in; he was Su Xiaoxi’s brother, Su Zhantang.
"Flustered and unruly, what’s wrong?"
Su Tianyu looked displeased at Su Zhantang.
"Dad, Grandpa, there’s bad news."
Su Zhantang swallowed and said anxiously:
"I just got the news, Tang Xin is now the son-in-law of the Lin Family."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Su Family father and son, and Su Xiaoxi were shocked.
"The news is absolutely true. Lin Family Head Lin Qingfeng personally announced that Tang Xin is engaged to Lin Xue."
Su Zhantang glanced at Su Xiaoxi, gritting his teeth as he said:
"This Tang Xin is really too much. As my sister’s fiancé, he actually agreed to get engaged to Lin Xue from the Lin Family. What do they think of our Su Family?"
"Shut up."
Su Tianyu coldly glared at Su Zhantang, his face grim as he looked at the old master: "Father, this matter ca too suddenly, what should we do?"
Old Master Su frowned, pondered for a mont, and then spoke: "Call Lin Qingfeng imdiately, ask him what’s going on. It’s too outrageous for the Lin Family to blatantly steal soone."
"Alright."
Su Tianyu quickly took out his phone and dialed Lin Qingfeng’s number.
"Brother Su, what brings you to call ?"
After the call was connected, Lin Qingfeng’s joyful voice rang out.
"Brother Lin, you’re a bit too much, prying away soone from the Su Family. How can I face the Su Family in the future?"
Su Tianyu maintained a stern expression, put the phone on speaker, and questioned grumpily.
"Oh? What do you an by that?"
Lin Qingfeng expressed surprise.
"Don’t pretend. I’ve already heard about the Lin Family announcing Tang Xin’s marriage to Lin Xue. But Tang Xin is my daughter’s fiancé, Su Xiaoxi’s betrothed. Brother Lin, this is sowhat inappropriate, isn’t it?"
Su Tianyu questioned as seriously as he could.
"So that’s what this is about! I ant to personally inform Brother Su, but got caught up, and forgot."
Lin Qingfeng suddenly realized, indifferently said, "This matter is no big deal, right? After all, with soone as outstanding as Tang Xin, marrying several wives is pretty normal."
"Brother Lin, but Tang Xin is my daughter’s fiancé. The Su Family and Lin Family are reputable families. Aren’t you worried about being laughed at for taking my daughter’s fiancé?"
Su Tianyu’s tone turned grave.
"What’s there to laugh about here."
Lin Qingfeng hesitated, then said playfully, "The Lin Family is well aware of Tang Xin’s true identity, as well as the marriage and relationship with the Su Family. In fact, what the Lin Family is doing is similar to the Su Family; it’s rely to keep up appearances and bolster presence."
Upon hearing this, Su Tianyu’s face changed slightly, uncertainly looking at Su Xiaoxi.
Su Xiaoxi shrugged in bewildernt, indicating she didn’t know why the Lin Family would know the truth.
"Su Zhantang, you may leave now."
The old master waved to Su Zhantang, as the following matters shouldn’t be known to too many people.
"Yes!"
Su Zhantang nodded doubtfully but obediently left.
"Brother Lin, you really found out?"
Su Tianyu asked doubtfully.
"Of course, don’t forget it was my son Lin Canghai who introduced Tang Ming into the Dark Group. Moreover, it was initially the Lin Family that insisted on having Tang Ming as the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team. Even back then, Brother Su and others weren’t very agreeable, right?"
Lin Qingfeng smiled proudly, and said with emotion, "Fortunately, our Lin Family persisted, or we might have missed such talent."
