Su Lin did not expect Xiao Feiyuâs mentality to be so fragile,having his spirit unsettled within just a few days of arriving in Donghai.
But then again,he thought it was normal;the current Xiao Feiyu wasnât the same person who had endured repeated setbacks beforeâhe was a nobody from a parallel world.Logically,having crossed over to become a wealthy second-generation,he should be enjoying life surrounded by beauties,but none of this was his reality.
His days in Donghai had been exceedingly frustrating,not just getting slapped in the face by Su Lin,but also constantly ridiculed by Jiang Ruoxi,and bullied by Li Ziyu,Zhao Yanyan,and Lin Xiaowan in turns.Being bullied and unable to retaliate,it was normal for his psyche to break under such oppression.
Su Lin waved his hand dismissively;âAlright,you guys can go now.â
Ma Junjie and Wang Tao,feeling like they had been granted a reprieve,quickly left,and Xiao Feiyu,after giving Su Lin a serious look,followed suit.
Su Lin turned to Li Ziyu and Jiang Ruoxi;âThis isnât a good place to talk,letâs find somewhere else to sit.â
Li Ziyu looked at Jiang Ruoxi,who nodded;âThank you,Su Lin.â
Su Lin waved his hand;âNo need to thank me.I came rushing over because I heard Ziyu was here and I was worried about her safety.â
Li Ziyu didnât say anything,her lips curling up slightly,her eyes filled with deep affection as she gazed at Su Lin.
Unable to withstand such a gaze,Su Lin quickly said;âLetâs go,weâll leave this place to Luo Sihai.â
Li Ziyu nodded,and then followed Su Lin with Jiang Ruoxi.
As Ma Junjie and Wang Tao left the bar,the women behind them were still in shock,not expecting that their fun spectating would turn them into the spectacle.
Even Ma Junjie had to swallow his pride today.He scoffed,then looking back at Xiao Feiyu with a dark tone,said;âReally bad luck.â
Wang Tao also nodded;âSuffered for nothing.â
âNext time we go out,weâd better keep our eyes peeled,âMa Junjie hinted ominously.
In Donghai,he dared not touch Su Lin because the Ma family currently needed the Su family,but Xiao Feiyu was different.He saw that there was a clear conflict between Xiao Feiyu and Su Lin,especially over Jiang Ruoxi.
It seemed to Ma Junjie that the woman Xiao Feiyu liked had fallen for another man,which he found particularly amusing.He looked at Xiao Feiyu with a mocking face.
Xiao Feiyu glanced at Ma Junjie,then looked away and got into his car to leave.
âJust like that?Moduâs top young master canât even win over a woman.âMa Junjie shook his head,then signaled to a few women to get into his car.
Seeing this,Wang Tao turned and got into his own McLaren.
Su Lin,Jiang Ruoxi,and Li Ziyu found a quiet lounge.Su Lin,looking at Jiang Ruoxi,said softly;âIf you want to drink and unwind in the future,you can come here.Itâs not as chaotic as a bar.â
Jiang Ruoxi nodded.
âZiyu,what suddenly made you want to go to the bar tonight?âSu Lin asked curiously.
Li Ziyu replied softly;âRuoxi said that Xiao Feiyu had already told his parents about canceling the engagement,so she was a bit happy and dragged me out to celebrate.â
Su Lin realized;âI see,then we should definitely congratulate Ruoxi.â
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head;âI think celebration is not appropriate right now actually.Xiao Feiyu clearly hasnât given up.Otherwise,he wouldnât have shown up at the bar tonight.I now seriously suspect that him telling his aunt about the canceled engagement was just a delaying tactic.â
Su Lin internally applauded Jiang Ruoxi but voiced out;âWhy would you think that?â
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head;âI donât know,but I feel that itâs probably the case.â
âYou need to be careful then.I always feel thereâs something off about Xiao Feiyu,like heâs hiding something deep.âLi Ziyu cautioned.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded;âI didnât notice before,but after coming to Donghai,I feel the same.Itâs like heâs hidden himself,and we only see what he wants us to see.I donât know why he suddenly became so profound.â
Su Lin laughed;âWhatever his reasons,as long as he doesnât bother me.But if he does,Iâll show him why the flower is so red.â
Li Ziyu glared at Su Lin;âStop thinking about fighting all the time.Itâs dangerous.You should focus on running the company instead.â
âHey,Ziyu,you sound like a nagging wife.âJiang Ruoxi teased.
Li Ziyuâs face turned a shade redder,but she maintained her composure and said softly;âIâm just telling the truth,Su Lin.Think about how many times youâve gotten into fights since you met me.More and more powerful families are coming to Donghai,itâs better to be careful.â
Su Lin nodded;âIâll try.Tonight,I only threw that bottle because I saw you guys nearby.I was afraid Xiao Feiyu might hurt you.â
Knowing Li Ziyu was right,Su Lin began to reflect.Since arriving in Donghai,he indeed started a quieter life,preferring action to arguments.His philosophy was simple;all schemes and intrigues vanish in the face of absolute power.
Because he was strong,and with major families controlling resources now,he had dared to act without reservation.
But with Lin Guoqiangâs arrival and more prominent families settling in,Su Lin knew he had to think twice before acting as Su Corporation was now under scrutiny.However,regarding Xiao Feiyu,Su Lin felt it was better to act first rather than argue,seizing any opportunity to strike decisively.
âIâm just giving you a heads-up,but with your intelligence,you probably donât need my advice.â
Su Lin smiled;âIn a few days,my dad is hosting a banquet for all the major families in Donghai to discuss potential collaborations.Ziyu,youâve already talked with my dad so I wonât say more.Ruoxi,if the Jiang family is interested in collaboration,you might want to inform them now.â
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Su Lin surprised;âSu Lin,you mean our Jiang family is also involved in this collaboration?â
âOf course,with so many major families coming with huge appetites,itâs impossible to cater to everyone,so be prepared if you want to collaborate.â
âDonât worry.Although our Jiang family isnât the top family in Modu,we are one of the leaders and in some areas even stronger than the Xiao family.There wonât be any problems,âJiang Ruoxi said confidently.
Su Lin had no doubts about this.
âItâs getting late,we should all head home.I have to work tomorrow.â
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin curiously;âYou?Work?I heard from Xiaowan and the others that you hardly go to the company.â
Su Lin sighed;âYou think I want to?Not my Rainforest company,but Su Corporation.â@@novelbin@@
âSu Corporation?Your dad is letting you take over company tasks?â
Su Lin nodded with a pained expression;âHis company is only well-established in real estate.Everything else,like research institutes and factories,was bought,itâs quite a mess.Just thinking about going there as deputy manager gives me a headache.â
âHeh,I think your dad did the right thing.Itâs good for you to work at the company instead of causing trouble everywhere.â
Su Lin cried injustice;âCausing trouble?Ziyu,youâre really wronging me here.When have I caused trouble?Iâve been cleaning up after you more often than not.â
âBang~!â
Li Ziyu gently kicked Su Lin;âHow can you speak like that?When have I ever made youâ¦?â
âHa ha ha,Ziyu,even you get embarrassed,âJiang Ruoxi laughed heartily without caring about her image.
Su Lin also laughed;Li Ziyuâs cheeks were tinged with a flush under the lights,making her incredibly beautiful.It was a pity Jiang Ruoxi was there;otherwise,Su Lin would have made a move.
Su Lin glanced at Jiang Ruoxi,who,though beautiful,was somewhat careless about her image.Thatâs probably a womanâs confidence,she was extremely confident in her looks,so she didnât worry about her image crumbling.
The trio chatted a bit more before heading home.Su Lin wanted to escort Li Ziyu and Jiang Ruoxi,but seeing that Liâs family had arrived,he gave up the idea.
âZiyu,this Su Lin is really good.Are you planning to continue like this?â
Li Ziyu looked out the window and murmured;âIf not like this,then what?Join them?You donât know how complicated the backgrounds of Su Linâs other girlfriends are.â
âThe most important thing isnât that,itâs that Su Lin and they have a foundation of feelings,itâs not just because theyâre beautiful that he brings them into his room.What if they fight later?â
Jiang Ruoxi responded;âThen youâre just going to give up?You should know that a womanâs happiness needs to be fought for,especially someone as popular as Su Lin.If one of them wins him over and marries him,Iâd like to see how youâd cry then.â
Li Ziyu shook her head;âRuoxi,you donât understand Su Lin.He would never give up others for one.Take Lin Xiaowan,for instance.Su Lin obviously likes her the most,but as far as I know,Lin Xiaowan has never mentioned this sort of thing,not a word.â
Jiang Ruoxi sighed;âXiaowan is also a very clever girl.Ziyu,you have a rival.â
Li Ziyu shook her head and said earnestly to Jiang Ruoxi;âRuoxi,actually,what Iâm most worried about is you.â
âMe?What are you worried about me for?âJiang Ruoxi asked puzzled.
Li Ziyu sighed;âSu Linâs charm is really great.Iâm afraid that if you stay with us too long,youâll also be drawn to him like a moth to a flame.â
âThatâs impossibleâ¦I wonât share a man with other women,âJiang Ruoxi stated categorically.
Li Ziyu smiled at this.
Jiang Ruoxi was still very confident,which was just like her initially,wasnât it?Who would have thought that before meeting Su Lin,Li Ziyu wouldnât have considered any man worthy?But after meeting Su Lin,she felt her boundaries were slowly disintegrating.
âAhâ¦just listen to me..â
âHeh,donât worry.Although Su Lin is outstanding,heâs not the only outstanding second-generation in Xia country.My Jiang familyâs status,even a union with a top-tier family from the capital wouldnât be a problem,âJiang Ruoxi said confidently.
Seeing this,Li Ziyu said no more,her warning was given,what Jiang Ruoxi chose to do was not her concern anymore.
