LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 213
Chapter 213:The flag is flying high
Su Lin did not expect Xiao Feiyu’s 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 wasn’t the same person who had endured repeated setbacks before—he 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;“Alright,you guys can go now.”
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;“This isn’t a good place to talk,let’s find somewhere else to sit.”
Li Ziyu looked at Jiang Ruoxi,who nodded;“Thank you,Su Lin.”
Su Lin waved his hand;“No need to thank me.I came rushing over because I heard Ziyu was here and I was worried about her safety.”
Li Ziyu didn’t 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;“Let’s go,we’ll leave this place to Luo Sihai.”
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;“Really bad luck.”
Wang Tao also nodded;“Suffered for nothing.”
“Next time we go out,we’d better keep our eyes peeled,”Ma 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.
“Just like that?Modu’s top young master can’t even win over a woman.”Ma 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;“If you want to drink and unwind in the future,you can come here.It’s not as chaotic as a bar.”
Jiang Ruoxi nodded.
“Ziyu,what suddenly made you want to go to the bar tonight?”Su Lin asked curiously.
Li Ziyu replied softly;“Ruoxi 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.”
Su Lin realized;“I see,then we should definitely congratulate Ruoxi.”
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head;“I think celebration is not appropriate right now actually.Xiao Feiyu clearly hasn’t given up.Otherwise,he wouldn’t 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.”
Su Lin internally applauded Jiang Ruoxi but voiced out;“Why would you think that?”
Jiang Ruoxi shook her head;“I don’t know,but I feel that it’s probably the case.”
“You need to be careful then.I always feel there’s something off about Xiao Feiyu,like he’s hiding something deep.”Li Ziyu cautioned.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded;“I didn’t notice before,but after coming to Donghai,I feel the same.It’s like he’s hidden himself,and we only see what he wants us to see.I don’t know why he suddenly became so profound.”
Su Lin laughed;“Whatever his reasons,as long as he doesn’t bother me.But if he does,I’ll show him why the flower is so red.”
Li Ziyu glared at Su Lin;“Stop thinking about fighting all the time.It’s dangerous.You should focus on running the company instead.”
“Hey,Ziyu,you sound like a nagging wife.”Jiang Ruoxi teased.
Li Ziyu’s face turned a shade redder,but she maintained her composure and said softly;“I’m just telling the truth,Su Lin.Think about how many times you’ve gotten into fights since you met me.More and more powerful families are coming to Donghai,it’s better to be careful.”
Su Lin nodded;“I’ll try.Tonight,I only threw that bottle because I saw you guys nearby.I was afraid Xiao Feiyu might hurt you.”
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 Guoqiang’s 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.
“I’m just giving you a heads-up,but with your intelligence,you probably don’t need my advice.”
Su Lin smiled;“In a few days,my dad is hosting a banquet for all the major families in Donghai to discuss potential collaborations.Ziyu,you’ve already talked with my dad so I won’t say more.Ruoxi,if the Jiang family is interested in collaboration,you might want to inform them now.”
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Su Lin surprised;“Su Lin,you mean our Jiang family is also involved in this collaboration?”
“Of course,with so many major families coming with huge appetites,it’s impossible to cater to everyone,so be prepared if you want to collaborate.”
“Don’t worry.Although our Jiang family isn’t the top family in Modu,we are one of the leaders and in some areas even stronger than the Xiao family.There won’t be any problems,”Jiang Ruoxi said confidently.
Su Lin had no doubts about this.
“It’s getting late,we should all head home.I have to work tomorrow.”
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin curiously;“You?Work?I heard from Xiaowan and the others that you hardly go to the company.”
Su Lin sighed;“You think I want to?Not my Rainforest company,but Su Corporation.”
“Su Corporation?Your dad is letting you take over company tasks?”
Su Lin nodded with a pained expression;“His company is only well-established in real estate.Everything else,like research institutes and factories,was bought,it’s quite a mess.Just thinking about going there as deputy manager gives me a headache.”
“Heh,I think your dad did the right thing.It’s good for you to work at the company instead of causing trouble everywhere.”
Su Lin cried injustice;“Causing trouble?Ziyu,you’re really wronging me here.When have I caused trouble?I’ve been cleaning up after you more often than not.”
“Bang~!”
Li Ziyu gently kicked Su Lin;“How can you speak like that?When have I ever made you…?”
“Ha ha ha,Ziyu,even you get embarrassed,”Jiang Ruoxi laughed heartily without caring about her image.
Su Lin also laughed;Li Ziyu’s 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.That’s probably a woman’s confidence,she was extremely confident in her looks,so she didn’t 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 Li’s family had arrived,he gave up the idea.
“Ziyu,this Su Lin is really good.Are you planning to continue like this?”
Li Ziyu looked out the window and murmured;“If not like this,then what?Join them?You don’t know how complicated the backgrounds of Su Lin’s other girlfriends are.”
“The most important thing isn’t that,it’s that Su Lin and they have a foundation of feelings,it’s not just because they’re beautiful that he brings them into his room.What if they fight later?”
Jiang Ruoxi responded;“Then you’re just going to give up?You should know that a woman’s happiness needs to be fought for,especially someone as popular as Su Lin.If one of them wins him over and marries him,I’d like to see how you’d cry then.”
Li Ziyu shook her head;“Ruoxi,you don’t 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.”
Jiang Ruoxi sighed;“Xiaowan is also a very clever girl.Ziyu,you have a rival.”
Li Ziyu shook her head and said earnestly to Jiang Ruoxi;“Ruoxi,actually,what I’m most worried about is you.”
“Me?What are you worried about me for?”Jiang Ruoxi asked puzzled.
Li Ziyu sighed;“Su Lin’s charm is really great.I’m afraid that if you stay with us too long,you’ll also be drawn to him like a moth to a flame.”
“That’s impossible…I won’t share a man with other women,”Jiang Ruoxi stated categorically.
Li Ziyu smiled at this.
Jiang Ruoxi was still very confident,which was just like her initially,wasn’t it?Who would have thought that before meeting Su Lin,Li Ziyu wouldn’t have considered any man worthy?But after meeting Su Lin,she felt her boundaries were slowly disintegrating.
“Ah…just listen to me..”
“Heh,don’t worry.Although Su Lin is outstanding,he’s not the only outstanding second-generation in Xia country.My Jiang family’s status,even a union with a top-tier family from the capital wouldn’t be a problem,”Jiang 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.
