Chapter 399: Su Wanyue's Fiancé

"You say that after Thunder God met Lingyun, he returned to his country?" Long Lao asked, slowly watering the flowers in front of him with a watering can.

Behind him, a middle-aged man spoke respectfully: "That is indeed the case. It is a pity that Thunder God himself is an expert, and that Villa is shrouded in a powerful array; we have no way of knowing what they actually discussed."

"This matter is not something you can pry into. If you had truly entered that Villa, you would not have been able to come back out!" Long Lao said slowly.

"As for Thunder God's side, he currently only has Huoshen accompanying him. Should we..." the man asked.

"Do not act rashly. Thunder God has never been a reckless person. If he dares to come to Huaxia so brazenly with only Huoshen, he must have his own reliance," Long Lao said, waving his hand. "The most important thing now is to figure out one thing: why Thunder God suddenly came to Huaxia to find Lingyun."

"This subordinate has already sent people to investigate this point; I expect there will be results before long," the man said.

"Tell the people below to keep a close watch on the movements of Lingyun and his group, but do not make it too obvious," Long Lao said.

"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave." The man nodded, then quietly left the area.

"For such a person to appear in Huaxia, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse!" Long Lao sighed and said.

In Lingyun's Villa, Su Wanyue stood before Lingyun, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"What is it, Wanyue?" Lingyun looked at Su Wanyue in front of him and asked with some confusion.

"Lingyun, I want you to come with me to meet someone!" Su Wanyue hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Meet someone? Who?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly; someone who could make Su Wanyue show such an expression would definitely not be an ordinary person.

"That... that person is my fiancé," Su Wanyue said.

"Fiancé? Since when do you have a fiancé?" Lingyun asked with a look of confusion.

"I only just found out about this matter myself," Su Wanyue said, feeling extremely depressed. "This matter has to start with my grandfather."

As it turned out, the Su Family's old patriarch once had an old comrade-in-arms surnamed Yang; the two had retired from that battlefield together. The Su Family's old patriarch had blocked a blade for the Yang Family's old patriarch, and the Yang Family's old patriarch had once blocked a bullet for the Su Family's old patriarch; the two shared a life-and-death friendship. After the war ended, the two settled down in Beijing, and the two families kept in touch, sharing a very close bond.

Once, when the two old patriarchs were drinking tea together, it just so happened that both of their daughters-in-law were pregnant at the same time, so the two made a pact during that tea party. If both families' children were boys, they would let them become brothers in the future; if both were girls, they would let them become sisters; if the two families' children were one boy and one girl, then the two families would become in-laws.

Later, the Yang Family was framed by a villain and faced a catastrophic disaster. Fortunately, the Su old patriarch had some influence among the higher-ups at the time and spent considerable effort to protect the Yang Family. However, the Yang Family was also severely damaged in their Origin Qi and had to withdraw from Beijing to develop in other cities.

Over a dozen years passed, and the former Yang Family, under the leadership of the Yang Family's old patriarch, became strong once again, becoming a regional hegemon, not falling behind the current Su Family.

Some time ago, when the two old patriarchs were talking on the phone, they brought up that marriage contract from back then again. The two believed that since this was something they had agreed upon back then, they naturally could not break the promise, and now that both were adults, perhaps they could let them try being together. The two old patriarchs both exerted their influence to have the current eldest son of the Yang Family, Su Wanyue's nominal fiancé, transfer to Huaxia University to study.

Today was the day that Su Wanyue's nominal fiancé was arriving in Beijing, so it was no wonder Su Wanyue was so uneasy.

"Since it is your fiancé, would it be inappropriate for me to go?" Lingyun asked with some hesitation.

"I don't care, you have to accompany me!" Su Wanyue pouted and said, acting somewhat spoiled.

"This... alright, I will go with you," Lingyun sighed lightly and said.

"Hee hee, I knew you were the best to me, Lingyun! Let's set off immediately!" Su Wanyue took Lingyun's arm and walked toward the outside.

A red women's sedan was parked outside the door. Su Wanyue took Lingyun into the car, then started the engine and drove toward the direction of the Beijing airport.

At the Beijing airport, a huge airplane landed steadily on the tarmac. A handsome man carrying a schoolbag walked slowly down the stairs, dragging a large suitcase in his hand. Among the women traveling, quite a few were secretly looking at him, with little red hearts appearing in their eyes from time to time.

The man got off the plane and looked ahead; in his hand, he held a photograph, which was none other than a photo of Su Wanyue.

With just a glance at the crowd, the man found Su Wanyue's location. After all, Su Wanyue was a top-tier beauty; even in the vast sea of people, she still appeared extremely conspicuous.

"Are you Wanyue, my younger sister?" Pulling his suitcase, the man walked quickly to Su Wanyue.

Su Wanyue looked the man up and down, a flash of surprise appearing in her eyes: "Are you... Brother Yang Yang?"

"That's right, it's me. I never thought that after not seeing you for over a dozen years, the little girl from back then would have grown into such a great beauty!" Yang Yang said with a smile.

Because Yang Yang was born one week earlier than Su Wanyue, Su Wanyue had always called Yang Yang "brother."

"I wonder, who is this?" After greeting Su Wanyue, Yang Yang's gaze fell upon Lingyun.

"He is my friend, Lingyun," Su Wanyue introduced. "Lingyun, this is the Brother Yang Yang I mentioned to you."

"Brother... huh..." Yang Yang muttered in his heart, then smiled and nodded at Lingyun: "Hello."

Yang Yang secretly sized Lingyun up and nodded to himself in his heart. Upon seeing Lingyun by her side, he already knew Su Wanyue's intentions; it seemed she was very unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract set by the elders back then.

As the Young Clan Master of the Yang Family, he naturally had his own way of judging people. Just from the first impression, he felt Lingyun's extraordinariness. Although the person before him looked no different from an ordinary person, someone who could be favored by his extraordinary younger sister would definitely not be an ordinary person; he still had confidence in Su Wanyue's judgment.

While Yang Yang was sizing up Lingyun, Lingyun was also quietly sizing up Yang Yang. Although the person before him was the Young Clan Master of the Yang Family, he did not have that arrogant, overbearing manner typical of some great families. Such a person could simply be described as a modest gentleman, gentle as jade. At the same time, Lingyun also saw a spirit of forging ahead and self-improvement in his eyes. Most importantly, this was not a pretense, but a manifestation of a person's true character.

"If the descendants of the Yang Family are all like this, it is no wonder the Yang Family has flourished, growing from a small family at the beginning to the regional giant it is today," Lingyun thought to himself.

Su Wanyue was chatting happily with Yang Yang on the side, and Lingyun did not interrupt them. After all, the two of them could be considered childhood sweethearts when they were young; meeting again after more than a decade, they must have had many things they wanted to share.
