Chapter 20: Liu Cheng Who Knows How to Be a Person

At this moment, hearing Lin Yang say the words forgiving himself, Liu Cheng felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for sparing my life."

"My father said that last time we offended you greatly and even frightened your fiancée; if you don't mind, I will set up another banquet to make amends."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu sensed something was off, and she said.

"Wasn't the previous matter resolved by Su Cheng's father?"

Upon hearing that, Liu Cheng looked at Su Cheng, who lay on the ground looking frightened, and spat directly.

"Is he worthy? Even his father isn't worthy to hold my father's shoes."

Yuan Shu immediately understood what was going on; she glared viciously at Su Cheng, then glanced at Lin Yang.

Her eyes held guilt and anger, and she felt her self-esteem had been wounded.

In his view, Lin Yang shouldn't have such an identity.

"He's now just a stray dog; what gives him the right to act so high and mighty?"

With mixed emotions, Yuan Shu gritted her teeth and walked toward the door.

Watching Yuan Shu's departing figure, Lin Yang suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment."

Yuan Shu, who had reached the door, stopped her steps, carrying a hint of mockery.

"What, Young Master Lin, are you trying to show off?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "It's not showing off; I just want to tell you that I've earned one million."

Saying that, he took out a card.

"I've said before, whether it's money or power, in my eyes it's nothing special."

Yuan Shu felt both ashamed and angry; her previous words felt like slaps striking her face.

Her tears kept falling as she ran outside.

Watching Yuan Shu's retreating back, Lu Linglong furrowed her brows.

She wanted to go up and tell Yuan Shu that it wasn't that Lin Yang wasn't good enough for her, but that she wasn't good enough for Lin Yang.

But after thinking, she decided against it; that woman wasn't worth it.

Liu Cheng saw Yuan Shu leave and felt a bit puzzled in his heart.

"Didn't my father say she was his fiancée? Why did she run off then?"

Although he had doubts, he hadn't forgotten his father's instructions.

He immediately walked up to Lin Yang, gave a hehe laugh, and said.

"Lord Lin, sorry to disturb your meal; I'll have someone arrange another table right away—you and your friend must honor us with your presence."

Saying that, he looked toward Lu Linglong.

Lin Yang said to Lu Linglong, "Do you have something to attend to?"

"No, having a meal together won't take long."

Upon hearing that, Liu Cheng immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He immediately told the attendant nearby, "Quickly go arrange a private room!"

Seeing Lin Yang walk out of the private room, he also hurried to follow.

However, his steps always lagged three steps behind Lin Yang's.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask how I should address the person beside you?"

He was somewhat curious about Lu Linglong's identity.

"My name is Lu Linglong."

After Liu Cheng silently repeated it once, as if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly changed and his voice involuntarily rose a few notches.

"The Lu family's eldest daughter, Lu Linglong?!"

Seeing Liu Cheng's flustered appearance, Lin Yang laughed and said.

"Is it really that surprising?"

Liu Cheng revealed an embarrassed smile and said.

"I've never seen the world, I've never seen the world."

Seeing him like that, Lin Yang laughed and said to Lu Linglong.

"Linglong, it seems your reputation in the southwest is not small either."

Lu Linglong laughed: "Please don't tease me; this is all because of the Lu family's connections."

Seeing the two's relationship not shallow, Liu Cheng felt a bit doubtful in his heart.

It looks like Lin Yang is not merely a guest seated at Lu Jinfei's table.

Going by this posture, who knows—one day Lin Yang might become a son-in-law of the Lu family!

While he was mulling it over inwardly, the attendant stepped forward and said the arrangements were ready.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Lu, please follow me."

As they walked, the wailing Su Cheng walked out of the private room.

As soon as he stepped out of the private room, he saw several people's gazes directed at him.

He stood there, neither able to advance nor retreat.

Liu Cheng asked, "Mr. Lin, how should we deal with him?"

"We're not acquainted with him."

Those words made Liu Cheng let out a cold smile, and he said to the attendant.

"You take the two honored guests ahead; I'll come after I finish handling this."

After several people left, Liu Cheng wore a sinister smile and shoved Su Cheng back into the private room.

"Kid, you're pretty impressive; you almost got me to offend a big shot today!"

Not long after, shrill screams and the sound of breaking objects came from inside the private room.

A few minutes later, Liu Cheng walked out.

"Someone, take that trash inside to the hospital; don't let anyone die, it would look bad."

"Yes!"

After tidying his attire, he came to the private room where Lin Yang and the other were.

"Mr. Lin, I went to handle matters; it's my fault, I'll punish myself with three drinks."

At the dinner table, Liu Cheng lavished all kinds of flattery on Lin Yang and the other.

When the two left, Liu Cheng personally saw them off and also handed over a card.

"From now on, when you dine at Hanle Pavilion, all expenses will be waived; you must accept this."

Only after Lin Yang left did Liu Cheng finally relax.

His eyes shifted, and he called his father.

When Lin Yang returned home, Zhao Feiyan and Lin Ying'er were both sitting on the sofa.

At that moment, Zhao Feiyan looked at Lin Yang, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Seeing this, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Sister Feiyan, just ask whatever you want to know."

Zhao Feiyan sighed and asked, "Lin Yang, what exactly is going on between you and that Lu family miss? Why do you seem so familiar?"

Lin Yang smiled and knew he was going to ask that.

"The day I came back, I went to the hospital to find you, and happened to encounter her grandfather having an emergency; I know some first-aid measures, bought him rescue time, so she is very grateful to me."

Zhao Feiyan thought it over, feeling something was off but couldn't put her finger on it.

However, only this could explain everything.

"Lin Yang, you must not rely on your favors to act arrogantly; the Lu family, these big clans, have deep waters—you must absolutely not get involved."

Lin Yang smiled helplessly, thinking his connection with the Lu family was already deep.

But to avoid worrying Zhao Feiyan, he still said.

"Alright, I have it in mind."

"Mm, as long as you have it in mind, that's fine."

"By the way, I'm off tomorrow; I want to take Ying'er out to play—do you want to come?"

As he was about to agree, the phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and heard Lu Jinfei's voice.

"Master, I've found several of the materials you were looking for; they'll arrive tomorrow—do you have time to come take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang was overjoyed.

"Good, I'll come find you tomorrow!"

After hanging up, Zhao Feiyan looked at Lin Yang, whose face was full of excitement, and asked.

"What's the matter, you're so excited."

To avoid worrying Zhao Feiyan, he told a little lie.

"Divine Doctor Sun notified me, saying the medicine that can cure Ying'er's illness has arrived, and asked me to go there tomorrow."

"Really?!"

Zhao Feiyan also looked excited.

She excitedly expressed that she also wanted to go tomorrow.

Not wanting to dampen Zhao Feiyan's enthusiasm, Lin Yang could only agree.

Lin Yang walked over to Ying'er, looked at her pure smile on her face, and ruffled her hair.

"Ying'er, once you're cured, I'll finally be qualified to see my parents."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyan felt a pang of sourness in her eyes.

Since Lin Yang returned until now, he has not gone to pay respects to his parents.

It's because he feels he has no face to meet them.
