Chapter 373: She Is Waiting for Mr. Lin

Listening to Liu Chengzhi's words, Lin Yang asked with a half-smile.

"Then I'm being ungrateful—what will happen?"

Saying that, he strode up to him.

In front of the Liu family crowd, he raised his hand and delivered One Slap.

"Pa"

The crisp slap sound rang out, echoing throughout the Liu household.

This slap wasn't just landing on Liu Chengzhi's face—it was also striking the faces of everyone in the Liu family.

Liu Chengzhi covered his face, eyes wide open as he stared at Lin Yang.

"You not convinced?"

"Chengzhi, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin!"

Liu Qing spoke up, shouting a reprimand.

Hearing Liu Qing's reprimand, Liu Chengzhi took a deep breath and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, sorry!"

Lin Yang nodded and said, "Now that's more like it."

"If you're wrong, you must admit it; after being hit, you stand at attention!"

Liu Chengzhi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Tian'ao, watching all this, felt a wave of embarrassment.

He originally thought Lin Yang was a guest of the Liu family.

Now it seems, it's not that simple.

Had I known, I would have come a bit later.

I originally came to mooch a lunch, but I didn't expect to run into this.

He is indeed a friend of the Liu family, but he doesn't dare to act against Lin Yang.

There's nothing to be done—he's no match for Lin Yang.

While he was embarrassed, Lin Yang said to him.

"You came for a reason, so say what you need to say."

Xu Tian'ao gave an embarrassed smile and said.

"Actually, it's not a big deal—just letting them know not to forget this year's Jinling Spring Festival."

"Spring Festival?"

Seeing Lin Yang's puzzled look, Liu Yan explained.

"Actually, it's just a springtime event."

"When the time comes, all the major families will go to the banks of the Qinhuai River to participate in the sacrifice."

"All the major families will go?"

Lin Yang's mouth curled into a smile as he asked Xu Tian'ao.

"Can I go too?"

"Of course, with your status, you can certainly go."

Lin Yang asked, "How long does this Spring Festival last?"

"In a week."

"Good!"

Lin Yang nodded, turned, and was about to leave.

Having walked to the door, he suddenly turned back and said.

"In the whole Liu family, only Liu Yan is my friend."

"I hope that after I leave, you won't make things difficult for her; otherwise, I don't mind coming again."

Liu Qing nodded and said.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, we won't make things difficult for him."

After Lin Yang left, Xu Tian'ao let out a long sigh.

He said to Liu Qing.

"Old Liu, how did you end up provoking such a ruthless person?"

"This is someone even our Chief Hall Master has to yield to three points."

Liu Qing frowned and asked, "How exactly did the Chief Hall Master and him meet?"

"From what you're saying, he values Lin Yang greatly."

Xu Tian'ao gave a bitter laugh and said.

"How could he not value him? I heard that before, he went to the southwest to cause trouble for Lin Yang."

"The result was, facing Lin Yang, he was so scared he didn't dare to raise a hand, and slunk back."

"After returning, he kept lamenting how great it would be to recruit Lin Yang into our Heavenly Martial Hall."

Liu Qing said, quite astonished.

"Is he really that formidable?"

"He really is strong—even the Xuánmén (Mysterious Gate) Association side, upon seeing him, has to bow their heads; you'd better not provoke him!"

Saying that, he turned his gaze toward Liu Yan not far away.

He suddenly broke into a smile and said.

"However, you've raised a fine daughter who could help him and Lin Yang mend their relationship."

I think he's more reliable than those illusory upper-class families of Yanjing.

Hearing Xu Tian Ao's words, Liu Qing couldn't help but frown and began to think.

Should I really let my daughter marry into those upper-class families of Yanjing?

Or should I bet on Lin Yang's future?

This concerns the future of the Liu family; he cannot afford not to consider it carefully.

On Lin Yang's side, not long after leaving the Liu residence, Nangong Xue called.

Nangong Xue, who made the call, sounded somewhat apprehensive.

"Mr. Lin, could you... come to my birthday banquet?"

Hearing the apprehension in Nangong Xue's voice, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Of course."

"We are friends; you are you, and what your relatives do has nothing to do with you."

Nangong Xue felt a lump in her throat upon hearing that.

These days, she has been wanting to find Lin Yang.

But the things her aunt and uncle have done make her ashamed to seek Lin Yang.

Today is her birthday, and only then did she summon the courage to make this call.

"Mr. Lin, you must definitely come to my house tonight."

Lin Yang smiled and said: "What gift do you want?"

"Your coming is the best gift."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yang laughed and shook his head.

This girl, she really isn't pretentious.

However, just because they say they don't want it doesn't mean he won't give it.

He thought for a moment, returned to the villa, and began preparing things.

In the evening, Nangong Xue, dressed in a white evening gown like a princess, kept looking out from the second floor.

She wanted to see when Lin Yang would arrive before deciding when to go downstairs.

Meanwhile, in her boudoir, a few close friends teased.

"Xue'er, are you waiting for your hero to appear?"

"Which young master from which family is this, to have us so enamored?"

A woman wearing a black deep-V outfit chuckled and said.

"Of course we're waiting for Young Master Liang."

"Xue'er and Young Master Liang are truly a match made in heaven."

Wu Shiya also chuckled and said.

"I know who Xue'er is waiting for."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue immediately turned to look at Wu Shiya.

"Shiya! Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing Nangong Xue's reaction, everyone became curious.

"Shiya, hurry up and say who she's waiting for!"

Wu Shiya let out a proud huff and said.

"I'm not going to tell you!"

Upon hearing Wu Shiya's words, everyone snorted.

"How petty, and you claim to be sisters."

"However, I can tell you his surname."

Upon hearing that, everyone immediately perked up their ears and asked.

"What is his surname?!"

"His surname is... Lin!"

"The Lin surname?"

Everyone was completely baffled.

Among the powerful families of Jinling, are there any with the Lin surname?

"Are there any prominent Lin families in Jinling? How come we don't know about them?"

"You two, what exactly have you been doing behind our backs?"

Nangong Xue looked at Wu Shiya and snorted.

"Mr. Lin is someone Wu Shiya introduced us to."

"Wu Shiya actually has some thoughts about him."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shiya's pretty face turned red.

"Nangong Xue, you're talking nonsense; this is slander against me!"

Nangong Xue made a funny face at Wu Shiya.

"If you do the first, I'll do the fifteenth."

"Wow, so you're love rivals; I really want to hear this gossip."

Nangong Xue glanced toward the window.

When he saw that familiar Maybach, he excitedly ran downstairs.

"Mr. Lin has arrived."

Seeing Nangong Xue run downstairs, everyone also followed up.

They all wanted to see what the man who both Nangong Xue and Wu Shiya liked actually looked like!

Liang Xu, who had been searching for Nangong Xue downstairs the whole time.

Upon seeing Nangong Xue come down from upstairs, he immediately went up to meet her.

"Xue'er, I've prepared a special gift for you tonight!"

"Thank you, I understand. Please move aside, I need to pick up Mr. Lin."

After saying that, she let Liang Xu, who had been stunned in place, go.
