Chapter 4: Su Cheng Eats Humble Pie

When she was furious and about to erupt, a young man walked up to her side.

The newcomer wore a suit and polished shoes, had his hair slicked back in a pompadour, and stood beside Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu, who is this?"

Yuan Shu said unhappily, "That's my nominal fiancé."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He himself was Yuan Shu's pursuer, and facing the sudden appearance of her fiancé, he felt full of hostility.

He reached out, a smile appearing on his face.

"My name is Su Cheng; I work in the hotel industry, with assets of roughly over a hundred million."

Looking at Su Cheng's smile, Lin Yang said lightly.

"Lin Yang."

Su Cheng blinked slightly, as if recalling something, and gave a teasing smile.

"Are you the Lin family's young master from six years ago?"

"Is there a problem?"

Upon receiving Lin Yang's answer, Su Cheng burst out laughing.

"Of course there's no problem, but I still advise you: you are no longer the Lin family's young master from six years ago."

"You'd better stop pestering Yuan Shu; you two are not from the same world!"

Lin Yang furrowed his brows and said, "I'll say it once: I'm not harassing her; I just happened to run into her."

"By chance?"

Su Cheng wore a look of contempt, as if saying, "Who would believe that's just a coincidence?"

"You say it's a coincidence—then tell me, what are you here for?"

"To see Sun Jiacheng."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Cheng's face darkened and he shouted.

"How dare you—how can you directly call the name of Divine Doctor Sun!"

Yuan Shu also furrowed her brows and said to Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, even if you were the Lin family's young master six years ago, you never dared to directly utter Divine Doctor Sun's name."

"Six years have passed, and you've made no progress; I will personally tell my grandfather about calling off the engagement."

At that moment, a store employee took out a ginseng root and handed it to Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu, your ginseng package is ready."

Having taken the ginseng, Yuan Shu glanced at Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, do as you see fit!"

Having said that, she walked away with a haughty expression.

Su Cheng curled the corner of his mouth into a cold smile and spoke to the employee.

"This person directly uttered Divine Doctor Sun's name, showing extreme disrespect; such a person ought to be driven out!"

As a pharmacy employee, he felt a bit emboldened by borrowing the tiger's might.

Hearing Su Cheng say that, he immediately asked in a low voice.

"You directly addressed the teacher by name?"

Lin Yang frowned and said, "Have Sun Jiacheng come out to see me."

Su Cheng laughed inwardly; this guy was causing a scene here, practically asking for trouble.

"Idiot."

Just as he thought Lin Yang was about to be expelled from the pharmacy, a voice filled with surprise rang out.

"Mr. Lin?!"

Several people turned their heads to look.

Lu Linglong, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a floral dress, stood gracefully before Lin Yang, her face lit with surprise.

Upon seeing Lu Linglong, Su Cheng immediately stepped forward.

"Miss Lu, I'm Su Cheng from Tiancheng Hotel."

Seeing Su Cheng standing beside Lin Yang, Lu Linglong assumed they were friends.

She smiled and replied, "Mr. Su, hello."

Lu Linglong's response left Su Cheng feeling flattered; he suddenly felt that Lu Linglong favored him.

Just as he was about to step forward to show himself, he saw Lu Linglong proactively walk to Lin Yang's side.

"You're here to see Grandfather Sun, right? Let's go in together."

As they entered, Lu Linglong deliberately lagged a step behind, letting Lin Yang go in first.

Su Cheng, standing aside, saw this and furrowed his brows.

After entering, he let out a cold snort.

"He really doesn't understand any etiquette."

Lu Linglong's brows knit slightly as she looked at Su Cheng, feeling that he was full of hostility toward Lin Yang.

"Mr. Su, are you and Mr. Lin friends?"

Su Cheng thought Lu Linglong was angry at Lin Yang, so he immediately denied it.

"I don't know him, of course I don't!"

"I especially can't stand this brat's arrogance..."

As he loudly belittled Lin Yang, Lu Linglong's face darkened.

Get out immediately!

Su Cheng was delighted and shouted at Lin Yang.

Didn't you hear? Miss Lu told you to get out!

Lin Yang stopped, turned, and looked at Lu Linglong.

Then I'll go?

Lu Linglong was frightened and quickly shook her head.

Mr. Lin, you've misunderstood!

She put on a stern face, looked at Su Cheng, and raised her hand to slap him.

Come, throw him out for me!

Su Cheng, dazed from the slap and not yet reacting, was grabbed by Lu Linglong's bodyguards and thrown out.

The nearby shop assistant watched, feeling somewhat startled.

That guy called Lin Yang seems to have an unusual relationship with Miss Lu.

However, standing behind me is Divine Doctor Sun; even if I've offended him before, he wouldn't make things difficult for me, right?

As he thought that, Sun Jiacheng rose from the consultation table, his face full of excitement.

Mr. Lin, you've finally come!

Sun Jiacheng, face full of excitement, walked up to Lin Yang.

Hehe, Divine Doctor Sun puts on airs; if it weren't for meeting Miss Lu, I hardly could have gotten in.

Upon hearing that, the nearby shop assistant broke out in a sweat, head lowered, not daring to speak.

Upon hearing those words, Sun Jiacheng looked at the shop assistant beside him, and his face darkened.

Little Wang, what did you do to Mr. Lin? Apologize to him!

Upon hearing that, Wang Qiang shuddered, immediately bowing and scraping in apology.

Mr. Lin, it's my failure to recognize Mount Tai; please forgive me!

For such a small fry, Lin Yang couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Divine Doctor Sun...

Those words left Sun Jiacheng looking terrified; he hurriedly shook his head.

In your presence, I dare not call you Divine Doctor!

Just call me Xiao Sun!

Wang Qiang, who had been somewhat displeased, saw Sun Jiacheng so humble, and his inner feelings churned.

He looked at Lin Yang, thinking, just who is this person!

Mr. Lin, it's crowded here; let's go upstairs to talk.

Upstairs, everything was wooden furniture.

On the tea table, there was also an incense burner.

After the three sat down, Lin Yang spoke first.

Old Sun, I want a few roots of ginseng and polygonatum each over a hundred years old; do you have any?

Over a hundred years?

Sun Jiacheng furrowed his brows; ginseng and polygonatum over a hundred years old are not easy to find.

At that moment, Lu Linglong suddenly spoke.

My grandfather once collected a three-hundred-year-old ginseng root, and apparently also has a hundred-year-old polygonatum; why don't you come with me to take a look?

Lu Linglong looked at Lin Yang with an excited expression.

She came this time originally to have Divine Doctor Sun re-examine her grandfather; she didn't expect to meet Lin Yang.

If I could bring Lin Yang back, that would be great!

Lin Yang thought it over and nodded in agreement.

If Miss Lu doesn't mind, could you take me along?

Sure.

Once the three agreed, they immediately got up and headed downstairs.

Outside Jin Ying Ge at that moment, Su Cheng sat in his Porsche, speaking ill of Lin Yang to Yuan Shu in the passenger seat.

That Lin Yang, upon seeing Miss Lu, just fawns and flatters, and keeps saying bad things about me.

Such a person has no breadth of mind at all.

Upon hearing that, Yuan Shu frowned and said.

He's sucking up to the Lu family's miss? Will Miss Lu even pay him any attention?

After a moment of embarrassment, Su Cheng said: 'Of course not; I estimate he'll be kicked out before long!'

Hardly had he finished speaking when he saw Lin Yang walk out.

He wore a smug look, just about to speak and mock, when he saw Lu Linglong and Sun Jiacheng walk out together.

Moreover, Lu Linglong walked to the car door and, with a respectful expression, opened the door for Lin Yang.

Seeing this, Su Cheng felt as unpleasant as if he had eaten a fly.

What are you looking at?

As Yuan Shu was about to look, Su Cheng immediately shook his head and stepped on the accelerator, driving off.
