Chapter 135 135 Chapter: Tang Yun's Invitation
By the time Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue left the hotel, it was already 10:30 at night, and almost all of the guests from the celebration banquet had left.
It was almost November by then, and the weather was starting to turn cold. As soon as they walked out of the hotel, a cold breeze hit them, and Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Su Chen quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her. Lin Ruoxue paused for a moment, then said:
"Let's go."
Although Lin Ruoxue didn't say any words of thanks, a warm current flowed through her heart.
"Humiliating Liu Qing like you did today, the Liu Family won't let it go easily."
After the car had been driving for a while, Lin Ruoxue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke up.
In fact, this matter had been weighing on her mind; she was both worried about what trouble it might bring to the Belle Corporation and more worried that something might happen to Su Chen.
After all, that was the Liu Family; if they wanted revenge, Su Chen would probably find it difficult to withstand, right?
"Are you worried about me?"
Su Chen turned and glanced at Lin Ruoxue, noticing her face full of worry, so he playfully teased her.
"Who's worried about you! It would be good if you, that bad guy, died!"
A faint blush tinted Lin Ruoxue's exquisitely beautiful face as she spat out those words.
Her demeanor was entirely that of a little woman, much cuter than her usual cold appearance.
This would have never happened to the Lin Ruoxue of the past.
"Don't worry, wife, with me here, nothing will happen."
Su Chen reached out a hand and held Lin Ruoxue's tender hand, smiling as he comforted her.
Lin Ruoxue's worry eased somewhat as her hand was held by Su Chen's larger one, and after a little while, she suddenly asked:
"Su Chen, how come your skills are so formidable?"
Lin Ruoxue had never imagined that her flippant husband could possess such powerful strength.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Didn't I tell you I used to be a soldier? Isn't it normal to have some hand-to-hand combat skills?"
"Really?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at him skeptically, not believing Su Chen's claims of just having a little combat skill.
Even on her knees she knew that Liu Qing's bodyguards couldn't just be run-of-the-mill men, yet they were no match for him, which was enough to show his strength was far from ordinary!
However, seeing that Su Chen was not willing to elaborate, she did not press any further.
The rest of the ride was quiet, and soon they arrived home; after bidding each other goodnight, they went off to rest.
Of course, Su Chen did not actually rest upon entering his room, but began his cultivation...
.....
"Doctor Qiao, how is my son?"
Late at night, in a VIP room of Jianghai Hospital, Liu Yongyuan nervously asked the attending physician, grasping his arm.
"Ah, Family Head Liu, your son's condition is still quite serious. There are multiple fractures in his body, and he definitely won't be able to get out of bed for several months."
Doctor Qiao sighed and could only tell the truth.
"Okay, thank you."
Liu Yongyuan shook the doctor's hand to express his gratitude.
"No trouble at all, that's my job. I'll be going now, keep your son company. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"Okay."
Shortly after the doctor left, Liu Qing also woke up. When he saw his father standing beside him, his eyes immediately flared with the fire of hatred:
"Dad, I want revenge!"
His fist was clenched tight, and his face twisted with ferocity, like an enraged beast!
"I know everything that's happened; you just focus on getting better. Leave the revenge to me, you can rest assured I'll make him pay the price!"
When Liu Yongyuan first heard that his son had been beaten, he was incredibly agitated and furious.
He never expected that in Jiangnan, someone would dare to touch a member of the Liu Family, and his son at that!
If the Liu Family didn't retaliate for this, how would they have any face left to stand on in Jiangnan?
"No, Father, this time I want to take matters into my own hands!" Liu Qing said through clenched teeth, his face ashen with rage, "I want to make his life unbearable, to the point where he begs for mercy kneeling in front of me!"
"Good! Truly a son of Liu Yongyuan! You'll rise where you've fallen. Don't worry; this time, the resources of the Liu Family are at your disposal, but you must ensure that this kid never gets the chance to turn things around ever again!"
"Thank you, Father! He won't be so lucky this time!"
When Liu Qing heard that he could use the family's resources as he pleased, his eyes gleamed with fierce light!
......
Su Chen, of course, had no way of knowing what was happening between the father and son of the Liu Family.
After a night of cultivation, Su Chen felt clear-headed and refreshed.
Today happened to be the weekend, and since Su Chen didn't have to work, he went out for a stroll after breakfast.
However, as the CEO, Lin Ruoxue still had some urgent documents to deal with, so she went to the company.
Su Chen's stroll through the streets was aimless, with no particular destination in mind; by noon, he simply had a bowl of wontons outside.
After lunch, Su Chen lost interest in continuing to wander around and drove back to the villa.
Wang Ma was also not at home, having gone out for some reason, so Su Chen returned to his room and resumed his cultivation.
When it came to cultivation, Su Chen was always very diligent. He knew that success doesn't just fall from the sky without reason and that it all depends on one's own efforts!
But he had only been cultivating for a while when the phone rang. Picking it up, Su Chen saw an unfamiliar number and casually hung up.
However, within two minutes, the phone rang again, and Su Chen answered it somewhat irritably.
"Hello, what kind of nutcase are you?"
Su Chen was already annoyed as he picked up the phone, thinking it was some telemarketer calling.
"Jerk! You're the nutcase!"
A crisp female voice came from the other end of the line.
"Who are you?"
Su Chen found the voice somewhat familiar.
"My parents are inviting you to have dinner at our house tonight; if you're not available, then never mind."
An exasperated voice came through the phone again.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately remembered who it was; it was that girl Tang Yun.
From her tone, it seemed she was hoping he would say he was too busy. Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on his lips, as he cheekily said:
"With such a gracious invitation from Teacher Tang, I'll make time even if I'm busy."
He was also a bit puzzled; wasn't he invited last weekend? Why did the call come this weekend?
When Tang Yun on the other end heard this, she felt even more aggravated and said angrily:
"Half past six in the evening, Building 2 of the Municipal Committee compound."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and tossed it aside, then threw herself onto the bed.
If possible, Tang Yun really didn't want to make this call, but her parents kept pushing her every other day, and she had no other choice.
Her father, Tang Mingji, had already asked her to invite Su Chen last weekend. She lied, saying she called, but he was too busy to come.
She thought the matter had blown over, but a few days ago, her parents pressed the issue again, telling her to call and ask.
Tang Yun knew she couldn't keep putting it off; she couldn't say he was busy every time, so she made the call reluctantly.
Thinking of seeing that bad guy in the evening, Tang Yun couldn't help but recall the image of him taking liberties with her at the school gate that evening...
