Chapter 136: Chapter 125: [Pushing Things Too Far]

As one of Hanghu’s top elite schools, Zijin Shan Middle School practiced a fully enclosed teaching system, where students were required to live in the school’s dormitories from Monday to Friday.

In the early morning, as the red sun gradually rose, the once quiet dormitory buildings of Zijin Shan Noble Middle School became bustling, filled with chaos of dressing, students washing their faces and brushing their teeth, queuing for the restroom, and clutched textbooks as they hurried towards their classrooms—all sorts of activities were happening.

Before this semester, Su Jindi would always sleep in every morning, to the extent that when other students were washing up, he would be getting dressed, and by the time he was ready and had brushed his teeth, the others had already grabbed their textbooks and were on their way to the classrooms.

But now, he became one of the earliest risers in his dormitory and even the entire dormitory building.

All of this changed because of Ye Fan.

He did not want to let down the opportunity Ye Fan had fought for him.

He wanted to prove to Su Hongyuan and Su Ming through his own efforts that he was not inferior to Su Feiyu, who was sent to prison!

One hand wrapped in bandages and the other holding textbooks, Su Jindi arrived at the classroom to find only a few others present; those who were among the top students in the class and who arrived early every day to preview their lessons.

Perhaps because Su Jindi’s change was so apparent, or perhaps because he was now one of the earliest students to arrive at the classroom each day, the top students were not surprised by his presence. Su Jindi did not disturb anyone and simply took out his textbooks to read quietly.

About half an hour later, students began arriving at the classroom one by one, and the room was no longer as quiet as before. Several of Su Jindi’s henchmen looked at him, their eyes filled with a strange curiosity as they chatted about something.

"Why is Mr. Su so calm?"

"Yeah, Lin Ao Feng is about to get engaged to his sister, how can he keep his mind on reading?"

"You don’t understand; this is ’a flood sweeping away the Dragon King Temple.’ As long as Lin Ao Feng becomes Mr. Su’s brother-in-law, what does the beating matter?"

His sister was getting engaged to Lin Ao Feng?

How could that be possible??

Although the voices of those dandy students were soft, Su Jindi faintly overheard them. He was shocked to his core—having not returned to Su Family’s villa in the past two days, he was completely unaware of this matter.

You guys, come with me!"

After overcoming the initial shock, Su Jindi took a deep breath, calming himself before putting down his textbook and addressing the dandy students.

"Ah..."

Caught up in their heated conversation, the dandies were startled by Su Jindi’s words; they were so scared that they swallowed the rest of their sentence and didn’t say another word, promptly standing up and following Su Jindi out of the classroom.

"Did you just say my sister is going to get engaged to that idiot Lin Ao Feng?" Once out of the classroom, Su Jindi, accompanied by the dandy students, stepped into the hallway and asked, "Who told you that?"

"Mr. Su... Mr. Su, you didn’t know?"

Upon hearing Su Jindi’s question, the dandy students were initially shocked, then they realized why Su Jindi could afford to be indifferent to worldly matters, dedicating himself solely to his studies.

"If I knew, would I be asking you?"

Su Jindi’s face darkened slightly. Although he felt that the possibility of his sister getting engaged to Lin Ao Feng was unlikely, his rational mind told him that these dandy followers would not concoct such a rumor without a reason.

"Mr. Su, my dad told me about it."

One of the dandy students explained, "He said he’s already received the invitation to your sister’s engagement to Lin Ao Feng, happening tonight at eight at the Jianghu Club."

"My dad also received one."

The other dandy students chimed in one after another, affirming that they each learned about the event from calls from their own parents.

And the reason their parents informed them was simple—to encourage them to further strengthen their ties with Su Jindi.

Obviously, their parents could not fathom the conspiracy hidden behind this engagement; they subconsciously believed that Su Yuxin’s marriage to the son of the Huaxia Region head of Qinghong Group, Lin Tianyi, would solidify the Su Family’s position in Jiangnan and take it to the next level!

"I see. You can go back in now."

Watching as the dandy students provided almost identical responses, Su Jindi was stunned for several seconds before finally telling them to return to the classroom.

Seeing that Su Jindi looked displeased, the dandy students dared not linger and turned back towards the classroom, while Su Jindi took out his mobile phone to call Su Yuxin.

"Sister, I just heard that you are getting engaged to Lin Ao Feng?" When the call connected, Su Jindi couldn’t wait to ask.

"Yes."

On the other end of the line, Su Yuxin, who was at Su Family’s No.2 Villa, didn’t hide the truth and confirmed the matter.

"What happened? Why are you getting engaged to Lin Ao Feng?"

As Su Yuxin acknowledged the engagement, Su Jindi felt any slim hope he had vanish in an instant, and his heart filled with confusion and incomprehension. He couldn’t understand, considering both the fact that Lin Ao Feng’s people had hurt him and that Su Yuxin had feelings for Ye Fan, why Su Yuxin would agree to an engagement with Lin Ao Feng.

"Could it be... Grandpa’s idea??"

In the midst of his confusion, Su Jindi suddenly had a thought, and, without waiting for Su Yuxin to respond, he blurted out the question.

"Yes."

Hearing Su Jindi’s inquiry again, Su Yuxin felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She tried to suppress the pain and replied softly, "Grandpa, Second Uncle, and Aunt all want me to marry that scumbag!"

"How... how could they do that?" Su Jindi flared up upon hearing this, "No, I’m going to confront them!"

"Jindi, you don’t need to get involved in this matter," Su Yuxin tried to stop him.

"What do you mean ’I shouldn’t interfere’?"

Swelling with anger, Su Jindi protested, "You aren’t seriously considering agreeing to their proposal, are you? That’s impossible! I know you like Brother Ye, and not only has he treated your illness but also helped our Su Family so much. How can they treat Brother Ye like this? It’s utterly ungrateful!"

"Jin Emperor, how could I possibly agree?" Su Yuxin said, "I told you not to get involved because Brother Ye will handle this matter."

"I see, you gave me quite the scare."

Relieved by her words, Su Jindi then asked with a puzzled face, "Sis, if I’m not mistaken, that bastard Lin Ao Feng is surely planning to use this engagement to take revenge on Brother Ye and our Su Family! Even if he is the so-called Nanqinghong Crown Prince, Grandpa didn’t have to agree, right?"

"With intimidation and bribes." Su Yuxin sighed, "That scum Lin has not only Nanqinghong behind him but also the Bai Family for support!"

"The Bai... Bai Family? Isn’t Nanqinghong an underground organization? How could the Bai Family be their backer??"

Su Jindi was shocked, and though he was just a rich playboy from Hanghu with interests spread wide, he naturally knew what the two words ’Bai Family’ meant in Huaxia.

This time, Su Yuxin offered no explanation, because even she couldn’t fathom why the Bai Family would be involved with an underground organization.

"Sis, so what does Brother Ye plan to do?" Noticing Su Yuxin’s silence, Su Jindi asked again.

"I don’t know the specifics, but since he said he would handle it, there must be a plan." Su Yuxin thought to herself and decided not to tell Su Jindi about Ye Fan being the disciple of Chu Xuanji.

"Sis, I will come home right after school ends at noon tomorrow, and I’ll join you at the engagement venue in the afternoon!"

Although Su Jindi had unwavering faith in Ye Fan, seeing him as an invincible deity, the revelation that the Bai Family were Lin Ao Feng’s supporters made it hard for him to envision how Ye Fan would solve this issue.

"Okay."

Faced with Su Jindi’s request, Su Yuxin thought for a moment before agreeing. On one hand, Su Jindi was her blood brother and it was only right for him to attend the engagement venue, and on the other, knowing Su Jindi’s character, he would have gone even if she had refused.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuxin walked over to the window, drew back the curtains, seemingly trying to see if Ye Fan had returned from his morning exercise.

Huh?

The next moment.

Before Su Yuxin could spot Ye Fan at the villa’s entrance, she saw Su Ming, a rare visitor to Su Family’s No.2 Villa, appear at the doorway.

What is he doing here?

Su Yuxin’s brows furrowed, her expression darkening.

If Su Yuxin had once considered Su Ming family, after this incident, her impression of him had plummeted to rock bottom, naturally unwelcoming his arrival at Su Family’s No.2 Villa.

Shortly after, under Su Yuxin’s watchful gaze, the bodyguard Hu Jun personally welcomed Su Ming into the villa hall.

In light of this, Su Yuxin decided to go downstairs to see what Su Ming was up to.

A minute later, Su Yuxin came downstairs only to find Su Ming seated comfortably on the sofa, legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, looking all too pleased as if he wished that Su Yuxin would go to Lin Ao Feng’s bridal chamber right now.

Indeed, for him, Su Yuxin marrying Lin Ao Feng would not only ensure the safety of the Su Family but also solidify his son’s succession, a proverbial two birds with one stone.

Watching Su Ming’s smug expression, Su Yuxin’s frown deepened. She didn’t greet Su Ming but waited for him to speak first.

"Yuxin, where is Mr. Ye?" Seemingly aware that Su Yuxin held a poor opinion of him, Su Ming did not mind but aimed to get to the point.

Su Yuxin asked coldly, "What do you want with Mr. Ye?"

"Someone gave me an invitation to pass on to him." As he spoke, Su Ming retrieved an invitation from his briefcase.

Huh?

Surprised, Su Yuxin remembered that Ye Fan didn’t have friends in Hanghu, so how could there be an invitation for him?

"Mr. Lin is inviting him to attend your engagement ceremony," said Su Ming as he stood up and held out the invitation to Su Yuxin.

"You... you’ve gone too far!"

Su Yuxin trembled with rage, snatched the invitation, and tore it to shreds.

"It’s not Mr. Lin who’s gone too far, but some people don’t know their place. If he had any sense, he’d get out of the Su Family and leave Hanghu right away. None of this would be happening," Su Ming said dismissively.

"Get out!"

Enraged, Su Yuxin flung the bits of the invitation at Su Ming’s face.

"Yuxin, you can be rude to your uncle, I can overlook your immaturity, but if you behave like this in front of Mr. Lin in the future, it may not go so smoothly," Su Ming said, brushing off the scraps from his hand with a cold smile.

Su Yuxin’s face turned pale with anger, trying to retort, only to see Ye Fan, who had apparently returned from his morning exercise, standing at the entrance of the hall.

At the same time, Su Ming, about to leave, also noticed Ye Fan and tried to explain his presence: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Lin has sent an invitation for you..."

"Tell Lin Ao Feng I will be sure to arrive at West Lake Club on time tomorrow evening!"

Before Su Ming could finish, Ye Fan interrupted in a cold voice. "Also, tell them to remember, there’s no medicine for regret in this world!"
