Chapter 111: Chapter 111: You Want to Lie in the Bed I’ve Slept In?

"Stop right there!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to turn around and leave with Yang Linglong,

Mr. Yang hurriedly called out to stop them.

"Mr. Yang, is there something else?"

Lin Fan stopped, a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin, wasn’t I clear enough just now? Today, we’re discussing the marriage between Linglong and Liu Mo."

Mr. Yang’s face was stern.

How could this guy not understand?

"I know, so that’s why I won’t bother you. You go about your business, and we’ll play ours; neither need interfere with the other."

Lin Fan nodded.

"Nonsense, can’t you understand? We’re planning to form a kinship with the Liu family, so it’s impossible for you and Linglong to get our family’s support, and don’t even think about becoming the Yang family’s son-in-law."

Yang Tianqi, sitting to the side, could no longer hold back.

"When did I ever say I wanted to be your Yang family’s son-in-law? Isn’t your future son-in-law sitting right there?"

Lin Fan looked towards Liu Mo, who was sitting aside.

"Since you know I’m the Yang family’s future son-in-law, why don’t you take your stinking hands off her!"

Liu Mo said, his face darkening.

Their hands were tightly interlocked at this moment, something he could not tolerate.

"You do your part as the son-in-law, I’ll do mine in love. We’ll draw water from our own wells and not intrude upon each other’s rivers. Besides, Linglong is of age, and since she doesn’t oppose my touching her, it’s not against the law. Moreover, you two aren’t even married yet. Besides, who says once you’re married that I can’t touch her? Which law dictates that sleeping with another man’s wife is punishable by imprisonment?"

Lin Fan spoke and let go of the hand.

But then he wrapped his arm around Yang Linglong’s slender waist.

"Nonsense!"

After listening to Lin Fan’s words, Mr. Yang’s face turned ashen as he slapped the table.

"Who’s talking nonsense? In this day and age, who still speaks of arranged marriages? Since you want to break up a pair of lovebirds, don’t blame others if the bride has an affair. As long as it’s consensual, at most it’s a matter of ethics. Think you can bully me? When I was messing around, you were nothing but slag. You want to lie in the bed I have slept in?"

Lin Fan said with a cold smile, arms crossed over his chest.

"That’s right. I won’t defy your so-called marriage arrangement, but if there really is a marriage, I don’t mind letting the Zhao family be thoroughly embarrassed."

Yang Linglong smiled as she clung to Lin Fan’s arm.

At the same time, she defiantly looked towards the Liu father and son, their faces ashen.

This forthright confrontation immediately stiffened the atmosphere.

"Forget it, forget it. Let’s talk about this another time!"

And surprisingly, it was Liu Ruiyun who proactively broke the deadlock.

"Mr. Liu, this matter can’t be left unsettled. It’s precisely because I’ve spoiled her too much that she’s become so unruly. Let’s set this marriage in stone; I’d like to see if she dares to commit any actions that disgrace us!"

Yang Tianfang glared at Yang Linglong with a dark face.

"Then let’s take a gamble. After all, it’s the Liu family’s face that will be tarnished. If you dare to bet, I’ll accompany you. We’ll see then who can’t step down gracefully."

Lin Fan, still smiling, stood in front of Yang Linglong.

Their words once again thickened the silence in the air.

"Alright, Brother Tianfang, let’s discuss this matter further another time. The marriage can wait; since I’m here today, let’s just enjoy the meal and drink."

Liu Ruiyun had his own concerns.

Left with no choice, he had to interrupt this endless conversation.

"Mr. Liu, I’m sorry you had to see this. Of course, I’ll cover the meal; consider it an apology for my daughter’s ignorance yesterday."

Yang Tianfang hastily stood and said.

"What’s there to apologize for? He chose the place and he spoke the words. It was clear he intentionally set a trap, yet ended up hitting his own foot with the rock he lifted. It’s just a case of reaping what you sow!"

Yang Linglong retorted loudly, her face expressionless.

"Linglong, don’t be presumptuous!"

Yang Tianqi hurriedly shouted from the side.

"Uncle, if anyone’s being presumptuous, it’s you. Didn’t you say last time that if Lin Fan could get Grandpa into the high-ranking officials’ sanatorium, you would take his name? Yet I haven’t seen you change your name."

Yang Linglong brought up the past incident.

Instantly, Yang Tianqi’s face turned a purplish hue.

Thinking back to the embarrassing event, he truly didn’t know how to explain himself.

"Linglong, don’t go too far. Do you really think I can’t handle you?"

Mr. Yang slammed the table and bellowed in reproach.

Today, this girl had the audacity to not even spare him, her grandfather.

"Of course, Grandpa wouldn’t be the type to only talk big. Now that my savior has come, you wouldn’t deny him a meal, would you? If this gets out, I’m afraid your old comrades-in-arms would laugh their teeth off."

Yang Linglong’s tone softened a bit.

But her words still carried barbs.

"Hey, don’t go off-script. What’s this about a meal now?!"

Lin Fan whispered lower.

With the atmosphere as it was, continuing this meal could lead to more trouble.

"I don’t care, you have to eat this meal today, and if it comes down to it, just accompany me to change clothes."

Yang Linglong pouted and pulled Lin Fan toward the back.

The argument left the three men of the Yang family at a loss.

"Mr. Liu, I’m sorry for the spectacle today. She’s my only daughter and indeed spoiled, but rest assured, I will find a way to talk to her about this marriage alliance. Linglong is just being misled at the moment."

Yang Tianfang looked at Liu Ruiyun with an apologetic smile.

"Mr. Yang, what are you talking about? Didn’t we both also go through our wild youth? Young people don’t understand much, and can’t see far, which is why we elders need to steer them right. Don’t trouble yourself about the rest, I will take care of it."

Liu Ruiyun looked at the text message that had just come through on his phone.

A smile crept onto his face.

The men were in place.

Today, there was no chance for Lin Fan to escape.

"Well... That’s good to hear... Ah, let’s go to the dining hall and have some tea first."

Yang Tianfang stood up, leading Mr. Liu and his son out of the hall.

Meanwhile, Yang Tianqi was called over by Mr. Yang.

"Tianqi, tell me the truth, what’s the real story with Liu Ruiyun?"

"Dad, as far as I know, the Liu family is a distant relation of the Liu Family from the provincial city; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to hold the position of president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. If we can establish a connection with him, our future will surely soar. So you’ve got to rein Linglong in, we can’t let that bastard deceive her."

Yang Tianqi spoke anxiously.

"That Liu Family with the martial cultivators..."

Mentioning the Liu Family, Mr. Yang also frowned.

These real giants from the provincial city had considerable strength behind the scenes.

"Yes, I went to great lengths to find out these details. Don’t be fooled by Liu Ruiyun’s benign appearance; he must have quite a few tricks up his sleeve. He already stated that he would deal with that young man personally, so it’s likely he’s arranged for someone to take action already."

Yang Tianqi had caught the subtext.

Liu Ruiyun had no intention of discussing marriage—

he was simply not talking about it for now.

"What a pity for that young man’s talents. Later at dinner, let’s try to make him see the difficulty and back off. After all, he’s the one who saved my life. If he meets his end at the hands of the Liu family, I fear my conscience won’t be clear."

Mr. Yang sighed.

The power play among these wealthy families was not as simple as it seemed to the eye.
