Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 998 - 998 958 Questioned

998: Chapter 958 Questioned 998: Chapter 958 Questioned Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng followed the caretaker to the place where the family banquet was being held.

Within a spacious mansion, a huge round table was set up.

Seated at the table were the core members of the Su family.

Su Jingqian sat at the head position, next to him was his wife, followed by his siblings, then came Su Changyue and Su Meeng, and finally, some collateral relatives.

Once Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng arrived, they could only sit at the outermost seats, right by the doorway.

Seeing such seating arrangements, Su Jingqian hastily stopped them.

“Lu Chuan, you are our family’s savior.

Please, come sit beside me,” he beckoned Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan, however, gestured with his hands and said with a smile, “No need, I’m fine sitting here.”

“It doesn’t matter where one sits; what’s most important is to enjoy the meal,” Dongfang Cheng said cheerfully.

Su Jingqian nodded slightly and smiled politely.

Then, Su Jingqian looked towards Dongfang Cheng and inquired, “Your face looks familiar; have I seen you somewhere before?”

Dongfang Cheng slightly shrugged his shoulders, “Possibly, I have a small reputation in the Kunlun Domain.

I’m from the Dongfang family.

My name is Dongfang Cheng.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingqian’s eyes widened with a hint of surprise as he stared at Dongfang Cheng.

“You’re from the Dongfang family?

No wonder you look familiar.

In the Kunlun Domain, the Dongfang family is a huge clan, powerful and admired by countless aristocratic families.”

“Our Su family is also one of the admirers,” he said with a sighing smile.

Dongfang Cheng gave an awkward smile, “You flatter me too much.”

“Come, let’s have the meal.

Today we’ve prepared the most sumptuous dishes.

You two must enjoy them, after all, you are heroes of our family.”

He said this in a very kind and friendly manner.

Sitting beside him was a slightly plump man dressed in a green silk garment.

He sported two small mustaches and, while stroking his chin, he stared intently at Lu Chuan’s figure.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Young Master Lu, could you tell us how you found Su Meeng?”

“No problem.

I went to the northern part of Tiannan City to Tiger Head Mountain, found Nangong Qianying’s cave in the dense forest, and then I found him.”

“Is that true?

It seems we have no way to verify this.”

He said with an amused smile.

Lu Chuan frowned, “Are you suggesting that I’m lying?”

After Lu Chuan’s retort, the man smiled and said, “I didn’t say that, but it’s a possibility, after all, none of us have been there.”

Su Jingqian turned to him and said, “Jingkun, what are you saying?

This man is a hero of our family; how can you distrust his words?”

“It’s nothing, I was just asking.

I’m not distrusting him, but his identity is too peculiar.

If he were lying, wouldn’t our family be at a loss?”

Lu Chuan, having put down his chopsticks, stared at the man named Su Jingkun.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

“You!

Lu Chuan!

I’ve investigated you; you are an enemy of the Lu family, the outcast they spurn.

Tell me, what did you do to be cast aside by the Lu family?”

He asked with a prideful smile, looking at Lu Chuan.

“Are you asking me this?”

“What, you don’t dare to answer?

Or did you do something shameful within Lu Manor that led to your expulsion?

The Lu family is a top-tier clan in the Kunlun Domain; they treat their clan members generously, unless one commits something utterly unforgivable.

Therefore, it’s impossible to be expelled without cause.

It’s because of this that I’m suspicious!”

“Our Su family can’t just trust an outsider so easily!”

He spoke with a firm tone.

Lu Chuan saw his demeanor and knew this person harbored ill intentions and seemed to have a significant bias against him.

Although he was uncertain of the reason, it was definitely problematic.

“Could there be a mistake in your investigation?

I was never cast out by the Lu family.

I’ve lived in the secular world since I was young, growing up and cultivating there.

Understand?”

“Then it must be an issue with your ancestors; perhaps you’ve inherited it as well,” he continued to question.

Su Jingqian scolded firmly, “Shut your mouth, what’s the point of asking all this?

All we need to know is that he saved my son.

That’s it!”

“He is a hero to our Su family, and as for the rest, I do not care!”

Su Jingkun immediately became anxious, “Brother, how can you not care?

He is an enemy of the Lu family.

If we give him refuge, are we not asking for trouble?”

“Are we, the Su family, going to contend with the Lu family?

In your dreams, we are no match for them!”

Su Jingqian took a deep breath.

Although he valued Lu Chuan’s kindness, his own brother seemed more concerned about the safety of the Su family.

“Uncle, stop it.

Lu Chuan saved my brother, and no matter what, I will stand by him.

That’s what I should do!”

Su Changyue spoke assertively, firmly supporting Lu Chuan.

“Alright, alright, so you’re not afraid of the Su family inviting trouble?

If one day the Lu family comes to annihilate the Su family, you’ll be happy, right?”

“Moreover, who knows if what he’s saying is true?”

Then, Su Meeng raised his hand, “Uncle, stop arguing.

I can confirm that he saved me.

Everything he said is true.

There’s no need to interrogate Brother Lu Chuan like this; indeed, he saved me.”

“Hmph, maybe he’s deceived you too!” Su Jingkun still refused to believe.

“So what do you propose we do?”

Lu Chuan asked, hands on his hips.

“What do I propose?

Simple.

You cannot stay at our Su Family Mansion.

You can name any reward you want, but you cannot linger at our mansion!”

“Can you agree to that?

If not, then there’s no helping it; our Su Family doesn’t welcome you.”

“Oh, and you, Mr.

Dongfang, you are also an enemy of the Lu family, so it’s best if you leave together.”

At this, Dongfang Cheng stood up, standing beside Lu Chuan, “Let’s not eat this meal; we’ll just leave.”

Su Jingkun quickly gestured, “Don’t rush off; there’s time for a meal.

Leave afterward; it’s not too late.”

“And as for the money, I can give you whatever amount.

I’ll have the caretaker prepare it.

How about that?”

“Don’t worry, you saved Su Meeng; you’ll get your due reward.

After all, isn’t that what you wanted from the start?

Otherwise, who’d bother with a stranger?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, looked at Su Jingqian, “I won’t take a dime.

I do not lack money; this meal is over.”

“Dongfang Cheng and I will leave here and stay somewhere else for a while.

If your Su Residence doesn’t welcome us, so be it.”
