Chapter 898: Chapter 899: 2 Beautiful Girls Enter the Su Family

Zhong Chuling’s face turned red as she gazed at Song Xiaodong, waiting for his response.

Song Xiaodong suddenly chuckled and said, "What if I say yes?"

Zhong Chuling felt her mind explode, leaving it blank, while Lin Shu blinked and looked up and down at Song Xiaodong. She said, "Uncle, seriously, are you even thinking straight? We’re the blossoms of our nation, and here you are ruining us like this—can your conscience handle that?"

Song Xiaodong grinned and replied, "No worries, the more delicate the blossom, the sweeter the flavor."

Lin Shu waved her fist and said, "Tch! You big pervert, don’t even think about taking advantage of me—it’s not gonna happen that easily."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "There’s no need to explain things to them. Earlier, they made comments, and I didn’t refute them—just wanted to scare them a bit. Let them understand that offending me means offending someone they can’t afford to antagonize. Then they’d be eager to offer you some benefits, hoping you’d spare them. I’m just giving you a chance to make some money—how is that unsatisfactory?"

Lin Shu touched her chin thoughtfully and said, "Opportunity to make money, huh? That’s great. I could really use some pocket change. This way Xiao Ling wouldn’t need to struggle to earn money for plane tickets just to visit her father."

Song Xiaodong looked surprised at Zhong Chuling and asked, "What? You guys came here and actually had to work to afford the plane tickets?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "What did you think? Although I did tell her to ask you for some, Xiao Ling simply refused."

Song Xiaodong’s gaze softened immediately and said, "Xiao Ling, if you ever face difficulties, just talk to Uncle. Uncle can help you—don’t put yourself through so much stress. Use that time to study more instead."

Zhong Chuling said softly, "I... I’m afraid of troubling Uncle."

Song Xiaodong said, "There’s nothing troubling about it. What Uncle has the least of is money."

"Okay." Zhong Chuling nodded gently at last.

Lin Shu suddenly piped up curiously and asked, "Uncle, earlier you looked so imposing—why are they so afraid of you?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and replied, "Because the Ji Family has something they need from me—so they’re scared of me."

"That can’t be all, right?" Lin Shu blinked.

Song Xiaodong smiled once again and said, "Let me put it this way: if I’m not happy, their Ji Family wouldn’t be able to stay afloat in Minghe anymore. That’s why they want to curry favor with me, even sending their daughters over to my place so they can rest easy."

"Oh my gosh... In their minds, you must be a major lecher! Well, you *are* a major lecher—ugh, taking advantage of me so many times!" While speaking, Lin Shu waved her fist at Song Xiaodong again, full of disdain.

Song Xiaodong said helplessly, "Yes, indeed. Here in Minghe, my reputation in this regard isn’t great. But who could blame me when I have several wives at home?"

Lin Shu’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Goodness! Uncle, you actually have multiple wives at home?"

"Yes, why not? You’ll see when we get home in a bit."

Lin Shu’s eyes grew even wider. "You’re not telling me they all live together, are you?"

"Yes!" Song Xiaodong’s grin widened.

Lin Shu’s lips twitched. "You really are something, Uncle. My admiration for you flows as endlessly as the waters of the Yangtze River, and as uncontrollably as the floods of the Yellow River."

During the car ride, Lin Shu kept teasing Song Xiaodong, occasionally throwing in a threatening tone of banter. Meanwhile, Zhong Chuling spoke very little, but her beautiful, expressive eyes were constantly fixed on Song Xiaodong.

When the car reached a large iron gate, Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, we’re home."

Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling instantly went quiet, staring out the car windows.

The car drove through the gate and continued for another two minutes before coming to a stop. Lin Shu whispered, "Your neighborhood is enormous—the scenery is amazing."

Song Xiaodong laughed aloud and said, "This is all my house."

"What? No way! All of this belongs to you?" Lin Shu’s eyes grew impossibly wide.

"Yes." Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Let’s get out. It’s late tonight, so tomorrow, someone will take you on a tour."

The two got out of the car quietly, standing shoulder to shoulder and nervously holding hands. Even for Lin Shu, who typically wasn’t as easily fazed as Zhong Chuling, the realization of Song Xiaodong’s wealth made her feel deeply uneasy now.

Though they knew Song Xiaodong was rich, they hadn’t imagined *this* level of wealth or the kind of influence that could scare someone like Ji Huan’s family.

"Oh? Isn’t that Xiao Ling and Xiao Shu?" Right then, Lin Su’er walked over and immediately recognized the two girls. Among Song Xiaodong’s wives, Lin Su’er was the one most familiar with them.

"Ah! Sister Su’er! You’re here too?" Zhong Chuling and Lin Shu greeted her enthusiastically upon seeing someone they knew.

Lin Su’er smiled and said, "Yes," before turning her gaze to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Su’er is my wife as well."

Lin Shu couldn’t help muttering, "Figures."

Song Xiaodong said, "Su’er, why don’t you arrange a place for them to stay?"

Lin Su’er laughed and agreed, then looked Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling up and down. "You two are dressed so beautifully today," she said, and then she shot Song Xiaodong a teasingly knowing look.

Song Xiaodong felt a bit awkward and quickly retorted, "They’re here to hang out. I happened to run into them today, so I brought them over to be a good host."

Lin Su’er chuckled lightly and said, "Alright then, that makes sense. Xiao Ling, Xiao Shu, come along—I’ll show you to your rooms."

Waving goodbye to Song Xiaodong, the two followed Lin Su’er. Their eyes darting around curiously in every direction, their reaction mirrored that of anyone visiting the Su Family for the first time—like Grandma Liu’s first visit to the Grand View Garden, full of wide-eyed wonder.

"This place is so huge... and so beautiful!" Lin Shu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Lin Su’er smiled and said, "Then stay and have fun for a few more days."

"Sounds great!" Lin Shu answered enthusiastically before giving a sly grin and asking, "Sister Su’er, are you *really* Uncle’s wife?"

"Yes, why?" Lin Su’er asked with a bright smile.

Lin Shu stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh, nothing. I was just curious since Uncle said he has multiple wives. Are the others super fierce?"

Zhong Chuling looked at Lin Su’er curiously as well.

Lin Su’er laughed and replied, "Nah, everyone gets along really well. I’ll introduce them to you tomorrow. Why, are you thinking of joining us?"

Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling instantly turned red, and Lin Shu quickly said, "No, no, not at all! I was just asking out of curiosity—we wouldn’t dare entertain such an idea."

Lin Su’er chuckled and said, "Suit yourselves. But let me tell you, any woman who gets brought home by Dongzi doesn’t stay as just a guest—they become one of his."
