Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Lin Chuxue’s Pain_1

Su Chengyu wouldn’t be courteous to people like Tang Jin. When it was time to push, he wouldn’t hold back. Right now, the one thing he lacked the most was various materials for alchemy.

A Lingzhi mushroom of two hundred years was already incredibly rare. Therefore, it was no wonder Tang Jin was reluctantly fishing it out.

"Su Chengyu, don’t push your luck. You have to leave some for me, right? You know how much effort it took me to get this two hundred-year-old Lingzhi, right?"

Tang Jin was gritting his teeth, clearly unwilling.

"You think you have the right to choose? Remember, deliver within today, or die. Alright, you can leave now. Of course, if your skin is thick, you can also stay and finish the meal before you go."

After Su Chengyu spoke coldly, Tang Jin dared not retort. Who told him and his son to provoke Su Chengyu?

The father and son left the banquet hall dispiritedly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Su, for becoming a Grandmaster and ranking among the top three masters."

Zhou Chaoming immediately expressed his congratulations, Zhou Jinping gave Su Chengyu a thumbs up and said, "Brother Yu, you’re impressive. You’ve become a grandmaster so soon."

Su Chengyu waved his hand, Lin Zhengxun and others also hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Mr. Su. Now we should start calling you Grandmaster Su now."

Lin Chu Yin even took the initiative to come over, grabbed Su Chengyu’s arm and said: "Mr. Su, you’re amazing."

At this time, Lin Chuxue was standing at the back of the banquet hall, quietly watching Su Chengyu. When she saw Lin Chu Yin laughing and talking with Su Chengyu, she felt very uncomfortable inside.

"HuanFeng, where’s your sister?" Su Chengyu asked.

"In the back lounge." Lin Huan Feng said.

"I’ll go see her."

Su Chengyu walked towards the back of the banquet hall, and Lin Chu Yin looked unhappy. The guests took their seats one after another. After Lin Zhengxun’s sworn brother Yuan Zhendong sat down, he asked, "Old Lin, were you talking about cancelling the marriage between the two kids for Mr. Su?"

If it were before, Lin Zhengxun would admit it without hesitation, but now, Su Chengyu had offended many people, and Lin Zhengxun didn’t want to show that the Lin Family and Su Chengyu had a close relationship.

"Children have their own luck, I just feel, people of our old generation, shouldn’t interfere too much. If Chu Xue and Chao Qun like each other, the marital engagement wouldn’t matter. As for Mr. Su, indeed there is a bit of a relationship with Chu Xue, but not to the point of talking about love. Young people’s thoughts, I can’t figure it out!"

Lin Zhengxun was ambiguous in his words but still quite tactful.

Yuan Zhendong laughed out loud: "You old fox, you’re always like this in your words, I don’t believe you don’t want to pull Mr. Su, who has such great potential, into our camp. Probably because he has offended quite a few people, making you hesitant."

Yuan Zhendong and Lin Zhengxun had known each other for decades, he understood Lin Zhengxun’s thoughts with just a few words.

"There’s really nothing I can hide from you." Lin Zhengxun also laughed.

Su Chengyu entered the lounge, Lin Chuxue was sitting in the chair playing on her phone, seemingly indifferent on the surface, but her mind was a mess.

"Everyone’s about to start eating out there, aren’t you having dinner?"

Su Chengyu sat down next to Lin Chuxue and asked with a smile.

"Does it matter to you whether I eat or not?"

Lin Chuxue stayed glued to her phone, not even glancing at Su Chengyu. "Of course, it does. We have a relationship."

Su Chengyu placed his hand on Lin Chuxue’s smooth thigh. Lin Chuxue abruptly stood up, her face cold as she scolded: "What are you doing? Get your nasty hands off me."

Su Chengyu wasn’t expecting such a dramatic reaction from Lin Chuxue. After the poisoning incident, he felt that Lin Chuxue’s resistance towards him had faded considerably, and their relationship had taken a step further.

But the current Lin Chuxue was just like when they first met, aloof and detached.

"Su Chengyu, be careful with your words. I have nothing to do with you. Stop trying to trick me with the same techniques you use on other women, I find it sickening."

Lin Chuxue spoke with a frosty expression.

"If you want to play games, go find Lin Chu Yin. She should be more than happy to flirt with you. As for me, I detest it."

Su Chengyu, sensing the familiar icy indifference from Lin Chuxue that he had once felt, furrowed his brows. Something seemed amiss with Lin Chuxue recently.

"What’s wrong with you? Are you jealous because I talked to Lin Chu Yin?"

Su Chengyu has always found it difficult to understand a woman’s mind. He isn’t a Casanova, nor is he adept at wooing women, let alone knowing how to pander to them.

After all, Xu Nanzhi is mature and intelligent and does not need to be pampered by Su Chengyu.

Lin Chuxue scoffed, "Mr. Su, don’t you think too highly of yourself? Who do you think you are? What makes you think I’d be jealous of you? Ridiculous!"

In the past, Lin Chuxue would be prickly and cold, but Su Chengyu always knew that it was just her feisty personality hiding a softer heart.

But today’s Lin Chuxue seemed a tad unfamiliar to him.

"So, I overestimated my importance to you?" Su Chengyu asked, a hint of a smirk on his face.

"Of course you have. Su Chengyu, let me be clear. You saved me once, but you also humiliated me. Now that you’re a grandmaster, I know I can’t seek revenge. We’re even. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways."

Lin Chuxue’s words were full of rejection and coldness. But her heart was twisting with pain, as if it were bleeding.

Lin Chuxue slightly tilted her head upwards, allowing the tears on the brink of falling, to roll back inside.

"Heh..."

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly, "Alright! Let’s go our separate ways then."

At this moment, Yuan Chaoqun entered the lounge. Yuan Chaoqun, with his scholarly grace and glasses, had a genteel appearance.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Su," Yuan Chaoqun bowed to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu nodded subtly, then Yuan Chaoqun turned to Lin Chuxue," Chu Xue, dinner has begun. Why haven’t you gone out? Did I interrupt you two? If you have something to discuss with Grandmaster Su, I can leave first."

Yuan Chaoqun is technically the man Lin Chuxue was betrothed to in childhood. Of course, the engagement is canceled now.

Yuan Chaoqun is one of the few men that Lin Chuxue doesn’t despise, mostly due to his refined demeanor and amiable personality. Even when Lin Chuxue used to tease him as a child, he never held any grudges, maintaining a polite facade which makes it hard for anyone to dislike him.

"No problem! There’s nothing for us to discuss," Lin Chuxue said.

"Mr. Su, let me introduce you to Yuan Chaoqun, my fiancé."

"Chuxue, our engagement has been..."

Yuan Chaoqun was about to explain, but a stern look from Lin Chuxue silenced him.

"I wish you a happy marriage."

Saying so, Su Chengyu exited the lounge. Lin Chuxue’s bottled-up frustration dissipated in an instant. Her face turned pale, and her body swayed as if about to collapse. Yuan Chaoqun quickly supported her.

"What’s wrong? You look distressed. Do we need to go to the hospital?" Yuan Chaoqun asked.

"I’m fine, I just need a rest. You go ahead to dinner," Lin Chuxue shook her head.

"I’ll stay with you for a while. Despite our engagement being canceled, we’re still friends, right?"

Yuan Chaoqun got up and poured a cup of warm water for Lin Chuxue, embodying the classic image of a warm-hearted man.

"Thank you."

Lin Chuxue held the cup of water, took a sip, but it did little to soothe the painful, gaping wound in her heart. It hurt, stinging with the rawness of a fresh wound!
