Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Make an Exception for Me Once

"Lin Dong, let go of my brother! Are you seeking death?"

It was only at that moment that Zhou Na realized what was happening and ran over to Lin Dong, yelling at him.

However, Lin Dong completely ignored her and continued to address Zhou Ming:

"I’m asking you a question. Who is the ’little white face’?"

Zhou Ming cursed furiously, "You dare make me drink pool water? Believe it or not, I’ll make you..."

"Gulp gulp..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Dong once again pushed his head under the water.

This time, for a long duration.

Zhou Ming, submerged, felt a sensation of suffocation, even believing that he might die the next moment.

Zhou Na, by then, had run over, intending to save her younger brother. But it was at this moment that Lin Dong shot her a look.

His gaze was full of momentum, carrying the oppressive aura unique to an Explosive Qi Master.

Under the force of that gaze, Zhou Na felt as if a mountain bore down on her, her legs instantly went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Only then did Lin Dong lift Zhou Ming’s head out of the water.

At that moment, Zhou Ming coughed violently, tears coming out with it. When he looked at Lin Dong again, his eyes were filled with fear.

He stammered, "Madman, you... madman!"

"I asked you a question. Answer me!" Lin Dong glared coldly at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming shivered, completely terrified now.

A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him; he immediately conceded.

"I am the ’little white face,’ I’m the ’little white face,’ please just let me go!" Zhou Ming said, lowering his head.

Lin Dong tossed him aside and disdainfully said:

"My Sister Bing rejected you and chose me; it’s obvious, it’s not just your looks that are inferior to mine, you’re also deficient. Men as weak as you should reflect more upon yourselves after being rejected, instead of being sour grapes and disparaging others, calling them superficial!"

"I think no woman would fancy a ’little white face’ like you, kidney-deficient, physically weak, lacking energy, with unremarkable looks, just a fair face..."

These words were like needles to Zhou Ming’s heart.

Zhou Ming’s face turned bright red. He wanted to retort, but what made it most cruel was that everything said was true.

There was simply no way to argue back.

After leaving these words behind, Lin Dong took Qiao Bing’s hand and strode away.

It was a good few dozen seconds after he left that Zhou Na and Zhou Ming, still stunned, hadn’t moved from the spot.

It was Wang Ling, who had come out from Qiao’s Villa, that finally brought them back to reality.

Seeing Zhou Ming soaked through and Zhou Na sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, Wang Ling exclaimed:

"Na Na, Ming Ming, what happened here?"

Zhou Ming clenched his jaw, his fair face nearly in tears as he said resentfully, "Mom, you must get revenge for me."

"It was Qiao Bing’s boyfriend, he beat me. He submerged me in the pool, I nearly drowned just now!"

That was his character, extremely soft.

As a boy, he couldn’t even win a fight against a girl; once defeated, he would run home to his parents.

Even when he previously had dealings with the sisters Qiao Xue and Qiao Bing, if he faced losses, he would act the same way.

Now grown up, an adult, even working, he still kept to these habits.

It seems that what Lin Dong made him say just now wasn’t wrong at all.

This was a true ’little white face,’ a fair-faced good-for-nothing!

Wang Ling heard her son’s words, her anger rising sky high.

She turned around and returned to Qiao’s Villa.

After entering the Qiao Family’s premise, she found Chu Yunxiu again.

Chu Yunxiu frowned in puzzlement, "Why have you come back?"

Wang Ling put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Chu Yunxiu, you must give me an explanation today. My son was pressed into the pool and beaten by your daughter Qiao Bing’s boyfriend."

"He was almost beaten to death!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunxiu was first taken aback, then rolled her eyes at her.

"Give you an explanation my foot. Lin Dong beat someone up, what does that have to do with my daughter Qiao Bing? What does it have to do with me, Chu Yunxiu? I don’t even acknowledge the relationship between Lin Dong and my daughter. Does him beating someone up have anything to do with our family?"

"This..." Wang Ling was at a loss for words.

"Hmph, I was just saying that your son was a bit better than Lin Dong. Now I take back my words. Your son is not even as good as Lin Dong. He’s grown up and still fights and loses, and he’s still just like when he was a kid, only knowing how to tattle. He really hasn’t changed at all."

Chu Yunxiu curled her lip.

Wang Ling stamped her foot with anger, "Chu Yunxiu, you... you’re unreasonable!"

"My family... we are not done with yours!"

Having said that, she left in a huff.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxiu mumbled, "Well, I have to say, Lin Dong has never disappointed in a fight."

But even so, she still absolutely opposed him being with her daughter.

Finding a husband is not like finding a bodyguard.

What’s the use of being good at fighting?

Lin Dong and Qiao Bing had walked a long way from Qiao’s Villa when suddenly Qiao Bing stopped.

At the moment, her eyes were rarely suffused with red.

"Lin Dong, since childhood, I have grown up in this environment. Being from a single-parent family, I was pointed at and talked about by various people."

"Actually, not just Zhou Na and her family, many relatives of our family also looked down on us like that in the past."

"Over the years, I have become accustomed to it and don’t care about what others say about me."

"I used to get good grades at school, but according to them, I was just a bookish nerd! I pursued a direct Ph.D. in medicine and became a director at a Grade III Hospital once I graduated. However, in their eyes, they say no matter how much I study or find a good job, I’ll eventually marry off into someone else’s family, useless! They introduce their so-called young gentlemen to pursue me, clearly I rejected them because I didn’t like them, but they perceive me as that superficial woman who looks down on others."

"Heh... of course, I can tolerate all these things. But there’s one thing I can’t."

At that point, she suddenly looked up at Lin Dong.

"That thing is, they look at you the same way. Even though you are so excellent, excellent to the point that I admire you, excellent that all your peers in the Dragon Country pale in comparison. What gives them the right to demean someone like you, as if you’re worthless?!"

"Lin Dong, I know you want to keep a low profile, you’re indifferent by nature, and don’t care about others’ opinions. But this time, Lin Dong, could you make an exception for me?"

"At my grandpa’s sixtieth birthday banquet, tell all those who once looked down on me. Tell them the man Qiao Bing has found is someone they couldn’t reach even if they tried with everything spanning three generations before and after!"

"This time, I want to fiercely slap the faces of Zhou Na and those people!"

"Alright!" Lin Dong, looking directly into Qiao Bing’s somewhat red eyes, replied with one single word, concise and firm.

That night.

In Jianghai City, Mayor Fang, President of the Jianghai Commerce Association, the wealthiest Shen Yun, the Ye Family from Jianghai’s wealthy families, the Bai Family from Southern Capital, the Xiao Family from the Southern Faction of the War Department, the Qian Family from the big clans, and numerous famous doctors from the Southern Faction of Chinese Medicine among other top forces all received a secret invitation.

They were invited to come to Jianghai in eight days to attend the sixtieth birthday banquet of an old man.

The old man’s name was Qiao Guoting.

And the one who extended the invitation was surnamed Lin, named Dong.

Upon seeing the invitation, everyone was overjoyed and taken aback.

Without any hesitation, they immediately responded, expressing their utmost honor and assured they would come.
