Chapter 468: Chapter 468: I am not for you to veto

News of Lin Tiance’s courtship of Qiao Xue spread the next day.

Not only was Jianghai shocked, but even the Capital City was stirred.

There, in the Capital City, Lin Tiance was among the leading young masters and stood out. Countless people pursued him.

At this moment, his pursuers, upon learning that Lin Tiance had made a romantic overture to someone else, were inconsolably heartbroken.

And in the Capital City, the matter became a hot topic of discussion.

"Who is this Qiao Xue that she could attract the attention of Lin Tiance!"

"I’ve looked into this Qiao Xue’s background, she’s just a CEO of some company in Jianghai, with only a couple of billion to her name!"

"She does indeed possess stunning beauty, but aside from her looks, she doesn’t measure up to Lin Tiance."

"In terms of family background, influence, power, strength, she’s not on the same level as Lin Tiance, not even suitable to be his lover."

"Will the Lin family agree to let Lin Tiance marry this Qiao Xue in a formal wedding?"

"..."

As the Capital City was buzzing with this news, yet another piece of news exploded from behind the scenes at the Lin family.

That was that Lin Tiance and Qiao Xue had gone straight to engagement.

And the engagement was set for six months later!

This development blew everyone’s minds even more.

In Jianghai, the engagement between Lin Tiance and Qiao Xue caused an even bigger sensation.

With some people intentionally promoting it, it became the biggest news in Jianghai this year.

Like when Lin Dong became the Leader of the Southern faction and won in the big medical comparison between the Northern and Southern factions, it caused a great stir too. But that was limited to the medical world.

Yet this time, with Lin Tiance and Qiao Xue’s engagement, it reached the entire social circle.

Everybody in Jianghai was talking about the news.

"Heavens, our Jianghai Business’s number one beauty, Qiao Xue, is actually engaged to Lin Tiance!"

"Eh, I remember before, this Jianghai Business’s number one beauty Qiao Xue, didn’t she have an engagement? It seemed to be with someone named Lin Dong!"

"Hey, your news is outdated. The two of them dissolved their engagement long ago!"

"That’s right, I’ve never even heard of that Lin Dong. How could he match up with our Jianghai’s number one beauty, Qiao Xue."

"The Qiao family is going to soar, and Qiao Xue even more so; she’s about to marry into a wealthy family!"

"I heard that the wedding is going to take place in the Capital City in half a year. Lin Tiance has already announced that he wants to throw a wedding of the century!"

"..."

The matter became today’s hot gossip in the streets and alleys of Jianghai and was being discussed among all walks of life.

In the commercial world, many companies and groups got wind of this and took action. They all approached Qiao Xue looking to collaborate.

For a while, Qiao Xue’s company’s orders exploded, with a queue of people wanting to cooperate with her stretching for kilometers.

Lin Dong left right after Lin Tiance’s confession the previous night.

Regarding this matter, he observed with a detached attitude.

After dissolving the marriage agreement with Qiao Xue, he had said that there would be no further romantic entanglement between them.

So it didn’t matter to him who she got engaged to.

Nevertheless, when Lin Dong went to work in the morning, he still sensed many people looking at him with peculiar glances.

And many were whispering among themselves.

"I heard that Doctor Lin Dong used to be Qiao Xue’s fiancé, but she dumped him."

"That Qiao Xue really has high standards. Doctor Lin Dong is actually quite outstanding."

"No matter how outstanding he is, how can he compare to the Capital City’s Lin Tiance?"

"Indeed! If I were Qiao Xue, I would also choose Lin Tiance!"

"..."

Clearly, even though Lin Dong had achieved considerable success in the hospital, in the eyes of these people, his achievements couldn’t compare to Lin Tiance from the Capital City.

Lin Dong did not pay attention to this criticism, instead going quietly about his work.

Just before the end of the workday, Qiao Bing came to Lin Dong’s department to find him.

"Lin Dong, come to my house for dinner tonight. My sister specifically asked me to invite you."

"Why did your sister invite me?" Lin Dong frowned.

"She said it was Lin Tiance’s idea. It seems that Lin Tiance has something to discuss with you," said Qiao Bing.

"Okay!"

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

After work, Lin Dong headed for Qiao’s Villa.

The Qiao family had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

When Lin Dong arrived with Qiao Bing, Chu Yunxiu furrowed her brows slightly, "Lin Dong, what are you doing here?

"I didn’t invite you tonight. I made this lavish spread specifically for Young Master Lin!"

Although Chu Yunxiu’s attitude toward Lin Dong had improved after the last incident,

now, with Lin Tiance’s engagement to Qiao Xue, she had once again changed her attitude toward Lin Dong.

In her eyes, how could Lin Dong compare to Lin Tiance!

"Yun Xiu, what are you talking about? Lin Dong’s relationship with our family is such that he can come over whenever he wants," Elder Qiao said.

Qiao Bing also spoke up, "Mom, Lin Dong is now my boyfriend. Is it wrong for him to come over for dinner?"

Chu Yunxiu sighed and could only say, "Lin Dong, when Young Master Lin arrives later, make sure you speak to him nicely. Perhaps he will look after you in the future."

Lin Dong responded coldly, "I don’t need his care."

"Hmph," Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes upon hearing this, "Why do you have to show off? You think you’re something because you’ve become the so-called Leader of the Southern faction?"

"You’re just a frog at the bottom of the well, thinking a bit of accomplishment in a small place like Jianghai is something to be proud of. That’s all you’ll ever be in this lifetime."

Hearing these words, Lin Dong retorted calmly and firmly:

"Aunty, if my achievements surpass those of Lin Tiance in the future, what then?"

"Hahaha..." Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but burst into hysterical laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Then, she enunciated each word deliberately, "You’ll never, in your lifetime, surpass Young Master Lin!!!"

"Then just keep your eyes wide open and watch closely. Although I come from humble origins, I am still young, and my future is not something you can simply dismiss with a word!" After saying this, Lin Dong no longer paid her any attention.

At that moment, Lin Tiance had arrived.
