Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Who is the Frog at the Bottom of the Well?

Lin Dong leapt onto the cliff where Chu Yunxiu had been standing and reached out to grab her.

Then, he pulled her up with force, lifting her body as if she were a little chicken.

With another leap, he jumped next to Qiao Xue, holding Chu Yunxiu.

He had saved Chu Yunxiu!

Seeing this, Qiao Xue hurried forward and asked her mother, "Mom, are you all right?"

Chu Yunxiu was still in a daze.

It took her a while to come to her senses.

However, she was still shaken, like someone who had been scared out of their wits.

"I... I’ve been saved, I... I didn’t die!"

"Wow, Xiaoxue, I didn’t die, that’s great!"

She immediately hugged Qiao Xue and cried.

Qiao Xue comforted her and said to Chu Yunxiu, "Mom, thanks to Lin Dong for saving you, you should really thank him this time."

But even though Lin Dong had saved her life, Chu Yunxiu was still ungrateful.

Instead, she said, "It’s only right that he saved me!"

"Besides, if it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have been startled and fallen down in the first place!"

"Mom, you’re being unreasonable now. It really was thanks to Lin Dong this time. If it weren’t for him, you would already have fallen."

"Besides, the rescue team wouldn’t have been that quick, and you wouldn’t have been able to hold out until they arrived."

Even so, Chu Yunxiu was unwilling to thank Lin Dong.

She muttered, "He should save me! No matter what, I am his mother-in-law. If he didn’t save me, that would be heartless and unscrupulous, worse than pigs and dogs."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong felt a tinge of regret for saving her.

I should have pretended to see nothing and let her fall to her death.

Shaking his head, he found he had nothing to say to her.

He didn’t expect her gratitude.

He prepared to descend the mountain with Ah Lang.

But at this moment, Qiao Xue stopped him.

"Lin Dong, no matter what, thank you," Qiao Xue said.

Lin Dong nodded and casually asked, "How did you guys come to The Imperial Mountain?"

"My mom wanted to come here for a climb, so I accompanied her. But today the mountain is closed, and they wouldn’t let us go up. Huh, how did you get up here?" Qiao Xue was curious.

Lin Dong replied indifferently, "The Imperial Mountain has been fully opened now, no restrictions anymore. I just happened to come for a climb down The Imperial Mountain."

"By the way, is Sister Bing okay in the Capital City? Why didn’t she come with you?"

Qiao Xue helplessly said, "She’s a workaholic. I did invite her to come along, but she didn’t want to, so I didn’t force her."

"She’s doing pretty well in the Capital City and has quite a reputation in the Hospital. As far as I know, many young masters in the Capital City want to pursue her. But she said she’s already married. Lin Dong, have you and my younger sister registered your marriage?"

Chu Yunxiu also exclaimed, "Right, Lin Dong, I’ve been meaning to ask you about this. Did you secretly go and register your marriage with Little Bing?"

Lin Dong shook his head, "We haven’t registered yet."

"Then why does she say she’s married?" Chu Yunxiu yelled.

Qiao Xue immediately understood, "Probably it’s Little Bing’s excuse to reject those young masters in the Capital City. She doesn’t want others to pursue her anymore. She has set her heart on Lin Dong for life!"

Chu Yunxiu, gnashing her teeth with anger, said, "That stubborn girl. I just don’t understand what’s so good about you, Lin Dong, that she’d set her heart on you for life."

"Which one of those young masters in the Capital City isn’t better than you?"

Lin Dong said with a stern face, "Aunty, I’m not as bad as you think. The so-called young masters of the Capital City are nothing in my eyes."

Chu Yunxiu sneered, "You haven’t changed at all with your ability to boast. Don’t think just because you have some connections and small accomplishments in Jianghai, a small city, that you can look down on everything."

"You’ve never been to the Capital City; you have no idea what real nobles are like."

Even Qiao Xue stared at Lin Dong for a while and said,

"Lin Dong, my mom might have been a bit harsh, but she does have a point."

"Lin Dong, you still need to work hard. Don’t just stay in a small place, limiting your vision."

"Otherwise, over time, you will only become an arrogant frog at the bottom of the well."

Hearing Qiao Xue’s words, Lin Dong knew she still hadn’t changed. She always saw him as nothing more than a frog at the bottom of the well.

He didn’t bother to explain further and said coldly, "Qiao Xue, our marriage contract has been dissolved; my status is none of your concern, right?"

"Even if I’m worthless, even if I am just a frog at the bottom of the well, it’s none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xue became emotional.

She loudly said, "Lin Dong, do you know why I dissolved our marriage agreement in the first place? It wasn’t because I had no feelings for you, but because your lack of ambition made me feel you wouldn’t go far!"

"How can a real man live his life without achieving anything?"

"What’s the difference between him and a firefly?"

"Even though our marriage agreement is indeed dissolved and I might truly have no right to care about you, as a man, you should still make something of yourself!"

"Moreover, Little Bing is still my younger sister."

"As my future brother-in-law, I have every right to say this. I hope that my sister Qiao Xue marries a man who stands tall and proud, a man who has achieved something."

"Even if you can’t reach the heights where Lin Tiance calls the wind and summons the rain, at least, you should be at the level of some other young masters in the Capital City, like the Four Young Masters of the Capital City."

"Not like you are now, aimless, wandering about in leisure, like a frog at the bottom of the well, uttering arrogant words."

"That’s all I have to say, consider it well!"

After saying this, she took her mother and prepared to descend the mountain.

As for Lin Dong, he spoke a phrase at that moment.

"Qiao Xue, you underestimate me too much!"

"Heh, it’s not that I underestimate you. It’s just that you stand too low, like The Imperial Mountain here. You stand here, thinking you can see a lot of scenery, feeling very proud of yourself. But what is that bit of scenery in front of the higher peaks like Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak?" Qiao Xue said over her shoulder, shaking her head.

"Qiao Xue, you think the views from Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak are great, but up there, high above at the Top of the Sea of Clouds, above Nine Heavens, what is your bit of view worth?"

After saying this, Lin Dong also snorted and took Ah Lang down the mountain from another side.
