Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082

Su Tianyu’s face slightly changed, looking helplessly at Grandpa Su.

Back when Tang Ming was appointed as the group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team in the Dark Group, it was indeed the Lin Family who backed him.

The other families back then had no clue who Tang Ming was and naturally opposed him, yet now he has become the Lin Family’s trump card, allowing them a firm foothold.

Grandpa Su shook his head helplessly, knowing there’s no way to argue anymore with the Lin Family now.

They can only strive to ensure both families benefit.

"Brother Su, there’s no need to be tense. To be honest, when we break it down, the Lin Family isn’t exactly stealing a march. After all, back in Songlan City, Lin Xue was the first to meet Tang Ming, and Tang Ming has ties with my son. Now letting him bear the title of Lin Xue’s fiancé is quite reasonable."

Seeing Su Tianyu remain silent, Lin Qingfeng patiently explained.

"What can I possibly say at this point?"

Su Tianyu sighed helplessly.

"We mustn’t let this issue harm our camaraderie. Actually, now Lin Xue and Su Xiaoxi are on the same starting line. As for who will truly win Tang Ming’s heart in the end, that depends on their own abilities. Wouldn’t you agree?"

Lin Qingfeng analyzed it very reasonably.

"That’s right. Then let’s say to the outside world that Tang Xin is a joint son-in-law of both the Su and Lin families, the shared fiancé of Lin Xue and Su Xiaoxi. Anyway, martial arts folks don’t sweat the details, especially when someone as outstanding as Tang Xin can have three wives or four concubines normally."

After exchanging glances with Grandpa Su, Su Tianyu reluctantly suggested.

"That’s the best outcome. If Tang Ming really could marry Su Xiaoxi and Lin Xue in the future, our two families would become even closer."

Lin Qingfeng suddenly laughed.

"Indeed, indeed. Let’s have tea together sometime, but for today let’s leave it at this, no more chat, okay?"

After speaking, Su Tianyu hung up the phone.

"Really a playboy with no morals."

Su Xiaoxi immediately scorned.

"You cheeky girl, how dare you say that."

Grandpa Su slapped the table, glaring at Su Xiaoxi:

"Originally, you had such a great advantage, yet still you haven’t won Tang Xin over. Now look, Lin Xue from the Lin Family has overtaken the lead, and if they become an authentic couple, our Su Family will lose a promising son-in-law."

Seeing Grandpa Su shouting at her, Su Xiaoxi immediately felt wronged, her eyes reddening. She had sacrificed so much, even losing her virginity, what more do they want?

"Father, please don’t be angry. We can’t blame Xiaoxi for this, it’s really..."

Su Tianyu quickly protected Su Xiaoxi, wanting to defend her, but was at a loss for words. After all, it was Su Xiaoxi’s lack of charm and skill.

"Humph, I didn’t think much of it before, but now I’m truly worried about the Wu and Long families inviting Tang Xin, what could be their purpose?"

Grandpa Su huffed coldly, furrowing his brows in contemplation.

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Tianyu was instantly stunned, looking puzzled at Grandpa Su.

"The Su Family has daughters, the Lin Family has daughters, do the Wu and Long families not have daughters too?"

Grandpa Su sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Su Tianyu’s face slightly changed.

Since the Lin Family could push Lin Xue onto Tang Ming, naturally after receiving news, the Wu and Long families would follow suit. By then, wouldn’t Tang Xin become the son-in-law of all four families?

"Had I known this, I should never have agreed to the invitation from those two families for Tang Ming."

Su Tianyu sighed helplessly, his insides gnashing with regret.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaoyu drove to the Su Family to pick up Tang Ming. This time, Grandpa Su and Su Tianyu had gathered the Su Family members to see him off, each looking at Tang Ming with complex expressions.

Especially Grandpa Su and Su Tianyu, almost forcing themselves to resist the impulse to stop Tang Ming from attending the banquet. The families were part of the same faction, after all, and they couldn’t let this one matter strain relationships.

In the end, they could only continuously remind Tang Ming to return early, repeatedly stressing that Su Xiaoxi was waiting at home and such.

Their purpose was to say it for Wu Xiaoyu to hear, to dissuade the Wu Family from any unrealistic ideas.

Unfortunately, Wu Xiaoyu was utterly oblivious to the Su Family’s hints. After greeting them, she drove off with Tang Ming.

On the road, Wu Xiaoyu shot a complex glance at Tang Ming while driving.

"Big sister, if you keep looking at me like that, I’ll feel very uncomfortable."

Tang Ming protested with a face of helplessness.

"Hehe, will you really feel uncomfortable? You seem to be enjoying yourself now, don’t you?"

Wu Xiaoyu sneered coldly, previously overwhelmed by Tang Ming’s strength, not daring to oppose him anymore.

But suddenly hearing yesterday that Tang Xin had become the son-in-law of the Lin Family, this guy was clearly Su Xiaoxi’s fiancé, yet now shamelessly mingling with Lin Xue. His character was truly despicable.

"What do you mean by that, why do I hear a tone of mockery?"

Tang Ming adjusted his posture, confusedly looking at Wu Xiaoyu.

"Are you not aware of what you’ve done?"

Wu Xiaoyu curled her lips in disdain, "You are already Su Xiaoxi’s fiancé, so why agree to become Lin Xue’s fiancé too? So blatantly two-timing, aren’t you afraid of things backfiring?"

"Oh, you mean this matter!"

Tang Ming realized, then looked at Wu Xiaoyu as if she was a fool: "Let me ask you, what was the reason for our first confrontation?"

"Because you were Hao Jian’s rival in love, and he was chasing..."

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly froze: "However, weren’t you just Lin Xue’s temporary shield, or..."

"The play acted became real! The Lin Family insisted on marrying Lin Xue to me, and I couldn’t even refuse if I wanted to. There was no choice; when a man is charming, peach blossom luck just keeps coming."

"Humph, the Lin Family must be really low, actually allowing Lin Xue to be your concubine, what were they thinking."

Upon hearing that it was the Lin Family trying to marry off Lin Xue to Tang Ming, Wu Xiaoyu immediately expressed disdain.

"I can’t understand what they were thinking either."

Tang Ming shook his head helplessly. If he could, he really wouldn’t want to attract so many women.

His marriage with Liu Mengting hasn’t even been annulled yet, and now he’s acquired several more fiancées—Lin Xue, Su Xiaoxi, plus Teacher Li... Luckily, he’s not a lecherous person.

Otherwise, with so many stunning beauties throwing themselves at him, he’d probably die of excessive indulgence, let alone talk about improving cultivation.

"Anyway, the Wu Family would never do something so shameless."

Wu Xiaoyu concluded, then focused on driving, no longer paying attention to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming closed his eyes, envisioning what feast the Wu Family might prepare today, unwilling to speak much, and there wasn’t much to say between him and Wu Xiaoyu.
