Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 182

When Jiang Xiu hear this news, he couldn't help but think that Cheng Lingsu did well. During their final meeting before coming to the Imperial Capital, Jiang Xiu warned her to get a boyfriend. She actually did as she was told.
This act was quite vulgar and would destroy her image so Lin Yueling won't like her anymore. Her parents would have nothing to say as well. If Jiang Xiu used this as a reason to break off the engagement, all the blame would fall on her head.
However, it was possible that Cheng Lingsu understood that there was no point in dragging this out. She couldn't be together with Jiang Xiu so she might as well grab this chance.
He believed that Cheng Lingsu was quite a realistic person.
She had done the same in the previous life. She did all she could and plotted to break free from him. Although this would tarnish her reputation, she didn't care about that in her previous life.
Cheng Lingran asked him, "Did you have a fight?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head.
Cheng Lingran looked at him with an extremely harsh gaze, "What happened then? Something must have happened between you, or else Susu wouldn't have gotten into a relationship publicly. She didn't listen to my advice at all."
"Maybe she doesn't like me?" Jiang Xiu said.
"Emotions are quite a complex thing."
Cheng Lingran agreed with that statement. Liking a person was a subjective matter, but Jiang Xiu and her little sister had a good relationship since their childhood. Both the families had already decided that they would husband and wife.
Her mood was quite bad right now. On the one hand, she felt dejected in place of Jiang Xiu. Someone had used such a vile method against Jiang Xiu by hooking up with her little sister, but she wasn't expecting him to say such words. On the other hand, the other side was her own sister, even if she felt angry, she couldn't take it out on her sister.
"I don't agree to this. I won't let you and Susu break up…" She said in a firm tone, "Uncle, Aunt, as well as my parents, would never agree."
Cheng Lingran knew some of the matters. After all, she was already 7 years old when the incident happened.
"If she's happy with the person, isn't it better to let her go?" Jiang Xiu added in.
Cheng Lingran's eyes grew wide in shock, "What are you saying? Little Xiu, how can you even think of something like that? You should be thinking of how to get Susu back right now. Don't worry, both the families stand at your side regarding this matter."
Ehh, no need to do that. You all can stand on her side, okay?
But Jiang Xiu could never say these words out.
"You must show your manliness later! Make that brat understand that you are Susu's real fiancé and make him give up, got it?"
Jiang Xiu forced out a smile.
"Did you hear me?"
"Oh!"
On the way, Jiang Xiu asked Cheng Lingran about her work. She had already begun to adapt and put her intelligence and wisdom to use during these few days. Moreover, with Jiang Xiu as the Big Boss supporting her from behind, she didn't have any worries in the company.
"Phoenix Pavilion, it's a good place."
Jiang Xiu got down the car and looked at the palace-style restaurant in front of him. This wasn't a place anyone could come to. In the previous timeline, he and Cheng Lingran passed through this road several times. It was too expensive to eat here, and even if they could afford it, they wouldn't enter here.
"It looks like the boy's home has good money." Cheng Lingran stated.
Jiang Xiu said, "Indeed."
Pat!
Cheng Lingran patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder, "Little Xiu, don't feel afraid. Leave it all to me. What if he has a little money? We also had it before, didn't we?"
Aren't you the one who's feeling scared?
Both of them went inside the restaurant. Not matter whether it was the weekdays or the weekend, the place was always packed. Waitresses in Chinese-style dresses accompanied them and lead them towards the private room.
When the door was pushed open, two seated people came into view. One of them was Cheng Lingsu who Jiang Xiu hadn't seen in 2 months. She was sitting wherever and tapped the table with her fingers lightly while holding a book in her other hand which she was reading right now.
When she heard the sound of the door opening, she revealed a smile, "It's my sister." However, when she raised her head and saw Jiang Xiu along with Cheng Lingran, astonishment flashed through her eyes. It flashed away in a moment then she regained her usual expression. "You've also come." Her voice was quite flat.
"Please sit down, you two!" The youth beside her spoke out to them. He was 1.8 m tall and was pretty thin with a fair face and high nose. His eyes seemed full of wisdom, and his appearance didn't lose out to Ye Wenchen.
"You are the elder sister, right? I am Song Ronghao, Susu's boyfriend!" He said eloquently with his own pace. One look was enough to determine he was a conservative person.
Cheng Lingran didn't answer him and merely glared at him.
Song Ronghao felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly brought a smile to his face. Cheng Lingran was Susu's elder sister, so he didn't dare to offend her.
"This is…"
"I am Jiang Xiu!" Jiang Xiu replied.
Our Deity Xiu who usually had a high-up attitude acted unusually good this time. He had high expectations that this brother would help him break free from this engagement's fetters.
"Oh! Nice to meet you! Please take a seat!" Though Song Ronghao didn't know who Jiang Xiu was, since he had come with the elder sister, and saw that they seemed quite close, he acted politely as well.
Cheng Lingran glared at Jiang Xiu who took a seat beside her. She felt very vexed at his actions, "Do you understand the situation? This person is trying to snatch your fiancée. He's your enemy. Why are you acting polite to him?"
"Why are you sitting beside me? Go sit beside Susu."
"You are Susu's fiancé!"
Kek. Eldest Lady Cheng was set on making a scene.
She had dropped an atom bomb on the first attack.
Cheng Lingsu bowed her head and continued to read her book. The smile on Song Ronghao's face went rigid, and the gaze with which he looked at Jiang Xiu turned from a friendly one to a hostile one. Eldest Lady Cheng had drawn all the aggro to Jiang Xiu.
"Quickly go over there!"
"It'll get quite crowded over there with three people. Can't I just sit beside you?"
She almost went insane from his answer.
She sent him a gaze full of resentment and ignored him so that he would brace it all alone.
"Susu, is this person really your fiancé?" Song Ronghao asked her.
"Mhm!" Cheng Lingsu turned another page and lightly hummed through her nose. Her line of sight never left the book, but it was evident that her mind wasn't as calm as she was showing as the surface due to her trembling eyelashes.
"Why didn't mention it?"
"What? Are you going to shrink back? Didn't you say you will overcome any number of difficulties or love rivals when you wooed me? How come you are afraid now?"
Her words were filled with disdain yet also didn't lack in enough encouragement.
Song Ronghao understood the situation. It looked like Susu didn't like this Jiang Xiu. This was also fine. Things like arranged marriage were old-school in the current era.
"Waiter, serve the food!"
Cheng Lingran indeed felt very angry. Her pretty brows furrowed in worry when she saw Susu read her book without any concern. She turned towards Song Ronghao, "You should know what to do now that you know Susu has a fiancé."
"Elder Sister, the times have changed. Love is a free choice. I sincerely like Susu, and she also likes me."
"Hah!"
Cheng Lingran almost exploded from the anger. She had never seen such a shameless person. He actually had the face to say these kinds of things in front of the girl's fiancé.
"Susu would never like you!"
"Also, our family doesn't agree too."
Song Ronghao said, "Every girl has the right to choose her boyfriend. An excellent girl like Susu will naturally select an even more outstanding boy."
Deity Xiu didn't like these words. Why are you stepping on this Daddy to elevate yourself to pick up the girl?
Cheng Lingran got even angrier. To her, the most important thing was emotions and not an issue of whether it was realistic, "Are you that excellent?"
"You asked the right question." Song Ronghao smiled.
He threw the Lamborghini car key in his hand to the table. It was quite rare for someone to drive a Lamborghini in the year 2008. "I study Banking together with Susu. However, before I returned to the country, I dabbled in Wall Street in the U.S. for 4-5 years. Keeping aside the fact that the Song family's assets are worth several billion, I alone have amassed 500 million during these years."
"I would like to ask you if you know any more excellent than me among my peers?"
Cheng Lingran was stunned. She had already entered the society and knew how hard it was to make money. If he had indeed made 500 million at such a young age, it was really something.
"That's nothing. Do you know Little Xiu is Jiangnan's provincial topper for the college entrance exam?" Though this paled in comparison to Song Ronghao's achievements, our Eldest Lady Cheng held onto the principle of never giving up. She kept pressing on!
However, Jiang Xiu's following words collapsed our Eldest Lady Cheng's heart entirely, "Brother, you're quite amazing!"
If a gaze could kill a person, Jiang Xiu would have died over a hundred times.
Jiang Xiu acted innocent with regards to her murderous gaze, "I'm speaking the truth. Even if people are good at studying, it won't put food on the table."
On the opposite side, Cheng Lingsu's expression became sadder by the second.
