Chapter 109: When Did I Say I Wanted to Confess?
Page (1/3)
“Brother, why don’t we just let it go?”
Su Meng could not bear to watch any longer.
Han Qingqing felt the same way.
She had never imagined that Brother Yifan would go so far for her.
“Stay out of this. He made a mistake, so he should bear the consequences.”
Su Yifan spoke in an indifferent tone.
In truth, he was already being extraordinarily lenient. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not still be breathing.
“Master Xiao, if you can’t bring yourself to do it, I can do it for you.”
Hearing the icy tone in Su Yifan’s voice, Xiao Zhengtian did not dare hesitate any longer. Gritting his teeth, he brought the bat down on his son’s legs.
Crack!
Crack!
Both of Xiao Chen’s legs were broken. He did not utter a single sound before passing out completely.
Clang!
The baseball bat slipped from Xiao Zhengtian’s hands and fell to the ground. His hands were trembling violently.
Seeing this, Su Yifan nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good. Although I spared his life today, I hope you will remember this, Master Xiao. You must make sure he does not do anything foolish afterward. Otherwise…”
He left the rest unsaid.
Xiao Zhengtian did not dare delay and replied in a low voice, “Young Master Su, rest assured. I know what to do.”
With that, Su Yifan took his sister’s hand and walked outside.
Han Qingqing had no desire to remain there either and followed closely behind.
A moment later, they arrived outside the hotel. Su Yifan looked at his sister and Han Qingqing.
“Meng’er, Qingqing, get in the car. We’re going home.”
The two girls nodded and prepared to get in.
Just then, a sharp, aggressive female voice rang out from behind them.
“Stop right there!”
The person shouting was none other than Chen Meiling, who had chased after them from the hotel.
“Mom, what do you want now?” Han Qingqing asked coldly.
“What do I want?”
Chen Meiling let out a cold snort and continued, “I went to all the trouble of finding you a wealthy husband. Not only did you two ruin everything, but now I’ve lost my job as well. You think you can just leave?”
At those words, Su Yifan suddenly remembered something. He glanced at the time and cursed inwardly.
Damn it. Why hasn’t that fellow arrived yet?
Seeing her best friend’s mother continuing to pester them, Su Meng clenched her small fists and stepped forward.
“Auntie, Qingqing already told you that she doesn’t like that man, but you insisted on marrying her off. Now he’s been reduced to this state, and you still refuse to let Qingqing go?”
These were words she had not wanted to say.
But Han Qingqing was her closest friend. She would not allow her friend to be oppressed—not even by her own mother.
“You…”
Chen Meiling was about to start cursing, but when she remembered that this was Su Yifan’s sister, she swallowed the words.
“This is a family matter. It is not your place to interfere.”

Her life as a wealthy woman had been ruined. How could she possibly let the matter end so easily?
“What if we insist on interfering?”
Su Yifan spoke up.
Chen Meiling glanced at him, then immediately looked away.
“I don’t care. She is my daughter. If I say she has to get married, then she has to get married.”
Her attitude was extremely firm.
She wanted to live the life of a rich man’s wife, and the only way she could do that was by relying on her fairly attractive daughter.
Just then, Su Yifan spotted several luxury cars approaching from a distance. He took a look at their license plates and said,
“Don’t you want Qingqing to marry into a good family?”
“Yes, exactly.”
“Then I’ll tell you this now: Qingqing already has a boyfriend.”
Su Yifan smiled.
Hearing this, Su Meng and Han Qingqing’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
No way!
Was Brother Yifan about to confess his feelings to Qingqing?
“Say yes! Say yes!”
Suddenly, cheers erupted from the side.
Su Yifan turned toward the people cheering, utterly confused.
“What are you doing?”
Crow froze and answered cautiously, “Young Master Su, weren’t you about to confess?”
The moment those words were spoken, Han Qingqing’s face turned bright red.
Wasn’t this too fast?
Even though he was Brother Yifan, she was not prepared for this yet…
Su Yifan noticed the expression on Han Qingqing’s face and quickly explained, “When did I ever say I was going to confess? I was talking about that person over there.”
He pointed toward one of the approaching luxury cars.
Just then, several luxury vehicles pulled up nearby.
A handsome young man in a perfectly tailored suit stepped out of the lead car. It was none other than Lin Ming, who had just arrived.
He had been cultivating earlier and had not noticed the message sent by his close friend.
Only after he finished cultivating did he see it, and he immediately rushed over without stopping.
Fortunately, he had made it in time.
When Su Yifan saw that Lin Ming had finally arrived, he quickly gave him a meaningful look.
Lin Ming understood at once and walked straight toward Han Qingqing.
“Qingqing, I’m here.”
As he spoke, he extended one hand with perfect gentlemanly courtesy.
Han Qingqing was completely bewildered.
She looked toward Su Yifan.

After receiving Su Yifan’s signal, she slowly raised her delicate hand and placed it in Lin Ming’s.
Chen Meiling watched the scene. She froze for a moment, then wore an expression that suggested she had seen through everything and let out a cold snort.
“Don’t think I don’t know that you hired an actor. And these cars were rented too, weren’t they?”
Su Yifan said nothing and simply watched in silence.
Lin Ming spoke up. “Auntie, you misunderstand. I’m not an actor.”
As he spoke, he took a business card from his jacket pocket and continued,
“This is my business card. Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Lin Ming, and I am the sole heir to the Lin Group of Cloud City.”
Chen Meiling took the card and glanced at it casually before sneering.
“Well, you certainly came prepared.”
The name of the Lin Group was indeed printed on the card, and she had heard of the company before.
Although it might not compare with the Xiao family from earlier, it was still a fairly respectable company in Cloud City.
Even so, she was not so easy to fool.
How could she possibly believe him just because he produced a business card?
Seeing that she still did not believe him, Lin Ming remained completely calm and spoke with confidence.
“Auntie, if you still don’t believe me, you can look me up on your phone. My information and photographs should all be available online.”
“Fine. Since you said so, I’ll see how long you can keep pretending.”
As she spoke, Chen Meiling immediately took out her phone and began searching.
A moment later, she stared blankly at the information on the screen.
It was real!
It was actually true…
When had her daughter started dating such a wealthy young heir? Why had she never mentioned him?
Seeing this, Lin Ming smiled faintly.
“Auntie, do you believe me now? If you still don’t, I can take you to our group right now and show you around.”
At that, Chen Meiling lowered her phone and looked at Lin Ming.
“You… you really are Qingqing’s boyfriend?”
“Yes, Auntie. I am Qingqing’s boyfriend. The reason I never told you was that Qingqing wanted to keep it a secret. Isn’t that right, Qingqing?”
Lin Ming gazed at Han Qingqing with deep affection.
“Um, I… What he said is true. I was afraid you wouldn’t agree, so I didn’t tell you.”
Han Qingqing spoke softly.
At first, she had thought that this man was truly an actor hired by Brother Yifan. She had never expected him to actually be the heir to the Lin Group.
But even if Brother Yifan wanted to deceive her mother, why couldn’t he have acted as her shield himself?
Could it be that, in his heart, she really could only ever be his little sister?
Seeing that her daughter had admitted it, Chen Meiling immediately believed them. The stern expression on her face transformed into a radiant smile.
“Look at you, girl. You fell in love and didn’t even tell your mother. Otherwise, would I have been so anxious to find you a husband?”
Han Qingqing had not expected her mother’s expression to change so quickly, but she said nothing.
“Ahem…”
Just then, Su Yifan gave a few light coughs from the side.
