Super War God in the City

Su Qiong knocked on the door, but there was no answer!

"Maybe they're not home because something came up!" Su Qiong muttered, taking out the keys to unlock the door.

Her father was a minor civil servant, and her mother worked as a clerk in a small company, often working overtime. Therefore, Su Qiong always had a spare key.

Once Ling Fan entered the apartment, a ninety-square-meter, three-bedroom, one-living-room setup, everything was tidily organized.

"Make yourself at home. I'm going to call and ask. It's Grandpa's big birthday tomorrow. They shouldn't be away!" Su Qiong muttered and hurriedly called her mom.

"Mom, where are you? Are you coming back today?" Su Qiong asked.

"You're home, right? Your dad and I are at your grandpa's place, helping out. We won't be returning tonight; just come directly to Phoenix Tower tomorrow morning and don't be late!" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I got it. Don't overwork yourselves!" Su Qiong cautioned before hanging up.

"They won't be back today. If you don't mind, you can stay here for the night!" Su Qiong said, her cheeks blushing.

Thinking of the scenario of a man and a woman alone together, her heart couldn't help but flutter, as usually, something would happen in such situations on TV!

Ling Fan smiled, "Why would I mind? I can just sleep on the living room sofa!"

"We have a spare room. You can rest in my dad's study, but if you don't mind, I'll sleep in my parents' room, and you can sleep in my bedroom!" whispered Su Qiong, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She didn't know why she had blurted that out, but she felt it wasn't polite to have Ling Fan sleep in the study. She had previously contemplated sleeping in the study herself and letting Ling Fan use her bedroom.

Hearing this, Ling Fan took a deep breath. The thought of sleeping in Su Qiong's bedroom in such a big house felt somehow strange.

He immediately shook his head, "Hehe, no need. I still have to cultivate tonight. It's all the same wherever I am; I won't be able to sleep anyway. Don't worry about me; I'll just stay in the living room!"

Seeing this, Su Qiong felt it awkward to insist, so she nodded, "That's fine, or you can go to the study!"

Meanwhile, in a five-star hotel.

"Dad, about that marriage arrangement with the Su Family, can we cancel it? I don't want to be engaged to Su Qiong anymore!" Leng Chuan stood before a stern middle-aged man, hesitantly speaking.

Upon hearing this, the man's complexion suddenly changed drastically, "You rascal, what did you say? Did you meet that girl today, and you didn't like her?"

Leng Chuan laughed awkwardly, "Dad, I did meet her, and I quite liked her, but..."

"But what? You should know that this marriage is arranged by your uncle's family. Given our status in the Leng Family, to be allied with the Su Family is already quite good. Do you realize the consequences if we were to call off the engagement ourselves?" The man looked at his son, his disappointment apparent.

He was Leng Kaicheng, ranked third in the Leng Family. Of the three branches, it was his son who was the least competitive, spending his days idly betting on fights and running after dogs.

Therefore, in the Capital Circle, those renowned large families were unwilling to marry their daughters to his son, while he deemed those from lesser families unworthy.

Only the Su Family, though not part of the Capital Circle, was also considered first-rate in Huaxia.

If it were not for Su Qiong being somewhat neglected in the Su Family, and without his sister-in-law Su Ting meddling, this marriage prospect likely wouldn't have involved Leng Kaicheng's family!

If this marriage proposal were to fall through, not only would Leng Kaicheng struggle to lift his head high within the Leng Family, but he would also become the laughing stock of the Capital Circle, and the shame would greatly affect the Leng family as a whole, rendering his branch nearly defunct.

Putting aside other matters, just think about the example set by the Long family, and you'll get the picture. Back then, Long Yun's wife merely mentioned the younger daughter of the Su Family unintentionally.

In the end, because the marriage arrangement fell through, it damaged the Long family's face and, in their anger, left her with such a fate, almost ousted from the Long family.

Thinking about this, Leng Kaicheng's heart shuddered. Could it be that his Leng family was going to repeat the same mistake? Was the Su family really that sabotaging?

"You little rascal, clarify this matter to me today, what exactly is going on?" Leng Kaicheng suddenly felt an unease in his heart.

"Dad, Su Qiong already has a boyfriend. Maybe we shouldn't be breaking up lovers," Leng Chuan said sheepishly, not elaborating much on Ling Fan's involvement, mainly because he was too scared to speak recklessly.

Because, even if he did tell, his father might not believe him. Going furiously to settle scores might anger that formidable force, just bringing more bad luck.

He had truly experienced what that madman was capable of; not long ago, he had beaten Su Zixuan from the Su family so badly he resembled a bloodied gourd.

Upon hearing this, Leng Kaicheng's expression suddenly changed fiercely. "She has a boyfriend? You don't need to worry about this anymore. It's for the Su family to explain to us, but we definitely must not be the ones to bring it up. Understand?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Chuan opened his mouth to speak but then stopped. In families like theirs, he knew anything he said would be futile. Speaking further would just make him seem incompetent.

Being criticized for boosting others' morale and undermining his own prestige, he simply sighed in his heart, shut his mouth, and reminded them of what he could. He somewhat hoped that the Leng family could handle Ling Fan.

After sending his son away, Leng Kaicheng still felt uneasy and immediately called home!

Ling Fan spent a quiet night at Su Qiong's place, and the next morning, they took a taxi directly to the venue of Grandpa Su's birthday banquet: Phoenix Tower!

Phoenix Tower is one of the Su family's properties in Jincheng and also a landmark of the city. At this moment, the hall of Phoenix Tower was brightly decorated with lights and a lavish banquet set up.

At this time, many members of the Su family were already seated at the event, consisting of various extended relatives arranged according to their seniority. Su Qiong's parents were sitting at the very end, which made them seem somewhat isolated compared to the lively atmosphere around them.

Outside Phoenix Tower, Ling Fan and Su Qiong got out of the taxi and headed straight for the hall. The welcoming servants recognized Su Qiong.

Seeing her accompanied by an unfamiliar young man made them curious, but they didn't say much, just greeted and let them pass.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, this time you're forming ties with the Leng family, you must seize the opportunity. You've talked to that girl Su Qiong, right?

Don't let history repeat itself like back then!" Su Ting said with a smile.

She had been the mediator in arranging this marriage, so she was particularly concerned. However, following her, Leng Yan had a worried look on her face.

Yesterday she had followed Leng Chuan out but didn't manage to learn anything; all he did was slightly shake his head, indicating the severity of the issue, which left her incredibly anxious.

The two who were reminded were none other than Su Qiong's parents, Su Wenfu and Yu Nianrou.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but feel alarmed. The events of the past were still vivid in their minds and were always before their eyes. Because they were involved, they had been ostracized by the Su family for many years.

Despite this, the couple lived their lives with few regrets.

"Dad, Mom!" As soon as Su Qiong entered with Ling Fan, she spotted her parents sitting at the end and immediately called out to them.

Upon hearing her, the people in the hall turned their attention toward them because Su Qiong was also one of the main figures of today's event. But when they saw the young man next to Su Qiong, their expressions changed.

"What's going on? Is Su Qiong planning to follow in Su Wei's footsteps? Walking down the same dark path, making the same old mistakes?" Some members of the Su family murmured to themselves.
