Leng Chuan's reaction, like a sudden thunderclap, nearly shattered the consciousness of everyone present. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

"Young Master Leng... chickened out?" someone suddenly stammered, their gaze going blank as they murmured.

Leng Yan, Su Ruoxuan, and the other younger members of the Su family all gaped in disbelief at Leng Chuan. Did this guy just turn coward with such crisp efficiency?

Su Ziming was utterly baffled. Previously, he felt extremely humiliated in front of Ling Fan, as if he couldn't save his own face.

But now, seeing Leng Chuan's demeanor, wasn't it ten or a hundred times more embarrassing than his own?

However, looking at Leng Chuan's expression, he seemed not to feel particularly ashamed or annoyed. What the hell was this guy up to?

Even Su Zixuan was utterly baffled. Leng Chuan was being too much of a coward, so much so that even he, as a bystander, felt he couldn't hold his head high.

Even several key figures of the Su family were caught off guard by this scene, their minds unable to process it.

Leng Chuan completely ignored the odd looks from everyone and thought to himself, "Damn it, you guys don't understand a thing, and you still have the nerve to mock me? Just now, Su Wenwu was utterly humiliated. Don't you all have a clue?"

"Young Master Ling, this has nothing to do with my Leng family, at least definitely nothing to do with me. Please, don't be angry!" Leng Chuan, seeing Ling Fan's silence, couldn't help but add.

Leng Kaicheng's face immediately turned the color of liver, utterly humiliated by this disgraceful young man's actions. If this scuttlebutt reached the Leng family, it would definitely turn into the ridicule of the family and their circles.

"Shut up. Damn it, how did I end up having such a stupid son? This is utterly absurd!" Leng Kaicheng couldn't help but shout angrily.

In front of the entire Su family, he hadn't expected his son to turn out so cowardly. He was so ashamed he wished he could just find a hole to crawl into!

Leng Chuan was scolded by his father and felt damn wronged inside. These people had no idea how terrifying Young Master Ling was!

If you understood Ling Fan, I'd like to see if you'd dare to act so arrogantly. Thinking this, he couldn't help but say to Leng Kaicheng, "Dad, you don't understand. I think that's enough. Why bother..."

"Slap!"

Leng Kaicheng couldn't listen anymore and slapped Leng Chuan right across the face.

Ling Fan watched the scene unfold before him, completely unmoved. Leng Chuan, this kid, was at least more sensible than his father and the rest of the Su family.

After a brief contemplation, looking at Leng Chuan, who was slapped to the ground, his cheek swelling, he said lightly, "You're at least sensible. I won't hold today's events against you."

The moment Leng Chuan, who had been slapped to the ground and was somewhat dazed, heard Ling Fan's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the pain in his swollen face, and repeatedly thanked, "Thank you, Young Master Ling, thank you!"

Leng Kaicheng, seeing his son's cowardly appearance, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Su Jingguo stood by, briefly stunned, then thought mockingly, "Your own son is such a coward, and you still have the face to demand explanations from me?"

Meanwhile, his gaze towards Ling Fan was filled with incredulity. What in the world had this young man done to Leng Kaicheng's son that had made him act as meek as a mouse in the presence of a cat?

Su Ruoxuan, standing nearby, her eyes sparkling, began to take an interest in Ling Fan.

"Damn it, boy, don't get cocky, thinking my Leng family is easy to bully!

Did you use some despicable means, got hold of my son's weakness? Don't think I won't have you buried without a place to die!" Leng Kaicheng racked his brain and couldn't figure out what means this young man had used to intimidate his son.

The people around, hearing this, were startled and exchanged bewildered glances.

"So this lad has used some dishonorable means to trap Young Master Leng. I knew it! With the Leng family being one of Imperial Capital's top three families, how could he have become so cowardly? There must be something fishy!" The onlookers suddenly began to discuss fervently.

"But then again, anyone who can threaten the Third Young Master Leng can be proud of himself. Try threatening him and see!" another chimed in playfully.

"Haha, I do not have the courage to seek death in such a way—over a woman, no less, indeed a man of great passion, daring to confront even the Leng family.

No, actually daring to confront the Su Family directly, and offending the Canglong Army, is just madness. Watch, he won't even know how he dies!" sneered someone nearby.

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was stretched to breaking point, a voice suddenly came from outside, greeting and congratulating, "The Danyang Ge Family has come to offer congratulations!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd in the hall instantly fell silent.

The guests had already begun to arrive, but with the situation as it was, could the birthday celebration still go on?

Su Wenchang's expression changed, and he unconsciously looked towards the old man.

After all, Su Jingguo had weathered great storms and quickly calmed himself, then immediately instructed, "Wenchang, go and attend to the guests. Do not neglect them!"

"Yes!" Su Wenchang hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded and went to meet the guests outside.

After Su Jingguo finished speaking, he turned to look at Leng Kaicheng, "There's no need to discuss our families right now. Let's attend to the guests first, and talk later!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Kaicheng glanced at Ling Fan, snorted softly, and complied; no matter the conflict, it would not be proper to disrupt Su Jingguo's birthday celebration. The matter of Leng Chuan and Su Qiong could wait a little longer!

Su Jingguo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Fan with a complex gaze, warning, "If anyone insists on disrupting today's event, my Su Family is ready to see it through to the end!"

Ling Fan said nothing, standing beside Su Wenfu and his wife with Su Qiong.

No one had expected that this young man could make Su Jingguo lose his temper, causing the old man to temporarily hold his breath!

Su Ting's gaze was ambiguous and somewhat understanding of the old man's actions. Currently unable to control this fellow, she could only allow the full room of guests to witness the joke later.

Su Jingguo felt stifled; he had lived a long life and had never felt as suffocated as he did today. Unfortunately, this young man was so adept, even Su Wenwu couldn't compete with him.

At that moment, Su Wenchang, with a forced smile, led the people of the Ge family into the hall. Su Wenchang's mind was also puzzled; the Ge Family was one of Danyang's most influential families.

In terms of status, they were comparable to the Su Family, perhaps even surpassing it, but the two families were distantly located and had never interacted before.

Unsure of which family branch had formed the connection, he couldn't help but feel a tad envious. Once the old man met them, he would surely be pleased, and inevitably commend them afterward!

Su Jingguo composed his fluctuating emotions, also somewhat surprised. The Su Family had never interacted with the Ge Family, but unexpectedly, they had come specially today to offer birthday congratulations. He looked around at the descendants of the Su Family, his heart greatly comforted.

Ling Fan glanced at the newcomers and raised an eyebrow, puzzled; the one who had entered was none other than Ge Chusheng.

"Does this guy have some involvement with the Su Family?" Ling Fan muttered to himself.

Seeing Ge Chusheng walking in all smiles, who had received the news two days earlier and whose status in the Ge Family had steadily increased after the previous incident, he was representing the Ge Family today to flatter Ling Fan.

This excited him tremendously. The moment he saw Ling Fan standing nearby, his heart jolted, and his attitude became even more respectful.

He had heard that the Su Family was the family of Ling Fan's mother. This rumor had been spread by Xiao Chubing, and all the forces and families that Ling Fan had won over were aware of it.

Xiao Chubing did not know the detailed intricacies of Ling Fan's relationship with the Su Family; she simply wanted to help Ling Fan out.

Aside from contributing a filial duty on behalf of Ling Fan, her main intent was also to help him gain some respect, to prevent him from being disrespected on his first visit!

"Haha, you need not be so courteous, Head of the Su Family. If your nephew saw this, I'd be embarrassed to accept such respect!" Ge Chusheng said with a terrified expression.

"Nephew?" Su Wenchang was momentarily stunned.

Then, turning to look at Su Ting, he realized, speaking of the nephew, it must refer to her son, Leng Yuan. He hadn't come today because he was occupied, no wonder the Ge Family was here—it was for the face of this nephew. Thoughtful indeed.
