C51 Chung Yu Who Was Instantly Terrified
"Expecting Little Cheng to just roll over and leave?"
"Miss Su, you certainly don't mince words!"
"Little Cheng is the Sun family's esteemed son-in-law. With all due respect, what authority does your Su family have to command the progeny of the Chung family, who are among the capital's seven illustrious families?"
Sun Xiangnan, who had remained quiet until now, could no longer contain his frustration at Su Qingyin's audacity.
He lost his patience and openly chastised her.
Regrettably, as soon as he spoke, Chung Yu, standing next to him, stole a glance at Su Qingyin. His plump body instantly shivered.
"Qingyin, I'm... I'm feeling a bit peckish. I could really go for some pig's knuckle..."
Chung Yu gulped down his saliva, then, disregarding the astonished looks around him, seized an enormous pig's knuckle from the table and made a beeline for the exit.
"Hold it right there, did I say you could leave?"
Su Qingyin watched Chung Yu with a composed gaze and spoke in an even tone.
Her single sentence was enough to bring Chung Yu's rotund figure to an abrupt stop.
He spun around, his face twisted in distress, and pleaded with Su Qingyin, "Qingyin, I... can't I just admit my mistake?"
"You're generous to a fault. Just let me off the hook, no, let your brother off the hook, and I swear I'll never pick on him again."
"I promise, I won't ever harass the kid again."
Chung Yu felt as if he were in a dream. Su Qingyin was doing just fine, so why on earth had she suddenly shown up in A City like him?
And to top it off, she'd acknowledged a Brother Lin Chen?
"What's the matter, you've changed your mind about marrying Qing'er?"
Su Qingyin strolled up to Chung Yu, seized his ear, and demanded in a frosty tone.
The Sun family and others present might be aware that both the Cheng and Su families are among the capital's seven great families.
But what they didn't realize was that the relationship between the two families was more than cordial.
Chung Yu had been on the receiving end of Su Qingyin's torment since childhood!
"Qingyin, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
"I... I won't marry her, is that not enough?"
Chung Yu, ear in her grip, cried out in pain while casting a woeful look at Su Qingyin.
"Chung Yu, don't you dare sulk."
"If you dare to take on Brother Chen, I assure you, you'll be leaving this place on a stretcher today!"
Su Qingyin cast a casual glance at Chung Yu, offering a kind-hearted warning.
She was the foremost authority on Lin Chen's cunning ways.
Throughout the whole ordeal, this guy hadn't shown a hint of fear. Just from that, it was clear he didn't regard the Sun family with any importance, and Chung Yu was no exception.
"Qingyin, you might bully my people, but don't you dare underestimate my strength!"
"That guy's skinny as a rail. What makes you think I can't take him down?"
Chung Yu bristled at Su Qingyin's words.
"It's because he's duped me plenty of times!"
Su Qingyin shot Chung Yu a fierce glare, her tone laced with irritation.
Her concern was that this kid might seek out Lin Chen and stir up trouble, hence the warning.
But to her surprise, Chung Yu only grew more agitated.
"He's... tricked you multiple times?"
Chung Yu's eyes bulged with incredulity at her admission.
Who was Su Qingyin?
Within the elite circles of the capital's young nobility, she was renowned for her intelligence and bravery!
She was always the one laying traps, never the one ensnared by them.
Yet now, she was openly acknowledging that Lin Chen had fooled her repeatedly?
Did this not suggest that Lin Chen was even more formidable than Qingyin herself?
"Damn, I was nearly conned by that sly old man."
"Thank goodness Qingyin stepped in with a timely reminder, or I would've been in deep trouble today."
Chung Yu touched his nose and approached Lin Chen.
"Hey, Lin Chen, right?"
"Could you help me pull one over on Qingyin again?"
"If you pull it off, you're my big brother from here on out!"
Chung Yu clutched Lin Chen's arm, his excitement palpable.
He had forgotten all about Qing'er; his sole focus was on getting Lin Chen to help him get even.
Having been tormented by Su Qingyin since childhood, he harbored a touch of resentment.
"A billion!"
"If you can cough up that kind of cash, not only will I help you with one prank, but a whole billion if need be!"
Lin Chen felt the strength in Chung Yu's grip and arched an eyebrow.
With a slight flex of his arm, he sent Chung Yu reeling.
Had it not been for Su Qingyin's sake, Chung Yu's earlier arrogance would have earned him a couple of kicks at the very least.
"Hiss!"
"You... actually managed to shake me off?"
Chung Yu stumbled backward, his eyes wide with astonishment as he stared at Lin Chen.
He hadn't exerted his full strength before, but he had put in a good half of his effort.
And yet, Lin Chen had effortlessly sent him reeling. What did that imply?
It confirmed that everything Qingyin had said was true!
This guy wasn't just frighteningly powerful; he was also incredibly sly!
All he did was lend Qingyin a hand, and he was already demanding a billion yuan?
"If you're fine, then step aside."
"Just looking at your pudgy figure makes my stomach churn."
Lin Chen said with a look of distaste, pushing Chung Yu away.
"Lin Chen, that's a bit harsh."
"If I could control being fat, I wouldn't choose to be this way..."
Chung Yu responded, his voice tinged with hurt.
His mindset was straightforward. Since Qingyin called Lin Chen 'big brother,' they were all one big family.
"You don't want to be like this?"
"Fatty, are you saying you want to slim down, get handsome, and become suave and debonair?"
Lin Chen's eyes sparkled with excitement as he eagerly rubbed his hands together.
After swindling five hundred million yuan from Lee Chen the day before, Lin Chen's interest in scions of wealthy families had only grown.
It was inevitable; they were loaded and so easy to dupe.
"Getting lean and handsome is every fat person's dream, alright?"
"Sadly, my body seems to gain weight even from drinking water."
Chung Yu shook his head, a trace of complaint in his gaze.
He was convinced that Lin Chen, just like Qingyin, was only saying this to ridicule him.
"Big guy, if I have a way to fix your obesity problem."
"And I can ensure you'll never gain it back, how will you repay me?"
Lin Chen asked with a sly grin, casually slinging an arm over Chung Yu's shoulder.
"Lin Chen, no, Big Brother Lin, if you can truly transform me into that kind of ultra-handsome, skinny guy."
"Then I'll be ready to brave any danger for you, no questions asked."
Chung Yu glanced at Su Qingyin, and seeing her silent, his excitement surged.
He trusted that if the whole world were against him, Su Qingyin would never be one of them.
So, as long as Su Qingyin remained silent, it naturally indicated that Lin Chen's words were true.
"I only have eyes for cash flow, get it?"
"Cash... ability? Brother Lin, I get it, I really do. Just turn me from a living large to a dead skinny, and all my wealth is yours!"
Chung Yu didn't hesitate to agree.
The crowd, including the Suns and the other guests, watched Lin Chen and Chung Yu quickly become as close as brothers.
Their faces were somewhat wooden.
Hadn't things escalated a bit too fast?
Just minutes before, Chung Yu was ready to side with Old Master Sun to take down Lin Chen and his wife.
But now, here they were, calling each other brother. Had they not witnessed it themselves, they would never have believed it, not even under threat of death.
Lin Chen, once seen as insignificant by the Suns, now had such connections with the daughter of the Su family and the young master of the Chung family!
"Listen up, big guy, if you want me to handle this hefty task, it's not just about the cash."
"Now, there's something else you've got to do for me."
Lin Chen clapped Chung Yu on the shoulder, then turned to the Sun family with a mischievous glance.
They thought they could use Chung Yu to get the upper hand on him?
Well, it was time to give them a taste of their own medicine.
