Return to the City: The Strongest King

Chu Yuanqing was startled by his father, also feeling a bit uneasy, and hurriedly said, "Dad, who is this Lin Yuan?"

Chu Zixiong yelled angrily, "How many Lin Yuans are there in Pingqing City? Who else besides that one worth over a billion?"

"Ah? It's actually him? No way, no way!" Chu Yuanqing hurriedly shouted, "It absolutely can't be him. He was very respectful to a man just now. The Lin Yuan you mentioned is a famous big boss in Pingqing City. How could someone like that be so polite to a young person and even personally drive for him?"

"What?" Chu Zixiong, hearing this, was also a bit skeptical. After all, Lin Yuan is a very common name. There might be many people with this name in Pingqing City. Moreover, it's not impossible for someone to pretend to be Lin Yuan. He quickly said, "Tell me exactly what happened from start to finish."

Chu Yuanqing hurriedly recounted the entire incident and then particularly added, "Dad, that Qi Lanqin, I've investigated her long ago. Her parents passed away early, and she's been an orphan all along. She often goes out to work and absolutely can't have any background."

Chu Zixiong frowned after hearing this. According to Chu Yuanqing, that Lin Yuan didn't seem genuine. After all, considering Lin Yuan's status, there's no young person in Pingqing who would warrant Lin Yuan personally fetching them and even driving for them.

However, he still felt unsure internally, saying, "I'll make a call to check."

Chu Zixiong dialed Dragon Six's mobile number, and after two rings, the call was connected. Chu Zixiong hurriedly said, "Hello, CEO Lin, this is Chu Zixiong."

"Hmm, I know." Lin Yuan said indifferently.

Feeling a hint of coldness in Lin Yuan's tone, Chu Zixiong suddenly felt a bit flustered and said, "CEO Lin, I was wondering if we could have a cup of tea together if you have time."

"Chu Zixiong, go home and discipline your son. If he dares to harass Miss Qi Lanqin again, don't blame me for being unkind to you."

After saying this, Lin Yuan directly hung up the phone.

Chu Zixiong was left holding the phone, completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that it was truly Lin Yuan who had hit his son.

And from Lin Yuan's tone just now, he could hear another layer of meaning. Lin Yuan addressed Qi Lanqin as Miss, which was clearly not a derogatory term but a respectful one. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

The fact that Lin Yuan personally drove to pick her up and used such a respectful title for her spoke volumes about Qi Lanqin's status.

Chu Zixiong hurriedly called Chu Yuanqing back. Chu Yuanqing came in with a swollen face, angrily asking, "Dad, did you find that bastard?"

Chu Zixiong raised his hand and slapped Chu Yuanqing, scolding angrily, "You little bastard, you just had to stir up trouble. Do you know what a big mess you've made this time?"

"Ah? Dad, why did you hit me?" Chu Yuanqing was completely stunned by the slap.

"I warn you, don't you ever harass Qi Lanqin again, and stay far away from her when you see her."

Chu Yuanqing still hadn't grasped the reality, covering his face angrily, "Why? Isn't she just a poor girl?"

"Poor girl?" Chu Zixiong's face turned green with anger, scolding, "Do you think a poor girl could ride in Lin Yuan's car? Could a poor girl have Lin Yuan personally pick her up? Even if she was once a poor girl, she's climbed a high branch now, and she's beyond your reach."

"Ah?" Chu Yuanqing's face suddenly turned very unpleasant.

"You idiot, do you know Lin Yuan is very angry? Our company does a lot of business with his. If he stops working with us, our company will lose half of its business. You're really driving me mad."

"No way? Would Lin Yuan really go to such lengths over a woman?"

"I hope not, but judging from Lin Yuan's attitude, he's very angry. Ah, quickly find a chance to apologize to Qi Lanqin and promise never to bother her again. If she encounters any trouble at school, you must help her."

"Don't take this lightly. If you can't manage it, I won't give you any pocket money in the future."

Nothing was more effective than this threat. Chu Yuanqing's expression changed instantly, quickly saying, "I know, I know."

While Chu Zixiong was in a frantic mess, Song Xiaodong on the other side regarded it as a trivial matter.

Lin Yuan, while driving, said, "Young Master, should I deal with the company of Chu Yuanqing's family to teach them a lesson?"

Qi Lanqin opened her mouth to speak, glancing at Song Xiaodong. Xiaodong, knowing Qi Lanqin's soft-hearted nature, gently squeezed her hand and said, "A little scare is good to prevent them from bothering Lanqin again."

"Alright." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Lanqin, do you think I'm interfering with your normal school relationships?" Song Xiaodong turned and asked Qi Lanqin softly again.

Qi Lanqin felt very sweet inside. Song Xiaodong's words showed enough respect for her. She softly replied, "No, I know you're looking out for me."

Song Xiaodong earnestly said, "If I care too much, I'm afraid you'll feel constrained and unhappy."

"I understand, and I don't like people clinging to me. As long as I can study quietly, I'm happy."

Song Xiaodong nodded, saying, "I can assure you of that. As long as your socializing with classmates is normal, I won't interfere."

Qi Lanqin playfully blinked at Song Xiaodong, saying, "You know, there are boys among my classmates too."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, saying, "I'm not so petty as to forbid normal interactions between boys and girls. Otherwise, I would be too domineering, and you'd end up hating me, which I don't want."

Qi Lanqin smiled happily with her lips pursed and said, "I know how to keep things appropriate, and I won't let others misunderstand."

Song Xiaodong squeezed Qi Lanqin's small hand again, saying gently, "Lanqin, seeing you happy makes me happy too."

By the time they arrived at the hotel, Dragon Six said, "Young Master, Princess Lanqin, here's your room card. I won't disturb your rest any further."

Song Xiaodong took the room card and said, "You go ahead with your own tasks."

Both of them got out of the car directly. Qi Lanqin felt a bit nervous and shy inside because she clearly saw that the room card given to Song Xiaodong by Dragon Nine was indeed a single room card, which meant she was going to share a room with Song Xiaodong that night.
