Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

"That\'s quite difficult to say."

"Alright. I\'ll take a step back and assume Jiang Xiu succeeds and achieves a lot, but can he match my Song family\'s children? Sister Lingran, have you heard about the Song Corporation? It\'s a huge tycoon in Shanghai with businesses in every field, such as real estate, hotels, insurance, appliances, and also owns a casino in Hong Kong."

Cheng Lingran\'s eyes grew wide, "Shanghai\'s Song family?" Isn\'t that Song Tian\'s family who is ranked in Forbes? The wealthiest person in Shanghai. So, he\'s actually from that Song family.

Song Ronghao continued, "The Song family\'s assets grow by 21% each year, if it were converted into money, it would be equivalent to 10 billion."

This was something.

Making a profit of 10 billion each year was too frightening.

Cheng Lingran was a bit stupefied after hearing this.

The Cheng family operated in Jiangnan, and her father had become renown in Jiang City after struggling for several years. He ranked among the top members of the provincial capital and had only assets totally worth a few billion, while the other side raked in the amount he had made in his entire life in just a year.

Song Ronghao said, "I believe our Song family\'s growth will only increase with the surge in our nation\'s economy."

"We will make several times what we laid as a foundation."

Cheng Lingran sent a distressed gaze towards Jiang Xiu and oh boy, this lad already had an utterly dumbstruck expression on his face. She cursed at this thing for failing at the critical moment. She kicked this idiot\'s leg ruthlessly from under the table.

Song Ronghao kept speaking, "I believe I\'m quite suitable for Susu with my family background. Sister Lingran must also wish for your little sister to gain more happiness after marriage, right?"

The meaning of these words was quite vicious and dealt a critical blow.

It Cheng Lingran continued pressing this matter, it would mean she was deliberately trying to ruin her little sister\'s happiness.

Cheng Lingran clenched her teeth and neared Jiang Xiu\'s ears, "Counterattack quickly."

"B-But…T-That…"

How could he counter? This was Shanghai\'s Song family.

Cheng Lingran\'s stomach churned in anger when she saw how poorly Jiang Xiu was doing. She sent him a vicious gaze as a warning to urge him to quickly counter or else she would inevitably settle scores with him.

Looking at Jiang Xiu\'s shocked and frightened appearance, Cheng Lingran, who sat opposite them, felt quite aggrieved. Her eyes turned red. If a man didn\'t fight back when someone was trying to steal his fiancée, it could only mean that this man just didn\'t care about this fiancée. She closed the book, "Sis!"

"I\'ve already made my decision regarding this matter. I want to be together with Ronghao. No matter whether you agree or whether Uncle Jiang and Aunt Lin agree, I\'ll persist on this."

"I will not get together with Jiang Xiu."

Though this was Jiang Xiu\'s own intention, he didn\'t feel pleased at all when Cheng Lingsu said these words in front of everyone. He even felt a little despondent, after all, he had arduously pursued this girl in his previous life.

He was precisely such a complicated person.

On the other hand, Song Ronghao was jubilant at this outcome. He gazed at Cheng Lingsu\'s beautiful face with emotions surging in his heart. He felt like he had the entire world with her at his side. He reached out to hold Cheng Lingsu\'s hand due to feeling emotional, yet she dodged it.

"Alright. Let\'s have lunch."

Cheng Lingran was left stupefied on the scene. Her little sister had always been more opinionated than her, but she had never seen her act determined. She could feel an extreme resistance from her little sister\'s heart which she had never felt before.

"Susu…"

The lunch session passed quite dully. No one was in the mood, and no one spoke a word. Cheng Lingran wished to say something but thought no matter what she said now, it would be useless. Jiang Xiu naturally didn\'t want for a hiccup to pop up when his wish had finally been fulfilled. Cheng Lingsu zoned into reading her book. Only one person had a happy meal, Song Ronghao. Perhaps, this meal was the happiest meal he had ever had in his life.

"Susu, how will explain this to our parents?"

When they had almost finished eating, Cheng Lingran took Susu to the washroom then questioned her.

"I\'ll call them and explain it to them."

Cheng Lingran was still unwilling to give up. As her little sister was about to leave the washroom, she grabbed her hand, "You and Little Xiu were childhood sweethearts. Don\'t you understand his feelings for you?"

"Lil\' Sis, don\'t get blinded by money. Even if you are pretty, only a handful of people in this society act sincerely with you. Little Xiu and our family have a history, and we all know his character. It\'s best for you to get together with him. He would never mistreat you."

Cheng Lingsu said, "Sis, even if you\'ve grown up together with someone since your childhood, it doesn\'t mean you understand them." I\'m not the one who can\'t see the truth. It\'s you, my sis. That person isn\'t the kind of person you think he is.

Cheng Lingran was about to say something, but she got interrupted by Cheng Lingsu, "Sis, don\'t say anything more. It\'s fine this way. I\'m quite tired."

Cheng Lingran discovered that her little sister\'s face indeed seemed dispirited and her eyes revealed indescribable grief. The Cheng Lingsu before Cheng Lingran appeared unfamiliar to her, but after seeing her little sister in such a state, she could only nod.

The party came to an end in such a way.

Cheng Lingran and Jiang Xiu returned to the Imperial University while Cheng Lingsu and Song Ronghao returned to the National University, both groups parting their ways. Jiang Xiu said to Cheng Lingran, "This Phoenix Pavilion\'s food is pretty good. I\'ll bring you here next time. They have the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish dipped in sweet n sour sauce which you like."

Cheng Lingran said resentfully, "Take care not to choke on a fishbone!"

Jiang Xiu smiled, "Wow. So vicious. Since was dumped, shouldn\'t you be feeling pity for me and consoling me?"

"This pitiful person has an unbearably hateful aspect to him."

"I don\'t like how you act."

Jiang Xiu wore a smile like before, "Do you feel like this with anyone else?"

Cheng Lingran shook her head.

Jiang Xiu laughed proudly, "That means you\'re in love with me, or else why would you treat me this way?"

Cheng Lingran berated, "Don\'t act shamelessly. What good are you? Looks like you\'ve forgotten what happened just now." Looking at his nitwitted manner, our Eldest Lady Cheng decided to firmly provoke him.

Jiang Xiu, however, still kept smiling, "Even radish and cabbage can love each other. Who knows, maybe you love this mouth of mine!"

Cheng Lingran was defeated under this guy\'s shamelessness, "How did you become so narcissistic?"

They were waiting for the bus, while the other side left in the Lamborghini. According to reason, they should\'ve dropped off Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingran at the Imperial University, but the car had only two seats.

Cheng Lingsu remained silent as the car passed through the streets. She saw the crossing ahead of her then said, "Can you drop me off over there?"

"You aren\'t returning to the university?"

"I want to cool my head for a bit."

Song Ronghao planned to say something but swallowed them back again. He knew Cheng Lingsu could be feeling pressured right now, so he stopped the car.

Cheng Lingsu opened the car down and got down. She didn\'t even say goodbye to Song Ronghao and crossed over to the sidewalk. For some reason, tears kept falling from her eyes.

She took out her cell phone and called her home, "Dad!"

"Susu, are you living well at the Imperial Capital?"

Cheng Lingsu had used the million she got from Jiang Xiu to buy a decent house so the Cheng couple could have a temporary place to live in, "Dad, I got a boyfriend."

Cheng Hanlin was stupefied, and so was Sun Xiaohong. She rushed to speak, "Susu, what are you doing? You are engaged to Jiang Xiu."

"You can\'t do it. He\'s Mr. Jiang."

"Will he allow you to do this?"

"You are playing with fire."

Cheng Lingsu said, "We had lunch with Sis today, he didn\'t oppose it." In fact, Jiang Xiu was the one who told her to get a boyfriend.

"It still won\'t do. We owe the Jiang family." Sun Xiaohong replied.

Their later life\'s happiness depended on the matrimony between her youngest daughter and Jiang Xiu.

"Mom, he\'s called Song Ronghao. He\'s from the richest family of Shanghai, the Song family…"

"Aaah?"

Sun Xiaohong\'s voice immediately turned happy, "Shanghai\'s Song family? Isn\'t that Song Tian\'s family?"

"Yes!"

"If Jiang Xiu isn\'t going to oppose it, it\'s fine then…" After hearing it was the Song family, she had thrown away the part about owing the Jiang family part far away from her mind.

"It\'s decided then!" Tears kept falling from Cheng Lingsu\'s eyes. She didn\'t know why.

"Did you tell it to the Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling?" Cheng Hanlin asked her.

"I\'ll call Aunt Lin now…"
