Chapter 1493: Chapter 1492 Lin Tiance: Have I been cuckolded?

Lin Tiance approached Qiao Xue and, with impeccable politeness, addressed her and Chu Yunxiu:

”Xiaoxue, Aunt Chu, you’ve arrived.”

Chu Yunxiu looked at Lin Tiance, her face blooming with a smile. Having such a prospective son-in-law truly brought great honor to her.

Qiao Xue also smiled and nodded: ”Tian Ce, it’s been a long time.”

”Yes, it has been a long time.” Although he and Qiao Xue were engaged, they hadn’t seen each other for about four months. This was also his first time seeing Qiao Xue after emerging from seclusion.

He couldn’t help but marvel at Qiao Xue’s natural beauty. Even among the belles of the Capital City, she was a standout presence.

At this banquet, the only one who could match her was her sister, Qiao Bing.

Even Li Yanran and Cao Jianjia, two of the famed beauties of the Capital City, fell short of these sisters in terms of beauty.

”Xiaoxue, this way, please.” Lin Tiance led Qiao Xue to the center of the evening banquet.

At that moment, Chu Yunxiu also noticed Lin Dong and asked with surprise, ”Eh, Lin Dong, how come you’re here?”

She was yet unaware of Lin Tiance’s invitation to Lin Dong and his attendance at the banquet.

Seeing Chu Yunxiu’s confusion, Lin Tiance explained himself: ”Aunt Chu, I invited him.”

”I know he is Xiaoxue’s younger sister’s boyfriend, and I thought since we will be relatives in the future, I might as well invite him and Xiaoxue’s younger sister to my evening banquet.”

Hearing his explanation, Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but express her appreciation: ”Tian Ce, you really are thoughtful.”

”You show great respect for our family. Tian Ce, I’m truly touched. Auntie is so happy.”

She indeed felt ecstatic. With Lin Tiance showing them such ’respect’, Chu Yunxiu’s good days were surely on the horizon.

Lin Tiance nodded and then invited Qiao Xue to the center stage, adding: ”Xiaoxue, later on, I have a surprise for you.”

Hearing Lin Tiance speak of a surprise, Qiao Xue was somewhat expectant, curious about what this surprise could be.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunxiu approached Lin Dong and Qiao Bing.

Her attitude toward Lin Dong was no longer as hostile as before, and she even spoke to him earnestly:

”Lin Dong, you must seize this opportunity.”

Lin Dong, puzzled, asked, ”What opportunity should I seize?”

”Are you dense? Of course, it’s the opportunity Tian Ce is offering. The fact that he has invited you to his banquet out of respect for us shows he genuinely considers you as part of the family. Just think, with Tian Ce as your brother-in-law, won’t you have the run of the Capital City?”

”So, you must seize this opportunity and build a good relationship with Tian Ce. As long as you’re on good terms with him, you can soar to great heights.”

”I’m telling you this for my daughter Little Bing’s sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother with you.”

Hearing this from Chu Yunxiu, Lin Dong laughed.

He said, ”Aunt Chu, the idea that I should ingratiate myself with Lin Tiance is simply laughable. He’s not worth my efforts to please.”

Chu Yunxiu’s face fell again, ”So this is why I have always been reluctant to accept you. Do you think that with a little medical skill, you can be proudly self-assured?”

”Do you believe that the small achievements you’ve made now are impressive?”

”Let me tell you, they’re worth nothing. In front of a wealthy family like the Lin Family from the Capital City, your so-called achievements are worthless.”

Lin Dong didn’t bother to argue and said indifferently, ”In this world, the person I should please and flatter hasn’t been born yet. You should ask Lin Tiance himself whether he thinks he’s worthy or not.”

Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes, ”I can’t be bothered to talk with you any longer; you’re so single-minded. If it weren’t for my daughter Little Bing being set on you, even if you were the number one in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I wouldn’t let her marry you.”

”With a character like yours, you will never achieve much. Compared to Tian Ce, you’re far behind.”

With that, she no longer wished to speak with Lin Dong and walked towards Lin Tiance and Qiao Xue.

The conversation between the two was overheard by Cao Jianjia, who was standing nearby.

She thought to herself, ”What’s with the mother of the Lord Long’s wife? Her mind seems a little off.”

She actually suggested that Lord Long should curry favor with Lin Tiance. Does Lin Tiance even deserve that?

Chu Yunxiu approached Lin Tiance and Qiao Xue and suddenly, her eyes shifted as she took something out and said to Lin Tiance,

”Tiance, I’m so happy you invited aunty to your Evening Banquet. Here, let me give you a gift.”

When Lin Tiance heard Chu Yunxiu wanted to give him a gift, he revealed a gentlemanly smile.

”Aunty, you’re too kind.”

Chu Yunxiu smiled and retrieved a Jade pendant. This Jade pendant was initially given to Little Bing by Lin Dong, who in turn gave it to her.

As she took out the Jade pendant, Lin Tiance’s eyes instantly brightened. He noticed that it was inscribed with a Peace Amulet.

This was truly a precious thing!

Even in his eyes, it was considered a precious item.

”Aunty, you actually have such a nice thing,” Lin Tiance couldn’t help but say.

At the same time, he also noticed that Qiao Xue was wearing a similar Jade pendant around her neck.

Could it be the heirloom of their family?

Chu Yunxiu sighed inwardly, ”Lin Dong, Lin Dong, although I don’t acknowledge you, and one could even say I somewhat dislike you. But for Little Bing’s sake, I’ll still help you out.”

The reason she wanted to give the Jade pendant to Lin Tiance was with this consideration in mind.

In her opinion, Lin Dong’s unwillingness to ingratiate himself or curry favor with Lin Tiance was simply due to pride.

So she thought she might as well take the Jade pendant given by Lin Dong and extend this favor on his behalf.

She directly spoke, ”This Jade pendant was crafted by my younger daughter’s boyfriend, Lin Dong. With a bit of talent in Traditional Chinese Medicine, he’s somewhat arrogant because of his abilities. Tiance, don’t take it to heart and, if you can, look after him a bit in the future.”

Hearing this, Lin Tiance’s expression fell completely.

At the moment, a nameless anger rose within him.

This anger, naturally, was not because Chu Yunxiu asked him to look after Lin Dong.

It was because Qiao Xue, his fiancee, was wearing this Jade pendant around her neck!

Qiao Xue, she was his fiancée.

Yet around her neck, she was wearing a Jade pendant given by Lin Dong?

At the moment, he looked at the Jade pendant around Qiao Xue’s neck, which was emitting a strong green light.

That moment, he felt the color on top of his head was even greener than the light from the Jade pendant.

”Qiao Xue, what do you think of Lin Dong?” Lin Tiance asked seemingly casually but with an underlying intention.

Qiao Xue evidently shared the same thoughts as her mother, Chu Yunxiu; she naturally hoped that her little sister’s boyfriend would receive Lin Tiance’s care in the future.

So, she said with a smile, ”Lin Dong, he’s quite good, a very outstanding man.”

Lin Tiance’s expression became even uglier.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunxiu was still there, smiling and saying, ”Tiance, do you see how good the quality of this Jade is? The light it emits turns your face and head green.”

”Only top-quality beautiful Jade can achieve such an effect.”

Lin Tiance was so angry he almost spat blood, but through the reflection of the Jade, he really did see a layer of green light on his head and face.

He really had a head full of green light!
