Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Has Miss Rong Heard of the Chu Family?

“No worries, if you didn’t get upset, I’d start to doubt whether or not Shengxiao’s feelings were worth all the effort he put in for you.” Lin Teng wasn’t angry; he smiled a little and continued, “I originally wanted to just chat with Miss Rong. I didn’t expect to end up talking so much with you, especially about topics that could easily make one angry. No wonder you felt so indignant for Shengxiao. Looking back on what I’ve said, we have indeed been too heartless.”

The old man had imposed a ruthless education on Shengxiao, and as his son, it wasn’t easy for him to intervene. He maintained a neutral stance, only helping Zhiya and the others solve some problems in secret, thus tacitly condoning the old man’s actions.

In the end, Yi had harmed her health to give birth to Wanwan, and he, for the sake of his wife, defiantly chose to be sterilized. Deep down, he still felt guilty towards his father. This guilt was something he couldn’t repay, and he also pinned his hopes on Zhiya’s son, Shengxiao, wishing that one day he would return to the Lin Family and take over the family’s future…

He was too selfish as an uncle!

After a brief lapse, Lin Teng, who certainly wasn’t young anymore, gathered his complex emotions and looked back at Rong Yan, inquiring, “Miss Rong, have you heard of the Chu Family?”

Rong Yan looked at him, “The Chu Family?”

Lin Teng stretched his body and rested his arm on the chair, speaking softly, “The Lin Family, the Zhong Family, and the Chu Family are the three biggest families in Zeka. Among them, the Lin Family follows the path of righteousness, the Zhong Family is half in the light, half in the shadow, and the Chu Family is different from the other two; their influence is mostly underground. The world isn’t as many people perceive it, believing that everything can be understood through the internet. In reality, even the vast majority of the internet–about eighty percent–isn’t open to the public. This sector encompasses too much, with the Chu Family dominating it! Their methods and actions differ from ours; they moved abroad in the early years, conduct themselves mysterly, and rarely show themselves in the media or even in social circles.”

Lin Teng looked at Rong Yan, his eyes sharp, “Their absence doesn’t signify they prefer keeping a low profile or staying out of trouble; their family is famously protective and overbearing. Initially, our two families had agreed to unite through marriage. Later, both Zhiya and I found those we loved and stubbornly refused to honor the marriage arrangement, passing it on to the next generation… The old man must have told you that Shengxiao has a fiancee.”

Rong Yan nodded openly, “He has said so.”

This girl… Lin Teng almost let a smile slip through his stern gaze but managed to hold it back, his tone softening slightly, “Shengxiao’s fiancee is from the Chu Family.”

–Shengxiao’s fiancee is from the Chu Family.

Rong Yan, having been briefed about the Chu Family, was not particularly surprised when Lin Teng said that Shengxiao’s fiancee was from the Chu Family.

Her composed demeanor made Lin Teng secretly give her a thumbs up internally, but he continued outwardly, “The Chu Family is already looking for Shengxiao to fulfill the marriage agreement, but you and he must already be married, right?”

Rong Yan glanced sharply at him.

Lin Teng spoke with a smile, “You don’t need to look at me like that; I had to investigate you a bit. Fortunately, I have contacts in that area, so I checked your records. Shengxiao had someone tamper with your public records. Maybe it’s not easy for others to find out, but as your uncle, I still can.”
