The Lin family was one of the elite families so they naturally wouldn't dabble in such unorthodox businesses, but the youngest generation of the family often lacked money, so they used their family's name to run such businesses outside.

"All you have to do is accompany me to drink, and this matter will be over. If you get into trouble in the future, just come to me and ask for my help, I'll settle the matter in a jiffy." Though he was talking about drinking, it obviously wouldn't be just drinking.

Miao Xiaolin's expression turned sour. She knew this matter was troublesome. On the side, Xiao Fangfang commented, "Shall we call Young Master Song? If not, something might happen."

Miao Xiaolin made a sullen face, "The other side is the Lin family. Even Young Maser Song can't do anything to help."

"We shouldn't have come here!"

"We're in trouble this time!"

A boy was standing beside Miao Xiaolin who appeared to be her boyfriend. He was called Jin Bo, and his parents were small-time business owners owning assets worth 10 million RMB. He said, "Let's see what Cheng Lingsu's boyfriend intends to do. It's a boy's time to shine. Do you know why pretty girls like to hook up with a rich and powerful man? It's because a man with neither money nor influence can't protect their woman, just like how Susu is right now. That's why girls look forward to hooking up with a young master."

"An ordinary person like him will lose Susu sooner or later."

Xiao Fangfang's boyfriend, Qian Kun, also believed the same.

Cheng Lingsu's expression warped. She had rejected the man originally. If the other side was merely a thug, Jiang Xiu could've just beat him up carefreely, but she never expected that the man was a person from the Lin family. The Lin family was an elite family of the capital, so she was worried a bit about what Jiang Xiu would do. He already disliked her enough, and now she had brought such trouble to him.

At this moment when everyone was stuck in a dilemma, an indifferent voice came through. "Lin Shiqian, isn't he Lin Jianan's grandson?"

Whoa!

Everyone was stunned.

"He actually dared to call Elder Lin by his name!"

Lin Jianan was an old man who had retired from the army and was pretty influential, so no one dared to address him so disrespectfully.

"Yeah!"

The youth was stunned as well but replied in affirmation.

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. It was no wonder that the Lin family's status was going downhill these past years. They had fallen from the top-tier elite families into a state where the youngest generation of the family ran places of entertainment such as nightclubs while the children of the other elite families dabbled in real estate, exploiting the business energetically. And at worst, they opened up a movie company and had fun with actresses. As for this Lin Shiqian, he was mingling with such people here. "The Lin family's accomplishments are indeed rising up and up."

"Brat, you better think before you speak."

Miao Xiaolin and Xiao Fangfang were already scared shitless. Brother! Take it easy on your words. You really dare to say whatever you want, but that's the Lin family, a powerful elite family. How can you make such comments about them?

But they didn't dare to interrupt.

"Quickly call Young Master Song. He's always been chasing Susu, this is the time for him to show off." Miao Xiaolin said to Xiao Fangfang slyly. She didn't approve of Jiang Xiu's actions and was worried Susu might suffer losses.

Opportunately, Song Ronghao was inside a high-grade club next-door. He immediately rushed over without even questioning anything once he received the call.

"Brother Hai, how come you're here?" Song Ronghao came running over and was startled after seeing the youth. After seeing the crowd which had gathered here, he immediately understood that Brother Hai wanted Cheng Lingsu. "They are my friends. Please pardon them, Brother Hai."

"Young Master Song!"

A smile rose up on Brother Hai's face when he saw Song Ronghao. The other side was the Song family, the wealthiest family in Shanghai, so he naturally had to sell some face to the children of the Song family. But Jiang Xiu had offended the Lin family. That smile on his face slowly turned into a cold sneer, "Your friend is really amazing. He actually dared to address Elder Lin by his name and even criticized the Lin family, and also disregarded Young Master Lin."

Jiang Xiu and Song Ronghao had met before. Song Ronghao had learned of the relationship between Cheng Lingsu and him back then, but their relationship didn't look that well and seemed pretty disharmonious. It felt like their relationship was just for namesake, so he believed this was an excellent chance for him.

Since the beauty had run into misfortune, it was time for him to show off and make her understand that he's the Emperor chosen for her by the heavens. "Brother Hai, show me some face and let this matter go. If you do that, I won't mention this matter to Young Master Lin."

"What did you say?" Brother Hai grinned, "Young Master Song, just because we call you 'Young Master,' did you think you've become one? Just a word from Young Master Lin is enough to throw you out from the capital."

The Song family was a business family, so they acted as aids and advisors of top officials, but they were still far from comparing to the truly elite families. Moreover, Song Ronghao's position in the family wasn't that high.

"Let me offer you a piece of advice, Young Master Song. You can befriend some people, but you absolutely can't befriend some as it'll kill you."

Song Ronghao's face turned green. He didn't expect that Brother Hai wouldn't show him any face at all. He had utterly lost face in front of the beauty.

Cheng Lingsu had come from a small region like Jiang City, so she really didn't understand the depths of the waters of the capital. She believed the matter would be settled since Song Ronghao had come, after all, he was a member of the wealthiest family in  Shanghai, so it should've been enough to act as a deterrent. But she didn't expect the other party to show blatant disrespect for him and even admonish him. She finally understood that the other side's background was much stronger.

She estimated how the Jiang family compared with the Lin family and whether Jiang Xiu would act or not.

That man glanced at Cheng Lingsu, "Are you willing to accompany me now?"

"You better not regret your choice."

Saying so, he left the area.

Song Ronghai said, "Jiang Xiu, you acted too recklessly. How could you criticize the Lin family?" He felt like he had lost a lot of face since he wasn't of any use. "I don't know where you get your confidence from to call Elder Lin by his name and even criticize the Lin family. The Lin family is an elite family of the Imperial Capital. You… You're courting death."

"Yeh?"

Jiang Xiu smiled coolly.

Song Ronghao sighed helplessly. The ignorant were indeed fearless. He believed that an ordinary person like Jiang Xiu could never understand the fearsomeness of the Lin family. They had the power to destroy families in minutes. "Better heed my advice. Get your shit straight before Young Master Lin arrives and lay down your pride else the consequences would be too horrible."

Cheng Lingsu wore a look of worry on her face. She didn't know what to do. She hesitated for a long time, desperation flashing through her eyes as her face paled. She said, "I'll go."

She naïvely believed that the matter would be over if she accompanied the other party for a few drinks.

An ominous glint flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes, killing intent rushed out from his eyes. It gave goosebumps to Cheng Lingsu. She had never seen such a terrifying Jiang Xiu.

Cheng Lingsu believed that since this matter had originated due to her, it'd be better for her to accept this humiliation as she didn't want to create trouble for Jiang Xiu and make things difficult for him. But she had forgotten one thing, she was currently his, Jiang Luoxia's nominal wife. An insult to her meant that Jiang Luoxia was incompetent, and this would make him lose face which was an even bigger humiliation.

Actually, Cheng Lingsu understood this. She had done the same in Jiangnan, but she panicked in the current situation and forgot about it. When she saw his angry gaze, she immediately understood what mistake she had made and sat down quickly.

On the side, Miao Xiaolin and Xiao Fangfang were really unhappy.

"Why?"

"That's a boy."

"Jiang Xiu, are you a man or not? You're not even standing up at such a time."

Right at this moment, a youth escorted by a group of people came over to their location. Song Ronghao went up to welcome him, "Young Master Lin!"

The surrounding people called out to him in succession and bowed to greet him.

To tell the truth, it was difficult for ordinary people to meet a young master from an elite family. Lin Shiqian was an oddball who wasted himself by running a nightclub here.

"Who has the gall to criticize my Lin family here?"

His gaze dropped on Jiang Xiu who appeared nothing special and looked ordinary. His heart was filled with disdain. He believed it must've been some fierce person who had criticized his Lin family, but it turned out to be an ordinary guy who was just running his mouth off.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiu with sympathy. This matter had become grave.

The most fearsome thing about a young master of the capital was the power of their family. They could crush a person in minutes and were scarier than the wealthy families as they could directly cut off all routes of a family.

He sat down on the sofa and brought a cigar to his mouth. That man called Brother Hai immediately sparked the lighter and with that, the show had finally begun.

He smoked a few puffs then looked at Jiang Xiu with a look of ridicule while exhaling the smoke, "Student. Where are you from? What's your name?"

Jiang Xiu replied with an apathetic gaze, "Jiang City."

"Jiang Xiu!"
