Chapter 298: Face-slapper Comes Knocking (Part two)
“What are you doing here?” Mommy Lin’s face immediately turned cold. “I already said everything that needs to be said. Now, the Lin Family is completely unrelated to the Owen Family (Mommy Lin’s family). Please respect our boundaries, you can go back now.”
Seeing her sister being this merciless, Yali suddenly felt a bit awkward. She then turned to look at Lin Chuxue and then said pa.s.sionately, “Chuxue, Auntie liked you the most since you were a baby girl. Look, your auntie got kicked out of the family by your grandpa and now Auntie has nothing on her. Since the company was able to come back from the dead, can I come back too?”
Lin Chuxue thought she heard wrong or something, and she actually laughed from being a little angry. “Auntie, for that t.i.tle I call you by, can you at least act like an elder? Can you not give me anymore reasons to despise you? Life is a gamble, and you have to accept the consequences.”
Yali then immediately look to Xu Cheng, knowing that this man was now the one that wore the pants in this house. “Oh h.e.l.lo, my dearest nephew-in-law, now everyone’s talking about how the Lin Family found themselves a reliable son-in-law, and the entirety of London is talking about you. I’m even telling everyone I know how great you are to the elders in the family.”
And what she meant to say was, she was also his elder, so he should be nice to her.
Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “Auntie Yali, I grew up here since I was young, but I only have two elders, and that doesn’t include you. Also, my words don’t hold much weight in this household, I’m afraid there’s no use for you to ask me for favors.”
Then, the maid came back again and said, “Master, a guest has arrived and he said he’s here for Mr. Xu.”
Xu Cheng was a bit surprised.
Then, a young man in British aristocratic attire walked in, looked at Xu Cheng, and said, “You are Xu Cheng, right?”
“Yes,” Xu Cheng replied.
“I’m Kalan, and I want to challenge you to a fight.”
“Kalan!” Lin Guiren and Lin Lei were both a bit shocked upon hearing the name.
Xu Cheng looked at the guy and said, “I’m sorry, but why do I have to accept your challenge.”
Kalan arrogantly replied with his nostrils towards Xu Cheng, “I think Mr. Xu forgot those words you said at the Queen’s banquet yesterday. You said all aristocrats are garbage, but I’m not, and as a member of the aristocratic society, I express my objection in what you said. Of course, I’m not here to argue with you. I just want Mr. Xu to say to the media that the words you said that night was just trash talk, meant nothing, and then apologize. If you don’t want to do that, that’s fine too, then please accept my challenge to you for a fair match. I will represent the aristocracy of Britain, and if you feel like you can’t represent the Huaxia military, you can get someone else to come too. This is the letter of challenge, don’t misplace it.”
As Kalan said that, he took out a gold-bordered letter from his sleeve and placed it onto the table. Then, he politely greeted Lin Chuxue in silence with a slight bow and said, “I believe in the Rose of Britain’s taste. A man that’s worthy of your love mustn’t be someone that’s just all talk. I came to challenge you after I heard that you injured over a hundred royal guards. I hope you can attend the fight tomorrow.”
Then, he left.
Xu Cheng sat down, picked up the letter on the table, and mumbled. “Who the h.e.l.l is this guy? I’ve never heard of him before.”
Lin Chuxue also wondered, “Lin Lei, do you know?”
Lin Lei was still dumbfounded. “d.a.m.nit, how did we end up provoking that guy?”
Lin Guiren: “You two weren’t in the country for a while so it’s natural that you don’t know him. This is the rising number 1 martial arts star in recent years.”
Mommy Lin nodded. “He’s really famous for his accomplishment in martial arts in Europe. I heard that in his record, he hasn’t lost a single fight yet, and even the Queen personally gave him the hereditary peer t.i.tle, praising his contribution to the British martial arts culture.”
Xu Cheng: “Dad, have you fought against him before?”
Lin Guiren nodded. “After all, I was also a big martial arts guy in the past. He came to challenge me two years ago after his debut, and I lost within 20 strikes. I don’t know if he got even better over the years.”
