Chapter 9: Chapter 9 You Should Be Grateful
Su Chen looked at the angry young man in front of him, smiled slightly, then turned to look at Lin Ruoxue.
"This is my younger brother, Lin Hao, my own brother," Lin Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly, then her expression turned serious as she looked at the young man in front of her, "So you know to come back, huh!"
"It's Mom's fiftieth birthday, of course I had to come back," Lin Hao retorted, curling his lips disdainfully as he looked at Su Chen, "And who are you? Daring to embrace my sister like that."
Lin Hao certainly knew that this man was the brother-in-law spoken of at home, only he did not acknowledge him.
Who was his sister? Not only was she naturally beautiful and crowned as the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, but she also controlled the vast assets of the Lin Family. How could someone whose name he had never even heard of be worthy of her?
He had only found out about this matter when he returned yesterday. The family had always kept it from him, by the command of Old Master Lin, and no one in the Lin Family dared to disobey.
Because Old Master Lin knew what kind of temper his grandson had and feared that he would disrupt this matter if he returned.
But Lin Hao was bound to return for his mother's grand fiftieth celebration, so he would inevitably meet Su Chen and find out about Lin Ruoxue's marriage, so yesterday, as soon as he returned, Old Master Lin told him the truth.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Hao almost flipped the table in anger, but he restrained himself out of respect for Old Master Lin's authority.
Today, he had been waiting in the courtyard all day to see just who this man was who had married his extraordinarily beautiful sister!
Upon seeing him, his patience eroded even further, because this man was even more unworthy than he had imagined!
He had thought that his sister, even if not married into one of those super-rich families, at least would have married some boss or a high-level executive who had studied abroad.
But the man in front of him, wearing a worn T-shirt, baggy shorts, and dragging along flip-flops, looked no better than a migrant worker!
This really was like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!
Su Chen glanced at the young man before him and could probably guess what he was thinking. The corners of his mouth curled into a mischievous smile, and suddenly he kissed Lin Ruoxue's delicate cheek.
"Now, do you still need to ask this foolish question?" Su Chen glanced sideways at his new uncle-in-law.
"You bastard!"
Lin Hao understood that it was intentional, and feeling a surge of rage, he immediately threw a punch at Su Chen.
Lin Hao was physically robust, and having practiced Taekwondo from a young age, he was quite accomplished, so his punch was indeed explosive.
Many onlookers gasped at the scene, expecting the seemingly frail young man to be knocked out instantly.
Su Chen watched Lin Hao's punch coming, but appeared utterly unconcerned, regarding it as mere child's play.
Although his Dantian was damaged, it only affected his Martial Arts Cultivation, primarily in terms of utilizing Yuan Qi, but it didn't significantly impact his various skills in combat and grappling, aside from reductions in strength, speed, and stamina.
Keep in mind that even relying solely on his skill in Martial Arts, there were absolutely no more than three people in the world who could surpass him!
So even without Yuan Qi, he was still capable of matching someone at the Primary Stage of Qi Refinement Realm, and even in facing someone at the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement Realm, he could protect himself.
After all, any skill honed to its limit is not to be underestimated!
"Stop!"
Just as Su Chen was preparing to teach his cheeky uncle-in-law a lesson, two shouts rang out simultaneously.
One voice came from an elderly man walking out of the house, while the other voice came from Lin Ruoxue's beside him.
Lin Ruoxue had been completely stunned by Su Chen's sudden kiss, and when she came to her senses, she was shocked to see her younger brother swinging his huge fist at Su Chen, knowing all too well that her brother had always been good at fighting.
The other voice was from Old Master Lin, who had come outside after hearing the report from the servant. He hadn't expected to witness this scene and immediately roared angrily.
Upon hearing the roar, Lin Hao unconsciously withdrew his fist while still glaring fiercely at Su Chen, who acted as if he hadn't seen it.
"Lin Hao, is this your cultivation? Dare to strike your own brother-in-law!" Old Master Lin stepped forward and huffed coldly.
Having controlled the Lin Family for decades, Old Master Lin had an innate authority. Despite Lin Hao's arrogance outside, he didn't dare act recklessly in front of Old Master Lin.
"Grandfather, how is this guy worthy of my sister?"
Although he dared not continue the fight, Lin Hao still expressed his resentment.
"Forget about others, mind yourself. Look at you, over twenty years old and still so unserious."
Old Master Lin snorted and then ignored him, walking up to Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue. Seeing their close interaction, he couldn't help but feel comforted.
"Su Chen, Ruoxue, you're here! Good, good!" Old Master Lin said with a beaming smile.
"Grandfather, how have you been feeling lately?"
Su Chen wasn't sure what Old Master Lin meant by 'good', as he had only met Old Master Lin once before while registering the marriage with Lin Ruoxue.
"No need to worry, I've been doing the massages you told me about, and I feel my health is getting better and better, I could live another twenty years with no problems!"
Old Master Lin's hearty laughter rang out once again.
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen in surprise. She had no idea about the massages Su Chen had taught her grandfather. Could he also treat illnesses?
However, seeing the grandfather's vitality seemed much improved compared to half a year ago, Lin Ruoxue, who had always been very close to her grandfather and concerned about his health, wouldn't have compromised under his threat of not getting surgery without her marriage.
It was something she could not understand; why did her grandfather, who always cherished her, insist she marry someone who seemed riddled with flaws.
"Alright, let's not stand in the yard, come on in! Everyone wants to see you!"
The old master led them towards the house, passing by Lin Hao, who gritted his teeth and said:
"You're lucky today!"
"You should be glad you kept an arm," Su Chen replied indifferently.
The living room of the Su Family old mansion was quite large, about a hundred square meters, with around a dozen people sitting around chatting. Upon seeing Old Master Lin and Su Chen enter, they all stopped their conversations and looked toward them.
"Oh, is this the new son-in-law! After half a year, we finally see him in person today!" A woman in her fifties stepped forward, then turned to a couple and said, "Lao San, you and your wife have really kept this good son-in-law well hidden."
Upon hearing the woman's words, the others let out a low snicker.
This sister-in-law was really too harsh; it was clear that she was using her words to mock Lao San's family.
