After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 171

After leaving the hospital, Yang Mengyu urged, "Let's hurry back to the company; there are still many things to take care of."

"Let's go to Zuixiang Pavilion." Lin Ling took her hand and said with a faint smile, "Didn't we say we'd have a meal together at Zuixiang Pavilion?"

"Have you ordered it for me?"

"No." Yang Mengyu stuck out her tongue: "I was so nervous back then, and you were still thinking about food."

"I didn't take going to Zuixian Pavilion seriously at all; I was terrified."

Lin Ling looked at her playful appearance and pinched her cheek with a smile.

"Get lost." Yang Mengyu rolled her eyes at Lin Ling. "Then let's go eat quickly, I'm starving."

"The food I ate at the hospital just now was not fit for human consumption."

"That Black Wolf is really something, he has no sense at all, just randomly getting us food from the hospital cafeteria." Lin Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Forget it, let's not bother with him."

"Well, you can't really blame him. He's a big, burly guy; it would be strange if he knew how to take care of people," Yang Mengyu said with a helpless smile.

Lin Ling made a phone call to reserve a table, and then drove to Zuixian Pavilion.

The two arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Xiao Jian, the boss of Zuixian Pavilion, was already waiting respectfully at the door.

A dozen or so hostesses lined up in two rows.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Xiao Jian, who had been sporting a money rat whip, strode over and said with a smile, "President Lin, it's an honor to have you here. Welcome, welcome."

"Please eat and drink as much as you like; it'll all be on me, Xiao Jian."

"Let's go." Lin Ling nodded and smiled.

Stepping into Zuixian Pavilion, one finds it still a gathering place for celebrities.

Everyone here is a prominent figure in Nanzhou.

Upon seeing Lin Ling, everyone showed him great respect.

Gone was their previous disdain; they all greeted Lin Ling with their regards.

Lin Ling glanced at them and, finding none of them to be important figures, nodded quietly.

Discussions broke out at the scene after he left.

"This CEO Lin is truly remarkable; he possesses such strategic acumen at such a young age."

"His brain is really amazing. He actually got hold of the White Dog and Chief Kong's weaknesses early on, and then teamed up with the police to pull off a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Yeah, I thought he was definitely going to die, but I didn't expect him to kill Director Kong and White Dog so easily."

"He's a prominent figure in our Southern Prefecture now, and I'm afraid some powerful families won't dare to mess with him in the future."

"Who would dare to mess with him? They might get secretly plotted against."

Hearing this, Su Qingyan, who was in the crowd, felt very uncomfortable.

In her eyes, Lin Ling was just a good-for-nothing who had made some money by luck.

They come when you wave and leave when you wave.

Since the wedding, Lin Ling has turned against her, and she is both angry and regretful.

But deep down, I still felt that Lin Ling wasn't very capable.

Later, Lin Ling became too arrogant and offended Director Kong and Bai Gou. She was even more gloating and believed that her choice to give up on Lin Ling was the right one.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ling ended up bringing down Bai Gou and Director Kong.

She then realized just how terrifying Lin Ling, who wasn't her devoted admirer, really was.

Su Qingyan thought of Lin Tianwu again.

She learned through rumors that Lin Tianwu had booked a hotel room with the white dog girl and had been taken away by the police.

This left her utterly disappointed.

She never expected that the seemingly innocent Lin Tianwu was actually this kind of person.

This also reminded her of how good Lin Ling had been to her.

With Lin Ling around, she hardly had to worry about anything; everything went smoothly, and no one dared to make things difficult for her.

Even when negotiating business partnerships, one might encounter harassment, or even be forced to offer sexual favors in order to secure a deal.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyan gritted her teeth and quickly chased after him.

But seeing Lin Ling and Yang Mengyu holding hands so sweetly made her feel even worse.

Such an outstanding man should be hers.

“He loved me so much, he will definitely forgive me.” Su Qingyan gritted her teeth: “Maybe he’s with that bitch Yang Mengyu just to make me jealous.”

"Hmph! Besides, now that I've secured a large number of shares in Xinhe Salt Lake, I'm qualified to be looked up to by him."

"Anyway, that little secretary is no match for me in any way."

She gritted her teeth and quickly stepped forward: "Lin Ling, I have something I want to talk to you about."
