Chapter 94: Seeing Tang Yun Again
Lin Ruoxue ate breakfast without really tasting it and hurriedly finished to drive to work.
Su Chen, on the other hand, had no such concerns and only stopped eating after he was fully sated.
"Let's go, Ruohan, Brother Su will take you to school."
"Okay!"
Little Ruohan immediately became excited, slinging her backpack over her shoulder and couldn't wait to leave.
Throughout the journey, little Ruohan chattered non-stop, and she kept asking questions as well.
To Su Chen's surprise, the topics this little girl spoke about and the questions she asked were completely beyond what a girl her age should know.
For example, she would ask Su Chen about things learned in university, like advanced mathematics, calculus, quantum physics, various economics and finance subjects, and so on.
She would even discuss international events, such as what impact Brexit might have on Europe's economy and why Trump unexpectedly defeated the representative of the elite class, Hillary, and so on.
Su Chen finally understood why the Lin Family treated this little girl like a monster.
This was not what an eleven-year-old would ask!
Moreover, she was delicately beautiful, a spitting image of Lin Ruoxue, with quite the resemblance to her.
Su Chen couldn't help but wonder, what kind of man would be able to handle this little girl in the future?
Fortunately, Su Chen was also an oddity with an exceptional ability to learn, proficient in many things, so he managed to cope with Ruohan's questions.
However, what surprised Su Chen the most was that this little girl even knew about the Dark World, and was aware of the Black List and the Heaven List.
These were things only those within the Dark World would know, with the Black List being a ranking of assassins and the Heaven List, a ranking of overall strength.
"Brother Su, have you heard of these two lists?" Little Ruohan asked curiously, her eyes on Su Chen, "I've heard that the people on those lists are all incredibly powerful."
"I think I've heard of them."
Su Chen nodded while continuing to drive.
How could he not know? He had been at the top of both lists, and as long as he was there, everyone else could only vie for second place!
It wasn't until the incident a year ago that the outside world thought he was dead, and his name was then removed.
Even now, Su Chen's feats were a legend in the Dark World! A myth!
"Tell me about it, I really want to know," little Ruohan pleaded, her eyes ablaze with keen interest.
"I've only heard about it, I'm not too clear on the details myself."
Su Chen smiled and shook his head. Now, he only wanted a peaceful life and didn't want any ties with his past, and he even refused to think about it.
It was as if those things happened in a previous life, long blown away by the wind.
When Ruohan heard his response, she immediately looked disappointed. Su Chen smiled and patted her head.
The school Ruohan attended wasn't far from Lin Ruoxue's villa, and they arrived before long.
Su Chen parked the car at the school gate, and they both got out. Seeing that her shoelaces had come loose, he bent down to tie them for her.
"Pay attention in class, I'll come pick you up after school."
Su Chen patted little Ruohan's shoulder and said.
"Got it." Ruohan nodded, and just then, she saw a woman walking by and quickly called out, "Good morning, Miss Tang!"
"Oh, it's Ruohan! Good morning," the woman stopped when she heard the shout and then, seeing a familiar face, she spoke with surprise, "Mr. Su, what are you doing here?"
"It's you, so you're a teacher?"
Su Chen was also somewhat taken aback as he realized that this female teacher was Tang Mingji's daughter, Tang Yun.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Yun nodded slightly, hesitantly asking, "Mr. Su, is Ruohan your daughter?"
Tang Yun had only seen Ruohan's mother before and had never met her father, hence the question.
"No, no, you're mistaken." Su Chen quickly gestured with his hands, clarifying, "She's my relative's daughter."
"Su Brother, you know Teacher Tang?"
"Yeah, I've seen her," Su Chen casually replied. "Now, you should hurry to your classroom."
"Okay, Su Brother, remember to pick me up in the evening!"
Lin Ruohan waved to Su Chen and Tang Yun and then made her way to the classroom.
"I, I, I should go now."
Left alone with Tang Yun, Su Chen wanted to say something, but finding no topic, he took his leave.
"Oh, alright, goodbye then." Tang Yun also seemed a bit uneasy, and it wasn't until Su Chen got into his car that she suddenly called out, "Mr. Su, don't forget to visit my home this weekend!"
By then Su Chen had started the car and driven off, and it was unclear whether he had heard her.
However, what no one knew was that Lin Ruohan, the little girl, hadn't gone into her classroom. Instead, she ducked into a corner and made a phone call.
"Cousin, I have some news for you, your rival has appeared!" Experience tales at empire
Lin Ruohan whispered into the phone, as if sharing a secret.
"What rival?"
Lin Ruoxue, who had just sat down to get to work, immediately asked upon hearing this.
"Let me tell you, but you can't tell Su Brother. This morning when Su Brother was taking me to school, we happened to run into our homeroom teacher, Miss Tang. They seemed to get along very well!"
"Isn't that normal? Your Su Brother probably wants the teacher to take special care of your studies," Lin Ruoxue retorted.
"Psh, that's not it! They didn't just meet today; they've known each other for a long time." Lin Ruohan lowered her voice again,
"Cousin, you really can't let your guard down. Our Teacher Tang is so pretty, almost as pretty as you, but the most important thing is she's gentle and feminine. Much better than your ice-cold demeanor!"
"Really?"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but blurt out.
"Of course, we're family after all, would I lie to you? Alright, I need to head to class now."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruohan showed a sly, fox-like smile.
"Su Brother, I just did you a big favor!"
...…
Lin Ruoxue, who had just finished the call and intended to work on some documents, found herself unexplainably irritated and unable to focus on a single word.
All she could think about were Lin Ruohan's words and Su Chen's image.
"Secretary Chen, come in for a moment."
Lin Ruoxue called out towards the door, and Chen Guo immediately entered.
Lin Ruoxue had wanted to send Chen Guo to the security department to notify Su Chen to report to her as soon as he arrived for work, but upon reflection, what was she going to say to him? How could she even bring it up?
"Nevermind, you can go."
Lin Ruoxue waved her hand in irritation, dismissing Chen Guo.
Chen Guo, the young woman, was left utterly baffled by Lin Ruoxue, who had summoned her, said nothing, and then sent her away.
