Chapter 2184: Chapter 2035: I Am Your Elder (Part 4)
Song Xiaodong wrapped his arm around Chu Xianling and approached Chu Jingming, saying: "Listen carefully, I know your Chu Family values social hierarchy, so today I’m going to set things straight for you. Remember this: In your family, besides the old man, Chu Xianling holds the highest position. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Understood!"
"Humph, goodbye!" Song Xiaodong turned and left.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Song!"
"Mr. Song, stay for a meal?"
"You didn’t even invite me."
Song Xiaodong had already walked away.
Dinner.
At the dining table, Chu Jingming, Chen Susu, Chu Jingyang, and Fang Shu all looked displeased.
Fang Shu served Chu Xianling some food.
"Here, Xianling, have some of this."
Chu Xianling nodded.
"Xianling, now that you’re back, why not stay around in the courtyard for a few days?" Chu Jingyang asked Chu Xianling politely.
"No," Chu Xianling coldly refused.
After learning that Chu Xianling had found a boyfriend who would willingly turn against the Chu Family for him and was friends with the Zhao, Chen, He, and Yang families, even his own parents tried to curry favor with Chu Xianling.
Chu Jingming cautiously asked Chu Xianling: "Xianling, you’ve met Mr. Song, why didn’t you tell us?"
"I didn’t want to," Chu Xianling replied coldly.
"Yes, yes, young people nowadays value their privacy, and Xianling is modest, that’s good," Chu Jingming chuckled as he spoke to Chu Xianling.
Chu Xianling didn’t respond, and Chu Jingming had to awkwardly nod along with his wife Chen Susu.
"Xianling, why didn’t you ask Mr. Song to stay for dinner?" Chu Jingyang asked Chu Xianling.
"Did you invite him yourselves? If not, why would he stay?" Chu Xianling retorted irritably.
Everyone at the table fell silent.
That evening, when Chu Xianling got home, Song Xiaodong was on the phone.
"Hello? Teacher Wang?" Song Xiaodong cheekily asked the other end of the line.
"Mr. Song?"
"Yes, yes, it’s me," Song Xiaodong nodded.
"Is there something Mr. Song needs from me?"
"Teacher Wang, can’t I call you if there’s nothing?"
"Hmm... no..." Wang Xinyi replied.
"Why not?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Because you’re bad!" Wang Xinyi answered.
"Teacher Wang, how am I bad? I’ve always been a good student, I’ve followed your advice to do visualization whenever I have time, and now I’m feeling exceptionally good," Song Xiaodong said.
"I don’t believe you, I’m sure you forgot everything I taught you as soon as you got home," Wang Xinyi said.
"No, I didn’t!" Song Xiaodong firmly denied.
"Then recite the mnemonic incantation for the Three Fields Opening and Closing Technique for me," Wang Xinyi tested Song Xiaodong.
"Alright."
Song Xiaodong then recited the incantation for Teacher Wang.
"Hmm, not bad," Wang Xinyi nodded on the other end of the line.
"See, Teacher Wang, how can I be bad? I’ve always listened to the teachers," Song Xiaodong said.
"What do you actually want from me?" Wang Xinyi asked Song Xiaodong.
"I... Teacher Wang, it’s like this, after you taught me the Water Observation Technique, I’ve been meditating whenever I have the chance. Last time, when I was out and encountered danger, it was the Water Observation Technique that helped me narrowly escape. Teacher Wang, you not only saved my life but also those of my two wives, so I wanted to invite Teacher Wang for a meal to express my gratitude," Song Xiaodong said.
"Really?" Teacher Wang was skeptical of Song Xiaodong’s words.
"Of course, I swear on my wives!" Song Xiaodong promised, looking at the returning Chu Xianling.
Chu Xianling glared at Song Xiaodong.
"You’re just plotting to ask me out!" Wang Xinyi said to Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong thought to himself, "Wow, Teacher Wang, why are you so straightforward?"
"Teacher Wang, inviting you out is also part of the reason," Song Xiaodong admitted honestly.
"I’ll think about it," Wang Xinyi said.
"Teacher Wang, don’t just think it over, there’s nothing to hesitate about. Opportunity knocks but once, you’ve got to seize the chance!" Song Xiaodong said.

"I’m hanging up!" Wang Xinyi heard Song Xiaodong start talking nonsense and promptly hung up the phone.
"Serves you right, talking nonsense!" Chu Xianling laughed as she spoke to Song Xiaodong.
"How was that nonsense, everything I said was the truth," Song Xiaodong pinched his nose.
"Girls don’t like to hear the whole truth!" Chu Xianling replied.
"Then what do they like to hear? I can tell those sweet little lies that charm girls too!" Song Xiaodong laughed, reaching over to hug Chu Xianling’s waist.
"Hey? What are you doing? I’m now the highest-ranking person in the Chu Family, after the old man. Do you think you can just hug me whenever you like?" Chu Xianling tilted her head and asked Song Xiaodong.
"Wow, you ungrateful woman, I made you the most powerful woman in the Chu Family, and you’ve forgotten so soon?" Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.
"Still talking about it, you beat people from my family, even injured several of my masters!" Chu Xianling said to Song Xiaodong.
"Masters?"
"The family guards, lots of them have taught me Kung Fu!" Chu Xianling said.
"Ha, just like Zhao Min!" Song Xiaodong said.
"I’m not Zhao Min, I’m the Lady in Yellow!" Chu Xianling said.
"You’re the Lady with No Clothes!" Song Xiaodong tried to undress Chu Xianling.
"Why are you so eager? Frustrated that you failed to hook up with your Teacher Wang?" Chu Xianling laughed as she asked Song Xiaodong.
"So you know, you’d better tone it down, or I’ll make you scream until morning and then your family will ask, ’Hey, Xianling, why’s your voice hoarse?’" Song Xiaodong said, picking up Chu Xianling.
