Chapter 156 Naked Humiliation
Old Master Yin only glanced briefly at Li Tingxi, who was standing next to Su Youling, his expression unreadable.
Seeing Mr. Yin's inscrutable expression, Lu Chennuan mistakenly thought he was resentful of Su Youling's behavior because of his imposing presence. She immediately smiled and walked towards Mr. Yin in a sweet voice, "Grandpa Yin, I'm so sorry to have bothered you last night."
Mr. Yin's smile faded slightly. "I heard from Shi Yan that you stayed behind to apologize on behalf of Lu Han. That's quite thoughtful of you."
"The Lu family and I will definitely give you an explanation regarding Lu Han's matter. However, Miss Su just said that the drug was probably not administered by my brother. I don't think Lu Han would be so audacious as to bring an aphrodisiac to the Yin family's banquet." Lu Chennuan subtly deflected blame from the Lu family and sighed, "Fortunately, Miss Su is very lucky and found a good man to help her with the antidote. It's a great blessing that she's not seriously injured."
Shi Yan glanced at her coldly, feeling dejected and irritated.
He had previously thought that his grandfather liked Su Youling. Before the banquet, his grandfather had even hinted that he appreciated Su Youling's talent and wanted to recruit her to the Yin family. That's why he wanted Su Youling even more.
But he didn't know how much his grandfather had found out about Su Youling and Li Tingxi. Families like the Yin family valued social standing and family background very much.
Now that Su Youling and Li Tingxi are spending the night at Xiyuan again, is Grandpa's deep thoughts a subtle warning to him not to have any more illusions about Su Youling?
The thought that this was the purpose of Li Tingxi staying behind to show off made Shi Yan's heart burn with anger, and he wished he could rush forward and punch him a few times to vent his anger.
To make matters worse, Lu Chennuan added fuel to the fire, which made Shi Yan even more irritated. "Miss Lu, you've apologized, you've come to places you shouldn't have, and you've said a whole bunch of things you shouldn't have. I'll send someone to take you back to the Lu family. Don't keep your family waiting."
Lu Chennuan's face turned pale.
Even in front of the old man, Shi Yan was so disrespectful. Did he really not give the Lu family any face at all?

Does he like Su Youling that much?
"Shi Yan, how can you talk to a girl like that?" Old Mr. Yin reprimanded her in a stern voice, then gestured for a servant to bring over a box and hand it to Lu Chennuan. "Miss Lu, Shi Yan is young and doesn't know any better. He's impulsive and rash in his words and actions. Please don't take it to heart. Consider this bracelet a small token of my apology on his behalf."
Shi Yan's expression changed. "Grandpa..."
Could it be that Grandpa has taken a liking to Lu Chennuan and wants to play matchmaker for him?
Lu Chennuan never expected things to take such a turn for the better; the old man would actually take the initiative to befriend her. Her mind immediately became active. "Thank you, Grandpa Yin. You can just call me Nuannuan! This gift is too precious... I can't accept it."
"Take it," said Old Master Yin calmly. "No matter what, it's a fact that Lu Han was injured at the Yin family. Although he was in the wrong first, let's keep things separate. Consider this gift a token of our appreciation."
Mentioning Lu Han, Lu Chennuan lost face and awkwardly left the gift, saying, "Lu Han acted rashly and offended Miss Su..."
“I believe the Lu family will personally apologize to Lingling when Lu Han is discharged from the hospital another day.” Old Master Yin glanced at Su Youling and said to Lu Chennuan, “She is a young girl who has suffered such a great injustice. It is only right that your father, the head of the family, should personally bow down and apologize.”
Lu Chennuan's smile froze for a moment. "Grandpa Yin, my father is an elder after all. I'll take care of the apology..."
Su Youling is just a young junior who rose to power through dirty tricks. Why should the head of the Lu family bow down and apologize to her?
Is the old man getting senile?
What exactly is his relationship with Su Youling? Why is he so protective of her?
Old Master Yin didn't care whether she agreed or not. He had his own ways of getting revenge for Su Youling afterward. He was just showing the Yin family's attitude in front of Lu Chennuan.
"Su girl, come here." He personally took out an exquisite brocade box from behind his wheelchair; the patterns and designs looked somewhat familiar.
Su Youling glanced at Li Tingxi; neither of them knew what the old man was up to.
But strangely, she couldn't see any hostility in Old Master Yin. She walked over and considerately squatted down to speak to him, "Is there anything you want to say..."
"This is for you." Old Master Yin opened the box with a smile, and it turned out to be yesterday's grand finale charity auction item.
A complete set of unparalleled jewelry.
The jewelry that Mr. Yin personally photographed yesterday, without revealing its purpose, led everyone to speculate that it was a grand gift he had prepared for Shi Yan's future wife.
It was actually given to Su Youling?
Lu Chennuan clenched her fist in shock, and suddenly the bracelet in her hand no longer seemed so appealing.
Compared to Su Youling's jewelry, this broken bracelet is utterly worthless, and can even be considered a blatant insult.
What kind of spell has been cast on Old Master Yin that makes him treat Su Youling so well?
Does he intend to bring Su Youling and Shi Yan together?
The lover Su Youling had a one-night stand with last night is still here!
"This gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." Su Youling politely declined, but a warm feeling washed over her. She thought that Old Master Yin had only helped her so many times because of the small favor he had done for her back then.
She was already very grateful for what Butler Li had done for her.

She absolutely cannot accept Bao.
“Grandpa Yin, it’s only natural for me to help you. Even if it weren’t for you that day, I would have helped anyway.” Su Youling sighed and explained calmly, “Besides, I came here without warning and encountered many problems. I’m very grateful that you helped me get out of danger.”
Grandpa Yin felt quite sorry, but his eyes showed even more appreciation for Su Youling. "She does good deeds without expecting anything in return. She is a kind-hearted and magnanimous child. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
He didn't try to persuade her any further. He simply handed the gift to the servant to put away, grabbed Su Youling's hand and patted it, saying, "If you won't accept the gift, how about staying and having a meal with me?"
Su Youling wanted to say that she had already eaten, but since she had accepted the favor, she had to repay it, and a meal was not excessive.
“No problem,” Su Youling said.
Li Tingxi frowned in dissatisfaction. He had achieved his goal of showing off and demonstrating at the Yin family's old mansion, and now he didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.
But seeing that Su Youling had already agreed, he stood quietly behind her, determined to follow her closely.
Shi Yan glared at him coldly. "Grandpa only invited Lingling to dinner. No one else needs to come."
Li Tingxi remained unmoved, ignoring him completely. His natural arrogance and domineering manner made it seem as if there was nothing wrong with his current arrogance.
"You!" Shi Yan stepped forward defiantly, but was stopped by Old Master Yin. "Shi Yan, guests are guests, you mustn't be rude."
Shi Yan was filled with resentment, but out of respect for Old Master Yin, he could only walk out in silence.
Everyone was getting ready to go out for dinner, but no one paid any attention to Lu Chennuan, as if they had deliberately forgotten about her.
Lu Chennuan, who was always the center of attention, had never been so humiliated. Even a security guard could leave with her, while she was the only one being ignored.
