MTLNOVEL Chapter 4:
Chapter 4: Your So-Called Love Is Disgusting:
Inside the Su family’s villa, hundreds of tables were set up on the lawn, filled with guests.
Chen Yang led his grandmother and sister to an empty table and sat down casually. Around them, whispers spread among the crowd.
“Speaking of which, why is the eldest daughter of the Su family marrying Zhao Qilin from the Zhao family?”
“The Su family has two mighty war gods in their ranks. With their status and influence, the Zhao family isn’t even worthy of polishing their shoes.”
“Brother, you don’t know the full story. Even though the Zhao family isn’t as powerful as the Su family, I heard that three months ago, the groom was taken in as the final disciple of Elder Bai from Longhu Mountain.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding guests gasped.
Elder Bai from Longhu Mountain?
That man was a legendary martial arts grandmaster, renowned across the country.
His combat prowess was unparalleled, and he was even regarded as one of Xia Nation’s guardians.
Even if a war god stood before him, they would have to respectfully address him as a senior.
With Zhao Qilin becoming Elder Bai’s final disciple, his status alone was enough to surpass the Su family.
After all, everyone knew how those two war gods of the Su family had risen to power.
Sitting in his chair, Chen Yang finally understood why Zhao Qinghuan had tried to stop him from making a scene earlier.
So, the groom was actually her younger brother!
“Second Brother, let’s just leave Jiang City, okay?”
Chen Rui, sitting beside him, was filled with worry.
She never expected the Zhao and Su families to be joined in marriage. But Zhao Qilin’s master was simply too powerful. If something went wrong…
“If that old man from Longhu Mountain dares to intervene, I’ll kill him on the spot,” Chen Yang said calmly.
His words were shocking.
Everyone knew that martial arts grandmasters were not to be insulted—that was common knowledge.
Yet, Chen Yang had the audacity to claim he could kill one just like that?
If anyone had overheard him, they would have cursed him for being delusional.
“Look, the bride is coming out!”
A scream rang through the crowd, drawing countless eyes toward a villa ahead.
Journalists swarmed forward, microphones and cameras in hand.
After all, the wedding of the Su family’s eldest daughter was a major event in Jiang City.
“Miss Su, do you have anything to say about your wedding today?”
“Miss Su, for the past seven years, you’ve been devoted to the Chen family’s second young master. Why did you suddenly decide to get married?”
At the entrance of the villa, Su Qingxue emerged, dressed in a black wedding gown, radiating brilliance.
Her perfect figure, fair jade-like skin, and breathtaking beauty made countless women at the scene burn with jealousy.
At this moment, Su Qingxue’s red lips parted slightly.
Her gaze carried sorrow. “Seven years ago, after the Chen family tragedy, I fell into despair and even considered taking my own life. But when I saw Grandma Chen all alone, I decided to take care of her in my boyfriend Chen Yang’s place.”
“I know that many people must be wondering whether my feelings for Chen Yang over the past seven years were real or just for show.”
As she spoke, two tears streamed down her face, smudging her makeup.
Yet, she seemed unaware, continuing to sob. “These past few months, I realized that Grandma Chen was missing her late grandson more than ever. So I made a bold decision—to get married and have children! I will name my firstborn Chen Yang, both to honor my love for him and to give Grandma Chen a reason to keep living.”
With that, a servant handed her a long, white mourning ribbon.
Su Qingxue tied it around her head.
The meaning was clear—even on her wedding day, she would wear mourning for the Chen family.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Thunderous applause erupted across the venue.
Even the women who had been jealous of Su Qingxue’s beauty were moved to tears.
A young woman had remained faithful to her deceased boyfriend and cared for his grandmother for seven years.
Who else in the world could do such a thing?
Even her marriage and childbirth were meant to give her late boyfriend’s grandmother a reason to live.
Such undying love—it was impossible not to be touched.
Sitting in his chair, Chen Yang let out a laugh—one filled with sheer disbelief.
This woman was not only a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but she even had the audacity to exploit his name for sympathy!
Before he could say anything, Chen Rui had already charged forward.
“You vicious woman! What a load of nonsense!”
Chen Rui pointed at Su Qingxue’s face, her voice filled with fury. “For seven years, you tormented my grandmother, poisoned her, and just yesterday, you tried to steal my heart to curry favor with the Sun family of Jinling. You deserve to die!”
The unexpected outburst left everyone stunned.
What… was happening?
Su Qingxue froze for a moment, disbelief flashing through her beautiful eyes.
How was this ugly freak here?!
She quickly regained her composure and signaled to a few people in the crowd with a subtle glance.
Immediately, a journalist stepped forward. “Where did this wild woman come from? How dare she slander Miss Su! Where are the Su family’s bodyguards?”
“Hurry up and throw that ugly freak out! Miss Su is such a kind person—she mustn’t have her reputation tarnished by someone like this!”
Chen Rui trembled with rage.
Was this journalist blind?!
If Su Qingxue truly cared about Grandma Chen, then why wasn’t she invited to the wedding today?
As the Su family’s bodyguards approached, ready to take action against her, a cold voice rang out.
“Anyone who dares touch my sister better be ready to die.”
In an instant, countless eyes turned toward the speaker.
When they saw his face, the tears in Su Qingxue’s eyes vanished, replaced by shock and fear.
Him… wasn’t he already dead?
How was he still alive?!
Realizing that Chen Rui must have been rescued yesterday at the hospital, Su Qingxue instantly understood—Chen Yang knew everything she had done in the past seven years.
This can’t happen.
I’ve been acting for seven years. I can’t let him ruin everything now.
And if the Northern Border Army finds out there’s a surviving member of the Chen family, they will never remain loyal to my father and uncle.
Chen Yang must die!
Su Qingxue’s gaze turned icy.
“Seven years ago, aside from Grandma Chen, no one in the Chen family survived. Why have you chosen this day to undergo plastic surgery to resemble my late boyfriend?”
With just one sentence, the crowd suddenly understood.
That’s right—everyone in Jiang City knew that the entire Chen family had perished.
If that was the case, then the man before them was clearly an imposter.
Even Chen Yang had to admit, Su Qingxue was cunning.
As long as he couldn’t immediately prove his identity, she would have an excuse to have the Su family’s bodyguards capture him.
At that point, she could twist the truth however she wanted.
Chen Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly, his aura turning lethal. “Too bad. Against absolute strength, all schemes are meaningless.”
Su Qingxue’s heart pounded.
The chilling killing intent in his gaze made her uneasy, but she quickly gestured toward an elder nearby.
“You shouldn’t have come to the Su family.”
The old man placed one hand behind his back. Though dressed simply, he radiated an overwhelming presence.
With each step he took, the cement tiles beneath his feet cracked into spiderweb patterns.
“That’s… Han Qianxi from Jiang City! A martial prodigy in his youth—rumored to be invincible below the grandmaster level!”
“I never expected the Su family to have such a hidden powerhouse. No wonder they’re a family of war gods!”
The crowd murmured in awe as they gazed at the elder.
With Han Qianxi stepping in, these two impostors from the so-called Chen family were doomed.
“And who do you think you are?”
Chen Yang sneered.
Without hesitation, his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, launching straight at the old man.
