Chapter 132: Chapter 121 [Final Resolution]

The sky darkened, night descended, and the once quiet Jiuxi Rose Garden Noble District bustled with activity. The previously deserted roads began to see a stream of luxury and sports cars coming and going.

Among them, most of the cars leaving were sports cars, and their owners were often the mistresses kept by affluent individuals—on days when their benefactors were away, they usually went to nightclubs and casinos to pass their tedious time.

On the other hand, most entering cars were luxury vehicles, primarily owned by the elite of Hanghu and even Jiangnan Province. They lived in Jiuxi Rose Garden with their families rather than keeping a mistress there.

Among the cars coming and going, a new model Audi A6L seemed quite inconspicuous, but anyone who saw the license plate had to respect it—the plates were registered to Dong hai Municipal Committee, and they indicated a high rank.

In the night, the Audi A6L made its way along the noble district’s roads and arrived at Su Family’s No.1 Villa, smoothly entering the compound.

The car stopped and the door opened, Su Qin stepped out from the vehicle.

Bathed in the light from the villa’s garage, one could see that Su Qin wore a light yellow suit tonight, with a white shirt underneath and a black skirt below. On her feet were a pair of black high heels. The heels were not too thin, and not more than five centimeters tall, in a style that exposed the top of the foot, revealing her jade feet sheathed in black stockings.

After getting out of the car, Su Qin, carrying an unassuming LV purse, walked straight to the villa’s main building. Her pace was neither hurried nor slow. The sound of her high heels clicking against the marble floor was rhythmical, matching the unintentional sway of her hips. Paired with her unique aura of a female cadre, it instilled a sense of awe among the Su’s bodyguards, as if they could only admire from afar, daring not to defile.

This feeling was even more profound than when they saw Su Yuxin—no man could resist the desire to conquer a beautiful mid-level official in her forties.

Besides, although Su Qin was nearing her forties, she was well maintained—both her face and figure appeared to that of a woman in her thirties.

Just as Su Qin entered the main building of Su Family’s No.1 Villa, after having dinner in Su Family’s No.2 Villa, Su Yuxin stood up, intending to head for Su Family’s No.1 Villa.

"Shall I come with you?" Ye Fan suggested upon seeing this.

Su Yuxin shook her head gently, "No need, I’ll go by myself."

"Alright."

Ye Fan nodded, but once Su Yuxin left the villa, he couldn’t help but follow quietly behind her.

When Su Yuxin arrived at Su Family’s No.1 Villa, Su Hongyuan, Su Ming, and Su Qin were in the midst of a discussion. Upon her entrance, they stopped talking in unison and turned their attention to Su Yuxin.

"Grandfather, Second Uncle, Aunt." Su Yuxin greeted each in turn, her expression no longer as sorrowful as in the afternoon but like her usual self at the company, utterly frosty.

"Yuxin, take a seat," Su Hongyuan gestured to a sofa nearby, while contemplating how to persuade Su Yuxin.

Su Yuxin sat silently on the sofa, waiting for Su Hongyuan to speak.

"Yuxin, your grandfather told me you rejected the marriage without even understanding the specifics?" Su Ming spoke first, in a reproachful tone, "How can you be so impulsive?"

Ignoring him, Su Yuxin dismissed Su Ming’s words completely, infuriating Su Ming, who was about to retort but was silenced by a look from Su Hongyuan.

"Yuxin, I’ve already explained the general situation to your uncle and aunt, now let me discuss it with you," Su Hongyuan hesitated a moment, then said, "First, let me tell you about Lin Ao Feng in detail. Lin Ao Feng is the only son of Lin Tianyi, the head of Qinghong Group’s Huaxia Region; he and his father, Lin Tianyi, are citizens of the American Alliance. Qinghong Group is one of the top 100 large global corporations, with industries all over the world."

"Grandfather, are you trying to tell me that if I marry that scum, it will benefit the Su Family, right?" Su Yuxin interjected. Her words were harsh, but her tone remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

After a brief silence, Su Hongyuan nodded, "That’s one reason."

"What else?"

Su Yuxin was laughing, her smile full of self-deprecation, as if using it to express her most genuine feelings.

"Secondly, the business Qinghong Group operates in Huaxia is no less vast than the other Five Great Alliances’ and has secured a certain level of support from the top, particularly strong backing from the Bai Family." Observing Su Yuxin’s self-deprecating smile, Su Hongyuan was even more convinced of Su Yuxin’s stance, but he continued, "Meaning, if you were to marry Lin Ao Feng, the Su Family would gain not just the support of Qinghong Group but also the Bai Family’s backing. And you must have heard just how powerful the Bai Family is in Huaxia."

"So after all has been said and done, grandfather, you’re determined to marry me off to that scum as a bargaining chip for the family’s benefit, correct?" Su Yuxin spoke slowly, showing almost no emotional fluctuation.

Seeing Su Yuxin in such a state, Su Hongyuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat sympathetic, yet even more concerned, worried that Su Yuxin was resolute in her refusal.

"Yuxin, how can you speak to your grandfather like that? What do you mean by being used as a bargaining chip for the clan’s benefit?"

As Su Hongyuan remained silent, an annoyed Su Ming said, "We’re doing this for your own good! In terms of looks, family background, and ability, how is Lin Ao Feng not worthy of you?"

"Heh, for my own good?"

Su Yuxin laughed once more, as if she had just heard the world’s coldest joke. She calmly looked at Su Ming, who had always oppressed her family, and said softly, "Second Uncle, do you understand who Lin Ao Feng is? Do you know his character?"

"Uh..."

Su Ming was left speechless.

"You don’t know, but I do. To my knowledge, Lin Ao Feng is nothing but scum. To practice some demon technique, he’s been engaging in yin and yang rituals, harming countless women, and among them, most are underage girls."

Perhaps it was because Lin Ao Feng’s actions were simply too egregious, Su Yuxin’s tone grew increasingly angry, "And, before he proposed to Grandpa, his people almost crippled Jin Emperor—Jin Emperor is still bandaged up to this day!"

Su Ming fell silent once more. In recent times, he had been in Dong hai developing the Su Family’s market and was oblivious to these matters.

"To think you would say that marrying a scum and a degenerate who hurt my brother is for my own good—how can you even say such things!" Perhaps Su Yuxin found Su Ming’s words too aggravating, her own words sharp as they came out.

"How can you speak to me like that?"

Although Su Ming did not understand much about Lin Ao Feng, and even though he couldn’t refute Su Yuxin’s words, he was suddenly infuriated when she started blaming him.

"Enough!"

Seeing how things were escalating, Su Hongyuan quickly intervened. After the two stopped arguing, he continued, "Yuxin, the two reasons I mentioned earlier are not why I agreed to the proposal. The main reason is, during our covert operation to bring down the He Family, the Ye Family stirred the waters from behind, taking Han Guodong of the Bai Family Faction down. This indirectly offended the Bai Family! Unable to fight the Ye Family, the Bai Family chose to swallow their anger, but that doesn’t mean they won’t vent their frustration on our Su Family! If the Bai Family were to retaliate, it would be a disaster for our Su Family! But if you agreed to marry Lin Ao Feng, none of this would happen!"

"We could ally ourselves with the Ye Family and seek their protection. As far as I know, Ye Wenhao came here to Jiangnan to make his mark. For that, he wouldn’t refuse us, whether it’s in the interest of the overall advantage of the Ye Family or for his personal political achievements," Su Yuxin said pointedly.

Hearing this, Su Hongyuan gave a wry smile, "Yuxin, do you think I don’t want to do that? Honestly, if we could take refuge under the Ye Family, I would refuse Lin Ao Feng’s proposal without hesitation! But the problem is, we’ve already offended the Ye Family, or rather, we’ve already offended Ye Wenhao!"

"How did we offend him?" Su Yuxin asked, puzzled.

"A few days ago, at the Jiangnan Province investment invitation conference, I sent you along with Ye Fan to gauge his relationship with the Ye Family. As a result, Ye Wenhao thought our Su Family disrespected him, and afterward, his secretary called specifically to scold and warn me," Su Hongyuan confessed, "These past few days, because of this, I’ve been unable to eat or sleep. At a critical moment like this, if we refuse Lin Ao Feng’s proposal, we would offend Qinghong Group behind him, and also provoke the Bai Family’s retaliation. This way, our Su Family’s downfall would be a certainty!"

Su Yuxin’s brow quirked slightly; she didn’t know about the call Ye Wenhao’s secretary had made to Su Hongyuan,

"Yuxin, Grandpa watched you grow up, and you’ve put in so much effort for the advancement of our Su Family. I imagine you wouldn’t want to see the effort of generations of our family go to waste, would you?" Su Hongyuan reasoned and appealed to her emotions.

"Grandpa, I acknowledge your reasoning, but aren’t you afraid that by acting this way, Lin Ao Feng will swallow our Su Family?" Su Yuxin asked with a frown.

"He can’t swallow us," Su Qin finally spoke up, her voice not loud but her tone left no room for doubt.

Hmm?

Su Yuxin was slightly taken aback; she was perplexed about the source of Su Qin’s confidence.

"Yuxin, I can not only ensure Lin Ao Feng won’t be able to swallow our Su Family, I can also guarantee he won’t dare to do anything excessive to you!" Su Qin spoke again, the confidence still evident on her face.

"Little aunt, although I don’t know where your confidence comes from, I will tentatively believe your words."

Su Yuxin turned her gaze back to Su Hongyuan, her frown deepening, "But this matter also concerns my personal feelings and future marital life!"

"Compared to the entire clan, what do your feelings and marital life matter?" Su Ming glared at Su Yuxin, displeasure on his face, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, "If I’m not mistaken, your refusal is because you’ve fallen for that lad named Ye Fan, right?"

"Yes, it’s because I love him—we’re already together!"

Noticing the fleeting hatred in Su Ming’s eyes, Su Yuxin spoke with gravity, "And I have made a promise to him in his presence—to be with him for a lifetime!"

"To be with him for a lifetime? Su Yuxin, can you be any more childish?" Su Ming laughed scornfully, "I just heard your grandfather mention that the kid has a serious conflict with Lin Ao Feng. Given that, Lin Ao Feng will surely seek revenge! It remains a question if he can even survive, let alone promises of a lifetime together—it’s utterly ridiculous!"

"Ye Fan was recommended by Lady Chu, and he seems to have a good relationship with her, and Lady Chu has a good relationship with Ye Wenhao."

Su Yuxin articulated slowly, "We can have Ye Fan approach Lady Chu, asking her to mediate and resolve our little conflict with Ye Wenhao. That way, we’ll be able to take refuge under the Ye Family. By then, neither Qinghong Group nor the Bai Family would dare to touch our Su Family!"

Hmm?

The sister has a good relationship with Ye Wenhao?

Hearing this, Ye Fan lurking in the shadows by the window, couldn’t help but feel startled.
