Chapter 133: Chapter 122 [Ye Fan Steps In]

"Su Yuxin, are you really foolish, or just pretending to be?"

Originally, Su Feiyu had been sent to jail because of Ye Fan, and although Su Ming had let the Su Family use Ye Fan to connect with the Ye Family for the sake of the bigger picture, choosing to swallow his anger, now that he knew Ye Fan had nothing to do with the Ye Family, he naturally let his internal grievances show. "That guy is nothing but an obscure quack doctor; even if he’s on good terms with Chu Ji, what then? It’s rumored that Chu Ji is closely related to Ye Wenhao and even the Ye Family. To me, she’s at most Ye Wenhao’s mistress. A dirty mistress, hoping to get involved and even change the power dynamics of wealthy families, is that possible??"

For some reason, upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Su Qin slightly raised her eyebrows, while Su Yuxin retorted solemnly, "But don’t forget, it’s also beneficial for Ye Wenhao to clear up our misunderstandings! He wouldn’t want our Su Family to turn to the Bai Family, would he?"

"Yuxin, you’re underestimating Ye Wenhao. As the most powerful contender of the third generation of the Ye Family, Ye Wenhao has a pride beyond common understanding; to him, our Su Family’s influence may really not be as important as his own face! After all, with his capabilities, without our Su Family, he could still support the Zhang Family, the Wang Family, the Li Family!" Su Hongyuan painstakingly advised, "So, we shouldn’t hope to rely on the Ye Family!"

"I also disagree with relying on the Ye Family." Xu Qin spoke again, making her stance clear.

Su Ming scoffed coldly, though he didn’t speak, his earlier words had already made his position clear.

"Yuxin, I know you like Ye Fan."

Su Hongyuan pondered for a moment and said, "To respect your feelings and romantic freedom, Grandfather can allow you to be with Ye Fan before Lin Ao Feng formally proposes marriage—you giving yourself to him, the most precious thing you have, could also be seen as a closure to your relationship."

"Is a relationship just for the sake of being together in a room?"

Hearing Su Hongyuan’s words, Su Yuxin trembled with anger, and laughed bitterly in retort, "Additionally, if I’m not mistaken, your true intention in letting me do this, is to completely cure my illness by being with Ye Fan, right?"

"—"

Su Hongyuan had no words to respond but faced no embarrassment from having his thoughts exposed.

"Su Yuxin, your grandfather is also doing this for your own good; don’t fail to recognize the kindness!"

Su Ming said irritably, "Otherwise, if we wait until Lin Ao Feng formally proposes, even if you agree, Lin Ao Feng will never allow you to be with a man named Ye! Moreover, with that Ye boy’s arrogant character, he probably wouldn’t want to be with you either!"

"It seems that you’re set on making me marry Lin Ao Feng?"

At this point, Su Yuxin was certain of the intentions of Su Hongyuan and the others; any fleeting luck or hope in her heart was instantly extinguished, and her tone also turned icy.

"That’s right!"

Su Ming spoke again, playing the bad cop, "For the life and death of the family clan, your personal feelings can be completely disregarded!"

"Grandfather, you think so too, right?" Su Yuxin said with a tragic smile as she looked at Su Hongyuan.

"Yuxin, Grandfather hopes you can be more rational and make some sacrifices for the family," Su Hongyuan answered indirectly, but his implication was clear.

"I’ve said, I’m already with Ye Fan. I also told Ye Fan that I would stay by his side all my life!"

Su Yuxin slowly stood up, her beautiful face etched with determination, her fists also tightly clenched, "So to make me break my promise and betray him, marrying that scum, I can’t do it!"

"Su Yuxin, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Su Ming burst into rage, "What’s so good about that Ye kid? He’s just a country doctor, knows some medicine, some martial arts. With his ignorant attitude, he will be doomed sooner or later! Do you want to be a widow all your life? And even if you wanted to be a widow, you shouldn’t drag our Su Family into the abyss, right?"

"Whether he’s good or not, it’s none of your business; I just want to be with him!"

Su Yuxin countered sharply, then seeing Su Hongyuan about to speak but stopping himself, she bit her lip and said resolutely, "Grandfather, if you insist I marry that scum, then I don’t mind leaving this family! Once I leave the Su Family, that scum should have nothing to say, right?"

"Yuxin, don’t be impulsive!"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongyuan immediately jumped up from the sofa, clearly he had never imagined that Su Yuxin would actually choose to leave the Su Family for Ye Fan!!

"Grandfather, ever since I was young, whatever you said, I’ve followed your instructions, always striving to do my utmost!"

With tears in her eyes, Su Yuxin looked painfully at Su Hongyuan and said word by word, "As a child, you favored my second uncle’s family; I didn’t blame you because my dad truly wasn’t as capable as my uncle. As I grew up, my uncle’s family bullied ours, and I didn’t blame you because I always felt you would handle it fairly. After my dad died, you focused all your energy on training Su Feiyu, ignoring Jin Emperor; I also didn’t blame you because I knew Jin Emperor was incompetent..."

"Dad, I think there’s no point in talking to her; we might as well find that Ye boy and make him break off his association with Su Yuxin immediately, and get him out of our Su Family!" Su Ming interrupted Su Yuxin’s words, his face darkened.

Because of the innate kindness in Su Yuxin and her respect for Su Hongyuan, no matter how excessive things done by Su Ming’s family were, she always told herself that they are still her relatives. They acted this way only because they feared her family vying for the position of Su Family heir. As long as she and her brother did not compete, eventually swords would be turned into plowshares.

Now, she finally understood that all those were just her fond hopes, like a moon reflected in the water, a flower in the mirror, never to come true!

This made her tremble with rage, her pale face filled with anger!

She wanted to say something, but felt a severe blockage in her chest, almost unable to catch her breath!

"No need to look for me, I am right here!"

Just then, a voice suddenly erupted at the entrance of the hall.

As the voice fell, the person appeared.

Ye Fan entered the hall with furrowed brows, Uncle Fu following not far behind him with an anxious expression—he wanted to stop Ye Fan but was powerless to do so.

What?

Startled by Ye Fan’s appearance, Su Hongyuan, Su Ming, and Su Qin, as well as Su Yuxin, were all taken aback.

Among them, Su Qin looked at Ye Fan with a bit of curiosity, Su Hongyuan had furrowed brows as though considering what to say, and Su Ming coldly asked, "Kid, did you just eavesdrop on our conversation?"

"Master, I..." Uncle Fu hurriedly started to speak, trying to explain something.

"A Fu, you may leave." Su Hongyuan waved his hand.

"Yes!" Uncle Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan dismissed Su Ming’s words as irrelevant, treating the looks from Su Hongyuan and the others as if they were thin air, and walked straight up to Su Yuxin, took her icy hand in his, and while giving warmth and strength, asked, "You don’t want to leave the Su Family, do you?"

"I will not break my promise to you!" Su Yuxin vigorously shook her head, allowing her tears to slide down her face, "For you, I can do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was filled with emotion; he knew that deep down, Su Yuxin didn’t want to leave the home that had raised her for over twenty years, but for his sake, she could bear the pain of leaving!

"Don’t cry, leave this matter to me." Ye Fan reached out, gently wiping the tears from Su Yuxin’s face, only to find that his wiping couldn’t keep up with the pace of the falling tears.

"Honestly, at first, if it hadn’t been for Chu Ji telling me that taking on the task of treating Yuxin’s illness would allow me to live a mundane life for a while, and that my master would fully support me in investigating a certain matter after completing the task, even if you had invited me with great ceremony, I would not have come!"

Ye Fan looked expressionlessly at Su Hongyuan and the others, and said word by word, "As for now, if it weren’t for Yuxin still caring about the Su Family, even if you knelt and begged, I wouldn’t stay!"

"What did you say?" Su Ming was uncontrollably furious.

"Perhaps, you think the Su Family is Jiangnan’s foremost commercial clan, impressively beyond my reach, but in reality, in my eyes, the Su Family means nothing!" Ye Fan said with a cold sneer.

"What are you? What right do you have to rant here?" Su Ming, fully angered, pointed at Ye Fan, "Get out! Get out right now!"

"Young man, being too arrogant is not a good thing." Perhaps because Ye Fan’s attitude was too arrogant, even Xu Qin frowned, somewhat unable to continue watching.

"Ye Fan, I admit, you’ve done a lot for Yuxin and our Su Family, but isn’t it too much for you to speak of our family like this?" Finally, Su Hongyuan spoke, looking at Ye Fan with deep displeasure.

Clearly, at this point, the young man he had once secretly tried to please and ingratiate himself with had greatly diminished in importance in his eyes, his only remaining value being that he could cure Su Yuxin’s illness.

"You also said, I’ve done quite a few things for the Su Family. Let me tell you, I could just as easily make the Su Family sit firmly as Jiangnan’s number one commercial clan as I could make it completely fall!"

Ye Fan looked contemptuously at Su Hongyuan and the others, saying, "Originally, because of your ingratitude, I was planning to do so. But... because Yuxin still has feelings for the Su Family and wants to stay in this home, I can give you one chance!"

"Hey, ignorant kid, you’re not afraid the wind will lash your tongue!" This time, Su Ming laughed angrily, thinking Ye Fan was just talking big without consequence.

"Although I won’t do anything against the Su Family, I hope you understand, unless Yuxin wishes it herself, no one can make me leave her!"

Ye Fan ignored Su Ming’s provocation, his gaze sweeping from Su Ming and Su Qin, finally resting on Su Hongyuan, "You can’t, Nanqinghong can’t, the Bai Family can’t, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn’t work!"

"Er..."

Perhaps because Ye Fan’s words were too audacious, or maybe because he said all this with too much confidence, for a moment, Su Hongyuan, Su Ming, and Su Qin were all somewhat startled.

Su Yuxin laughed, her tears streaming down her face.

She was grateful that her choice was right, even more grateful to be Ye Fan’s woman! (To be continued.
