Chapter 771: Chapter 0771: Bring Him Here

However, for safety’s sake, he still planned to dispatch a martial master to oversee the situation, lest the three girls cause trouble with firearms again, which he would be unable to handle.

After bidding farewell to Qi Bikou, Sun Zhuangjia immediately drove to the Su Family residence.

Although the roots of the Su Family were not in the provincial capital, they still owned fixed property there, which was a testament to the Su Family’s strength.

In an ancient and grand villa, Grandfather Su sat in the study sipping tea, smilingly recalling everything that had happened today. His attendance at the party was solely to give face to the Sun Family, but unexpectedly, he met Su Xiaoxi’s boyfriend there—such a talented and promising young man.

Originally, Grandfather Su had other plans concerning Su Xiaoxi’s marriage but had not made any decisions yet because he didn’t want to force her. But now that Su Xiaoxi had a boyfriend, and seeing that he was so young and promising, the matter had to be handled properly.

"Grandfather, what are you thinking about?"

While skillfully making tea, Su Xiaoxi tentatively asked. Since returning from the party, Grandfather Su had been sitting alone in contemplation, paying no attention to her matters, making her feel increasingly uneasy.

Knowing her grandfather well, not to mention herself, even women from collateral branches of the Su Family involved in marital affairs were very much his concern. He would never allow the women of the Su Family to engage carelessly, strictly preventing any situation that could damage the Family’s reputation.

Yet, now that she and Tang Ming had suddenly made their relationship public in front of so many people, Grandfather Su had remained calm, which made Su Xiaoxi feel extremely uneasy.

"I was thinking, my granddaughter is truly clever and agile."

Grandfather Su smiled faintly, looking at Su Xiaoxi as he spoke softly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi’s hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea spilled. Did Grandfather know that she had hired Tang Ming as a shield?

"Look, just as I praised your cleverness and your increasingly adept tea-making skills, you made a mistake. It seems I really shouldn’t praise my granddaughter too much."

Grandfather Su couldn’t help but laugh.

"Grandfather, you’re mean."

Realizing that Grandfather Su was just teasing her, Su Xiaoxi began to coo shyly, immediately feeling a relief.

"Xiaoxi, you’re my granddaughter, you should choose your own happiness. You’re different from other Su Family women; I just want to see you happy and won’t force you to do anything."

Grandfather Su looked at Su Xiaoxi with doting eyes, pridefully proclaiming, "Any man you set your eyes on, even if he is a commoner, our Su Family has the capacity to elevate him to an extremely high rank. Especially a man as excellent as Tang Xin, who exceeds my expectations, only such a man can be worthy of my granddaughter."

Grandfather Su spoke ambiguously. In fact, Tang Xin was already highly influential, a high-level member of the Dark Group and not enough to impress Grandfather Su, but the position of Group Leader in the Martial Arts Inspection Team was another matter. Even Grandfather Su had to take it seriously since it was a result recommended by the top leaders of the Dark Group and the Military Department. Once deployed, the power at his fingertips would be enough to dominate the martial arts world, making even Su Xiaoxi a reach for him.

"I knew Grandfather loved me the most. If I had known you thought this way earlier, I would have told you about Tang Xin sooner."

Hearing Grandfather Su’s words, Su Xiaoxi burst into happy laughter.

Little did she know, all this was a decision made by Grandfather Su after deep consideration. If Tang Ming had truly been worthless, Grandfather Su probably would have made him vanish from the world at the earliest opportunity, certainly not allowing him to delay Su Xiaoxi’s happiness.

"Grandfather Su, are you there?"

Just then, Sun Zhuangjia’s figure appeared from outside.

"Come in, the door isn’t locked." Recognizing it was Sun Zhuangjia’s voice, Mr. Su felt a sense of helplessness.

Originally, he had quite admired Sun Zhuangjia and the Sun Family. Although they could not compare with the prominent families in Capital City, fortunately, they were also a major family in West Sea Province. If it truly could lead to a marriage alliance, then the Su Family would have a strong ally outside Capital City.

However, now the entire Sun Family could not compare to Tang Xin, a group leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team. He could only apologize to the Sun Family.

"Grandfather Su, I brought you a cake of fine Pu’er tea, specially for you to taste," said Sun Zhuangjia as he walked in with a gift box, greeting Mr. Su respectfully, then looked at Su Xiaoxi with surprise, "Xiaoxi is here too."

"Why are you still coming here? You see, I have a boyfriend now, so please don’t bother me anymore."

Su Xiaoxi had no fond feelings for Sun Zhuangjia, especially since he almost succeeded in forcing her into marriage; she disliked him even more now.

"Xiaoxi, what you’re saying isn’t right,"

Sun Zhuangjia scolded her, glancing at Su Xiaoxi critically, and said earnestly, "Even if you have a boyfriend, it doesn’t affect my intention to show respect to Grandfather Su. Our Sun Family and the Su Family are still good friends, and we’ve always been childhood friends."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi pouted. Although she didn’t want to admit it, what Sun Zhuangjia said made sense. Rejecting him outright would make her seem inconsiderate.

"Well said."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxi looked unhappy, Mr. Su laughed and spoke cheerfully, "I’ve watched Zhuangjia grow up, and the two of you have always had a good relationship, like siblings. You should continue to support and care for each other going forward."

"That’s right,"

Sun Zhuangjia nodded repeatedly and sighed, "I used to think about marrying Xiaoxi, but now that Xiaoxi has someone she loves, I can only give up for now. But I will wait patiently, and if that guy dares to wrong Xiaoxi, I, Sun Zhuangjia, will be the first to not let him off."

"Hmph, he’s very good to me, so you don’t need to wait,"

Su Xiaoxi scoffed.

"Is that so?"

Sun Zhuangjia smiled, looking at the old man and said, "Grandfather Su, that party was too chaotic, and Xiaoxi’s boyfriend came over. I wasn’t able to host him properly. Why don’t we invite him over for a proper meeting, see his talents for ourselves, otherwise, I really can’t accept this loss."

"You make a good point. The scene was indeed too chaotic last time, and it was all so rushed; I didn’t even get a good look at Tang Xin’s face,"

Mr. Su’s eyes lit up as he said with a smile, "That settles it! Xiaoxi, call Tang Xin, have him come over and join me for tea, and he can stay for dinner tonight."

"Is that really a good idea?" As soon as she heard this, Su Xiaoxi’s expression fell.

That Tang Xin had seemed too perfect before, and now she didn’t even know if it had been Tang Ming pretending to be him. If it were Tang Ming’s pretense, that was one thing, but if Tang Xin really existed, she did not even have his contact information.
