Chapter 239: Chapter 329: Digging a Pit

Zheng Yun is quite a woman of substance.

Putting aside Zheng Yun’s character, sometimes Wan Chu’er really admires her. A mere daughter of a housekeeper, yet she can navigate herself with ease and converse merrily among many dignified old masters. She indeed possesses considerable ability.

If she were in that position, she would definitely not be able to do it.

Seeing Zheng Yun’s arrival, Elder Su’s face lit up with an even wider smile.

"Seeing you and Xiao Hui together here is a rare occasion; my birthday has brought both of you together. Anyone who looks at the two of you would call it a perfect match. Just now, we were talking about when you and Yan Hui will settle down. Don’t forget to let this old fellow have a couple of drinks when the time comes."

If these two were to get married, it’s highly likely that the old commander would attend, considering they grew up by his side.

Zheng Yun timely showed a bashful smile and said, "Yan Hui and I haven’t gotten to that stage yet."

Elder Su sighed inwardly about Yan Hui and his own granddaughter, but still smiled and said, "No mistake, no mistake."

Zheng Yun skillfully changed the subject, "Grandpa Su, it’s getting late, and many guests have arrived outside. They all want to come in and celebrate your birthday. Should we let them in, or should the younger crowd stay a bit longer for some banter?"

What a skilful way to phrase it, Wan Chu’er thought to herself, surely she knows how to speak.

Elder Su said, "It’s not often that you young people get together; have a good time. There’s no need for anything grand for an old man’s birthday. Just being here today is celebration enough."

"Xiao Mei, you should learn more from Xiao Yun and Xiao Hui. If you can pick up half of what they have, that will be enough for your lifetime." Elder Su advised his granddaughter further, "Now, you must play the gracious host on behalf of your grandfather and take good care of the guests. Off you go."

Su Xiaomei, feeling as if she’d been pardoned, quickly pulled Zheng Yun and said to Yan Hui and Wan Chu’er, "Brother Yan, Wan Chu’er, let’s go out and play. We shouldn’t bother the grandpas here."

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, and Yan Hui didn’t move.

They thought they could dismiss her with a few words!

Too bad they misjudged the person!

Reborn once more, Wan Chu’er told herself to live freely, to follow her heart, and not to bend over backward to preserve so-called big picture and face.

Su Xiaomei’s heart skipped a beat.

Zheng Yun quickly reached out to grab Wan Chu’er’s arm, "Miss Wan, this must be your first time attending such a gathering, right? There are a lot of fun things outside, let’s go take a look."

Wan Chu’er dodged Zheng Yun’s hand with a quick sidestep and said aloud, "I still have unfinished business and grievances yet to be aired."

At her words, at least half of the people in the banquet hall heard and turned to look.

The seated old men pressed their lips together.

Unbelievably naive!

Elder Su huffed and said, "If this young lady has something to say, then say it." Yet his face showed displeasure.

Wan Chu’er stated, "I’ll cut a long story short then. This Miss Zheng has slandered me, accusing me of seducing her boyfriend, Mr. Yan Hui. In reality, Mr. Yan Hui despises Miss Zheng and is unwilling to have any relationship with her. However, your granddaughter Su Xiaomei, for Miss Zheng’s sake, posted an article online without discerning the truth, slandering and blackening my name.

Although the school has rendered a decision for your granddaughter to apologize to me, unfortunately, she ran away directly.

So I had no choice but to come here to find you. As her grandfather, you should be aware of what your granddaughter did for Miss Zheng Yun.

Since everybody is here today, let’s clear this up in front of witnesses. Have your granddaughter apologize to me, and in the future, don’t let her associate with Miss Zheng. Otherwise, who knows what trouble might find her.

Otherwise, Miss Zheng might even implicate you, Elder Su, causing you to tarnish your reputation in your twilight years."

Wan Chu’er didn’t care to continue the back-and-forth and blurted out everything in rapid succession, giving them no opportunity to interrupt.

After hearing her words, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

Old Sir Su’s face turned dark, and the other elders also didn’t look too pleased.

Zheng Yun’s face turned pale, and Su Xiaomei started to panic.

Others who were paying attention to this scene gasped, thinking Wan Chu’er was incredibly audacious.

Where did this clueless fool come from!

To make such an accusation against Grandpa Su’s granddaughter on the Su Family’s turf was clearly inviting disgrace upon oneself!

Everyone thought Wan Chu’er was crazy, just a pretty vase with no substance.

In the midst of the silence, suddenly a voice cried out in approval, "Good!"

Everyone swiftly turned their gazes to the other clueless fool who had shouted.

The one applauding was Xiao Bai, who, upon seeing everyone looking his way, sheepishly said, "I think what this beautiful lady said is really good."

The crowd rolled their eyes and quickly turned their attention back towards Wan Chu’er and Old Sir Su.

After a moment of silence, Elder Su asked Yan Hui, "Xiao Hui, this lady is your guest. What do you think about what she said?"

Yan Hui nodded graciously and then replied warmly, "I think what Wan Chu’er said is quite right."

Wham—

Everyone staggered almost falling over.

They must have come here to cause trouble.

Some people remembered that the fool who had applauded earlier had entered with them.

This was a premeditated disruption.

Elder Su nodded and then turned to ask his own granddaughter, "Xiao Mei, is what Miss Wan said true? Do you owe her an apology?"

Su Xiaomei could definitely feel her grandfather’s anger and started to panic, but she was reluctant to admit it. Did she really have to apologize to Wan Chu’er right here?

That would be even worse than apologizing at school to Wan Chu’er yesterday!

If she apologized here, where would the Su Family’s face be left?

Seeing Su Xiaomei’s troubled silence, Zheng Yun interjected, speaking calmly:

"Grandpa Su, I’m aware of the posting incident Miss Wan mentioned. The post Xiao Mei made wasn’t slander; she was merely stating the truth. I don’t think Xiao Mei needs to apologize to Miss Wan Chu’er."

Wan Chu’er sneered, "Zheng Yun, this matter has been decided by the school. The investigation is already clear on what the facts are; there’s no need for you to twist the truth here."

Zheng Yun scoffed and replied, "I’ve heard that Miss Wan is an orphan, so she hasn’t been taught and doesn’t know what politeness is. This is Grandpa Su’s birthday banquet, not a place for you to throw a tantrum."

Another old man took the opportunity to say, "You can’t force someone to have manners, Elder Su. Your security isn’t doing their job, letting just anyone in."

At that moment, a middle-aged man approached and said, "I’m sorry, Miss Wan, today is the old master’s birthday banquet. Your matters with Xiao Mei and Miss Zheng Yun could perhaps be discussed elsewhere, let’s not disturb the peace of the elders."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Wan Chu’er.

The man looked skilled in martial arts, but Yan Hui extended his hand to block him.

Wan Chu’er, with sharp eyes, noticed someone entering the door and yelled, "Old Man Zhong, someone’s saying your granddaughter lacks manners since she’s without parents!"
