Chapter 679: Chapter 680: Getting Married Tomorrow

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan looked out the window and saw that the inside and outside of the Su Family were bustling with activity.

"It seems like they’re preparing for a wedding," Miao Xuanxuan whispered.

Miao Qingqing frowned and said, "A wedding at the Su Family now? Weren’t they extremely tense just a few days ago?"

"Who knows," responded Miao Xuanxuan.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the two turned to see their aunt, Su Yuya, who hadn’t shown herself since their arrival.

With a soft sigh, Su Yuya said, "Tomorrow... you two are getting married."

"Us... getting married?" Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes widened as she exclaimed.

Su Yuya nodded and said, "Yes, to two men from the Sun family."

"We don’t agree!" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan cried out in unison.

Shaking her head gently, Su Yuya said, "This matter is no longer about whether you agree or not. It has become the ultimate showdown between the Su-Sun families and Song Xiaodong. You could say you’re bait, or perhaps bargaining chips."

Miao Qingqing’s brow furrowed, "I see. By doing this, you’re forcing Dongzi to show himself, pressuring him into direct confrontation with both families."

"Exactly, Song Xiaodong has become a severe threat to our two major clans. This is no longer just a matter of face. If we don’t eliminate him, our Su and Sun families will suffer enormous losses. So... he must die!"

When Su Yuya spoke these words, her tone carried a certain chill.

At that moment, Miao Qingqing actually laughed. It started with a small smile, then blossomed into a radiant one, while Miao Xuanxuan, initially stunned, soon joined in the laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Yuya frowned.

Miao Qingqing replied, "Auntie, by doing this, you’re obviously scared of Dongzi. You’re not sure yourselves, so you’re forcing him into a situation where he can only advance, not retreat."

With a cold laugh, Su Yuya said, "The Su Family afraid of him? He just disgusts us, but you’re right; we want him where he has no choice but to advance. Of course, if he doesn’t care about you, that would be a different scene altogether. Whether he comes or not... that will reveal how important you are to him."

The smile on Miao Qingqing’s face grew, "Dongzi will definitely come, but your two families’ wishes may not necessarily come true. Have you considered how big the loss to your families would be if you fail?"

"Fail? Impossible! Not to mention Su Zhentian from our Su Family, whose Kung Fu is unparalleled. He had already crippled Song Xiaodong last time. Then there’s Sun One from the Sun family, who is equally formidable. With these two masters in charge, along with countless other experts, do you really think Song Xiaodong has a chance of leaving alive?"

Miao Qingqing said, "Nothing is absolute in this world. If you were really so confident, you wouldn’t need to contrive such a situation. Don’t worry about watching over us here; we won’t seek death because we believe Dongzi will defeat you decisively, and take us away safe and sound."

Miao Xuanxuan smirked and chimed in, "In the end, Dongzi will be victorious. The Su Family... is nothing compared to him!"

Su Yuya looked at them and suddenly laughed, "You two remind me of my younger self. Back then, I believed my man was the most formidable in the world. But as time passed, I realized he was just an ordinary man among the masses. I’m your aunt; of course, I don’t wish to see you fall into a pit of fire. I came here today primarily to offer you a bit of help. If Song Xiaodong dies tomorrow, I can help you escape the Su Family."

Surprised, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan looked at Su Yuya.

With a slight smile, Su Yuya said, "I’m a member of the Su Family, so naturally, I see all enemies of the Su Family as my enemies too. However, you are my nieces, and I wouldn’t want to see you married off to idiots. This is the only thing I can do."

Initially harboring intense animosity towards Su Yuya, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan felt their hostility lessen, and Miao Qingqing said, "Thank you, aunt, for caring. I can also assure you that if the Su Family collapses in the future, the Song family will ensure you are not affected."

Su Yuya chuckled, "Alright then, enough said. Look after yourselves."

After Su Yuya left, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan fell into silence. In the presence of Su Yuya, they had not wanted to diminish Song Xiaodong’s momentum, yet they were well aware that this time, Song Xiaodong might truly be facing a crisis.

But now, they were truly helpless, with nothing to do but wait and hope that the next day Song Xiaodong would perform a miracle.

............

This was absolutely the least wedding-like wedding scene ever.

The wedding between the Su and Sun families, which was supposed to be a union of two major clans, should have been a festive event with numerous guests.

Yet the reality was, within the Su Family Courtyard, apart from members of the Su and Sun families, there seemed to be no outside guests at all.

Moreover, the entire courtyard was heavily guarded, with experts from both families stationed everywhere. In addition to those visible, many more were concealed.

The patriarchs of the Su Family and the Sun Family stood side by side, both with somber expressions. By the side of the Patriarch of the Sun Family stood two young men in suits.

The two seemed clueless, one sucking on a lollipop and the other occasionally dribbling saliva. They were the would-be bridegrooms.

Using such idiots to marry Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan had only one purpose: to provoke Song Xiaodong, forcing him to take action.

The Old Master of the Su Family looked at the two numbskulls and frowned, but he waved his hand and ordered, "Bring the two girls over."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, not dressed in any ceremonial wedding attire, but rather in their usual casual clothes, came out of the small building they hadn’t been allowed to leave.

Seeing the scene outside, Miao Xuanxuan suddenly snickered and said, "Sister, look at them, ready for battle. This really shows how high regard they have for Dongzi."

Miao Qingqing wore a faint smile, "Yes, they are frightened of Dongzi."

Snorting, Miao Xuanxuan added, "The more they act this way, the more it shows their lack of confidence. I really look forward to seeing Dongzi beat them to a pulp."

"He definitely will," Miao Qingqing affirmed, clenching her fist tightly.

"Yes! He definitely will!" Miao Xuanxuan also clenched her fist in determination.
