Chapter 768: Chapter 769 It Turns Out to Be His Man

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaoyue was somewhat stunned. Su Qingmiao’s words had given her quite a shock. Could Su Qingmiao really be coming to help her? It seemed like she didn’t have much of a relationship with him, and she was pretty much grasping at straws.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyue’s expression, Sun Zilang misunderstood and scoffed, saying, "That kid Su Qingmiao won’t stick his neck out for someone irrelevant like you just because he knows I’m here."

Li Quan also felt a sense of relief. He was just worried that Su Qingmiao would clash with Sun Zilang, in which case he would be the unluckiest one.

Qiao Bin was thinking along the same lines as Li Quan at the moment. He had only intended to curry favor with Sun Zilang and hadn’t thought about getting involved in the strife between the Su and Sun families.

Cheng Xiaoyue’s mouth twitched as she said, "The Sixth Young Master said he’s on his way here now."

"What? He’s coming?" Li Quan and Qiao Bin both exclaimed in disbelief.

Sun Zilang also froze for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. "I truly did not expect Su Qingmiao to take a stand for you. It seems the two of you have a not-so-shallow relationship."

Cheng Xiaoyue herself was a bit puzzled. Her relationship with Su Qingmiao surely wasn’t that strong. She really didn’t know why Su Qingmiao came so readily, and at this moment, she had no idea how to respond.

"Hey, Qiao Bin, what’s her relationship with the Sixth Young Master Su?" Li Quan asked Qiao Bin with wide eyes.

Qiao Bin cracked a smile and said, "No idea. Her coming down to Minghe was all thanks to me. Just yesterday, we had a charity auction, and the Sixth Young Master was there for a while, but I didn’t see him exchange a word with her."

"Then why would Su Qingmiao take a stand for her?" Sun Zilang asked, clearly annoyed.

"Oh, right, she knows a doctor, also from Tiannan. That doctor seems to have treated Su Qingmiao a while back. Just now, she called a deputy director from the Su Family Hospital, a girl named Lin Su’er. It must have been through that connection she reached the Sixth Young Master Su," Qiao Bin explained.

Sun Zilang’s face darkened as he said, "That’s quite a roundabout way."

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, the voice of Sun Zilang’s bodyguard came from outside the door.

Immediately after, Su Qingmiao’s cursing could be heard: "Stop your mother! Get lost, I’m here to find Sun Seven!" Everyone in the room was taken aback; Su Qingmiao had arrived incredibly fast, less than ten minutes after the phone call.

Right after, the door was pushed open and Su Qingmiao stormed in. The bodyguards at the doorway were holding each other back, clearly between those brought by Su Qingmiao and Sun Zilang’s.

"I say, Su Xiaoliu, did you get here on jet-propelled legs or something?" Sun Zilang remained seated, taunting without moving.

Su Qingmiao glanced at Cheng Xiaoyue, and seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Xiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward to meet Su Qingmiao and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sixth Young Master, for coming to help me."

"That’s what I should do!" Su Qingmiao slapped his chest and said, "Don’t worry, with me here, Sun Seven wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you."

Cheng Xiaoyue felt somewhat elated. Just yesterday, she had witnessed Su Qingmiao’s imposing presence, and how he completely disregarded the rich young masters like Qiao Bin. And now, for her, he had charged into this place so angrily—it was genuinely surprising.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Su Qingmiao said, "Sun Seven, you really have some nerve, daring to touch a member of the Su Family."

"Your Su Family people? You say she’s one of your Su Family? Are you mistaken?" Sun Zilang frowned. If what Su Qingmiao claimed was true, then it was indeed his mistake.

It was normal for the two families to skirmish covertly, but there were limits. Members of the families were off-limits—unless they were just ordinary subordinates, who didn’t really count as members of the Su Family. Only direct members, or family guards of the Su Family, were truly considered part of the Su Family.

Su Qingmiao glared and said, "Nonsense!"

Sun Zilang sneered and retorted, "Don’t try to scare me here, Su Xiaoliu. As for the Su Family people, my Sun Family has full details on them. If she, Cheng Xiaoyue, is one of our people, unless she’s your woman, eh Su Xiaoliu? But unless she’s through the door, she doesn’t count as a Su Family person. What’s wrong with me playing a bit?"

"Playing?" Su Qingmiao’s face suddenly darkened as he said, "Sun Seven, you dare utter that, I can assure you, you’ll die a miserable death."

Sun Zilang slammed the arm of the sofa and stood up furiously, glaring and shouting, "Damn it! Who the hell do you think you’re scaring, Su Xiaoliu! Am I, Sun Zilang, supposed to be afraid of you? I’d like to see how you’re going to take her from here."

Su Qingmiao was equally unyielding, sneering as he said, "I’m taking her away today, and if you’ve got the guts, just try to stop us. I want to see how many heads you’ve grown, Sun Seven!"

The bodyguards rushed in, aligning themselves next to each of the two men, staring menacingly at each other.

Li Quan and Qiao Bin were both scared out of their wits by now, realizing that they had stirred up a hornet’s nest, and that the situation was even more fierce than they had anticipated.

Cheng Xiaoyue was entirely dumbfounded by the extent of Su Qingmiao’s support. Looking at the situation, she felt uneasy and quickly said, "Sixth Young Master, forget it. I haven’t been harmed; let’s just leave."

"This... Well, okay then." Su Qingmiao agreed, but he clearly seemed somewhat unwilling, accepting Cheng Xiaoyue’s request with reluctance.

"I haven’t said you can leave yet, and you’re already planning your exit? There’s no door for that," said Sun Zilang with a grim face.

"Damn it! Sun Seven, you really don’t know when to appreciate what’s given to you. Today, not even your father here would dare stop me, and here you are, as if looking for death at an untimely moment."

"What?" Sun Zilang, although enraged, was startled by this statement—a sign that Su Qingmiao must truly have substantial backup, implying that Cheng Xiaoyue’s status in the Su Family was genuinely high.

Wait... Sun Zilang suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying and asked anxiously, "She’s a Tiannan person, could she be Song... Song... ’s person?"

Su Qingmiao sneered and said, "Sun Seven, you’re not completely stupid after all."

Sun Zilang’s face turned pale, sweat pouring down his forehead as he collapsed onto the sofa, legs giving out from under him.
