Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Lu Yunxi Regrets It _1

"Uncle Fang and Aunt Huo can each take one of these Yuan-increasing Pills. You are both in good health and the pill can extend your lifespan by ten years."

Fang Zhenhai took the pill and said, "Little Su, I can’t help you with the Xu family’s issue. Yet, I still want to caution you. The Xu family is powerful, do be careful."

"Thank you for your advice, Uncle Fang. I will keep it in mind," Su Chengyu nodded in agreement.

"Little Su, why don’t you stay for lunch today? Aunt Huo is cooking," Huo Yun said with a smile.

"I’m afraid I can’t. I have some other things to take care of. I must take my leave."

Su Chengyu rose to leave, and everyone from the Fang Family saw him to the door.

Once back home, Huo Yun examined her Eternal-youth Pill gleefully, "I think Su Chengyu is quite a good young man. I feel at ease knowing that Little Qing is with him."

Fang Yue came downstairs and said, "Mom! You accused him of being a philanderer and no good match for Little Qing before, and now you are won over by just one Eternal-youth Pill? You are so principles-less!"

"I didn’t know him before, and I had no interaction with him, so I misunderstood him. He is a cultivator, destined to become an immortal. It is very normal for him to have multiple wives. Little Qing being with him could mean she gets to become the partner of an immortal! What’s wrong with that?"

Huo Yun praised Su Chengyu unreservedly.

Fang Yue shook her head, "Mom, didn’t you just say that he is arrogant, too conspicuous and even offends the Xu family. He acts recklessly without thinking?"

Huo Yun replied earnestly, "The Xu family has universally accepted power. Su Chengyu resisted such a temptation and didn’t want to be used by the Xu family. That is a testament to his personal integrity and courage. How many people can resist such temptation? He did, and that is his advantage too."

Fang Yue sat down, shaking her head with a smirk, "Mom, for the first time, I realize you are an indecisive person with no firm stance. A small favor and you are bought over."

"This is an Eternal-youth Pill, is it a small favor? It was snapped up for more than 400 million at the auction. I gladly accept his gift, so what about it? Rather, what’s with your attitude, Little Su saved your life. Isn’t your attitude ungrateful?"

Huo Yun held the pill, not embarrassed by her changing stance. On the contrary, she was assertive.

"Dad, you make the call," Fang Yue spoke defiantly.

An austere Fang Zhenhai looked at the Yuan-increasing Pill in the box, saying solemnly, "In this matter, your mother is right. Su Chengyu dared to refuse the Xu family and does not want to be driven by them. It requires enormous courage and willpower. Not everyone could do it. I also agree to Little Qing being with him."

Fang Yue was stunned. She could barely believe that these words were coming from Fang Zhenhai. On the other hand, Fang Ming was sneakily snickering.

"Fine, fine, fine! I am not going to argue with you all. You all are sold out to Su. He is really cunningly manipulative! Regardless, I disapprove of Little Qing being with him. Don’t forget the example of Lin Chuxue’s tragic death," Fang Yue said before storming upstairs.

"That girl, so stubborn!" Huo Yun remarked.

"You should seriously consider marrying her off. Perhaps being single for so long has affected her thinking," Fang Zhenhai suggested seriously.

Back in her room, Fang Yue ranted angrily, "Su Chengyu, you despicable, cunning man, how dare you bribe my parents. But I, Fang Yue, will never be bought over by you!""

Su Chengyu exited from the Provincial Government Courtyard, altered his appearance again and drove straight to the Lu Family mansion.

The Lu family had a tough time recently due to multiple attacks from the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Normally, Lu Wanrong could rely on his relationship with the Grand Airspace Officer, Qin Siyuan. However, now that Wei Chengzhou had intervened, Qin Siyuan naturally wouldn’t help Lu Wanrong.

Had it not been for the fact that the Lu family had some relationship with one of Jiangdong’s top officials, Zhao Tai’an, which made him a bit wary, the Lu family’s situation would’ve been even worse.

Presently, construction on the Lu family’s real estate developments could not proceed normally. Some of their other business ventures have also been sanctioned and they have suffered great losses.

The thing that upset Lu Wanrong the most was not just the losses suffered by the Lu family. They have also completely offended Su Cheng. This was tantamount to being caught between a rock and a hard place, getting caught on both sides.

News about Su Cheng seizing the treasures of dispersed immortals in Jianghuai and killing four Hall Masters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association has now reached Jiangdong, which made Lu Wanrong regret even more.

Lu Yunxi had been grounded at home. After spending time to reflect, she had started to realize that she was the one who made the huge mistake which led to the family’s current predicament. She was filled with regret.

Within the Lu family’s mansion, Lu Wanrong called over his trusted aids for a meeting to discuss strategies to deal with the current situation. But they were all in dire straits, unable to come up with any effective plans.

"Dad, we could consider seeking external assistance." Lu Yunxi’s brother, Lu Yunfei was urgently summoned abroad to come back and help the family.

"Where are we supposed to get external assistance from? Who, in Jiangdong, would dare oppose the Black Dragon Commerce Association?" Lu Wanrong enquired.

"The Pasca Group! I have a friend overseas who is a senior executive at the Pasca Group. He is friends with Eric, the manager of Pasca Group’s operation in Jiangdong. He mentioned that if we ever needed assistance, they would be keen to collaborate with the Wanrong Group," Lu Yunfei suggested.

The others immediately nodded in support.

"The Pasca Group is a heavy hitter. Although their operations in Jiangdong isn’t as strong, taking shelter under a big tree can provide us with cooling shade. Allying ourselves with the Pasca Group could amplify our position of strength," someone suggested.

Lu Wanrong hesitated, "The Pasca Group is not any less of a villain. Collaborating with them is like bargaining with a tiger for its skin."

Chen Yuanheng reasoned, "The Pasca Group has been aggressively expanding domestically over the years, holding huge stakes in many companies. Companies that collaborated with them either ended up being acquired or went bankrupt. We should do so with caution."

Lu Yunfei responded, "Look at where we are right now, let’s first get through the impending crisis. Yes, the Pasca Group is indeed strong, but as long as we are careful, why should we be afraid of being acquired?"

"Brother, I think dad and uncle are right. Joining forces with the Pasca Group could be like letting a wolf into our house. My suggestion is to reach out to the Xu family through our relationship with the top official of Jiangdong. The patriarch of that Xu family has returned to Lin Jiang, right? This might be an opportunity," Lu Yunxi broke her silence.

Lu Yunfei promptly slapped Lu Yunxi in the face and berated her, "Now is not the time for you to speak. If it wasn’t for your capriciousness, our family wouldn’t be in this mess!"

After getting slapped, Lu Yunxi was full of resentment but didn’t dare to retort. Even the usually doting Lu Wanrong didn’t say anything.

Lu Yunxi realised that due to the issue with Su Cheng, her standing within the Lu family dropped significantly. Lu Wanrong was thoroughly disappointed in her.
