Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Honored by Three Bows from the Elder_1
"Dad... I was also thinking about the best for our family when I targeted the Pasca Group..." Lu Yunxi said pitifully.
"Okay, say no more, and leave!"
Lu Wanrong was disappointed with Lu Yunxi and promptly cut off her words.
Tears welled up in Lu Yunxi’s eyes, overwhelmed by injustice she had to leave the conference room.
As Lu Yunxi exited the house, she bumped into Su Chengyu, who was walking towards the mansion, she was taken aback.
"Su... Su Cheng, you’re not dead?!"
Lu Yunxi had heard about Su Chengyu’s exploits in Jianghuai, but there were rumors that he had died there. She was shocked to see him and instinctively thought him a ghost.
"Do you desire my death that much? I still have some matters to settle with the Lu family. I wouldn’t die so easily," Su Chengyu said coldly.
Lu Yunxi’s emotions were complicated. She regretted her previous misjudgment and had greatly underestimated Su Chengyu’s strength.
If she had known about Su Chengyu’s power as a Ninth Grade Great Grandmaster, she would never have harbored her sinister intentions.
However, whenever she thought of one night when Su Chengyu had humiliated her, a deep hatred welled up in her heart.
After Su Chengyu spoke, Lu Yunxi hesitated, then turned around to follow him.
Su Chengyu pushed open the door to the conference room of the Lu family, startling both Lu Wanrong and Chen Yuanheng.
"Mr. Su! You’re still alive?!"
"It seems you all were hoping for my death," Su Chengyu responded coldly.
"No, no, Mr. Su, please do not misunderstand. I heard rumors that you died in Jianghuai. Your survival is of course a good thing," Lu Wanrong quickly added.
Su Chengyu walked in and sat down, prompting Lu Wanrong to tell the others in the room: "You can all leave! Anyone who leaks any information about Mr. Su will not be let off lightly."
The key executives of the Wanrong Group left the conference room. A smirk crossed Su Chengyu’s face as he said, "Are you afraid the Black Dragon Commerce Association will find out I came to the Lu residence and cause you more trouble?"
"Mr. Su, you are mistaken! I am worried that the Black Dragon Commerce Association would try to retaliate against you. I was very angry and sorry about what happened that evening. It was entirely Yunxi’s fault and was not my intention. You have rendered great services to the Lu family. We would never be ungrateful for your kindness," explained Lu Wanrong sincerely.
"Lu Yunxi, aren’t you going to come forward and apologize to Mr. Su?" Lu Wanrong saw Lu Yunxi standing at the door and immediately scolded her.
With her lips tightly pursed, Lu Yunxi was hesitant and reluctant. She had been humiliated once by Su Chengyu, and if she knelt down to apologize again, she felt she would have lost all her dignity.
"Enough. I didn’t come here today to hear your explanations or to receive an apology. It no longer matters," Su Chengyu said indifferently, having no interest in hearing an apology from Lu Yunxi.
"Mr. Su, please convey any orders, the Lu family will certainly comply," Lu Wanrong hurriedly said.
"Return the elixir I gave to you last time; our partnership is over," Su Chengyu stated.
At this point, Chen Yuanheng quickly stepped in, "Mr. Su, the elixir you gave us has been exchanged for herbs, which are all stored in the warehouse. I’ll fetch them right away."
"Herbs are fine too, go get them," Su Chengyu nodded slightly.
Chen Yuanheng quickly rushed to fetch the herbs, and Lu Wanrong ordered Lu Yunxi to bring Su Chengyu some tea. He knew that the trust of Su Chengyu was invaluable, making any loss the Lu family incurred worthwhile.
"No need! I’m not drinking," Su Chengyu said impassively.
Chen Yuanheng quickly returned with the herbs, and after Su Chengyu inspected them, he seemed satisfied and accepted them.
At this point, Chen Yuanheng opened another box, saying, "Mr. Su, inside here is an 800-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, a treasured item of the Lu family. Regardless of whether you forgive us or not, we offer this to you as a symbol of our regret."
Upon hearing "Tianshan Snow Lotus", Su Chengyu’s expression changed.
He had been missing this very ingredient to make the Fusion Soul Pill. This precious herb was found in the remote Tianshan mountain range in Northwest China, it was extremely difficult to harvest and rarely seen.
Even the Qiao family couldn’t obtain the Tianshan Snow Lotus, so Su Chengyu was excited to learn that the Lu family actually had one.
"We have been carrying the Tianshan Snow Lotus to find you and apologize but were told you’d left. Mr. Su, please accept it," Lu Wanrong eagerly said.
Old Master Lu, having heard the news, had hobbled in. Using his walking stick for support, he came before Su Chengyu and said, "Mr. Su, I must apologize! I acknowledge that my family was in the wrong! Our actions were not directly instructed, but Lu Yunxi is a member of our family, and as such, it is our responsibility to bear the consequences of her actions."
"Our family cannot hope for forgiveness, and I have no face to beg for your forgiveness. We are entirely responsible for what happened! Please accept my three bows and my gratitud for saving my life!"
Upon saying this, Old Master Lu let go of his walking stick to kneel before Su Chengyu. As an old soldier, this was a taxing movement that took a lot of effort.
Su Chengyu gripped Old Master Lu’s arm, preventing him from kneel, "I respect you as an elder, and one who has fought and bled for our country on the battlefield. Your efforts have earned my respect. I cannot accept your three bows."
"Grandfather! I am a descendant of the Lu family. I should apologize on your behalf to Su Chengyu."
Just as Lu Yunfei stepped forward, ready to kneel, Lu Yunxi wiped her tears and said, "None of you need to kneel. I caused this problem. I will bear the responsibility!"
Thus, Lu Yunxi went inside and knelt before Su Chengyu.
"Mr. Su, I’m sorry! I was short-sighted. I shouldn’t have tried to take advantage and underestimate you. You can kill or mutilate me if wish to," Lu Yunxi said.
At this moment, Lu Yunxi truly regretted her actions and her last shred of pride and dignity thoroughly shattered.
Gazing at her, Su Chengyu said coldly, "If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t be alive today."
Although he needed the Tianshan Snow Lotus, if he forgave the Lu family lightly, there would be no guarantee they would not betray him in the future.
"Alright, I’ll give you another condition. If you can fulfill it, I might consider renegotiating our partnership," Su Chengyu stated indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanrong and Chen Yuanheng were so excited that they almost jumped up.
"Mr. Su, please speak. Regardless of your conditions, the Lu family will do our utmost to fulfill them," Lu Wanrong said excitedly.
"There’s a painting called ’Wind, Moon, Flowers, and Birds’ in Zhao Taian’s possession. I like it very much! If you can obtain this painting within three days and give it to me, I will let bygones be bygones," Su Chengyu said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanrong’s face changed slightly. Taking something from Zhao Taian would be tricky, to make matters worse, their relationship with Zhao Taian was like oil and water making it even more difficult.
