Chapter 325: I'll Repeat It One Last Time
A moment later, an elderly man with a vigorous spirit, leaning on a Dragon Head Cane, entered the room followed by an imposing middle-aged man and two younger individuals, a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman.
The entire room fell silent upon seeing the newcomers.
"Huff~"
"Old Master Su Jingguo and Family Head Su Wenchang are here, things are about to heat up!" Many relatives from the Su Family trembled inwardly, Su Jingguo's prestige in the Su Family was like the skies.
Su Wenrui, looking at the entering Old Master, couldn't help but swallow his spit and unconsciously glanced at Su Wenfu, "The third elder's family is done for!"
Su Ziming clenched his fists even tighter, barely concealing the excitement on his face, whether it was the Su family members being humiliated or Ling Fan begging on his knees, it was all a cause for happiness to him.
Su Wenfu's complexion soured, the moment he saw Old Master Su appear, he knew things had gone awry.
Yu Nianrou turned even paler, twenty years ago, the scandal involving Su Wei had caused a storm within their circle, and it was considered a disgrace and a taboo topic within the Su Family.
Now, on the premise of her daughter's engagement, bringing back a young man was akin to challenging Old Master Su's bottom line, she could not even begin to imagine what would happen next!
Su Ting's angry expression gradually calmed down, turning into a cold sneer, with Old Master Su present, there was no need for her to be angry!
Next, not to mention this young man, even Su Wenfu and his entire family wouldn't get to enjoy any fruits of their labor!
Old Master Su stopped in the center of the room and paused, surveying everyone with his cane, and finally, his gaze landed on Su Zixuan's head.
"Fourth Elder, what exactly is the matter!" Su Jingguo spoke in an emotionless tone, his voice even.
Even Su Wenchang standing nearby was taken aback, "Su Zixuan got beaten up?"
Su Ziyun and Su Ruoxuan looked at each other, they had only not seen Su Zixuan for a day, and he had turned into this?
Su Wenwu's heart trembled, familiar with Old Master Su's temper, he had already sensed the extreme anger in the Old Master's calm tone.
"Father, the third brother's daughter brought back a boyfriend, yesterday at the banquet he injured Zi Xuan and my subordinate Ruan Zhan, he even dared to challenge our Su Family, claiming to take charge of Su Qiong's wedding!" Su Wenwu reported firmly and clearly.
When Su Wenwu finished speaking, the hall fell silent, everyone's eyes tensely focused on Su Jingguo.
Su Wenchang beside him was slightly stunned, the words of Fourth Elder were unimaginable, having experienced the incident twenty years ago, he knew all too well what kind of storm these words would bring.
Su Ziyun and Su Ruoxuan were shocked, although they were unaware of the incident from twenty years ago, they knew one thing clearly, that Su Qiong was the first person in their memory who dared to defy Old Master Su!
In a grand family like theirs, their marriages were not something they could control themselves, everything was based on the interests of the family.
Immediately, they regarded Su Qiong even higher.
Su Qiong stood to the side, extremely nervous, her hands sweaty, facing Old Master Su's well-established authority was immensely pressuring.
Leaning on his cane, the initially indifferent expression of Su Jingguo had already turned steely blue, Su Wenwu's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in his mind.
Suddenly, it evoked memories from twenty years ago, defying the commands of the family was his inverse scale, he couldn't help but feel intensely angry.
Old Master Su's gaze rested on Su Qiong for a moment and finally fell on Su Wenfu and his wife.
Su Qiong, just being stared at for a while, felt a chill of sweat down her back, Su Wenfu felt even more pressure, facing Su Jingguo's gaze was like facing a towering mountain!
"Third Elder, is what Wenwu said true? I only ask you one question, can you manage your household affairs well?"
"If I can't manage well, this old bones of mine will have to meddle just this one time and intervene personally!" Su Jingguo uttered each word deliberately, his cane 'thump' resonated once against the floor.
Frightened, Su Wenfu and his wife's hearts raced, their heads covered in cold sweat. With the situation having developed to this stage, they were beyond defense, and could only await Su Qiong's final attitude.
"Dad, there must be some misunderstanding here. That young man is indeed Su Qiong's friend, but not her boyfriend, please discern clearly," pleaded Su Wenfu, taking a deep breath, his voice tense.
"Heh heh, third brother, just a moment ago that lad claimed that Su Qiong's marriage had to go through him, and now he doesn't?" Su Ting coldly scoffed from the side.
Yu Nianrou's face changed, and she boldly retorted, "Don't twist the truth, when did he ever say that!"
Su Ting glanced at Yu Nianrou with disdain, sneering, "Don't forget, that lad just said, with him here, no one would dare force her on her lifelong matter!"
Su Wenfu and his wife's complexion suddenly changed; Ling Fan had indeed said those words earlier, and everyone had heard them.
At this moment, everyone's gaze naturally focused on Ling Fan, all with a look of pity.
The grandiose and arrogance from before, the regrets he was about to face would surely be unforgettable for a lifetime. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"Heh heh, I'll show you how awesome I am, just wait, Grandpa's fury will certainly shatter you to pieces!" Su Zixuan said, his eyes filled with malicious resentment.
Su Jingguo's complexion turned from pale to blue, and then from blue back to pale, eventually almost turning liver-colored, "Fine, fine, fine, it's been many years since anyone has dared to provoke the Su Family like this, very good!"
"Grandpa, don't blame Ling Fan for this. It was Su Zixuan who provoked first yesterday, that's why Ling Fan retaliated.
Also, I want to reiterate again, he is just a normal friend, not my boyfriend!" Su Qiong insisted, stepping forward to defend Ling Fan.
Su Zixuan glared, fire seemingly bursting from his eyes, immediately unable to contain himself as he stood up and coldly shouted, "Stop putting on an act here. Aren't you just afraid that Grandpa being truly angry will bring misfortune to this lad, so you're deliberately arguing otherwise!
Don't think you can deceive Grandpa with a few words. Not only did this lad injure me, but he also disregarded our entire Su Family, he truly deserves death!"
Just then, Su Jingguo took a deep breath, not even looking at Ling Fan but instead instructing Su Wenchang next to him, "I don't want to see this lad in our Su Family ever again, and starting today, Su Qiong will no longer go to school, just stay at home, ready to marry into the Leng family!"
"Yes!" Su Wenchang responded respectfully.
Old Master Su's statement undoubtedly finalized the verdict on today's scene, and Ling Fan's fate was likely death, while Su Qiong, until the wedding, was essentially put under house arrest.
Upon hearing this, Su Qiong nearly fell to the ground, a chill penetrating her entire body, her lips even bleeding from biting.
Su Wenfu and his wife instantly deflated, their faces expressing helplessness; in their views, this outcome was already favorable.
Su Zixuan looked at Ling Fan with schadenfreude, as if watching a dead man.
Leng Yan sighed quietly; no matter how formidable this guy was, how could he contend against the Su Family!
Su Ziming stayed silent without a word, "Is this the end? It's a bit disappointing to me!"
Everyone gently shook their heads; Old Master Su had spoken, the conclusion was set!
Just then, the long-silent Ling Fan gently pulled Su Qiong behind him and stared coldly at Su Jingguo.
With composure, he declared, "I'll repeat one last time, today, with me here, no one can force Su Qiong on her lifelong matter!"
As these words came out, the entire crowd was utterly confounded!
