Chapter 901: Chapter 942: Forcibly Taking the Commoner GirlXiao Family!
Elder Fourth of the Xiao Family went pale at the sight of Third Su from the Su Family. Naturally, the most respected and esteemed person in the Su Family was none other than Old Master Su, but in recent years, he very rarely got involved in the familyâs internal affairs. The most talented member of the family was Su Mengxin, but she was after all a woman and would sooner or later be married off. Therefore, neither of these individuals were a major concern for the other clans. However, Third Su from the Su Family was the most troublesome; despite his age, he never played by the rules and often left people dust-covered and embarrassed.
So whenever there was business to discuss with the Su Family, people would eagerly meet with this Third Su. No one expected him to come knocking today.
But at this time, they had no choice but to greet Third Su with forced smiles, "Third Su, what wind has blown you over here today?"
Third Su spun his car keys round his fingers twice and said, "Iâm here to play matchmaker. Itâs my first time as a matchmaker, so I thought Iâd have a bit of fun today. Hey, hey, Fourth Master Xiao, whatâs with that look? Not happy to see me?"
Fourth Master Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not."
Third Su, clearly impatient, said, "Then hurry up and serve up some good dishes. I havenât even eaten yet because of your darn issues."
The Xiao Family quickly ushered Li Yifei and the others inside and started preparing a feast, while Li Yifei and his company took seats in the living room.
Xiao Lingâer came out at this moment too. Seeing Li Yifei and Su Mengxin arrive together, she hurried over and latched onto Li Yifeiâs arm, "Yifei, you finally made it."
Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, how could I not come?"
"Youâre so annoying," Xiao Lingâer playfully hit Li Yifei and then gratefully said to Su Mengxin, "Mengxin, thank you."
Su Mengxin took hold of Xiao Lingâerâs other hand and said, "Why are you saying things like this to me?"
Xiao Lingâer nodded, her eyes still brimming with tears, and said, "Mengxin, youâre really the best sister I could ever ask for. The luckiest thing in my life is having you as a friend."
"Well, well, our Miss Xiao Lingâer can sure speak from the heart when she wants to."
Su Mengfei curled her lips to the side and said, "Lingâer, youâre really something else. Itâs just a man, is he really worth all this fuss?"
Xiao Lingâer rolled her eyes at Su Mengfei and said, "The biggest misfortune in my life is having gained a friend like you."
At this moment, Third Su tossed his feet up on the coffee table, shaking them, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking every part the rogue as he said, "Fourth Master Xiao, Iâm not one to mince words. My grandson-in-law has taken a fancy to your granddaughter. Do you agree or not?"
Fourth Master Xiaoâs face turned uglier by the second as he muttered, "Are you here to snatch people away, Third Su?"
Third Su gave Fourth Master Xiao a sidelong glare, "If it were about snatching, why would there be all this trouble? Iâd just have my grandson-in-law come over and take her. You know who my grandson-in-law is, donât you? Golden Eagle, the one who had the Japanese Yamaguchi Group kneeling and begging for mercy. And you think your Xiao Family could stand up to him? Thatâs a joke."
Fourth Master Xiaoâs anger flared upon hearing this, "The Japanese Yamaguchi Group may kneel before him, but our Xiao Family certainly isnât spineless. Donât think you can just rob us so easily."
Li Yifeiâs eyes widened in disbelief at the audaciousness of this Third Grandpa. The confrontation was barely underway, and he was already playing hardball, almost like forcibly abducting a common girl. Just as he thought to interject and lighten the mood, Su Mengxin gave him a light tug.
The moment their eyes met, Li Yifei understood Su Mengxinâs intention. This Third Su had an unconventional way of doing things, but there was definitely a purpose behind his actions.
"Ho ho, it seems youâre not convinced, Fourth Master Xiao. How about we have a little sparring? If you beat me, then this matter is dropped. But if you lose, Little Lingâer follows my grandson-in-law."
Fourth Master Xiao almost blurted out an agreement, but luckily he hadnât lost his head completely. He knew that Third Suâs martial arts were a bit better than his. It baffled him how this old guy, despite being so disgraceful in many other aspects of life, had maintained such strength.
Suppressing his fury, Fourth Master Xiao said with a mocking tone, "I really donât want to waste my breath on this. You see, Third Su, if youâd come here today to propose a marriage for a member of your Su Family, I might understand. But to think youâre here matchmaking for your grandson-in-law? Could there be anything more absurd in this world?"
Suâs Third Eldest burst into laughter and said, "So what? If your Lingâer were willing to look my way, then Iâd consider proposing."
All those present were speechless, thinking that Suâs Third Eldest really had no respect for his elders. Fourth Master Xiao said with disdain, "You, Third Su, are only good at deceiving ignorant little girls. Try to scheme against our Lingâer, and youâd best stay as far away as you can."
"Haha..." Suâs Third Eldest laughed again and said, "Well, if the old oneâs not interested, my grandson-in-law here is still young. This is my granddaughter Mengxinâs man. You, Elder Xiao, are well aware of my granddaughterâs capabilities. A man she sees fit canât be wrong. Besides, Mengxin agreed out of the years of friendship with your Lingâer and doesnât mind it. This is already your Xiao Familyâs good fortune. You should be secretly pleased instead of putting on airs here. Itâs really annoying having to deal with people who say one thing and think another."
This was a key point that Xu had mentioned. Su Mengxin was no ordinary person, and everyone was clear about that. With her current status, it wouldnât be an exaggeration to call her the co-head of the Su Family. And yet, Su Mengxin consented to associate with a married man, with the Su Familyâs approval no less, which speaks volumes about the strength of Golden Eagle. Most importantly, at this moment, the Su Family was still willing to defend Li Yifei, forcing the Xiao Family to agree to the marriage. This seemed inconceivable, but it also showed just how close the Su Familyâs relationship with Li Yifei had become.
Third Su spoke up, "Since youâve put it that way, letâs lay our cards on the table. First, the kidâs already married. If your Su Familyâs willing to give Mengxin to him, thatâs your business. Our Xiao Family still has a reputation to maintain. We canât do something thatâs so disgraceful. Second, our Lingâer is about to get engaged to the He Family. This has already been agreed upon. We canât go back on our word, so thereâs no way weâll agree."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingâer immediately became anxious, but she was stopped by Su Mengxin.
At that moment, Suâs Third Eldest carelessly tossed his cigarette butt onto the valuable Persian carpet below, immediately causing a burnt hair smell to rise as it began to singe the carpet. This prompted the Xiao Family members to frownânot out of concern for the carpet, but they were quite put off by Suâs Third Eldestâs boorish behavior.
"Fine, if you donât agree, I wonât force you. I had thought to discuss shipping cooperation with you, but now thereâs no need." Old Master Su said, turning to leave without a momentâs hesitation.
Fourth Master Xiaoâs face changed as he finally called out, "Third Su, wait."
Third Su paused and said, "If you want to talk about shipping, then trade your Lingâer for it. Otherwise, forget it."
"You... You scoundrel!" Fourth Master Xiao couldnât help but curse.
"Haha, I am a scoundrel, but you already knew that. So, do you agree or not?"
"You... you..." Fourth Master Xiao was so angry that he wished he could slap Third Suâs face off, but the issue at hand was too significant. He had already discussed it with the family head and knew the stakes. They couldnât afford to fall out with the Su Family over this. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Third Su, Iâll remember this. Sooner or later, Iâll give you a thorough beating to vent my anger."
Suâs Third Eldest laughed heartily and said, "Fourth Master Xiao, if youâre able to beat me, Iâm at your disposal."
Seeing the two old men engage in such talk, Xiao Lingâer couldnât help but smile brightly, which was as good as a confirmation from the Xiao Familyâthey had agreed. Now she could be with Li Yifei.
Li Yifei smiled wryly to himself. By doing this, his relationship with Xiao Lingâer was as good as sealed, and he would never be able to break free from her in the future. "Ah, another emotional debt," he thought ruefully, especially considering how difficult it would be to explain this to Xu Yingying.
Third Su came over, patted Fourth Master Xiao on the shoulder, and said with a grin, "You see, Fourth Master Xiao, I told you, you should have just agreed outright. Why go through this trouble, making me exert so much effort? Come, letâs have a couple of drinks and see if I can drink you under the table."
"Third Su, donât start gloating when youâve gotten an advantage. We havenât finalized our cooperation yet, so letâs not talk about that right now."
"No problem, since Iâm looking to cooperate with you, Iâm definitely bringing sincerity to the table. The most weâll have to deal with is how to divide the benefits between us. Thatâs no issue."
"Fine, then thereâs one more thing. If you want to take Lingâer away, weâll have to see just how strong this kid really is."
"A fight? This sounds great!" Suâs Third Eldest immediately exclaimed with excitement.
Fourth Master Xiao revealed a sly smile and said, "All right, tomorrow night in the Xiao Familyâs martial arena. Our Xiao Family and the Zheng Family will each produce two men. If Yifei can come out on top against them, then Lingâer and Yuling are all his, and our families will never utter a word of objection."
Third Su looked at Fourth Master Xiaoâs expression, but his face showed even more excitement as he replied, "Very well, I agree. Even better if we do it now."
Li Yifei, observing their expressions, suddenly felt uneasy. Those four opponents surely wouldnât be easy to deal with; otherwise, neither the Xiao Family nor the Zheng Family would look so confident.
