"Su Jingyu, what do you mean? This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. It's a gift I prepared for grandmother!" Su Qingying was a little angry.
"A gift you prepared for grandmother? Pui! Hurry up and get lost! If not for you, the Su family wouldn't have fallen to such a state!"
"You!"
In that instant, grief and indignation surged into Su Qingying's heart.
Su Guoxiong and his wife, who were sitting at the side table, felt even more heartache when they saw their daughter being humiliated.
However, Su Jingyu's father Su Guohao's status in the Su family was much higher than theirs. The couple did not have much say in the Su family, much less speak up for their daughter.
All the Su Family relatives were waiting to watch a good show.
"Alright, Jingyu, come back. I was the one who asked her to return."
After a long while, Matriarch Su, who was sitting at the head of the table, said slowly.
"Grandma, this Su Qingying caused our Su family to suffer so much back then. Why did you ask her to come back?" Su Jingyu said in a slightly indignant manner.
"I naturally have my reasons for letting her return," Matriarch Su said.
"That's right. Jingyu, hurry up and return to Mister Zhao's side. It's simply not worth it to waste your grandmother's time for that woman," Su Jingtong said with a mocking tone.
They were all juniors but seeing Su Jingtong and Su Jingyu both insult Su Qingying, Matriarch Su had no intention of stopping them.
"Alright, why are you still standing here? After the birthday banquet ends, I'll inform you of some matters. Now that the seats here are all filled, Su Qingying, go sit at the table by the door," said Matriarch Su casually.
"The… the table by the door?"
Su Qingying was stunned for a moment. There were a total of 81 tables for the birthday banquet, and the table at the door was naturally was for those with the lowest statuses. Those were all seats for the Su Family servants!
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling? Do you think you're qualified to sit here?" Su Jingyu sneered.
"Since Grandma is healthy, Qingying shan't disturb you any further. I'll leave first."
Su Qingying was filled with humiliation. She couldn't even bear to stay in this huge Su Family residence for even another 15 minutes!
"Stop! I said that when the birthday banquet ends, I have to inform you of something. Who allowed you to leave? Su Qingying, you have left the family clan for so many years. I think you have forgotten your manners! How impudent!" Matriarch Su said with a livid expression.
"Grandma…"
Su Qingying was in extreme grief and indignation. She couldn't leave, yet couldn't stay. They clearly wanted to force her to stay here and be ridiculed by everyone!
"Qingying, listen to your grandma first. Go sit down."
Chen Meilan's heart ached when she saw her daughter being humiliated. She could only try to persuade her.
"Okay… I'll sit…"
Su Qingying nodded. Just as she turned around, she was pulled back by Qin Bei!
"Qin Bei?"
Su Qingying's beautiful eyes widened. She didn't know when Qin Bei had arrived.
"Qingying, you're my woman. You can sit at the head position of the Su family! I'll see who dares to stop you!"
Qin Bei's eyes were burning with anger. He looked at the ugly faces of the Su family members and wished he could kill them!
"And who are you?"
Seeing the unfamiliar man who had suddenly appeared, Su Jingyu narrowed her eyes.
Why did this person look so familiar?
"I'm Qin Bei, Su Qingying's husband!" Qin Bei said with a deep voice.
"Qin Bei!"
"What! You're Qin Bei!"
"The trash from back then! He actually dared to come back?"
Qin Bei's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Everyone in the Su family were instantly in an uproar!
"Shut up!"
Matriarch Su's face was ashen as she knocked her walking stick on the floor. Only then did the huge Su family courtyard quiet down.
Under everyone's gaze, Matriarch Su raised her walking stick and pointed at Qin Bei.
"You with the surname Qin, when you came to Qingzhou those years ago, you were nothing more than trash. You used flowery words to deceive my granddaughter, causing my Su Clan to offend a great figure and suffer a tremendous blow! As for you, you were in dire straits like a wild dog and fled Qingzhou overnight. Today, you still have the face to return?"
"The shameless one is you, old thing. Why would I, Qin Bei, not dare to return?" Qin Bei shouted.
"You!" Matriarch Su's expression froze.
"Back then, you went against Qingying's wishes and forced her to marry someone else! The Su family deserved to be receive its retribution! You old thing, on the other hand, took your anger out on Qingying and caused her to suffer for the past six years. Who are you to be considered an elder? You think you are worthy to be Qingying's grandmother?"
Qin Bei's voice was loud as a bell. Every word he said was filled with energy, causing Matriarch Su's lips to tremble!
"You with the surname Qin! I didn't think that after leaving Qingzhou for so many years, you would become so bold. In these six years, where have you been hiding like a coward?" Su Jingtong stood out and mocked.
"I joined the army and fought for the country. What do you mean by coward?" Qin Bei asked.
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter…"
As soon as Qin Bei finished speaking, Su Jingtong burst into laughter.
"Why are you so arrogant? I thought you had returned as a champion just like the novels. I didn't expect you to be a stinky soldier. How dare you be so arrogant in front of the Su family?"
"Shut up!"
Su Jingtong was laughing when Qin Bei suddenly stopped him.
"There are more than a million enemies who have fallen under my blade! You, Su Jingtong, may be the son of a wealthy family, but in reality, you are nothing but a parasite of the country. You spend your days in luxury, struggling at death's door! Yet you dare to ridicule the people who fought for the country? Who gave you the guts?"
