The whole crowd fell silent!
Someone, unable to hold in their impatience, let out a scoff, followed by a roomful of laughter.
"Ha ha, Great Entrance as a cigar, Erguotou as alcohol? And Ice Red Tea counts as tea? Just giving these three cheap supermarket items to Old Master Su for his birthday?"
"It probably cost thirty bucks to settle it all, right?"
"Even the cigarettes my security guards smoke are more expensive than what this kid gave, and the alcohol they drink is better, hilarious, where did this oddity come from?"
With Old Lady Su at the helm, the Su family's faces instantly darkened.
Old Master Su was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Mr. Ye is too polite!"
"Old man, have a smoke!" Ye Wudao opened up the Great Entrance pack, tossed one to Old Master Su, and then shoved almost the entire pack into his pocket.
Old Master Su was caught off guard. In the end, he put on a forced smile, "I don't smoke, Mr. Ye's actions and style are truly those of a lofty person."
"Miss Su, I'm hungry, let's go eat!" Ye Wudao, pulling Su Yueli, casually picked a banquet table and began to feast in front of everyone.
"You impudent kid, you're too unreasonable!"
"We Su family do not welcome you!" the Su family's people scolded in anger, feeling humiliated.
"Everyone shut up, Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest of our Su family. He didn't charge a penny for treating me, and he even brought a gift for my birthday. Anyone who disrespects Mr. Ye is disrespecting me!" Old Master Su backed Ye Wudao.
"Miss Su, don't just stand there, eat!" Ye Wudao, while gobbling down food, noticed Su Yueli's displeased face and followed her gaze, only to see a young man in a suit approaching her.
"You don't like him?" Ye Wudao asked.
"Mm!" Su Yueli nodded.
In contrast, Xu Wenbin approached, smiling, "Yueli, we meet again!"
"Is there something you want?" Su Yueli asked, indifferent.
"Besides celebrating the birthday, I also came to propose to you," Xu Wenbin said bluntly.
"I refuse!" Su Yueli answered succinctly.
"Shut up, Su Yueli, do you know how much bride price Mr. Xu has offered?" Old Lady Su scolded angrily.
"Exactly, Mr. Xu gave tens of millions for the bride price, setting a new record in Jiangnan City, aren't you grateful?" Su Er Furen ridiculed.
"Cousin, don't be too greedy!" Su Yuan mocked.
Hearing the Su family's words, Su Yueli retorted, "If you want to marry him, you marry. I definitely won't marry him!"
"You, you, you!" Old Lady Su was so angry she nearly fainted, clutching her chest.
"Su Yueli, is that how you treat your elders? No wonder you have no manners, being without parents!" Su Er Furen mocked.
Swish!
Ye Wudao picked up a chopstick, and like a flash of lightning, threw it, and it shot through Su Er Furen's earring like an arrow.
"Ah!" Su Er Furen screamed, blood on her ear.
Ye Wudao said coldly, "Insult Miss Su again, and I'll kill you!"
Boom!
The entire hall swallowed their saliva, dead silent!
Xu Wenbin, frowning at the side, felt irritated at first sight of Ye Wudao, and seeing him so close to the goddess of his heart, Su Yueli, jealousy arose.
"Old Master Su, please give me an answer!" Just then, a man with an imposing physique like a robust tower walked over.
This man was none other than Xu Bao from the Eight Diamonds of the Xu family, nicknamed Cheetah Claw!
He had served as a special forces instructor in the military but was dismissed for misconduct. His strength was formidable, reputed to have taken dozens of lives; everyone respected and kept their distance from him!
Old Master Su frowned. The Xu family had even sent Xu Bao; it seemed they had prepared for both soft and hard tactics!
"My stance is clear, Yueli will decide matters of the heart!" Old Master Su stated.
"Grandfather, I won't marry!" Su Yueli declined.
"Heh, kindly ask the Xu family to take back the betrothal gifts!"
"Hmph, what does Old Master Su take my Xu family for? It's best if Miss Su marries, but she'll have to marry even if she refuses!" Xu Bao spoke vehemently.
Old Lady Su at the side laughed, "She will marry, of course!"
"Exactly, it's Su Yueli's good fortune to marry into the Xu family, and to marry young master Xu!"
"Together, the Xu and Su families will be an unbeatable alliance, won't that be perfect?" The Su family unanimously supported.
Su Yuan heard the words, and coldly said, "Everyone shut up, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to speak!"
Seeing Su Yuan throw cold water over the situation, Xu Bao said with a smile that hid a knife, "Elder Su, your family has no right to refuse!"
"The Xu family should leave!" Su Yuan issued the order for them to leave.
"Hehe, Elder Su, if the Su family does not agree today, then I shall not leave!" Xu Wenbin casually sat down on a chair, assuming an arrogance as if he were the host.
"Su Yueli is a girl who doesn't understand anything, that's one thing, but Elder Su is old and cunning. Why would he pass up on such a good marriage opportunity?"
"Exactly, if this marriage goes through, by having the Xu family's support, no one in Jiangnan City would dare to provoke the Su family!"
"Although Su Yueli is beautiful, she is nothing but a foster daughter of the Su family!"
The scene buzzed with discussion!
"Xu family's boy, are you threatening an old man?" Su Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Xu Wenbin took a small sip of tea and smiled, "I originally wanted the Su family's agreement today, but I've changed my mind. Today, I will take Su Yueli with me!"
Su Yuan clearly became angry, he actually crushed the chair arm with his fingers; "You want to try?"
"Young Master, I'll injure the old Su head, you won't mind, right?" Xu Bao asked, ready to fight.
"Hehe, just be careful with your force, hurting an elderly is not good!" Xu Wenbin smiled with malice hidden within.
Xu Bao held his fists together; "Elder Su, since we are both martial artists and cannot agree, let's follow the rules of the martial world and determine the winner with three moves!"
"Agreed!" Su Yuan nodded.
The whole audience held their breath, some with sharp eyes said, "Elder Su's kung fu is extraordinary, at his peak, he was ranked among the top five in Jiangnan City, known as Jiangnan's Fierce Tiger!"
"You also know that was his peak. Ever since Elder Su fell seriously ill a year ago, his strength has declined severely!"
"This Xu Bao is known as one of the eight Jin Gang of the Xu family, in his prime, the outcome of this battle is really uncertain!"
Xu Bao let out an angry shout, like a fierce beast breaking out of its cage, and threw a punch; "Leopard Fist!"
Su Yuan met the attack with a palm.
Bang!
Neither side gained the upper hand.
Xu Bao's eyes surged with battle intent, his momentum continuously rising, growing stronger and stronger.
"Cheetah Claw!"
Xu Bao's fingers became like claws, which could tear through a steel plate and were incredibly fast.
"Grandfather, be careful!" Su Yueli said anxiously.
Su Yuan blocked, effortlessly defending against the attack.
Xu Bao narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent stirred in his pupils, his body appeared like a cheetah in front of Su Yuan, slapping with a palm, but a dagger suddenly appeared in his palm, flashing with cold light.
Not good!
Su Yuan was greatly startled, hastily retreated, but still his hand was wounded, bleeding profusely.
Just as he thought to gather his energy, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!
The whole place was shocked!
Xu Bao sneered, "Elder Su, you've lost. My dagger is coated with snake venom, and the poisoned shall surely die within seven days without a doubt, only the Xu family has the antidote!"
"What? This Xu Bao is too despicable and shameless, actually using a hidden weapon!"
"This is not the act of a righteous gentleman!" Many people looked down on him.
Xu Bao scoffed; "Elder Su never said beforehand that hidden weapons couldn't be used!"
Su Yuan clenched his fists, veins bulging on his face, yet he could only suppress his raging anger.
He was no longer young!
This broken body was already riddled with holes!
"Grandfather, I'll marry, I will marry!" Su Yueli flowed with tears, throwing herself at Su Yuan's feet looking pitiful and distressed.
With eyes closed, Su Yuan, with his weather-beaten eyes shedding tears, trembled, "Yueli, I'm sorry, your grandfather is old and can no longer protect you!"
"No, you are always my hero in my heart!" Su Yueli cried out.
"Miss Su, my apologies. Please come with our young master!" Xu Bao smirked as he approached Su Yueli, very rudely.
Just at that moment, Ye Wudao suddenly put down his chopsticks, his glacial gaze like purgatory; "Whoever dares to touch a hair on Miss Su, I shall have him pay with his life!"
