Chapter 634 In the Name of the Su Family
Chen Xuan had now returned to the Su family villa.
As soon as he entered the Su family villa, he saw Su Yunxi dressed up, her makeup exquisite, standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, seemingly not satisfied with her makeup, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"Yunxi, you're already so beautiful. If you were any more beautiful, I wouldn't be worthy of you," Chen Xuan quipped.
Su Yunxi turned her head, and Chen Xuan's face appeared in her sight. "Chen Xuan, you're back?"
Chen Xuan stretched and plopped down on the sofa. "Yeah, everything's done."
"Come on, take a look. Do I look better in this blue dress or the white one?" Su Yunxi pulled Chen Xuan, holding a dress in each hand, different in style and color.
"The blue one."
Chen Xuan looked over, and after a moment, his gaze fell on the blue dress.
To be honest, Su Yunxi possessed a beauty that could overthrow cities and nations and the figure of a supermodel. Even if she wore clothes from a street stall, she could absolutely pull off a trendy look, let alone two expensive dresses.
However, if Chen Xuan had to choose one of the two, he felt the blue one was slightly better because the blue made Su Yunxi appear less aloof and more approachable.
Su Yunxi said, "Then the blue one."
With that, Su Yunxi threw the white dress to Chen Xuan and went to change into the blue one.
When Su Yunxi emerged, Chen Xuan was immediately stunned. She was truly too beautiful. At this moment, Su Yunxi was like a fairy descended from heaven!
Su Yunxi smiled charmingly, very pleased with Chen Xuan's gaze.
"Yunxi, why are you dressed so beautifully?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan asked curiously.
Usually, Su Yunxi dressed very simply for any banquet or board meeting. He couldn't quite understand why Su Yunxi was dressed up like this today.
Su Yunxi walked over, linked her arm through Chen Xuan's, and chuckled, "Didn't I tell you before that my mother wanted me to take you to some banquets for the provincial capital's high society? Coincidentally, there's a top-tier banquet in the provincial capital today."
"I'm going too?"
"Of course! And today, you're going under the name of the Su family!"
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan with sparkling eyes.
To be honest, Su Yunxi was very nervous and uneasy.
What happened before was just minor skirmishes, but today's banquet was different. It was attended by the provincial capital's most prominent wealthy individuals, including the four great families and other influential households.
"Then should I also change into something better?" Chen Xuan asked casually with a smile.
Chen Xuan had seen his fair share of storms; no banquet, no matter how grand, could likely make him nervous.
"Whatever."
"Then I'll just wear something ordinary," Chen Xuan said.
In the evening, Chen Xuan changed into clean and tidy clothes, got into a car with Su Yunxi, and slowly left the Su family villa.
"Yunxi, did something good happen to you?"
From the beginning, Chen Xuan had noticed that Su Yunxi had been smiling all along, seeming to be in a good mood.
"You noticed that too?"
Su Yunxi couldn't help but touch her beautiful cheek and said playfully, "Am I that obvious?"
Chen Xuan thought to himself, you almost have the words 'good news' written all over your face...
"Then I'll tell you. I just received news that Elder Huang did not retain the title of Medicine King!"
Su Yunxi said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with joy, her smile blooming like a flower.
Chen Xuan understood. So Su Yunxi was happy about this. He couldn't help but smile.
Su Yunxi continued to chuckle to herself, "Since Elder Huang didn't retain the title of Medicine King, the Gu family's plan to build momentum has failed. And Elder Gu trusts Elder Huang immensely, so the Gu family's scheme to use Elder Huang's fame for advertising has fallen through."
"That is truly great news!" Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said calmly.
"I heard that the Medicine King is also very young. The advertising department plans to invite the Medicine King to be the spokesperson for our Su family's new medicine. What do you think?"
Su Yunxi suddenly said.
Chen Xuan: "......"
Spokesperson?
He wasn't someone who liked to be in the spotlight. He needed to find a way to decline this.
"Yunxi, since you said that the Medicine King is a young man, as the saying goes, 'young and inexperienced,' perhaps we should find another spokesperson."
After Chen Xuan's persuasion, Su Yunxi temporarily abandoned the idea of inviting him to be a spokesperson.
"Miss, Young Master, we've arrived!"
Suddenly, the car they were in slowly stopped, and the driver's voice followed.
"We're here, let's get out!"
Su Yunxi said, and was the first to get out of the car, with Chen Xuan close behind.
As Chen Xuan got out of the car, he saw that they were not at a hotel but a private estate. At the entrance, cars were like dragons and horses, with long queues of luxury cars, all Rolls-Royce or above.
Su Yunxi introduced, "Chen Xuan, banquets of this caliber are only held once every one or two months. The purpose is for major families to communicate and ease conflicts. Generally, one of the four great families is responsible for hosting the banquet."
"Of course, the Su family also had the qualification to host in the past. This time, the host is the Lei family, one of the four great families."
Chen Xuan patted Su Yunxi's shoulder. "Yunxi, don't worry. From today onwards, the Su family will possess this qualification."
His voice was soft, yet it carried a sense of tremor!
Su Yunxi felt as if she had been electrocuted for a moment, looking at the man in front of her. "Chen Xuan..."
"Didn't they say the Su family's eldest daughter was very cold? Why are you flirting with a man here?"
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice echoed. Before the words had even finished, a group of men and women, surrounding a seductive woman, walked over.
This woman had a voluptuous figure. From a distance, she looked alright, but as she got closer, it was clear that this woman had a "snake-face" that looked very unnatural. It was obvious that she had undergone considerable plastic surgery.
This woman was precisely the eldest daughter of the Lei family, Lei Yuying!
Lei Yuying was also one of the four great beauties of the provincial capital back in the day, while Su Yunxi was known as the number one goddess of Jiangnan, surpassing Lei Yuying.
Lei Yuying had always been jealous of Su Yunxi, so she went to Korea for plastic surgery. However, there was a medical accident, which caused Lei Yuying's entire face to become unnatural, and she couldn't even keep her title as one of the four great beauties.
It could be said that she had become a laughingstock of the provincial capital's high society!
"What I do is none of your business! Get lost!"
Su Yunxi regained her usual cold demeanor, and her aura was powerful, her attitude extremely firm.
Compared to a strong businesswoman like Su Yunxi, Lei Yuying's aura was much weaker. She shrieked, "You dare tell me to get lost?!"
"Are you going to stop me?"
Su Yunxi said coldly.
"I'm telling you, you're not getting in today!"
Lei Yuying, leading her entourage, blocked Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan's path.
She glanced at Chen Xuan, then surveyed the crowd, crossing her arms. "Everyone, come quickly and see! For a banquet of our caliber, the Su family actually brought their live-in son-in-law. Isn't that lowering our status? Do you think she should attend the banquet?"
"Bringing a live-in son-in-law to a top provincial capital banquet?"
"Are you kidding me!"
"What kind of banquet is this? Allowing someone like that in is simply a desecration of our status!"
Everyone was astonished, their gazes sweeping over Chen Xuan, who stood beside Su Yunxi, filled with mockery.
