Chapter 1168 Bearing Thorns to Seek Guilt!
Jiang Biyun smiled and said, "I called your grandfather, and your grandfather called Su Hongzhen of the Su family in Kyoto."
"Su Hongzhen? The one from the Tiger Lineage?" Su Yunxi was startled.
Su Hongzhen had achieved great fame in the provincial Su family and had once competed for the position of Patriarch of the Kyoto Su family. If not for a sudden accident back then, he would have undoubtedly become the Patriarch of the Kyoto Su family.
Even though he lost the election, Su Hongzhen, as the former Mountain Master of the Tiger Lineage of the Kyoto Su family, still possessed formidable influence even after retreating behind the scenes.
"Precisely. Your grandfather once saved Su Hongzhen's life. Your grandfather wants Su Hongzhen to help intercede, and he has agreed. I believe with his help, we can return to the Kyoto Su family."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunxi also felt a little relieved. She naturally trusted Chen Xuan, but with Su Hongzhen's help, returning to Kyoto would be even more secure.
Chen Xuan frowned, surprised that Old Master Su had such connections, and that they were willing to help the provincial Su family. It was truly unbelievable.
"However, Su Hongzhen hinted on the phone that he wants us to give him a portion of the shares in Su's Technology as a token of gratitude," Jiang Biyun said.
"If it can truly help us return to the Kyoto Su family, it's not impossible," Su Yunxi sighed. As expected, people don't help for free. She then said.
"I don't think you need their help, nor do you need to give up shares. The shares of Su's Technology are very valuable now."
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
This matter didn't require Su Hongzhen's help in the first place, and more importantly, they would have to give up precious Su's Technology shares – a huge piece of the pie!
Jiang Biyun immediately reprimanded, "Alright, you shut up! You have no right to speak here! Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
"If you don't want to listen, then forget it."
Chen Xuan shrugged. "However, you'd better not rush to give up shares. Let's see how things unfold."
With that, Chen Xuan went upstairs. As soon as he reached the bedroom, a knock came on the door. "It's me!"
The door opened, and it was Su Yunxi!
"I'm sorry, my mom is just like that," Su Yunxi said apologetically.
"It's fine. However, you'd better not be in such a hurry to give up shares," Chen Xuan said lightly, feeling that something was strange about this matter.
Su Yunxi hesitated, looked at Chen Xuan, and said, "Oh, I know."
...
Kyoto Su family.
Su Yue, with bandages wrapped around him, hobbled into the living room with support, wailing, "Brother, you absolutely must not let that guy off!"
"Su Yue, how did you end up like this?"
Su Mingyu, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned as he looked at Su Yue's miserable state. He was stunned at first, then suddenly stood up, his expression filled with disbelief.
Didn't Su Yue go to Jiangnan Province to deliver a message? How did he end up like this?
Su Yue recounted everything that had happened to Su Mingyu.
After listening, Su Mingyu angrily said, "You fool, how could you do such a thing? Do you know how important the Patriarch considers the provincial Su family!"
"But the Su family in Jiangnan Province is too arrogant. He dared to hit Su Zihao and the others. If word gets out that Su Zihao and the others were beaten, and I did nothing, how will the other branches view us?"
Su Yue was taken aback, not expecting Su Mingyu to say such a thing, but he still said unyieldingly.
This beating couldn't have been in vain!
"What you're saying has some truth to it, but you must know that the Patriarch attaches great importance to this matter."
"What's so important about it? They just have a little skill, are they better than us? Hmph, the provincial Su family causes trouble in Jiangnan Province. If they come to Kyoto, they will surely cause huge problems! I think they shouldn't have come to Kyoto!"
Su Yue gritted his teeth and said.
"You know nothing!" Su Mingyu berated.
Others might not know, but he, Su Mingyu, knew some inside information. The Patriarch had strongly defended the provincial Su family in the meeting for a reason.
"I..."
Su Yue still dared not offend Su Mingyu, and reluctantly said, "Brother, you can't just watch me get beaten for no reason. If this gets out, where will your reputation go?"
Su Mingyu actually hated Chen Xuan too. What was there to be arrogant about for a live-in son-in-law? He even dared to hit people!
If it weren't for their benefit to the Kyoto Su family, did you really think you could return to Kyoto?
However, he still maintained his composure and took a breath before saying, "It's fine to be beaten for nothing. You also know that I have a good relationship with Su Qian."
Su Yue gritted his teeth. "For your sake, I can let it go, but Su Zihao and the others were beaten. When their parents see their children in trouble, they definitely won't let it slide. They will definitely go to the Patriarch and cause trouble, and the Patriarch will definitely not let the provincial Su family off."
Su Mingyu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He quickly said, "Wait for a moment, tidy yourself up, and come with me to see the Patriarch!"
Su Yue's face lit up, and he said, "Brother, you're taking me to see the Patriarch to complain? Good, I'll go with you right now!"
Saying that, he sprang up as if he wasn't injured at all.
"You're injured?"
Su Mingyu examined Su Yue.
"Uh... my bones were broken, but they've already been set," Su Yue said awkwardly.
He wasn't lying; his arm had indeed been broken, though not severely, and it had already been set.
Before he finished speaking, Su Mingyu lunged forward and grabbed Su Yue's hand.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Su Yue was stunned.
But Su Mingyu raised his hand and struck Su Yue's arm. With a crack, Su Yue's arm broke again.
Su Yue cried out in pain, and then Su Mingyu broke Su Yue's other arm as well.
"Brother, what are you doing? I'm your own brother!"
Su Yue gritted his teeth in pain, completely bewildered. He never expected Su Mingyu to be so ruthless.
"I'm saving your life!" Su Mingyu looked at Su Yue with a mixture of exasperation and disappointment.
"Huh?" Su Yue couldn't believe it.
"Let's go. There's no time to delay. We must go see the Patriarch immediately. If things escalate, I won't be able to protect you either."
Su Mingyu said solemnly.
Just now, when he heard that he was being taken to see the Patriarch, Su Yue thought they were going to complain. But now he knew it was definitely not as simple as complaining.
"Brother, what exactly are we doing?" Su Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Bearing thorns to seek guilt!"
The four words from Su Mingyu made Su Yue frown deeply. He was the victim, so why should he bear thorns to seek guilt? Was this a joke?
Su Mingyu explained, "Let me tell you, the Patriarch values the provincial Su family very highly. Now that this has happened, if you don't bear thorns to seek guilt, I will suffer along with you!"
"What's so great about the provincial Su family?"
Su Yue curled his lip, completely disagreeing with Su Mingyu's words.
Chen Xuan had beaten Su Zihao and made those Su family disciples run naked. Those Su family disciples were very protective, and they would definitely go to the Patriarch to cause trouble. The provincial Su family would definitely face retaliation.
Then, Su Mingyu dragged Su Yue and headed towards the residence of the Patriarch, Su Tianhuang.
