Chapter 1161 Su Yue
Su Yunxi frowned. The situation didn't seem like they were here for revenge. She asked, "Who are you people?"
The middle-aged man stepped forward and smiled, "You must be Su Yunxi, Su Qian's daughter, right?"
"Indeed."
Su Yue said in a deep voice, "I am Su Yue of the Su family in the capital. The family head has asked me to inform you of a piece of news: the Su family in the capital permits your branch to return to the capital."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Especially Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi, who exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They never expected that the Su family in the capital would not only refrain from seeking revenge but also allow Su Yunxi's branch to return to the capital. It was truly perplexing.
It was known that in the Su family's nearly hundred-year history of development, only once had a branch that was expelled by the Su family in the capital been permitted to rejoin the ancestral clan.
"Miss Su, these are the family head's exact words. You must return to the capital within three days, or don't blame the Su family in the capital for not giving you an opportunity." Su Yue said arrogantly, his face cold.
His tone conveyed a sense of superiority, which made people uncomfortable, as if it were a condescending favor.
However, since Su Yue was from the Su family in the capital, Su Yunxi did not make things difficult for him. She extended her hand and said, "Then please come in. Stay for dinner at our home today."
"Mm..."
Su Yue nodded with a cold expression and strode in.
The young men followed closely behind, but their gazes remained fixed on Su Yunxi and the other women. They whistled shamelessly.
Since Su Yue had arrived, Su Yunxi could no longer go shopping. Murong Meng and the others also did not go, fearing that something might happen, and followed her back to the Su family villa.
In the living room, upon learning that someone from the Su family in the capital had arrived and the purpose of their visit, Jiang Biyun was also greatly surprised. Her face was filled with joy, and she quickly ordered tea and refreshments to be served.
Although Jiang Biyun had been away from the capital for many years, she still had some impression of Su Yue's identity.
Su Yue was Su Mingyu's younger brother. Su Mingyu's branch was the closest to the current family head and his biggest supporter, and they could not be offended easily.
Furthermore, Su Yue was an extremely powerful martial arts expert. He had become a Martial Venerable many years ago. Jiang Biyun did not know his exact realm, but Chen Xuan could tell that Su Yue was a seventh-rank Martial Venerable, with decent strength. It was a pity that his body had been weakened by alcohol and lust.
"May I ask why the Su family head has invited our branch back to the capital?" Su Yunxi asked with a charming smile.
Chen Xuan sat to the side, also very curious.
Su Yue said proudly, "That is naturally the family head's wish. How could I dare to speculate arbitrarily? However, Tianci died in the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province, and Tianhai Dan caused a great disturbance, insisting that your family be destroyed."
"It was my elder brother, Su Mingyu, who spoke up for you and saved you. If my elder brother hadn't spoken, your branch would absolutely not have been able to return to the capital. You must be grateful."
"Of course, if you were to present any gifts, I would also help deliver them to my elder brother."
At this point, it was clear that Su Yue had come to seek benefits, after all, flying from the capital was a tiring journey.
This was like eunuchs delivering imperial decrees from the palace; if it was good news, they would usually demand benefits.
Chen Xuan said with a playful smile, "I recall that the eunuchs in the palace also demanded rewards when delivering imperial edicts."
This statement was mostly false, as allowing Su Yunxi's branch to return to the Su family in the capital was not something that could be achieved with mere words.
"Are you calling me a eunuch?" Su Yue's gaze turned cold.
"I didn't say that. You said it yourself."
"You're seeking death!" Su Yue gritted his teeth.
Jiang Biyun looked at Chen Xuan and hurriedly reprimanded him, "Chen Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting!"
After speaking, she looked at Su Yue again and said, "Su Yue, Su Qian had a good relationship with your elder brother Su Mingyu in the past. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a precious gift for you."
Su Yue knew that Su Qian and his elder brother Su Mingyu had a good relationship in the past. He took a breath and suppressed his anger, "Alright. I wonder what gift you have prepared?"
Jiang Biyun hesitated for a moment and glanced at Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi understood and had someone bring out a bank card. "Uncle Su, there's ten million here. You've worked hard on this trip."
"Ten million?"
Su Yue, who had just extended his hand, froze. His brow furrowed, and he raised his arm, knocking the bank card to the ground.
Chen Xuan frowned.
However, he did not intervene.
He knew that the Su family in the provincial capital attached great importance to returning to the capital. After all, they had been driven out of the capital like stray dogs, and their greatest wish was to return and regain their dignity.
Although in Chen Xuan's opinion, that so-called dignity was nothing special, he had not experienced that kind of humiliation and could not comment on it.
"Uncle Su Yue, what's wrong?"
Su Yunxi frowned, looking at the bank card lying on the ground.
"Ten million? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?"
"You should at least give two or three hundred million," Su Yue sneered.
"Uncle Su Yue, aren't you going too far?" Su Yunxi said in a deep voice.
Su Yue sneered, "I'm going too far? It seems your Su family in the provincial capital doesn't want to return to the capital anymore."
Su Yunxi really wanted to say that they wouldn't return to the capital. This guy was practically extorting them.
"Yunxi, stop it. Two or three hundred million is two or three hundred million. Quickly write Su Yue uncle a check!" Jiang Biyun advised.
When they left the capital, Jiang Biyun had cried bitterly in the car, feeling like she was being exiled to the frontier and filled with despair.
Returning to the capital was her lifelong hope. Now that she had the opportunity to return, she did not want to miss it. After all, if she angered Su Yue, and Su Yue said unpleasant things, it might affect the Su family's return to the capital.
Su Yunxi could understand Jiang Biyun's feelings. She took a breath and said, "It's just a few hundred million. Our Su family in the provincial capital can afford it."
She waved her hand, and someone brought out a check. Holding a pen, she quickly wrote a check for three hundred million and calmly placed it in front of Su Yue.
Looking at the check for three hundred million, Su Yue's brow furrowed deeply.
The Su family in the provincial capital was so wealthy that they so readily produced three hundred million. He suddenly felt that he had asked for too little.
However, he couldn't raise the price now.
He picked up the check and stuffed it into his pocket, saying indifferently, "Don't worry, I will definitely give this check to my elder brother and have him speak highly of you to the family head."
Su Yunxi's pretty face was filled with frost, while Jiang Biyun smiled and said, "Then we must thank Brother Su Yue. When we go to the capital another day, we must treat you to a good meal!"
"Why go to the capital? Let's do it today. I haven't been to the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province yet. They say the food in the countryside is good, and I'd like to try some farm-style dining."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Biyun couldn't help but stiffen.
The provincial capital of Jiangnan Province was, after all, a second-tier major city, yet in this guy's mouth, it had become a village. This was too condescending.
She still said, "Then let's try the delicacies of the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"I hope so," Su Yue frowned.
Soon, Su Yunxi arranged for a large hotel for dinner. Just as everyone was preparing to leave for the meal, a scream suddenly sounded from outside.
Ah—
