The Patriarch of the Zeng family's words, however, drew a cold laugh from Qian Fuhua.
They all looked down on parvenus, didn't they?
Such shallow vision!
If it were anyone else, they would have known by now.
Anyone personally thrown out by Qian Fuhua must have committed a grave offense!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have embarrassed Zeng Hua in such a crowded place.
The normal course of action would be to admit fault and apologize.
Perhaps then there would be a chance for a turnaround!
Yet, the Zeng family patriarch actually asked Qian Fuhua to spare Zeng Hua, for the sake of the Zeng family's reputation?
It almost made Qian Fuhua laugh in anger!
Although Qian Fuhua had no background of a prominent family supporting him,
being the richest man in Yunhai City alone was more than a hundred times superior to the Zeng family!
What prestige did the Zeng family hold before him?
Seeing Qian Fuhua's cold smile, Zeng Hua was extremely displeased!
With the Zeng family patriarch's arrival, Zeng Hua felt he had a backer and his words became even more defiant.
"Dad, I merely asked Miss Su if she was willing to marry me, and I was berated!"
"That aside, a nobody brought by Miss Su dared to speak to me rudely!"
"Dad, the fact that these two women dared to do this clearly shows they look down on our Zeng family!"
As Zeng Hua spoke, he cast extremely venomous glances at Su Yuyan and Zhu Ling'er.
His expression suggested he wished he could see Su Yuyan and the other woman bleed on the spot!
The Zeng family patriarch's expression changed.
He turned to Qian Fuhua and said, "My son did not err. Rich Man Qian, your actions are truly going too far, aren't they?"
He had merely asked Su Yuyan if she was willing to marry him.
The Su family was merely a declining second-rate family!
But the Zeng family was on the rise!
What did Qian Fuhua's behavior mean?
Could it be that Qian Fuhua was also interested in Su Yuyan?
With this thought, the Zeng family patriarch's eyes darted around as he said, "Rich Man Qian, my son was unaware of your relationship with Miss Su. Now that my son has been punished, perhaps you could show some leniency."
"After all, there are only so many people in Yunhai City, we'll all run into each other eventually!"
Hearing the Zeng family patriarch's words, Qian Fuhua was both angered and frightened!
What nonsense was he talking!
What did he mean by his relationship with Su Yuyan?
Didn't he see Zhou Yu standing nearby!
If these words were truly misunderstood by Zhou Yu, Qian Fuhua would be in serious trouble!
With this in mind,
Qian Fuhua waved his hand and declared, "Initially, I thought Zeng Hua lacked education. Now it seems the entire Zeng family is rotten to the core!"
"Guards, escort the Zeng family out!"
At this, not only Zeng Hua but even the Zeng family patriarch stood frozen on the spot.
They could hardly believe their ears!
Qian Fuhua was showing them absolutely no respect?
"Oh, right. From now on, don't spread rumors that Miss Su and I have any kind of relationship."
"Miss Su's husband is someone you cannot afford to offend!"
Qian Fuhua added.
Only then did the Zeng family patriarch finally understand.
It wasn't that Qian Fuhua was interested in Su Yuyan.
It was clearly because Su Yuyan's husband held a distinguished position!
However, it was too late to realize this now.
The auction house guards immediately escorted the Zeng family out!
The Zeng family patriarch, along with Zeng Hua, stood in the parking lot.
Several family retainers were also present.
Without exception, everyone's expression was exceptionally grim!
"Dad, Qian Fuhua is simply going too far!"
Zeng Hua clenched his fists and said.
The Zeng family was now on the verge of becoming a first-rate family.
Even if others in Yunhai City looked down on the Zeng family in their hearts, they still had to give them face in public.
But Qian Fuhua,
he just kicked them out when he said so!
Even the Zeng family patriarch was expelled!
"Silence!"
The Zeng family patriarch reprimanded him, his brow furrowed deeply. He gazed in the direction of the venue for a long time without speaking.
From Qian Fuhua's words just now,
it was clear that Su Yuyan's husband was not some live-in son-in-law as rumored.
But rather, he had something extraordinary about him!
Otherwise, Qian Fuhua wouldn't have spoken so respectfully when mentioning him.
Thinking this, the Zeng family patriarch glanced sideways at his son, feeling a terrible headache coming on!
Originally, the Zeng family had only intended to make a grand appearance at this auction.
To pave a smoother path for the Zeng family's advancement to a first-rate family.
But now, it was all ruined by Zeng Hua!
For the sake of Su Yuyan,
he had not only incurred Qian Fuhua's displeasure, but might have also provoked an even more powerful figure…
The collaborations the Zeng family patriarch had been discussing were likely ruined as well!
"Dad, why are you looking at me like that?" Zeng Hua felt unnerved by his father's gaze and immediately jumped up.
The Zeng family patriarch stared at Zeng Hua's face, but in the end, he said nothing.
He turned and got into the car first.
As for the extent of the mess Zeng Hua had created,
it would depend on the attitude of those few partners moving forward!
Meanwhile, inside the auction house,
due to the Zeng family's incident, most of the people in the hall were discussing the Su family's affairs.
"Where did the Zeng family get the news that the Su family was nearing its end?"
"Sigh, who knows. Looking at Zeng Hua's arrogant demeanor, it's likely the Zeng family's recent rapid expansion has inflated their confidence!"
"The Su family is an established second-rate family. Even if they are indeed in decline, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse!"
"In my opinion, Zeng Hua is truly insatiable with his lust. He dared to harass Su Yuyan, without even considering what happened to Zhang Shaohua."
"What? Is the Zhang family incident related to the Su family?"
"I heard it, it might not be entirely accurate. I heard there is some connection..."
In any case, people in attendance had all sorts of things to say.
They had brought the long-dormant Su family back into public view!
Su Yuyan and Zhu Ling'er, walking on the road, could feel many people secretly sizing them up.
As for Zhou Yu,
he had been following behind them, like an invisible man!
"The Zeng family is truly going too far," Zhu Ling'er said with some displeasure.
They had already been kicked out, and yet they were still saying such things, wasn't that disgusting?
It was just that this was Yunhai City, not Zhu Ling'er's territory.
If this were Jiangnan City, Zhu Ling'er would make Zeng Hua wish he were dead!
Su Yuyan nodded gently, her delicate brows furrowed.
She had noticed earlier that Qian Fuhua had glanced towards Zhou Yu several times before speaking.
It seemed as if he were seeking Zhou Yu's approval.
This amplified her inner unease!
Qian Fuhua was the richest man in Yunhai City.
If even he deferred to Zhou Yu, how terrifying could Zhou Yu's true identity be?
Moreover,
the relationship between the Su family and Qian Fuhua could not be described as ordinary; they had no connection whatsoever!
A shrewd person like Qian Fuhua would definitely not offend the rising Zeng family for the sake of the Su family.
There was only one possibility.
That Qian Fuhua had come specifically for Zhou Yu!
With this thought, Su Yuyan stopped in her tracks and asked tentatively, "What if the Zeng family retaliates against us?"
"The Su family really cannot withstand much more turmoil right now!"
