Su Qishan, seeing this, gritted his teeth in anger.
"Zhou Yu, don't get too cocky. Don't think we don't know you tricked Yu Yan into getting the marriage certificate!" Zhang Ruofen continued her attack.
She dared not lay a hand on him, but that didn't mean she couldn't use her words.
Tricked?
Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words.
But before he could say anything, Su Yu Yan spoke first, "Auntie Fen, it's not what you think. Zhou Yu didn't trick me. In fact, I was the one who pulled him along to do it."
"Nonsense! Yu Yan, haven't you embarrassed our Su family enough?" Su Qishan yelled.
The world says a daughter, once grown, leaves her parents' home.
But Su Yu Yan's betrayal of her family's interests was too swift.
Therefore, Su Qishan was even more convinced that his daughter being tricked by Zhou Yu was an undeniable fact.
It made sense.
With Zhou Yu's strength as a martial arts master, if he didn't want to cling to the Su family, he could have easily shaken off Su Yu Yan when she forcefully dragged him out.
But he didn't.
Furthermore, Zhou Yu didn't have to go so far as to slaughter everyone sent by the Zhang family.
And what was the result?
He still chose to annihilate all of them.
Su Qishan was almost certain that Zhou Yu intended to become a son-in-law of the Su family through this.
What a scheme!
"Dad, your daughter is grown up. She has her own ideas. Who I marry is none of your business."
Su Yu Yan, facing Su Qishan's fiery gaze, forced herself to say these words.
Originally, she wouldn't have dared to.
But Zhou Yu's large hand seemed to transmit a kind of strength to her, giving her the courage.
"Yu Yan! Don't forget, you are a young lady of the Su family! As a member of the Su family, you must always consider the prosperity of the family. Otherwise, do you think you are worthy of your grandfather who has doted on you since childhood?" Su Qishan said.
At this moment, he could only use Grandpa Su to pressure her.
This was because the person Su Yu Yan respected the most was her grandfather.
Zhang Ruofen chimed in, "Yes, Yu Yan, don't ever forget that everything you've eaten and worn over the years has been provided by the Su family, not by someone surnamed Zhou!"
The psychological offensive from Su Qishan and his wife had a noticeable effect.
Hearing these words, Su Yu Yan immediately pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Zhou Yu sat to the side, shaking his head silently.
It seemed Su Yu Yan still couldn't break through this barrier.
Zhou Yu had initially thought that if he wanted Su Yu Yan to completely escape the family's control, her inner strength needed to be sufficient.
Therefore, he let Su Yu Yan face Su Qishan and his wife alone.
But Su Qishan and Zhang Ruofen had clearly instilled the idea of 'family first' into Su Yu Yan over the years.
Seeing that his daughter had fallen silent, Su Qishan once again turned his attention to Zhou Yu.
He sneered, "Zhou Yu, you attempted to become my Su family's son-in-law through this method, but unfortunately, we are not foolish and have already seen through your scheme."
"Son-in-law? Uncle Su, what are you implying?" Zhou Yu asked, astonished.
When had he ever said he wanted to be a son-in-law?
And even if he wanted to, he could have married into a top-tier family. Why bother with the second-rate Su family?
"Oh! Still pretending?" Zhang Ruofen crossed her arms, self-righteously exposing him, "With your skills, if you weren't planning to become our Su family's son-in-law, would Yu Yan have been able to drag you out earlier? You tricked Yu Yan into getting the certificate, and you killed so many people from the Zhang family. Isn't it all to bind yourself to our Su family, and then have us clean up your mess?"
After speaking, Zhang Ruofen stared confidently at Zhou Yu.
She believed her deduction was foolproof.
"I need your Su family to clean up the mess for me?" Zhou Yu was stunned again.
He felt as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Those people from the Zhang family, if they were killed, they were killed.
Even if he didn't take the initiative to find someone to deal with it, someone would handle it.
But the reaction of Su Qishan and his wife made it seem as if they thought he had done it deliberately to provoke a conflict between the Su and Zhang families, thereby climbing aboard the Su family's 'grand ship'.
Truly a preposterous notion.
"Wasn't it?" Su Qishan coldly snorted.
He used to often hear Grandpa Su talk about how powerful Zhou Yu's master was and how noble his status was.
But over the years, Su Qishan had never heard any news about Zhou Yu's master.
When he asked Grandpa Su for details, Grandpa Su refused to divulge anything.
Therefore, Su Qishan felt that his father had misjudged. Zhou Yu's master was merely a stronger martial artist, not someone of the reclusive master level.
Today.
Su Qishan met Zhou Yu for the first time. He thought this young man would have some backbone.
Unexpectedly, this young man resorted to any means necessary just to become a son-in-law of the Su family.
From this, it was clear that Su Qishan had overestimated Zhou Yu and his master.
"Uncle Su, today I killed dozens of Zhang family henchmen and two martial arts masters. Rest assured, I will not rely on the Su family's influence at all to help me deal with this matter."
Zhou Yu looked at Su Qishan calmly and continued, "As for Yu Yan and me, it's already a done deal. I hope your Su family will not obstruct it any further. If Uncle Su can agree, I will present a grand gift in a few days."
Zhou Yu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, striking a perfect balance.
He didn't want to escalate the situation too much, but he also didn't want Su Qishan and his wife to continue their taunts.
"Dad, Auntie Fen, no matter what, it has come to this. I beg you to grant my wish and Zhou Yu's."
Su Yu Yan stepped forward, her gaze firm.
Bang!
Su Qishan slammed the teacup on the table to the ground.
With an expression of disappointment and anger, he pointed at Su Yu Yan and yelled, "Grant your wish? Who will grant my wish, who will grant our Su family's wish?"
"Yu Yan, are you trying to anger your father to death?"
Zhang Ruofen, afraid that the father and daughter weren't arguing loudly enough, continued to add fuel to the fire.
But Su Yu Yan had made up her mind.
Facing her father's reprimand, she still stood her ground.
Seeing this, Su Qishan had to bring up Grandpa Su once again.
"Yu Yan, when your grandfather arranged this marriage for you, he hoped you would marry well and live a better life in the future. But since Zhou Yu and you are not well-matched, why are you still fixated on that engagement?"
In Su Qishan's view, it must have been Su Yu Yan's promise that led her to be tricked by Zhou Yu.
His daughter was good in every way, except that she couldn't adapt to the situation.
The Zhang family was doing very well in Yunhai City, and perhaps in a few more years, they might even have a chance to become a top-tier family!
Zhou Yu, how could he compare to Zhang Shaohua of the Zhang family?
An abandoned son cast out by a top family in Jiangnan was destined to never rise in his life, only to stay in a remote, nameless prison, earning a few thousand yuan a month.
"Dad, please stop persuading me. I've already made myself clear. Getting the marriage certificate with Zhou Yu wasn't him tricking me; it was my active suggestion. The deed is done, and it's useless for you to go back on your word." Su Yu Yan said.
This time, she was determined to stick to her guns.
Her marriage was her own decision!
She, Su Yu Yan, meant what she said!
Neither her father nor her grandfather could decide her future.
