Li Qianfan was the absolute core.
Su Nanyin was about to discuss very important matters with President Zhao and the others, but she wanted to send him away.
This made Li Qianfan very displeased.
So he—
When President Zhao heard Li Qianfan's words, he instinctively bowed and looked under the table.
With just one glance, President Zhao quickly sat back in his original position and picked up his teacup.
Su Nanyin's pretty face turned red again.
What was wrong with stepping on his foot?
Who told him to deliberately avoid her?
Since he wasn't sitting with President Zhao or Li Wujiang, and insisted on sitting with her; then to make a move to avoid her was to humiliate her. Her stepping on his foot was a small lesson, was it wrong?
Definitely not wrong!
But Li Qianfan politely asked her to remove her foot in front of President Zhao.
What was this?
It was no different than saying directly: "Look everyone, the great Empress Su is actively seducing a young stud."
Who wouldn't have their face turn red and be filled with embarrassment?
Especially at a time when the rumors had not yet subsided and new ones were already emerging.
What would President Zhao, who had previously believed they were innocent, think after witnessing this scene?
He would only think that she claimed "we are innocent" verbally, but in secret, she was using all sorts of means to force the young stud to submit at her feet.
Su Nanyin wanted to kill—
But Li Qianfan quickly got up, patted his backside, and quickly walked out the door, leaving with a flourish.
"You brat, just you wait."
Su Nanyin picked up her water cup and gulped it down like wine, roaring like a mother leopard in her heart.
Click.
Su Nanyin was Su Nanyin. After she gently put down her teacup, her expression had already returned to normal.
She began to get down to business.
This business, of course, was not about Li Wujiang going crazy and stepping on multiple wealthy families as soon as he returned to Sijiu.
After all, with the truth that "the child's mother was beaten out," as long as Li Wujiang didn't cause any deaths, the wealthy families who were stepped on would have to swallow their grievances.
If it were Li Qianfan who stepped on multiple wealthy families without causing any deaths, it would definitely cause a strong backlash.
But it was Li Wujiang who stepped on them—
It was already a relief that no lives were lost!
"President Zhao, Wujiang."
Su Nanyin straightened her attitude: "What do you think of Helan Tingmei?"
President Zhao and Li Wujiang exchanged glances and slowly shook their heads.
No flattery, no criticism—
Before the Spring Festival.
President Zhao, who wanted to help the Helan family because of his daughter-in-law, wanted Helan Tingmei to be Li Wujiang's secretary.
Li Wujiang, who had long known that Helan Tingmei was capable, also agreed.
But on the first day of the Spring Festival, when Helan Tingmei refused Li Qianfan's New Year's greetings in the most straightforward words; especially her lingering in the Miao family, wanting to profit from the fall of the Helan family in the Miao family, these two incidents made President Zhao very disappointed.
"It's really strange."
President Zhao said: "For decades, three generations of the Helan family have produced a grand-aunt who is willing to do anything for the benefit of her maternal family. The first generation was Helan Xiaoxin, the second generation was Helan Xuejing. The third generation is Helan Tingmei. What's even stranger is that these three generations of grand-aunts in the Helan family, as long as the Helan family's interests are involved, their IQs are miraculously lowered, and they become short-sighted."
He was stating facts.
"Yes. Perhaps for the Helan family, this is a curse."
Li Wujiang also said with the most objective attitude: "No matter how this curse was formed. But since Helan Tingmei is wholeheartedly thinking of her maternal family, then she is no longer qualified to join the Dark Blade."
Su Nanyin, however, looked at her: "Have you ever considered that this curse of the Helan family might be related to your Li family?"
"Are you referring to the matter between Madam Helan and my father-in-law, Helan Xuejing and Mr. Jia (Li Xiao)?"
Li Wujiang frowned: "What connection would Helan Tingmei have with Qianfan?"
Before Su Nanyin could answer.
Li Wujiang said resolutely: "Impossible! Qianfan had no dealings with Helan Tingmei before the Spring Festival. Even after the Spring Festival, the two times they had dealings, they were almost at the point of tearing each other apart. There is no curse from the previous two generations between them."
"If I say—"
Su Nanyin lowered her eyelids and said softly: "Except that Helan Tingmei is younger than me, her birth date and time are completely the same as mine?"
What?
Helan Tingmei's birth date and time are the same as yours?
What do you mean by that?
Li Wujiang was stunned for a moment, then she and President Zhao exchanged a quick glance.
"Wujiang, I haven't told you the secret of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Chamber yet. I was afraid you would overthink it, and even more afraid that the Li family's Empress Dowager Xiao would use brute force to make me wear the shackles and kneel for Qianfan's safety."
Su Nanyin pursed her lips and, in the most concise way possible, told Li Wujiang the secret of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Chamber.
Li Wujiang's eyes widened, her mouth half-open, her face filled with disbelief.
Although President Zhao already knew the secret of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Chamber, as Su Nanyin explained it to Li Wujiang, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"How, how is that possible?" Kuaishuge
After Su Nanyin finished speaking, Li Wujiang raised her hand and vigorously rubbed her face.
She hoped Su Nanyin was talking nonsense—
Even though she had casually joked with Su Nanyin before about helping her son capture them all.
But when destiny was truly heading in this direction, Li Wujiang found it unbearable!
Talk is talk, jokes are jokes.
Li Wujiang, after all, was not Empress Dowager Xiao, who regarded ethics and morals as nothing.
The bottom line and principles she adhered to could never be touched.
She also firmly believed that her son, rather than grow old and die, would never touch those bottom lines!
"This is the fact."
Su Nanyin looked up at the window and said softly: "Ever since Qianfan appeared in our family, the formation of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Chamber has been set. And it has already had a significant effect. I no longer suffer from insomnia; I feel empty if I don't see Qianfan for a day; even in front of you, I can't help but want to touch him. You all saw it just now."
"This can't go on any longer!"
Li Wujiang said sternly: "Qianfan must leave the Su family. Let alone him being a young man in his prime, even I would be tempted seeing you. If he continues to be in the Su family, you will sooner or later break the last layer of window paper! I would rather my son grow old and die in more than seven months than commit an unforgivable mistake."
President Zhao remained silent, picking up a cigarette.
Su Nanyin looked at Li Wujiang.
Her expression was blank: "If your son dies, I will die too."
Li Wujiang's tone was stiff: "Then go to the underworld and do what you have to do."
Su Nanyin stared directly into her eyes and slowly asked: "Can you truly bear to let him die?"
Li Wujiang's lips moved—
She lowered her head, picked up a bottle of white wine from under the table, opened the cap, and drank it down as if it were cool water, gulping it down.
After drinking more than half the bottle in one go.
She heavily placed the wine bottle on the table, sniffed, and said with difficulty: "I can't bear it."
"I can't bear it either. If he dies, what will happen to my Su family?"
Su Nanyin said softly: "Therefore, I suggest that Helan Tingmei join the Dark Blade. Don't let her be your secretary, give her the position of Second Deputy Manager, specifically responsible for a certain business."
President Zhao spoke: "Just because Helan Tingmei's birth date and time match yours. What does Qianfan's premature death and your letting her join the Dark Blade have to do with each other?"
"President Zhao, Wujiang."
Su Nanyin raised her head and said, almost word for word: "I, asked, Master Baiyun Du. If my liver and kidneys, and even my heart, were transplanted into Helan Tingmei. It would also have the effect of inhibiting Qianfan's premature death and ensuring the stability of maritime transport."
What!?
President Zhao's and Li Wujiang's eyes widened.
After a long time.
Li Wujiang stammered: "Do you mean, let Helan Tingmei live in your place?"
"Transplant my liver, kidneys, and even heart into Helan Tingmei, who has the exact same birth date and time as me. Let her replace me in inhibiting Qianfan's aging and stabilizing the Four Phoenixes Circling the Chamber."
Su Nanyin said: "This is the only, and the best, solution. Only in this way can Qianfan and I avoid touching the final bottom line. Only then can we ensure that he grows old, and I can face anyone after death with a clear conscience! Otherwise, as you said, Wujiang, with the increasing power of the feng shui formation on me, I will eventually be unable to control myself and will have a 99% chance of setting a trap against Qianfan, thus making a heinous mistake and dying in vain to meet the deceased."
Hoo.
A night wind, from who knows where, blew open the slightly ajar living room door.
Li Wujiang, as if in a dream, and President Zhao shivered together.
Li Wujiang suddenly stood up and quickly walked to the door.
Her mobile phone buzzed with an incoming call.
It was Empress Dowager Xiao.
With a chaotic heart, Li Wujiang picked up the phone and quickly went out.
She came to the courtyard and then answered: "Mom."
Yang Xiao always spoke to Li Wujiang in a cold and indifferent tone: "I already know how to stop Qianfan from aging to death. I will handle this matter as soon as possible. But I will need your help, especially Su Nanyin's."
Yang Xiao needed Su Nanyin's help—
It was because if she wanted to find the Gu King in Miao territory, Su Nanyin, who had lived in Lingnan for many years, would definitely be a great help.
But how did Li Wujiang understand it?
She asked hoarsely: "Mom! Do you also support Su Nanyin being Qianfan's woman?"
Before Empress Dowager Xiao could say anything—
Li Wujiang shook her head: "No! I can unconditionally obey you in other matters. But in this matter alone, I will not agree! I would rather Qianfan die than let him have a substantive relationship with Su Nanyin!"
