"Madam Wu, who has done this to you?"
Yunyao hurriedly asked, her heart reaching the peak of shock!
Moreover, her reaction was even more intense than that of others because she too belonged to one of the Four Great Families and felt a certain sorrow for the misfortune of her kin.
After all, the Wu Family was not just one of the Four Great Families, but the leader of them all!
The other three families might squabble over who ranked second, but no one dared to question the Wu Family's position at the top.
Yet here was the Madam of Jiangnan's most elite household, publicly assaulted and left in such a state—how could Yunyao not be shocked?
Her first thought was that the person who hit Madam Wu must surely be mad!
"It was him, this bastard!"
Madam Wu imdiately pointed at Su Chen, who was standing not far from her, and spat out those words with flas of hatred burning in her eyes...
She knew that this mall belonged to the Yun Family, and upon seeing Yunyao, she felt as though she had seen her salvation.
Yunyao quickly followed the direction of Madam Wu's finger and saw a young man with a mischievous smirk on his lips.
"You?!"
When Yunyao recognized his face, she was even more astonished.
She could not believe that the person Madam Wu was pointing at was Su Chen, so-called elder brother to her own brother.
Seeing him deepened the shock in Yunyao's heart!
This guy was simply a disaster!
How could he stir up trouble everywhere he went, and the targets were always noteworthy—last ti he had an altercation with the eldest son of the Liu Family, and today it was Madam Wu!
But one thing remained the sa: his ruthlessness was no less.
Last ti, he went as far as to wield an iron rod against the eldest son of the Liu Family; today, though she had not seen the incident unfold, just by looking at Madam Wu's deanor, she knew the encounter must have been equally rciless!
"Miss Yun, we et again!"
Su Chen said with a smile, surprisingly not expecting to encounter Yunlong's sister here.
"Mr. Su, life really is full of unexpected encounters!"
Yunyao's heart was filled with doubts at this point—what should she do now?
If the assailant had been just anybody else, it might have been simple, but it was him; even in consideration of her brother's face, she could not act too harshly.
Besides, according to her brother, this man was not just anybody, but possibly soone even above the Four Great Families!
Even though she found it hard to believe her brother's words on a rational level, she had to tread carefully.
Stay connected with empire
On one side was the wife of the Family Head of the leading Wu Family, and on the other was her brother's elder brother, who might also be a significant figure!
What was she to do?
Many of the onlookers did not recognize Yunyao, but so did, and after so communication, they all beca aware.
Seeing two figures from the Four Great Families aroused even more excitent amongst the crowd, and they stayed to observe how things would unfold.
Especially upon seeing that Miss Yun seed to know the young man who had struck Madam Wu, they found the matter even more intriguing.
However, not everyone shared this sentint; at that mont, the store manager was scared out of her wits!
She never expected that the young man would know Miss Yun, who was responsible for the mall; a single word from her could cost the manager her job.
She was also frustrated, as the man who had appeared to be an average Joe not only dared to violently assault Madam Wu but also knew Miss Yun—who exactly was he?
Madam Wu, lying on the ground and realizing the two knew each other, was also startled and inexplicably fearful; she now placed all her hopes on Yunyao.
Ye i, anwhile, remained silent without expressing any attitude, entrusting all matters to the man; she felt that with him around, all problems would be solved!
Soon, all eyes converged on Yunyao as they waited to see how she would handle the situation.
"Co here, tell exactly what happened,"
Yunyao beckoned to the store manager, speaking with a stern face:
"Speak the truth, not a word concealed!"
"Yes, Miss Yun."
The store manager, trembling, walked over to Yunyao's side and recounted the events.
After listening to the manager's account, Yunyao also understood the general situation.
She had heard about the Wu Family's illegitimate daughter's intended marriage to the Situ Family, which had caused quite a stir among the other families for a while.
Because if the Wu Family were to cling to the high branches of Yandu's Situ Family, it would beco even more difficult to shake!
At that mont, she couldn't help but glance at Ye i standing behind Su Chen, realizing that this girl was the one whom the young master of the Situ Family was interested in — she really was beautiful!
Yunyao did not know that Ye i was the "Red Rose"; although she had heard of the Red Rose, she had never t her, since a Red Rose didn't have the status to draw the attention of the Four Great Families.
Yunyao's gaze soon fell on Su Chen, and she sighed to herself, so it turned out that he was risking his neck in a passion for a beauty today!
As for Su Chen's actions, Yunyao actually admired them in her heart, after all, every woman wishes to have a man who would be so boldly reckless for them!
However, admiration aside, still the troubleso matter at hand needed to be resolved!
Yunyao pondered for a mont and said:
"Well, I know both parties here. Consider this a favor to ; let's just call this a misunderstanding, what do you say?"
"Fine, I'll give Miss Yun this face, and we'll consider the matter settled today,"
The Lady Wu agreed after a mont's thought.
However, her agreent was not solely out of respect for Yunyao, but rather due to the current situation, what if the young man went mad and beat her up?
It was better to step down gracefully now and seek slow revenge later!
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Lady Wu was willing to reconcile.
In their minds, since Lady Wu was willing to make ands, the young man should agree too, especially considering the other party was from the Wu Family, and he had already beaten soone to this extent.
All eyes instantly fell on Su Chen, ready to see the young man nod in agreent, so they could disperse.
Ye i also tugged at him from behind, hoping he would let the matter rest, considering how much of a scene had already been made today.
Su Chen, however, shook his head and said lightly:
"I don't agree."
As soon as these words landed, everyone was sharply taken aback!
Had this young man lost his mind?
Lady Wu was willing to reconcile, and yet this youngster still refused!
After all, the other party was from the Jiangnan's leading Wu Family!
"It seems I have put Miss Yun in a difficult position!"
Su Chen smiled lightly, glancing at Yunyao.
Yunyao was indeed put on the spot. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't hesitate to support Su Chen, even considering her brother's relationship.
But the other party was from the Wu Family, a power far surpassing their own Yun Family!
How could Yunyao rashly offend such a behemoth?
