Xia Qiuru, although knowing less than Lin Ruoxue, still knew a bit about the grudge between Su Chen and the major families!
After all, so incidents had already caused quite a stir in Yandu!
So, at this mont, seeing Su Chen's expression, her heart couldn't help but tremble with fear that he might harbor so terrifying intention!
This was different from the previous incidents—after all, it was soone's wedding!
If he really made a scene there, the turmoil would be much greater than any previous incident!
It would be akin to a declaration of a fight to the death!
Although Su Chen had not suffered losses in several confrontations with the major families, even outmaneuvering them, the Five Great Families still held too much sway over the hearts of ordinary people!
Therefore, facing these great families, Xia Qiuru couldn't help but feel frightened and insignificant!
"How could I possibly cause trouble on such a joyous occasion as a wedding?"
In Su Chen's eyes, there was a layer of sly sharpness as he said:
"If I were to go, it would be to offer congratulations!"
Listening to him put it this way, Xia Qiuru beca even more uneasy, especially on hearing the words "offer congratulations"—it was as if she had a sense of panic, feeling as though so major event was about to happen!
"Su Chen, you mustn't be impulsive!"
Xia Qiuru still felt uneasy and cautioned him again.
"Don't worry."
Su Chen smiled faintly.
Because he had been reassured about Ye i's situation, Su Chen actually felt hungry, so he went ahead and polished off the rest of the food Xia Qiuru had left unfinished!
Xia Qiuru found his behavior even more puzzling; he had started off so worried about his missing friend that he couldn't even eat, just smoking in silence.
But after hearing about the third young master of the Situ Family's wedding, it seed as though he had shifted all his focus there!
Now, he was eating heartily again, as if he had encountered sothing delightful!
Was he no longer worried about his friend?
Wasn't this change in attitude a bit too quick?
Full of questions about Su Chen, Xia Qiuru didn't quite know how to ask them.
"I'm done eating; let's go back!"
After finishing his al, Su Chen casually wiped his mouth and stood up with a smile.
"Okay."
Xia Qiuru nodded in agreent.
The two then walked back to the company. As soon as Su Chen arrived, he imdiately made a phone call to Yunlong, asking him to find out the na of Situ Guang's bride-to-be.
Although Su Chen was almost certain it was Ye i, he still did this to be absolutely certain.
After the last business war, Yunlong had also helped the group climb a significant step, now being part of Yandu's upper echelon.
And since the Situ Family's wedding was sure to invite those upper-class individuals, it was easier for Yunlong to gather information.
In no ti, Yunlong had the information. As Su Chen had guessed, the bride's na was indeed Ye i!
With this, Su Chen's heart was completely at ease!
At the sa ti, other thoughts began to stir within him...
"Right, I've got to tell Yaning quickly to reassure her."
A mont later, Su Chen suddenly rembered and hurriedly made another call to Xiao Yaning, informing her that there was news of Ye i and telling her not to worry.
As for Xiao Yaning's questions about Ye i's current whereabouts, he didn't ntion it, only saying that she would surely see her after she returned from Jiangbei in a few days.
Actually, this matter is also tricky, Xiao Yaning was not in Jianghai, and if she had been there, she would have imdiately suspected that the Wu Family was behind it.
Because at this mont in Jianghai, and even throughout the entire Jiangnan, the news of the Wu Family's daughter being married off to the third son of the Situ Family from Yandu was spreading like wildfire!
Xiao Yaning was also aware that the Wu Family had always been pressuring Ye i to marry Situ Guang, so if she knew about this matter, would she not have guessed that it was related to the Wu Family?
When Xiao Yaning heard Su Chen speak like this, she always felt that this guy was being secretive, but since he said that Ye i was fine, she did believe him and felt sowhat relieved!
Of course, Su Chen also made a phone call to Jiang Lixing afterward, telling him not to look anymore, as he had already found her.
At the sa ti, he also casually inquired about any progress on the case of the murdered young girls, only to receive disappointing news.
However, this was what he had anticipated, but the matter of the Blood Cultivator always left him sowhat uneasy, and every ti he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable!
After all, so many young girls in the pri of their lives! It was simply too cruel!
It was just that this case was particularly difficult to investigate, especially since Su Chen suspected it was very likely that the perpetrator was under the protection of so power in Jiangnan—how to investigate that?
Su Chen shook his head, not wanting to think about these troubling matters for the ti being.
Seeing that there was nothing else to deal with, Su Chen then went back ho to continue his cultivation.
As for Ye i's matter, he wasn't in a hurry at all...
....
anwhile, in the main hall of the Wu Family in Jianghai.
Old Madam Wu sat at the head of the hall, with Wu Jingui and his son Wu Yuanli to one side, and Wu Jinjun, Liang Jing, and Wu Yuanpin on the other.
"Second son, how did your talk with that girl go?"
Old Madam Wu turned her head and looked at Wu Jinjun as she asked.
"......"
Facing Old Madam Wu's question, Wu Jinjun didn't utter a word.
"Speak if you have sothing to say!"
Old Madam Wu coldly snorted, having controlled the Wu Family single-handedly for so many years, she least tolerated Wu Jinjun's hesitant and indecisive nature.
"She... she wouldn't speak a word with ,"
Wu Jinjun mumbled his reply. When he had gone to talk to Ye i just a mont ago, she did not even engage in conversation with him, let alone give him a glance, as if her birth father was a stranger to her.
This left Wu Jinjun quite embarrassed, and after staying for a while, he slunk out!
"If she doesn't want to talk, then let it be, it's no big deal. After all, we have her mother in our hands; we're not afraid of her causing any trouble!"
Liang Jing said dismissively, frowning.
She was quite dissatisfied with the current situation of having to coax that wild girl by all ans. Although she could bear it for the sake of her son's future—since, in her eyes, Wu Yuanpin was already the future head of the Wu Family—
That wild girl had always been impenetrable, constantly making her angry and feeling quite embarrassed!
"Sister-in-law, I don't agree with your view. It would be best if she could be persuaded to agree willingly,"
Wu Jingui spoke up slowly from the other side.
"Do you think I don't wish for that?"
Liang Jing glanced at Wu Jingui and said:
"Besides, you said the sa thing last ti, and in the end, even after negotiating with three-tenths of the Wu Family's assets, she didn't agree. How was that any better?"
"Yes, I too didn't expect her to be so determined,"
Wu Jingui smiled faintly and said:
"My point is, no matter what she's like, we must still show enough willingness. What if she suddenly softens her stance? As for her mother, that's just our last resort to keep things under control!"
