Lin Ruoxue didn't know that Su Chen's tomfoolery today was also an attempt to lighten his own mood a bit.
But today was too special for him!
The issue with Ye i was just a minor matter and not difficult to solve!
What was more important was that he wanted to bring a thorough closure to the events of the past today!
Because of the Situ Family's wedding, the key figures of the Five Great Families would definitely be present!
Could there be a better occasion or a better ti than this?
Although he had fooled around with Lin Ruoxue for a bit, Su Chen's heart still found it hard to truly calm down!
After all, it had been a huge burden pressing down on him for nearly twenty years, like shackles and chains binding him, preventing him from ever truly relaxing!
Could he really calm down at this mont? Of course it was impossible!
Hadn't he been waiting for this day for so many years?
Of course, he wasn't going to head to the Situ Family right now; after all, it was too early, and the real drama wouldn't unfold until the evening!
So he turned around and went upstairs to continue his cultivation. His cultivation today wasn't for the purpose of improving his skills but to calm his spirit!
......
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the Situ courtyard, Situ Ping was wearing a sharp suit, greeting the guests!
Although so guests had arrived in the morning, they were relatives or those with particularly close relations on normal days and didn't require his personal reception.
But the guests coming in the afternoon were far too many high-status ones, and as the father of Situ Guang, it was naturally his inescapable duty.
Currently, Situ Ping was the most favored among the younger generation by the old master; if nothing went wrong, he would definitely inherit the position of Family Head!
Therefore, his status within the family also rose substantially!
Even if the old master were to kick the bucket early, to consider legacy, he might even take the position of Family Head until his son matured and was ready to take it over!
After all, when the big families choose their successors, they can't only look at one generation!
This is also why the great families, compared to the middle-aged generation, care more about the younger generation!
And all this, was sothing the forr Situ Ping couldn't even have imagined.
Just then, a Rolls-Royce limousine stopped not far from the entrance. An elderly man in traditional Chinese attire and full of spirit ca down from the car!
Following him was a host of people.
"Uncle Zheng Shi, you've arrived so early!"
Situ Ping's eyes lit up, and he imdiately went up to greet him, his face full of respectful smiles!
He didn't expect Patriarch Zheng to co so early!
"It's your nephew's wedding; how could the old man not co early? I also want to bask in the wedding bliss!"
Patriarch Zheng laughed heartily.
Following that, the other mbers of the Zheng Family also congratulated Situ Ping, who thanked them continuously.
"Where is your father?"
Zheng Yuxian then asked.
"He's in the backyard. Shall I lead you there?"
Situ Ping said with a slight smile.
"No need, you take care of your affairs; I'll find him myself."
Patriarch Zheng waved his hand and walked in with a smile, and the others followed.
Shortly after Patriarch Zheng and his group had entered, Su Yuan and Su Tai both supported an old man as they ca over.
Of course, other mbers of the Su Family followed behind them!
"Uncle Su Shi, you've also co so early!"
Situ Ping was slightly taken aback but imdiately went up to et them.
"From your tone, it seems like you're not welcoming ?"
Su Chun said with a teasing smile.
"How could I dare! It's an imnse honor that you've co!"
Situ Ping promptly responded.
"You just said you've co so early as well, aning soone arrived before ?"
Su Chun casually asked.
"Oh, Uncle Zheng Shi just arrived a little while ago."
Situ Ping answered.
"That old guy is quite early!"
Su Chun said aningfully and then led the Su Family mbers inside.
Of course, the other mbers of the Su Family also offered their congratulations and blessings before they entered.
Watching the retreating figures of the Su Family mbers, Situ Ping's brows furrowed deeply!
This situation is way too abnormal!
Normally, these major clans always make their appearance at the very end of any event!
It's a display of face and dignity!
But now it's only three o'clock, isn't it too early?
If the Zheng Family ca early because they have close ties with the Situ Family, or even marital relations, that would be understandable.
But it's baffling why the Su Family would also co this early!
Just as he stood there, stunned, suddenly another large group of people ca walking over!
Situ Ping looked up and was imdiately dumbstruck!
The Shen Family?
They've co this early too?
Though filled with questions, he did not dare to neglect them and once again went up to greet them enthusiastically.
After a round of cordial greetings, Shen Mingchang led the mbers of the Shen Family inside.
By now, Situ Ping was completely flustered!
What on earth is going on today?
It's too abnormal!
He acutely sensed that these people coming so early must not be because of his son's wedding; his son didn't have that much clout!
Their early arrival surely indicated so other motive, and he had a vague feeling that sothing big was about to happen!
Could it be sothing minor that had alard these esteed individuals?
But with the other families having all arrived, why hadn't the Pei Family co yet?
However, it wasn't his place to inquire into such matters yet, so with his questions unanswered, he continued to welco the guests at the entrance!
....
After a half day of cultivation, Su Chen's True Yuan reached a full and harmonious state within his body!
More importantly, his heart, which had been sowhat restless and uneasy in the morning, had completely cald down!
"Alright, ti to go!"
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, then got out of bed; he had been sitting in ditation on it before.
After leaving the bed, he went down to the bathroom on the first floor, and when he erged from the bathroom, he looked like a completely different person!
Even Lin Ruoxue wouldn't recognize him now, let alone others!
Su Chen didn't drive himself, but instead went to the community entrance and hailed a taxi to the Situ mansion!
The taxi driver, upon hearing that Su Chen wanted to go to the Situ Family, asked curiously:
"Boss, are you going to attend the wedding of the third young master of the Situ Family?"
"Yes,"
Su Chen replied with a faint smile.
"That's really lucky! I envy you! It's a pity that we ordinary folks don't get the chance to see those grand family estates in our lifeti!"
The driver said with a sigh.
"Do you want to go?"
Su Chen then asked with a smile.
"Who wouldn't? It's the wedding of the Situ Family we're talking about!"
The driver sighed, then glanced at Su Chen through the rearview mirror:
"I'm just curious, boss, but don't people usually drive themselves to such events? Why are you taking a taxi?"
This boss seed quite talkative, but that's also a characteristic of Yandu drivers—they love to chat!
"My car is in for repairs,"
Su Chen replied nonchalantly, with a light smile.
"Oh, I see."
The driver took another look at Su Chen and said:
"But no offense, boss, you're dressed way too casually. How can you wear casual clothes to a wedding at the Situ Family?"
"As long as the intention is there, what one wears isn't that important,"
Su Chen replied with a slight smile.
"That's true, but it's not about what you say, it's about what gift you bring,"
The driver nodded and said:
"Ordinary gifts won't impress the Situ Family!"
"Don't worry, I've prepared a generous gift they're sure to be satisfied with,"
Su Chen said, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
