556: Chapter 553 Moving the Car 556: Chapter 553 Moving the Car Xiong Sandao saw those people beaten and chased away, hurried over to flatter and said, “Su Xuan, your strength is still very strong.
In Rongcheng City, I feel like you no longer have any rivals.”
Su Xuan was amused but did not respond.
Now, anyone who would go for a one-on-one duel must be a fool.
“May I ask who you are?”
Old Lai’s son, Lai Yongjin, ca over to ask.
This ti, Su Xuan had helped the Lai family out of a siege.
“Qingshan City, Su Xuan.
These two are my friends.
We ca to visit Old Lai.”
Su Xuan said.
Lai Yongjin apologized, “I’m really sorry.
My dad went out on business and hasn’t returned.
He didn’t ntion what he was doing or when he would be back.”
Su Xuan nodded.
As soon as Xiong Sandao heard this, he imdiately grew impatient.
He had brought a large amount of valuable calligraphy and paintings to ask for favors, and after all this ti, the man of the house was not at ho.
What’s more important was that Xiong Sandao felt the Lai family tree was about to fall; people bullied them right to their doorstep, and they didn’t dare to let out a fart, good for nothing.
Su Xuan had already noticed Xiong Sandao’s dissatisfaction.
If you’re dissatisfied, then just go back by yourself, he thought.
“Let take a look at this.”
Lai Yongjin took the invitation from the old butler’s hands and examined it closely, his brows almost knitting together.
“The master isn’t ho; we should not go,” the old butler advised.
Lai Yongjin could only sigh helplessly and shake his head, saying, “Well, well, our Lai family truly has no one to send.”
Seeing their reaction, Su Xuan wondered what was troubling them so much.
When Su Xuan looked at it, it turned out to be an invitation for a martial arts competition for marriage prospects.
What surprised Su Xuan even more was that the organizer was none other than the renowned Che Family from Beijing!
The Che Family had always sent Xiong Sandao to fra Su Xuan, which had never worked out.
In fact, Su Xuan also knew the Che Family hated him.
It’s just that this ti, the coincidence was too much.
Initially, Su Xuan thought what’s there to worry about with a martial arts marriage competition.
Later, he found a condition at the bottom of the invitation stating that if participants didn’t rank within the top three, they would have to give up half of their entire personal wealth as a dowry for the newlyweds.
“Why wouldn’t you participate in such a great opportunity?” Su Xuan asked, not understanding.
Surely, not many n would be willing to take part in such an old-fashioned martial arts marriage competition.
“You’re wrong to think that way,” the old butler said.
“The top spots this ti are definitely already fixed.
If we participate, they can rightfully contend for our business in Beijing.
If we don’t participate, they’ll use it as an excuse to say we look down on them, thus giving them a reason to trouble us.”
Lai Yongjin added, “The old butler is right.
The Che Family has been too presumptuous these past few years.
Our Lai family’s business has suffered from exclusion on all fronts.
I think it’s definitely their doing behind the scenes.”
After reading the invitation, Su Xuan didn’t feel as troubled as the others.
In fact, he beca excited.
Such an opportunity was not easy to co by, and if no one else was participating, he would!
When the Lai family heard that Su Xuan wanted to participate on their behalf, everyone shook their heads.
If they didn’t place in the top three, they would have to forfeit half of their family’s wealth.
However, if one managed to win first place, the prize money would be imnse.
Those families not placing in the top three would have to give up half their wealth to the newlyweds, aning if he beca the groom, his wealth would double overnight, reaching the pinnacle of life, and marrying a rich and beautiful woman.
Su Xuan was sowhat looking forward to marrying the Miss of the Che Family, not just for the woman but also for the significant sum of money that would help pump funds into Fenghua Group, giving it a chance to go public on the NASDAQ.
“If I win first place, I will even share so money with you.
Isn’t that a fantastic opportunity?”
Su Xuan said confidently, even more eager about the marriage competition.
The old butler advised, “Young man, you shouldn’t think like that.
The price of losing is significant; this isn’t child’s play.”
“I understand it all.”
Su Xuan was very confident.
In this world, if there was anyone stronger than Su Xuan, he only recognized one person—the Military God.
They had battled to a draw once, and as for others, Su Xuan had never truly acknowledged anyone’s superiority.
It was pointless for Su Xuan to participate if he didn’t have a spot, but he thought of using the Lai family’s spot this ti, although they feared failure.
Luckily, the event was two days away, so Su Xuan had so ti to let them consider it well.
That evening, Su Xuan and the others returned to the hotel.
Xiong Sandao expressed his desire to head back to Rongcheng City first, reasoning that since he couldn’t et Old Lai, he might as well go back earlier.
“Alright then, I’ll stay and have fun here for a few more days.”
Su Xuan didn’t bother to try to keep Xiong Sandao.
After all, there are only everlasting interests, not everlasting friends.
In fact, Xiong Sandao had two reasons for returning to Rongcheng City, and not being able to et Old Lai was hardly one of them.
One reason was that Xiong Sandao saw the current weakness of the Lai family.
Once they might have been one of the overlords, but tis had changed, and he no longer felt motivated to seek help from them.
The second reason was hearing about Su Xuan’s intention to participate in the Che Family’s martial arts marriage competition.
The Che Family—that had just abandoned Xiong Sandao!
Xiong Sandao couldn’t stand the sight of the Che Family and also feared they might do sothing to prevent him from returning to Rongcheng City.
After much thought, Xiong Sandao decided to head back earlier.
The painstakingly accumulated paintings and calligraphy would have to be sold off cheaply.
After Xiong Sandao left, Su Xuan and Liu Sheng had a much quieter ti and more freedom in their conversations.
Liu Sheng asked, “Do you really want to take part in that martial arts marriage competition?”
“Yeah.”
Liu Sheng advised, “I think it’s quite dangerous.
If it’s possible to avoid it, I would advise you not to go.
There must be many traps set, and winners are probably pre-selected.
Going there would only make a wedding dress for soone else.
It’s not worth it.”
Su Xuan nodded and said, “I understand all that, but I still want to give it a try.
However, I’m sowhat uneasy about betting with half of the Lai family’s wealth.
If I win, the wealth doubles, but if I lose, I can still use Fenghua Group to cover it.
Fenghua Group was left to by my father, Su Chenggong.
Thinking of this, Su Xuan hesitated.”
“My advice is still not to bet on it.”
Liu Sheng said, looking at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan was cautious as well, “Let’s wait for a bit, after all, there are still two days left, Old Lai might co back within these two days.”
That night, Su Xuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
He thought about a lot of things and took out his phone to check WeChat, where he found a ssage from the artsy girl.
She ntioned that she would definitely find an opportunity to take Su Xuan out for a al soon, as she didn’t like to owe others.
“Hmm, I’ll wait for you.”
Su Xuan sent the ssage.
Now that it was the middle of the night, he didn’t expect an instant reply, yet the girl replied imdiately.
At this late hour, he was almost speechless that she hadn’t gone to bed yet.
“Why are you still up?”
Before Su Xuan could send those few words, he received a playful emoji from her, saying, “Night owl, still not sleeping.”
“I’m troubled, can’t sleep,” Su Xuan typed and sent off.
“Sa here, troubled and can’t sleep.”
“Both are castaways in distant lands.”
“Why et only to feel we’ve never known each other.”
He didn’t expect the girl to respond with such well-matched verses.
Suddenly the girl asked, “When can we et again?
I still want to ask you about Hemingway.”
“You’ll naturally see when you take out for a al,” Su Xuan sent along with a laughing emoticon.
“That’s true.” The girl sent back a comical expression.
“I heard you’re locked up at ho all day, is that true?
If necessary, I can co rescue you.”
“Forget it, but thanks anyway.
By the way, are you free tomorrow?
I’ll take you out for a al.”
“Out for a al?
I thought you couldn’t get out?”
“I can sneak out.”
“…”
“You’ll have to cover for then, or I’m afraid I’ll get caught and taken back.”
“No problem.
(laugh)”
Su Xuan was especially looking forward to having a al with the artsy girl.
“So, what’s your phone number?”
Su Xuan sent his own phone number over: “178…”
The other side quickly replied with an OK gesture to indicate she’d saved it.
The next day, because Su Xuan was going on a date with the artsy girl, he could only leave Liu Sheng alone at the hotel.
He told him to go out and have so fun, and to check out the local historical sites, as this trip’s expenses would be fully reimbursed.
When it ca to full reimbursent, Liu Sheng nodded and left.
Su Xuan knew the money his son had spent on the treatnt was astronomical for him.
Liu Sheng had always been very cautious with money, already having developed the good habit of being thrifty and frugal.
Now dressed in formal attire, Su Xuan knew that eting the artsy girl called for a bit of formality.
After grooming himself, Su Xuan was like a changed man.
If Aaron Kwok were to stand in front of Su Xuan right now, all he could say was that his own good looks were nothing special.
Just as he walked out the door, Su Xuan received a text ssage with an address, asking him to arrive in twenty minutes to et.
In the traffic of Beijing, Su Xuan hailed a Didi, but got stuck in a jam halfway there.
“Fuck .”
Su Xuan couldn’t help cursing, wondering if his date was going to be ruined.
The driver was also helpless; what could you do in a traffic jam?
You surely can’t fly over.
Suddenly, Su Xuan saw that they were near the next intersection.
An idea struck him, and he said to the driver, “Could you please get out for a mont?
We’ll go around from here.”
The driver didn’t understand.
Go around?
How?
Via the bike lane?
Although the driver was clueless about what Su Xuan planned to do, he still got out of the car.
Su Xuan squatted down, grabbed the side of the car with both arms, and with a loud grunt, he actually lifted it!
After lifting the car, he walked faster, conserving energy.
The driver was completely stunned!
What a spectacle!
The world is truly full of wonders; such a person could break records in the Olympic weightlifting competition without question.
Bang!
Su Xuan set the taxi down at a wide spot at the next intersection and shouted to the driver who was still a bit dazed, “Hey, hurry up, please.
I have things to do.”
Only then did the driver snap back to reality, regretting not having recorded the whole thing on his phone to share on his social circle, which would have been explosive.
The driver got back into the car.
Just a while ago, he had been boasting about his vast experiences while in the car, but now he didn’t dare to talk big in front of Su Xuan and quietly drove instead, thrilled inside.
With that kind of strength, he would definitely be a national powerhouse champion in the future.
What an honor it was for him to drive such a person.
Checking the ti, Su Xuan was relieved he had acted so decisively; otherwise, he might have been late.
He didn’t want to keep the artsy girl waiting too long.
