558: Chapter 555: Turmoil in Beijing 558: Chapter 555: Turmoil in Beijing The female sales clerk stared, dumbfounded, at the table full of clothes, furious but unable to vent her anger.
This was the first ti she had been subject to such retaliation.
Xiaoqian saw the sales clerk’s face swell red like a liver, laughing so hard she could barely close her mouth.
“You’re really naughty, always bullying people.”
“If she hadn’t bullied you, I wouldn’t have done this.”
While speaking, Su Xuan and she went to another high-quality service store and bought a few items.
Xiaoqian happily tried on several pieces and imdiately looked like a goddess descended to earth, radiant and stunning.
“Let’s go, we can probably go eat sothing now, right?”
Having just taught the sales clerk a lesson, Xiaoqian was in a great mood and wanted to treat Su Xuan to a al as a thank-you.
“I’m easygoing; you pick the place, as long as you like it, I’ll like it too.”
Su Xuan’s words were sowhat bold.
For a girl who was just eighteen or nineteen, such captivating language, combined with Su Xuan’s sowhat handso features, could easily ensnare many young girls in a web of affection they couldn’t escape from.
Xiaoqian looked up at Su Xuan, a trace of naive affection flickering in her eyes.
“Alright, I’ll choose for you, let’s go to a place I often visit with my best friends.”
Xiaoqian tilted her head to see Su Xuan’s reaction, caring deeply about his attitude, even if it was just a little bit.
“I’m easygoing.”
Su Xuan said indifferently.
Just now, when Xiaoqian ntioned the place she visited with her best friends, without realizing it, Su Xuan’s position in her heart had risen to match that of her best friends.
The rocket of affection surged upwards rapidly.
Since neither of them had driven, there were self-service bicycles by the road.
Xiaoqian, a romantic at heart, cherished the idea of cycling together.
Now she was living that mont, but previously, her fantasies had lacked a male lead—now, there was one, and it was Su Xuan.
The two cycled and chatted along the way.
Ti flew by quickly, and before they knew it, they had reached the restaurant Xiaoqian ntioned.
“The taste here definitely won’t disappoint you; trust , it’s fine.”
Xiaoqian made a “GO” gesture, and the two walked into the restaurant side by side.
“Xiaoqian!”
Suddenly, a man in a Porsche not far away shouted at her.
“Xiaoqian, co here!”
The man shouted again and had already opened the car door and stepped out.
Su Xuan knew they must know each other well, as he could easily call out her na.
“Quick, go!
That’s my brother!”
Xiaoqian desperately tried to push Su Xuan away.
Instead, Su Xuan was even less inclined to leave.
Why leave?
It was an opportune mont to et his potential future brother-in-law and warm up in advance.
“My brother is very fierce when it cos to hitting people.
Hurry up!
What are you waiting for, go now or it will really be too late.”
Xiaoqian struggled to push Su Xuan away, but soon Xiaoqian’s brother walked over, sizing up Su Xuan from head to toe, possibly seeking traits of similarity.
If there were any, it would be the air of being a wealthy second-generation like himself.
“Brother, I just wanted to go out and eat sothing; it really has nothing to do with him.”
Xiaoqian looked like a child who had done sothing wrong, hanging her head willing to accept punishnt.
Hearing her still worrying about Su Xuan at this ti made Su Xuan feel warm inside.
“Who is he?
Did he coax you to co out?”
The man nad Xiaofeng, known as Brother Feng in Beijing, had a violent temper and preferred to handle conflicts himself.
He had been imprisoned for a year due to illegal fundraising and other activities.
After getting out, he pretended to reform, but due to various reductions, his one-year term had been reduced directly to 15 days, which were spent in re-education through criticism.
“It wasn’t him who called out; I ca out by chance and happened to run into him.
Please let him go.”
Xiaoqian was near tears.
“Hmph, stop talking; I’ll ask him myself.”
Su Xuan, hearing Brother Feng wanted to question him, imdiately straightened up.
“How did you co to be involved with my sister?”
“We t by chance on a trip, that’s all.”
“Oh, just ordinary friends, then that’s even easier.”
Xiaofeng nodded with a aningful look, “Since you’re just ordinary friends, there’s no need to keep in touch then.
My sister is naturally timid and simple-minded, not suited to withstand the temptations of you old slickers.
You better leave now.”
Xiaoqian looked at her brother, this ti a bit surprised, wondering why her brother hadn’t hit anyone.
Usually, in such situations, her brother would have already thrown punches, making the other person beg for rcy in agony.
Su Xuan, seeing that Brother Feng’s attitude wasn’t too harsh, felt like advising him.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own life, and it shouldn’t be tethered to other factors.
“Big brother-in-law, oh no, I an, Xiaoqian’s brother, you should allow your sister the right to pursue freedom.
Keeping her at ho all the ti isn’t good for her ntal and physical health.”
Hearing Su Xuan say this, Xiaofeng beca even more convinced that Su Xuan was the instigator, no wonder his sister had seed soulless these past few days.
Now that he knew the root of the problem, it would be easier to handle.
Xiaofeng had his ways of dismantling relationships and said to Su Xuan, “How much money do you want?”
Su Xuan shook his head, stating, “I don’t want a cent.”
“Then what kind of official position do you desire?
As long as it’s nothing too big, I can satisfy it.”
Su Xuan shook his head, still unsatisfied.
Finally, Xiaofeng spoke earnestly, “Then how many won do you want, what type?
Just specify, and I can find them for you, as long as you leave my sister.”
Hearing her brother’s words, Xiaoqian angrily stomped her foot.
Won?
Su Xuan genuinely wasn’t interested.
There were many in Rongcheng City, including developed and undeveloped ones; he really didn’t lack any.
In the end, Su Xuan still gently declined.
“Don’t be ungrateful when given face!”
Xiaoqian’s brother suddenly beca irate, which must be the so-called ‘soft approach followed by force.’ Now it was ti for the force, and it was unclear what tactics he would employ.
“Brother, don’t be violent, we are just ordinary friends, really!”
Xiaoqian shouted at her brother.
Su Xuan, however, was not worried but was rather curious to see what thods he would use against him.
Whoosh!
Xiaoqian’s brother suddenly pulled out a knife, scaring Xiaoqian, who thought her brother was going to kill Su Xuan.
“Take this knife and kill .
If you can’t do it, just roll back obediently; but if you can, proceed as normal, and I will never interfere in matters between you and my sister again.”
Su Xuan picked up the knife and held it in his hand, Xiaoqian terrified that sothing tragic might occur, as both individuals were dear to her.
“When do we start?”
“We can start now!”
No sooner had Xiaoqian’s brother finished speaking than Su Xuan’s knife was already under his neck.
“This…”
Xiaoqian’s brother, indignant and even furious with sha, his face flushed red, had the heart to kill Su Xuan.
“Does this count?”
Su Xuan asked.
“It counts…”
Xiaofeng felt especially distressed inside; this was humiliation.
Anyone who had humiliated him before ended up dead.
He coldly got in the car and sped off with a slam on the accelerator.
“Are you alright?”
Xiaoqian ran over to ask.
Su Xuan looked up distantly, not even a bit of skin was hurt, let alone any injury.
Xiaoqian excitedly said, “Do you know?
You are the first person to defeat my brother.
He always beats others in fights, and he said that if soone beats him, we can date normally, without interference.
Now we don’t have to hide anymore.
Next ti, I’ll invite you to visit my house.”
“Hmm, that would be fine.”
Su Xuan was interested in Xiaoqian’s family, curious as to why they always kept her locked up at ho, and what kind of family environnt made Xiaoqian’s brother and father so indifferent towards her.
A visit to Xiaoqian’s house in his free ti wouldn’t be bad.
Originally, Su Xuan had wanted to have a al with Xiaoqian, but she said her brother wouldn’t let it go.
He said he wouldn’t obstruct, but can you be sure he won’t send people to stop you?
You’d better go quickly; I’ll be fine; no one will hurt .”
Su Xuan couldn’t help but be moved.
Xiaoqian always thought of others first.
This spirit was rare among his many wives.
“Then you take care, contact if you need anything.”
The al with Su Xuan was still not achieved.
He didn’t leave because he was afraid of her brother, but because he feared stirring up major trouble in Beijing, which would be difficult to handle afterward.
He was also unsure whether Old Lai had returned yet.
The visit was mainly just a friendly call.
If Su Xuan left without seeing him, he might feel a bit empty inside.
Su Xuan returned to the hotel, Xiong Sandao had already left, and Liu Sheng was laying on the bed watching TV, which offered a rich variety of channels in Beijing.
“How did it go?
You look like you might have scored,” Liu Sheng said leisurely from the bed.
“Where did you get that idea from?”
“It’s the scent on you.
If you two hugged, the scent would differ; if you two kissed, the scent would vary again; if you did nothing, the scent would be different.
Damn, I didn’t expect Liu Sheng to analyze it thoroughly, but Su Xuan believed him.
Liu Sheng, being an old tir in the Martial World, really knows more than him in this regard,” Su Xuan thought.
Just as Su Xuan had returned to the hotel, he received a call from the Lai family, saying Old Lai had returned and invited him to stop by whenever he was free.
“Alright, I’ll co over this afternoon.”
Su Xuan, having nothing better to do, decided to visit Old Lai that afternoon to play chess, thankful that Xiong Sandao had gone back alone.
Su Xuan still had so reservations about involving Old Lai with the affairs of the Martial World, always feeling as if the Black Wolf Gang was a crumbling wall, deadly to those who linger too close.
“Su Xuan, co on, let’s play a ga.
These past days I’ve been itching for a match to vent so steam.”
Su Xuan busily set up the chess pieces.
By making indirect inquiries, he found out that Old Lai and a chief had been away at etings in other places in recent days, which was why their movents were all kept secret.
When Old Lai heard that Su Xuan had sent Xiong Sandao away, he laughed and said, “We are not on the sa path as him, like water not violating river water.
If he offends , I will retaliate.”
Old Lai also shared many directives from above and forthcoming plans with Su Xuan.
He ntioned that the powers below might look impressive, but were in fact insignificant; you could even say they were like a bubble organization—money brings people, and people bring money.
Old Lai’s words made Su Xuan curious about the future changes.
What would the future hold?
Suffice it to say, Old Lai had given Su Xuan a slight hint, informing him of future moves and helping him prepare for defense.
After all, no one knew what Rongcheng City might face tomorrow.
Regarding Rongcheng City, a tiny place, Su Xuan even had thoughts of giving up, after fighting over such a small space.
With half-closed eyes, Old Lai said to Su Xuan, “I agree to your participation in the Che Family’s martial contest for a marital alliance; I have high hopes for you.”
