Mr. Su explained, "This matter is rather complicated and a bit strange. There are plenty of disputes within the Su Family right now, so we haven’t made this news public."
"What disputes? Other than Xiao Wan herself, none of us approve, okay?" Second Young Master Su said irritably, "Last sumr, Xiao Wan went to the South Sea, and when she ca back, she claid she was engaged to soone. None of us have ever seen her fiancé, don’t even know which Immortal he is, so how could we agree to this?"
"Now that Second Young Master Su said this, I’m at ease. As long as Su Xiaowan isn’t officially engaged, I won’t give up easily." Young Master Ma sneered confidently, "I, Ma Boyao, one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youth of Jiangnan, have no reason to lose to anyone."
The term "Top Ten Outstanding Youth of Jiangnan" that Ma Boyao ntioned refers to a self-proclaid title by the heirs of the ten powerful Jiangnan families. Outsiders usually call them the "Jiangnan Ten Tigers", referring to the ten most formidable young heirs in Jiangnan Province.
Among the four people present, three belonged to the "Jiangnan Ten Tigers": Ma Boyao, who was determined to marry Su Xiaowan; Tang Wenjun, the reserved young master of the Tang Family; and Su Xiaowan’s older brother, Su Jingming.
Second Young Master Su Jinpeng from the Su Family was not part of the "Jiangnan Ten Tigers" because each family could hold only one spot, and he was not the future heir of the family, thus lacking reputation and status.
Mr. Su Jingming, always mature and prudent, said with a heavy tone, "I know my sister Xiao Wan’s character and taste quite well. Whoever wins her heart is surely no ordinary man. In my opinion, Young Master Ma, you’d better prepare yourself ntally."
"Hmph!" Ma Boyao adjusted his glasses, a glint flashing in his eyes, "I don’t care how exceptional he is. Anyone who stands between and Xiao Wan is my mortal enemy! The mont they appear in front of , I’ll trample them into the ground and make them regret ever being born!"
Just as Ma Boyao finished speaking, the private room’s door suddenly slamd open with a loud "Bang!"
The four young masters inside barely had ti to react before soone stord in, smacking Ma Boyao to the ground with a resounding slap and pressing a foot down on his neck. Pointing at his nose, the intruder roared furiously, "You four-eyed field frog! How dare you plot against Xiao Wan—my wife! I’ll make you regret being born right now!"
The other three young masters in the private room were utterly stunned.
What’s going on?
Why would a random troublemaker burst in and flatten Young Master Ma while they were having a decent al?
Isn’t this the most upscale private room on the third floor of Desheng Restaurant?
How could such a thing happen?
Su Jingming was the first to recover and sternly questioned, "Who are you? How dare you barge in and assault people without rhy or reason!"
"This guy dared to compete with over Xiao Wan—my wife. Shouldn’t I beat him up?"
The person who barged into the room and knocked over Ma Boyao was naturally Yan Xiaobao, who had overheard the conversation next door. After hearing Su Xiaowan’s na repeatedly, he eavesdropped on their discussion. Upon hearing Ma Boyao spout arrogant words, challenging him, he couldn’t hold back and stord in to take action.
"Xiao Wan—my wife?" Su Jingming frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be... are you Yan Xiaobao, the one Xiao Wan ntioned?"
"Of course, I’m Yan Xiaobao!" Xiaobao pointed to himself and declared, "Other than , who else dares to call Xiao Wan my wife?"
"Ha! Marrying my Xiao Wan won’t be that easy. The Su Family hasn’t acknowledged you, you little brat!" Su Jinpeng rushed over to pull Yan Xiaobao away. "Let go of Young Master Ma, or I won’t go easy on you!"
"Smack!"
Yan Xiaobao casually slapped him back. Su Jinpeng stumbled into a chair like a worn-out sack and crashed into the wall.
"I’ll marry Xiao Wan as long as she agrees. Why should I care if the Su Family recognizes or not?" Xiaobao roared furiously, his aura overflowing with aggression. "Anyone who dares to stand in my way will pay the price!"
Witnessing Xiaobao’s overwhelming combat ability, Su Jingming and Tang Wenjun froze, unwilling to act rashly.
anwhile, Xia Rou next door, hearing the chaos, realized Xiaobao was causing trouble again. She quickly rushed over, trying to calm him down, "Let’s talk this out. Stop resorting to violence. Let him go, don’t seriously hurt anyone."
"Hmph! If it weren’t for Rourou pleading for you, I’d cripple you right now and make you a eunuch!" Xiaobao sneered and kicked Ma Boyao away, sending him flying to the wall corner.
"You... You trash actually dare to hit ! I... I..." Ma Boyao cursed venomously with a trace of fear, clutching the wall as he stumbled to the door. He glared back and spat out a threat, "If you’ve got guts, don’t leave!"
"I’ve got guts!" Xiaobao retorted, "If you’ve got guts, don’t run away!"
Tang Wenjun stood up to shield Ma Boyao, helping him retreat from the room.
"How can you be so barbaric, acting violently in such a high-end establishnt?" Su Jingming scolded while helping his brother Su Jinpeng back to a chair. "Jinpeng is still Xiao Wan’s brother. You injured him at your first eting. Explain how you intend to face Xiao Wan later!"
"He opposed marrying Xiao Wan and even tried helping that four-eyed field frog! If Xiao Wan found out, she’d only say that I did the right thing by beating them up," Xiaobao argued confidently, trusting his wife’s judgnt.
"Brother, call Xiao Wan and let her see clearly with her own eyes what kind of man she chose!" Su Jinpeng complained bitterly, rubbing his swollen face.
Su Jingming considered this and sent Xiao Wan a ssage via WeChat. Until now, he had leaned toward supporting Xiao Wan’s decisions, believing his sister’s marriage was her own choice.
But after witnessing Xiaobao’s dramatic entrance and violent behavior towards Ma Boyao and Su Jinpeng, his stance began to shift toward neutrality—neither supporting nor opposing Xiao Wan’s choices.
Hence, this ti, he planned to observe from the sidelines and see how Xiao Wan and this so-called "brother-in-law" would handle the situation.
By this point, Ma Boyao and Tang Wenjun had returned to the private room, and behind them was Manager Wang from Desheng Restaurant.
"Manager Wang, what’s going on!" Ma Boyao pointed angrily at his face, shouting, "Isn’t Desheng Restaurant supposed to be a high-end venue? Why would a rabid dog suddenly rush into this third-floor private room and bite people? Look at the state I’m in!"
Indeed, Ma Boyao looked utterly disheveled. His left cheek was swollen like a pig’s face, and the titanium-alloy half-fra glasses now truly looked like half a fra, with the other half embedded in his swollen skin—a pitiful sight. Fortunately, Xiaobao hadn’t gone full strength; otherwise, half of Ma Boyao’s teeth might have been lost as well.
