Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Boundless Ambition!

 

From beginning to end, Su Wuxian rarely spoke, just sitting in his seat quietly observing, but every sentence he uttered clearly expressed his stance!

“Wuxian, what do you mean by this?” Ouyang Jian said coldly: “I believe the Ouyang family has never wronged you in any way, why do you repeatedly speak up for outsiders today?”

Su Wuxian looked at Ouyang Jian, smiled slightly, appearing elegant: “I’m not speaking for anyone, and I’ll say it again, I focus on the matter, not the person.”

Focus on the matter, not the person? But matters are caused by people! Focusing on the matter is focusing on the person!

Ouyang Jian’s face darkened: “Wuxian, after all you’ve said, you’re still finding fault with my Ouyang family?”

Actually, Ouyang Jian hadn’t initially planned to step forward. When he saw Ouyang Xinghai pushed to the ground by Su Rui, he thought his grandson could withstand the pressure and fight back, but the result disappointed him—Ouyang Xinghai hadn’t gotten up since his embarrassing fall! If he couldn’t get up now, his grandson’s future achievements would stop here!

No matter what, Ouyang Jian had to help his grandson!

Su Wuxian smiled faintly: “From the beginning, I felt this marriage was a conspiracy. Uncle Ouyang, if you dare to pat your chest and admit that proposing to the Qin family wasn’t because of Yueran’s so-called fortune-bringing fate, I’ll take back what I just said.”

Ouyang Jian hesitated, unable to admit it, nor could he deny it! He was indeed after Qin Yueran’s fortune-bringing fate! Though that was his purpose, saying it aloud would seem too degrading!

Su Wuxian saw it all and had clearly anticipated Ouyang Jian’s answer: “In that case, I have nothing more to say. The facts are already evident.”

In the capital, no one could doubt Su Wuxian’s words. Once spoken, they carried absolute authority.

This statement undoubtedly set the tone for this farce of an engagement party—the entire wedding was merely a conspiracy that couldn’t bear scrutiny!

Ouyang Jian trembled with anger, nearly coughing blood! He truly couldn’t understand why Su Wuxian would do this!

By all reasoning, he had no need to offend both the Qin and Ouyang families!

Because even someone as powerful as Su Wuxian would have enough trouble if facing the combined retaliation of the Qin and Ouyang families!

What was the reason? Why would he do this?

The answer was becoming obvious!

Because at that moment, Su Wuxian had walked up to Su Rui, carefully examining his features, with a faint look of admiration in his handsome eyes.

Seeing Su Wuxian’s expression, the surrounding crowd was inwardly shocked!

In today’s capital, young people who could earn Su Wuxian’s admiration probably couldn’t be counted on one hand! How many years had it been since he had looked at someone with such admiring eyes?

Su Rui didn’t know who Su Wuxian was; he had never seen this man before. But for someone who upheld justice and principles, he had to say thank you.

“Thank you,” Su Rui looked into Su Wuxian’s eyes and said sincerely.

“Young man, very impressive,” Su Wuxian smiled. “You have drive, brains, and most importantly, a very sharp tongue, which is quite similar to me.”

Hearing these words, the crowd’s shock grew even more intense!

How much must Su Wuxian admire a young man to say he was similar to himself? Even saying it in front of so many elites and high officials of the capital! This was a complete declaration of his position!

“The sharpness of one’s tongue is built on the foundation of strength; otherwise, it has no meaning,” Su Rui’s expression was unprecedentedly serious. “In this regard, compared to you, I still have a long way to go.”

“Oh? How so?” Su Wuxian played with his jade ring, asking with interest.

“You only need to speak to intimidate them, but I still have to rely on my brothers,” Su Rui pointed to the special forces soldiers standing ready at the door.

“But that’s also a manifestation of comprehensive strength.”

At this point, the two were chatting as if no one else was there! Completely ignoring everyone in the hall!

Yet, those present were all elites, all figures who could make the ground shake with a stomp!

Qin Zhizhang’s gaze moved back and forth between Su Rui and Su Wuxian several times, the shock on his face growing more intense!

Qin Fanghua, Qin Bikai, and others clearly realized something too, as a faint chill began to surge through their bodies! Even their hands started to lose warmth!

These men were all veteran warriors who had never retreated when facing bloody and cruel invaders on the battlefield, their body temperature never dropping! Yet now, in these peaceful times, facing a young man barely in his twenties, these old men were so moved!

Of course, most people present could only see Su Wuxian’s back and couldn’t clearly see the expression on the face of this man known as “Unparalleled Elegance”!

“If you have time, come have tea by Junting Lake.”

After saying this, Su Wuxian smiled slightly and turned to leave.

The people present were completely stunned by Su Wuxian’s words!

How many people dreamed of and desperately sought the opportunity to squeeze into Junting Lake for a chance to drink tea with Su Wuxian, yet could never realize it? Even among the elites present, very few had ever had tea with Su Wuxian!

Yet today, he extended an olive branch to a young man who had already offended most of the elites present! What did this mean?

At this point, some quick-thinking individuals had already begun to secretly ponder!

Su Wuxian came and went as he pleased, everything casual, no one could stop him.

Only after he left did Su Rui snap back to reality.

To think there could be such a dazzling man in this world, Su Rui thought.

But what he didn’t realize was that his own performance just now was even more dazzling than Su Wuxian’s!

The people in the hall were silent, all looking at Su Rui with very complex expressions.

This man who had descended from the sky had already offended everyone present, yet had transformed, not only becoming the Qin family’s great benefactor but also winning Su Wuxian’s admiration!

In less than half an hour, the situation had changed dramatically, the plot taking a sharp turn!

Jiang Tiancang and others clearly didn’t look pleased; Su Rui’s smooth sailing was something he absolutely didn’t want to see! Because, since five years ago, Su Rui had been the Jiang family’s greatest enemy!

“If none of you have any objections, then I’ll take Yueran and leave,” Su Rui had waited until now just to make everyone accept! Obviously, Su Wuxian had helped him greatly!

Saying this, Su Rui walked up the steps one by one, his pace slow but steady!

This time, from Qin Zhizhang down to all members of the Qin family, no one made any attempt to stop him! Even Ouyang Jian remained silent! As if silently admitting defeat!

Twelve armed helicopters air-dropped into the Qin family compound, twenty special forces soldiers with guns surrounded the capital’s elites, openly snatching away Ouyang Xinghai’s fiancée, with an aura that silenced everyone present!

At this moment, Su Rui didn’t know that in just a few hours, what he had done would spread, becoming a legend throughout the capital!

Standing in front of Qin Yueran, looking at the beauty in the white ceremonial dress, Su Rui smiled slightly: “You look beautiful today.”

“You look handsome today too,” Qin Yueran smiled, and the entire banquet hall seemed to bloom with flowers.

“Am I handsome?”

Tears had already welled up in Qin Yueran’s eyes as she nodded firmly.

“Really handsome?” Su Rui thought, didn’t you always look down on me before? Why are you now so moved to tears at the sight of me?

“Really handsome,” Qin Yueran nodded again.

“I kept my promise, didn’t I? Are you so moved that you want to offer yourself to me?”

This time Qin Yueran didn’t nod; her body lunged forward, tightly hugging Su Rui’s neck, pressing against his warm chest, tears already flowing abundantly!

He said he could solve the problem, and he did, with such a fearless attitude against the world! Even facing heavy resistance, even with possible retaliation afterward, he didn’t care! With infinite courage, he cut down all thorns in his path!

Qin Yueran was intoxicated, truly intoxicated. This man had given her an irresistible attraction, making her deeply immersed, unable to extricate herself!

…………

Su Wuxian stood by Junting Lake, staring at the water surface, silent, with faint ripples reflected in his eyes.

Su Chiyan stood behind him, not interrupting her foster father’s contemplation.

“Chiyan, do you remember, ten years ago, when the old man once gave me a piece of calligraphy on a whim?” Su Wuxian suddenly spoke.

“Ten years ago?” Su Chiyan thought carefully: “Indeed there was, I think it was on Grandfather’s birthday, he gave you that calligraphy.”

“There are countless people in the world who write good calligraphy, and the old man’s writing didn’t even catch my eye. I didn’t care about it at the time and just tossed it in some corner,” Su Wuxian looked somewhat regretful: “It’s been ten years, I wonder if we can still find it.”

“Thinking about it now, that should be the only piece of calligraphy he ever gave me,” Su Wuxian’s tone seemed to carry a faint melancholy, an emotion rarely seen in him before.

“I’ve kept it for you, it’s in the drawer of the study,” Su Chiyan smiled helplessly. Some things, some matters, Su Wuxian could disregard and casually discard, but she couldn’t.

“Is that so? Then let’s go see it quickly,” Su Wuxian said, then strode toward the villa.

When Su Chiyan slowly unfolded the calligraphy written ten years ago, the gleam in Su Wuxian’s eyes began to release bit by bit.

When the scroll was completely unfolded and the four characters fully appeared before his eyes, Su Wuxian’s eyes were already blazing with brilliance!

“Chiyan, go call Su Yi and tell him to come here,” Su Wuxian said with unprecedented gravity!

Su Chiyan had also seen the four characters and seemed to have realized what was about to happen. Not daring to delay, she hurriedly walked out!

Staring at the calligraphy for a long time, Su Wuxian finally read it aloud:

“Rui… Yi… Wu… Xian!”
