Chapter 61: Don’t Be So Self-Important
“Miss Su?”
Nan Jiang Hong looked at Su Qing Li with surprise.
"What brings you to the Nan family today?"
Hearing this, Su Qing Li turned to Nan Jiang Hong and smiled lightly, thanks to her good upbringing.
"Family Head Nan, I am here to deliver my grandfather’s birthday invitation."
Upon hearing Su Qing Li’s words, Nan Jiang Hong welcomed her respectfully, a smile filling his face.
"I didn’t expect Miss Su to personally invite us!"
"I will definitely prepare well for Elder Brother Su’s birthday!"
Though Nan Jiang Hong was a few years older than Su Zong Sheng, he acted very submissively in front of Su Qing Li, even referring to Su Zong Sheng as Elder Brother Su, showing his attitude.
The surrounding members of the Nan family also looked pleasantly surprised.
They did not expect the Su family to value them so highly.
They even sent Su Qing Li to invite them!
Although Liu Ming had just come to invite them earlier, Su Qing Li’s visit left them puzzled.
Yet, a feeling of being valued began to rise in their hearts.
"Bai Chen, do you understand now? The Su family truly values our Nan family!"
Nan Xuan Fei said proudly.
"No matter how impressive your achievements are, it doesn’t matter! Even with the Zijin Garden project, you still have to rely on the Su family’s influence in Lintai!"
"Once we build a good relationship with the Su family, we will have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
However, when Su Qing Li heard Nan Xuan Fei’s words, her expression turned cold.
"Miss Nan Xuan Fei, I think you have misunderstood something!"
"I am not here to deliver invitations to you!"
"Your Nan family isn’t worth such treatment from the Su family! Please don’t be so self-important!"
Upon hearing Su Qing Li’s words, Nan Jiang Hong’s expression immediately darkened.
He slapped Nan Xuan Fei hard across the face.
"What are you talking about, Nan Xuan Fei!"
Realizing her mistake, Nan Xuan Fei quickly apologized to Su Qing Li.
"Miss Su, I’m sorry! I spoke incorrectly just now!"
Nan Xuan Fei covered her face, her expression filled with panic.
The Nan family still hasn’t been valued by the Su family.
Speaking like this could provoke the Su family’s displeasure.
Nan Jiang Hong tried to lighten the mood, but Su Qing Li showed no intention of giving them any face.
"Family Head Nan, I think you’ve misunderstood something."
"Uncle Liu Ming already came to deliver the invitation to you. I am not here for your Nan family!"
Hearing Su Qing Li’s words, Nan Jiang Hong’s expression stiffened.
Su Qing Li looked at Bai Chen with surprise.
"Mr. Bai, I was planning to visit your store to find you, but I didn’t see you."
"It was Uncle Liu Ming who told me that all the Nan family members were gathered today, which is why I came to find you."
Saying this, Su Qing Li respectfully took out the invitation and presented it to Bai Chen.
"Mr. Bai, it’s my grandfather’s birthday. You must attend!"
"This is the invitation for your whole family!"
Seeing Su Qing Li’s actions, the members of the Nan family froze in place.
Nan Jiang Hong opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t find the words.
Bai Chen received the invitation.
On it were elegantly bold golden characters that read "To Mr. Bai."
As he opened the invitation, a thin sheet of golden paper unfolded, revealing its contents.
The words conveyed an air of nobility, and the invitation was filled with utmost respect towards Bai Chen.
As they looked at this invitation, the Nan family members stood in shock.
Then they glanced at the ordinary invitation Liu Ming had given them, clearly mass-produced and lacking the care of Bai Chen’s.
Nan Xuan Fei was stunned by what she saw.
A wave of jealousy and frustration surged in her heart.
"How is this fair!"
"Why does Bai Chen deserve such treatment from the Su family?"
The look in Nan Xuan Fei’s eyes towards Bai Chen seemed to ignite with fury.
Why does their Nan family fall short compared to a country bumpkin?
At this moment, her jealousy reached its peak.
Bai Chen smiled gently at Su Qing Li.
"Since it’s Mr. Su’s birthday, I will definitely attend! I will arrive on time for the banquet tomorrow!"
"Since that’s the case, Qing Li will be waiting for Mr. Bai then!"
This trip to the Su family was for the purpose of celebrating Su Zong Sheng’s birthday and for matters concerning the Medicinal King Valley.
He certainly had to go.
Su Qing Li slightly bowed to Bai Chen and left the Nan family.
After Su Qing Li departed, the shocked members of the Nan family slowly regained their composure.
Nan Jiang Hong’s face was somewhat stiff, while the surrounding Nan family members struggled to find their words.
Seeing this scene, Bai Chen sneered slightly and turned his gaze toward Nan Xuan Fei.
"Why so silent? Didn’t you say I couldn’t achieve anything alone?"
"Sometimes it’s good to weigh your own worth!"
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Nan Xuan Fei’s face turned red, glaring furiously at him.
Bai Chen scoffed dismissively and left the Nan family with Nan Yue Ran.
On the way, Nan Yue Ran looked at Bai Chen with astonishment.
"Bai Chen, why does the Su family treat you with such respect?"
"You truly surprise me!"
Bai Chen smiled faintly.
"I told you before, I helped the Su family when the Lin family fell."
Hearing this, Nan Yue Ran pouted.
"Don’t try to fool me! Do you think I’m just a little girl? How could that be enough for the Su family to treat you with such respect?"
"Did you see Grandpa and the others’ expressions just now? They couldn’t utter a single word!"
"No one in Lintai has ever been treated like that by the Su family! You are the first!"
Seeing he couldn’t hide it anymore, Bai Chen cleared his throat.
"Alright, to be honest, I am the legendary Mr. Chen, which is why the Su family treats me so respectfully."
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Nan Yue Ran rolled her eyes in resignation.
"Alright, alright, my husband Bai Chen is the legendary Mr. Chen!"
"When will you take me to the Song family in the capital? I also want to bask in Mr. Chen’s glory and be treated with respect by the Song family!"
Bai Chen smiled gently.
"That will happen!"
"Hmph! You’re still putting on airs!"
The two bickered playfully as they returned home.
The next morning, the whole of Lintai seemed to be buzzing with excitement.
Countless people knew that today was Su family head Su Zong Sheng’s birthday.
One by one, they squeezed through the crowd, hoping to enter the Su family’s grand door.
However, this time the Su family set clear rules.
Only those with invitations could attend the banquet.
This left many opportunists sighing in disappointment.
Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran did not follow the Nan family members but instead set out on their own with Bai Nian Nian.
When Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran arrived at the entrance of the Su family, Nan Yue Ran was stunned by the sight before her.
Various fancy cars filled the area!
Countless people lined up respectfully, holding various gifts, waiting to enter.
Seeing this, Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran also began to line up.
However, at that moment, a discordant voice rang out behind them.
"Yue Ran? Why are you still here in line?"
"Come with me, I don’t need to line up!"
Yang Xiao Tian appeared behind Nan Yue Ran, smiling as he invited her over.
He even reached out to pull Nan Yue Ran toward him.
Bai Chen’s expression turned cold at the sight.
"What are you doing?"
