Chapter 260 He’s Called Su Rui
In the vast majority of people present recognized Su Wuxian, therefore, hearing him speak this way, everyone could only marvel in their hearts that this man’s strength index had already surpassed the sky, beyond anyone’s reach.
Perhaps in the entire capital, only he would dare to publicly dismantle the Qin family and Ouyang family’s facade, and completely not worry about their retaliation.
Su Wuxian played with the priceless jade thumb ring in his hand, raised his head, saw everyone looking at him with strange eyes, and couldn’t help saying: “Why are you all looking at me like that? I just spoke the truth.”
In this world, what’s never lacking is truth, and these so-called truths can make the vast majority of people feel fear.
Even if they understand the meaning of this “truth” perfectly well, it is absolutely something they cannot say out loud.
But Su Wuxian just said it openly and naturally, he didn’t care who was present, didn’t mind if he would damage anyone’s face, and didn’t think about how much resentment this statement would incur, he thought this way, and so he spoke this way.
Hearing Su Wuxian’s words, Qin Mufeng’s body swayed, almost falling down. Although they were the same age, Su Wuxian was undoubtedly someone he needed to look up to. When he saw that Rolls-Royce that was usually parked by the Junting Lake in the capital drive up to the Qin family mansion gate, Qin Mufeng was truly excited beyond control.
Jiang Tiancang, Bai Tianzhu, and so many other heavyweight celebrities had already arrived, plus the addition of the rising star Su Wuxian as the finale, then he, Qin Mufeng, would completely make a name for himself today, and countless networking resources would be utilized by him alone!
However, Qin Mufeng never expected that Su Wuxian, whom he most needed to look up to, would slap him in the face so hard today.
Just a light “truth” was enough to make him, Old Qin the Third, lose face! And make the entire Qin family lose face!
Qin Mufeng gritted his teeth and stepped forward saying: “Brother Wuxian, you don’t know…”
Before he could finish, Su Wuxian raised his hand, interrupting him.
“Indeed, there’s much I don’t know, many things beyond my understanding.” Su Wuxian smiled, his whole person exuding a confident aura. This aura, though subtle, felt very intense to others, creating a stark contradiction between these two feelings, yet strangely harmonious.
“I just saw that Yueran is very pitiful and regrettable, so that’s why I spoke that way.” Su Wuxian glanced in Qin Yueran’s direction, speaking very naturally and frankly. He completely didn’t care how the people around viewed him. In fact, from the beginning until now, in all those years of fame, he had never cared about others’ opinions.
Qin Yueran hadn’t expected that at this so-called engagement banquet, someone would speak up for her.
And the person speaking turned out to be Su Wuxian—this man who once illuminated the entire capital.
He didn’t join the military, didn’t enter politics, didn’t do business, but no one could compare to him.
Some people are just that excellent, even if they do nothing, there are still plenty of people running over to worship them.
“Pitiful? Regrettable?” Hearing these words, Ouyang Jian was almost about to faint with anger! Anyone with eyes could hear that Su Wuxian’s statement had thoroughly offended the Ouyang family!
“Wuxian, if it were any other time, I naturally wouldn’t argue with you, a junior, but this is at my grandson Ouyang Xinghai’s engagement banquet, and I just have to reason with you a bit!” Ouyang Jian was completely unable to remain calm, and he specifically emphasized the word “junior,” aiming to hint that Su Wuxian should know his place.
“If Elder Ouyang wishes to instruct me, I will naturally listen attentively.” Faced with Ouyang Jian’s anger, Su Wuxian still maintained a calm demeanor, which only made the old man more furious.
“You just said the Qin family girl is pitiful and regrettable?”
“Exactly,” Su Wuxian said: “I won’t deny what I’ve said.”
“That’s why I want to ask you,” Ouyang Jian said in a deep voice: “What do you think of Xinghai?”
“Very excellent, destined for greatness.” Su Wuxian glanced at Ouyang Xinghai, his eyes showing no emotion, and said flatly.
“Good, since Xinghai is excellent, then why did you say that the Qin family girl marrying Xinghai would make her pitiful and regrettable? Is Xinghai really that bad?”
Everyone looked at Su Wuxian, waiting to see how he would answer. Ouyang Jian’s question was challenging and aggressive. If Su Wuxian didn’t answer well, it would be like digging his own grave.
“Of course not,” Su Wuxian smiled and said: “I never said Xinghai was bad. As for why I spoke that way earlier, I was addressing the situation, not the person.”
“Nice way of saying ‘addressing the situation, not the person.'” Ouyang Jian sneered: “Addressing the situation is addressing the person, because situations are created by people. By saying this, I can fully interpret it as you targeting the Ouyang family! Or perhaps targeting Ouyang Xinghai!”
“If Elder Ouyang insists on interpreting it that way, then I have no way to change that.” Su Wuxian smiled: “Sometimes my personality is a bit straightforward, with a bit of an impulse to draw my sword when I see injustice.”
These words seemed humble but were actually a more fierce attack!
While Ouyang Jian and Su Wuxian were arguing, none of those old fellows stood up to help. They all knew how difficult Su Wuxian was to deal with, especially his sharp tongue that no one could match. Standing up to help Ouyang now would just be asking for trouble.
“Injustice? What injustice have you seen?” Ouyang Jian was about to collapse.
The people around couldn’t bear to listen anymore. In terms of verbal sparring, Ouyang Jian was really far behind Su Wuxian.
“Uncle Wuxian, thank you for your help,” said Qin Yueran. Su Wuxian’s earlier words made her feel that she wasn’t fighting alone.
“No need to thank me, I haven’t helped you with anything.” After saying this, Su Wuxian sat down, not even glancing at Ouyang Jian beside him, and continued playing with his jade thumb ring.
“Qin family girl, you should state your position now. Things have come to this point, I can’t force you, but you need to let my Ouyang family save face,” Ouyang Jian turned to Qin Yueran and said.
Save face? Does your Ouyang family still have any face to save? The surrounding guests couldn’t help but think.
“Grandpa Ouyang, I want to say sorry to you.” The mist in Qin Yueran’s eyes had cleared, and she gathered her courage again, looking directly at Ouyang Jian.
“What’s the use of apologizing to me?” Ouyang Jian shook his head: “You should apologize to Xinghai.”
At this moment, Su Wuxian spoke again: “Yueran, you’re wrong.”
“Hmm?” Qin Yueran was stunned, seemingly not understanding why Su Wuxian would say this.
The surrounding guests were equally confused, hadn’t he just been on Qin Yueran’s side? Why had he switched camps now? What was this extraordinary man up to?
“Your mistake is… you don’t need to apologize to anyone.”
Su Wuxian raised his head, his eyes carrying a faint smile, but Qin Yueran clearly felt an encouraging meaning in them!
The Ouyang family and old Qin family members now simply wanted to drag Su Wuxian out and chop him up! How could his mouth be so poisonous and spicy!
“Pursuing one’s own happiness is a fundamental right in life. If even this most basic right is taken away, then it becomes somewhat inhuman,” Su Wuxian smiled.
Ouyang Jian and Qin Zhizhang were trembling with anger. They pointed at Su Wuxian, about to rebuke him, when they heard him start to twist the knife: “Let me emphasize again, I’m addressing the situation, not the person.”
Qin Zhizhang pointed at Su Wuxian, his finger trembling: “You, Su family’s second son, I’ll definitely have a word with your father later, and ask him how he raised his son!”
Su Wuxian shook his head: “Uncle Qin, are you saying I have no manners? But don’t worry, not a word of what you just said will reach my father’s ears—he doesn’t care about worldly affairs anymore, too lazy to bother with these things.”
Too lazy to bother with these things!
Su Wuxian’s words were extremely arrogant, but none of the people present dared to stand up and question him, because in their eyes, Su Wuxian had the qualifications to be this arrogant!
“Ahem, Old Qin, think before you speak,” Jiang Tiancang coughed twice beside him, reminding him.
Only then did Qin Zhizhang realize that he had spoken rashly in his anger. The actions of that old master were not something he could judge! To even think of going to reason with him, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Bai Tianzhu didn’t speak up, but thought to himself: “Daring to say that master’s son has no manners, Old Qin, have you lived your whole life as a dog?”
Qin Yueran watched the scenes below the stage, her eyes full of determination: “You’ve all had your say, and I’ve had mine. I think I can leave now, and this engagement banquet can end here.”
Old Master Qin, having been humiliated by Su Wuxian, was feeling depressed and angry. Hearing his granddaughter speak this way, his anger immediately surged: “Qin Yueran, if you dare to walk out that door today, the Qin family will no longer have you as a member!”
Qin Yueran’s footsteps paused briefly. She turned her face and said: “Didn’t you ask why I don’t want to marry this excellent Ouyang Xinghai? Well, I’ll tell you, I already have a man, so give up.”
Qin Yueran was stimulating everyone’s nerves!
Those old people present already valued face more than life itself. They naturally wouldn’t allow Qin Yueran to repeatedly slap their faces, even saying such rebellious and shameless words!
Ouyang Jian almost growled: “Qin Zhizhang, you’re really something, you have a great granddaughter!”
Qin Zhizhang shouted angrily: “Qin Yueran, do you have any shame left?”
Seeing the elders speaking this way, and looking at Qin Yueran’s stubborn expression, Ouyang Xinghai’s face showed a trace of reluctance.
He stepped forward and said: “Grandfather, let me handle my own affairs.”
“Fine, you handle it, you handle it, I won’t interfere!” Ouyang Jian sat down angrily, turning his head away: “You’ve really found yourself a good wife!”
Ouyang Xinghai looked at Qin Yueran, speaking deeply and solemnly: “Yueran, you keep saying you have another man, but why hasn’t he come when you’re already engaged? Is such a coward worth marrying?”
The scene erupted in an uproar!
Yes, if Qin Yueran really had a man, then why didn’t he come to claim her? Was he afraid of the Ouyang family’s power?
Such a spineless man wasn’t worth having!
Qin Yueran remained silent, that figure slowly appearing in her mind again.
“He’s not that kind of person, he will definitely come,” Qin Yueran said in her heart.
Seeing Qin Yueran not speaking, Ouyang Xinghai continued: “Or perhaps, there is no such person at all, Yueran, you just made him up to prevent our engagement?”
After saying this, even Ouyang Xinghai believed his deduction was correct.
“I’m not lying to you,” Qin Yueran said calmly.
“Then do you dare to say his name?” Ouyang Xinghai sneered.
“Of course, his name is Su Rui,” Qin Yueran said softly, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of tenderness.
Su Rui!
Hearing this, the gleam in Su Wuxian’s eyes below the stage flashed wildly!
