Chapter 901: Chapter 942: Forcibly Taking the Commoner Girl

Xiao Family!

Elder Fourth of the Xiao Family went pale at the sight of Third Su from the Su Family. Naturally, the most respected and esteemed person in the Su Family was none other than Old Master Su, but in recent years, he very rarely got involved in the family’s internal affairs. The most talented member of the family was Su Mengxin, but she was after all a woman and would sooner or later be married off. Therefore, neither of these individuals were a major concern for the other clans. However, Third Su from the Su Family was the most troublesome; despite his age, he never played by the rules and often left people dust-covered and embarrassed.

So whenever there was business to discuss with the Su Family, people would eagerly meet with this Third Su. No one expected him to come knocking today.

But at this time, they had no choice but to greet Third Su with forced smiles, "Third Su, what wind has blown you over here today?"

Third Su spun his car keys round his fingers twice and said, "I’m here to play matchmaker. It’s my first time as a matchmaker, so I thought I’d have a bit of fun today. Hey, hey, Fourth Master Xiao, what’s with that look? Not happy to see me?"

Fourth Master Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not."

Third Su, clearly impatient, said, "Then hurry up and serve up some good dishes. I haven’t even eaten yet because of your darn issues."

The Xiao Family quickly ushered Li Yifei and the others inside and started preparing a feast, while Li Yifei and his company took seats in the living room.

Xiao Ling’er came out at this moment too. Seeing Li Yifei and Su Mengxin arrive together, she hurried over and latched onto Li Yifei’s arm, "Yifei, you finally made it."

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, how could I not come?"

"You’re so annoying," Xiao Ling’er playfully hit Li Yifei and then gratefully said to Su Mengxin, "Mengxin, thank you."

Su Mengxin took hold of Xiao Ling’er’s other hand and said, "Why are you saying things like this to me?"

Xiao Ling’er nodded, her eyes still brimming with tears, and said, "Mengxin, you’re really the best sister I could ever ask for. The luckiest thing in my life is having you as a friend."

"Well, well, our Miss Xiao Ling’er can sure speak from the heart when she wants to."

Su Mengfei curled her lips to the side and said, "Ling’er, you’re really something else. It’s just a man, is he really worth all this fuss?"

Xiao Ling’er rolled her eyes at Su Mengfei and said, "The biggest misfortune in my life is having gained a friend like you."

At this moment, Third Su tossed his feet up on the coffee table, shaking them, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking every part the rogue as he said, "Fourth Master Xiao, I’m not one to mince words. My grandson-in-law has taken a fancy to your granddaughter. Do you agree or not?"

Fourth Master Xiao’s face turned uglier by the second as he muttered, "Are you here to snatch people away, Third Su?"

Third Su gave Fourth Master Xiao a sidelong glare, "If it were about snatching, why would there be all this trouble? I’d just have my grandson-in-law come over and take her. You know who my grandson-in-law is, don’t you? Golden Eagle, the one who had the Japanese Yamaguchi Group kneeling and begging for mercy. And you think your Xiao Family could stand up to him? That’s a joke."

Fourth Master Xiao’s anger flared upon hearing this, "The Japanese Yamaguchi Group may kneel before him, but our Xiao Family certainly isn’t spineless. Don’t think you can just rob us so easily."

Li Yifei’s eyes widened in disbelief at the audaciousness of this Third Grandpa. The confrontation was barely underway, and he was already playing hardball, almost like forcibly abducting a common girl. Just as he thought to interject and lighten the mood, Su Mengxin gave him a light tug.

The moment their eyes met, Li Yifei understood Su Mengxin’s intention. This Third Su had an unconventional way of doing things, but there was definitely a purpose behind his actions.

"Ho ho, it seems you’re not convinced, Fourth Master Xiao. How about we have a little sparring? If you beat me, then this matter is dropped. But if you lose, Little Ling’er follows my grandson-in-law."

Fourth Master Xiao almost blurted out an agreement, but luckily he hadn’t lost his head completely. He knew that Third Su’s martial arts were a bit better than his. It baffled him how this old guy, despite being so disgraceful in many other aspects of life, had maintained such strength.

Suppressing his fury, Fourth Master Xiao said with a mocking tone, "I really don’t want to waste my breath on this. You see, Third Su, if you’d come here today to propose a marriage for a member of your Su Family, I might understand. But to think you’re here matchmaking for your grandson-in-law? Could there be anything more absurd in this world?"

Su’s Third Eldest burst into laughter and said, "So what? If your Ling’er were willing to look my way, then I’d consider proposing."

All those present were speechless, thinking that Su’s Third Eldest really had no respect for his elders. Fourth Master Xiao said with disdain, "You, Third Su, are only good at deceiving ignorant little girls. Try to scheme against our Ling’er, and you’d best stay as far away as you can."

"Haha..." Su’s Third Eldest laughed again and said, "Well, if the old one’s not interested, my grandson-in-law here is still young. This is my granddaughter Mengxin’s man. You, Elder Xiao, are well aware of my granddaughter’s capabilities. A man she sees fit can’t be wrong. Besides, Mengxin agreed out of the years of friendship with your Ling’er and doesn’t mind it. This is already your Xiao Family’s good fortune. You should be secretly pleased instead of putting on airs here. It’s really annoying having to deal with people who say one thing and think another."

This was a key point that Xu had mentioned. Su Mengxin was no ordinary person, and everyone was clear about that. With her current status, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the co-head of the Su Family. And yet, Su Mengxin consented to associate with a married man, with the Su Family’s approval no less, which speaks volumes about the strength of Golden Eagle. Most importantly, at this moment, the Su Family was still willing to defend Li Yifei, forcing the Xiao Family to agree to the marriage. This seemed inconceivable, but it also showed just how close the Su Family’s relationship with Li Yifei had become.

Third Su spoke up, "Since you’ve put it that way, let’s lay our cards on the table. First, the kid’s already married. If your Su Family’s willing to give Mengxin to him, that’s your business. Our Xiao Family still has a reputation to maintain. We can’t do something that’s so disgraceful. Second, our Ling’er is about to get engaged to the He Family. This has already been agreed upon. We can’t go back on our word, so there’s no way we’ll agree."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling’er immediately became anxious, but she was stopped by Su Mengxin.

At that moment, Su’s Third Eldest carelessly tossed his cigarette butt onto the valuable Persian carpet below, immediately causing a burnt hair smell to rise as it began to singe the carpet. This prompted the Xiao Family members to frown—not out of concern for the carpet, but they were quite put off by Su’s Third Eldest’s boorish behavior.

"Fine, if you don’t agree, I won’t force you. I had thought to discuss shipping cooperation with you, but now there’s no need." Old Master Su said, turning to leave without a moment’s hesitation.

Fourth Master Xiao’s face changed as he finally called out, "Third Su, wait."

Third Su paused and said, "If you want to talk about shipping, then trade your Ling’er for it. Otherwise, forget it."

"You... You scoundrel!" Fourth Master Xiao couldn’t help but curse.

"Haha, I am a scoundrel, but you already knew that. So, do you agree or not?"

"You... you..." Fourth Master Xiao was so angry that he wished he could slap Third Su’s face off, but the issue at hand was too significant. He had already discussed it with the family head and knew the stakes. They couldn’t afford to fall out with the Su Family over this. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Third Su, I’ll remember this. Sooner or later, I’ll give you a thorough beating to vent my anger."

Su’s Third Eldest laughed heartily and said, "Fourth Master Xiao, if you’re able to beat me, I’m at your disposal."

Seeing the two old men engage in such talk, Xiao Ling’er couldn’t help but smile brightly, which was as good as a confirmation from the Xiao Family—they had agreed. Now she could be with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled wryly to himself. By doing this, his relationship with Xiao Ling’er was as good as sealed, and he would never be able to break free from her in the future. "Ah, another emotional debt," he thought ruefully, especially considering how difficult it would be to explain this to Xu Yingying.

Third Su came over, patted Fourth Master Xiao on the shoulder, and said with a grin, "You see, Fourth Master Xiao, I told you, you should have just agreed outright. Why go through this trouble, making me exert so much effort? Come, let’s have a couple of drinks and see if I can drink you under the table."

"Third Su, don’t start gloating when you’ve gotten an advantage. We haven’t finalized our cooperation yet, so let’s not talk about that right now."

"No problem, since I’m looking to cooperate with you, I’m definitely bringing sincerity to the table. The most we’ll have to deal with is how to divide the benefits between us. That’s no issue."

"Fine, then there’s one more thing. If you want to take Ling’er away, we’ll have to see just how strong this kid really is."

"A fight? This sounds great!" Su’s Third Eldest immediately exclaimed with excitement.

Fourth Master Xiao revealed a sly smile and said, "All right, tomorrow night in the Xiao Family’s martial arena. Our Xiao Family and the Zheng Family will each produce two men. If Yifei can come out on top against them, then Ling’er and Yuling are all his, and our families will never utter a word of objection."

Third Su looked at Fourth Master Xiao’s expression, but his face showed even more excitement as he replied, "Very well, I agree. Even better if we do it now."

Li Yifei, observing their expressions, suddenly felt uneasy. Those four opponents surely wouldn’t be easy to deal with; otherwise, neither the Xiao Family nor the Zheng Family would look so confident.
