Chapter 1439: The Elder Makes His Entrance
Where there are people, there is a jianghu, and where there is a jianghu, conflict is inevitable. This is an eternal truth.
A wealthy family is like a microcosm of jianghu, but the intrigues within this microcosm are not to be underestimated.
As Ye Xunhuan looked at the man, Su Mingxuan whispered in Ye Xunhuan's ear, "This guy's name is Su Yunyi. I heard from my mom that he has quite a talent for business, and she even gave him some shares in the company. It seems she is grooming him as an heir..."
"Aren't you jealous..."
"What's there to be jealous about?" Su Mingxuan said calmly, "One must know oneself. If it's not your piece of cake, being jealous is useless!"
"But my sister can't accept this. I heard from my dad that my sister is also very talented in business. My mom isn't stupid; if she finds my sister, she'd surely want to hand over the company to her one day!"
Looking at Su Mingxuan's calm and undisturbed demeanor, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but admire Su Mingxuan!
Despite his young age, his mentality is unmatched by others.
To recognize facts and face oneself honestly.
Indeed, the wealthy is not only a place that breeds wastrels but also talents.
"To block someone's path to fortune is as if killing their parents. My sister is completely blocking his way. Do you think he can genuinely care for her, or if my mom announces my sister as the future heir, would he loyally assist her?" Su Mingxuan said seriously, "By the way, he isn't a Su family member."
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, looking at Su Mingxuan with surprise, "Not a Su family member?"
"Hm!" Su Mingxuan nodded, "He's an adopted son of the Su family!"
"An adopted son?"
"Yes." Su Mingxuan nodded again, "But don't ask me why an adopted son would have a chance to inherit my mom's huge estate; I do not know, nor do I know why the Su family adopted him. However, I heard it's related to matters of the older generation."
Ye Xunhuan firmly memorized Su Mingxuan's words in his heart.
It seems that the Su family has secrets.
In this era, even dogs matter for pedigree. Now Jian Yunong is grooming someone unrelated to the Su bloodline as an heir. The secret in this could hardly be a small one for Ye Xunhuan!
Although Su Mingxuan made Ye Xunhuan be wary of Su Yunyi as it relates to Mei Hanqing, Su Yunyi was polite and well-mannered when facing Mei Hanqing!
But generally speaking, dogs that bite don't bark, while those that bark usually don't bite.
Since Su Mingxuan told Ye Xunhuan such things, he certainly wasn't joking or trying to exclude the other party.
He had no reason to.
Considering he is Jian Yunong's son, even without Mei Hanqing, if the large estate were handed over to Su Yunyi, wouldn't Jian Yunong still leave some shares to her own son to sit back and earn dividends?
Su Yunyi appeared very enthusiastic toward Mei Hanqing, acting almost like a good big brother, leaving Mei Hanqing a bit unsure how to react.
Yet, Su Yunyi didn't talk to Mei Hanqing for too long or act overly passionate; he stopped appropriately.
After chatting with Mei Hanqing for a while, Su Yunyi turned and walked away.
Because of Mei Hanqing's presence and the halo surrounding her, she naturally became the focus of the banquet.
At least until Su Mingzheng appeared, she was the center of attention.
Finally, after briefly dealing with those trying to get close and build connections with her, Mei Hanqing slowly approached Ye Xunhuan.
At this moment, despite Mei Hanqing's strong social skills, she revealed a hint of fatigue.
"Why do you look like you've been in a fight?" Ye Xunhuan said casually, "Don't you find being surrounded by everyone pleasant?"
Mei Hanqing sighed softly, "I finally understand why General Qiu seldom attends such banquets!"
"Why?"
"Each of these people has a little abacus, clacking away in their hearts!"
Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, people hustle and bustle for profit. Those getting close to Mei Hanqing must have other motives.
Otherwise, if Mei Hanqing were just a small PR manager at Huangtu Group, how could these bigwigs deliberately approach her!
Although Mei Hanqing is good-looking, the world isn't lacking beauties!
...
In the club, guests came and went, gathering in small groups to chat amidst a bustling atmosphere.
Before long, someone shouted, "Master Su has arrived!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the noisy club immediately quieted down.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Mei Hanqing's father, Su Bingzhi, supported Su Mingzheng as they walked out from a corner of the club.
Then, under everyone's eyes, Su Bingzhi helped Su Mingzheng slowly walk to the head seat.
All the guests, upon seeing Su Mingzheng, instinctively lined up according to their closeness, preparing to offer birthday greetings to Su Mingzheng.
Su Mingzheng had a dignified square face, covered in age spots, with greying hair and beard, yet his spirit was sharp. His originally cloudy eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light, making it difficult to underestimate this seemingly gentle old man.
Upon seeing Su Mingzheng, Mei Hanqing's lips parted slightly, her exquisite face filled with indescribable surprise.
Is this... this old man Master Su Mingzheng of the Su family?
Knowing that Su Mingzheng once visited Jiangzhong City specifically to see Mei Hanqing, although he didn't reveal his identity then, he simply appeared as an elder, wanting Mei Hanqing's company!
At that time, Mei Hanqing was puzzled, not recalling knowing the old man, yet wondering why he wanted her company.
She also wondered why he seemed so familiar.
At this moment, all her doubts were explained.
So this was her grandfather, no wonder he seemed familiar, no wonder she felt close to him, all because of the blood in her veins!
For a moment, Mei Hanqing's face was full of bitterness.
She wasn't foolish; she understood why Su Mingzheng visited Jiangzhong City and why he didn't reveal his identity.
He probably wanted to avoid her unwillingness to see him or any accompanying emotions?
At this moment, four words involuntarily floated in Mei Hanqing's mind—painful but deliberate!
Ye Xunhuan captured the expression on Mei Hanqing's face, "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Mei Hanqing slowly returned to her senses, took a deep breath, and replied with a hint of bitterness, "I met him a few days ago!"
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, and Su Mingxuan next to him was also surprised.
