NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57: Deception
"So eager to visit the Su family? It seems you're quite keen on marrying Su Wanqing!"
Fang Feifei stood aside and, after hearing Wang Ye's words, she said to him.
But in reality, Fang Feifei knew there was a reason for Wang Ye's haste to get married. However, she still deliberately asked like this because she wanted to see how Wang Ye would react.
Upon hearing Fang Feifei's words, Chen Li smiled faintly, then quietly watched to see how Wang Ye would handle it.
If Chen Li's intuition was correct, it seemed Fang Feifei harbored some affection for Wang Ye.
Otherwise, why would she have helped Wang Ye at the Treasure Appraisal Conference? And now, she had also specifically rushed over to assist Wang Ye at the Medicinal Materials Conference.
"Yes, marrying Su Wanqing is very important to me," Wang Ye admitted frankly.
However, his answer was somewhat indelicate.
Upon hearing this, Fang Feifei pursed her lips, "Then go ahead!"
"Alright, Miss Fang, goodbye."
Wang Ye agreed and headed straight for the Su estate.
…
Meanwhile, as Wang Ye hastened toward the Su estate, Yang Junsheng had already arrived there before him.
Seeing Yang Junsheng, Su Yuanqiao and Su Wanqing knew trouble had come. Given the last incident, Yang Junsheng must still have been fuming. So, he wouldn't let the Su family off easily.
But Su Yuanqiao and Su Wanqing had no choice but to face Yang Junsheng. After all, the Yang family still held important contracts belonging to the Su family in their hands.
"Young Master Yang, what brings you to us today?" Su Yuanqiao asked, pretending to be oblivious to any issue.
Yang Junsheng offered a cold smile, "Elder Master Su, you mean to tell me you don't know why I'm here?"
"I really don't know. I'm old now, just an old man," Su Yuanqiao chose to keep playing the fool.
Yang Junsheng didn't expose him but instead shifted his gaze to Su Wanqing.
"Su Wanqing, the elder surely doesn't know, but you must, right? Aren't you the one handling most of the affairs of the Su family company now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing did not feign ignorance like Su Yuanqiao but spoke directly, "I know, you're here for the Su family's contracts, right?"
"Miss Su is indeed a smart person, guess right on the first try. Yes, I'm here for the contracts. If the Su family still wants them, you'll have to do as I say," Yang Junsheng's gaze lingered on Su Wanqing, stirring with anticipation.
Every time he saw Su Wanqing, he felt an overwhelming desire to possess her.
"Young Master Yang, that is definitely not possible. You saw it yourself the other day, the marriage arrangement between the Su family and Wang Ye cannot be canceled," Su Yuanqiao interrupted without waiting for Yang Junsheng to specify his demands.
Yang Junsheng smiled with a hint of intrigue, "Elder Master Su, who said anything about canceling the marriage arrangement?"
"Oh? Then what do you mean?" Brightness flared in Su Yuanqiao's eyes.
As long as it wasn't about canceling the marriage, he was almost willing to accept anything.
After all, regarding that marriage arrangement, all Su Yuanqiao was concerned about was whether he would incur divine wrath or not. As for Wang Ye, he didn't care about him in the slightest.
"Of course, it's about getting married to Wang Ye as soon as possible! After all, Wang Ye already obtained three hundred million in cash, which is a sufficient wedding gift for the Su family," Yang Junsheng continued.
Su Yuanqiao and Su Wanqing were stunned upon hearing these words. What did Yang Junsheng mean by this?
Wasn't he the last person who wanted to see Wang Ye and Su Wanqing get married? Why was he now actively pushing for it?
There must be deception involved.
"Yang Junsheng, what game are you trying to play? I'm telling you, I won't fall for your tricks," Su Wanqing did not believe for one second that Yang Junsheng's actions were genuine.
"Wanqing, you've misunderstood me! I'm doing this entirely for your own good. I understand that you don't like me. The one you like is Young Master He, isn't it?" Yang Junsheng looked at Su Wanqing with a face full of difficulty.
"Nonsense!" Su Wanqing immediately denied it.
Indeed, she had gone to see He Lei, but that was because they were high school classmates. Moreover, she knew that He Lei could help with the Yang Family matters.
So what she did was actually out of necessity. For the Su family, to avoid marrying Wang Ye, she had no other choice but to do that.
"Wanqing, there's no need to deny it! Liking Young Master He is nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that in Young Master He's heart, the person who resides there is none other than Miss Fang Feifei, so you don't stand much of a chance," Yang Junsheng knew quite a bit.
"Enough, Yang Junsheng, if you have something to say, just get on with it, I don't want to waste words with you!" Su Wanqing had already lost her patience.
Who He Lei likes has nothing to do with her. All she cares about right now is the Su family.
"Fine! Then I'll talk business with you," Yang Junsheng became serious, "You and Wang Ye, get married as soon as possible. I can give you a chance regarding the Su family's contract. But after that, you must follow my arrangements. This time, I want Wang Ye."
"Ah? Young Master Yang, you want Wang Ye?" Su Yuanqiao looked at Yang Junsheng in surprise.
Wasn't Yang Junsheng interested in his granddaughter, Su Wanqing? How come now he wanted Wang Ye?
"Elder Master Su, don't get me wrong, what I want is Wang Ye's life! That boy, he successfully infuriated me," Yang Junsheng said, revealing a fierce gleam in his eyes.
"So that's the case, then there's no problem. As long as the marriage agreement is fulfilled, I don't care what happens to Wang Ye," Su Yuanqiao agreed without hesitation.
Su Wanqing hesitated for a moment, although she had no feelings for Wang Ye, if Yang Junsheng truly wanted Wang Ye's life, she couldn't abet tyranny!
Most crucially, deep down, Su Wanqing actually had a strange, indescribable feeling towards Wang Ye.
"Wanqing, what are you hesitating about? Could it be that you've fallen for Wang Ye?" Yang Junsheng said, observing Su Wanqing's hesitation.
"Get lost! I couldn't possibly like Wang Ye," Su Wanqing denied immediately.
"Then that's settled! Just do as I say, it's good for the Su family and good for me as well, a win-win situation!"
The three of them were talking when the Su family's butler walked in.
"Master, Wang Ye has arrived."
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. That's all for today; consider well what I said!" Yang Junsheng did not want to run into Wang Ye here, as it might reveal his plans.
"Alright, then Young Master Yang, please leave through the back door."
"Hmm," Yang Junsheng nodded, and before leaving, he added, "Wang Ye's coming this time is surely to ask for a hand in marriage! So you all, you'd better think it through clearly."
After Yang Junsheng left, Su Yuanqiao took a deep breath before instructing the butler, "Bring Wang Ye in!"
"Yes, Master."
Complying, the butler led Wang Ye to the Su family's living room.
"Elder Master Su, Miss Su."
After entering, Wang Ye greeted them first.
But Su Wanqing didn't give him a warm reception at all.
On the contrary, Su Yuanqiao replied with a smile, "Hmm, Mr. Wang, please have a seat!"
