665 Settled
Yan Shen was faintly mocking and watching the show. He was just short of crossing his arms and getting the popcorn.
Chu Ning was intrigued by his attitude of watching the show like it was no big deal. She teased him, “I didn’t expect you to have the hobby of watching shows. I thought you would be indifferent.”
“I don’t usually care. My father always taught me to be calm. No matter what happens, I have to be rational and objective. However, that was in the past. Now, I just wanted to change my mood and live in a different way. I hadn’t encountered such a thing in the past. Otherwise, I might have already been watching the show from the side.”
Chu Ning was amused by his sincere explanation and smiled for some time. The second young master of the Lu family finally got tired of ranting. He stood on the spot and panted heavily, both sides locked in a stalemate.
At that moment, someone from the Su family finally came. It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. Everyone present knew him. He was Su Ming, the heir of the Su family.
Su Ming had a decent smile on his face as he walked slowly towards Second Young Master Lu. He waved his hand, and the Su family’s bodyguards immediately took a step back in an orderly manner. It seemed like they were no longer stopping him, but in truth, if the people from the Lu family made any moves, the bodyguards would rush forward.
Su Ming had on a friendly smile and politely greeted, “Second Young Master Lu, what brings you here? Hasn’t the Lu family always been uninterested in our gatherings?”
Second Young Master Lu didn’t show him any respect and snorted coldly. “If you still have self-awareness, tell these idiots to move aside. My Lu family has never suffered such grievances.”
Su Ming’s expression remained unchanged; he did not even raise his eyebrows. “Second Young Master Lu, why do you have to do this? To a great family like the Lu family, it’s just a matter of informing us if you want to enter without an invitation. Why make things difficult for everyone? Now that things are like this, it won’t be easy for us to end things.”
Second Young Master Lu gritted his teeth fiercely. “Who are you to say these things to me? Call Su Kun out. Today, you must give our Lu family an explanation for your Su family not knowing how to appreciate kindness.”
He placed great emphasis on the words ‘not knowing how to appreciate kindness’. When he saw that Su Ming was unmoved, his expression turned even darker. “What’s wrong? Jing City’s Lu family can’t even see a bumpkin like Su Kun? He dares to act arrogantly with the Lu family?”
Su Ming’s smile faded away and his tone turned cold. “Lu Xing, you’re just a pawn. Don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Once he said those words, Lu Xing’s face turned ashen. He did not expect Su Ming to directly point it out in public. He ground his teeth, but still managed to spit out a sentence. “Su Ming, you are going too far.”
Su Ming straightened his back. “A lousy pawn that is used as a pathfinder will not be compared to treasure just because it has the Lu family’s mark on it. Trash, is simply trash.”
After saying that, he turned to the guests who were watching the show. “Sorry for letting everyone watch such a farce. We will give everyone a coupon for the auction later. After everyone has checked the invitation cards, you can go in. I wish everyone a good time.”
When he heard the people around him say that it was alright, Su Ming smiled and nodded. He gave the bodyguards beside him a look, and some immediately went up to them and dragged the Lu family away without any hesitation.
When Lu Xing saw Su Ming’s actions, he no longer shouted like he did in the beginning, nor did he look angry at all. Instead, he laughed coldly and stared straight into Su Ming’s eyes. He turned around and left after uttering a single sentence: “The heir that the Su family has nurtured with all their might is nothing more than this.”
Su Ming did not even look at him. He smiled and exchanged a few polite words with the guests before returning to the cruise ship with his bodyguards.
Chu Ning looked at Su Ming’s back. She did not expect that such a conflict would end in such a comical manner.
When Yan Shen saw Chu Ning’s contemplative look, he could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
Chu Ning came back to her senses and shook her head. “Nothing. Let’s go, it’s our turn.”
Chu Ning had a feeling that this matter would not be resolved so easily. The conflict between the two families would not stop there.
It seemed that the Lu family had temporarily taken a step back, but with her keen insight, Chu Ning guessed that the Su family did not have the upper hand.
