Chapter 54: Yan Yan's Alter Ego

But the banquet is your responsibility! If something happens at the banquet, you have to take responsibility!

Su Xiwei, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, don't you even have this bit of responsibility?

Besides, although your Su family does have some standing in Jingcheng, after all you only became rich in the past couple of years—you're upstarts—and compared to us oldney, there's simply no comparison.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity today and not even invited your parents.

Saying this, Yan Zi Xin's eyes flashed with pride and contempt.

Su Xiyan couldn't help but laugh; she had just caused such a big scene with the Su family, and it's uncertain whether Su Qingming has even left the hospital.

If she really invited them, who knows what trouble would stir up again; she figures she's just too idle to find work for herself.

However, Su Xiyan suddenly noticed that the Su family side has indeed been unusually quiet lately.

After that huge incident, Su Qingming, that phoenix-man, didn't pursue it—indeed he's completely gone silent.

But the present situation doesn't allow Su Xiyan to dwell on other matters.

A middle-aged couple stormed into the room, furious; seeing Yan Zi Xin's expression change instantly, Su Xiyan guessed they must be the Rong couple offended by Zhang Chengye.

You Yan family! Today you're really bullying people too much!

My wife is this old, yet you let Zhang Chengye, that little brat, this spoiled rich kid, tarnish her purity!

I want to see your Yan family's patriarch; this matter must be given a satisfactory explanation!

Otherwise, even if my Rong clan in Jingdu can't compare to your Yan family, I'd still exhaust generations of my Rong family's wealth to fight you Yan clan to the death!

Yan Zi Xin hurriedly smiled, 'Mr. Rong, please don't get angry.'

This matter must absolutely not reach my father's ears; otherwise, at his age, his body couldn't take it!

Cheng Ye is still just a child, he's young! You've watched him grow up; every time you saw Madame Rong before, he would always respectfully call her 'Aunt Rong'.

Today's matter, he really is innocent!

You see, I'm so furious I forgot to first come apologize to you.

This is our Yan family's newly arrived eldest daughter-in-law, Yan Moci's wife.

The eldest daughter of the Jingcheng tea-leaf aristocratic Su family, Su Xiwei.

Today, this banquet is hosted by her; to say the matter turned out like this, it's entirely due to her lax supervision—her responsibility.

I'll have her apologize to you right away!

Hearing Yan Zi Xin say that, Rong Shengtian instantly glared at Su Xiyan with fury, he arrogantly curled the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully:

The Jingcheng tea-leaf aristocratic Su family—you've never even heard of such a petty clan—you're not even worthy to speak to me directly.

Moreover, who doesn't know what state your Yan family's eldest master Yan Moci is in now—he's long lost his prestige.

Those who came today to this so-called birthday banquet are merely giving face to the old patriarch.

Hmph, if you don't summon the old patriarch, then don't bring some untutored little girl who hasn't even dried behind the ears to annoy my eyes.

I see the Yan family is truly incapable; they dare to entrust such a grand birthday banquet to an outsider to manage.

Yan Zi Xin didn't expect Rong Shengtian to deny her face like this; today's incident is also because Cheng Ye really went too far.

One moment he's clutching Madame Rong and refusing to let go, the next he's insulting others as an old, yellow‑toothed sow, even claiming Madame Rong had privately fawned on him—clearly Rong Shengtian is past his prime.

Seeing Madame Rong shrink back, not daring to speak, Rong Shengtian flew into a rage; if the old patriarch doesn't step in, this will be hard to settle!

Moreover, Cheng Ye's future in Jingcheng's elite circles will likely be hampered by a significant stumbling block!

Just as Yan Zi Xin was gritting her teeth in silence, she heard Su Xiyan ask calmly:

May I ask, Mr. Rong, is your Rong Fortune Group the one that built its fortune on mountain delicacies and seafood?

Now it dominates the entire Huaxia high-end medicinal materials market and even exports overseas, to the point that foreign leaders can get a bit of face from Rong Fortune?

Rong Shengtian sneered, 'Even if it's that Rong Fortune, no matter how you flatter me, it's useless.'

Su Xiyan smiled faintly, 'I don't know—does the name white angelica have any use?'

Seeing Su Xiyan chatting with Rong Shengtian like that, Yan Zi Xin rolled her eyes in disdain; the Rong Fortune medicinal materials business is thriving, to the point that even the Yan family dares to challenge it.

Su Xiwei, this ignorant little girl, uttering some obscure herb name, is just bringing disgrace upon herself!

Yan Moci was always monitoring Su Xiyan's situation; seeing Rong Shengtian's arrogance, although he understood his anger, he still felt dissatisfied.

Rong Fortune, lately he's been too lenient; if it weren't for seeing that Rong Shengtian handles affairs decently...

This Rong Fortune would never have risen so quickly, nor would it dare to show such disrespect to Yan Yan.

But, white angelica.

Yan Moci's heart suddenly jolted—could it be that white angelica?

Rong Shengtian's gaze was also doubtful; he looked at Su Xiyan uncertainly and asked:

I don't know what you mean by white angelica—what are you referring to?

A clear stream winds through peach and plum trees.

Su Xiyan merely said lightly:

Rong Shengtian's eyes instantly flashed with brilliance; he exclaimed excitedly:

Green reeds swaying, embracing white angelica!

At this moment, he no longer cared about his wife being humiliated.

As his business grew larger, he and his wife had long been merely together in appearance; his anger was nothing more than dissatisfaction at being publicly cuckolded.

But the fact that being cuckolded could actually yield such a gain!

If being cuckolded once would allow him to finally meet the true biggest shareholder of Rong Fortune, who has been hiding behind the scenes, constantly supplying him with various scarce wild mountain delicacies...

then he'd rather wear a hundred green hats!

Straight up wearing the Hulunbuir grassland would be fine too!

Anyway, more lice, no worry!

Rong Shengtian's excited lips trembled; his formerly arrogant posture now bent respectfully, and he didn't even dare to look straight ahead.

Old...

Rong Shengtian, just call me Madame Yan.

After saying that, Su Xiyan gave Rong Shengtian a look, warning him not to reveal her identity.

Rong Shengtian immediately understood, nodding repeatedly,

Yes, yes, Madame Yan.

Moreover, he immediately turned to the crowd and said:

Everyone, today's incident is just a misunderstanding! It has nothing to do with Madame Yan!...

Outside this door, you may gossip about me, Rong someone, but if I hear any of you say a single bad word about Madame Yan...

I, Rong someone, will certainly not let him off!

Rong Shengtian's sudden change in attitude left even Yan Zi Xin dumbfounded—after all, Yan Zi Xin is a married daughter.

Strictly speaking, her current husband's family, due to poor management in recent years, is even worse than Rong Fu; now Rong Shengtian's attitude—isn't he saying that Yan Zi Xin is inferior to Su Xiyan!

Seeing Rong Shengtian just give up like that, the resentful Yan Zi Xin was unwilling to let it rest.

She looked at Su Xiyan with venomous hatred, gritting her teeth as she said:

Although Mr. Rong is magnanimous and does not pursue the matter, Cheng Ye's such negligence must be someone's deliberate sabotage!

I will definitely get to the bottom of this!
