Chapter 3: The Su Family Is About to Collapse!

"Su… Su Lao! What are you doing?"

Xie Fang was the first to react, her voice trembling, "That kid is a liar; you mustn't be fooled by him!"

"Jiang Feng! Why didn't you say earlier that you know Su Lao?"

Ye Xiaoyue quickly restrained her earlier disdain, sprinted two steps at a time to Jiang Feng's side, grabbed his arm and forced a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.

"Su Lao, we were just joking. Jiang Feng and our Ye Family have a close relationship; he's also my fiancé, right Jiang Feng?"

She didn't know how Jiang Feng had won Su Lao's favor, but she was sure that as long as Jiang Feng acknowledged their good relationship, Su Lao would, out of respect for Jiang Feng, look upon the Ye Family more favorably.

Later, they might even get a connection with the Su Family, which is far better than marrying into the Zhao Family!

After all, who doesn't know that the Su Family is the sky of this Jiangcheng!

Ye Xiaoyue thought that, as a beauty, a little flirtation would be enough to coax Jiang Feng into a spin.

But Jiang Feng, as if he hadn't seen her, sneered, "Fiancé? I'm out of my league. Who just said I'm a toad trying to eat swan meat?"

Those words made Ye Xiaoyue's face turn bright red instantly; she couldn't even speak.

Xie Fang realized the situation was bad and hurried forward to back her up.

"Jiang Feng! You mustn't speak recklessly! Xiaoyue was just joking with you! It's a child's temper; don't take it to heart! We do have a marriage contract."

"Marriage contract?"

Jiang Feng snorted, his gaze sweeping over the marriage letter scraps still littering the ground.

"When you tore the marriage letter earlier, why didn't you mention a marriage contract? Now that you see I can bring you benefits, you bring up the contract again? The faces of you Ye Family people are truly thicker than city walls."

"From the moment you tore the marriage letter, I, Jiang Feng, have had no connection with the Ye Family. From now on, don't mention any marriage contract; I find it filthy."

Those words were like a slap, striking Xie Fang and Ye Xiaoyue hard on the face.

Xie Fang's face instantly resembled a palette, flashing red then white; she wanted to curse but didn't dare.

After all, Su Ruiqing was watching nearby, so she could only force her anger back in.

Ye Xiaoyue's eyes were red at this moment, not from grievance but from urgency.

She knew that if she missed this chance, the Ye Family, let alone climbing a higher branch, might not even preserve its current business; she quickly grabbed Jiang Feng's sleeve, her voice trembling with sobs.

"Jiang Feng, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have spoken to you like that; we can still discuss the marriage contract, so please don't tell Su Lao that we have nothing between us, okay?"

Jiang Feng directly shook off her hand, stepped back, creating distance, his eyes showing unabashed disgust.

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Su Xueyan suddenly recalled when they were on the mountain earlier.

"Jiang Feng."

Her voice carried a barely perceptible gentleness, "Thank you for saving me today; since your marriage contract has been canceled, then…"

She took a deep breath, as if making a huge decision, and continued.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to try with you; from now on, your affairs will be my affairs."

When those words were spoken, the whole venue fell silent.

Xie Fang and Ye Xiaoyue opened their mouths wide, as if they'd seen a ghost.

They never expected that Jiangcheng's First Beauty, the CEO who controls hundreds of billions of assets, Su Xueyan, would proactively confess to Jiang Feng! She's a woman that countless wealthy heirs could never obtain!

Su Ruiqing's face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Good! Su Xueyan speaks well! Mr. Jiang, although my Su Family isn't top‑tier, we still have some standing in Jiangcheng. Su Xueyan is my only granddaughter; I entrust her to you, and from now on you will be my Su Family's grandson‑in‑law! Anyone who dares to bully you is opposing me, Su Ruiqing!"

He said this while pulling a phone from his pocket, dialing a number, his tone serious.

"Lao Zhang, issue an order right now to terminate all cooperative projects with the Ye Family, and also notify every company in Jiangcheng that deals with the Ye Family: anyone who dares to do business with the Ye Family is going against my Su Family! Additionally, tighten the Ye Family's bank loans; I want the Ye Family completely bankrupt within three days!"

"Yes… I'll arrange it right away."

"Su Lao!"

"You can't do this! Our Ye Family has no feud with the Su Family; how can you blacklist us just because of Jiang Feng!"

Xie Fang collapsed onto the ground, wailing loudly.

"Su Lao, please raise your noble hand! We know we were wrong; please spare the Ye Family, we will kowtow to you!"

She was about to kneel on the ground, but a security guard pulled her up.

Soon, Xie Fang received a call from the bank.

"Xie Nvshi, I'm sorry, the loan your company recently applied for has been rigorously evaluated and deemed unsuitable…"

Boom—

Each bank call was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Xie Fang into a stunned silence.

She was so frightened she couldn't even hold her phone, fell to her knees, muttering in despair, "It's over, everything is over."

Jiang Feng looked at Xie Fang's current state, feeling no sympathy at all.

He nodded at Su Ruiqing, "Sorry to trouble you, Su Lao."

"Not a trouble, not a trouble!"

Su Ruiqing quickly waved his hand, inviting warmly.

"Mr. Jiang, Su Xueyan's Cold Poison still needs treatment; why not first return with us to the Su Family, so we can properly extend our hospitality."

Su Xueyan also looked at Jiang Feng, her gaze filled with expectation.

Jiang Feng thought it over; after all, he's just out of the mountains for training, and any place is the same.

Moreover, Su Xueyan's Cold Poison truly needed further treatment, so he agreed.

"Fine."

Su Ruiqing immediately beamed with joy, personally opening the door of a Rolls‑Royce beside them.

"Mr. Jiang, please!"

Su Xueyan also got into the car, sitting beside Jiang Feng.

The convoy quickly left the Ye Family villa, leaving Xie Fang and Ye Xiaoyue collapsing on the spot.

"Mom! What are we going to do? The Su Family is blacklisting us; our Ye Family is really finished!"

Ye Xiaoyue, crying, grabbed Xie Fang's arm, and her delicate makeup was smeared.

Xie Fang also panicked, wiped away her tears, and suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up.

"By the way! Xiaoyue, don't you know Zhao Qiancheng, the Eldest Son of the Zhao Family? The Zhao Family is also one of the Four Great Families of Jiangcheng, so perhaps Eldest Son Zhao can help us! Quickly call Eldest Son Zhao!"

Ye Xiaoyue, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly took out her phone and, flustered, dialed Zhao Qiancheng's number.

The phone rang several times before it was finally answered.

On the other end came Zhao Qiancheng's flippant voice: "Xiaoyue, why did you think of calling me? Missing me? Let me tell you, tonight at the Chamber of Commerce Banquet I'll take you to meet a few big figures, and I'll get you a new bag then."

"Eldest Son Zhao! Please save our Ye Family quickly!"

Ye Xiaoyue, with a sobbing voice, said: "The Su Family wants to block us; think of a way quickly!"

Zhao Qiancheng was momentarily stunned, then laughed, his tone full of contempt.

"Su Family? Given the Su Family's current situation, they still dare to block others? Xiaoyue, don't be anxious; I'll tell you something and you won't have to worry."

Ye Xiaoyue quickly asked: "What is it? Eldest Son Zhao, speak quickly!"

Zhao Qiancheng's voice lowered a few degrees, carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

"I heard that Su Xueyan contracted Cold Poison in childhood and never recovered; Divine Doctor Sun Boyong even said she won't live long."

Ye Xiaoyue's eyes widened to the point of being round: "Really… is it true? Su Xueyan's life is short?"

"Of course it's true! The other families of Jiangcheng have long had their eyes on the Su Family's assets."

Zhao Qiancheng was utterly certain, his voice revealing a chilling coldness.

"Su Ruiqing is old; as soon as Su Xueyan dies, the Su Family will be leaderless, and then we can split the Su Family's territory! Tonight at the Chamber of Commerce Banquet, our several families will join forces to strike against the Su Family; the Su Family will be finished immediately!"
