Chapter 463

When Jiang Feng returned to the Su Family, the night was already deep.

The courtyard lights were still on, the dim yellow light shining through the window, adding a touch of warmth to this chilly night.

He pushed open the door and found that Su Xueyan was still awake.

She was sitting on the living room sofa, holding a book; hearing the movement, she lifted her head, saw it was Jiang Feng, and instantly a smile appeared on her face.

"Welcome back?"

Su Xueyan set down the book, rose, walked to the side table, picked up the teapot that had been prepared earlier, poured a cup of clear tea, and handed it to Jiang Feng.

"Drink a sip of tea to warm yourself; the night is cold."

Jiang Feng took the teacup, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

During this period, he had been busy with various matters, leaving him almost no time to think about anything else.

At this moment, seeing Su Xueyan, he realized that after being away for so long, he had seemingly been neglecting her all along.

"How is it? How did things turn out?"

Su Xueyan asked with concern, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Jiang Feng took a sip of tea, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Su Xueyan with a smile.

"All taken care of."

His tone was relaxed, as if he were mentioning a trivial matter.

Jiang Feng looked at her and continued.

"From now on, no one in Jiangnan will dare to cause trouble for the Su Family."

His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was firm.

Su Xueyan heard these words, and her eye sockets turned slightly red.

She knew that what Jiang Feng said was true.

From now on, the Su Family in Jiangnan will no longer have to watch anyone's facial expression.

"These days, the Su Family's business has also recovered a lot."

Su Xueyan suppressed her emotions, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

"Grandfather's health has improved a lot; the doctor said he can be discharged in two days."

Jiang Feng heard this and also let out a sigh of relief.

Old Master Su is advanced in age; although this hospitalization was a scare with no serious danger, it still worried people.

"That's good; waiting for the day Old Master is discharged, I'll go with you……"

Jiang Feng nodded.

Su Xueyan looked at him, her eyes full of emotion.

"Jiang Feng, thank you."

Her voice was soft, yet sincere.

"All of this is what you have brought to the Su Family."

Jiang Feng heard these words, but his heart felt somewhat uneasy.

He shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of apology.

"Don't say that. If it weren't for my conflict with Jun Wuji, the Su Family wouldn't have been targeted. You were originally the Chairman of the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce; you shouldn't have had to bear these things."

He was speaking the truth.

"Back then, if it weren't for him offending the Jun Family, the Su Family wouldn't have become the target of Jiangnan Wang's retaliation, and Su Xueyan wouldn't have been removed from her position as Chamber of Commerce President."

The root of all this was him.

Yet Su Xueyan not only endured all this, but she never complained a single word.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

Su Xueyan heard his words, yet she shook her head and spoke earnestly.

"It's not your fault. Everything you did had your reasoning. Moreover, if it weren't for you, the Su Family wouldn't be where it is today."

Her gaze was clear, without any pretense.

Jiang Feng looked at her, and suddenly an impulse surged in his heart; he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Su Xueyan froze for a moment, then relaxed, leaning against his chest.

"From now on, I want the Su Family to stand at the pinnacle of all Jiangnan."

Jiang Feng's voice wasn't loud, but each word carried weight.

Su Xueyan's body trembled slightly upon hearing these words.

She didn't speak, merely pressing herself closer against him.

The two of them held each other silently for a while, neither speaking.

After a long while, Su Xueyan gently pushed Jiang Feng away, her face flushed with a faint blush.

She suddenly remembered something, looked up at Jiang Feng, hesitated a moment, and then spoke.

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you……"

Jiang Feng looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Senior Jiang Gang contacted me yesterday."

Su Xueyan said up to this point, paused briefly, and observed Jiang Feng's reaction.

Jiang Feng heard the name Jiang Gang, his brows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing.

Su Xueyan continued.

"He said he already knows he was wrong, and wants me to help him plead with you, to see if we can give the Jiang Family another chance."

Her tone carried a hint of caution, as if she were probing Jiang Feng's attitude.

Although she didn't know what Jiang Gang had done to offend Jiang Feng, the fact that he could come to her for help showed the matter was quite serious...

Jiang Feng heard this, fell silent for a moment, and shook his head.

"You don't need to worry about Jiang Gang's affair."

"This matter is his own doing."

Su Xueyan heard this and said no more.

"Fine, then I won't get involved."

"I'll follow your lead in everything."

Jiang Feng gave an affirmative hum and said nothing more.

Su Xueyan then remembered another matter and spoke up.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"The Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce is thinking of asking me to return as chairman."

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"They want to hold another chamber of commerce election ceremony, set for tomorrow. Should we go?"

Jiang Feng heard this and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"The Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce?"

His tone was laced with obvious disdain.

"Why bother with them?"

These opportunistic villains showed no mercy to the Su family back then!

Now they want to invite Su Xueyan back? What a pipe dream!

Su Xueyan wasn't surprised by Jiang Feng's attitude, so she nodded.

"Fine, then I'll refuse them…"

But unexpectedly, Jiang Feng shook his head and said with a cold smile,

"No, why refuse? On the contrary, we should go."

Su Xueyan froze for a moment, not quite grasping Jiang Feng's meaning.

She looked at Jiang Feng, puzzled.

Jiang Feng looked at her and said calmly,

"When they dismissed you back then, they didn't hesitate at all. Now that they see the Su family rising, they want you back—do they think it'll be that easy?"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word carried a chill.

Su Xueyan heard this and understood in her heart.

Jiang Feng wasn't refusing to go; he intended to go, but not in the way they imagined.

"I'll accompany you tomorrow."

Jiang Feng said.

"I want to see what face those people have to stand before you."

Su Xueyan looked at Jiang Feng, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew Jiang Feng was doing this to back her up.

"Good."

Su Xueyan nodded, a smile on her face.

Jiang Feng checked the time; it was already late.

"Get some rest early; we still have to go to the chamber of commerce tomorrow."

Su Xueyan gave an affirmative hum, rose, and cleared the teacups from the coffee table.

Jiang Feng watched her busy back, and suddenly felt a sense of reassurance.

No matter how stormy it is outside, as long as we return here, there's a feeling of peace.

"Jiang Feng..."

Su Xueyan suddenly turned her head, looked at him, and couldn't help but speak.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the woman before him with a flushed face, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh and ask,

Su Xueyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Thank you."

Thank you for appearing in my life—it's made everything different!
