Chapter 448: Stand Up for Liu Mengyun! Am I Not Pretty Enough?

"What do you think about Liu Mengyun joining the Emergency Unit?"

"I fully support it!" the woman laughed. "Protecting the country and people—it's great! Our entire Liu family supports it!"

At this moment, she regretted it.

If only she had known earlier that Su Yang had come with Liu Mengyun.

She wouldn't have spoken so carelessly.

Su Yang's question was extremely forceful.

But Liu Long and his wife sat quietly to the side, saying nothing.

Or rather, they both didn't want to.

Liu Liu Mengying stared at Su Yang, her beautiful large eyes flickering nonstop.

Su Yang's brow furrowed deeper. He continued: "So does your earlier remark imply that Liu Mengyun serving as my deputy is beneath her?"

"Hahaha, nothing of the sort!" the woman shook her head again. "Commander Su is a dragon among men. For Liu Mengyun to earn Commander Su's favor is her honor."

This was indeed true.

If Su Yang hadn't already had a deputy, many family factions would have gladly recommended their most outstanding young members to serve as his deputy.

A commanding officer's deputy is like a boss's secretary.

Though they handle all the menial tasks, they're almost always the leader's confidants.

As long as you align yourself with a promising boss, your status rises with his!

Just like Ma Wenhong's Deputy Tian—he may hold a low rank and weak cultivation, yet all fourteen captains of the Emergency Unit still treat him with courtesy!

"Hmm, maybe I misheard you just now!"

"Maybe I'm just bad with words and caused Commander Su to misunderstand!"

Su Yang smiled, finding the woman quite astute.

Still, he had no intention of pursuing the matter.

After all, she was Liu Mengyun's family.

"Then I'll leave you two to chat. My porridge's still cooking—if I don't go back, it'll burn!"

Su Yang nodded.

Liu Long also said: "Go ahead, sister-in-law!"

Only then did Su Yang learn the woman's identity—Liu Long's wife.

"Then goodbye!"

Liu Long's sister-in-law closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

Back home, she flew into a rage and smashed everything in the house!

She never expected Su Yang would stand up for Liu Mengyun!

Weren't they enemies?

After dining at Liu Long's home, Su Yang had a clear understanding of the whole situation.

Because Liu Long served as the Southwest Regional Director of the Treasures Pavilion, the Liu family's businesses had partnered extensively with the Treasures Pavilion through his connections, earning substantial profits.

But because Liu Mengyun provoked Su Yang, drawing the ire of the Southwest Military Department and angering many high-ranking officials of the Treasures Pavilion, and after the Treasures Pavilion dispatched a Sovereign-level expert to oversee the Southwest region, Liu Long's influence and status within the Treasures Pavilion's Southwest branch were severely weakened.

This directly caused the Liu family to lose many cooperative projects with the Treasures Pavilion, drastically reducing their income.

In short, the entire Liu family was deeply dissatisfied with Liu Mengyun!

Even Liu Long himself was under immense pressure.

Su Yang smiled: "They've forgotten that the reason they earned so much money was because you're the Southwest Regional Director of the Treasures Pavilion—they've grown accustomed to it!"

"Hard to say. The family did help me a lot early on. Without them, I wouldn't have reached my current position."

The meal ended, and both host and guest were satisfied.

Because of Su Yang's earlier defense of Liu Mengyun, Liu's mother's hostility toward him had lessened considerably.

Liu's mother even served Su Yang food herself, acting with great warmth.

Su Yang understood her intentions, but accepted them all.

That night, the Liu family's car directly took Su Yang home.

Su Yang stood at his front door and said to Liu Mengyun: "Go back inside."

"Mm."

Liu Mengyun got into the car.

Back home, Liu Mengyun was called into the study by Liu Long.

Liu Mengyun's mother followed her in.

Liu Long asked: "How have you been these past six months?"

"Not bad."

"You've lost weight!" Liu Mengyun's mother said, heartbroken.

Liu Long asked: "How's your relationship with Su Yang… still okay?"

"Commander Su has a good personality. He hasn't held my past against me—he's been quite kind to me."

Liu Mengyun knew what her parents wanted to hear.

"Good! Good!"

Even though Liu Mengyun had committed a grave mistake and dragged Liu Long, the Treasures Pavilion, and the entire Liu family into trouble,

as parents, no matter how terrible their child's error, they would still forgive.

What Liu Mengyun's parents feared most was that she would suffer mistreatment from Su Yang.

After all, they had started as enemies. Even though Liu Long had reached out to Ma Wenhong, it still wasn't guaranteed.

Now that she knew Liu Mengyun had a decent relationship with Su Yang, seeing Su Yang speak up for Liu Mengyun meant at least Liu Mengyun's life with him wouldn't be too bad.

Seeing Liu Long asked, "Can you tell me about Su Yang?"

Liu Mengyun replied succinctly, "Surpassing General Qin Qin Pengcheng should be no problem!"

Seeing Liu Long knew his woman was still cautious and sharp-minded.

If Su Yang could surpass General Qin Qin Pengcheng, it was almost certainly true.

"Then do your best for him!"

"Mm!"

Back in the room, Liu Mengyun found her younger brother and sister already in her chamber.

Liu Liu Mengying, in her pajamas, lay on her bed, while her brother sat beside it.

"Sister!"

"Sis!"

"Aren't you two going to sleep?"

Liu Liu Menghan asked, "Sister, I want to ask you something!"

"What is it?"

"How is Su Yang treating you? Has he bullied you?"

Liu Mengyun pinched his cheek and asked, "So what if he did?"

Liu Liu Menghan stuck out his neck and said, "Once I awaken my Beast Tamer talent, I'll beat him up for you!"

Liu Mengyun laughed at her foolish younger brother.

Even Liu Liu Mengying joined in laughing.

"My foolish little brother!" Liu Liu Mengying rolled on the bed laughing, "How could you possibly be Su Yang's match? He doesn't even need to lift a finger to handle you!"

"Big sister, don't look down on me!"

"Fine, fine! You can defeat Su Yang—go to sleep, you'll get everything in your dreams!" Liu Liu Mengying shoved her brother out the Woshi Sect door, "Get out, don't disturb Sister's rest!"

"Then why don't you leave!"
