Chapter 1423

When He Yingquan heard this, his whole body felt as if it had been struck by lightning!

He hurriedly blocked his father's path, his tone anxious, and even said somewhat incoherently: "Dad, that... that won't do, Dad! No matter what, we cannot refuse this cooperation with the Su family. This concerns the life and death of our entire family, Dad!"

He Hongsheng couldn't help but frown and shout: "Ridiculous! If I don't cooperate with his Su family, how does that concern the life and death of my He family? Cooperation has always been a matter of mutual consent since ancient times. Since I am unwilling to cooperate with him, can he force me?!"

He Yingquan was almost on the verge of a breakdown and blurted out: "Oh, Dad! Why are you so muddled!? What is the scale of the Su family? How could we possibly afford to provoke them? If we refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then once the Su family becomes our enemy in the future, how will we stand in the martial arts world?"

He Hongsheng immediately rebuked angrily: "He Yingquan! In your eyes, if my He family leaves the Su family, we can no longer stand in the martial arts world? Don't you forget, my He family is one of the four great martial arts families in the country! When my He family was ranked among the four great martial arts families, the Su family wasn't even a factor!"

He Yingquan did not expect his father's attitude to be so firm. He turned his head, gritted his teeth, glared at He Yingxiu, and said sternly: "Yingxiu! What kind of soul-stirring soup did you feed Father when you ran back? Do you know what a great opportunity is lying before us? If we miss such a good opportunity because of you, then you are a sinner of the He family!"

He Hongsheng could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Enough! Shut your mouth!"

He Yingquan was startled by his father's shout.

He Hongsheng looked at him with cold eyes and said with disappointment: "I never thought that I, He Hongsheng, could raise a son with such a soft spine! He Yingquan, the decision not to cooperate with the Su family is mine, and it will never be changed. If you say one more word, I will punish you with a month of confinement!"

He Yingquan suddenly felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

He knew that what he had missed was a huge sum of 2 billion a year.

This money could allow him to live the most luxurious life in this world.

Mansions, yachts, airplanes... with this money, none of these would be dreams anymore.

What was a villa in Sanya? With two billion, he could buy villas in Hong Kong, the United States, France, and Switzerland!

With two billion, he could buy a luxury cruise ship with everything one could want to travel around the world.

With two billion, he could buy a private jet and go wherever he wanted, 24 hours a day!

By then, why would he still need to guard a mere tiny Mochen!

By then, why would he still need to be stifled in this freezing, extremely cold place!

The pinnacle of life is nothing more than this!

However, this beautiful dream only lasted for one night, and before the rising sun of this morning had even fully emerged, it was completely shattered.

Seeing him looking as if he had lost his soul, He Hongsheng sighed with regret, then flicked his hand and said to He Yingxiu: "Yingxiu, follow me to see Su Anshun!"

He Yingxiu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Dad!"

He sighed lightly at this moment, looked at Su Zhiyu, and said with some disappointment: "Zhiyu, the two of us grew up together, our relationship has always been very good, and we even experienced life and death together in Japan. As your brother, I want what's best for you from the bottom of my heart. What do you have to hide from me?"

At this time, Su Anshun was leisurely eating breakfast in the He family's dining hall.

The He family had many people, and the dining area was very large; hundreds of people could dine in this hall at the same time.

Su Anshun was holding a bowl of coarse corn porridge, slurping it into his mouth while chewing the slightly hard corn grits with relish, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect that porridge made from this coarse grain hodgepodge would actually have a unique flavor."

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a meat bun the size of a fist. With one bite, his mouth was full of oil, and he also bit into the meat filling inside, which was larger than a ping-pong ball.

"Delicious, delicious!" Su Anshun looked very satisfied, and his mood was very pleasant.

Coming out this time, he had quickly and smoothly completed the task entrusted by the Master, helping the Master solve an urgent problem; it could be considered a successful start.

Therefore, it was natural for him to be in a good mood.

He was now just waiting for the motorcade to arrive to take all the He family members to Su Hang at once, at which point the Master would surely be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was thinking happily, He Hongsheng and He Yingxiu walked over quickly.

Su Anshun looked up and saw the two of them. He was immediately pleasantly surprised and said with a bit of flattery: "Oh, Elder He! Oh! Yingxiu is back too! This is truly great! The Master will be very happy that you were able to invite Yingxiu to come out of retirement!"

Su Anshun did not think much of the He family. In his eyes, the He family were just servants of the Su family, and servants who could only stand their ground by fighting and killing.

As for himself, although he was also a servant, he was at least the head of the servants.

In other words, among the many dogs kept by the Su family, he was the most prestigious one.

However, he held He Yingxiu in high regard because He Yingxiu was, after all, the woman of the Su family's eldest young master, Su Shoudao. Although she had no official status, she had at least given birth to a daughter for Su Shoudao, so he was naturally more polite to her.

More importantly, Su Shoudao's legal wife, Du Haiqing, had already made up her mind to divorce Su Shoudao, and after the car accident planned by the Old Master, she would definitely draw a clear line with the Su family. In this way, He Yingxiu could appear in the He family openly!

If Su Shoudao came back one day, there might even be a future with He Yingxiu.

It was precisely because of this that Su Anshun had a bit of fawning intent toward He Yingxiu.

When He Yingxiu saw Su Anshun, she greeted him with a lukewarm tone: "Hello, Steward Su."

Su Anshun smiled and said hurriedly: "Yingxiu, we haven't seen each other for some years."

He Yingxiu nodded: "Yes, it's been some years."

Su Anshun smiled: "I didn't expect that even you would come out of retirement this time. It's truly an unexpected surprise!"

He Hongsheng, who was on the side, said indifferently: "Anshun, please report to Elder Su after you go back that the He family cannot cooperate with the Su family this time. Please ask Elder Su to forgive us."

When Su Anshun heard this, he was dumbfounded and asked: "Elder He, what kind of act is this you're putting on?! The bus motorcade will be here soon!"

He Hongsheng handed the ten-billion-yuan check back to Su Anshun and said seriously: "I have already made it very clear just now. The He family cannot cooperate with the Su family this time, which means we will not go to Su Hang. So, please take this money back to Elder Su."

Su Anshun became anxious all of a sudden and blurted out: "Elder He, you cannot go back on your word! We have already agreed on this, how can you change your mind just like that?"

At this time, He Hongsheng's eldest son, He Yingquan, also sighed with regret: "Dad! Steward Su is right. Our He family has always kept our word and never gone back on it. We cannot go back on our word this time!"

He Hongsheng said coldly: "Yingquan, you don't need to rack your brains to incite me here. My mind is made up, and I will never change it!"

After saying that, he looked at Su Anshun, cupped his hands, and said: "Anshun, when the cars arrive in a while, please go back with them yourself. I am extremely sorry for this!"
