211: Su Qingge made a domineering appearance, and the whole audience fell silent!
“He must love you very much~”
“He’s better at pleasing you~~”
“He won’t be childish like me~ making things difficult for you~~”
…Hearing these lyrics, which seemed tailor-made for him…Su Fan felt a pain that…could breathe…Pain!
It hurt too much!!!
Before he could recover from his grief, Mu Xiaowan’s struggling voice reached his ears.
“Junior, what are you doing? You’re hurting me.”
“S-Sorry! I didn’t mean to.”
Su Fan instinctively released his grip and apologized repeatedly.
Seeing Mu Xiaowan’s somewhat startled expression, a sense of guilt rose within him.
Yes, he had been away for so many years…wasn’t it normal for Xiaowan to be married with children now?
Could it be…that he expected her to foolishly wait for him her whole life?!
What right did he have to blame her? The one who was wrong was clearly him…The anger in Su Fan’s heart gradually dissipated, replaced by deep guilt.
He had, in fact, long anticipated this outcome.
After returning to the Demon Capital, he hadn't actively sought her out, precisely because he had prepared himself for never seeing her again in this life…Now, seeing Mu Xiaowan happy and healthy, with a fulfilling family, that was already enough.
He couldn’t possibly become a homewrecker and destroy the family she had worked so hard to build, could he?
Moreover, his goal in this life was to reach the peak of martial arts.
As for romantic love, it was no longer his pursuit…Su Fan thought a lot, then finally curved his lips, smiling with relief.
Just as he was about to let go of everything and offer his blessings to his former lover…a domineering yet familiar roar came:
“What are you two doing?!”
It was Huo Qichen returning from the restroom.
As soon as he exited, he saw a scene he couldn’t tolerate…his beloved plaything was actually talking to another man?!!
Huo Qichen’s face instantly darkened, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists, trying to control his emotions, and strode forward, forcefully grabbing Mu Xiaowan’s wrist and pulling her in front of him…“Bitch! How dare you take advantage of my absence to cross my bottom line and hook up with other men?! Are you really that desperate?”
“I promised you! As long as you’re obedient, you can always enjoy my personal affection. Such great kindness, and you still don’t know how to cherish it?”
“Woman, even if you are wild and uninhibited. Do you want my child to also learn from you and become a shameless harlot?”
“…”
Huo Qichen’s voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an irresistible authority.
He looked down at his plaything from his lofty position, with his nostrils flared, uttering his exclusive Overbearing CEO love declarations…“Your world can only contain me, no other man.”
“Your eyes can only see me, no shadow of any other man.”
“Your heart can only love me, no feelings for any other man.”
“Your life can only be lived for me, without your own thoughts and pursuits.”
“Your decisions can only be made by me; you cannot have your own choices.”
“Your words and actions can only conform to my expectations; you cannot have your own style and personality.”
“Your body can only be possessed by me; you cannot have any contact with other men.”
“Your future can only be planned by me; you cannot have your own plans and goals.”
“Your world can only have me, no other man can exist.”
“Your emotions can only belong to me, no one else can share them.”
“You are my plaything, my slave…”
“And I…am your master, your king, the god who dictates your life. You must rack your brains to please me, to serve me.”
“If I see you acting wild and uninhibited again, I will exterminate your entire clan!!!”
…Facing Huo Qichen, who was acting like a madman, Mu Xiaowan’s heart was ashen.
She felt that in this life, she might never be able to escape from this devil…But she still wanted to fight, wanted to struggle.
“Young Master Huo! You’ve gone too far! Although I am poor, I also have dignity. Please respect my personality.”
“Otherwise, even if you get my body, you will never get my heart.”
Mu Xiaowan tried to break free from the Overbearing CEO’s hand, but the difference in strength between male and female was too great, and she couldn’t move.
“Heh, you little thing. This is challenging my bottom line.”
Huo Qichen’s eyes grew even colder, making Mu Xiaowan shiver and feel a bone-chilling cold, not daring to speak further.
Seeing this.
The Overbearing CEO nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the adulterer.
It was him…that Su Family bodyguard?!
Huo Qichen immediately recognized Su Fan, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“If you don’t want to die, stay away from my woman from now on.”
“Otherwise, I will make the entire Huaxia bury you two.”
The Overbearing CEO’s voice was calm and firm, yet full of strong threatening implications.
He considered his status too high to conflict with a mere bodyguard, as it would seem too low-class.
So, he grabbed Mu Xiaowan’s arm, intending to leave…“Stop!”
Su Fan reacted, blocking Huo Qichen and Mu Xiaowan, his tone icy.
“Let her go.”
He never expected…that the child in Mu Xiaowan’s belly was actually Huo Qichen’s?
Even now, Su Fan’s mind still felt dizzy, somewhat unable to accept this fact.
But seeing that Mu Xiaowan was clearly not doing well, and seemed to have her personal freedom restricted, how could he stand by and do nothing?!!
All in all, he would rescue her first, then slowly ask Mu Xiaowan what was going on.
“Presumptuous! If you push your luck again, be careful, I’ll have your blood splattered five paces.”
Seeing Su Fan provoke him again and again.
Huo Qichen was furious and called out, “Uncle Zhou.”
Hearing his Young Master’s call, the old man beside him slowly raised his eyelids.
His cloudy eyes stared at Su Fan as if looking at a dead man, and a powerful killing intent enveloped the area.
He was Huo Qichen’s personal bodyguard, having helped him avoid many dangers.
“Last warning, get lost!”
“I know you have some ability. But Uncle Zhou is a powerful martial artist who has achieved minor Inner Strength, killing you is like slaughtering a dog.”
At this moment.
The old man named Uncle Zhou spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.
“Young man, don’t be too arrogant. You must learn to be patient.”
“Don’t touch women you shouldn’t touch, it will lead to death.”
What surprised Uncle Zhou was that in the face of his terrifying aura as a strong expert, an ordinary person would have long been scared pale and begged for mercy.
But Su Fan ignored it completely.
He even dared to continue flirting with the Young Madam in front of him, and Uncle Zhou’s face instantly darkened.
“Senior, are you being coerced? Don’t be afraid! As long as you nod, I’ll take you away immediately.”
Su Fan, from beginning to end, ignored the two noisy people beside him.
Instead, his gaze was gentle as he looked at Mu Xiaowan.
If she asked him for help, he would not hesitate to act.
“How dare you! No one has ever dared to provoke me like this to my face. Do you truly wish to die?”
Huo Qichen was furious, his chiseled face filled with boundless coldness.
But Su Fan ignored him and was about to step forward to play the hero.
“I’m taking her today, and I’d like to see who dares to stop me!!!”
“Uncle Zhou! I sentence him to death by dismemberment. Do it!”
Ah…here?!
Uncle Zhou hesitated.
He wasn't afraid of killing, but acting in broad daylight seemed a bit too rampant…Su Fan didn’t even bat an eyelid.
If it weren’t for the fact that tonight was the Su Family’s Celebration Banquet, he truly didn’t want to see blood here; he would have sent the master and servant to meet the King of Hell long ago.
At the critical moment!
“Enough! Junior! Huo Qichen is my husband.”
“My husband and I will make up after an argument. Please don’t meddle!”
Mu Xiaowan’s face turned cold as she scolded Su Fan to leave.
She knew very well the power of the Huo Family, which her junior could never provoke.
Mu Xiaowan didn’t want him to suffer retaliation from the Huo Family because of her, so she could only pretend to be cold and drive him away.
Sorry…Junior Su Fan…She silently apologized in her heart, then pulled the stunned Overbearing CEO away.
Heh heh, this woman…just called me her husband?!
Sure enough, no woman can escape my damned charm…Huo Qichen was engrossed in the recent address, and was silently pulled away like that.
Seeing this.
Uncle Zhou also decided to temporarily spare Su Fan’s life, gave him a deep look, and followed them away…And the commotion here had already attracted the attention of many guests.
When they saw that one of the parties in the conflict was the eldest Young Master Huo, they couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at Su Fan.
Fortunately, that young man was lucky enough to escape a disaster.
But who was that woman?
She was actually able to calm down that Overbearing CEO of the Huo Family?!
The guests present all watched the farce with playful eyes…Of course, Su Fan always did as he pleased, so why would he care about the pointing fingers of mere ants?
He watched Mu Xiaowan’s retreating figure, his expression grim.
Even though she had scolded him, he wasn’t a fool; he could see through the trick at a glance.
However, considering that today was the Su Family’s Celebration Banquet, Su Fan still temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.
He turned to Zhao Hu and the other person who had approached and instructed:
“Investigate! What exactly happened between Mu Xiaowan and that idiot?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Master Su, I will immediately order someone to investigate.”
Zhao Hu, who had witnessed the entire scene, wisely didn’t ask further, nodding profusely.
Beside him.
Han Xinqiao frowned, very curious about the relationship between Su Fan and that woman.
It was the first time she had seen another expression on Su Fan’s face.
Damn it!
What was so special about that woman?
Although she looked decent, she was far inferior to her, wasn't she?!
Just as the guests were discussing the small incident…“Hey! Look, Su Shengtian’s Granddaughter is on stage. Oh my goodness~~”
“Did she really wake up from her vegetative state?”
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to the main stage.
Click-clack~~
The sound of the wheelchair was particularly prominent in the quiet banquet hall.
Lin Xuan slowly pushed the wheelchair, his expression solemn and meticulous.
And Su Qingge, sitting in the wheelchair, attracted everyone’s attention.
Dressed in a dark black business suit, with exquisite makeup and her hair styled in an updo, she exuded capability and sharpness.
Her face always carried an unparalleled confidence and dominance, as if she were the center of the banquet, making it impossible for people to look away.
As she was pushed onto the stage, facing the dense crowd of guests below…Su Qingge did not speak.
She merely swept her gaze across the guests below with sharp, knife-like eyes that seemed to see through people’s inner thoughts.
That silent, cold aura made many people in the audience tremble with fear.
Under Su Qingge’s sharp gaze, the guests below all felt an invisible pressure.
They finally realized again…the woman in the wheelchair was once a legend in the business world, leading Su Corporation to glory with her wisdom and decisiveness.
However, an accident had left her in a vegetative state.
But today, she reappeared; the once cold and powerful woman had returned…Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the main stage, as if witnessing a miracle.
When Su Qingge became a vegetative person…no one thought she could wake up, and countless people lamented the passing of a legendary female CEO.
After all, the probability of a vegetative person waking up was too low, basically one in ten thousand.
Hearing that Su Shengtian had made one bad move after another, even resorting to feudal superstitious methods like ‘joy-inducing marriage,’ everyone privately held the mindset of watching a joke.
But who would have thought…finding someone for a ‘joy-inducing marriage’…actually woke her up…Once this news spread…it was expected that there would be a large number of cases of finding ‘joy-inducing partners’ for vegetative people…[I didn’t expect…].
[That I would have a day to represent the Su Family again.]
Su Qingge’s expression was cold, but her heart was filled with emotion.
At this moment, she was stern and unsmiling, knowing that she represented the Su Family’s reputation and had to be dignified.
Under her aura, no one dared to make any move.
Then Su Qingge controlled her head and gently nodded at Lin Xuan…Her recovery speed was getting faster and faster now; she could already control her head movements.
However, because she still couldn’t speak, the two of them discussed it and decided that Lin Xuan would temporarily act as her spokesperson.
“Good evening, distinguished guests.”
“First of all, I’m delighted that everyone could attend Su Corporation’s Celebration Banquet!”
“Because Qingge’s body is still recovering, I will temporarily speak on her behalf.”
“Now, I will take a moment of your time to announce two pieces of news…”
Lin Xuan stood in front of the microphone, smiling as he looked down at the guests below.
His words immediately caused murmuring among the crowd.
Everyone was very curious, discussing animatedly.
Below the stage.
Wang Fugui’s family was overjoyed, feeling that the Wang Family’s moment of glory was about to arrive.
Those two juniors of the Lin Family must have been overcome by conscience and were about to bow down and soften their stance towards their elders…“What news is that kid going to announce? Is he going to apologize to our Wang Family in public?”
“Does that even need to be said?! I’m 95% sure that this Celebration Banquet today is for…no, for repairing relations with Mom, isn’t it?!”
“Grandma, please don’t forgive them so quickly; you must give them a hard time!”
“Exactly! We need to let these two juniors know who’s boss, so they don’t ride roughshod over us in the future.”
“First, they have to serve us tea and apologize, bowing in front of everyone. And compensate us for our emotional distress!”
“Our relatives at the police station also need to be personally picked up and apologized to.”
…Listening to the joyful discussions of her children around her.
Su Yan, on the other hand, felt a sudden pang in her heart, an uneasy premonition.
Because when she had just made eye contact with her niece…the cold gaze her niece directed at her, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, was as if she were looking at a stranger…
