Chapter 768: Chapter 769 It Turns Out to Be His Man
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaoyue was somewhat stunned. Su Qingmiaoâs words had given her quite a shock. Could Su Qingmiao really be coming to help her? It seemed like she didnât have much of a relationship with him, and she was pretty much grasping at straws.
Seeing Cheng Xiaoyueâs expression, Sun Zilang misunderstood and scoffed, saying, "That kid Su Qingmiao wonât stick his neck out for someone irrelevant like you just because he knows Iâm here."
Li Quan also felt a sense of relief. He was just worried that Su Qingmiao would clash with Sun Zilang, in which case he would be the unluckiest one.
Qiao Bin was thinking along the same lines as Li Quan at the moment. He had only intended to curry favor with Sun Zilang and hadnât thought about getting involved in the strife between the Su and Sun families.
Cheng Xiaoyueâs mouth twitched as she said, "The Sixth Young Master said heâs on his way here now."
"What? Heâs coming?" Li Quan and Qiao Bin both exclaimed in disbelief.
Sun Zilang also froze for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. "I truly did not expect Su Qingmiao to take a stand for you. It seems the two of you have a not-so-shallow relationship."
Cheng Xiaoyue herself was a bit puzzled. Her relationship with Su Qingmiao surely wasnât that strong. She really didnât know why Su Qingmiao came so readily, and at this moment, she had no idea how to respond.
"Hey, Qiao Bin, whatâs her relationship with the Sixth Young Master Su?" Li Quan asked Qiao Bin with wide eyes.
Qiao Bin cracked a smile and said, "No idea. Her coming down to Minghe was all thanks to me. Just yesterday, we had a charity auction, and the Sixth Young Master was there for a while, but I didnât see him exchange a word with her."
"Then why would Su Qingmiao take a stand for her?" Sun Zilang asked, clearly annoyed.
"Oh, right, she knows a doctor, also from Tiannan. That doctor seems to have treated Su Qingmiao a while back. Just now, she called a deputy director from the Su Family Hospital, a girl named Lin Suâer. It must have been through that connection she reached the Sixth Young Master Su," Qiao Bin explained.
Sun Zilangâs face darkened as he said, "Thatâs quite a roundabout way."
"Stop right there!" Suddenly, the voice of Sun Zilangâs bodyguard came from outside the door.
Immediately after, Su Qingmiaoâs cursing could be heard: "Stop your mother! Get lost, Iâm here to find Sun Seven!" Everyone in the room was taken aback; Su Qingmiao had arrived incredibly fast, less than ten minutes after the phone call.
Right after, the door was pushed open and Su Qingmiao stormed in. The bodyguards at the doorway were holding each other back, clearly between those brought by Su Qingmiao and Sun Zilangâs.
"I say, Su Xiaoliu, did you get here on jet-propelled legs or something?" Sun Zilang remained seated, taunting without moving.
Su Qingmiao glanced at Cheng Xiaoyue, and seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Xiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward to meet Su Qingmiao and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sixth Young Master, for coming to help me."
"Thatâs what I should do!" Su Qingmiao slapped his chest and said, "Donât worry, with me here, Sun Seven wouldnât dare to lay a finger on you."
Cheng Xiaoyue felt somewhat elated. Just yesterday, she had witnessed Su Qingmiaoâs imposing presence, and how he completely disregarded the rich young masters like Qiao Bin. And now, for her, he had charged into this place so angrilyâit was genuinely surprising.
With a fierce look in his eyes, Su Qingmiao said, "Sun Seven, you really have some nerve, daring to touch a member of the Su Family."
"Your Su Family people? You say sheâs one of your Su Family? Are you mistaken?" Sun Zilang frowned. If what Su Qingmiao claimed was true, then it was indeed his mistake.
It was normal for the two families to skirmish covertly, but there were limits. Members of the families were off-limitsâunless they were just ordinary subordinates, who didnât really count as members of the Su Family. Only direct members, or family guards of the Su Family, were truly considered part of the Su Family.
Su Qingmiao glared and said, "Nonsense!"
Sun Zilang sneered and retorted, "Donât try to scare me here, Su Xiaoliu. As for the Su Family people, my Sun Family has full details on them. If she, Cheng Xiaoyue, is one of our people, unless sheâs your woman, eh Su Xiaoliu? But unless sheâs through the door, she doesnât count as a Su Family person. Whatâs wrong with me playing a bit?"
"Playing?" Su Qingmiaoâs face suddenly darkened as he said, "Sun Seven, you dare utter that, I can assure you, youâll die a miserable death."
Sun Zilang slammed the arm of the sofa and stood up furiously, glaring and shouting, "Damn it! Who the hell do you think youâre scaring, Su Xiaoliu! Am I, Sun Zilang, supposed to be afraid of you? Iâd like to see how youâre going to take her from here."
Su Qingmiao was equally unyielding, sneering as he said, "Iâm taking her away today, and if youâve got the guts, just try to stop us. I want to see how many heads youâve grown, Sun Seven!"
The bodyguards rushed in, aligning themselves next to each of the two men, staring menacingly at each other.
Li Quan and Qiao Bin were both scared out of their wits by now, realizing that they had stirred up a hornetâs nest, and that the situation was even more fierce than they had anticipated.
Cheng Xiaoyue was entirely dumbfounded by the extent of Su Qingmiaoâs support. Looking at the situation, she felt uneasy and quickly said, "Sixth Young Master, forget it. I havenât been harmed; letâs just leave."
"This... Well, okay then." Su Qingmiao agreed, but he clearly seemed somewhat unwilling, accepting Cheng Xiaoyueâs request with reluctance.
"I havenât said you can leave yet, and youâre already planning your exit? Thereâs no door for that," said Sun Zilang with a grim face.
"Damn it! Sun Seven, you really donât know when to appreciate whatâs given to you. Today, not even your father here would dare stop me, and here you are, as if looking for death at an untimely moment."
"What?" Sun Zilang, although enraged, was startled by this statementâa sign that Su Qingmiao must truly have substantial backup, implying that Cheng Xiaoyueâs status in the Su Family was genuinely high.
Wait... Sun Zilang suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying and asked anxiously, "Sheâs a Tiannan person, could she be Song... Song... âs person?"
Su Qingmiao sneered and said, "Sun Seven, youâre not completely stupid after all."
Sun Zilangâs face turned pale, sweat pouring down his forehead as he collapsed onto the sofa, legs giving out from under him.
