"Old Master Liu, you shouldn't be here."
Subsequently, after Liu Shoucheng called Su Shiyun's maternal uncle to have the gatekeeper let them pass, Jiang Wuming spoke again, his words polite but his tone unquestionable.
"Alright."
Originally, Liu Shoucheng had wanted to use the opportunity of notifying Jiang Wuming and the other two about the news to talk with Jiang Wuming and see if there was any room for reconciliation.
At this moment, upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words, he knew that Jiang Wuming was determined not to give the Liu family any more chances. With a dejected expression, he nodded, then turned and left.
Hmm?
Two minutes later, on his way back to his residence, Liu Shoucheng saw people from the Su family and was stunned where he stood.
Because he recognized the person who had arrived. Da Feng Novel Network.
Su Yuanshan.
The helmsman of the Su family, and also Su Shiyun's grandfather!
Besides that, Liu Shoucheng noticed that Su Yuanshan looked much older than when he had last seen him nine years ago, and his body was also much thinner.
"It seems Su Yuanshan has already learned about Wuming destroying the Zheng family last night."
After his surprise, Liu Shoucheng made this judgment in his heart and then walked directly towards Su Yuanshan, "In-law, I didn't expect you to come personally!"
"What? Can't I come?"
Su Yuanshan stopped, looked at Liu Shoucheng expressionlessly, his words not hiding his displeasure towards Liu Shoucheng.
He had known for a long time about the Zheng family's revenge on the Liu family and the coercion of Su Shiyun to marry Zheng Fei. He was also fully aware of the Liu family's actions over the past period.
"In-law, what is this?" Liu Shoucheng was startled.
"Hmph!"
Su Yuanshan snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Liu Shoucheng, and slowly walked towards Su Shiyun's room, supported by a middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Liu Shoucheng's mouth gaped open. He wanted to say something but eventually gave up, watching Su Yuanshan leave.
Under the morning light, Su Yuanshan walked with some difficulty, his face slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.
"Director Su, why don't I carry you?"
The middle-aged man, seeing the sweat on Su Yuanshan's forehead, asked with some concern.
He was Su Yuanshan's driver and bodyguard. He knew that Su Yuanshan suffered from a serious illness, was very weak, and had even been hospitalized before arriving at Guishan yesterday.
"No, Gui Fang and the two children will laugh if they see me."
Su Yuanshan stopped, waved his hand, wiped his sweat, and after his heavy breathing stabilized, he continued to walk forward.
Five minutes later, Su Yuanshan, supported by the middle-aged man, arrived at the door of Su Shiyun's room.
Creak!
The door opened in response, and Jiang Wuming, Liu Guifang, and Su Shiyun appeared before Su Yuanshan.
At this moment, all three of them looked at Su Yuanshan without speaking.
"It seems you don't intend to let this old man in."
Seeing this, Su Yuanshan gave a bitter smile, then waved his hand to the middle-aged man beside him, "Zhong Gang, you may withdraw."
"Yes, Director Su."
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Jiang Wuming and the other two as if he wanted to say something, but finally left without a word.
"Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. Gui Fang, you've aged quite a bit, and Shiyun and Wuming, these two children have grown up."
Su Yuanshan's gaze swept across Jiang Wuming in turn, and he smiled again, "Shiyun is even more beautiful than in the photos. I haven't seen Wuming's photo, but he's grown into a fine young man."
"You... you still remember Mom, Brother, and me?"
Su Shiyun's eyes were slightly reddened, and she said with grievance and resentment.
The grievance was because, back then, she was treated as the Su family's little princess, cherished and protected by Su Yuanshan.
The resentment was because, eight years ago, she had stolen a very precious box of medicine for Jiang Wuming to take. As a result, not only was Su Yuanshan furious, but Su Yuanshan also drove their entire family out of the Su family.
Moreover, from then on, including Su Yuanshan, all the Su family members had ignored their family of three!
"Alas... Shiyun, my silly child, Grandpa has been thinking about the three of you every day, cough... cough..."
As Su Yuanshan spoke, he couldn't help but cough twice, and his breathing became heavy.
"Dad, please sit down and talk."
Although Liu Guifang also had grievances against Su Yuanshan and the Su family, she was a kind-hearted woman. Seeing Su Yuanshan coughing severely, she stepped forward to help him.
Jiang Wuming saw this but did not stop her. Instead, he looked at Su Yuanshan suspiciously.
He could tell that Su Yuanshan's health was not good, and he most likely had a lung disease.
In addition, he could clearly feel Su Yuanshan's genuine emotions just now, with self-blame, guilt, and joy.
That joy seemed to be due to seeing his family of three.
And his reason told him that the Dragon Country Military Department had suppressed the news from last night, so Su Yuanshan could not have known that he had destroyed the Zheng family.
Under such circumstances, Su Yuanshan, with his ailing body, coming here and showing genuine emotions upon seeing the three of them, made him feel that something was not quite right, and he was also curious about Su Yuanshan's intentions.
"Shiyun, the reason I've come to Guishan this time is because of the Zheng family forcing you to marry."
Then, under Jiang Wuming's suspicious gaze, Su Yuanshan sat on the sofa, looked at Su Shiyun with heartache, and dropped a bombshell.
"You've come for my matter?"
Su Shiyun was startled.
Yesterday, Liu Guifang had suggested calling Su Yuanshan for help, but Su Shiyun had rejected it.
This was because, in her opinion, Su Yuanshan and the Su family had ignored her and her mother for the past eight years. They would definitely not offend the Zheng family, who were backed by the person in charge of the Sujiang Military Department, to protect her!
"Yes, I arrived yesterday." Su Yuanshan nodded.
"But... but I didn't see you yesterday?" Su Shiyun said subconsciously.
"I planned to come and take you away this morning."
Su Yuanshan sighed softly and said, "To be precise, I was waiting for the Zheng family to come here this morning to cancel the engagement with you, and then I would take you away."
"Cancel the engagement?"
Su Shiyun was completely stunned. She hadn't heard about this matter from the Liu family or the Zheng family.
"Shiyun, I knew about the Zheng family's actions against the Liu family, and I found out immediately. I know your efforts to protect the Liu family's assets, and I also know that the Liu family not only failed to protect you but also used you as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Zheng family for their own benefit."
As Su Yuanshan spoke, his brow furrowed, and undisguised anger appeared in his eyes. "When I learned all this, I decided to take you and your mother away from the Liu family.
Of course, before that, I had to find a way to cancel your engagement with that scumbag from the Zheng family.
Your cousin Su Wu works in the Sujiang Military Department. I asked him to help me arrange a meeting with the person in charge of the Sujiang Military Department, Jiang Zhengyi. I gave Jiang Zhengyi a very powerful martial arts technique.
That technique was left by your father in his lifetime. I don't know its specific name, but he told me before he died that it was extremely valuable, a priceless treasure in the martial arts world!
When Jiang Zhengyi saw that technique, he was overjoyed and directly agreed to return to Guishan to persuade the Zheng family to cancel your engagement with that bastard from the Zheng family!
As a result, I received news in the middle of the night yesterday that Jiang Zhengyi was being investigated by the Jiangnan Branch of the Military Department, and the Zheng family was also implicated. Over a hundred people were taken away!
This news made me both surprised and pleased. I didn't expect the Zheng family to have an accident so suddenly, but I knew that since the Zheng family had an accident, your engagement would naturally not need to be fulfilled.
So, I decided to change my plan, not see you, and return directly to Sujiang..."
"Why?"
When Jiang Wuming heard this, his doubts intensified, and he couldn't help but interrupt Su Yuanshan.
"I... I dare not."
Su Yuanshan trembled all over and his eyes instantly filled with tears.
These three words had been suppressed in his heart for eight years!
