"Ugh..."
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words again, everyone present was stunned.
After a brief daze, Su Shiwei tilted his head high, looking down at Jiang Wuming like a giant dragon, completely disregarding Jiang Wuming's words.
Now, not only did he hold the position of general manager in the Su Corporation, but he was also almost certain to be the next helmsman of the Su family.
Furthermore, his son, Su Wu, was a five-star martial artist and served in the most powerful Dragon Country Martial Department!
All of this gave their family significant influence within the Su family!
He was confident that with just one word from him, he could make Jiang Wuming leave the Su family with his tail between his legs.
"Heh... Young people are truly full of spirit."
Su Shijie chuckled dismissively.
On the other hand, Su Shining continued to idly play with the jade bead in his hand, but he was growing more curious as to why Jiang Wuming dared to challenge Su Shiwei and Su Shijie!
Was it youthful arrogance?
He didn't sense that in Jiang Wuming. Instead, he felt a hint of disdain.
It was a disdain from the inside out!
At the same time, Liu Guifang subconsciously believed that Jiang Wuming was speaking out of anger for her and Su Shiyun.
Only Su Shiyun looked at Jiang Wuming thoughtfully.
At this moment, she remembered how Jiang Wuming had dealt with the Zheng family.
She even recalled Xing Tian's words from yesterday: To the boss, the Zheng family was nothing but a flock of common chickens, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist!
Just as the courtyard fell silent, a figure appeared at the courtyard entrance.
Su Wu.
Su Shiwei's son.
The pride of the younger generation of the Su family!
Su Wu was over 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy build, wearing a custom-made long robe that looked somewhat out of place.
Perhaps because he had become a five-star martial artist at such a young age and served in the Sujiang Martial Department, his face was filled with youthful vigor. He even walked into the Su family ancestral home with his head held high.
Hm?
With just one glance, Su Wu saw Jiang Wuming's family of three and was taken aback.
Although he knew about the family dinner tonight and that Su Yuanshan had helped Su Shiyun resolve her troubles, he hadn't expected Jiang Wuming's family to return to the Su family for tonight's dinner.
"Bastard, you still have the nerve to come back here?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Su Wu did not greet anyone. Instead, he stared at Jiang Wuming with a gloomy expression, showing no concealment of his hatred.
That's right...
It was hatred!
Twelve years ago, although Su Yuanshan didn't know why martial arts had flourished in just a few decades, he knew that the social status of martial artists was increasing.
For this reason, he decided to cultivate a martial artist among the third generation of the Su family and invited a powerful martial artist through connections to assess the aptitudes of the third-generation disciples of the Su family.
Jiang Wuming was not among them.
Ultimately, that martial artist chose Su Wu.
To cultivate Su Wu, Su Yuanshan paid a great price and obtained a Qi and Blood Pill, intending to give it to Su Wu. However, Su Shiyun secretly took it and gave it to Jiang Wuming.
Although Su Yuanshan had beaten Su Shiyun unconscious that year and expelled Jiang Wuming's family from the Su family, Su Wu had never been able to let go of the matter.
In his opinion, if he had been able to take that Qi and Blood Pill back then, improving his Qi and blood, and stimulating his body's potential, his starting point in martial arts would have been higher, and his achievements today would be even greater!
Given this, his heart was filled with hatred for Jiang Wuming, and he even hated Su Shiyun!
Swish, swish, swish...
As Su Wu's hateful words reached their ears, everyone, including Jiang Wuming, turned their gaze to Su Wu.
Among them, Su Li's face lit up with joy, and she immediately ran over.
"Brother, not only did this bastard shamelessly return, but he also insulted Dad, Mom, and me just now. Dad told him to get out, and he even threatened Dad and Third Uncle!"
Su Li, as if she had found a pillar of support, stared at Jiang Wuming with resentment as she reported Jiang Wuming's "crimes" to Su Wu.
"What?"
Su Wu was stunned again upon hearing this. Then, with his old grudges compounded by the new ones, he became enraged. He glared at Jiang Wuming and said, "Bastard, are you going to get out yourself, or should I throw you out?"
"Su Wu, don't mess around. Grandpa asked us to come back!"
Before Jiang Wuming could speak, Su Shiyun stepped forward, as she did when she was a child, blocking in front of Jiang Wuming.
"Su Shiyun, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you're already popping out? Get lost!"
Su Wu's footsteps did not stop. He hurled curses at Su Shiyun, as if he didn't put Su Yuanshan in his eyes at all.
Ever since he became a five-star martial artist and took up a position in the Sujiang Martial Department, his status in the Su family had skyrocketed, second only to Su Yuanshan and Su Shiwei.
"You..."
Su Shiyun's face changed. She hadn't expected Su Wu to become even more arrogant and overbearing after twelve years apart.
"Sis."
Jiang Wuming stepped forward and stopped Su Shiyun from speaking further.
Su Shiyun glanced at Jiang Wuming and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Su Wu, I'd like to see how you're going to throw me out."
Jiang Wuming narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wu, who was walking directly towards him.
If Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and the others were present, they would be able to understand one thing from this subtle action of Jiang Wuming's.
Jiang Wuming was angered!
Yes.
Jiang Wuming could overlook the ignorance of the Su family members out of respect for his adoptive father Su Shirong and Su Yuanshan, and for the kindness of the Su family raising him. However, he would not allow the Su family to bully Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun!
"Courting death!"
Su Wu heard this, and his anger intensified. With a cold snort,
He moved.
Under the setting sun, Su Wu's feet flickered, and his figure flashed, pouncing directly at Jiang Wuming.
Perhaps it was due to the intense hatred he held for Jiang Wuming, Su Wu wanted to teach Jiang Wuming a lesson immediately, pushing his speed to the limit.
Fast!
Whether it was the Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Su Shining families, or Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun, they could not see how Su Wu moved. They could only see a blur.
Slow.
In Jiang Wuming's eyes, Su Wu's speed was as slow as a turtle, like a slow-motion replay.
At this moment, he stood in place, unmoving, waiting for Su Wu to get close.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Su Wu subjectively believed that Jiang Wuming was scared silly. He sneered, raised his right hand, spread his fingers, formed a claw, and swiftly grabbed at Jiang Wuming.
"Su Wu, stop!"
Just as Su Wu was about to reach Jiang Wuming, a low shout was heard.
The voice belonged to Su Yuanshan.
Originally, Su Yuanshan had fallen asleep in bed after being treated by Jiang Wuming. Zhong Gang saw that Jiang Wuming was in conflict with the Su family and went into the room to wake Su Yuanshan.
Upon hearing Su Yuanshan's words, Su Wu's heart stirred, but his movement did not stop. He continued to grab at Jiang Wuming.
Even if Su Yuanshan tried to stop him, he still wanted to teach Jiang Wuming a lesson and throw him out!
He was confident that even if he did so, Su Yuanshan would not be able to do anything to him!
After all, he was the pride and future of the Su family!
And... Jiang Wuming was just an outsider bastard!
"Ah—"
The next moment.
Just as Su Wu was only one meter away from Jiang Wuming, he suddenly let out a terrified howl, and his body stopped. His entire body twitched uncontrollably, as if he had been electrocuted!
