At this moment, not only Su Li, but also Su Shiwei, Xia Hong, Su Wu, and even the Su Shijie couple, looked at Su Shiyun with mockery.
Because they all believed Su Shiwei's judgment—Su Shiyun had sold herself and profited from the stock market for the Li family, thus obtaining the cooperation opportunity with Longteng Pharmaceutical!
Who was Su Shiyun's backer?
Su Yuanshan and the couple Su Shiyun's parents looked at her with curiosity.
They didn't know how Su Shiyun had extricated the Su Group from its predicament, but they all understood that someone must have been helping her. Hearing Su Li's words, they were all eager to know the answer.
"Chu Xiong Real Estate Company, CEO Chu is here!"
Immediately, before Su Shiyun could respond, Su Le's voice announced from outside the door again.
Although he was unlearned and a notorious prodigal son in Sujiang, he was very familiar with the important figures in Sujiang, remembered their appearances, and could even recite their rise to fame by heart.
He was guarding the courtyard today, not only to avoid being lectured by the Su family elders but also to use his minor advantage to serve—he announced whenever a guest arrived!
Swish, swish, swish...
Upon hearing Su Le's announcement, the faces of the Su family members changed again.
Unlike the guests who had come to celebrate his birthday earlier, Chu Xiong was a true magnate in Sujiang.
Chu Xiong Real Estate Company, named after Chu Xiong, had ridden the wave of Longguo's real estate development, expanding aggressively in a snowballing fashion. It was now the largest private real estate company in Sujiang, having developed numerous residential projects and shopping malls.
Chu Xiong himself had an asset worth tens of billions, and was once hailed as the richest man in Sujiang.
Of course, this was on the surface.
Like many well-known richest people in Longguo, they were nothing compared to the 'richest people' in the shadows. Their resources and influence were incomparable.
However—
Even so, Chu Xiong's arrival stunned the Su family!
After all, Chu Xiong had almost no connection with the Su family. Even during the Su family's peak, Chu Xiong might not have deigned to visit them even if Su Yuanshan had invited him!
"CEO Chu, it's a great honor to have you grace us with your presence. We apologize for not welcoming you from afar!"
While the Su family was still in shock, Su Shiwei stepped forward, his face beaming with a smile.
"CEO Su, long time no see."
Chu Xiong responded indifferently, then turned his gaze towards the living room.
His eyes first fell on Su Yuanshan, and then on Su Shiyun.
"CEO Chu..."
Su Shiwei spoke again, extending his hand as if to shake Chu Xiong's hand.
However—
This time, before Su Shiwei could finish speaking, Chu Xiong, without shaking Su Shiwei's hand, walked directly into the living room.
This caused the smile on Su Shiwei's face to freeze, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand, following Chu Xiong into the house.
"Elder Su, may your fortune be as vast as the East Sea and your life as enduring as the Southern Mountains!"
As Chu Xiong entered the living room, he first offered his birthday wishes to Su Yuanshan, "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Elder Su."
"CEO Chu, you are too kind. Thank you, please be seated!"
Su Yuanshan stood up happily, gesturing with a smile, and was somewhat curious. Even if the Su family had the Li family's support, Chu Xiong wouldn't need to be so polite, would he?
Not only Su Yuanshan, but Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Su Shiyun, and Su Wu were all perplexed.
As if to clear everyone's doubts, after handing the gift to Zhong Gang, Chu Xiong did not immediately take his seat. Instead, he walked directly to Su Shiyun.
"Miss Su is not only beautiful and elegant, but also possesses outstanding business acumen. She can be considered a leading figure among the younger generation in the business world of Sujiang and even the entire Jiangnan region. I am deeply honored to meet you today!"
Then, under everyone's gaze, Chu Xiong cupped his hands towards Su Shiyun, bowed slightly, and spoke astonishing words.
"Uh..."
Hearing Chu Xiong's words, and seeing his gesture of cupping his hands and bowing, whether it was Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Su Shiyun's families, or Su Yuanshan, they were all stunned. They widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief!
Because they could clearly feel Chu Xiong's respect for Su Shiyun!
That respect was something Su Yuanshan himself had not even received—Chu Xiong had not cupped his hands, bowed, or uttered words like "deeply honored" when offering his birthday wishes.
Not only them, but even Huang Yu was bewildered!
Because from what that young master had said, he only knew that the Su family would be impressive in the future, but he didn't know that Su Shiyun would be impressive!
Su Shiyun was also confused. She didn't know why Chu Xiong was so polite, even flattering and respectful towards her.
"CEO Su, I have had some cooperation with Qiao Tianba. He mainly assisted me in solving some minor problems in real estate development, but we don't have a deep relationship, nor do I get involved in his affairs."
While Su Yuanshan and the others were confused, Chu Xiong spoke, stating the purpose of his visit today.
To distance himself from Qiao Tianba.
More deeply, to prove that he was not involved in Qiao Tianba's actions against the Su family!
Because he knew that Qiao Tianba and Qiao Lin, father and son, had died in Sujiang.
Even among the deceased was a martial arts grandmaster from the Liu family, the foremost martial arts family in Jiangnan!
More importantly, after Liu Yidao, Qiao Tianba, and Qiao Lin died, the Su family remained unharmed!
What did this mean?
Chu Xiong could figure it out with his toes—the Su family had an existence behind them capable of killing a martial arts grandmaster, and they were not afraid of the foremost martial arts family in Jiangnan, the Liu family, or the powerful backer behind Qiao Tianba!
And all of this happened after Su Shiyun returned to the Su family!
In addition, Su Shiyun had resolved the Su family's problems in an incredible manner, and had even made Yan Xin, the general manager of Longteng Pharmaceutical's Jiangnan branch, proactively deliver a contract.
All these signs made him realize that Su Shiyun had an extremely powerful presence behind her!
Although he had not participated in the Qiao family's actions against the Su family, he had a good relationship with Qiao Tianba and Wu Guang, and even had mutual interests—Qiao Tianba had helped Chu Xiong solve problems many times.
Under such circumstances, Chu Xiong worried that Su Shiyun might misunderstand that he had participated in the Qiao family's actions against the Su family. Therefore, he came to the door proactively, using the opportunity of celebrating Su Yuanshan's birthday, to clarify everything to Su Shiyun in person!
At this moment, after clarifying the actual situation to Su Shiyun, he felt even more worried, and it even showed on his face. He looked like a prisoner receiving the judge's final verdict—Su Shiyun's words could decide his fate!
If Su Shiyun believed that he had participated in the actions against the Su family along with Qiao Tianba, then his end would be tragic.
He firmly believed this!
"CEO Chu, you worry too much."
Upon hearing Chu Xiong mention Qiao Tianba, and seeing Jiang Wuming beside her out of the corner of her eye, Su Shiyun suddenly understood and judged Chu Xiong's intentions, and responded.
Reason told her that Chu Xiong should not be involved in the events of a few days ago, otherwise Jiang Wuming would definitely not let Chu Xiong off!
"Thank you, Miss Su!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiong immediately felt as if a great burden had been lifted, and felt that Su Shiyun's words were the most pleasant sound he had ever heard in his life!
At the same time, whether it was Su Shiwei and the others, or Su Yuanshan, or even Huang Yu, they all looked at Su Shiyun with dumbfounded expressions, like lifelike stone sculptures.
Not only had they heard Chu Xiong's words, but they had also sensed the emotional changes in Chu Xiong before and after speaking those words.
At this moment, their minds were filled with two questions.
What was Su Shiyun's relationship with Qiao Tianba?
Why was Chu Xiong clarifying his relationship with Qiao Tianba to Su Shiyun?
There was no answer.
Su Shiyun secretly glanced at Jiang Wuming and found him sitting there calmly, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
But she knew that Jiang Wuming's show was about to begin!
