Li Xiao arrived outside the reception room while Su Ziyu, Wei Kaiqin, and Feng Xindong were still engaged in their verbal sparring. He didn't rush in.
Yang Ziye didn't urge him, fully aware that his father intended to use this opportunity to secretly assess his sister-in-law's capabilities.
Even though Su Ziyu had already received double commendation from Yang Xiao and Li Wujiang, Li Xiao still needed to evaluate her handling skills beforehand.
If Su Ziyu's abilities didn't satisfy him, no matter how much she was favored by the Empress Dowager and others, Li Xiao would resolutely refuse her entry into Longxu!
If the future mistress of Longxu possessed only beauty without ability, she would bring catastrophic disaster to Longxu.
Li Xiao dared not be careless regarding the future prospects of Longxu.
The preliminary assessment of Su Ziyu's abilities was also one of the main reasons Li Xiao, under the guise of taking Baiwei (Shen Piaomiao) to Lingnan, quietly came to Qingyun.
While outside the door, Li Xiao heard Su Ziyu's arguments with Wei Kaiqin and others and was quite pleased.
Now, he intended to further test Su Ziyu by using Wei Kaiqin's moment of pleading for mercy.
Su Ziyu's heart skipped a beat.
This was because she suddenly realized why her father-in-law was asking for her opinion.
"At this moment, I absolutely cannot be modest and say everything is up to my father-in-law. Otherwise, I will disappoint him."
Su Ziyu's mind raced.
On the surface, however, she remained composed: "Dad, I will state my proposed solution."
"Good."
Li Xiao nodded, encouraging her, "Say whatever you want to say. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing."
"Thank you, Dad."
After thanking him, Su Ziyu looked at Wei Kaiqin, "Mr. Wei, if you want Hongye Information to cease its suppression of the Wei family, you must agree to my three conditions."
"Please, proceed."
Wei Kaiqin knew very well that the fate of the Wei family rested entirely in Su Ziyu's hands at this moment. He was exceedingly respectful towards her.
"One, the Wei family, and any related enterprises or individuals, must not harbor these two people."
The two people Su Ziyu referred to were Hai Shenfu and He Shenming. "Because they were personally dismissed by President Ding of Hongye Information. If the Wei family, or related enterprises or individuals, harbor them, it would be slapping President Ding in the face."
He Zhuguan and the other man's expressions changed drastically.
The reason they were here tonight, besides their hatred for Old Su ruining their livelihoods, was because they had both been invited by Wei Kaiqin to join Wei family enterprises and fight to the death against Wei Jinfeng and Old Su!
Who could have imagined that just as they were on the verge of victory, the legendary Dragon Lord Li would descend from the heavens!?
Su Ziyu even made the act of cutting off their future employment with the Wei family a condition for forgiving the Wei family.
Anyone in their position would be furious!
But what use was it?
If they dared to utter a word, Feng Xindong, whom they considered a great figure, was a prime example for them.
"Alright, I agree!"
Wei Kaiqin agreed to Su Ziyu's first condition without any hesitation.
As long as the Wei family's interests were protected—
Who the hell cared about the fate of two stray dogs!?
"The second condition."
Su Ziyu continued slowly, "My husband, Mr. Li Qianfan, finds the location of Jinfeng Fashion to be excellent. He wishes to acquire Ziyu Fashion at one-third of its original price."
Jinfeng Fashion, valued at a full fifty million, had to be sold to Ziyu Fashion for approximately 17 million.
This was tantamount to outright robbery.
Yet, Wei Kaiqin nodded vigorously without a second thought, "No problem."
Let alone one-third the price, even if Su Ziyu arbitrarily demanded it, Wei Kaiqin would have agreed.
Because he knew very well that this was the price Wei Jinfeng had to pay for "causing trouble"!
"The last condition."
Su Ziyu looked at Wei Jinfeng and said coldly, "From now on, Wei Jinfeng must not appear within the sight of my parents. Nor are you to discuss those matters from decades ago with anyone. If it reaches my ears, I will make the Wei family pay the most painful price."
Before Wei Kaiqin could respond—
Wei Jinfeng, whose legs were trembling, hastily nodded vigorously, "Dean Su! Please rest assured, I will never bother your mother again. Nor will I dare to slander your father behind his back."
"Remember what you said tonight."
Su Ziyu glanced at him again, took a step back, and bowed to Li Xiao, "Dad. Do you think my handling of this is acceptable?"
Li Xiao smiled and lit another cigarette.
Bang!
Su Ziyu's heart pounded violently.
Li Xiao's attitude clearly indicated his dissatisfaction with her handling of the situation.
Old Su and Ning Xiaolan instantly realized something was amiss, their faces changing drastically.
The Wei father and son were even more terrified.
If Li Xiao was dissatisfied with Su Ziyu's proposed solution, it meant the Wei family would suffer immense losses!
Yang Ziye quickly chimed in, "Dad, I think sister-in-law's three conditions cover all aspects."
She was quite satisfied with Ziyu, her sister-in-law. Especially now that Grandmother had announced Ziyu would go to Longxu, she really didn't want her father to disagree.
If that happened—
It would be a devastating blow to Su Ziyu!
Hearing Ziye's kind words, Su Ziyu cast a grateful glance at her.
Li Xiao, however, ignored Ziye.
He simply looked at Su Ziyu, "Ziyu. From the moment we met, you must remember this."
Su Ziyu listened intently.
Li Xiao said in a gentle tone, "You are no longer the dean of Qianfan Hospital, nor are you simply Su family's daughter. You are the future mistress of Longxu!"
I am the future mistress of Longxu?
Su Ziyu had an epiphany, her eyes beginning to shine.
Li Xiao wasn't dissatisfied with her handling of the situation.
Instead, he was reminding her: "No matter who it is, if they dare to offend the future mistress of Longxu, they must pay the most painful price! Otherwise, people will not respect you and will always cause trouble for you."
"Of course, Ziye is right. Your handling of the situation has, for the most part, been comprehensive."
Li Xiao patiently taught her, "What you lack is simply not having fully embraced your role as the future mistress of Longxu."
Su Ziyu finally understood and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Father, for your guidance. Ziyu will surely bear it in mind."
Li Xiao then smiled and said, "You are very good. I am very satisfied."
Upon hearing him say this—
The hearts of Old Su and his wife, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled with a thud!
"This Jinfeng Fashion, transfer it to Ziyu Fashion for one yuan."
Li Xiao looked at Wei Kaiqin and asked calmly, "Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Wei Kaiqin shook his head vigorously and replied loudly.
"You two, get out of Qingyun tonight."
Li Xiao looked at Hai Jufu and the other man and said in a gentle tone.
These two small fry were not worthy of Li Longzhu's special "attention."
Hai Jufu and the other man hastily nodded, stood up, and left.
"Chendong."
Li Xiao also stood up and instructed Chendong, "Pull out all of Wei Jinfeng's teeth and break one of his arms."
Huh?
Wei Jinfeng was stunned.
Even Old Su's jaw twitched violently.
Chendong, however, shouted, "Yes!"
Li Xiao asked Wei Kaiqin, whose expression had drastically changed, "What, you are unwilling?"
Wei Kaiqin, mustering his courage, said, "Dragon Lord Li, my son has not actually done anything."
Done what?
Before he could finish, Li Xiao instructed Chendong again, "Break both of his arms."
Wei Kaiqin—
Li Xiao, still smiling placidly, asked him, "Do you have any other objections?"
Yes!
Did Wei Kaiqin dare to say it!?
If he dared, Wei Jinfeng might have to break another leg!!
He hastily shook his head, indicating he absolutely had no objections.
Chendong immediately pounced and dragged the terrified Wei Jinfeng, who was on the verge of paralysis, out.
Screams soon followed—
"In-laws, let's go."
Having set an example for the future mistress of Longxu on this occasion, Li Xiao then linked arms with Old Su and slowly walked towards the door. "Ziyu, find me the best hotel. I want to have a good drink with my in-laws. Oh, right. Call your company's Deputy General Manager Dai, Dai Paipai, as well."
"Alright, I'll call Deputy General Manager Dai right away."
Su Ziyu agreed and took out her phone.
The group then casually left Jinfeng Fashion.
Wei Kaiqin saw them to the door before quickly returning to the reception room.
Looking at Feng Xindong, who had a broken leg, and Wei Jinfeng, who had broken hands and missing teeth, Wei Kaiqin sighed to the sky.
He then said to Feng Xindong, "Mr. Feng, please bear with it for now. I will send you to the hospital immediately."
"No! No need."
Feng Xindong, his face deathly pale, said in a hoarse voice, "Find an ambulance. I need to return to Tianbei tonight, tonight."
"Okay."
Wei Kaiqin then asked, "Will the Feng family retaliate against Dragon Lord Li's overbearing behavior? If."
"If my ass!"
Feng Xindong hurriedly interrupted him, "Wei Kaiqin, remember! My leg was broken when I accidentally fell down the stairs. It has nothing to do with anyone!"
Wei Kaiqin was dumbfounded.
A flood of regret washed over him.
The future heir of the Feng family in Tianbei, one of the top noble families in the East, after having his leg broken by Li Xiao's unreasonable actions, not only dared not retaliate but even dared not tell anyone how his leg was broken.
This illustrated the terror of Longxu.
And the Wei family, who had achieved some minor fame in Qingyun, dared to oppose the future mistress of Longxu.
How much courage had they swallowed to do such a thing!?
Seven-thirty in the evening.
Dai Paipai, who was admiring her beauty in the mirror in her room, heard her phone buzzing.
She blinked, emerging from her self-absorption, and picked up her phone, "Ziyu."
Su Ziyu got straight to the point, "Paipai, come to Tan Family Private Kitchen alone."
"Okay, I'll be there immediately."
Dai Paipai casually asked, "Is something wrong?"
Su Ziyu said in a low voice, "Qianfan's father, Mr. Li Xiao, the Lord of Longxu, wants to meet you personally."
