Su Wanwan initially didn’t want to go back, but because of Su Xueqin, she had no choice but to return.
That night she hailed a taxi. When she got off at the entrance, she didn’t notice a car coming behind her.
“Isn’t that Wanwan?”
In the car, the elder Mr. Xing, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at the sound.
“Why is she coming by taxi?” Huo Qinyu seemed to be talking to herself, “Didn’t she and Ashen get their marriage certificate? She could have at least arranged a driver…”
Two black Audis slowly drove into the gate, passed by Su Wanwan, and finally drove into the garage.
Su Wanwan glanced at them and then walked into the villa.
In the living room, Su Xueqin was sitting in a wheelchair reading a book. He was dressed more formally today, which made him look much better.
“Grandfather.”
When Su Xueqin saw his granddaughter, he smiled happily, “Wanwan is here.”
The study door opened quickly and a family of three came out one after the other.
When he saw Su Wanwan, Su Yuntang’s expression clearly changed, and he was very impatient. “Why are you back suddenly?”
Su Wanwan deliberately said, “Grandpa, I’ve said it before that some people don’t welcome me back to this house. Next time, I don’t think I’ll come back.”
Su Yuntang was instantly enraged, his face turned red, and he stared at her. “Nonsense, what are you saying!”
“Smack!”
Louder than his voice was the sound of Su Xueqin throwing his book down, “This is my house. Wanwan is here because I asked her to come. Anyone who has a problem with that can get the hell out!”
Known for his indiscreet remarks, this made Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan looked upset, while Su Wanwan laughed heartily. She found a spot near Su Xueqin, sat down, and watched the show.
Su Yuntang glared at her and said in a low voice, “Dad, the elders from the Xing family will be here soon…”
“If you care that much about losing face, then get out of here!”
“Dad…”
Before Su Yuntang could say anything more, a servant announced, “Sir, the Xing family has arrived.”
“Bring the guests in.”
At Su Xueqin’s command, Su Yuntang had no choice but to comply no matter how upset he was.
After Su Yuntang had left, Su Xueqin said quietly, “Don’t speak during the meeting. I’ll deal with this for you.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Su Yanyan at the side clenched her fists tightly, and then slowly let go.

Soon, the senior Mr. Xing was the first to step into the living room. He was dressed in a black cloak, leaning on a cane with a dragon head. Although he was almost 80 years old, he was tall with a piercing gaze. His tight facial features looked particularly stern.
Behind him in order were Mrs. Xing, Xing Guozhi and Huo Qinyu, while Xing Yuyun was at the end.
Su Wanwan glanced casually and noticed a band-aid on Xing Yuyun’s face stained with blood, as if he had been beaten.
When their eyes met, she immediately looked away.
If before, she thought he was Just a jerk who couldn’t control his lower body, now it seemed that he was a man who casually slept with female celebrities and even played a game of swapping bed partners with his friends…
Haha, indeed all men are swines!
After brief pleasantries, Elder Mr. Xing went straight to the point, “Today I specifically came to apologize to my in-laws. I’ve been living in the suburbs and didn’t realize that my unfilial grandson had done so many wrongdoings. He has hurt the feelings of the in-laws and tarnished the reputation of the Xing Family.”
With that, he turned to Xing Yuyun, “Yuyun, do you know where you went wrong?”
Xing Yuyun did not say anything.
Elder Mr. Xing’s face darkened, and he swung the cane in his hand and hit Xing Yuyun’s back with a “bang.”
It was so sudden that even Su Wanwan was taken aback.
Huo Qinyu was worried about her son and couldn’t help but intervene, “Dad, you already disciplined Yuyun this afternoon …”
“In the afternoon, I was executing family law. Now, I’m teaching him how to be a human being.” Elder Mr. Xing was stern. He then turned to Xing Yuyun, “Tell me, do you understand what you did wrong?”
Xing Yuyun remained silent, gritting his teeth. He was sweating coldly from the pain of the stick that had just landed on his forehead.
Su Wanwan didn’t have much contact with the Xing family. She only knew that the old Xing lord was a retired general from the army, and that he had delivered that blow with no restraint. Most people would struggle to endure it.
She looked over at Su Xueqin and saw him unfazed before-
With a “bang,” another cane came crashing down.
The crowd reacted in various ways, but no one dared to step forward and intervene.
The caning continued for over a dozen blows-
To the point where Xing Yuyun couldn’t help but grunt in pain-
“Enough.”
Finally, lady Xing could not bear it any more, “Any more and you’ll murder the man.”
“Heh,” Su Xueqin coldly snorted twice, “Young people nowadays can’t take a few hits. Just twenty blows and we’re talking about losing a life?”
Su Wanwan:”…”
The old lord Xing took the opportunity to withdraw his cane, catching his breath before announcing, “Today, here, I will make things clear on behalf of the Xing family.”
Under all the watchful eyes, Xing Guozhi presented a document.
“This is a property in the Sanluo Garden, consider it as a compensation to Wanwan.”
Su Wanwan was taken aback.
The others were also surprised.
Earlier this afternoon, Xing Yuyun had formally proposed to break the engagement with Su Yanyan to the seniors of the Xing family. This led to the old lord’s angry response of smashing a teapot on his face, bloodying his face…
And, now they came to the Su household not for Su Yanyan’s sake?
Just as Su Yanyan was about to lose her patience, the old lord spoke again, “On the 20th, our Xing family will hold a wedding ceremony for Yuyun and Yanyan. After that, Yanyan will be the legitimate daughter-in-law of our Xing family.”
After employing a bitter trick and making a generous sacrifice, the Xing family managed to save face with sincerity. Upon spotting this, Su Xueqin raised his eyebrows and became quiet.
So, when Huo Qinyu took his son to the guest room to check on his wounds, Jiang Yi and Lady Xing had already started discussing the details of the wedding. The living room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, as if the incident of corporal punishment had never happened.
Five minutes later, Su Wanwan found an excuse to go upstairs.
**
The bedroom had been tidied up really well by the servants.
Just as Su Wanwan was seated on the sofa and glancing at her social media feed, her phone rang. The call was from an unfamiliar local number.
“Hello?”
“Is this Wanwan? This is grandma.”
Holy cow, it’s actually Old Lady Huo!
“Hello, grandma.” Su Wanwan quickly replied in a sweet tone.
Old Lady Huo seemed very pleased, “Wanwan, are you free tomorrow?”
“What can I do for you, grandma?”
“I just called Ashen. He said it will take a few more days for him to finish his matters and come back. The villa in Imperial Court is too big. It’s not safe for you to live there alone.”
Old Lady Huo gave a bunch of reasons and finally asked, “How about coming back home for dinner tomorrow?”
“Ok..”
“Fantastic, I’ll send the driver to pick you up tomorrow morning. By the way, add me on WeChat, the number is this phone number.”
“… okay.” Su Wanwan thought to herself, ‘wow, the old lady is really trendy, she even uses WeChat.’
After hanging up, she saved the number in her contacts, then added it on WeChat.
Upon seeing her name, Su Wanwan almost burst into laughter. Old Lady Huo’s WeChat user was unexpectedly named “Fu Ying Girl Never Gives Up.”…
“Su Wanwan.”
The sudden voice instantly ruined Su Wanwan’s good mood.
She looked up, “I find it fascinating how thick some people’s skin can be.. Didn’t your mother ever teach you to knock before entering someone else’s
room?”
