"No, no, Mr. Su, you can just call me Xiao Qin."

Qin Xuecheng was flattered and overwhelmed.

But when he saw Old Master Su's gaze fall on Ye An, his heart skipped a beat. He thought Old Master Su was disgusted by Ye An's shabby and rude manner, so he quickly tried to distance himself from the situation.

"Old Su, this kid is a madman, he has absolutely nothing to do with our Qin family!"

"Wang Tianlong's death was entirely his doing. We beg Elder Su to send someone to arrest him immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongchuan's face suddenly darkened.

Seeing this, Lin Hui thought Su Hongchuan was angry and screamed in fright:

"Ye An! You sinner, you jinx! Get out of here and die! Don't drag us down with you!"

"presumptuous!"

Su Hongchuan roared,

Then, he did something that made everyone's jaws drop.

He walked up to Ye An, the "murderer" who had just killed someone, bowing slightly and speaking with utmost respect.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry to have startled you. I, Su Hongchuan, am a step too late."

boom!

The entire banquet hall erupted in chaos!

benefactor?

The benefactor of the Su family?

Su Hongchuan actually addressed this poor young man as "Mr. Ye"? And he was so polite to him?

Qin Xuecheng felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He stared intently at the scene before him, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Lin Hui covered her mouth, her eyes wide open, almost bulging out of their sockets.

Qin Ruoxue trembled violently. She looked at Ye An, who was being treated with great respect by Su Hongchuan, and then at the stunningly beautiful Su Wanqing beside her. An absurd thought popped into her head uncontrollably.

Is it...

Su Wanqing looked at Ye An, a complex expression appearing on her pretty face.

Ye An nodded to Su Hongchuan in response.

This seemingly ordinary demeanor, however, stirred up a huge wave in the eyes of the Qin family.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lin Hui screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Old Su, you must have mistaken him for someone else! He's just an unemployed bum, a poor young man who just came from the countryside. How could he... how could he possibly be your benefactor?"

She wanted to continue speaking, but Qin Xuecheng grabbed her tightly from beside her.

Qin Xuecheng was trembling all over, and cold sweat had soaked through the back of his shirt.

Unlike Lin Hui, who was incredibly stupid, he could see clearly that Su Hongchuan wasn't there to interrogate Ye An; he was there to support him!

Just now... I actually wanted Elder Su to take down Ye An?

It's over! The Qin family has really messed up this time!

No, there's still a chance!

In a flash, an idea struck Qin Xuecheng. He turned around abruptly, grabbed his daughter Qin Ruoxue, who was still in a daze behind him, and practically shoved her to Ye An.

"Ruoxue, hurry! Quickly meet your fiancé!"

Without saying a word, he grabbed Qin Ruoxue's hand and forcefully shoved it into Ye An's hand.

"Misunderstanding! Mr. Su, Mr. Ye, this is all a huge misunderstanding!" Qin Xuecheng forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, his back bent so low it seemed about to break. "Mr. Ye is our Qin family's son-in-law, Ruoxue's fiancé! We're all family!"

These words caused another uproar among the surrounding crowd.

What?

This young man is actually the Qin family's betrothed? And not Wang Tianlong?

Qin Ruoxue's body stiffened.

Looking at her father's obsequious face and then at her screaming mother beside her, she felt an unprecedented wave of disgust and disappointment wash over her.

So this is my value.

Whether it's a good-for-nothing she looked down on before or a high-ranking man she can't climb up to now, as long as it's beneficial to the family, she has to marry him.

She was merely a tool, a commodity that could be traded at any time.

My eyes welled up with tears that welled up uncontrollably.

Just then, the hand that was holding her gently released its grip.

Ye An withdrew her hand, her expression completely calm, and simply looked at Qin Xuecheng: "Fiancé? Mr. Qin is too kind. I am not worthy of such an honor."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Qin Ruoxue, his voice remaining calm:

"Moreover, Miss Qin doesn't seem to have this intention either. I think we should just call off this engagement."

Qin Ruoxue was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at her hands, then looked up at Ye An.

From childhood to adulthood, every man around her has tried his best to please her and get close to her.

But this person just casually... let go of her hand?

She saw no contempt or disgust in Ye An's eyes.

That's something even more hurtful.

It is cold, it is indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing stepped forward and stopped in front of Ye An.

"Ye An".

She called softly, a hint of tenderness creeping into her cool voice, "Thank you for saving me last time. Now that your engagement has been called off, then..."

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a tremendous decision, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and continued:

"Would you... be willing to consider me? Being with me won't let you down."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Xuecheng and Lin Hui, who were standing to the side, were even more stunned and could hardly believe their ears.

They never expected that Jiangcheng's number one goddess, who was usually aloof and arrogant and ruled a multi-billion dollar empire, would actually take the initiative to confess her feelings to Ye An!

This is a woman that countless wealthy young men would find impossible to even meet!

A pleased smile spread across Su Hongchuan's face, and he excitedly exclaimed, "Excellent! Wanqing is right!"

The old man looked at Ye An, his expression solemn and eager:

"Mr. Ye, although my Su family would not dare to say that we are the richest in the world, we do have some influence in Jiangnan Province. Wanqing is my most beloved granddaughter, and today I entrust her to you."

"From now on, you are the grandson-in-law of the Su family! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on you is going against me, Su Hongchuan, and the entire Su family!"

Su Hongchuan then turned around, his gaze sweeping over Wang Tianlong on the ground before finally settling on the few trembling Wang family followers.

His face was no longer amiable; instead, it bore the sternness and coldness of someone who had long held a high position.

"Go back and tell your master that Wang Tianlong was killed by my Su family. If he has the guts to take revenge, I, Su Hongchuan, am ready to fight him anytime."

"However, I doubt he'll have that chance."

Su Hongchuan snorted coldly, his voice echoing throughout the entire venue.

"Starting today, the Su family will completely blacklist the Wang Group, and all banks will withdraw their loans. Within three days, I will ensure the Wang family is utterly wiped out of Jiangcheng!"

"Now, take that brat's corpse and get out of here!"

Swift and decisive!

Those few Wang family followers didn't dare to utter a single word of dissent. They scrambled to carry Wang Tianlong's corpse and fled the banquet hall in a panic.
