After returning home, Qin Yang finally got to eat. He had to admit, the Su family’s cook was much better than the one at the Qin family. Qin Yang feasted without holding back.
While he was enjoying his meal, Su Zhonghai walked in with a gloomy face. When he saw Qin Yang, his expression changed. He said coldly, “Who allowed you to stay in my house?”
“Where’s your wife?” Qin Yang asked with a grin.
Su Zhonghai’s face darkened immediately. His wife had cheated on him, and the son he had raised for so many years turned out not to be his. For Su Zhonghai, this was a humiliation of the highest degree. Now, Qin Yang bringing it up deliberately made Su Zhonghai furious.
“Shut up,” Su Zhonghai roared.
“Someone, throw him out,” Su Zhonghai ordered coldly.
But the entire Su family remained silent. The guards had heard the order but chose to ignore it. Su Zhonghai’s face turned pale with anger.
Su Nuanyue, who was sitting off to the side, said calmly, “Dad, I’m the one in charge of the Su family now. No one will follow your orders. Trying to kick my man out? You’re being a bit too naïve.”
Su Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said coldly, “He’s already been expelled by the Qin family, and because of him, the whole Qin family is in chaos. He’s an ominous person. Do you really want our Su family to end up like that?”
“The Qin family’s mess is their own doing. It has nothing to do with the Su family,” Su Nuanyue said indifferently.
“But he’s no longer the Qin family’s young master. There’s no need for your engagement to continue. I want you to cancel the marriage agreement,” Su Zhonghai said through clenched teeth.
“Are you finished?” Qin Yang suddenly asked.
Before Su Zhonghai could respond, Qin Yang stood up and slapped him hard across the face.
Bang.
Su Zhonghai fell to the ground and fainted.
Seeing Su Nuanyue’s stunned face, Qin Yang sighed, “Your dad’s sleep quality is impressive. He’s out like a light.”
Su Nuanyue rolled her eyes, half amused and half exasperated. This guy really didn’t know how to hold back.
“Relax. I have control over it. Don’t forget, I know medicine. He’s just unconscious, nothing serious,” Qin Yang said. At most, his face would stay swollen for a few days, Qin Yang thought inwardly.
“Good,” Su Nuanyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Checking the time, she stood up and said, “Today has been exhausting. I’m going to rest. You should too.”
Although it was still early evening, the day’s events had drained Su Nuanyue. She needed rest for tomorrow’s business negotiations.
“Okay,” Qin Yang nodded.
As for Su Zhonghai, he just lay there. Since Su Nuanyue hadn’t spoken, no one dared move him.
Du Li smiled slightly. She noticed that after spending more time with Qin Yang, Su Nuanyue’s methods had become sharper. To Du Li, this was a good thing. Previously, Su Nuanyue was ruthless to outsiders but too tolerant toward family. Now, she had the right balance.
Su Zhonghai remained unconscious until two or three in the morning. When he finally woke up, he was confused. He touched his swollen face and looked around, realizing what had happened.
He had been beaten unconscious and left there for hours without anyone caring. The thought made him want to kill someone.
“It’s all that Qin Yang’s fault. If not for him, my daughter wouldn’t be like this. She used to be distant, but she would never have treated me like this. I must drive that jinx out of this house,” Su Zhonghai growled.
He was confident he could deal with a backgroundless junior, even if Su Nuanyue tried to protect him.
Su Zhonghai left the villa. He didn’t live there regularly and had his own place. He called his assistant, who quickly drove over.
When the assistant saw Su Zhonghai’s swollen face, he was shocked. “Mr. Su, what happened to you?”
Su Zhonghai gritted his teeth. “It’s that bastard from the Qin family, Qin Yang. Now even Nuanyue listens only to him. I must teach him a lesson.”
“Shall we contact Ye Longfei? If he steps in, Qin Yang will be nothing to worry about,” the assistant suggested.
Su Zhonghai’s eyes lit up. He nodded. “Get in touch with Ye Longfei. Tell him I’ll pay five million to cripple that brat.”
“Yes, sir,” the assistant replied.
Su Zhonghai sneered. With Ye Longfei involved, he didn’t believe Qin Yang could get away unscathed. The thought made him smirk, but he winced immediately—his swollen face hurt when he smiled.
“Don’t take me home. Send me to the hospital first,” Su Zhonghai said, cursing Qin Yang in his heart for hitting so hard.
Still, thinking about Ye Longfei dealing with Qin Yang, Su Zhonghai felt much better.
Ye Longfei was still furious over the earlier incident, especially at those subordinates who pretended loyalty but disobeyed his rules.
At that moment, the assistant’s call came through.
“Assistant Lin, what’s the matter?” Ye Longfei said flatly.
His tone showed no particular respect. After all, the caller was just an assistant to Su Nuanyue’s useless father. If it had been Du Li, his tone would have been different—Du Li was not just Su Nuanyue’s assistant but also Qin Yang’s woman, deserving proper respect.
“Mr. Ye, our Mr. Su is offering five million to hire you for a job,” Assistant Lin said with a smile.
Five million? That was no small amount. Ye Longfei became interested and asked, “Who do you want me to deal with?”
“That bastard Qin Yang from the Qin family. Mr. Su is unhappy with him and wants to see him crippled,” Assistant Lin said.
“Who?” Ye Longfei thought he had misheard.
“Qin Yang,” Assistant Lin repeated.
Ye Longfei paused before saying, “He’s not easy. Five million isn’t enough. Add more.”
Assistant Lin was stunned. Five million wasn’t enough? Still, he relayed the message to Su Zhonghai.
Su Zhonghai sneered. “He’s just trying to raise the price. Tell him I’ll give ten million. Let him cripple Qin Yang.”
Assistant Lin relayed the updated offer.
“Alright, transfer the money,” Ye Longfei said.
Assistant Lin wasn’t worried about Ye Longfei reneging. In their line of work, reputation was everything. If Ye Longfei didn’t honor a deal, no one would hire him again.
Soon, ten million was transferred.
Looking at the account balance, Ye Longfei smiled.
