My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Ah, ah, ah, devil, you are a devil!” Ultimately, Wei Donglin caved and agreed to guide Ye Guihua and the others to the Eternal Life Hall.

However, as he agreed, a trace of deceit flickered deep in Wei Donglin’s eyes.

”Once you enter that area, you all shall die!” He secretly cursed in his heart.

Ye Guichen no longer paid attention to Wei Donglin.

Su Wu also ensured someone watched over Wei Donglin as he and Ye Guichen left together.

Just as they were leaving the dungeon, someone approached with quick steps, looking somewhat nervous: ”Young Master, Wu Hualong has arrived.”

”Wu Hualong?” Su Wu’s expression tightened: ”What is he doing here at this time?”

Although there was no direct evidence linking the incidents in the Su Family with the Wu Family, even using his toes to guess, Su Wu could figure it out and became instantly wary.

The messenger shook his head, expressing confusion: ”I don’t know either, but I saw Wu Hualong brought a woman with him. Although the woman was veiled, she had a great figure.”

”Besides Wu Hualong, is there anyone else?” Su Wu asked.

The messenger thought for a moment: ”No one else, it seems it’s just the two of them. They are now in the living room with the Master, who asked me to call you and Mr. Ye over.”

”Alright, I understand.” Su Wu waved his hand, indicating he got the message, then looked towards Ye Guichen: ”What is the Wu Family doing here?”

After all these events, though Su Wu was proud, he had come to admire Ye Guichen.

Now, whenever something arose, Su Wu subconsciously wanted to see Ye Guichen’s opinion.

Ye Guichen didn’t mind at all.

When paid, one resolves troubles for others.

Moreover, he hadn’t done anything earth-shaking.

”Why worry about what they’re here for, let’s see first.” Ye Guichen smiled and walked quickly towards the hall.

Soon, the two reached the outside of the hall.

When Wu Hualong saw Su Wu and Ye Guichen, he quickly stood up, smiling broadly as he greeted Ye Guichen: ”This must be Ye Guichen, Mr. Ye? Haha, I’ve long admired you!”

”Admired?” Ye Guichen didn’t acknowledge Wu Hualong’s politeness, responding: ”Do we know each other?”

”Cough, cough.” Wu Hualong was taken aback by Ye Guichen’s arrogance, giving him no face; he couldn’t help but look slightly embarrassed.

Just then, before Wu Hualong could speak again, someone else announced.

”Master, Family Head Zhou, Zhou Wantong has come to visit.”

”Master, He Family Master He Yuqing has come to visit.”

”Master, Tan Family Master Tan Zhenshan has come to visit.”

With each announcement, Su Cheng’s expression grew increasingly grim.

These were all prominent families in the southwest, though their influence didn’t match the Su Family. Still, they were often closely connected to the Wu Family.

Wu Hualong’s sudden visit already made Su Cheng vigilant, but now with all these alliance members appearing, could they be plotting against the Su Family?

However, refusing to meet them now might cause them to look down on him.

”Let them all in.” Su Cheng glanced at Ye Guichen and seeing him remain silent, made a direct order.

Now, Su Cheng and Su Wu had similar thoughts. Especially after so many incidents, they felt that as long as Ye Guichen was there, nobody could really harm the Su Family.

Soon, four or five people strode in.

It seemed like they had pre-arranged this and didn’t bring many people, only one bodyguard each.[/p]

Nonetheless, each of those bodyguards was capable of taking on ten, or even twenty, at a time.

”Oh, Family Head Zhou, Mr. He, Master Tan, what wind blows you here?” From the previous engagement feast, the Su family made sure to exclude these people just to prevent any potential disruptions.

But now they showed up uninvited; to say they have no ulterior motives would hardly be believable.

Su Cheng spoke and gave Su Wu a look.

Su Wu quickly withdrew, clearly to make preparations.

At such a moment, no one would foolishly think they came alone. These major figures were forces to be reckoned with in the southwest.

If they dared to come alone, it was likely because they were not afraid of being troubled by the Su Family.

Zhou Wantong, a burly man in his fifties, dressed in a changpao, cupped his hand towards Su Cheng, but soon his gaze fell on Wu Hualong: ”Brother Wu, what is the meaning of this, coming alone without telling us, your brothers?”

He Yuqing, looking scholarly and wearing glasses like a teacher, spoke with a sarcastic tone: ”Yes, Brother Wu. The engagement in the Su family is such a significant event, even though we didn’t receive an invitation, we still should come. Why didn’t you want us here, yet came yourself?”

From the start, the words were filled with tension.

The corners of Wu Hualong’s mouth twitched slightly; with just a glance, he could guess their intentions.

Concerning dealing with the Su Family, they previously stood together.

The Wu Family had even promised that once they swallowed the Su Family, a portion of the industry under the Su Family would be divided among them.

This was exactly about sharing fortune and benefits.

However, just when Wu Hualong came to the Su Family, the other prominent families received the news.

They initially planned to quietly wait for the Wu Family to make a move and then swoop in for some benefits. But who knew Wu Hualong would personally come to the Su Family without any followers.

This made them feel uneasy.

After some quick consultation, they all gathered up together and came to the Su family.

They thought Wu Hualong intended to cut them off and negotiate with the Su family.

Should that happen, if afterward Wu Hualong turned against their families, they wouldn’t even have time to react and would be subjected to severe consequences.

Wu Hualong realized their misunderstanding and smirked inwardly but showed no change on his face. ”Gentlemen, we’ve been old acquaintances for years, surely you can trust me, can’t you?”

”Haha, Brother Wu, it’s not that we don’t trust you, but such a significant incident in the Su Family... We don’t know the real story, yet the Shen Family has been so silent during this time. It makes us wonder who’s been pulling the strings here?”

Zhou Wantong spoke as he set his gaze on Su Cheng: ”Su Cheng, we have no other purpose today but to meet Sunan King, have a chat, and by the way, congratulate the Su Family on finding a son-in-law!”

His words were filled with sarcasm.

The Su Family had already annulled the engagement, yet Zhou Wantong acted as if he didn’t know, and as he spoke, he continuously looked at Su Cheng, wanting to observe his reaction.

Su Cheng’s gaze shifted, and he slightly clenched his fist: ”Family Head Zhou, you are too kind. My father is currently resting, so there’s no need to meet. Regarding the alliance with the Shen Family, we have given it up; it seems Family Head Zhou’s information is somewhat outdated.”

”Resting?” Zhou Wantong pressed on, asking: ”Su Cheng, is Sunan King resting, or has he already fallen unconscious and hasn’t woken up?”

”Wow!”

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.

Su Cheng’s face turned cold, and he replied icily: ”Family Head Zhou, what do you mean by that?”
