Chapter 1779 - 0108: Aunt Su Mengyun 3

”Auntie?” Seeing the caller ID, Wang Yue felt a bit puzzled—why would his auntie want to call him? She wasnʼt someone who had nothing to do all day long.

With some curiosity, Wang Yue accepted the video call.

Immediately, a virtual figure appeared before him.

It was a woman who was about 1.75 meters tall, with long, slightly curly black hair that fell in large waves behind her. Her unmade-up face was stunningly beautiful, second only to his mother, Su Mengyan, and his auntie, Su Mengqing, among all the women Wang Yue had ever seen. She was wearing a black dress that resembled a evening gown, adorned with dark golden patterns that gave it a mysterious and noble appearance.

The dramatic curves of the dress emphasized her slender and upright figure, creating a strong impression.

”Xiao Yue, I heard that youʼll represent the Wang family at tomorrowʼs summit. How are you preparing?” the woman asked with a smile, her tone a bit flirtatious as she blinked her right eye, almost like a ruffianly older sister teasing a young boy.

But Wang Yue never thought her to be frivolous or promiscuous because she was, after all, his mother Su Mengyanʼs own sister, his auntie Su Mengyun—the current leader of the Su family, the most powerful woman in Jinling, without a doubt.

It was only in front of Wang Yue that she showed such an apparently informal side of herself. With no sons and only twin daughters, she had always treated Wang Yue like her own son. Only in his presence would she drop all her pretenses and stop being the formidable businesswoman who everyone feared—instead, she became a mischievous, playful little woman who liked to tease people.

In fact, Su Mengyun wasnʼt the only one who was two-faced; his auntie Su Mengqing was similar.

As the president of the Jinling Adventurers Association, Su Mengqing, who seemed like a goddess of war, actually liked to rely on others deep down. It was probably after Wang Yue saved her in a way that seemed almost divine that she fell deeply in love with him.

And all of this probably stemmed from an incident that had happened thirty years ago.

Thinking about this, Wang Yue couldnʼt help but admire his grandfather—how he had managed to make all three of his daughters conceal their true nature.

His clever auntie had had to become strong in order to take control of her own destiny; his gentle auntie had learned to be independent from a young age and later became the president of the Jinling Adventurers Association through her own efforts; as for his mother, Wang Yue was certain that her indifference was not her true nature—she had just been hurt too deeply, so she had hidden it even more, never showing it to anyone.

But Wang Yue was absolutely confident that he could help his mother unravel her inner conflicts and let her regain her true self.

”Hey, why arenʼt you talking?” Seeing that Wang Yue had fallen into thought, Su Mengyun pouted and asked in a dissatisfied voice.

If millions of warriors and civilians in Jinling saw that their most powerful queen had such a cute, childlike side, it would surely shock everyone.

Wang Yue came back to his senses and said with a smile, ”I was just thinking about what clothes to wear tomorrow.”

”Something a bit formal will do; thereʼs no need for too much fuss,” Su Mengyun said nonchalantly, but then her expression turned serious. ”But donʼt be too careless either. I just received some news—besides the Feng family and the Bao family, there might also be a mysterious figure from Tianhai attending tomorrow.”

”A mysterious figure from Tianhai?” Wang Yue frowned slightly.

”Who is it?”

Su Mengyun shook her head and said, ”I donʼt know either. The Feng family seems to be rather secretive about this matter; they just gave me a subtle hint and didnʼt say anything more.”

Seeing that Wang Yue seemed to be deep in thought, Su Mengyun added, ”But you donʼt need to worry too much. After all, Iʼm here to support you.”

Wang Yue immediately smiled and said, ”I know. Iʼm still just a child. Even if I do something inappropriate, Iʼm sure those important people wonʼt take it to heart.”

”Mm, itʼs good that you donʼt feel pressured. I just wanted to let you know so you could be prepared.” Su Mengyun was extremely busy, managing the entire operations of the Su family, so after finishing her conversation with Wang Yue, she hung up the call.

However, Wang Yue began to wonder if that so-called ”important person” might actually be Li Chonghe, the father of Li Yuankui. Those top-tier martial artists, especially the more advanced ones, were very proud and would rarely come to a ”lower-level” city like Jinling.

Only Li Chonghe would be likely to come in person to investigate after being unable to contact his son. Although this happened much earlier than his sister had predicted, there was still the possibility of some unexpected circumstances.

However, even if it were really Li Chonghe, Wang Yue wouldnʼt be too worried. He had now reached the peak of the Tianyuan realm, and his actual combat abilities far exceeded what his realm level indicated; even against ordinary experts at the Guizhen realm, he would stand his ground.

Moreover, even if Li Chonghe did show up, he would first need to conduct some investigations. By the time Li Chonghe finished his research, Wang Yueʼs own cultivation level might have surpassed his. So what was there to fear?

In order to regain his energy for the next day, Wang Yue spent another night resting at home alone. (Well, actually, his women were still in the ”recovery period” and it wasnʼt suitable for them to practice cultivation together.)

Early the next morning, Wang Yue went alone to a seven-star hotel in the city center, where the summit meeting was to be held.

Actually, the summit wouldnʼt begin until the afternoon. The reason Wang Yue arrived so early was that he wanted to meet the representatives of the Feng and Bao families from Gusu in advance.

After all, these two families had always maintained cooperative relationships with the three major families of Jinling, and since it was Wang Yueʼs first time attending such an event, it was quite necessary to get to know them in advance.

The representatives of the two prominent families from Gusu had already arrived the previous day and were staying in this very hotel.

In a presidential suite, Wang Yue first met with the representative of the Feng family.
