“Grandpa, does the rumor about the little miss of the Green Gang have anything to do with you?” After Chen Meng’er and the others left, he left Liao Yunjin behind and drove all the way back to the Su family.

He ignored the butler of the Su family and rushed into his grandfather’s study.

“Who gave you the courage to rush into my study without my permission? Also, where did you learn your manners? Do you think you have the right to question your grandfather now?” Elder Su didn’t even raise his head. “You don’t have the right to question me,” Elder Su said slowly. However, people could immediately feel the intimidation in his words.

However, Su Jinming was not frightened by his grandfather. “Yes, my wings haven’t grown hard yet, so I can’t resist you. I can only let you arrange the major events of my life. Grandpa, you clearly know that I only have Chen Meng’er in my heart. How could you still do such a thing? The last possibility between me and Chen Meng’er was forcefully cut off by you.”

“I didn’t do anything too bad. Do you think there’s still a chance between you and Chen Meng’er? Do you think your grandfather is an idiot? I have no other choice. A marriage alliance with the Liao family is our last resort. Su Jinming, I’m warning you. Put away your thoughts about Chen Meng’er and properly follow my arrangements to marry Liao Yunjin of the Liao family. Although the Liao family is no longer what it used to be, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. If we make good use of it, we can still get a lot of benefits from the Liao family,” Elder Su warned Su Jinming.

He was afraid that Su Jinming would not listen to him and cause other trouble. “Jinming, you are the candidate I have my eyes on for the next head of the Su family. However, you also know that the Su family is not like other families. There are many people who want that position, and there are also many capable people. I don’t want you to be the loser in the end,” Elder Su threatened.

How could Su Jinming not understand?

Su Jinming wanted to resist, but he knew very clearly in his heart that there was nothing he could do now. He could only follow his grandfather’s wishes. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Su Jinming’s hands, which were hanging on the sides of his body, were tightly clenched into fists. Even when his fingernails pierced into his flesh, he couldn’t feel any pain.

Su Jinming could only tell himself in his heart that he had to endure it. When he ascended to the position of the head of the Su family, who would dare treat him like this?

“Grandpa, I understand.” Su Jinming silently took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart. “If there is nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Okay.” Elder Su waved his hand at Su Jinming.

After Su Jinming left, the Su family’s housekeeper walked in. “Master, I see that Young Master has a lot of anger towards you in his heart. I’m afraid that after he ascends to the position of family head…” the Su family’s old housekeeper didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning in his words was very obvious.

“I know what you’re worried about. It’s fine, I know what I’m doing.”

Elder Su knew long ago that Su Jinming wasn’t a person who could be controlled by others. However, he knew clearly in his heart that Su Jinming was the person who was most qualified to be the head of the Su family. Only Su Jinming could lead the Su family to greater heights.

For the sake of the Su family, Elder Su could only choose to support Su Jinming. “In my lifetime, Su Jinming still can’t escape from my control.”

He wouldn’t let Su Jinming escape from his control.

“Why are you free to pick me up from school today? I heard from Allen that you’ve been very busy recently.”

Allen knew that sucking up to Chen Meng’er was more important than anything else. Right now, he would approach Chen Meng’er whenever he had something to do. Moreover, even if Chen Meng’er didn’t ask, he would report his master’s whereabouts to Chen Meng’er from time to time.

Allen secretly told Chen Meng’er that his master had been very busy recently. He was busy giving Chen Meng’er a grand engagement banquet and a wedding banquet that Chen Meng’er would never forget in her life. As for how grand it was, Allen could not say it out loud. This could only be imagined by Chen Meng’er herself.

Many times, Chen Meng’er felt that Allen was not betraying his master to please her but was deliberately trying to whet his appetite. Now, every time Chen Meng’er saw Allen or received a call from Allen, she felt a headache coming on.

“It’s Allen again, that brat.” How could Yuwen Jing not know his subordinate’s every move?

However, he did not have any objections to his subordinate fawning over the person he loved.

“Who else could it be other than him? Sometimes, I feel that Allen was sent by you to my side on purpose.” Chen Meng’er glanced sideways at Yuwen Jing.

Chen Meng’er’s childish action made Yuwen Jing smile. He reached out and ruffled her hair. When she protested, he withdrew his hand and held her hand instead. “Why do you feel that way? What did Allen do to make you feel this way?”

“You don’t know. He always takes the initiative to come and tell me about you. But every time he tells me something, he always tells me half of it. You can ask him in more detail. He doesn’t know anything. He’s just trying to keep me in suspense. He doesn’t really want to tell me about you,” said Chen Meng’er with a pout.

“Haha, you’ve misunderstood him. He’s not trying to keep you in suspense, but he really doesn’t know. Baro isn’t looking at how he keeps moving closer to you. He’s deliberately hiding a lot of things from Allen.” Only when he was with Chen Meng’er would Yuwen Jing be so relaxed. Only then could he reveal such a light smile.

“Oh, so it seems like I really misunderstood him,” Chen Meng’er said with a nod. After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Yuwen Jing and blinked. “If Allen doesn’t know, then you definitely know. Tell me, what kind of surprise are you planning to give me?”

Chen Meng’er, who appeared to be powerful, was still a little girl deep down. She also liked nice things.

“A surprise is a surprise, so I can’t tell you.”
