Su Susu heaved a sigh after Fang Qiong was back in her own room. She bent double and hugged her knee close to her chest as she reflected on what had happened. Fang Mingde asked curiously: “What is going on? I thought Chen Fan is pretty good. Don’t tell me you can think of anyone better.”

“He is not just pretty good, he is too good to believe.” Su Susu said quietly. “The last time we saw him was six years ago and he was just a little boy. But suddenly, he has become this infamous Master Chen of Jiang Bei. Can you imagine what had happened to him during these six years?”

“Er…” Fang Mingde hesitated.

His wife’s words. .h.i.t the mark, Chen Fan’s change and transformation were unbelievable.

They watched as Chen Fan grew up so they knew Chen Fan very well. However, it had only been a few years, Chen Fan had transformed into a completely different person, like the carp fish in Chinese Mythos that jumped over the Dragon Gate and suddenly turned into a dragon.

Fang Qiong was too elated to think clearly, but Su Susu was thinking for her.

She had seen many things in her life and if life had taught her anything, that was to plan for the worst.

“Other things aside, there are so many secrets behind the fall of Sheng family that are unknown to us.” Su Susu cracked a cold smile. “Chen family and Sheng family’s paths never crossed before. However, the Chen family suddenly started to compete with the Sheng family on the East Mountain Meadow project and instigated the conflict. Worse, Sheng Ronghua and his entire family were killed under suspicious circ.u.mstances, and their mansion was burned to the ground with a dozen sheng family members in it.”

“Are you saying that Chen Fan did all of that?” Fang Mingde asked under his breath with fear.

“I am not sure, neither do I know if he had cast some kind of spell or curse on the Sheng family members. However, what I’m trying to say is that we know practically nothing about our future son in law. It worries me if we marry our daughter to him right now.” Su Susu shook her head.

“Susu, you are overthinking it.” Fang Mingde protested. “Chen Fan might have changed to a point that we no longer know him, but we know his parents very well. We have been friends for over twenty or so years, and do you really think their son is going to be a conniving thug?”

Su Susu kept her silence, but the knot on her brows loosened a little.

She never liked w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, but she was impressed by the couple’s moral bearing.

“s.h.i.+t!”

Fang Mingde suddenly remembered something.

“What’s going on? “Su Susu chided.

Fang Mingde let out a wry smile and said: “I have something that I meant to tell you. But I almost forgot about it because of Xiao Qiong’s marriage. ”

Then he plastered on a mysterious look and then said: “Not long ago, I was at Wu Zhou for business and so I visited your old man on my way. The Old man mentioned that he wanted to introduce a suitor for Xiao Qiong, it was the son of one of his old colleagues. Since I didn’t know anything about Xiao Qiong and Chen Fan, I agreed to let Xiao Qiong go on a date with that boy. But now…”

After hearing that, Su Susu’s mind was filled with questions.

The lord of Su Family had been a vice governor, although he was not directly in charge of things, the position was prestigious nonetheless. Every holiday, many leaders of the Jiang Nan Province would visit him with many gifts. The Su Family had also remained strong and thrived thanks to the Old Man’s reputation and ill.u.s.trious past. Without him, the Su Family would never be called the number one family in Jiang Nan Province.

The old man’s colleague would have to be at least a Minister of a province.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Su Susu gave Fang Mingde a glare.

Fang Mingde shrugged and smiled wryly.

This was supposed to be great news for the couple, after all, if the Old man didn’t care about Xiao Qiong, he would never bother to arrange a date for her. They knew that the Old man wouldn’t introduce just anyone to Xiao Qiong, so the young man must be the son of either a super-rich family or a powerful one.

However, their daughter had spoiled everything by getting a marriage certificate. There was no way they could explain the situation without seeing any raised eyebrows.

“Did the Old man say which family is he from?”

Su Susu kept her hands close to her chest and asked with furrowed brows.

“I think he is from Zhong Hai. The Old man said that he was one out of million among the teenagers in Zhong Hai.” Fang Mingde recalled, and then he gave Su Susu a glance. “Are you going to eat your words again? Xiao Qiong and Chen Fan had already got the certificate. Plus, whoever this young man is, do you think he would be as powerful as Gao Tianmin? Even Gao Tianmin was no match against Chen Fan, much less a young fledgling. Chen Fan is the best you can find, I tell you.”

“I know.” Su Susu brushed her husband off annoyingly.

She folded her arms and paced back and forth in the living room.

After a while, she paused and then said.

“Hold off contacting w.a.n.g Xiaoyun for now. Let’s go and meet the Old Man himself. Regardless of who Xiao Qiong would choose, the marriage would have to be approved by the Old Man anyways. ”

“It’s going to be the Old Man’s birthday in a few days. I worried that if we tell him right now, we are going to spoil his mood.” Su Susu hesitated.

“If I were you, I would just turn down the other young man. Do you really think that boy from Zhong Hai is better than Chen Fan?” Fang Mingde snorted and protested.
