Chen Fan let go of Fang Qiong after they walked out of the room. He said apologetically.

“Sorry for cras.h.i.+ng your family party.”

“No… I should be sorry, Xiao Fan.” Fang Qiong closed in and leaned on Chen Fan. She said with a hint of disappointment: “I had never thought that my family would oppose so strongly of our marriage. They were my cousins, but none of my cousins were on my side. I wonder if our family bond really meant anything to them.”

“Yea, and screw those family rules, they are just excuses to mask their disdain.” Chen Fan snorted, “If I were the president of the United State of America, they would have fought each other to lick my boots.”

“Hehe.”

Despite herself, Fang Qiong blurt out a light laughter. She hit Chen Fan on the chest and complained: “Don’t be so gross.”

“It’s the truth. They looked down on me back there and thought that I am not worthy of being part of the Su Family of Wu Zhou City.” Chen Fan shrugged and said: “Little did they know that the Su Family is nothing compared to my power.”

Chen Fan’s voice was calm, however, his seemingly indifferent expression emanated a strong sense of pride and honor that Fang Qiong had never seen before. He looked like a G.o.d who presided in the heaven above the sky, looking down on the bustling mortals.

“Ah, right, are you sure you sure you won’t get into trouble for breaking Nin Yuze’s arms and legs?” Fang Qiong suddenly remembered something; her face turned black and asked concernedly. “Maybe we should skip the Birthday banquet tomorrow and go home instead. I don’t think the Ji Family and the Nin Family would come all the way to Jin City to look for us.”

“Don’t you worry. Your husband’s power is beyond your imagination. I can get rid of the Nin Family with a flick of a finger.” Chen Fan said with a proud smile.

Despite the concern inside of her, Fang Qiong kept her silence.

She was smart enough to know that once her man had made a decision, she should support him no matter the consequences.

“Don’t worry Xiao Fan, I will be right here with you no matter what happens.”

With that thought in mind, the girl inched closer to Chen Fan. Huddling together, the two walked forward against the chilly wind of the winter night.

What had happened at the Su Family banquet quickly spread into the ears of all Su Family members.

Meanwhile, inside the Su Family’s main hall, the lights were still on and many family leaders, including the Old man himself, were having an emergency meeting.

“This is ridiculous!”

Su Zhengde rose to his feet and slammed the table. He glared at Su Peng sitting beneath him and shouted: “You are the oldest brother, how could you let them start a fight during the banquet? He even broke the limbs of Young Lord Nin? Where are the security guards? He is just one person, what are other people doing? Just watching?”

Su Peng was quiet and lowered his head in embarra.s.sment.

Su Qian couldn’t help but put in: “Dad, it’s not my brother’s fault. Chen Fan is a menacing brute! You have to see it for yourself. He broke Young Lord Nin’s arms and legs because of a small disagreement. Even the vice captain of Cang Dragon Zhao Baofen couldn’t stop him. He is Master Chen after all, who would dare to stand in his way?”

“Wait. Master Chen? What do you mean?” Su Zhengde asked in confusion.

“He is the infamous Master Chen from Jin City.” Su Qian muttered. “Rumor had it that he presided over Jiang Bei and not even Xu Ao dares to defy him. The Sheng family had a taste of his power and now the Sheng family is history. Who in their right mind do you think would oppose him?”

“Master Chen of Jiang Bei?”

The announcement shocked everyone in the room.

The destruction of the Sheng family was still a recent memory, and the leaders of the Su Family knew the seriousness of the incident more clearly than anyone else. They knew that even the Sheng family’s benefactor, Gao Tianmin had got into trouble, trying to avenge the deceased. He was removed from his post in Jiang Nan Province and rea.s.signed to another province.

“Little Nine’s childhood friend is Master Chen of Jiang Bei?”

Everyone looked at each other in fear and shock.

They had been each other’s childhood crushes and one grew up to be a drop-dead gorgeous, while the other a powerful hero. Long separated they have been and now the two young loves were finally united and wedded: It was almost too good to be true.

“That makes so much sense now. No wonder Little Nine would defy her parents’ will to get the marriage certificate with him.” A Su Family elder nodded and said.

“Fifth Uncle, what do you mean?” Su Zhengde was riled up by the remark. “Even if he is Master Chen, he is still a thuggish ruffian. The Su Family had withheld our moral bearing and high standard for three hundred years, and I would never agree to marry one of our girls to such an unsavory character.”

Embarra.s.sment crawled all over Fifth Uncle’s face. He murmured something to himself and then was quiet.

The fifth uncle was a good friend of Fang Qiong’s grandpa, however, neither of them had any say in the family business. Their third brother, Su Zhengde’s father was the backbone of the Su Family, therefore, Su Zhengde and his branch wielded unchallenged authority in the family, so much so that he could even fling back at his elders.

“That’s enough. Zhende is right.” Su Yangzhi, the oldest man in the room nodded and said: “Our family had survived three hundred years. Although we are mainly a mercantile family, we always kept a close eye on our reputation and moral bearing. What Little Nine had done was indeed inappropriate. Plus, Chen Fan’s savage actions spoke loudly of his character. I don’t care how powerful or influential he is, I don’t want him in our family.”
