45 45. Su family members who lost the wealth. (1/2)
After Yu Wang departed from Su's residence, Patriarch Su; Su Lingdao summoned all the elders and family members of Su who handled all of Su Qingyi's heritage shops. All members of the Su family and the elders summoned by the head of the Su family were confused. They waited until everyone had gathered while continuing to wonder the reason for their calling.
Su Yanjiu and Su Gaishan glanced at each other when they both seeing each other's presence in the Main Hall. Both of them smiled silently inside their hearts at the gloomy face of Patriarch Su and also Hong Tiaoqing who still looked pale as a corpse. Looks like Yu Wang didn't disappoint them, the prince gave a big blow to that arrogant and petty old man.
”Patriarch, why are you calling all of us?” one of the elders who had a close relationship with Su Lingdao asked after all those summoned by Patriarch Su were all present.
Su Lingdao looked at everyone present in the Main Hall and felt even more annoyed at the thought of what he had to tell everyone. This man did not want to return all of Su Qingyi's heritage shops because the inheritance stores accounted for more than 60% of the Su family's wealth.
At first, he did not realize how much profit he got from all the shops, but after Su Lingdao read the financial statements of all the shops, Su Lingdao realized how much profit was used by the Su family from there. But, now Su Lingdao couldn't deny his words otherwise Yu Wang would hunt down the Su family to the end.
”Elder Ma, you know that Yu Wang came today, right?”
Elder Ma nodded. This younger man, only a few years from Su Lingdao, was one of Patriarch Su's supporters. Ever since they were young, Elder Ma had been one of Su Lingdao's men so he knew a lot and also benefited greatly from Patriarch Su. His family was one of the parties who took over the Su Qingyi heritage store and they enjoyed a lot of profits from the shop that they forcibly took from her.
”Do you know the reason for Yu Wang's arrival?”
Elder Ma shook his head slowly. How could this short, chubby man know?! He had just spent a lot of money from the profits of the Su Qingyi heritage store to take part in a big scale auction.
This old man is taking part in the auction hall to get pills that can make him live longer because the martial arts he has learned are not so high so he only has some more years to live. As an elderly man who enjoyed the wealth of life even though it did not belong to him, Elder Ma wanted to be able to enjoy it longer that's why this old man desperately sought pills to live longer.
”Yu Wang came to ask us to turn over all of his wife's heritage stores back.”
Hearing Patriarch Su's notification that was heard by everyone present in the room made all those who took over Su Qingyi's heritage shops feels like getting lightning strikes on them in broad daylight.
”Patriarch, you can't possibly let Yu Wang take back all the heritage stores?!”
Hong Tiaoqing becomes hysterical at her father-in-law notification about Yu Wang's plan to take over all Su Qingyi's heritage shops. This woman could not let all the inheritance stores including the one she held out of her hands. If she lost the inheritance shop, her position as Second Madam of the third generation would be rather shaken. Hong Tiaoqing also used a lot of profits from the store she held to help support the Hong family to become bigger like now. If this woman loses the store, she will suffer greatly.
Slap!
A loud slap echoed in the room. Hong Tiaoqing was thrown some distance from her original place. Staring in surprise, Hong Tiaoqing had no idea that her father-in-law would slap her face in front of many people.
