Chapter 259: Mu Qingxue’s Bargaining Chip (1)

During the engagement ceremony, Su Yian gently held Chi Xun’s hand and prepared to put the ring on her finger.
Although it was only an engagement, it was as serious as a marriage, a lifelong commitment in their hearts.
Chi Xun’s gaze was soft and gentle. She was entangled with Su Yian, and a thin layer of blush appeared on her face.
She lowered her eyes in fear and looked at the ring in Su Yian’s hand. Under the light, the scene was as beautiful as a painting.
All of this suddenly stopped because of the sudden “Wait”.
Everyone’s gaze was on the person who spoke.
It was Su Tianhang, the youngest uncle of the Su family.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall froze in an instant.
The smiles on everyone’s faces disappeared. Some were curious, some were watching a show, and others held differing expressions. Only Su Tianhang still had a smile on his face.
Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly took a step forward.
The people around him subconsciously retreated to the sides to make way for Su Tianhang.
Su Tianhang took his time and walked from the back to the front. He smiled mockingly as he looked at Old Master Su and Su Yian on the stage.
Old Master Su frowned and looked at his youngest son with a displeased expression.
He didn’t like this youngest son just because Su Tianhang was an illegitimate child.
More importantly, Su Tianhang’s personality was very dark. He did whatever he wanted and didn’t care about anything. He was smart but didn’t have great wisdom. However, he was very ambitious and didn’t have a bottom line.
On the contrary, his grandson, Su Yian, who was the same age as him, was very outstanding in all aspects.
He didn’t lose to Su Tianhang in any aspect. More importantly, Su Yian’s personality was steady. He had many tricks up his sleeve, but he used both hard and soft tactics. He was the best successor to the Su family.
Therefore, when he brought Su Tianhang back, he kept warning Su Tianhang.
He didn’t allow Su Tianhang to have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have. He was afraid that Su Tianhang would destroy everything in the Su family and ruin the Su family.
However, he didn’t expect that the more he suppressed Su Tianhang, the higher Su Tianhang would jump. He seemed to be determined to get the position of the successor of the Su family.
Before this, his grandson and granddaughter were almost kidnapped.
He asked someone to investigate. It wasn’t that they couldn’t find out, but Su Tianhang was his son after all.
He didn’t want Su Tianhang to be punished by the law, and Su Yian and Su Kefei were fine. Thus, the matter was suppressed.
During this period of time, Su Tianhang was very quiet. He originally thought that Su Tianhang had given up.
But now, it seemed that he was completely overestimating himself.
Old Master Su, whose sideburns had already turned white, looked a little dejected.
But his cold eyes were still full of vigor. He stared straight at Su Tianhang and lectured, “Have you had enough? Why don’t you take a look at today’s occasion?”
Su Tianhang shrugged. “It’s precisely because I know the occasion today that I feel that there are some things that must be clarified before the engagement. Otherwise, I’m afraid that in the future, the Chi family will blame our Su family for deliberately setting them up.”
Father Su was very displeased. Looking at his displeased younger brother, he felt that he was deliberately causing trouble. “What are you trying to say?”
Su Yian subconsciously took two steps forward.
He was leaning towards Chi Xun. This posture was to subconsciously protect the people behind him.
Naturally, he knew that Su Tianhang was behind the kidnapping. For the sake of his grandfather, he made it a small matter.
But he also emphasized that there would be no next time.
Otherwise, he would definitely not let Su Tianhang off.
Only Su Kefei didn’t know anything. Although she didn’t like this uncle, there wasn’t much contact between the two of them.
She used a negotiating tone and said to Su Tianhang, “Uncle, can you wait until my brother is engaged before we talk?”
Su Tianhang gave her a cold look. “Can’t you understand human language. Didn’t I just say that the Chi family will blame the Su family for this matter? That’s why we have to say it before the engagement.”
Su Kefei couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for being treated so cold and unreasonable.
She subconsciously raised her voice and became impatient. “I think you’re doing this on purpose. You want to make things difficult at my brother’s engagement party and embarrass the Su family. Don’t forget that you’re also a member of the Su family.”
The corners of Su Tianhang’s lips curled up as he looked at her mockingly. “You really have no upbringing. Even after being raised by the Su family for more than ten years, you still can’t hide your true bearings. Even if you wear a crown, you can’t become a princess.”
Su Kefei looked at him in shock. “You’re just an illegitimate child. How dare you…”
She didn’t finish her sentence as she was held back by Mother Su.
Mother Su was very gentle and virtuous. She also knew that no one could scold Su Tianhang.
Except for Old Master Su.
She could only look at Old Master Su with a pleading gaze, hoping that he would quickly deal with Su Tianhang and not embarrass himself anymore. After all, today was the engagement banquet of the Su and Chi families.
If this continued, the Chi family would have their own opinions.
Su Tianhang’s face was filled with mockery. “I’m an illegitimate child, but at least I’m still a biological child. I’m not like some people who might not even be an illegitimate child.”
Su Kefei’s personality had always been a little impulsive. She directly shook off Mother Su’s hand and was so angry that her face turned red. “Who are you calling an illegitimate child?”
This time, Su Tianhang ignored Su Kefei.
Instead, he looked at Old Master Su on the stage and said with a faint smile, “The Su and Chi families are engaged, but you let an outsider take the daughter of the Chi family. If the Chi family finds out about this, where will our Su family put our face?”
When everyone heard this, disbelief flashed across their faces.
Old Master Su’s pupils suddenly constricted. “Su Tianhang, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Su Tianhang was still very calm. “I’m not spouting nonsense. Everything I’ve said is true. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, but this is the truth.”
The usually elegant Mother Su’s gentle attitude had completely faded. She could no longer keep her cool. After all, this was related to her reputation.
She was so angry that her face turned green. She said to Su Tianhang, “What nonsense are you spouting? How can Yian not be a child of the Su Family?”
She was so anxious that tears were about to flow out.
She looked at Father Su and said, “You have to believe me. Yian is your child. He is definitely your child.”
Su Yian was furious when he saw his mother like this. There was a murderous look in his eyes.
His fingers that were hanging by his side tightened slightly. He threatened Su Tianhang, “Uncle, right now, please leave immediately!”
Father Su also comforted his wife and patted Mother Su’s hand, “Of course I believe you. I know you would never betray me. Yian is definitely my child.”
Su Tianhang narrowed his eyes and sneered, “When did I say that Su Yian is not your son? I said that he is not a descendant of the Su family.”
Father Su’s face darkened, “What’s the difference?”
“The difference is huge.”
What did that mean.
It meant that not only was Su Yian not a member of the Su family, but Father Su was also not a member of the Su Family?
