Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fu Family of Guangzhou
In a villa in Beijing, a young man with a beautiful face like a girl's was sitting on a taishi chair wearing a white suit and listening to a servant's report. On the sofa beside him sat an old man dressed in black, who had just brushed past Su Qing.
"Young master, the old master has instructed us to settle our affairs and return to Guangzhou immediately." The servant said with a perpetual bow of his head.
"No rush, stay a few more days. My cousin just called and there's something that needs to be checked." The young man known as Young Master replied with his eyes narrowed and head tilted back in the chair.
"Whatever you want me to do, young master, I'll take care of it right away."
The young man picked up a piece of paper from the table and casually said, "Be careful what you do, don't stir up trouble."
The subordinate received the task and left the room, leaving only two people in the study.
"Old Zhu has something on his mind." The young man spoke up first.
"The young master has seen through it." The old man smiled slightly. When he was a child, everyone called him Ming Jie, and now that he had grown up, this elder also addressed him as "young master". The young master opposite him was still very young, but his vision and insight were exceptional. As the young master of the Fu family, he was also outstanding, with excellent martial arts skills, and most importantly, he was ruthless and accurate in his actions. This was also what the current head of the household liked, let alone the fact that the Fu family was one of the three major martial arts families, and being involved in ***, a ruthless decision-maker might be the most suitable.
"What's on your mind?" The young master of the Fu family asked curiously.
"I went to visit the old man with the surname Bai." The old man's mind flashed back to the scene at that time and smiled. "The old man was as stubborn as before and refused to cooperate with us. However, we grasped the right measure and he didn't interfere either. All in all, it was a pleasant conversation."
The old man paused and became much more serious. "However, not far from the door, I met a little girl."
"How did the old man see her qualifications and want to take her as an apprentice." The young man said, but he didn't feel right in his heart, because Zhu's face suddenly turned serious.
Fu Mingjie thought to himself, "Zhu Changlao is the number one in terms of martial arts skills in the Fu family and has made countless contributions to the Fu family. Even if he were a young master, he would still be someone who deserves great respect." The old man Bai's status was noble and influential in both military and political circles, and his daughter had married into another of the three major families, the Murong family. Although the Murong family had moved overseas for nearly two hundred years, their power in China was not weakened at all. Now that Zhu Changlao and old man Bai have met, they should still be calm, but instead, they were affected by a child, which is too abnormal.
"No, she made me feel a sense of danger." Old Zhu recalled the breath he felt on Su Qing's body for an instant, which shocked him.
For families that can cultivate internal energy, Old Man Zhu is very clear. His own martial arts skills are already rare to have an opponent, and the Great Elder of the Fu family is not easy to deal with. Now a child makes him feel terrible, the other side seems to be able to end his life in an instant. Which sect has produced a genius, or is it an unknown force that has appeared? Old Man Zhu is worried. He just sent someone to investigate the identity of that child, and doesn't know what the result will be.
"Only a handful of people can threaten you, and a little girl is impossible. Maybe it's an illusion." Fu Mingjie knew that Zhu Changlao's martial arts skills were definitely among the top five, and other masters were mostly old monsters who didn't reveal themselves. How could a child have such ability to threaten the elder?
"My intuition is accurate, it won't be wrong." The old man replied firmly with a hint of doubt, the feeling was instantaneous but so clear. If his own strength were just a little bit stronger, he might not have felt anything at all.
"But who could it be? None of the major families have heard of such a person. It seems that this trip to Beijing still has many things in store." Fu Mingjie smiled, having been idle for too long and thinking of finding something exciting to do.
"We'll stay in Beijing for a few more days. I feel that the matter with Adelina's side won't be resolved in just one or two days. This is a good opportunity to investigate the girl you saw." Fu Mingjie knew that although Zhu Changlao didn't know what kind of power the girl had, she couldn't become a hidden threat to the Fu family.
"That girl is my personal responsibility, no matter what I hope she won't become an enemy." Old Zhu really hoped that when he saw Su Qing again, he would find out that he was wrong, and she was just an ordinary child.
Fu Mingjie had originally come to Beijing to deal with family business, and was feeling bored when his cousin Cui Ying called him. She said that the newly opened Liyuan Club in Beijing was quite mysterious and asked him to help investigate it, as a young girl with exceptional martial arts skills had appeared there recently. Whether these two were connected, whose faction they belonged to, and whether they would become friends or enemies in the end. Fu Mingjie felt that his recent life might become more interesting.
At this time, Su Qing still did not know that someone had noticed the unusualness of Lihua Villa and had launched an investigation into it. She herself even became a direct subject of investigation by the Fu family.
Su Qing and her brother didn't stay at their grandfather's house for long, soon finding an excuse to leave. During the time they stayed there, Su Lisha kept trying to find ways to get some money from Su Qing to satisfy her desire to buy luxury goods. However, Su Qing always changed the subject or found excuses to brush it off.
Su Qing thinks she's not a stingy person, but she also won't spend her hard-earned money on others for no reason. Su Qing believes that if she satisfies her cousin, the cousin will be grateful in front of her but call her stupid behind her back. Moreover, once this kind of thing happens, it'll happen again and again, and Su Qing doesn't want to become her cousin's personal ATM.
Su Qing had just left when Su Lisha started throwing a tantrum at home.
Su Qing was previously unremarkable, but since she started attending gatherings, she's become a different person. She's become eloquent and radiant. More and more people say that Su Qing is beautiful and talented, and when they mention the Su family, they think of Su Qing first. Su Lisha feels like Su Qing has stolen the spotlight that should have been hers, and she dislikes Su Qing.
Sulisa was unwilling to admit that Su Qing was more beautiful than herself, and attributed the error to her clothes and accessories. However, she didn't understand why Su Qing's outfit, which was just a few hundred yuan worth of cheap goods, still looked so good on her. She had bought a lot of clothes and accessories for herself but was still not satisfied.
Sulisa grew up under the extreme care and even pampering of her elders, feeling like a princess in the Su family. Su Qing should always be Cinderella, forever.
Now Su Qing has money, and she actually pretends to be confused when she's already made her intentions clear. Su Lisha is very angry, Su Qing doesn't listen to herself. She's used to others obeying her, but Su Qing seems to have never taken her seriously.
Su Lisha's hatred for Su Qing is slowly deepening.
