Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Zhao Tianlong's Provocation!
Once, this youngest uncle of hers was an exceptional figure, an envy of the heavens, perfectly matched in talent and beauty with Xuan Yufei. They were hailed as the golden couple of Cloud City. And now... at the Ye Family's most difficult times, the Xuan Family had chosen to abandon the Ye Family.
She vowed to cherish this man deeply; the Ye Family could not be allowed to fall!
"Yes! Xiao Fan, be good, Yixue will forever be only your wife!" Su Yixue tightly embraced Ye Fan, letting her bosom completely cover Ye Fan's face.
This was the first time Su Yixue had such intimate contact with a man, and though she felt shy, she was also very determined.
What Su Yixue didn't realize was that when her heartbeat accelerated, a warm current fed back into her body, nourishing and cultivating it, making her feel as though she were basking in the spring breeze!
At the same time, Ye Fan also felt the warm current feeding back into his body.
Deep in Ye Fan's dantian, a flame flickered with the rhythm of the warm current, and after passing through the flame, it transformed into Martial Arts Qi, penetrating into Ye Fan's veins and rapidly enhancing his strength.
This was the secret of how Ye Fan had entered the Grandmaster Realm at the age of 15!
The mysterious flame within the dantian could transform into Qi Force that would rapidly enhance his own strength whenever he came into contact with a girl who experienced emotional fluctuations. Even when he wasn't in contact with any girls, the flame would still autonomously generate a warm current, turning it into Martial Arts Qi and thus boosting Ye Fan's strength at a pace many times faster than normal cultivation!
"Miss Su, the family head and the second elder are inside, please go over by yourself!" Ye Fan was checking his Martial Arts Qi when a butler came over and spoke to Su Yixue.
Su Yixue frowned, "I'll be right there!"
Su Yixue knew why her uncle and the others wanted to see her. Her announcement today, in front of so many people, of her intention to marry Ye Fan, could bring disaster upon the Su Family.
"Xiao Fan, you wait for me in the car, don't wander off, I'll come to find you soon!" After arranging Ye Fan in the car, Su Yixue turned and quickly walked towards the banquet hall.
Ye Fan watched Su Yixue's retreating figure, a firm resolve forming on his lips.
"Don't worry! Sister-in-law, from the moment you decided to protect the Ye Family and me, I, Ye Fan, will surely offer you the most splendid life possible!" Beyond the mysterious ember flickering within Ye Fan's body, he possessed a thumb ring that hid a colossal power capable of shaking the whole world, he just hadn't activated it yet.
Ye Fan had the strength to protect them!
Let those who seek to destroy the Ye Family, from this moment on, tremble!
...
At a corner of the banquet hall, at a table, Su Minghao, the second eldest of the Su Family, spoke to his older brother, Su Honghai, with irritation, "Big brother, isn't Yixue acting absurdly? She and Yu Linglong announced that they want to marry that idiot Ye Fan?"
"Indeed! Who doesn't know about the current situation of the Ye Family? Whoever gets close to the Ye Family is on the path to ruin! We are already being decent by not kicking them while they are down, why must Yixue drag the entire Su Family into this mess?" The Su Family's third son also expressed indignation.
Online, the news that Yu Linglong, Su Yixue, and the seven sisters-in-law had publicly announced their intention to continue with their marriages to Ye Fan was already exploding across the internet!
It was like putting the Su Family on the grill, "Big brother, it's about time you took control of Su Yixue!"
"If you ask me, Su Yixue's actions shouldn't allow her to continue serving as the president of Su Corporation... She should be directly expelled from the family to avoid implicating us!"
The core disciples of the Su Family, one after another, were indignantly blaming Su Yixue.
Sitting at the head of the table, Su Family Patriarch Su Honghai had been quiet until everyone had almost had their say, and then he spoke indifferently, "You seem to have forgotten how our Su Family started. Without the protection of the Ye Family, would we have the Su Family we have today?"
"I think Yixue did nothing wrong!"
With that single sentence from Su Honghai, the crowd instantly fell silent.
Back then, the Su Family was nothing more than a small workshop in Cloud City. It was by serendipity that the elder of the Su Family met Ye Changfeng, and with the support of the Ye Family, they gradually became a renowned pharmaceutical company in the Southwestern Region.
"Big brother... but this isn't the way to repay a debt of gratitude! If Ye Fan were still the prodigy he once was, marrying him off to Yixue, I would have no objections, but now..." Su Minghao had barely started speaking when he received an email. After reading it, his expression changed instantly, "Big brother, look, some suppliers have suddenly announced their refusal to cooperate with us!"
"I've received similar news. The distributors said that some big shot informed them to fully boycott Su Corporation!"
In just a few seconds, key executives of the Su Family received an influx of information from numerous suppliers and distributors. A large portion of their business partners abruptly declared an end to their cooperation, effectively pulling the rug from under the Su Family.
Clearly, those behind the scenes had started targeting the Su Family!
Making an example out of the chicken to warn the monkeys!
Su Honghai listened to the continual reports with a frown. From the moment Su Yixue publicly announced her decision, Su Honghai had anticipated this outcome and was not surprised.
"We were planning a collaboration with the Xia Family of Provincial City this time, but now it's probably gone down the drain. We've truly been destroyed by Su Yixue!"
As everyone was expressing their regret, Su Yixue stepped into the room from the doorway, bowed to everyone, and said, "I know what everyone is worried about, but what I have to say is, our Su Family initially developed with the help of the Ye Family. Now that the Ye Family is in trouble, we cannot fail to lend them aid. Even if Su Corporation falls, what's wrong with us starting over with our own small workshop?"
"As human beings, we must understand gratitude! If anybody feels my decision is improper, you're free to sell your shares and take your money to leave now, I will not stop you!"
Su Yixue might have been extremely gentle in front of Ye Fan, but in front of these key senior members of the Su Family, she was decisive and forceful, effectively silencing everyone with her words.
"Tonight, I will do my best to secure a partnership with the Xia Family! As long as we can secure the collaboration with the Xia Family, Su Corporation won't collapse so easily!"
...
At the entrance, after Su Yixue left, Ye Fan also got out of the car and walked towards the banquet hall!
Having lived in a daze for the past five years, he had finally come to his senses and it was time to reacquaint himself with the world.
"Yo! Isn't this the Ye Family's idiot? What brought you here..." Just as Ye Fan entered the banquet hall, Zhao Tianlong blocked his way with a wicked smile, "What, got hungry and thought you'd find something to eat here?"
While speaking, Zhao Tianlong and his friends exchanged glances, a cold sneer emerging in their eyes, "Come on! Don't say we don't care for the intellectually disabled. Let's offer Young Master Ye a drink first!"
As he spoke, Zhao Tianlong threw a cigarette butt into a glass of wine and stirred it around, spit in the glass several times, and urged his friends to add a bit more to it. The wine in the glass turned a urine-yellow color before he handed it to Ye Fan, "Here! Drink it, it's delicious!"
