However, his son was not dead yet. If the woman he chose caused his son’s illness to worsen or if she did something to harm his son, it would be too troublesome.
Hence, now that he had to choose, he was hesitant and could only say perfunctorily, “This matter needs to be carefully considered. As for the eldest daughter of the Su family...”
Before he could finish, he felt a cold gaze on him, making him almost unable to speak.
Xiao Yunfeng could tell that if he did not give a clear explanation today, this matter would not end well.
He muttered in her heart, ‘I’m doing all this for my son’s sake.’ He forced an ugly smile and said, “Since Eldest Miss Su is taken, it’s naturally not appropriate for her to be in a marriage agreement with my son. It was really rude of us tonight. If I really want to choose someone, I think I should choose the second miss of the Su family!”
Xiao Yunfeng thought that since the second msis was a little older, she should be able to weigh the pros and cons.
When the time came, he would just give the Su family more benefits. He would deal with this matter first.
Su Ning was about to explode with anger. She frowned and said angrily, “I don’t agree. I definitely won’t marry him. Why should I be chosen? I absolutely don’t agree!”
Pei Tianlin saw Su Ning stomping her feet in anger and sneered.
“Then I’ll wish the Xiao family and the Su family a hundred years of happiness in advance. I hope the couple can have children soon!”
With that, he pulled Su Yu down the stairs.
“Let’s go home!”
Su Yu obediently followed Pei Tianlin out of the banquet hall.
It was not until Pei Tianlin left that the oppressive atmosphere in the venue suddenly relaxed.
The guests’ suppressed desire to talk about what had just happened instantly erupted. They were even more enthusiastic than before.
The banquet hall instantly became noisy as everyone discussed.
Su Ning was almost crying as she shouted, “I don’t agree! I won’t marry him!”
She was just short of lying on the floor and rolling around.
Su Juntao was still standing on the stage, his face filled with embarrassment. For a moment, he felt trapped.
Seeing Su Ning like this, Wang Rong hurriedly went forward and said, “Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao, Su Ning isn’t suitable to join the Xiao family! She’s still young and insensible...”
Xiao Yunfeng frowned and was still hesitating.
Madam Xiao was also not satisfied with her husband’s choice.
Ever since Su Ning called her son a ‘dying man’, her impression of this woman was extremely bad.
At this moment, someone ran over to Xiao Yunfeng’s side and whispered something.
Shock flashed through Xiao Yunfeng’s eyes.
“Third Master? That Third Master?”
Seeing his subordinate nod, Xiao Yunfeng’s heart sank.
“So, it’s actually Third Master. No wonder his aura is so strong. Even Gu Yunsheng has to lower his head when facing him. And Su Yu is his girlfriend...”
Xiao Yunfeng felt that he had been unlucky recently. Not only was his son about to die, but he had almost offended such a terrifying figure today.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had gotten the hints just now and lowered his head in time. Otherwise...
He could not help but shudder.
At this moment, when he looked at Su Juntao and the others, his kind gaze became cold.
He was not the one who sent someone to investigate it. The news was relayed by Third Master himself.
Since Third Master had instructed him, why should he hesitate?
“Mr. Su, you’ve already accepted our betrothal gifts. Are you going back on your word now? Do you think I, Xiao Yunfeng, am easy to trample on?”
“Uhh, Mr. Xiao, we previously agreed to let our eldest daughter, Su Yu, marry your son, not our second daughter. If you’re not satisfied, we can return the betrothal gifts and compensate you three times the amount!”
Wang Rong begged in a pleading tone.
Su Ning’s body was fine, and she was still so young! If she married into the Xiao family, wouldn’t she be a widow for the rest of her life?
“Hmph! Our Xiao family is a big family. How can you return the betrothal gifts just like that? Do you think we lack that bit of money?”
Xiao Yunfeng knew that Third Master wanted to teach the Su family an unforgettable lesson, so he naturally had to do his best.
“It’s settled, then. Prepare to have Su Ning marry my son!”
The guests today were all here for the Xiao family’s sake. They were extremely close to the Xiao family, so they would naturally speak up for them.
“What’s so difficult about that? The Xiao family has such a big family business. They wouldn’t treat your daughter badly. This isn’t only good for her but also for the entire family.”
“With the Xiao family’s ability, they only need to say the word and your family will be rich. What’s there to be reluctant about? Could it be that Su Ning has a boyfriend too?”
