The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

Although there was competition with the old rival of the Shen family, there was actually a subtle and complex feeling between them. It was an emotion based on recognition of strength and mutual appreciation.

Therefore, upon hearing the news, Old Qin, who usually took great care of his image, seemed to have completely changed. He shouted in an extremely stern and anxious voice, "Send someone to protect that girl immediately! She's already that old, and she's going out without a bodyguard."

After hearing her grandfather's sudden reaction, Yu Nanxi couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand and smiled helplessly: This old man is really a funny guy, his mood changes even faster than turning pages of a book.

Not long ago, he had teased the other family about Su Yuan's matter, but now he was worried about her safety.

Clearly sensing his granddaughter's confusion, Old Man Yu broke the silence and said, "Xiaoyan, don't you find it strange? Why were you so indifferent just a moment ago, but now so concerned about her safety?"

Seeing that Yu Nanxi remained silent, the old man took a deep breath and continued to explain, "You know, if Su Yuan has decided to give up resistance and accept the arrangement, no matter how hard we try to help, it will be in vain. It would be better to sell the old house and live a peaceful life."

The chill in these words made the air around them seem heavier.

Yu Nanxi just nodded silently, indicating that she understood what her elders meant.

The old man didn't care whether Yu Nanxi really understood what he said. Instead, he turned around with a happy face, turned on the TV, and told his granddaughter that she didn't need to accompany him anymore.

He believes that the younger generations have their own destined experiences and he will not interfere too much.

After hearing what his grandfather said, Yu Nanxi obediently left the living room.

After dinner, Su Yuan and Situ Yefeng finally got some time to rest.

"So this is Mr. Yu's birthday party?"

This was the first time that Su Yuan attended a birthday party that was purely for eating, drinking and having fun. In the past, she had only attended occasions where people drank and chatted, and engaged in secret intrigue.

Today's atmosphere made her feel both fresh and a little uncomfortable.

Situ Yefeng deliberately lowered his voice and said to her, "Maybe it's because Mr. Yu has been retired for many years. Most of the people here today are his old friends. Few people would try to build relationships in a place like this."

His words revealed a rare sense of ease. After all, they always had to be wary of various potential threats and traps.

Su Yuan nodded in understanding, "I see. Then why did you bring me here?"

She raised her head and looked at Situ Yefeng with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Although there was a subtle trust between them, Su Yuan still remained alert to the other party's occasional unpredictable behavior.

Situ Yefeng said this mysteriously, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Let's see if we can see the good show performed at the Yu Family Auction House. Of course, if we can't, there's nothing we can do."

He originally thought that he might see Hexuan Group sending people to cause trouble for Mr. Yu, but the atmosphere on the scene seemed unusually peaceful, which temporarily put his plan of taking the opportunity to collect some useful information on hold.

After hearing this, Su Yuan glared at him with disdain, her tone full of blame: "Do you think everyone is as fond of making trouble as you are, even not letting go of an old man's birthday?"

She is dissatisfied with the involvement of business interests in personal life and believes that everyone should have their own living space without being disturbed.

Facing Su Yuan's obvious displeasure, Situ Yefeng smiled and said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true."

These words seemed to tell her that things were much more complicated than they seemed.

Sometimes even a seemingly simple gathering may have hidden purposes.

Seeing him speak in such a mysterious way, Su Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes and cursed in her heart: What a pretentious person.

Although the two of them maintained a polite relationship on the surface, deep down, she actually did not agree with some of the other's behavior styles.

Just as the two were talking in a daze, Guo Yingying came over arrogantly.

It was obvious that this girl had considerable hostility towards Su Yuan, perhaps because of the unresolved old grudge between them.

"My dear sister, how did you become like this?"

She spoke sarcastically, her tone full of contempt and provocation.

In this way, she tried to provoke Su Yuan and make the latter lose his composure in such an important social occasion.

However, Su Yuan didn't even look at the other person, and simply chose to ignore this former friend who was trying to provoke a dispute.

For her, instead of wasting time and energy responding to meaningless provocations, it is better to focus on the more important interpersonal relationships at the moment.

Seeing that her existence was completely ignored, Guo Yingying felt extremely frustrated and her anger was almost overflowing.

She clenched her fists until her nails left deep marks on her palms, but she was completely unaware of the pain.

"Sister, this is Mr. Yu's birthday party. You don't want to make a fool of yourself, do you?"

She tried to put pressure on Su Yuan by mentioning public etiquette, forcing her to respond.

Finally, after remaining silent for a moment, Su Yuan finally glanced at Guo Yingying, but her eyes were still indifferent: "In that case, why don't you shut up?"

A simple and straightforward sentence blocked all the other party's escape routes.

Hearing this ruthless answer, Guo Yingying's eyes instantly became gloomy.

Then she forced a smile, trying to save face a little: "I just came to wish you well. I heard that you will be able to marry into a wealthy family soon."

Even though her heart was filled with jealousy and resentment, she still tried to maintain her composure on the surface.

After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Situ Yefeng, fearing that her hint was not obvious enough.

There was a malicious glint in her eyes, as if to say, "Do you understand what I mean?"

It would be best if Su Yuan was branded as someone who forced marriage, so that everyone would hate her!

Guo Yingying prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this malicious rumor would spread as soon as possible and make everyone feel disgusted with Su Yuan.

She even made a vicious wish in her heart: Situ Yefeng would better abandon this woman immediately.

Guo Yingying clenched her teeth and clenched her fists, as if she had already seen herself succeeding.

Situ Yefeng saw what she was thinking at a glance.

The look in her eyes was so obvious, it was almost as if a line of big words was written on her face: "I hope you leave her."

A sudden urge to explore surged in his heart: Did he really look so stupid that he couldn't even see through such a simple trick?

Su Yuan was busy looking at her phone, so how could she let him disturb her?

Her fingers slid quickly across the screen, as if looking for some important information.
