"Mr. Bo, please excuse my rudeness. It's her mother's fault for not teaching her properly, but I also bear some responsibility. If you're still angry, you don't have to give me face. Just teach her a lesson if she needs it."

Old Master Su did not understand this awe-inspiring head of the Bo family.

However, he had dealt with quite a few high-ranking people.

They all assumed that they valued their status and face highly and would certainly not tolerate being disobeyed.

Because of his lack of access to information, he had no idea how their relationship was going on.

Therefore, he chose the safest solution.

The purpose was to offer congratulatory cigarettes to win over Bo Siheng.

After all, only by making her apologize and admit her mistake can we maximize our interests.

The Su family has only survived to this day because of its reputation for teaching and educating people. In the face of rapid social development, it can no longer compete with those rising merchant families.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have continued to accept the benefits and resources from the He family.

Grandpa Su was torn between conservatism and radicalism, but he couldn't overcome the reality.

"He Yan, didn't you learn how to conduct yourself in the countryside? How dare you offend the Bo family?"

"I've dealt with so many people, and I've never heard anyone say that I'm immature."

He Yan almost laughed; she had originally intended to let the matter drop.

For Su Wan's sake, let's show some consideration for the Su family.

However, it seems that they don't really want it that way, and they don't care about their reputation.

"Why do you always accept others' bowing and scraping? Does that make you think you're superior? And when someone rejects your feudalistic ways, you're considered ignorant and ill-mannered?"

"Your pride? How much is it worth?"

Bo Siheng's eyes darkened, and he followed up with a sarcastic smile.

He didn't know before that the Su family and the He family were related by marriage, and since they had no contact, he hadn't paid attention to it.

After all, there are many wealthy families in Beijing, and quite a few people want to curry favor with the Bo family.

Moreover, it was just a so-called scholarly family.

"Isn't it going too far for Mr. Su to scold my wife in front of me?"

"Master Bo, what's wrong with you? We're teaching He Yan a lesson on your behalf, and you don't even appreciate our good intentions?"

Before Su Zhengye could speak, Susan couldn't help but speak up.

She had long been dissatisfied with He Yan.

Su Wan married well, which is fine, but at least she can still send so many things to the Su family every year, making the He family the Su family's mobile wallet, and she never dares to talk back when she is scolded.

But He Yan didn't show any reaction after marrying into the Bo family.

If it weren't for their invitation to her father's birthday banquet, she probably would still be putting on airs.

“He Yan has no manners and doesn’t know how to respect her elders.”

"Third sister, those words are too harsh!"

Su Wan couldn't help but retort. She was already in enough pain, and every time she went back to her parents' home, it was an emotional ordeal.

But they went too far and even blamed He Yan.

If she continues to tolerate this, she doesn't deserve to be a mother.

"Xiaoyan didn't grow up by my side, so she's a bit of a stranger to me. I finally managed to win her back with warmth and kindness, and I was thinking of bringing her here today to let her father meet her. Why do you have to make things difficult?"

Su Wan had endured it for so many years, and thought she would continue to endure it forever.

But suddenly she felt that she might have made a mistake.

It was because of her repeated tolerance that the Su family became so greedy.

"Father, is your filial piety education only directed at me?"

"Su Wan! You are utterly unfilial! You even dare to disobey me?"

Grandpa Su angrily slammed his cane down hard.

His eyes quickly swept over Bo Siheng, and he didn't understand why Bo Siheng would tolerate He Yan so much.

Could it be that this girl who came back from the countryside really has some extraordinary talent?

"Grandpa! You..."

He Wenming saw his mother take a step back after being yelled at.

He rushed over to help her up, and seeing He Yan's unbridled resistance, he couldn't help but speak up, feeling a little envious that she could be so carefree.

However, due to the influence he received from a young age, he couldn't bring himself to ask very forceful questions.

“You are the elder, why should you argue with a junior? He Yan is indeed inconvenient.”

"Who gave you the right to speak?"

The thing that bothered Mr. Su the most was having his words contradicted.

He then saw the guests gathered around watching the play, and he felt even more embarrassed.

The guests were surprised by how wonderful Grandpa Su's birthday banquet was.

They were just watching with a detached, amused attitude, but they didn't dare to step on any landmines.

After all, the Bo family holds a certain status; only someone who has been involved in such matters for too long would get involved.

The Su family does have a certain level of influence.

No one dared to show off in front of the Bo family.

"Grandpa Su, today is your 80th birthday, please keep a good mood."

"Yes, although He Yan is your granddaughter, she is a generation younger than you. She was married into the Bo family before. Even if she is divorced now, Mr. Bo will definitely take care of her because of our past relationship."

Those who realized what was happening quickly offered advice.

On a day like today, harmony should be valued above all else.

Su Zhengye was brought back to his senses by everyone's words and realized that he had gone too far.

It's fine to discipline younger generations at any time, but not in front of the Bo family.

That would make him seem like he's lost his integrity and manners.

He suppressed his anger and took the initiative to save face.

"Master Bo, today is my birthday banquet. I originally wanted to invite you to join me, but I didn't expect that my ignorant juniors would make you laugh. I apologize for this and hope it won't spoil your mood."

"You may only be indulging He Yan out of consideration for her feelings, but this will only make her more demanding."

Bo Siheng curled his lips slightly, remaining noncommittal.

He wouldn't have minded these things, but he couldn't bear to see Xiaoyan being wronged.

But if Xiaoyan insists on arguing, he will of course fully support her.

He Yan did not disappoint him.

Her smile was sarcastic, but she was determined to overturn the situation.

"You make it sound so high-sounding, but isn't it just because your greed is not satisfied? So you take the opportunity of disciplining me for being ignorant to try to control me and make me as easy to manipulate as Mom."

She didn't really care that she hadn't accepted the He family before.

But now that I've personally experienced Su Wan's situation, I feel that I can do without such relatives.

And we must also seek justice for our mother's grievances.

"Does the old man know the value of this Kunlun jade Guanyin? It's a rare treasure that others would beg for. I generously gave it to you not because I wanted to satisfy your greedy desires but also to hear you nitpick and think it was too late."

"Since you consider yourself superior, you should maintain your integrity instead of being greedy and even trying to use filial piety to cover up the darkness and filth in your heart. Do you agree with what I said?"

He Yan smiled throughout, spoke calmly, and did not show any intense emotions.

But this ruthless revelation made the Su family blush.

"He Yan, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The two sons and daughters-in-law of the Su family were both embarrassed.

After all, they had indeed received too many benefits from Su Wan.

But they believed it was the right thing to do.

"As a wealthy and powerful family, shouldn't He Zhengyuan, who married Su Wan, be helping her family's relatives?"

He Yan's smile grew wider, but also colder.

She saw right through these so-called relatives; they had no shame in the face of personal desires.

"Oh, so that's why you're clinging to my mother and sucking her blood?"
