Su Zining felt anxious inside, wondering why Wang Cuixia never mentioned this matter to her. This was really putting her in a difficult situation. What should she do now?

"You can find out about this by asking the villagers of Taohua Village, so there’s no need for you to feel superior. Anyone who has lived in Taohua Village has seen those hitmen, and I think you might be overthinking it. They’re not hitmen at all; they’re people looking for me. You’re acting this way simply because you can’t get what you want, leading to resentment born of love, trying to defame the Xiao Family. People like you are not worthy of Xiao Keyi."

At present, Xiao Zhen was standing beside Su Zining for the sake of his own reputation, truly shocked inside. Perhaps only Xu Ke was the so-called destined person, and he must not let the old man find out.

If the old man knew, he would surely praise Xu Ke to the skies. And honestly, Xu Ke’s talents in business are indeed astonishing. If this continues, after Xu Ke marries his daughter, even the Headquarters might end up in this young man’s hands. The thought of it made him more and more fearful.

At this moment, the elder of the Xiao Family was shocked inside but suppressed all of it, pretending to be nonchalant.

There were so many pairs of eyes watching here!

"Alright, there’s no need to discuss this matter any further. I already know the truth, so there’s no need for you to keep talking about it. A birthday banquet turned into this mess because of you. Alright, I don’t feel like celebrating anymore, everyone please disperse."

"As for the engagement, our Xiao Family will announce the date in the future, and we hope everyone can attend on time."

After the elder of the Xiao Family finished speaking, he left with the help of the housekeeper, leaving the attendees feeling uninterested. After all, the news had already been captured, so staying here no longer made sense for them.

"Alright, let’s hurry back and write the report for today. Don’t waste any more time here. If we delay any longer, our reports might not be completed, and today’s event is a big news story that we need to carefully consider. Better not to offend the Xiao Family."

"What’s so difficult about it? The Xiao Family’s attitude is clearly inclined towards Su Zining as the son-in-law. Isn’t their stance on Xu Ke obvious? He’s just a troublemaker, yet you take it so seriously. If it were me, I’d directly note down the Xiao Family’s son-in-law, and as for Xu Ke, he’s just a fraud."

"Why didn’t I think of this method? Alright, I think today’s news could produce more than one story, maybe even two. Perhaps in a few days, the Xiao Family will definitely dismiss Xu Ke, and by then we can publish another story. The Xiao Family has practically been feeding the newspapers lately."

Watching everyone leave, Xiao Zhen let out a cold snort and walked up to Xu Ke, gritting his teeth: "Are you satisfied now? My daughter is very sad because of you. Is this the result you wanted to see? If you truly wanted this outcome, you’re really heartless. My daughter treated you so well, yet in the end, she ended up with such a conclusion. Even as her father, I’m heartbroken."

Although he disliked Xu Ke, seeing his daughter sad made Xiao Zhen even more upset. After all, she was his precious child whom he had pampered since childhood. She’s never been bullied before, and yet today she’s suffered such unfair treatment, making it hard for him to bear.

Moreover, it was Xu Ke, whom he disapproved of most, so Xiao Zhen had no intention of sparing Xu Ke’s dignity: "I know you did all this because you want our Xiao Family’s money. Just tell me how much you want, and I’ll give it to you. But I hope you stop tormenting my daughter. If you continue to entangle with her, I won’t let you go. Also, leave our company early; our company doesn’t welcome people like you. Someone driven by profit like you won’t treat our daughter well."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Su Zining behind him, seemingly quite satisfied. After all, anyone with eyes could see who was better or worse between the two.

"Now, I truly recognize this son-in-law of mine. Look at how sensible he is, and courteous. Unlike you, you’re like a hedgehog covered in spikes. Although I did have some misunderstandings about you before, and you do have remarkable abilities, but treating my daughter like this, we are irreconcilable."

Upon hearing this, Su Zining appeared particularly humble, looking somewhat flattered.

Quickly bowing: "Thank you, Uncle, for appreciating me so much. I will make sure to do well in the future, so that Uncle appreciates me even more. I hope Uncle won’t dislike me, and will let me take good care of Yiyi. I will certainly take care of Yiyi on behalf of Uncle, and if Uncle has any requests, just tell me early, and I will fulfill them."

Watching these two perform in harmony, at this moment, Xu Ke felt most pained by the elder of the Xiao Family’s attitude, followed by Xiao Keyi.

These two seemed insignificant to him, and Xu Ke always felt there was no need to get angry over unrelated people. But he had to find out what exactly was going on this time.

"Alright, I didn’t even want to say much to you initially. What I want to ask you most is where my mother is. Tell me my mother’s location."

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Su Zining became particularly flustered. If Xu Ke found out Wang Cuixia’s location, wouldn’t she be in for terrible retribution? At the thought, she quickly shook her head, a mocking smile on her face.

"Since you’ve claimed her as your mother, why don’t you know any information about her? Instead, you need to ask me, which shows clearly that she’s not your mother at all. You’re just a fraudster, and now that your intentions are exposed, can you still keep acting with such deplorable skills? Stop it right now, don’t embarrass yourself any further."

In reality, Su Zining was panicking inside now, fortunate that back then Wang Cuixia wasn’t in the mood to attend her son’s wedding. So Wang Cuixia directly handed over a token, brought him to the elder of the Xiao Family, and left straight away. Now no one should be able to find Wang Cuixia, right? Thinking of this, Su Zining felt particularly relieved.

Thinking their mother-son relationship might not be good, otherwise Wang Cuixia wouldn’t do such a thing as taking away someone she loves. Anyway, even if they found Wang Cuixia later, she would certainly not testify.

Feeling more at ease inside, fortunately, there was Wang Cuixia. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to pretend to be the fiancé. Now that she’s gotten everything, there’s absolutely no reason to let go, so she must continue strongly on this path.
