Chapter 200 Shamelessness Makes One Invincible in the World
The speaker was none other than Ye Fan, who had arrived just in time.
"Ye Fan, how did you get here?" Seeing Ye Fan's arrival, Su Ruoxue felt even more aggrieved.
Su Ruoxue was no naive sweetie; she understood that those who could go to the Marshal's investiture ceremony were all emblematic figures of the major families, especially the younger generation, who were basically the heirs to the families.
If Su Tianhao were allowed to go, wouldn't it indirectly mean that people would assume Su Tianhao was the future head of the Su Family?
Ye Fan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Ruoxue, Mom went to pick up Ling'er, and I came to pick you up!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Su Ruoxue nodded gracefully.
The next moment, Ye Fan looked at Old Madam Su with a teasing expression, "Don't go too far! Old Madam, you know in your heart that Ruoxue is a thousand times better than Su Tianhao; it's only because Ruoxue is a daughter that you don't want to hand over the Su Family to her!"
"What if it is so?" Old Madam Su flatly tore off the facade in her confrontation with Ye Fan.
Without shaking the interests of the Su Family, Old Madam Su made her stance clear: she would make life difficult for Su Ruoxue for the sake of it.
As long as she lived another day, Su Ruoxue wouldn't even think about taking the power of the Su Family away from her.
"Grandma!"
Hearing Old Madam Su's words, Su Ruoxue was heartbroken.
Ye Fan smiled coldly, "Simazhao's intent is well known to every passerby, Old Madam. You're supporting Su Tianhao's rise to power within the Su Family and it's no secret. Don't you think you're being a bit too biased in favor of Su Tianhao?"
"Today, I will also make my stance clear to you. If Ruoxue can't represent the Su Family at the Marshal's investiture ceremony, I guarantee none of you will be able to enter the venue! Don't doubt my word!"
Angered! Ye Fan was completely furious!
More than once, for the sake of Su Tianhao, Old Madam Su had opposed Su Ruoxue head-on.
In the collaboration between the Su Family and the Xu Family, Su Tianhao had made a severe mistake, causing Old Madam Su to explode with anger. And how long had that been? Now, Old Madam Su was once again supporting Su Tianhao. Did she really see Su Ruoxue as useless, like she was thin air?
Besides, the invitation that the Su Family had was personally delivered by someone sent by Lin Wu; where was Su Ruoxue not qualified to go?
If Ye Fan was irked, none of the Su Family would think about going in.
"Ye Fan, are you threatening me?" Old Madam Su furrowed her brows.
Ye Fan's eyes were sharp as he said, "Threatening? Humph! If that's what you call it, then yes, it's a threat! I'll leave these words here: if Ruoxue can't go to the Marshal's investiture ceremony, none of you will even dream of entering!"
"None of you will even dream of entering? Ye Fan, you sure talk big!"
Just then, the next moment, a voice of rebuke sounded, and Su Yue slowly made her way pushing a wheelchair, on which Su Tianhao, covered in injuries, was seated.
"Exactly, Ye Fan, you're too arrogant. The invitation for the Su Family was obtained by Young Master Cao Xuan. It's none of your damn business. Who do you think you are? Saying we can't go in just because you said so? That's hilarious!" Su Tianhao scoffed from his wheelchair.
Seeing the arrival of the Su siblings, Ye Fan responded with a cold laugh. The Su siblings really were like bad pennies!
Staring at Su Tianhao, Ye Fan sneered, "Oh? I hear a dog barking somewhere?"
"Bastard! Ye Fan, who are you calling a dog?" Hearing this, Su Tianhao's face changed.
Ye Fan feigned surprise, "From afar, it looks like a dog; up close, it's a mad dog, right in front of my eyes, oh, it turns out to be Mr. Su Tianhao of the Su Family!"
"Ye Fan, who the hell are you cursing at?" Enraged by the comment, Su Tianhao almost spat blood.
From a distance, it's a dog; close up, still a dog, yet upon closer look, it's him, Su Tianhao. Wasn't Ye Fan indirectly calling him a mad dog?
Su Yue said indignantly, "Ye Fan, even if you're eloquent, don't think for a moment that you can let Su Ruoxue enter the Marshal's ceremony!"
"Su Yue, are you so certain?" Ye Fan sneered.
With a face as cold as frost, Su Yue said, "Of course! Don't forget, an invitation is only valid for three representatives. With Grandma, my elder brother, and myself attending, there's naturally no room for Su Ruoxue. Besides, the Su Family's invitation was obtained through my boyfriend, Cao Xuan, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Is that so? What if I told you the invitation was obtained by me?" Ye Fan retorted with a sneer.
With disdain written all over his face, Su Tianhao said, "Obtained by you? Ye Fan, you really have no shame at all! It's clear the Su Family invitation was secured by Young Master Cao, Cao Xuan, through his father, Cao Bin. It has nothing to do with you!"
"Exactly!" Su Yue curled her lip in agreement.
Grandma Su waved her hand and said, "Enough, let's not argue about this. No matter who obtained the invitation, the three Su Family representatives have been decided. They will be myself, Tianhao, and Yue Yue. On the day of the Marshal's ceremony, the three of us will attend. Ruoxue, you'll stay behind to look after the corporation. Ye Fan, stop causing trouble here!"
She was well aware that the figures sent by the major families in the Central Plains were all outstanding.
Especially the younger generation; they are the future inheritors of the major families.
To secure the position of Su Tianhao as the Future Head of the Su Family, she would not allow Su Ruoxue to appear at the Marshal's ceremony.
"Grandma!" Su Ruoxue exclaimed anxiously.
If Su Tianhao represented the Su Family this time, wouldn't others see him as the confirmed Future Head of the Su Family?
Then, would all her efforts up until now be in vain?
Ye Fan's face darkened with contempt, "Old Lady Su, do you really feel this is fair and just?"
"How is it unfair or unjust? In my eyes, every word and deed of mine is for the Su Family's benefit, very fair and just!" Old Lady Su stated solemnly.
"Old Lady Su, you dress it up so grandly, but your soul is truly ugly and despicable!"
Ye Fan mocked, and then continued, "In fact, having an ugly soul is nothing shameful, but when vile behavior hides under the guise of justice, that is truly revolting!"
"Impudent! Ye Fan, how dare you speak to Grandma like that?"
Seeing Ye Fan disrespect Old Lady Su like this, Su Tianhao barked like a mad dog.
In the cooperation with the Xu Family, because he had been slippery and annoyed Grandma Su, it was only after great difficulty and pleading that Old Lady Su had softened.
At this moment, to lower Old Lady Su's guard towards him, he had to perform vigorously in front of her.
Su Yue also reprimanded, "Ye Fan, do you realize who calls the shots in the Su Family right now? Do you believe if you anger Grandma, she might just decide to kick Su Ruoxue out of the Su Family in a fit of rage?"
"Ye Fan, you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?" Old Lady Su's eyes were shaded with a sinister shadow.
Ye Fan remained unfazed, "Touch me? Old Lady Su, if I'm not mistaken, you've been wanting to do so for a long time, haven't you? The reason Su Tianhao dares to be so arrogant in front of me is mostly because of your support from behind, isn't it? To speak plainly, you've disapproved of me for more than just a day or two!"
"I, Ye Fan, have lived for more than twenty years and am not one to be unreasonable, but I've never seen someone as barefaced and shameless as you!"
Barefaced and shameless?
Hearing Ye Fan dare to describe her in such terms, Old Lady Su trembled with anger.
"Good! Very good!"
The next moment, Old Lady Su's eyes seemed to split with rage, "Ye Fan, today I will make it clear to you, as long as I'm alive for one more day, Su Ruoxue won't even dream of inheriting the Su Family! And you still want Su Ruoxue to represent the Su Family at the Marshal's ceremony, huh, I advise you to go home and keep dreaming!"
