My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 760: The Dog-Headed Military Advisor Offers a Strategy
"Grandpa, isn’t that Divine Doctor Qin... a bit old for her?"
The one who spoke was Su Divine Doctor’s eldest grandson, Su Wenjian.
He bore some resemblance to Su Wenyuan, but Su Wenyuan was just a second-generation rich kid indulging in pleasure-seeking, holding no position whatsoever in the Su family’s company.
In contrast, Su Wenjian, dressed in a suit and sporting gold-rimmed glasses, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, had quite the aura of a domineering CEO. Yet when he spoke, it was with a slow drawl, his eyes often half-closed, immediately revealing him as a character of deep schemes and keen strategizing.
"Yeah, Dad, there are plenty of promising young men in Capital City. Banxia is only twenty-four, why find a middle-aged man in his forties? How would others view our Su family?"
Wenjian’s mother chimed in with her support.
"Oh, Wenjian, big sister-in-law. Isn’t this strange? You were just worried about Banxia not finding a boyfriend to help out the Su family. Now that Banxia has found the renowned Divine Doctor Qin, you’re complaining about his age? What’s the meaning of this? Are you worried that if Divine Doctor Qin helps the Su family out of trouble, Dad will give all the shares to us, and you’ll not get a single one?"
Banxia’s mother slammed down her chopsticks, unapologetically firing back.
Currently, Wenjian and his family held important positions within the company, while her own husband also worked there, a sincere man who kept his nose to the grindstone without causing trouble. Over the years, Su Wenjian and his family hadn’t missed any opportunity to line their own pockets, both overtly and covertly—she’d had enough of it.
Now, they were meddling in her daughter’s marriage prospects too. How could she swallow this indignity?
"Mom, you rock!"
Su Banxia gave her mother a thumbs up under the table.
"Hmph... Let your daughter marry an old man if she likes, it’s not my face that’s getting lost anyway!"
Wenjian’s mother snorted coldly, visibly annoyed.
There was a secret she’d kept from the Su family: Jin Zhijie, who had a blind date with Su Banxia a few days ago, was her illegitimate son from before marrying into the Su family, and thus had no blood relation to Banxia.
If her own son could marry Banxia, not only could they utilize the channels of Heixing Group to help the Su family out of their predicament, but she could then firmly grasp the entire Su family in her hands.
Now, with Banxia declaring a relationship with Divine Doctor Qin, Wenjian’s mother naturally didn’t want to see Banxia marry an outsider and slip out of her control.
"I also object to Banxia choosing a man so much older. If they really get married, do I call him my nephew-in-law, or my brother?"
The Divine Doctor’s eldest son, in complete agreement with his wife, also spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"Hmph, if this path is blocked and that path won’t do either, then why don’t you all figure out how to resolve the Su family’s crisis?"
The Divine Doctor was angry too, speaking with a stern face.
He didn’t mind that Qin Yu was somewhat older; as long as he had the capability to help the Su family out of trouble, that was what mattered. Moreover, this was his granddaughter’s own choice. If it were any other man, his granddaughter might not be willing.
It’s really a case of trouble rising again as soon as one problem is dealt with!
"I think Zhijie is still the better choice. He’s with Heixing Group’s branch office in Capital City, young and promising, handsome and dashing, a perfect match for Banxia!"
Wenjian’s mother continued to aggressively promote her illegitimate son.
"That kind of foreign-worshipping trash? I’m not interested!"
Banxia crossed her arms with firm resolve.
"How about this, Banxia, why don’t you bring that Qin Yu home... hmm, the day after tomorrow would be good, it’s Grandpa’s birthday. Let us meet this man and if we’re all satisfied, it wouldn’t be impossible for you two to be together!"
Banxia’s father, who had spoken little until then, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and pondered out loud.
"Um..."
Banxia had been merely bluffing when she brought up Qin Yu as a shield; she knew perfectly well there was no connection between them at all.
How could he possibly come to the Su family to act in her charade?
"Heh, Banxia, you weren’t just talking big, were you?"
As a seasoned businessman, Wenjian had a sharp eye and easily detected Banxia’s uneasiness.
"Exactly, Divine Doctor Qin has only just established himself in Capital City, and he’s fallen under your pomegranate skirt already? You should really consider Zhijie instead. He’s got his heart set on you!"
Su Wenjian’s mother also pursed her lips and spoke.
"Hey, Auntie, what do you mean by that? Banxia just doesn’t like to dress up, but she’s still very pretty when she does. You’re so picky—why don’t you just have a daughter yourself!"
With a toothpick in his mouth, Su Wenyuan spoke without any courtesy.
"Alright, alright....."
Divine Doctor Su pressed down with both hands. When the family had quieted down, he looked at Su Banxia with an unquestionable tone and said, "We’ll do as your father said, invite Qin Yu to our house. If you’re suitable, you’ll have a wedding. If not, you’ll listen to your Auntie and marry Jin Zhijie. We must cut through the mess quickly, the Su Family’s crisis cannot be delayed!"
"....Alright then!"
Su Banxia was silent for a few seconds before nodding her head.
It looked like she would have to shamelessly seek out Qin Yu again and ask for his help. Otherwise, her grandfather would definitely force her to marry Jin Zhijie.
Just thinking about Jin Zhijie’s obsequiousness in front of Park Jiaren made her feel so nauseated she wanted to vomit.
On the contrary, Qin Yu was impressive—Park Jiaren was always so polite in front of him.
"Then it’s settled, let’s eat!"
After Divine Doctor Su made the final decision, the Su Wenjian family couldn’t say much more.
They were just secretly scheming to find a way to drive away that old man once he came to the Su Family. That way, Su Banxia would have to marry Jin Zhijie.
At that moment.
At the Martial Alliance in Capital City.
Yuan Tiangang and an old man with a goatee sat in the hall drinking tea.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He had just received a call from Han Qingying saying she had returned to her sect and would no longer interfere with Qin Yu’s affairs, hoping he would take care of himself.
As for the fact that Qin Yu’s acupuncture points had been unblocked and he had recovered his cultivation level, Han Qingying didn’t mention it. Mainly because it was too humiliating, too shameful. She couldn’t believe she had been filmed by Qin Yu without wearing any pants.
Thinking about this, she felt an urge to die of shame. She wanted to hide in her sect for the rest of her life, never to come down the mountain again.
Naturally, the Martial Alliance’s grudge with Qin Yu had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Alliance Hierarch Yuan, I have a plan!"
The goateed elder was Zhuge Ming, Yuan Tiangang’s advisor, playing the role of a sly strategist.
"Brother Zhuge, let’s hear it!"
Yuan Tiangang looked towards his crafty advisor, knowing that in terms of brainpower and scheming, he was somewhat more adroit than himself.
"To borrow a knife to kill someone!"
Zhuge Ming dipped his finger in some tea water, writing on the table with a secretive air.
"Oh, how so?"
Yuan Tiangang grew slightly interested.
"That young man has offended quite a few people over the past year. The Ye Family, Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, none of them are easy to deal with. If they knew that his realm had declined, they surely wouldn’t sit idly by, would they?"
Zhuge Ming stroked his beard as he spoke.
"Hmm...."
Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes, a cold light flickering through, "This plan is feasible, but we will have to use someone else’s mouth. It must not be related to our Martial Alliance!"
"Understood, I’ll take care of it right away!"
Waving his fan, Zhuge Ming walked out of the hall.
