"Su Lingzhang! Get out here right now!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about letting this go!"

The following morning, Huo Kang, along with his fourth son Huo Huaisheng, third son Huo Huaijing, and second son Huo Huaichun, stormed into the Su family.

Su Lingzhang, who had just gotten up and was washing up, frowned and shouted angrily, "What's going on? Who's making a scene in front of my Su residence so early in the morning?"

Su Jinhao said, "Father, I'll go take a look first."

"Um."

Su Lingzhang didn't pay any attention and continued washing up.

When Su Jinhao opened the gates of the mansion and saw the menacing Huo family, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly went to greet them.

"Uncle Huo, what brings you here?"

Huo Kang didn't want to argue with a junior, so he just snorted coldly and turned his face away.

Huo Huaisheng didn't hold back at all, pointing his finger at Su Jinhao and cursing, "Su Jinhao, you're really something!"

"How dare you treat my Huo family so disrespectfully! Do you really think your Su family can control everything in Juzhou City?"

Su Jinhao looked completely bewildered: "Young Master Huo, what are you talking about?"

Huo Huaichun immediately retorted, "Su Jinhao, stop pretending to be innocent."

My Huo family has never lost face like this before. If we don't give you an explanation today...

Even if my Huo family is ruined, I will fight your Su family to the death.

Su Jinhao was somewhat at a loss due to the unwarranted insults. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, he quickly said to the group, "Gentlemen, let's go in and talk."

"snort!"

The Huo family showed no respect to the Su family, pushing past Su Jinhao and entering the Su residence.

Before Su Jinhao could ask what was going on, Huo Kang said, "Call your parents here. You're too young to get involved in this."

"Yes, Uncle Huo, please have a seat. I'll go and fetch my parents right away. Someone, bring some tea."

Before long, Su Lingzhang and Yin Jiao'e arrived at the main hall.

Upon seeing the Huo family, Su Lingzhang immediately put on a smile and greeted them with a cupped hand: "Oh dear, Patriarch Huo, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

"What wind? Hmph, a chilling wind!"

Huo Kang was furious, and seeing Su Lingzhang's old face made him even angrier.

Su Lingzhang and Yin Jiao'e exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing what had happened.

"Patriarch Huo, what's wrong that's making you so angry?"

"Su Lingzhang, you're really something, actually going to do this to my Huo family, huh?"

Do you know that my Huo family was almost wiped out yesterday? And now you're still putting on an act for me?

"Patriarch Huo, what makes you say that? You should at least give me some reason."

"You want a reason, right? Fine, I'll tell you all about it today."

Huo Kang picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and then asked, "A few days ago, your Su family said that you wanted to form a marriage alliance with my Huo family, marrying your eldest daughter into my Huo family. Do you acknowledge this?"

"What?"

Su Lingzhang looked completely bewildered.

Yin Jiao'e frowned, a sudden panic rising in her heart.

She knew about this, and tacitly allowed Su Xuejiao and her three sons to carry it out, as long as Su Yunying could marry into the Huo family.

Huo Kang continued, "I don't know what you're thinking, but my Huo family really values ​​this marriage."

The betrothal gifts are all prepared; all that's left is for the children from both families to meet, have their birth dates and times checked, and then choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding.

But I never expected that your Su family was deliberately trying to drive my Huo family to its doom. Your eldest daughter's background is truly formidable; even ten Huo families couldn't afford to offend her.

As he spoke, he described in detail everything that had happened at the Huo residence the previous day.

After hearing this, the Su family members all gasped in shock.

Su Lingzhang's face immediately darkened, and his fists clenched tightly.

Yin Jiao'e never expected that Su Yunying would use such methods to destroy this marriage.

What was even more unexpected was that this seemingly foolproof plan would evolve into such a wonderfully profound ending?

Huo Kang tapped the table and asked, "Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

Su Lingzhang took a deep breath and said softly, "Patriarch Huo, there seems to be some misunderstanding. Give me some time, and I will definitely give your Huo family a satisfactory explanation another day."

"Don't reschedule. Your Su family is too powerful for my Huo family to be worthy of!" Huo Kang said directly. "This marriage is off, but your Su family must compensate my Huo family for yesterday's losses, equivalent to 1.5 million spirit stones!"

"so much?!"

Even Su Lingzhang, a wealthy man from Juzhou City, was shocked and gasped upon hearing about such a huge amount of spirit stones.

Currently, we only have 500,000 spirit stones available in the account; the rest have been invested in relevant industries, and we cannot come up with that many spirit stones for the time being.

Seeing that Su Lingzhang remained silent, Huo Kang continued to press, "What, are you planning not to give it to me?"

Hmph, don't forget, your Su family's business dealings with Daliang involve a significant portion of my Huo family's assets.

With just a single order from me, the Su family's profits on this path will be halved.

"And don't even think about buying a single medicinal herb from my Huo family at a reasonable price again."

Faced with this blatant threat, Su Lingzhang could only lower his head, ponder for a moment, and then look at Yin Jiao'e to ask, "What exactly happened?"

Yin Jiao'e was taken aback, then poured Huo Kang a full cup of tea and said gently, "Patriarch Huo, don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding..."

"There's no misunderstanding!" Huo Kang said, his eyes red. "I never expected this."

While I was still alive, someone actually delivered my coffin to me. If it weren't for my cleverness in paying money to avoid disaster...

Today, the entire Huo family, numbering in the hundreds, will feast in this city of Juzhou.

I won't say any more. Since we've already lost face, so be it.
