"From this moment on, Xiao Chen's words represent the Su family; his meaning is the collective meaning of the Su family!!!"

Faced with questions about the seniority of the Dong family's patriarch, Su Ningshuang's father immediately stepped forward to express his opinion.

Although he was only the former head of the Dong family, he was the current head of the Su family, and with that status, he had a say.

He had little experience with big events and couldn't handle the old patriarch of the Dong family and those who echoed him, so he handed over the power of speech to Ye Chen.

"What, does Patriarch Dong still have objections?"

Ye Chen countered by asking the old patriarch of the Dong family a question. Ye Chen had intended to directly confront the old man, but he hadn't expected Uncle Su to hand over the reins of the conversation to him.

"You're representing the Su family now, fine, but have you seen our attitude?"

The old patriarch of the Dong family immediately changed the subject. He turned around and pointed to the Cui family, Luo family, Pang family, Gu family, and other bigwigs and tycoons from Hangzhou standing behind him.

These are all on his side.

Together, they form a truly terrifying force.

If they get angry and attack together, there are probably few people in Hangzhou who can stop them.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the old patriarch of the Dong family noticed the old man of the Ning family, who was still sitting there without saying a word.

"Brother Ning, what is the meaning of your Ning family's actions?"

The old patriarch of the Dong family questioned him with great dissatisfaction.

Most of the wealthy families from Hangzhou who are present are on his side, except for the Ning family.

Is the Ning family trying to get special treatment?!

"That's right, Patriarch Ning, you should also express your opinion."

"The powerful families of Hangzhou are united in their hatred of this enemy. We cannot let the Su family set this precedent, otherwise it will also cause considerable harm to us."

The heads of the Cui and Luo families spoke one after the other.

Their enthusiasm stems from the fear that if the Su family sets this precedent and a female heir emerges, some women in their own family might also become restless.

The competition within their family was already fierce, and now with these female competitors added, the situation will become even more uncontrollable.

This is something they don't want to see.

After being criticized by several people, Old Master Ning had no choice but to stand up.

After thinking for a moment, Old Master Ning said earnestly:

"It's true that no female heir has ever appeared in any of the wealthy families in Hangzhou, but I think we can still discuss this matter."

"This is a matter for the Su family, and it's not appropriate for us to get involved."

"Let's have a proper talk, there's no need to be so tense."

Grandpa Ning acted like a peacemaker.

Although he did not explicitly state that he was on Ye Chen's side, his words still indicated that he was biased towards Ye Chen.

If it weren't for Ye Chen in the Su family, Old Master Ning would definitely have sided with the other wealthy families. However, Old Master Ning had high hopes for Ye Chen and believed that Ye Chen's future was limitless.

At the same time, Old Master Ning was unwilling to offend other wealthy families in Hangzhou, which is why he appeared to be neutral but was actually biased towards Ye Chen.

"Brother Ning, are you agreeing with the Su family's approach and going against us all?"

The old patriarch of the Dong family immediately saw through Old Master Ning's thoughts and flew into a rage.

"I hope you won't regret your decision later. Even if your Ning family and the Su family join forces against us, you're doomed!!!"

They consist of five major wealthy families, plus some local tycoons and bigwigs from Hangzhou.

Even if the Su family were to add the Ning family, they would only be two powerful families, and the advantage would still be in their hands!

"you?"

Ye Chen was amused by the words of the old patriarch of the Dong family.

In Ye Chen's view, the Dong family, the Luo family, and their group were nothing but a disorganized mob.

Ye Chen could easily break up this rabble!

"Patriarch Cui, you are determined to oppose our Su family along with Patriarch Dong, right?"

Ye Chen looked at the head of the Cui family first.

"I.........."

The head of the Cui family was about to nod, but Ye Chen stopped him.

"Master Cui, please don't rush to express your opinion. Let me finish. Here's what happened. A while ago, a friend of mine was traveling in the Maldives. He happened to see a couple and took some photos."

Ye Chen said meaningfully.

Um? ! ! !

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the Cui family patriarch's eyes widened immediately, his expression somewhat dazed.

"Um...where does your friend live?"

The head of the Cui family asked somewhat guiltily.

"It's a hotel called Cheval Blanc, which appears to have been invested and built by the Louis Vuitton Group."

Ye Chen answered.

While speaking, Ye Chen glanced at the old patriarch of the Dong family, intentionally or unintentionally.

White Horse Manor?!

The head of the Cui family was completely panicked.

Some time ago, he did indeed secretly go to the Maldives with a beautiful woman and stayed at the Cheval Blanc Randheli hotel.

These are all minor issues. The real problem is that this beautiful woman has a rather unusual background.

The old patriarch of the Dong family, though still young at heart, had taken a very beautiful woman as his mistress six months ago. The beautiful woman that the patriarch of the Cui family took on a trip to the Maldives with him was none other than the old patriarch's mistress.

The two met at a party.

Ye Chen had just glanced at the actions of the old patriarch of the Dong family, and the patriarch of the Cui family had noticed it.

Ye Chen's hint was enough; the Cui family patriarch understood.

If the patriarch of the Dong family finds out about this, he'll be in deep trouble. No man can tolerate being cuckolded, let alone the once powerful patriarch of the Dong family.

"Gurgle, gurgle............."

The head of the Cui family swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.

How did Ye Chen know about this? He kept it a secret very well!

The head of the Cui family couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains.

However, the head of the Cui family was very clear about one thing: once Ye Chen exposed this matter, he would be in big trouble.

"What, you think you can threaten Patriarch Cui? Heh, you think you can threaten Patriarch Cui?!"

The old patriarch of the Dong family spoke to Ye Chen with a cold smile. He was still familiar with the patriarch of the Cui family.

The head of the Cui family is somewhat reckless; he would never accept threats from others. Ye Chen's actions are tantamount to courting death.

The former patriarch of the Dong family firmly believed that the patriarch of the Cui family would never betray his side!
