Chapter 175: Running Wild
Fu Yun wanted to say something, but Shuang Xu, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Since this is a matter between the Zheng and Song families, what does it have to do with me? The real daughter of the Song family is called Song Leyan. If you two families want to discuss marriage, you should discuss Zheng Zuye and Song Leyan, and don't drag me into it."
One sentence brought silence to the scene.
Cui Ning said: "Le Yan is still young, and there is a hierarchy of seniority. It doesn't make sense to arrange a marriage for her before your sister gets married."
"She's already 20 years old, which is the legal age, so she's not too young." Shuang Xu said, "And I don't mind her getting married first."
Cui Ning was obviously unhappy: "This has nothing to do with Le Yan..."
Shuang Xu interrupted her: "You don't want to do it because you know what kind of person Zheng Zuye is and you don't want to push her into the fire pit, right?"
Zheng Zuye sneered: "How can you talk like that? Who are you talking about?"
Mrs. Zheng patted him lightly and told him to stop talking.
In front of the Zheng family, Cui Ning naturally denied it: "Young people are unstable. Zu Ye was a little hot-tempered before, but now he has decided to settle down. Besides, you can't believe all the rumors outside. There are rumors about you and Shen Yuwu. Is there really something going on between you two?"
She was very skillful, putting Zheng Zuye together with the rumors about her and Shen Yu, and it was certain that one of them was admitting the other, and she used this trick to shut Shuang Xu up. After saying that, she changed the subject.
"Your Grandpa Zheng and Aunt Zheng both like you very much. They will make the decision for you. Zuye will also treat you well after marriage. It is a blessing for you to marry into the Zheng family."
Shuang Xu smiled and said, "Such a good fortune should be left to Song Leyan. I heard that you have already paved the way for her. Which family did you choose for her? What do you think about us switching?"
Cui Ning frowned: "Song Shuangxu, don't be so ungrateful!"
"How can I not know what is good for me? I know what is good for me the best." Shuang Xu put away his fake smile, his eyes were cold, "Who is good to me, who loves me, no one knows better than me. Who is indifferent to me, and only thinks of me when they are useful, I know it clearly. You covet the power of the Zheng family, but want to sacrifice me, it doesn't make sense."
Grandpa Song slammed the table, pointed at her and scolded: "What kind of attitude is this! How can you talk to your elders like this? Don't think that because the Shen family raised you for a few years, you don't know your last name. I tell you, your last name is Song! Can't I make the decision on your marriage?"
Her last name is Song, but she has no feelings for it.
"I don't have to have the last name Song." Shuang Xu said without any regrets, "I have long wanted to give up the last name Song."
This is tantamount to asking the public to cut ties with the Song family.
"Do you think you can take off your surname whenever you want? You are a member of the Song family, you have the blood of the Song family flowing in your body, and your surname is not decided by you!"
Sometimes Shuang Xu would feel that being neglected by the Song family since childhood was not a bad thing. Without any grace to repay for their upbringing, he could feel at ease to disobey and rebel.
"Your Song family never raised me. It was Song Mianzhi's responsibility to raise me, but he obviously didn't do it. Do you really want to settle this account? You gave birth to me but didn't raise me, and now you want to exploit my value. You, the Song family, are really calculating."
The Song family's fig leaf was torn off in front of everyone. Grandpa Song was furious: "Do you really think I won't teach you a lesson outside? You are an uneducated girl, who taught you to speak nonsense here?"
Shuang Xu felt that he was quite capable as he could make the sanctimonious Mr. Song so angry.
"I taught you, what's wrong?" Shen Yu's voice was calm but cold. "You are so angry, did she say something wrong or right?"
Grandpa Song shifted his anger: "Shen Yu, don't think that just because you have taken care of her for a few years, you can really interfere in our Song family's affairs. I invited you here because you raised her. I have already given you enough face by informing you!"
Shen Yu said firmly, "I have no interest in interfering in the affairs of your Song family. I raised Xiaojiu, and I have the final say in her affairs."
Master Song's face darkened: "Are you determined to go against us?"

There are rows of luxury cars parked on the road shaded by green shadows, all with noble license plates. The turning wheels of Koenigsegg make a sharp friction sound on the asphalt road.
The black supercar drove straight towards the Zheng family's front door. The security guard stood in front of the door to stop them: "This is the Zheng family's house, cars are not allowed to drive in..."
Before he could finish his words, the sports car drove towards him recklessly without slowing down at all. He was so scared that he quickly dodged it, and the Koenigsegg crashed through the door and rushed into the front yard like a ferocious and wild beast.
The security guard's hat was tilted from the fall, and he hastily tried to correct it. He watched helplessly as the car ran over the lawn, knocked over the flower beds that decorated the path on both sides, and kept on running sideways until it came to a stop at an angle in front of the main entrance of the house.
You know, even when my grandfather went out by car, he never drove to the main gate.
The Koenigsegg braked to a stop at an angle, the driver's door opened, and a tall and straight figure got out of the car, wearing black clothes and black pants, with a chilly look.
When the security guard saw the face clearly, the words he wanted to say to stop them got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

Zheng Zuye stood up and walked to the opposite side of Shen Yu, leaning down with his hands on the table: "Shen Yu, do you really think you are so important? I want to marry her, what does it have to do with you?"
"If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have asked me to sit here today." Shen Yusi refused to give in. "I've made my opinion very clear. You don't deserve it."
"Do you really think I dare not touch you? This is my house, I can kill you and it's okay." Zheng Zuye kicked over a chair suddenly, and the huge movement caused the guests next to him to exclaim in surprise.
Shen Yu didn't even move his eyelids, and looked at him coldly: "Then let's see if you have the ability to do it."
Shuang Xu frowned and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop them.
Shen Yu and Fu Yun are just too well-mannered and reasonable. When they meet the Zheng family, especially a rogue like Zheng Zuye, it's like a scholar meeting a soldier.
If a fight really breaks out, Zheng Zuye will be ruthless and they won't be able to gain any advantage.
"elder brother……"
The loud noises and piercing sounds of brakes reached the garden, creating a hole in the explosive atmosphere.
"What happened in the front yard?"
"Who drove the car in?"
Zheng Zuye's second brother stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
He walked through the living room to the front yard, and everyone's attention was drawn to that place. He could vaguely hear voices, but could not make out what was said.
Suddenly, a loud voice was heard: "Who allowed you to come to our house and make trouble?"
The Zheng family members looked at each other. Zheng Zuye's eyes changed. Just as he was about to walk over there, he heard a bang and the second brother Zheng fell out directly by hitting the door and hitting the table where the wine was placed. With a loud bang, he fell into a pool of wine-red liquid, holding his stomach.
The second sister-in-law screamed and ran over to help him in panic.
Most of the people at the table stood up instantly: "What's going on!?"
Long legs wrapped in dark trousers walked through the door, and when He Tingzhou's face with distinct bone structure appeared, it was like ice that suddenly formed in late summer.
His arrogant and conceited appearance made many faces turn pale.
The moment he saw him, Shuang Xu's heart felt like the moment when a bungee jumper was suddenly grabbed by a rope and found its landing point.
There were so many people in the garden. He Tingzhou raised his eyes and saw Shuang Xu in the crowd.
Those black eyes were narrow and sharp, and the murderous coldness in them had faded a little.
"Hey, they're all here." He said casually, "How come I didn't receive an invitation to such a lively party? Are they trying to isolate me?"
The atmosphere in the garden was strange.
Zheng Zuye walked over gloomily and pulled his second brother up from the ground: "He, you are looking for death!"
He Tingzhou walked lazily down the two steps at the door and walked straight past him: "I'm not looking for you. Don't be so enthusiastic. I can't handle it."
He broke into the banquet in the garden as if no one was around, walked up to Shuang Xu, and said to Cui Ning who was sitting next to Shuang Xu, "Make way."
“……” Cui Ning had never been asked to sit by a younger person in his life. His well-maintained face was almost deformed and he stood up with a stiff face.
He Tingzhou pulled his chair back and sat down side by side with Shuang Xu, Shen Yu and Fu Yun. He crossed his legs leisurely and looked at the faces of Grandpa Zheng and Grandpa Song, each uglier than the other.
"What interesting things are you talking about? Do you mind if I join in?"
