Xu Chen was stunned this time. He quickly helped Zhao Weisheng up with Zhao Weimin.
"You're drunk, Weisheng. Brother Wei, take your brother home."
"I'm not drunk! I can't watch my happiness for the rest of my life be ruined by a family marriage!" Zhao Weisheng shouted emotionally, attracting the attention of those around him. Xu Chen had no choice but to knock him unconscious with a karate chop.
"Brother Wei, let's take him home."
"Okay." Zhao Weimin carried his younger brother on his back, took a taxi and left the place. However, all of this was clearly seen by the people sent by Su Yue, who then truthfully relayed it to Su Yue.
"Tell Xu Chen to wait a moment, and that someone wants to see him." Su Yue instructed her subordinates to keep Xu Chen calm while she took a car to the barbecue restaurant.
"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, someone wants to see you." Just as Xu Chen was about to leave, a burly man in black blocked his path. Xu Chen seemed thoughtful, then nodded and continued eating. A short while later, a car pulled up outside the barbecue restaurant. Immediately afterwards, Miss Su Yue's bodyguard found the owner, paid for all the diners, and asked the owner to clear the restaurant. Soon after, Xu Chen stared in astonishment at the empty surroundings, wondering who this person was.
"Mr. Xu, we meet again." Su Yue pulled out a chair and sat down, then asked the bodyguard to come out and wait.
Xu Chen picked up a lamb skewer and said while eating, "I remember you, Zhao Weisheng's girlfriend."
"No, to be precise, she's my fiancée."
"What brings you to see me today?"
"I have a few questions that I would like Mr. Xu to answer."
"Go ahead," Xu Chen said, opening a bottle of beer and casually asking the woman in front of him, "Want a drink?"
Su Yue didn't answer, but instead asked herself, "As far as I know, you are from Xingcheng, Hunan Province, and your relationship with the Zhao family is nothing more than being Weisheng's roommate. But why did Weisheng tell me that you are an ally of the Zhao family?"
"You came here just to ask this?" Xu Chen finished his lamb skewers and lit a cigarette.
"Yes, the marriage between the Su family and the Zhao family is imminent, and I must make certain things clear to prevent any destabilizing factors from arising."
"An unstable factor? Me?"
"Obviously."
"Explain your reasons."
Su Yue waved her hand, and a bodyguard entered the room, placing a recording pen on the table. The recording pen played the audio of Xu Chen and the Zhao brothers drinking and chatting.
Xu Chen's expression changed. "Good tricks, but you also heard it, I did not agree to Zhao Weisheng's request."
"So, you think you have the ability to agree?" Su Yue's eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Xu Chen. He was ordinary-looking, somewhat handsome, and his father held a high position, but only in Hunan Province. Why did the two Zhao brothers regard him as their pillar of support? Why did they tell her that he was an ally of the Zhao family? Why was he so certain that he could decide on the marriage between the Zhao and Su families? She had to figure these things out. The marriage between the Su and Zhao families could not afford to go wrong.
"I think I do." Xu Chen smiled and answered Su Yue's question honestly.
"Who exactly are you? Can you tell me?"
"Who I am will be revealed to you by the Zhao family after you marry Zhao Weisheng. Well, it's getting late, I should go back now. Goodbye, ma'am."
Su Yue watched Xu Chen leave the barbecue restaurant. During the process, the bodyguard tried to stop him, but she stopped him. Although she didn't know Xu Chen's identity, she felt much more at ease because Xu Chen had expressed his stance.
Picking up her bag, Su Yue prepared to leave when the phone rang. She took out her phone and answered the call.
"Dad, is something the matter?"
"How are things going with the Zhao family boy?"
"Great, Dad, don't worry."
“The Zhao family’s son has just returned to the country. You should get to know him better. Once the Tianhai project is completed, I will go to Beijing to take you to visit Old Master Zhao. Of course, it would be best if the Zhao family’s son took you.”
"Don't worry, Dad, I will do it."
"You've suffered so much. For the sake of the family, you can't even make your own decisions about your marriage." Su Xinghua said helplessly on the other end of the phone. The main reason was that the Su family had indeed encountered difficulties this year. The Ye family and the Su family were almost at odds because of some reasons. If the Zhao family hadn't intervened, the Tianhai project would probably have failed. Helplessly, Su Xinghua had no choice but to resort to this measure. Fortunately, his daughter was sensible and didn't need him to say much.
"Dad, aren't we afraid of retaliation from the Ye family for doing this?"
"The Zhao and Ye families are evenly matched. If you had settled down with the Zhao boy earlier, there would have been no problem."
"Dad, I've encountered a new situation and I'd like to report it to you." Then, Su Yue briefly recounted everything that had happened since she met Xu Chen to Su Xinghua.
"Okay, I understand. I'll look into this Xu Chen. Take good care of yourself in the capital. Let me know if anything happens."
"Okay, Dad, you should get some rest."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yue got into her car and returned to her hotel.
The next morning, Zhao Weimin and Xu Chen chatted during a break between classes.
"Brother Chen, please don't take my brother's drunken words from last night seriously," Zhao Weimin couldn't help but remind Xu Chen.
"Okay, Wei Ge, I won't. But speaking of which, Wei Ge, you seem really afraid I'll take it seriously?"
"It's good that you didn't take it seriously. This marriage between Zhao and Su is very important to our family, but I think Grandpa will definitely consider your opinion. So, I was really afraid that you would take it seriously."
"Relax, I'm not stupid enough to meddle in other people's family affairs. Besides, I have no grudge against Ms. Su."
Zhao Weimin patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, "Thanks, Chen-di. Class is starting, go back to the classroom."
"good."
What Zhao Weimin didn't expect was that, just as he finished his heart-to-heart talk with Xu Chen, a troublesome ally appeared. Su Yue's younger brother, Su Xiaochen, secretly arrived in Beijing without their parents' knowledge.
"Sis!" As soon as Su Yue opened the door, she found her unlucky younger brother standing outside. She immediately tried to close the door, but Su Xiaochen stuck his foot in and then pushed the door open.
"Sis, you don't welcome me?" Su Xiaochen was extremely sad, as if she was about to cry.
Su Yue looked at her high school brother and suddenly felt a headache coming on. "Stop pretending, Xiaochen. Who gave you permission to come to Beijing?"
"I came by myself, sis. Don't forget, I just turned eighteen recently and I can already buy a plane ticket."
"Hurry home, don't delay your sister's important business."
"No, sister, I know you're coming to the capital to get married. I need to see what my brother-in-law looks like before I go back."
"You'll see what it looks like later. Now hurry home, the college entrance exam is coming soon, why aren't you studying?!" Su Yue scolded coldly.
"Sister, please let me stay here."
Seeing that her persuasion was futile, Su Yue took out her phone to call her father, Su Xinghua. Su Xiaochen, seeing this, immediately softened, "Okay, okay, sis, I'll go back, alright?" With that, Su Yue booked the earliest available flight and instructed her bodyguard to take her brother back to Jianye. After watching the bodyguard take her brother away, Su Yue resumed processing the Su Group's official documents.
