Su Pingyun was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ning Ye meant.
Logically speaking, it's already good enough that he wasn't turned away when he came to visit, but now he's taking the initiative to ask about the past. Could it be that he wants to know something from me?
"There are many things to discuss. If Young Master Ning doesn't have anything he'd like to hear specifically, I don't know where to begin."
"Then tell me how my wife and Mr. Su met, or rather, how Mr. Su came to be such a heartless and treacherous person?"
Su Pingyun's hands instantly bulged with veins, and the teacup she was holding seemed to shatter slightly.
The topic shifted a bit too quickly. Was the tension really that high from the start? Young people really can't keep their tempers down.
Just as Su Pingyun was thinking this, Ning Ye continued, "In terms of relationship, you are a friend of Qin Shu's father. In terms of age, you are already over thirty. From any perspective, your current thoughts are probably unacceptable to others."
Su Pingyun smiled calmly, "Things aren't always what you say they are. Some things don't matter about age; what matters most is the intention. You're still young, so you probably don't understand these things."
Ning Ye also wore a faint smile. "Mr. Su, you shouldn't have come. We're living a good life, and your appearance will disrupt this peace. Why bother?"
"I shouldn't have come. Did you expect Qin Shu to spend the rest of her life with you in such an obscure place? To rot and stink with you here? You don't deserve her!"
Just as the two were getting tense, Lin Qinshu finally returned, accompanied by Xiaoqing and Sikong Changfeng.
Recently, Xiaoqing hasn't been able to manage the business much, as she's been practicing martial arts with Sikong Changfeng. At this moment, she also has a long sword hanging at her waist.
Upon hearing that Su Pingyun had arrived, Xiaoqing immediately followed Lin Qinshu back. She was very afraid that the seemingly gentle and refined Mr. Su might do something.
"Mr. Su, why did you come to my house first? I thought you would look for me at the shop. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."
The moment Lin Qinshu entered, Su Pingyun's eyes were filled with Lin Qinshu. Su Pingyun had met Lin Qinshu when she was a child and fell in love with her at first sight.
Unfortunately, at that time, as the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Lin Qinshu could never have married a retainer.
However, ever since the incident, Su Pingyun knew that she had another chance. Before, their statuses were not equal, but now it was completely different, and the gap between them was not so big anymore.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so even though Lin Qinshu was already married, Su Pingyun was still unwilling to give up. Moreover, with his abilities and methods, dealing with Ning Ye, that obstacle, would not be difficult.
Su Pingyun quickly stood up and said, "I was a little too hasty. I think coming here to find you is the safest option. Going to the shop would be too crowded and inconvenient."
After everyone was seated, Su Pingyun's gaze was rather unpleasant, so Ning Ye had no choice but to speak again, "Mr. Su, since you have something to say, you'd better say it quickly. It's probably not good for you to stay here too long. If Mr. Su doesn't care about saving face, you can simply pretend I didn't say anything."
Su Pingyun said, "I'm sure Young Master Ning already knows what I'm trying to say. Do you really want me to say it directly? Or would you like to take the initiative yourself and avoid making things too awkward between us?"
"If we two had some feelings for each other, then we could avoid things getting too awkward. But I don't remember ever knowing Mr. Su, so Mr. Su might as well speak frankly and let others hear what you really think."
Su Pingyun said sincerely, "Qinshu, come with me. I will have Young Master Ning write a letter of divorce, and I will take you away back to the capital. This place will only waste your youth."
When these words were actually spoken, the entire room fell into a state of silence, as if everyone had been taken aback by them.
Ning Ye sneered, "Mr. Su really doesn't treat me like a human being. What, if I don't agree today, Mr. Su is going to forcibly take it from me?"
Su Pingyun lightly slapped the table, and more than a dozen guards outside the door immediately rushed in. "Young Master Ning, the reason I'm in the mood to discuss this matter with you here is because I don't want things to get too tense. If you're not prepared to agree to my request, I'll have to resort to some forceful measures."
At that moment, Wang Wu's murderous aura was revealed. "Mr. Su, what you said is a bit too much. Our young master doesn't need to do what he wants to do himself. I am willing to take on the responsibility all by myself."
The tension between the two sides flared up immediately. As expected, Su Pingyun was clearly up to no good. She didn't even bother to say a few more words; taking the person away was already her choice.
Lin Qinshu smashed a teacup and scolded, "Mr. Su, are you really not going to give me any face at all? Even if you can take me away today, so what? Do you think I did it willingly? Will you be able to live with yourself in the future?"
Su Pingyun shook her head and said, "You've only been fooled by this kid for a while. Once I take you back, you'll slowly discover who truly cares about you and who wouldn't harm you."
Ning Ye shielded Lin Qinshu behind him, saying, "Mr. Su, if we really have to make a move today, you will be forcibly taking a woman and trespassing on someone's property. You have no right to do so. Are you sure you want to escalate things to this point?"
Su Pingyun squinted and said, "If you want to talk to me about rules and reason, you'd better have the ability. What are you anyway? The fact that you're even talking to me is all thanks to Qin Shu!"
The guards could still draw their longswords. The situation was beyond repair. Wang Wu and the others were not afraid. Losing their heads would only leave them with a small scar. Even if they were doomed because of today's events, they would not hesitate for a moment.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out, "What's going on? Why is it so lively here today? Did I come at the wrong time?"
Ning Ye was somewhat surprised to hear this voice, because the person who came was none other than Liu Shanhe, who had visited before.
Logically speaking, Liu Shanhe should have already left Jiangyang City, so how did he end up here?
Lin Qinshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Wang Wu returned, he told Lin Qinshu and Ning Ye everything. So Lin Qinshu suddenly had a thought: could Liu Shanhe do this favor?
Otherwise, apart from Liu Shanhe, it would be too difficult for Wang Mingyuan to stop Su Pingyun on his own.
