Upon hearing this voice, Xia Pei and the old woman of the Xia family's eyes lit up as if they had been saved, and they immediately walked towards Xia Xingyun.
A flash of jealousy and hatred crossed Feng Qiao's eyes. She didn't get along with this sister-in-law. Before her sister-in-law got married, she had often conspired with the old woman to make things difficult for her.
After marriage, although she didn't marry into a wealthy family, she was from an official family, so even if she didn't have money, she was still superior to others.
Every time she came back, she was arrogant and didn't respect her sister-in-law at all. Therefore, although she pretended to be nice to her sister-in-law, she secretly hated her.
Now, whether they want to protect the Xia family or save their daughter, they have to rely on this sister-in-law.
Feng Qiao also went over, her eyes red, and said pitifully, "Xingyun, it's not that we want to cause trouble for our nephew, it's just that Yuan Yuan..."
Xia Xingyun looked at Feng Qiao with disdain.
Wearing high heels, she swayed her hips as she walked towards Su Yiqing, a haughty smile on her face. She said to Su Yiqing, "You must be Su Yiqing's nephew, right? Hello, I am your cousin Su Xingyue, and your cousin's husband is a district head in Beijing."
I was supposed to come with you all today, but something came up and I couldn't make it.
By the way, your cousin's husband asked me to pass on a message to you: the land your Su family bought in the suburbs of Beijing, and the barren hills next to it, are about to be developed into a university town.
If your land gets approved and you build a commercial center there, you could probably make billions a year just from rent alone.
While Su Xingyue was saying these things, Old Lady Xia and Xia Pei and his wife listened intently, their ears ringing – billions of yuan!
The Xia family has made billions in the past few years, let alone incurred debts; they should be grateful they haven't lost anything.
It's not that they've never seen money before; when Xia Pei's maternal grandfather was still alive, the Xia family had its glory days.
Even after his mother and father married, his maternal grandfather used his father to take over his grandfather's company. Although his father and grandfather's family were so angry that they committed suicide, the Xia family was indeed very successful at that time.
They were truly one of the four great families of Beijing, unlike now...
The Xia family is now just an empty shell. Their so-called boasting of being one of the four major families is nothing more than them bribing the media to promote themselves. The outside world has long since stopped acknowledging this.
Xia Lanjiao swallowed hard. How could such a lucrative piece of land have fallen into the hands of the Su family?
She practically wanted to rush up to Su Yiqing and yell at him, "Give it to me!"
only……
Su Yiqing didn't react to Xia Xingyun's words at all, and he didn't even acknowledge Xia Xingyun's outstretched hand.
Xia Xingyun's arrogant smile froze on her face, and her outstretched hand became extremely awkward...
But as the wife of a government official, she had to maintain a certain air, and although her smile was stiff, it didn't break. "Actually, it's like this, nephew, the permit for building a commercial center on your land is currently sitting on your uncle's desk."
Your uncle-in-law means that we should take care of our internal affairs first, and then deal with the approval issue.
Su Yiqing's cold gaze swept over Xia Xingyun.
Little Ruanruan blinked her big, icy eyes at Xia Xingyun, as if threatening her older brother: if he didn't let the Xia family off the hook, she wouldn't give him the land permit.
This woman is quite capable!
Su Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. "Miss Xia, I have already told Mr. Xia that our Su family has no relation to your Xia family."
I, Su Yiqing, am but a merchant, unworthy of being called Miss Xia's nephew.
Regarding the land permit, regardless of whose desk it's on now, the Su family has always been conscientious in its work. I believe the document will be approved sooner or later, so Miss Xia needn't trouble herself with it!
"Uncle Li, see the guest out!"
After Su Yiqing finished speaking, she picked up Xiao Ruanruan and turned to walk into the manor.
Xia Xingyun became somewhat anxious, losing her composure as a noblewoman. She raised her voice and shouted, "Su Yiqing, let me tell you, since ancient times, the common people have never fought against officials. I have plenty of ways to find fault with your Su family."
Your methods against the Xia family aren't clean either. I advise you to stop immediately, or you'll make things ugly for everyone!
Su Yiqing didn't bother with her at all, and didn't even turn her head.
Meanwhile, Xia Pei's phone rang.
He answered the phone, and before he knew what the other person had said to him, his face turned deathly pale, and large drops of cold sweat poured down his face.
He even overcame his fear of the big dog and rushed to Su Yiqing, blocking his way. Trembling, he pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase. "Mr. Su... this is the land deed and property certificate for the Xia family's old house. I'll give it to you, I'll give it all to you. Please, let the Xia family go, let me go!"
A playful smile appeared on Su Yiqing's lips. "Mr. Xia, are you neither going to save your daughter nor have anyone block my permit?"
"No, I dare not!" Xia Pei replied dejectedly.
Su Yiqing called her grandmother and told her about the matter. To avoid any further trouble, her grandmother directly asked Su Yiqing to help with the transfer of ownership.
The three women from the Xia family rushed over and grabbed Xia Pei almost simultaneously, shouting, "Xia Pei, what are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?"
"You didn't even rescue Yuan Yuan, and you didn't get any benefits. All you did was hand over the old house to him. How could you be so stupid?"
...
But no matter how the three women yelled, insulted, and beat Xia Pei, he seemed to have lost his soul and showed no reaction to the outside world.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Xia Yumeng quickly stepped forward to mediate, "Grandma, Mom, Aunt, you're blaming Dad first. Something must have happened for him to act like this. Let's go back and talk about it!"
Although the three women were furious, they also knew that Xia Yumeng had a point.
Xia Xingyun, in particular, still had some sense and quickly pulled Xia Lanjiao and Feng Qiao back, saying, "Mom, sister-in-law, let's go back first and talk about it later."
Su Yiqing's tone was icy cold. "Mr. Xia, please be at the Land Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow to complete the transfer process."
Xia Pei stared blankly at Su Yiqing for a moment, then nodded woodenly, "I understand."
Su Yiqing led the younger members of the Su family into the manor. Little Ruanruan was perched on his shoulder, tired from playing and so sleepy that her eyes were barely open, but she was still waving to Gu Chen, "Goodbye, Brother Gu Chen!"
Su Yiqing's face immediately fell, and she glared fiercely at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen helplessly touched his nose, feeling deeply that he was at a slight disadvantage.
Xiao Ruanruan treats him like a brother, while Su Yiqing and his brothers treat him like a wolf. No matter how you look at it, he feels like he's caught in the middle.
Xiao Ruanruan was indeed tired today. She was already exhausted after dealing with Ren Yuxuan and Xia Yuan at school and studying all day.
I went out for a walk in the evening, which made me even more tired.
Especially when nestled comfortably in her older brother's arms, the drowsiness becomes even more irresistible.
So when Su Yiqing carried her back to her room, she was already fast asleep.
Even her washing up was done for her by Aunt Xiang.
