Chapter 2: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
The wheels made a sharp noise due to the sudden braking, but no one in the encirclement had the heart to look.
Su De and the other two young men blocked the girl behind them and shouted at the person who suddenly came to harass them for no apparent reason:
"What on earth do you want to do? Do you know who I am? How dare you surround me and not let me leave!"
Just at this moment, the crowd suddenly parted and a tall man in a suit walked out.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was cold and majestic. The sound of his leather boots stepping on the ground was so sonorous and powerful that it made people feel scared.
Su De looked over and met the sharp eyes of the visitor. He instinctively dodged for a moment, and then became angry and embarrassed again:
"Who are you?"
A man who looked like an assistant beside the visitor said with a smile: "Master Su San, this is our Master Ye."
The crowd was in an uproar. Su De was also startled and took a step back. His voice was hesitant:
"Since you know who I am, why are you still surrounding us? I don't remember having any grudges against your Ye family!"
Ye Jiuzhou was too lazy to speak, his eyes fell on a young man who was trembling slightly next to Su De.
The young man seemed to feel his scrutiny and began to tremble even more violently.
It was assistant Ye You who took over:
"Young Master Su, this matter has nothing to do with you. We are looking for the person next to you."
Su De followed his gaze and saw Luo Hailu trembling all over. He opened his eyes wide in surprise:
"What’s wrong with you?"
Luo Hailu tried hard to steady himself and argued: "I don't know what happened to me..."
Ye You laughed:
"Mr. Luo, you are so forgetful. Not long ago, you and your companions smashed up one of our shops in the middle of the night and stole several valuables. Don't you remember anything about that?"
He looked the thin man up and down, wondering where he got the courage to rob the Ye family.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. We have already reported the case and your accomplices have been arrested. Once you are in prison and reunited with them, I think you should be able to remember it."
"You're talking nonsense!"
A girl behind Su De shouted, grabbed Su De's hand, and looked at him pleadingly:
"Master Su, Hai Lu has always been honest and never caused any trouble. You have to believe him. This is a false accusation!"
She was so anxious that she seemed about to cry: "It's a pity that we have no power and can't compete with them. We can only do what they say. But you are different. Now only you can save him."
Luo Haixing's eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of hope. She was Luo Hailu's sister, and she was quite attractive. Su De had been pursuing her recently.
Today I was planning to take her, her brother and a few friends to the department store for some shopping, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
Su De has always praised himself as a romantic man, and he would love any good-looking woman like the best. Now, seeing the pitiful and tearful look of the beauty he has always dreamed of, how could he not be moved?
In an instant, even his fear disappeared a little. He stood in front of Luo Hailu, not daring to look at Ye Jiuzhou's horrifying expression. He only dared to shout at Ye You:
"If you say so, then so be it. I tell you, Sucheng is not something that your Ye family can cover up with one hand! I...I want to tell father! We can't let good people be wronged!"
Ye Jiuzhou stood still like a mountain. Ye You's smile faded, and his tone was somewhat meaningful:
"Young Master Su, we have solid evidence that this person did collude with others to participate in the incident of smashing and looting the business. In this case, are you sure you still want to protect this person? I just don't know what Master Su will think if he finds out?"
Su De was frightened by his words. Although he was a playboy, he knew that his father would not be willing to be an enemy of the now powerful Ye family.
The matter involving Luo Hailu was small, just a problem of a business.
But it is a big matter, as it concerns the prestige of the Ye family in Sucheng, and it is not something he can protect just because he wants to.
If this affects the Su family, his father alone will be able to beat him to death, not just anyone else.
Su De retreated a little, and Luo Haixing anxiously tugged at his sleeve again.
Su De looked back at Luo Haixing who was pleading, and mustered up his courage and said:
"Ye Jiuzhou, I'm your future brother-in-law, don't you even have this little bit of face?"
As soon as these words came out, exclamations arose everywhere. Brother-in-law? The Su family and the Ye family are going to get married?
Ye You looked at Ye Jiuzhou in surprise. When did this happen and how come he didn’t know anything about it?
Ye Jiuzhou finally looked at Su De with alms, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, a shrill car horn suddenly sounded.
Everyone present and the crowd watching the excitement couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.
A black car drove slowly over, and the onlookers couldn't help but disperse a little to make way for the car to pass.
The expression on Su De's face was one of surprise, fear and excitement. He recognized that this was his own car, but he didn't know who was sitting in it?
The car stopped in front of everyone, and a murderous man got out from the passenger seat. He first glanced at the cold Ye Jiuzhou with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Ye Jiuzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise. A stranger, or a stranger who looked a little unusual.
He looked at Ye You, who shook his head implicitly, indicating that he didn't know either.
He has all the information about the Su family. This person is not from the Su family and he should have never been seen in Sucheng.
Ye Jiuzhou looked at the young man again, only to see him walk to the back seat, open the door with one hand and put the other hand on the roof, as if he was afraid that the person inside would hit his head.
Everyone was surprised. Could such an extraordinary person be just a servant?
What kind of person is the owner of the car?
As everyone watched, a slender and straight leg slowly stretched out of the car, wearing white high-heeled shoes that were not common nowadays.
When the shoe fell to the ground, the person in the car finally revealed his complete figure.
The scene, which was originally filled with whispers, suddenly became quiet.
What kind of person is that?
She looks extremely delicate, like a doll in a window.
But the most rare thing is her temperament... She is beautiful and graceful, as if she has gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
She raised her eyes and looked over. Her sight lingered on Ye Jiuzhou for a moment. After a slight nod, she turned away without any reluctance and looked at Su De who was stunned. She opened her red lips slightly, and her clear voice reached everyone's ears:
"Third brother."
Su De ignored the various looks from others and shouted in surprise:
"Little sister, when did you return home?"
Ye Jiuzhou's gaze has never moved away from the girl since she appeared, his eyes are focused and deep.
Hearing Su De's words, she slowly lowered her eyelids to hide the deep thought in her eyes. Is she the youngest daughter of the Su family?
Is this his future wife who was arranged for him?
Su Youran didn't respond. She just said calmly, "Third brother, get in the car. Let's go back together."
Su De responded subconsciously and took a few steps forward. Behind him, Luo Haixing's eyes flashed with jealousy and envy. Seeing Su De was about to leave, he quickly grabbed his hand and looked at him pleadingly.
The most important thing now is her younger brother. He must not admit to the robbery just like that, otherwise what will happen to her marriage in the future!
Su De paused for a moment, and Su Youran spoke again:
"Third brother, it's getting late. I have to hurry back to have lunch with my parents."
Su De quickly agreed, looked at the anxious Luo Haixing with an apologetic look, pulled his sleeve away from her hand, and quickly walked up to Su Youran.
The person who had been so arrogant before now seemed a little at a loss.
Su Youran smiled slightly, and without looking at anyone else, she got back into the car. Su De quickly followed.
The car slowly drove away in everyone's sight, leaving behind a trail of exhaust gas.
Ye You looked at Luo Hailu who was shaking even more violently, and waved behind him:
"Two people come to 'escort' him to the police station."
Luo Hailu's arms were grabbed, and two big men, one on the left and one on the right, were carrying him like a chicken, with his feet dragging on the ground.
He kept turning back and shouting at Luo Haixing:
"Sister! Sister! Help me!"
Luo Haixing's expression was stiff. He took several steps back under the gaze of everyone, gritting his teeth in hatred:
"He's a jerk who can't do anything right, but always makes trouble! He actually dared to get involved in such a big thing. Now, I'm afraid that the rich husband she managed to get with so much difficulty will be lost!"
Ye You whispered beside Ye Jiuzhou: "Do you want to go back?"
Ye Jiuzhou's eyes flashed, and without saying anything, he turned around and got into the car parked on the side.
He just happened to pass by today, and when he heard Ye You say that the third young master of the Su family was there, he got out of the car and went to take a look.
The Su family holds an important position in Sucheng, and he also wants to see who else is behind this.
Who would have thought that I would have such a chance to meet Miss Su who had just returned to China.
Ye You sat in the passenger seat and sighed, "I always heard people say how pretty so-and-so is, but I don't think she's even a bit as pretty as Miss Su."
He thought of Su De's words, and looked back at Ye Jiuzhou with some gossip:
"Are you really going to marry into the Su family? How come I didn't know? But if it's this Miss Su, then you're really blessed. I thought Su De was talking about his biological sister. What about that Miss Su? She's not worthy of you."
Ye You and Ye Jiuzhou grew up together, and Ye You could be considered half-adopted sons of the Ye family, so his tone when talking to him was very casual and joking.
Ye Jiuzhou looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not reply. Ye You did not care, as this was his personality, cold and taciturn, and he had long been accustomed to it.
"Send a visiting card to the Su family and tell them that I will come to their house to bother them tomorrow."
Ye Jiuzhou looked indifferent, with little emotion: "Stop at the department store and buy some gifts."
Ye You turned back in surprise, stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled ambiguously and responded loudly:
"Okay, got it!"
This is really rare, that people who know nothing about worldly affairs would take the initiative to worry about these small details.
Ye You chuckled, is it true that the power of beauty is too strong?
Ye Jiuzhou felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, coughed lightly, and scolded:
"What are you looking at? Focus on what's ahead!"
Ye You answered loudly, turned around and looked at the front of the car intently, saying:
"I will definitely not let you miss the department store. This is our first visit, so we must be well prepared."
Ye Jiuzhou coughed again and looked out the window to cover up his mistake. He stroked the buttons on his sleeve with his hand, and his mind couldn't help but recall Su Youran's appearance over and over again.
He didn't know why, but when he saw her, he felt happy and wanted to keep looking at her.
I also want her to keep looking at me.
