Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 780 - "Repentance

Wu Jingui knew that his younger brother was essentially a figurehead in the Wu Family—aside from the old lady, it was he and Liang Jing who mattered.

Therefore, in most cases, whenever he had the opportunity, he would take a slight dig at Liang Jing, as he was doing now.

"How many years has it been? Haven't we adopted a humble enough posture? But has it been of any use?"

Liang Jing replied irritably:

"That wild girl is just impervious to reason!"

"Sister-in-law, after all, it's because you still harbor such deep prejudice about the past. You still insist on calling her a 'wild girl.' How could she possibly be willing to acquiesce?"

Wu Jingui said indifferently.

"You…"

"Enough, stop arguing!"

Liang Jing was about to erupt when she was interrupted by the Wu Family matriarch.

"All this talk, but do you have any constructive suggestions? If not, then shut your mouths!"

The Wu Family matriarch's eyes shot two sharp glances at them, and both of them fell silent at once.

"Mother, I believe we still need to be wary of someone!"

After a moment's pause, Wu Jingui spoke solemnly.

"Who?"

"Su Chen!"

Wu Jingui looked at the Wu Family matriarch and uttered the two words.

Upon hearing this name, the air in the main hall suddenly went still!

This name had now become something the Wu Family was completely reluctant to mention, even loathed to think of!

When the news from the financial summit had reached Jiangnan earlier, everyone in the Wu Family was completely dumbfounded!

They had never imagined that the young man who had once humiliated Liang Jing and later slapped the old lady at a Jiangnan banquet would actually hail from the Su Family of Yandu!

That was the Su Family, an existence even more powerful than the Situ Family, whom they had been so eager to court!

Fortunately, he seemed to have no connection to the current Su Family and appeared to actually bear quite a grudge against them!

What was even more unexpected was that this young man had managed to suppress the Five Great Families single-handedly!

Although they did not truly believe that the young man had the power to contend with any of the Five Great Families, after all, that was only at the financial summit.

But even so, it was already horrifying enough to deeply shock them!

Of course, it was normal for them to think this way, as the power and immovability of the Five Great Families had long been embedded in the hearts of every person in Huaxia!

Especially for the Wu Family, the foremost great family in Jiangnan, they were all too aware of the heritage and strength of those major families!

Their mindset was also influenced by their relative isolation in Jiangnan, their scant knowledge of the subsequent business conflicts and, not to mention, their ignorance of Su Chen's assault on the Su Family estate.

After all, even in Yandu, only a very few were privy to these latter events.

Had they known, their thoughts might have changed considerably!

Even so, the young man's power far exceeded their estimations!

The Wu Family matriarch even felt that the martial artists she had raised had not died in vain, as that fellow was so formidable!

"Mother, that guy is too enigmatic and, what's more, his relationship with Ye Mei is far from ordinary. So, it's still better to be careful!"

Wu Jingui continued while looking at the Wu Family matriarch.

In the past, Wu Jingui had indeed considered leveraging the poor relationship between Su Chen and Liang Jing to strike at his second brother's family.

However, after the news from the financial summit came through, he thoroughly discarded that idea, recognizing that this man was not someone he could use and that he might even get burnt playing with fire.

"You're right, that lad is indeed a bit demonic. We really do need to pay attention to this matter."

The Wu Family matriarch nodded and said:

"But there's no need to worry too much, after all, it's the Situ Family's wedding, and I doubt he'd be bold enough to cause trouble at the Situ Family's wedding!"

"Of course he wouldn't dare to make a scene at the Situ Family's wedding, but we will definitely be staying at the hotel first when we go to Yandu tomorrow, and then the Situ Family will pick up people from the hotel on the day of the wedding."

Wu Jingui pondered for a moment before saying:

"What if that guy comes and causes trouble while we are in the hotel?"

"You make a good point, indeed we need to guard against this issue."

Madam Wu agreed.

"Mother, since that's the case, why don't we inform the Situ Family about this situation so they can arrange for more people to provide protection?"

Wu Jinjun spoke up at this time.

"Idiot! Do you even have a brain?"

As soon as the words fell, Madam Wu scolded:

"Do you want to tell the Situ Family that Ye Mei is intimately concerned with that man? That they might even be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? What would the Situ Family think of that?"

Wu Jinjun rarely spoke up, but when he did, he was met with a fierce scolding from his mother, which made him shrink back and dare not speak again.

Liang Jing, seeing her husband's cowardly appearance, couldn't help feeling furious!

"Alright, I'll arrange this matter!"

Madam Wu said, thinking in her heart that it was time to trouble that venerated one to take action; it was about time he proved his worth!

"Additionally, Jingui did make a valid point earlier; we need to fully demonstrate our attentiveness towards Ye Mei." freeweɓnovel.cøm

Madam Wu swept a glance over everyone before saying:

"Even if Ye Mei is unwilling, it will not have a significant impact on the alliance between our families and the Situ Family, and with her mother there, she wouldn't dare to disobey!"

"However, if she willingly complies, it would maximize the Wu Family's interests!"

Madam Wu continued, then cast a sharp look at Liang Jing:

"Liang Jing, let me tell you, I don't want to hear the words 'wild girl' from your mouth ever again!"

"I understand, Mom."

Liang Jing's heart trembled, and she quickly responded.

"Fine, I'll go see her now."

Madam Wu said as she stood up and walked towards the door, followed by two people.

After Madam Wu stepped out, she turned and walked towards the backyard, where there was a row of houses.

The person following her immediately went to a door, took out a key, and opened it.

Madam Wu then stepped in; the room was spotless and neatly organized—absolutely dust-free!

The room had everything—a bed, a bathroom, a sofa, and more.

A woman sat on the bed with her back to the door, her hair falling naturally down her back. Hearing footsteps, she remained motionless, not turning around.

"Ye Mei, haven't you eaten anything?"

Madam Wu glanced at the untouched food on the small table inside and said tenderly:

"How can one go without food? If you continue like this, how will your body withstand it?"

The woman on the bed seemed not to hear at all, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Ye Mei, I know you hold grievances in your heart, and I don't blame you for that, really."

Madam Wu seemed to have anticipated this reaction and continued nonchalantly:

"Indeed, the Wu Family has not done well in many aspects in the past, especially regarding your mother. In this respect, I am the first to introspect!"

At this moment, Madam Wu's tone was very sincere, as if she was truly repentant...
