Ch 40: Impromptu Family Meeting

“Right, Sister, what was Su Chen’s purpose in finding you this time?” Han Qianxue asked.

Han Qianrou said through gritted teeth: “The Su Family Metal Factory, he took it back!”

“What?!”

Han Qianxue was shocked again at this news, “Didn’t you and Yang Feng take over the Metal Factory today? How could he have taken it back?”

Then Han Qianrou told Han Qianxue what had happened in the room just now, of course, she concealed the part where she was taken advantage of by Su Chen.

Even if she and Han Qianxue were the best sisters in the world, this kind of thing was a little difficult to talk about.

“AAAAAH!! Damn Su Chen, he dares to bully you like this, I must kill him!” Han Qianxue clenched her fists, murderous aura radiating from her.

Compared to the Su Family Metal Factory being taken back, she was even more unacceptable of Su Chen bullying Han Qianrou. In her opinion, this was an unforgivable capital offense by Su Chen!

“I should have stabbed him to death at that time, instead of sending those good-for-nothings to bury him alive!” Han Qianxue felt immense regret at this moment.

Her regret was not that she betrayed Su Chen, nor that she drove Su Chen to his death, but that she was careless and did not kill Su Chen herself, giving Su Chen a chance to escape.

Letting the tiger return to the mountain, future troubles are endless!

Han Qianrou recalled Su Chen’s actions towards her just now, and her hatred was overwhelming.

“Qianxue, what are you planning to do?”

Han Qianxue narrowed her eyes, revealing icy killing intent, and said: “I plan to ask Grandmaster Xuanlong to take action, at a suitable time, to kill Su Chen!”

“Does Grandmaster Xuanlong have an absolute guarantee of killing Su Chen?” Han Qianrou asked uncertainly.

Han Qianxue said: “Sister, that’s Grandmaster Xuanlong, a high-level Kaiyuan Realm strong person, a well-known Big Shot in Dragon City. How could a little Su Chen be Grandmaster Xuanlong’s opponent?”

“That’s true…” Han Qianrou nodded, relieved. She was really fed up with Su Chen’s bullying.

…………

On Su Chen’s side, he had taken back the Metal Factory from Han Qianrou and had also taught Han Qianrou a lesson, his mood was extremely good.

With this contract in hand, the Metal Factory was once again in the hands of the Su Family.

Initially, Han Qianxue and Han Qianrou, the two sisters, had tricked him into signing the transfer contract while he was drunk. Afterwards, Su Chen didn’t even remember the incident.

Now, Su Chen used similar methods to take back the Metal Factory from Han Qianrou, which was considered a tit-for-tat response.

At this time, Su Chen received a call from a cousin.

“Hello, Tian Ge, what’s up?”

Su Chen greeted enthusiastically.

The voice on the phone was somewhat cold, “Su Chen, you’re still in Dragon City.”

“Of course I’m in Dragon City, where else would I be?” Su Chen said with a smile, “What, do you want to treat me to a late-night snack?”

This cousin was named Su Tian, a night owl who went to bed at three or four in the morning every day, so he ate late-night snacks every night.

Su Tian didn’t laugh; instead, he was very angry and scolded, “You can still laugh? You’ve gotten yourself into big trouble, do you know?!”

Su Chen became serious, “What happened?”

“Come over and I’ll tell you, we’re all waiting for you at the Ancestral House!”

After saying this, Su Tian hung up the phone.

Su Tian’s attitude itself spoke volumes.

Su Chen couldn’t help but think of what his Grand Uncle had said to him, that after his broken engagement with the Han Family, many people in the Su Family were dissatisfied with him, believing that he had lost face for the Su Family, and that he should stay away for a while.

His Grand Uncle was well-intentioned, but as the Head of the Su Family, Su Chen naturally couldn’t escape like this.

Besides, this wasn’t in his character.

Su Chen didn’t hesitate at all and drove straight back to the Ancestral House.

Meanwhile, at the Su Family Ancestral House, after Su Tian hung up the phone, he spoke to the people in front of him: “I’ve told him.”

“Did he say he’ll come?” A Middle-Aged Man asked.

Su Tian nodded, “He should come.”

“Should? ” This Middle-Aged Man was very dissatisfied. He was an Elder of Su Chen, named Su Yingwei, a generation removed in blood relation. Previously, when Su Chen was elected Head of the Family, he had strong objections, “He must come tonight! As the Head of the Su Family, he represents the Su Family’s Face. He was first abandoned by the Han Family, and now he lost the Metal Factory, he’s a criminal of the Su Family!”

He spoke harshly, directly calling Su Chen a criminal.

You should know that Su Chen was the Head of the Su Family, he controlled the entire Su Family, and when discussing important matters, his status was the highest.

However, Su Yingwei, in front of so many Su Family Members, didn’t give him any Face, essentially not taking Su Chen, the Head of the Family, seriously.

“Su Yingwei, your words are too harsh, no matter what, Su Chen is, after all, the Head of the Su Family.”

Granduncle Su Liyan knocked on the table and said displeasedly.

Su Yingwei retorted, “Precisely because he’s the Head of the Su Family, that’s why I say he’s a criminal! Uncle Yan, I know you’ve always been fond of that boy Su Chen, but you should also see, since the Su Family has been under his control, how much it has declined!”

“Never mind the broken engagement with the Han Family a few days ago, now the Metal Factory has been taken over by the Han Family! A while ago, our Su Family’s Ancestral Property, the Su Family Winery also had problems. If it weren’t for us being there in time, I’m afraid that even the Su Family Ancestral Property would have been seized by the Han Family!”

“Do you think such a person is fit to be the Head of the Family?!”

Su Yingwei’s words were extremely harsh, and many Su Family Members present echoed his sentiments and agreed.

They were all Su Family Members, their main source of income was from the Su Family Industry. Now that the Su Family was declining, their income naturally declined as well.

Therefore, they all had strong objections to Su Chen.

Today, when they learned that the Su Family’s Metal Factory, worth tens of millions, had been taken over by the Han Family, their Emotions immediately exploded. At Su Yingwei’s instigation, they had this emergency Family Meeting tonight.

Normally, such a grand Family Meeting would be held during the day, and at least three days’ notice would be given.

But they couldn’t wait a moment longer, they wanted to hold the Family Meeting tonight to question Su Chen properly.

They waited for another half an hour, but Su Chen still hadn’t arrived, many Su Family Members furrowed their eyebrows and became increasingly dissatisfied with Su Chen.

Some people started complaining.

“It’s been half an hour, Su Chen still hasn’t shown up, could it be that he’s not coming?”

“This is a Family Meeting, it’s not appropriate for him, as the Head of the Family, to not be present.”

“Head of the Family, my foot! Who considers him the Head of the Family now? He’s just a criminal of the Su Family.”

“If he doesn’t come, strip him of his Head of the Family status.”

“I think Su Chen won’t be coming…”

At first, these Su Family Members were only whispering, but later they spoke louder and louder, their Emotions became more and more excited, until finally it had developed to the point of directly stripping Su Chen of his Head of the Family status.

Seeing this situation, Su Yingwei’s lips curled up into a smug smile, and then he said to Su Tian: “Call Su Chen again and tell him to come back! If he doesn’t come back, then he doesn’t get to be the Head of the Family anymore.”

His tone was very strong, as if it were an imperial decree.

Granduncle Su Liyan said with a cold face: “No need to call, I called Su Chen yesterday, I told him to rest outside for a while, he won’t be coming back recently.”

As soon as these words fell, all the Su Family Members looked at Su Liyan. Su Yingwei said unceremoniously: “So that’s why he hasn’t arrived in half an hour, it’s all thanks to your『 merit』, Uncle Yan!”

“In that case, let’s not wait for him, let him rest forever. Let’s hold an internal meeting and strip him of his Head of the Family status.”

Su Yingwei said decisively, gaining the approval of many Su Family Members.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

“Who said I’m not coming back?”

As soon as the voice fell, Su Chen appeared at the door and strode in.
