Chapter 54: The Su Family Father and Son!
bout time for you to manage your precious younger brother. If he continues to harass or retaliate against Sheng Fei, I cannot guarantee what the outcome would be; neither can I promise the fate of the...Chapter 54: The Su Family Father and Son!
The next morning, Wang Zheng was forcibly dressed in a casual plaid suit by Han Xingye and Shangguan Shishi. Black and green stripes intertwined to create an elegant yet solemn appearance, exuding a friendly demeanor that made it easy for others to approach him. Coupled with Wang Zheng's naturally excellent figure, wearing this outfit would undoubtedly attract plenty of women's attention on the street, both young and old.
Even Shangguan Shishi and Han Xingye, who had seen countless handsome men in their high-society lives, were momentarily stunned. After staring at Wang Zheng for a long time, they somewhat incredulously said, "It turns out we've been living with such a big handsome guy without realizing it."
Wang Zheng responded irritably, "Please, I'm not even sure if I can get out of the Old Han family alive today. What's the point of dressing up so well Am I supposed to wear it as my shroud"
Han Xingye quickly said, "I'll be standing by your side and making sure everything goes smoothly; you don't need to worry about this."
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask," Wang Zheng asked nervously. "If Old Han hits me, can I defend myself"
Han Xingye rolled her eyes and said, "Of course not! However, if Old Han shows any signs of pulling out a gun, you are allowed to run away."
"Han Xingye, that's too unfair," Wang Zheng complained.
Instantly in his mind appeared the tragic scene of Han Duosu continuously firing guns at him while he tried to escape with his hands over his head.
...
In a small villa belonging to the Han family.
Han Duosu, wearing light-colored casual shirts and thick eyebrows that gave off an aura of authority even when not frowning, stood casually but radiated strength like a tiger. He looked at Zhang Yanqing standing beside him and said, "I wonder if it's really necessary to disturb the old man for such a trivial matter."
"How can my daughter’s life be a trivial matter!" Zhang Yanqing shot back at her husband with an exasperated look on her face. "Only when the old man likes him will he truly like him; without his approval, anything we say won't have any effect."
Seeing the military license plate Audi approaching in the distance, Zhang Yanqing quickly put on a smile and said softly, "But I believe our老爺子should appreciate Su Tianming.
Audi stopped in front of Han Jia Xiaolou, and the car door opened. A middle-aged man around fifty walked out, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with fair skin but occasionally revealing sharp glances from behind his spectacles. At first glance, this man didn’t seem particularly muscular; instead, he was rather slim, giving an impression more of a scholarly figure than a military one.
However, mentioning this man’s name, almost everyone in the entire Huaxia would know him! But if you mention his eldest son, it's likely that everyone in Huaxia would be aware of him!
Su Beijiang, deputy minister of national defense of Huaxia and father to Su Tianran and Su Tianming. Just like Han Tuosu, he is also a young leader with the rank of major general.
After becoming the deputy minister of national defense, Su Beijiang completely changed Huaxia's soft foreign policy, speaking very firmly on diplomatic occasions. When dealing with long-standing sovereignty and territorial disputes that are hard to resolve, Su Beijiang showed no compromise either, leaving some old major powers without any countermeasures while making many compromises towards Huaxia.
As the representative of the hawkish faction within the military, Su Beijiang enjoyed a huge following among young people and had high expectations for succeeding as the next minister of national defense.
Naturally, with that old monster in the Su family backing him up, Su Beijiang’s political career wouldn’t be limited to just being a minister. If there were no major changes in Huaxia's political arena, his career path would be a straight upward trajectory.
Su Beijiang’s younger brother, Su Nan Guo, had already become the governor and deputy secretary of Jiangning Province, one of the richest and most developed provinces in Huaxia. With its GDP far exceeding that of the second place, as the youngest governor nationwide who achieved such outstanding results, his political future was undoubtedly bright. It was a foregone conclusion that Su Nan Guo would become a member of the Political Bureau.
Walking beside and slightly behind Su Beijiang was a young man in military uniform. At first glance, he looked about 50% similar to Su Beijiang but lacked his elder’s composure, instead exuding an energetic vigor with prominent eyebrows and bright eyes. Though not particularly muscular, his frame suggested immense potential power. This was the captain of the Night Tiger Company within the Special Reconnaissance Brigade—Captain Su Tianming!
In truth, if Su Tianming were to walk among a crowd, his military bearing and striking appearance would undoubtedly charm many young ladies and aunties. Especially with that indomitable masculine aura, he was simply an ultimate trump card for dating, even drawing admiration from Han Tuosu.
"Beijiang and Tianming have arrived; come in quickly," Zhang Yanqing hurriedly greeted them, and even Han Tuosu managed a smile.
Su Beijiang chuckled: "Come on, Tianming, this is your Uncle Han and Auntie Zhang."
The wheat-colored face of Su Tianming broke into a smile: "Uncle, you’re always my idol."
Han Tuosu chuckled, eyes full of admiration. He patted Su Tianming on the shoulder: "Good lad! You definitely have what it takes to be an excellent soldier—full of potential!"
Zhang Yanqing hurriedly said: "Look how polite this boy is; come in quickly and rest."
Su Beijiang lifted the paper packet in his hand and said with a smile, "I went to Zhejiang recently and brought back half a catty of Song Family tea cakes for Old Master."
Han Tuosu smiled and said, "Old Master used to love drinking tea from the Song Family in Zhejiang, but it’s too expensive. A catty of aged tea cake is worth as much as a car. Beijiang, I know you’re not short on money, but this gift is really quite extravagant."
"It's nothing, it's what juniors should do." Su Beijiang put the packet of tea on the coffee table and said, "Old Han, I also talked to your sister-in-law about this earlier. Today I brought Tianming here so that we can meet Xiao Ye. To be honest, Tianming met Xiao Ye at a gathering long ago and has had her in mind ever since. Since both kids are around the same age, today I've decided to come see Xiao Ye with some boldness."
Han Tuosu smiled and said, "Beijiang, let me be honest—before meeting Tianming, I was quite opposed to this idea."
Upon hearing Han Tuosu say that, Zhang Yanqing pinched his thigh hard.
"Oh Why does Old Han say so" Su Beijiang was taken aback for a moment; Su Tianming was surprised too before breaking into laughter.
"Xingye has always been spoilt by me since she was little. She’s always getting herself into trouble, and I’ve offended many people because of her. To be honest, I really cherish this child— if possible, I’d even like to keep her with me for a lifetime so that I can have someone to attend to me when I’m old."
"However, upon seeing Tianming now, my opinion immediately changed. There are few such outstanding young people in the whole of China nowadays. Just look at today’s young men—yellow hair, smoking, effeminate gestures, some even wearing earrings. They’re neither fish nor fowl and it's really annoying to see."
Su Tianming smiled as he waited for Han Tuosu to continue.
"But the moment I saw this child, Tianming, I felt a sudden sense of clarity. Not only is he an excellent material for a soldier, but also an outstanding young man. I feel that leaving Xingye in his capable hands would be very reassuring."
Su Beijiang laughed and said, "Old Han, my brother, hearing you say this really reassures me."
On the tanned face of Su Tianming with sharp features, a hint of embarrassment appeared: "Uncle, but I don’t know what Xiao Ye thinks. Actually, I’ve been in love with her for many years."
Zhang Yanqing was so pleased that she could hardly close her mouth: "What does she have to say That little girl has always been well-behaved and only listens to me and Old Han. Furthermore, who wouldn’t like a young man like Tianming I think Xiao Ye and Tianming are made for each other."
Zhang Yanqing was very excited about her daughter potentially marrying into the Su family.
Kan Tuosu was secretly rolling his eyes; who didn't know that the obedient daughter you speak of almost burned down a certain army group commander's house Also, every household in the compound had their car tires deflated by your daughter. Each time they came looking for her, I would lead a group to suppress them. Recalling these events made Kan Tuosu feel ashamed.
"Moreover, you don't need to worry about the relationship aspect. Aren't most relationships nowadays built slowly Me and Old Han only met a few times before we got married, yet here we are living happily and harmoniously."
"If this marriage can be arranged, our old man will also be very pleased." Su Beijiang smiled as he sipped his tea, adding words that excited Zhang Yanqing.
If the patriarch of the Su family was happy about it, what resistance could there possibly be Thinking about how they would now have ties to China's top political family made Zhang Yanqing ecstatic beyond control.
Of course, whether or not the situation was as Su Beijiang said was impossible to verify.
"Is this the old patriarch’s wish" Kan Tuosu felt a chill run down his spine but did an excellent job of concealing his thoughts; outwardly he acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
In fact, intermarriages between large political or commercial families were common in China. However, the Su family held a uniquely significant place in China. Although Kan Tuosu appeared to be a roughneck, his political instincts were sharp. He sensed something different about this situation.
"My old man met Xingye at a New Year's banquet and has been talking about him nonstop ever since, praising him greatly. When Tianming brought up the topic of marriage recently, my old man was extremely enthusiastic. If not for me worrying that it would disturb his rest, he definitely would have come directly."
Zhang Yanqing laughed brightly; if the patriarch of the Su family liked her son Han Xingye so much, as a mother she felt very proud. Of course, this also greatly satisfied her vanity at the moment.
Kan Tuosu was also smiling but sweat began to form in his palms.
"Why hasn't Little Night come yet" Zhang Yanqing frowned and said, "This little rascal is becoming more and more unruly. I'll give her another call."
"Beijiang, Tianming, please sit down; our old man will be here soon." Kan Tuosu looked at the time and invited them.
"Alright, alright, no need to rush."
Upon hearing that the venerable General Han Baoguo was coming over, Su Beijiang and Su Tianming immediately sat up straight. This wasn't due to nervousness but rather a natural sense of respect for an old hero with distinguished military achievements.ned calm and composed throughout the event without showing any panic or confusion.When Little Dragon lunged forward, Wang Zheng pushed Han Xingye aside to prevent her from being scratched by Little Dr...
