C50 If the Liu Family and the Zhang Family Were Not Enough Then What about the Capital's Su Family?

"Brother-in-law, he's the scoundrel I was talking about."

"He didn't just slap me around back then."

"He also had the nerve to look down on our Sun family, with Vice-chairman Liu and the head of the Zhang family backing him up."

Sun Xue strode over, pointed at Lin Chen, and began to rattle off complaints to Chung Yu.

She paused briefly, catching a glimpse of Ann Lan's pale face out of the corner of her eye.

With a malicious grin, she went on, "And that tramp by his side."

"Being the granddaughter of our grandfather, it's bad enough you're tarnishing the Sun family's name with some lowlife."

"But to strut around as if you're above us, acting like you can just trample all over the Sun family's dignity."

"You better break her legs later, teach her a lesson she won't forget!"

Lin Chen and Ann Lan aside, even Vice-chairman Liu and Zhang Yongnian were appalled by Sun Xue's brazenness.

Right from the start, they've been using the Sun family's influence to bully Lin Chen and Ann Lan.

And now they have the audacity to play the victim?

"Old Master Sun, the behavior of your family is truly revolting."

"You're not only cold-hearted towards your own granddaughter, but you're also experts at twisting the truth."

"So the Suns can bully others, but no one can give you a taste of your own medicine?"

Zhang Yongnian let out a cold snort, stepped up to Lin Chen, and mocked Old Master Sun to his face.

Confronted with Zhang Yongnian's unfiltered scorn, a flash of indignation crossed Old Master Sun's eyes.

In front of this crowd, Zhang Yongnian was essentially pointing at his nose, publicly denouncing the Sun family as shameless!

"Old Zhang, haven't you ever heard the saying, 'a crooked beam leads to a crooked house'?"

"The shameless nature of the Suns is written all over Old Master Sun's face."

Vice-chairman Liu shook his head, his expression one of regret.

Just a moment ago, Lin Chen effortlessly dispelled Chung Yu's formidable aura.

That alone convinced Vice-chairman Liu of Lin Chen's extraordinary capabilities.

With him here, they were in no danger today.

So why worry at all?

"Vice-chairman Liu, Master Zhang, do you truly intend to become adversaries with the Sun family over two trivial figures?"

Old Master Sun's hands, hidden within his sleeves, were clenched tight.

His murky eyes blazed with fury.

He hadn't anticipated that even with Chung Yu, his ace in the hole, Lin Chen and Ann Lan still managed to rally support.

Witnessing Vice-chairman Liu and Zhang Yongnian standing steadfastly by Lin Chen's side, he recognized their alliance.

He turned to Lin Chen with a mocking sneer, "Lin Chen, it seems I've sorely underestimated you."

"I regarded you as nothing more than an ant, easily crushed underfoot."

"Yet here you are, commanding the respect of Vice-chairman Liu and Master Zhang to stand with you!"

Old Master Sun's gaze shifted to Ann Lan, his voice tinged with regret, "Alas, against the Chung family, neither the Liu nor the Zhang family holds sway."

"Today, if you wish to leave the Sun residence unharmed, their support alone won't suffice!"

With Old Master Sun's words hanging in the air, Chung Yu stepped forward, fists ready, advancing towards Lin Chen, Vice-chairman Liu, and Zhang Yongnian.

"This is it, the end of the line."

"What are Vice-chairman Liu and Master Zhang thinking?"

"With Chung Yu stepping in, they still resist. Is it worth provoking the wrath of both the Sun and Chung families for two nobodies?"

"Indeed. Lin Chen might have produced a genuine piece by Master Kunlun, but does that justify such staunch defense from the Liu and Zhang families?"

"If he were Master Kunlun himself, maybe then it would make sense..."

"Enough with the chatter. Haven't Vice-chairman Liu and Master Zhang made it clear? They simply won't tolerate the Sun family's oppression."

"What good does that do? With Chung Yu as the Sun family's powerful ally, forget the Liu and Zhang families,"

"They'll soon have the run of A City!"

The onlookers cast sympathetic glances towards Vice-chairman Liu and Zhang Yongnian, as well as Lin Chen and Ann Lan.

Without Chung Yu, Vice-chairman Liu and Zhang Yongnian might have been able to quell the Sun family's influence.

It's a pity, but there are no "what ifs" in this situation!

Today, these individuals are fated to be utterly crushed by the Sun family.

"Xiao Cheng, just a lesson for Vice-chairman Liu and the Zhang Family Head will suffice."

"As for that couple, break their arms and legs."

Old Master Sun, feeling the formidable aura emanating from Chung Yu, had a spark of excitement in his eyes.

"Grandfather, Chung Yu assures you the task will be done."

Chung Yu turned and gave Old Master Sun a solemn nod.

"Vice-chairman Liu, Zhang Family Head, I entrust my wife and children to your care."

"And leave that damn fatty to me."

Lin Chen stepped forward, addressing Vice-chairman Liu and Zhang Yongnian with a calm demeanor.

The tension was palpable; a fight could break out at any moment.

In the corner, a girl in a green dress stood, her delicate face etched with a chill.

She rose without a moment's hesitation.

Facing the Suns, she spoke with an icy tone, "The Liu and Zhang families don't make the cut. How about my Su family from the capital?"

Following her voice, all eyes turned to see Su Qingyin, exuding an ethereal presence, as she gracefully entered the fray, accompanied by a stooped old woman.

"The Su family from the capital?"

"Judging by this young lady's presence, her family must wield considerable influence."

"Is that... Su Qingyin, the heiress of the capital's Su family?"

"Indeed, it must be her. That unique aura of immortality is unmistakable!"

"Man, you talk a big game. So, enlighten us about the Su family's prestige in the capital."

"The Su family's reputation? Let me put it this way: they're one of the capital's seven illustrious families!"

Upon hearing this, the other guests' faces turned pale, their eyes wide with astonishment.

One of the capital's seven major families?

Even those who didn't grasp the full implications knew enough to understand the significance of the capital—it's the nation's heart!

Being one of the seven major families in such a pivotal place speaks volumes of the Su family's formidable nature.

In that instant, all eyes converged on Lin Chen and Ann Lan.

With the Su family's daughter stepping in on their behalf, what extraordinary background could this couple possibly have?

"The Su family from the capital?"

In the midst of the gathering, Old Master Sun shuddered slightly upon seeing Su Qingyin's icy demeanor.

He could scarcely believe that Lin Chen and Ann Lan, whom he regarded as mere ants, were acquainted with the daughter of the esteemed Su family from the capital!

But what of it?

Su Qingyin hailed from one of the capital's seven illustrious families, and Chung Yu was from another.

Should a confrontation arise, it was anyone's guess who would emerge victorious.

"Miss Su, as the scion of the Su family, surely you wouldn't confront the Suns and the Chungs over a couple of ants, would you?"

With Chung Yu by his side, Old Master Sun stood a bit taller, his voice carrying a newfound assurance.

Today, if Lin Chen and Ann Lan were to leave the Sun residence unscathed, it would be a disgrace to his family—a prospect Old Master Sun found utterly intolerable.

"Patriarch Sun, you refer to Lin Chen and the others as ants."

"Does that imply that you view Qingyin as insignificant as well?"

A flicker of indignation sparked in Su Qingyin's eyes.

Even setting aside her personal connection to Lin Chen, the Sun family's high-handed bullying alone was enough to compel her to intervene.

"Brother Lin Chen?"

Old Master Sun's pupils constricted at the mention of the name.

Sun Xue and the others were not only stunned but also seething with anger.

Their thoughts mirrored Old Master Sun's: Lin Chen was nothing but a nobody Ann Lan had picked up. How could his connections be so formidable?

"Chung Yu, what are you doing standing there?"

"Come here this instant!"

Su Qingyin let out a cold laugh as she watched Old Master Sun quickly regain his composure and sharply rebuked Chung Yu.

She saw right through Old Master Sun's petty calculations.

He was clearly hoping that with Chung Yu present, he could measure up to her.

Well, if that was his game, she was ready to dash any hopes he had for the Sun family.
