It was none other than Su Yuxin, accompanied by several of her friends.
Clearly, they were heading in to watch the competition, as they were holding tickets.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked, completely oblivious to Jiang Shaolong standing by the side.
Jiang Shaolong glanced around, then strode over and called out, "Su Yuxin!"
Su Yuxin turned and saw Jiang Shaolong. Her heart skipped a beat, especially when she saw his appearance. Instinctively, she took two steps back.
She never would have imagined that Jiang Shaolong, who had been so full of vigor just half a month ago, would now be in such a state.
If he hadn't called out to her, she might not have recognized him at all.
What's more, that million-yuan debt still hadn't been settled!
"Sis..., Jiang Shaolong!"
Su Yuxin had been a little worried, but seeing her friends beside her, she quickly regained her composure and said haughtily, "What are you doing here?"
"I can't be here?" Jiang Shaolong sneered, "Su Yuxin, it's time you paid me back the money you owe me!"
That million yuan was nothing to the former Jiang Shaolong, of course.
But to him now, it was a colossal sum, an unimaginable fortune.
He had already sunk to the point of picking through trash for food. Since he had run into Su Yuxin, he wasn't going to be polite.
"What money? When did I ever owe you money?"
Su Yuxin flatly denied it, sneering, "Jiang Shaolong, do you still think you're my brother-in-law? I'm telling you, my sister has dumped you, the one who was locked up!"
"You still think you're the young master of the Jiang family? The Jiang family has fallen. You're not even as good as that good-for-nothing Chen Fan now!"
Su Yuxin's words were like sharp thorns piercing Jiang Shaolong's heart.
Jiang Shaolong's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Just tell me, are you going to pay me back or not?"
He didn't expect to get it all back, but even a portion would be enough for him to buy a ticket into the exhibition center.
"Don't dream. That money is long gone. Besides, you didn't say it was a loan when you gave it to me." Su Yuxin said fearlessly, "You've got no money, what can you do to me?"
The Su family members beside her also burst into laughter.
"Jiang Shaolong, you still think you're Young Master Jiang?"
"If it wasn't for Sister Yingxia bailing you out, you'd still be rotting in jail. Not only are you ungrateful, but you want money too? Are you worthy of it now?"
"Young Master Jiang, you've truly become a beggar, haha!"
"Do you know? You're not even as good as a dog now!"
...
Hearing the mockery from the Su family, Jiang Shaolong clenched his fists, his right hand tightly gripping the knife in his pocket. He felt like he was going mad.
Back then, weren't all the young members of the Su family fawning over him, trying to please him?
Su Yuxin especially, called him "brother-in-law" incessantly, as if she wanted to take her sister's place.
Now, their faces were uglier and more disgusting than one another.
"You're forcing my hand!"
Jiang Shaolong said viciously, then pulled out the fruit knife and pointed it at Su Yuxin and the others.
Su Yuxin and the others were startled and instinctively took a few steps back.
But Su Yuxin quickly recovered and sneered, "Oh, Jiang Shaolong, you've got a knife? You want to stab someone? Someone like you, would you dare?"
The others also regained their senses and burst into laughter, not particularly afraid of Jiang Shaolong drawing a knife.
After all, Jiang Shaolong used to appear refined and gentlemanly in their impression.
His sudden transformation had made them less fearful of him.
Moreover, this was in broad daylight, with so many people watching. They didn't believe Jiang Shaolong would actually act.
Even if he did, they had so many people, they didn't need to fear him.
Jiang Shaolong hardened his resolve and was about to lunge at Su Yuxin.
Just then, a steady voice called out.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yuxin and the others turned and quickly greeted him, "Third Uncle!"
"Third Uncle!"
"Third Uncle!"
The others also greeted him respectfully.
It was Su Yuhua and his party.
Besides him were Su's father and mother, as well as Su Yingxia and other core members of the Su family.
The Su Group was in the apparel industry, and this designer competition was closely related to the Su family's business.
Furthermore, with Su Yuhua's return, the Su family no longer lacked funds. If they found suitable designers, they could readily hire them for the Su Group.
In other words, Su Yingxia and the others were here to scout for talent.
However, Su Yingxia's expression was not very good. She asked blankly, "Jiang Shaolong, what do you want?"
Jiang Shaolong's body trembled.
Facing Su Yingxia again, he felt a surge of hatred.
However, along with the hatred, there was shame, embarrassment, and anger, and a desire to turn and flee.
A man, at his lowest point, never wants a woman to see him.
Jiang Shaolong was no exception!
Even though he harbored considerable hatred for Su Yingxia now, he still felt this way.
He looked at Su Yingxia with shame and anger, tightening his grip on the fruit knife.
It was as if this fruit knife had become his everything.
"He's Jiang Shaolong?"
Su Yuhua glanced at Jiang Shaolong and said plainly.
Su Yingxia nodded, embarrassed and annoyed.
He was her second ex-husband, and his current state was hardly a source of pride.
However, Su Yuhua had appointed her as the president of the Su Group, so he was naturally aware of her past.
He was also well aware of the feud between Jiang Shaolong and Chen Fan.
As Jiang Shaolong's expression flickered, Su Yuhua suddenly smiled and said, "Put the knife away. What kind of scene is this?"
Su Yuhua's voice seemed to possess a special magic, giving Jiang Shaolong a sense of security. He unconsciously put away the fruit knife.
"Yingxia, you all go in first. I'll have a chat with Mr. Jiang," Su Yuhua then instructed Su Yingxia and the others.
"Third Uncle?"
Su Yingxia was puzzled.
"Dad, he has a knife!"
Su Yinghua, standing behind Su Yuhua, reminded him.
"It's nothing."
Su Yuhua waved his hand and said, "Also, get me a few tickets!"
Su Yingxia was surprised but still handed two tickets to Su Yuhua.
Su Yuhua turned and walked towards the parking lot. Seeing that Jiang Shaolong hadn't moved, he stopped and called out with a smile, "Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Shaolong's expression changed, and he finally walked over.
The two arrived outside a Bentley, with bodyguards standing by the car door.
Jiang Shaolong hesitated upon seeing them.
Su Yuhua opened a box and took out an item, handing it along with the tickets to Jiang Shaolong.
Jiang Shaolong was stunned. He could feel that the item in his hand was a gun.
