The Chen family of Modu?
As the drivers loudly announced the identities of the approaching visitors, the dozens of people gathered at the entrance of the Su family all froze.
The Chen family of Modu, the foremost of the Seven Noble Clans in the coastal economic zone.
The Seven Noble Clans south of the great river had always kept their distance from the noble clans north of the river; in fact, they had formed a distinct north-south confrontation (within the noble circle) with the entire northern noble clan group through their collective strength.
And Chen Zhoushan, the head of the Chen family, was known as "Southern Chen, Northern Zhao" alongside Manager Zhao, who was based in Sijiu!
Then.
Why would the Chen family of Modu suddenly pay a visit on such an important day for the Su family's reopening?
No!
It wasn't a visit.
What kind of visit would involve driving a car so fast?
Ignoring the etiquette and customs of the circle, they drove their cars directly to the entrance of the Su family.
Even Shen Huiteng and Elder Tang's cars stopped fifteen meters away from the Su family entrance and refused to go any further.
Driving directly to the entrance was equivalent to slapping the Su family in the face!
What's more outrageous—
Almost everyone in the world knew that today was the auspicious day when Su Nanyin, after many years, was reopening the original Su family in Sijiu.
But when the drivers announced the arrivals, they specifically mentioned "Mr. Qianfan."
And they placed Su Nanyin, the head of the family, after Li Qianfan's name.
What did this represent?
It could only mean that the Chen family of Modu regarded Li Qianfan as the head of the Su family; and Su Nanyin, the true head of the family, as Li Qianfan's appendage (or perhaps even his mistress)!
For Su Nanyin, this wasn't just a slap in the face.
It was like hanging her up on a tree and then whipping her severely with a belt!
Deep within Su Nanyin's eyes, a tyrannical glint immediately surfaced, but she remained silent.
Du Junlin's face changed drastically, and he instinctively rolled up his sleeves, ready to step forward.
But Su Nanyin stopped him in time by grabbing his wrist.
Today.
This was undoubtedly the most important day of Su Nanyin's remaining life.
Because she had, after many years, re-established the Su family.
On such an important day, there absolutely could not be any bloodshed.
Otherwise, it would be inauspicious.
The most crucial point was—
Su Nanyin wanted to see how Li Qianfan would handle the current situation!
Elder Tang, Zhao Tingshan, Murong He, and even Su Nanyin's father from Qingyun frowned.
However, everyone understood that they were guests.
As long as the troublemakers didn't cause any fatalities, they could not step in for the Su family.
Doing so would overshadow the hosts and would not be good for the Su family either.
As for Shen Huiteng and the others—
After their initial surprise, their hearts were filled with joy!
As the saying goes: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Therefore.
Even though the Chen family of Modu had "crossed the line" by coming to Sijiu to stir up trouble, greatly diminishing the face of the northern noble clan circle (especially the Shen family of Sijiu, known as the leader of noble clans); in exchange for the Chen family helping them to severely step on a certain little beast and a certain slut, Shen Huiteng and the others could only be happy.
In a flash, Shen Huiteng even made up his mind: "Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to join forces with the Seven Noble Clans and deal with this pair, who bear the musical notes."
Finally, they looked at Li Qianfan—
Everyone, including the four beauties of the Su family, subconsciously looked at Li Qianfan.
This was enough to prove.
In the minds of these people, Li Qianfan was the true head of the Sijiu Su family!
Li Qianfan, with the most infuriating smile, looked at Chen Er as he stepped out of the car, showing no sign of anger.
"They've hung up his mistress and are whipping her. Even so, he can still remain calm?"
Shen Huiteng and the others thought: "I understand! He clearly realizes that after offending my Ten Great Noble Clans and losing allies (like the Gao family), he doesn't dare to oppose the Seven Noble Clans of Jiangnan anymore. Because he knows very well that if he does, he will be completely isolated with no room for development! Therefore, no matter how furious he is, he can only endure."
Is this what Li Qianfan was thinking?
No one knew.
But Uncle Kui and the others, standing by his side, sighed in their hearts with distress as they saw him still smiling: "Even if he can replace the head of the Lingnan family and protect the young lady, he still lacks the dominance and power of the Lingnan head. If Master Shen hadn't retired, who would dare to insult the young lady like this?"
At this moment.
Uncle Kui and the others had mixed feelings.
Li Qianfan paid no attention to how others viewed him.
He simply stood quietly by Su Nanyin's side, watching the cars.
The subsequent six cars followed, with their drivers loudly announcing.
"Mr. Kang Zhiyuan of the Kang family of Modu, pays his respects to Mr. Qianfan and Ms. Nanyin!"
"Mr. Zhou Suming of the Zhou family of Modu, pays his respects to Mr. Qianfan and Ms. Nanyin!"
"The Ma family of Modu—"
Chen, Kang, Zhou, Ma, Ji, Yuan, Qian.
The "Second Gentlemen" of the Seven Noble Clans in the coastal economic zone had come together today to congratulate the Sijiu Su family, with whom they had no prior interaction, on their grand reopening.
However, all seven drivers who made the announcements placed Li Qianfan's name before Su Nanyin.
This was enough to prove.
It wasn't a slip of the tongue, but a deliberate act!
"Why are the Seven Noble Clans of Jiangnan doing this?"
Shen Huiteng and the others recalled an incident: Ma Hongtu of the Ma family of Modu was also Secretary Chen's secretary, and his limbs were brutally broken by Li Qianfan's men in the early morning two days ago.
Li Qianfan knew he had beaten Ma Hongtu.
But the Seven Noble Clans acted together, sharing honor and shame.
They had come to cause trouble today!
"Good, good, good."
Shen Huiteng and the others rejoiced in their hearts: "The little beast and the slut have finally offended the entire noble circle of the Eastern Land. Ha, ha, ha. As the saying goes, those who lose righteousness lose support. Now, it can be predicted that this pair, bearing the musical notes, will not have many good days left to frolic. Whether the so-called Sijiu Su family can survive until this time next year remains to be seen."
As joyous as the heads of the Ten Great Noble Clans were, so worried were Elder Tang, Zhao Tingshan, and the others for Li Qianfan.
Finally.
The Second Gentlemen of the Seven Noble Clans of Jiangnan all alighted from their cars.
They stood calmly before their cars, looking at Li Qianfan and Su Nanyin, awaiting their welcoming steps.
"Uncle Kui."
Li Qianfan finally spoke, "Picking Flowers, Picking Hearts; Three of Clubs, Six of Diamonds; Nine of Spades, Chen Dong, are you all here?"
"Here!"
Chen Dong and Three of Clubs answered first.
Li Qianfan then said, "Drag those seven drivers over here. Remember, drag them, not invite them!"
Invite, everyone could understand.
Drag?
It meant grabbing someone by their hair, or shoulders, arms, and legs, and pulling them forward along the ground.
"Li Qianfan intends to start a major conflict on this special day!?"
Elder Tang, Zhao Tingshan; Shen Huiteng and the others, especially the Second Gentlemen of the Seven Noble Clans, all changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Su Nanyin's lips, however, curved upward.
This was the Li Qianfan she had strived to support!
If Li Qianfan didn't act like this, he wouldn't truly be sharing the Empress's honor and disgrace.
Just now.
Li Qianfan hadn't acted because he wanted to see how many drivers dared to insult him and Su Nanyin!
Seven drivers—
Therefore, Li Qianfan had also dispatched seven people!
Du Junlin, upon hearing this, became a little anxious: "Why not me?"
Wang Zhe instinctively rolled up his sleeves: "Old Li, I like doing this kind of thing."
Xiao Hui, husband and wife singing in unison: "Yes, yes, yes."
But before Li Qianfan could say anything.
Nor before the others present could react—
Chen Dong and the others, who had been seething with anger, their eyes lit up. Before Uncle Kui could make a move, they rushed towards the drivers.
Du Yaoya, with somewhat reddened eyes, also wanted to rush forward.
But Li Qianfan said, "Yaoya, you are responsible for using the soles of your shoes to slap their mouths fiercely. Make them understand that while one can eat anything, one cannot say anything recklessly."
