Chapter 367 A Man's Declaration
Wu Jinjun, after being kicked away by Su Chen, was filled with rage and wished nothing more than to tear this person to pieces!
However, after Su Chen spoke those words, a trace of embarrassment and guilt flickered across his face!
No matter what, Ye Mei was after all his own flesh and blood, even though he had never really held this daughter in his heart.
But in the Wu Family, he had never had any real say; everything about the Wu Family was decided by his mother.
Moreover, his nature was somewhat weak, and his fear of the old Mrs. Wu had already seeped into his marrow, so naturally he dared not go against the old lady.
Even if he did have a say, he would have made the same decision as the old Mrs. Wu, after all, having a connection with the Situ Family of Yandu was a rare opportunity!
What's more, he never had much affection for his daughter Ye Mei, at most occasionally heaving a sigh in the still of the night!
"Since when has it been your turn to meddle in the affairs of my Wu Family?"
The old Mrs. Wu roared with her hair in disarray, looking quite fierce, her demeanor less majestic and more like a shrew cursing on the street.
Seeing the old Mrs. Wu in such a state, Ye Mei let out a deep sigh, knowing that the feud between the Wu Family and Su Chen had grown deep and reconciliation was no longer possible!
She held little affection for the Wu Family, especially for this old Mrs. Wu; she was only worried about Su Chen!
The incident had happened too quickly! When Su Chen slapped the old Mrs. Wu the second time, she had not been able to react!
By the time she reacted, the old Mrs. Wu had already been slapped to the ground!
At this point, there was no room for turning back for either party!
"I have no interest in the affairs of your Wu Family, but Ye Mei's business is my business."
Hearing the words of the old Mrs. Wu, Su Chen swept a cold gaze over the people in the room, then spoke coldly to the Wu family members:
"I warn you, Wu Family, if you dare to force Ye Mei to marry into the Situ Family, you'd better think about the consequences!"
This was a man's proclamation!
Dominant! Arrogant! Proud!...
Everyone felt a shock like they had never experienced before!
Those swept by Su Chen's gaze felt a shiver, as if he were a supreme sovereign!
His words were the law, they were everything!
The onlookers were dumbfounded as Su Chen pointed at Old Lady Wu's nose and verbally assaulted her as if she were no more than an old dog!
They all murmured among themselves—Old Lady Wu really was senile!
The young man had gone this far, and she still asked if he truly intended to be an enemy of the Wu Family.
It seemed Old Lady Wu had been on her lofty pedestal for too long, utterly unable to accept this fact!
Hearing Su Chen point blatantly at Old Lady Wu's nose and insult her, the Wu Family members all felt disgraced, wishing they could just burrow away and hide.
Even Wu Jingui and Wu Yuanli, who had been relatively silent, felt the same, as they were also part of the Wu Family and had longed thrived on its power and dominance!
Given everyone else's reactions, one could only imagine the turmoil churning inside Old Lady Wu!
Her face had turned utterly dark, nearly dripping with anger, but under the fiery red Palm Prints, her complexion was less noticeable, trembling with excessive agitation!
"What are you waiting for?"
Old Lady Wu shouted again at the person in the purple robe:
"Dispose of this arrogant boy!"
"Yes!"
Truth be told, the purple-robed man was wary of the young man's earlier moves, but with Old Lady Wu issuing the order again, he had to comply!
The purple-robed man stood facing Su Chen, releasing his oppressive aura all at once!
Although he was just the third leader of the Wu Family's mysterious guard, he was also at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement. As he released his profound energy, everyone immediately felt as if something was weighing down on them, making even moving their feet difficult!
However, such pressure was no different from a tickle to Su Chen...
The purple-robed man saw the young man's unconcerned demeanor, and sarcastic gaze, which ignited his fury!
He let out a fierce shout, stepped on the marble floor, and charged forward violently, leaving cracks on the marble where he had just trodden!
His speed was so swift that others could only see a blurred shadow flash by!
When he reached Su Chen, he leaped up high, delivered a sideways leg sweep towards Su Chen.
His leg, akin to a cannonball, shattered the void, whipped up a strong wind, and prompted a sharp whistling sound!
Watching the swiftly swooping leg sweep, Su Chen remained expressionless and simply kicked out straight, with no fancy moves...
