Back at Zhenxi Pavilion, Ye Heng was only slightly sweaty.

The most troublesome part of the journey is not the distance, but controlling one's posture and trying not to be discovered by ordinary people.

Therefore, he usually takes public transportation when traveling in the city center.

This is what his master taught him.

Once you embark on the path of spiritual practice, it means you're no longer in the same world as ordinary people.

Ordinary people should not be dragged into the disputes among cultivators unless absolutely necessary.

Ye Heng knocked on the door, and it was immediately opened.

But when the door opened, it wasn't the family's nanny, but a woman with a plump and elegant appearance.

She wore a navy blue cashmere turtleneck sweater, the delicate cashmere surface flowing with a warm luster, the loose silhouette relaxed yet still structurally sound.

She carries an emerald green velvet clutch, the rich emerald hue creating a striking color contrast with her navy blue knitwear.

He almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

"Who are you?" Ye Heng asked.

The couple's eyes swept over him from head to toe, their contempt undisguised.

"You're Ye Heng?"

"it's me."

"My name is He Ling, but I don't think you need to know. You just need to know that I am Su Yingxue's mother."

Su Yingxue's mother?

"Hello, Auntie," Ye Heng greeted her instinctively.

Unexpectedly, this displeased He Ling.

"How dare you call me 'Auntie'? Don't think that just because you've bewitched my grandfather, you can actually marry Su Yingxue. Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

Seeing that Ye Heng did not react, she continued talking to herself.

"I know you happened to save the old man, but that was because Doctor Lu treated him first; you were just the final push."

"Moreover, our Su family is considered a prestigious family in Nanjing. Even if it's a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, he should at least have a degree from a 985 university and a good position in a listed company."

"You're just a wild child who came from the mountains. To say you were born into humble circumstances would be an understatement."

"Xiaoxue's agreement to the marriage is only due to the old man's demands. It doesn't mean you'll actually have a chance to enter the Su family. I advise you to get rid of those inappropriate thoughts in your mind as soon as possible."

Ye Heng smiled.

In terms of birth, he was the eldest son of a top-tier wealthy family in the Great Xia Kingdom. In terms of ability, even the head of the Spirit Department had to treat him as an honored guest, not to mention his unparalleled and bewitching medical skills!

He Ling took a check out of her small bag and threw it on the ground.

"There's two million in here, more than you could ever earn in your lifetime. I need you to tell the old man that you're willingly giving up on this marriage!"

Ye Heng didn't even look at the check before preparing to go inside.

He Ling thought he was complaining that it wasn't enough.

That's true. As long as he pleases the old man, he can not only secure the marriage but also get a good job. Ye Heng definitely wants to stay in the Su family!

"Here's three million, that should be enough!" She pulled out another bill and threw it at Ye Heng's face.

Ye Heng still didn't glance at it.

She gritted her teeth, took off a bracelet from her wrist, and waved it in front of him.

"This is a top-grade jadeite bangle, worth at least two million, five million in total—enough to buy your worthless life!"

Ye Heng shook his head; he could tell.

He Ling was convinced that he would stay at the Su family's house and not leave, but in fact, he was just trying to repay the kindness of Old Master Su.

He knew that while the Su family was rising through the ranks in the business world, they had also offended countless people.

If he leaves, and Su Changhong encounters danger again in the future, he will regret it.

When He Ling saw Ye Heng stop, she assumed that he had finally fallen for her and couldn't help but sneer.

"As expected, he's just a greedy, despicable piece of trash, a poor bastard who was easily dismissed with a few million."

"He put on quite a show at first, but when five million was thrown in his face, his spine broke. Well, he's a mountain man; he'd never even know what five million looks like in his entire life."

But Ye Heng didn't take the bracelet at all; instead, he stepped on the check.

"You really think I care about five million? Forget five million, even if you gave me fifty million or five hundred million, I wouldn't care about your little bit of money!"

"It is an honor for the Su family to meet me. You only have the right to speak to me because of Old Master Su."

After saying that, he walked into his room without looking back.

He Ling was trembling with anger outside.

How dare this country bumpkin talk to her like that?

Who does he think he is?

An honor for the Su family?

Are you kidding me!

What utterly shameless talk!

She walked quickly to Ye Heng's door, ready to call him out and make this country bumpkin pay for his words.

But then, a phone call came in.

She was furious, and in her heart she was cursing who was so blind as to make a phone call at this time.

I was just about to unleash a torrent of abuse when I noticed the name "Jin Hong" written on the contact.

His face lit up with a smile, and his previous anger vanished instantly.

"Hello, is this Young Master Jin?"

"It's me, Auntie."

He Ling found it very pleasing.

In her view, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries like Jin Hong were qualified to call her "Auntie".

If it were Ye Heng, it would only make her feel that her status had been degraded.

She forgot that she was just a common girl back then, who became a celebrity in Jinling by chance after meeting the eldest son of the Su family.

"I'd like to have dinner with Yingxue. What do you think? Is she available?"

"By the way, isn't the Su family competing with the Chu family for the same project recently? I can talk to Chu Wei, the head of the Chu family, and ask the Chu family to withdraw from this competition."

He Ling was overjoyed; indeed, this was the son-in-law she should have.

Instead of being a parasite that can't help at all and only sucks blood at home.

With just one sentence, the Su Group eliminated its biggest competitor!

"Of course! I'll ask Xiaoxue and give you an answer before noon tomorrow."

Upon receiving Jin Hong's call, He Ling was overjoyed and immediately went to the underground parking garage to find Su Yingxue at the Su Group.

Ye Heng? Compared to Jin Hong, he's not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

She couldn't be bothered with him anymore.

Once things are settled between Young Master Jin and Su Yingxue, Young Master Jin will naturally take care of his own affairs.

Whether she's thrown into the sea to feed the fish or used as a human pillar at a construction site, that's none of her business.

Su Group, President's Office.

Su Yingxue sat on the sofa, her cold and beautiful face full of fatigue.

Recently, the Su family has been competing with the Chu family for the same company's order, and the deadline is fast approaching.

Su's only advantage is its advanced technology and the better performance of its products after production.

However, the key projects for Su's products have not yet been completed; they are merely castles in the air.

The Chu family, with its abundant capital and extensive network, has a greater competitive advantage.

Previously, due to the serious illness of the Su family patriarch, she had accumulated a large backlog of documents that she had not processed.

We can't handle it all at once today; we're completely overwhelmed.

She had just closed her eyes, preparing to take a nap, when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Xiaoxue, it's me."

"Come in, the door's open."

Su Yingxue looked at He Ling as she entered, but she didn't see the same joy her mother had shown.

Because He Ling is not her biological mother, but her stepmother!

She couldn't say she liked this person, nor could she say she disliked him.

"Xiaoxue, Young Master Jin would like to invite you to dinner." He Ling, thinking that Su Yingxue might not know Jin Hong, added, "Young Master Jin works for the Jinling Municipal Government, and his father also holds an important position."

"You know I don't like participating in these pointless things..."

Before Su Yingxue could finish speaking, He Ling immediately said:

"Young Master Jin said he has a way to get the Chu family out of the competition and let the Su family win the project!"
