Chapter 201 - I Will Handle All Other Matters
Su Huiqing never imagined that she would be going against the Dugu Family, one of the big three in the International Association, so soon.
She had calculated every step of her plan precisely.
First was to develop the Su Family properly and to get each and every single one of her badges back.
The final step was to return to Unknown Island.
As for the big three, they would never notice an ordinary family like the Su Family.
She expected to only deal with other mediocre-level powers.
By the time the big three noticed her, she would not need to fear either one of them.
But it seemed like it was impossible for her to remain hidden now.
“Mother.” Su Huiqing held Su Ruohua’s hand, her expression calm and resolute. “From now on, you just need to sit in your office and calculate our profits. Or you can also go play mahjong with the other housewives, or go for a walk with Empress Su. I will handle all other matters in future.”
For the first time in her life, Su Huiqing realized she might have been wrong.
She finally understood what was truly important in life.
She wanted to move discreetly, to secretly gather power and make herself more formidable. For the sake of Unknown Island, and for the sake of those comrades who were guarding Unknown Island with their lives, waiting for her return.
But what about the Su Family?
She had created a prosperous position for the Su Family in Green City and fulfilled her promise to let them lead worry-free lives.
She herself had grown up in the International Association and was used to the constant struggle for life and death here, as well as the activities of the big three.
These were all normal things in her eyes.
She wasn’t even particularly bothered by the Dugu Family, as she had once stood in a position as high as Dugu Heng’s.
As a result, she didn’t feel that the Dugu Family had reached a level where they could easily squash the Su Family.
But she never thought of how the Su Family, having come from a remote place like Green City—how anxious and fearful they must be to be at a place like the International Association.
No wonder the mere presence of that insignificant Master Chen was enough to make Su Zhi back off.
No wonder those people dared to behave so audaciously right in the Su Corporation’s own lobby, and Su Zhi didn’t even dare to challenge them.
No wonder Su Ruohua was now offering to sacrifice herself and stay behind to endure the wrath of the Dugu Family.
This was because they held a certain level of fear and awe toward the International Association.
Su Huiqing lowered her eyes.
In the International Association, all ordinary newcomers who wished to stabilize their positions here had to pour in all efforts to endure, yield and succumb.
Su Zhi and Su Ruohua had clearly managed to do that.
Su Huiqing didn’t wish to see Su Ruohua or any one of them bowing their heads low before the International Association.
Just like how it was before at the start in Green City, Su Ruohua and Su Lun had remained steadfastly beside her.
Who cared if the entire world believed she had pushed Shen Anan.
The Su Family people had stood by her.
It was her turn now.
Su Huiqing drew back her hand and slowly wound the silver wire around her own wrist. She sent a message to Su Chu: Address: Brilliant Restaurant, level three, private room S8.
She had informed Su Chu and his men yesterday so they should be here already.
“Qingqing, don’t do anything foolish.” Su Ruohua patted Su Huiqing on the shoulder with a bitter smile. “I know you have your own opinions and ideas now, but you cannot be impulsive under such circumstances.”
She was well aware of where the Su Family stood.
An arm would never be stronger than a leg. If this was the ancient times, they would belong to the common classes, while the Dugu Family were the royal family.
Under normal circumstances, Su Ruohua’s actions were the most reasonable and would result in the least amount of damage.
Overhearing the conversation, the Dugu Family matriarch lifted her chin and gazed at Su Huiqing with scorn and ridicule.
Did she think the International Association was like that remote little place where they came from? Did she really think the International Association was so easy to handle?
Just wait until her son Dugu Heng arrived. She looked forward to seeing these two people plead with her, crying tears of shame and regret!
Footsteps sounded outside the door at this moment. Someone bearing the seal of the Dugu Family entered and executed a proper military salute. “Madam, the Master has arrived.”
The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes lit up.
