Chapter: 2831

Su Anshun sat enjoying a bowl of thick porridge. As he savored the slightly tough corn mash, he exclaimed with his mouth full, “This porridge made from large grains has a special flavor.”

After that, he grabbed a meat bun the size of his fist and took a big bite. Juices dripped down his chin as he discovered a piece of meat inside that was even bigger than a ping-pong ball. “It’s delicious! So good!” Su Anshun said, clearly pleased with his meal.

He felt proud of himself for completing the task his master had given him. He had helped solve an urgent issue, which felt like a big win. Now, he was just waiting for the convoy to arrive so they could take the He family to Suzhou and Hangzhou. He knew this would make his master very happy.

As he thought about all of this, He Hongsheng and He Yingxiu quickly approached him. When Su Anshun looked up and saw them, he was a bit surprised but smiled broadly. “Oh, look who it is! Yingxiu is back too! That’s wonderful! I can invite her out again. The master will be so pleased!”

Su Anshun didn’t think too highly of the He family. To him, they were just subordinates of the Su family, people who earned their place through hard work. While he was also a subordinate, he considered himself among the top of them. In his view, with so many underlings, he was the most important.

He glanced at He Yingxiu, aware that she was connected to Su Shoudao, the young master of the Su family. Although she wasn’t very well-known, she had given birth to a daughter for him, so Su Anshun made sure to show her a bit more respect.

He Yingxiu was thinking about the situation with Du Haiqing. More importantly, Du Haiqing, the wife of Su Shoudao, had decided to divorce him. After the car accident that her father planned, she would definitely cut ties with the Su family. This would give He Yingxiu a chance to speak up. But what if Su Shoudao came back someday? That could complicate things with He Yingxiu.

Because of this uncertainty, Su Anshun was trying to be nice to He Yingxiu. When He Yingxiu saw him, she greeted him with a mix of coldness and politeness. “Hello, Steward Su,” she said.

Su Anshun smiled and replied, “Yingxiu, it’s been years since we last saw each other.”

He Yingxiu nodded. “Yes, it has been a while.”

Su Anshun continued, “It’s quite a surprise to see you out and about again!”

He Hongsheng, who was nearby, interrupted. “Anshun, when you go back, please inform Master Su that the He family cannot work with the Su family this time. We hope he understands.”

Su Anshun looked confused. “Old Ho, what do you mean? The bus convoy is arriving soon!”

He Hongsheng handed back a one-billion-yuan check to Su Anshun and said firmly, “I’ve made myself clear. The He family will not work with the Su family this time. Please return this money to Master Su.”

Su Anshun became anxious and exclaimed, “Hey old man, you can’t just change your mind! We had an agreement!”

At that moment, He Yingquan, He Hongsheng’s eldest son, chimed in, “Dad! Manager Su is right. Our family always keeps our promises. We can’t go back on our word now!”

He Hongsheng replied…

“Yingquan, there’s no point in trying to persuade me,” he said coldly. “I’ve made my decision, and it won’t change!”

He then turned to Su Anshun, clasped his fists, and continued, “Anshun, when the car arrives, could you please take it back yourself? I’m very sorry, but the old man is here.”
