As the words fell, Su Tian's family completely collapsed. They slumped to the ground, convulsing and wailing.
Then, Su Ba turned to Su Muwan, who had remained calm throughout as if everything was under her control. He remarked with a gentle expression: "Su Muwan is truly a priceless gem of our Su Family."
"Not only is her cultivation remarkable, but she has also uncovered the treacherous ambitions within our clan."
"I, this old man, hereby announce that the position of the Su Family's next heir... shall be Su Muwan!"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was shocked and lost color.
Just like that? It was decided?
Qin Luo instantly appeared beside Su Muwan, taking the lead in applauding and shouting: "Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
Seeing this, Shen Fei and Su Muwan's other followers joined Qin Luo in cheering:
"Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
"Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
"Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
Zhu Lan was also happy for her young mistress.
The young miss has... finally reaped the rewards of her efforts!
Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
The applause erupted.
The entire banquet hall was forced to join in clapping and shouting.
"Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
"Miss Su! Beautiful and talented! Well-deserved!"
Uncle Xu, who had been in the crowd, never had a calm expression.
He looked at Su Muwan in disbelief.
What?
It was... decided just like that??
I still had so many tricks up my sleeve!
Su Bailian's mind was equally blank.
Huh?
Wait, how did she become the next head of the Su Family just by slapping two faces?
Why? Based on what??
Just because her follower knows how to slap faces??
Su Bailian bit her fingernails, looking at Su Muwan resentfully.
Su Muwan, I don't accept this!!
The position of Su Family head should have been mine!
She then looked at Qin Luo.
Her eyes suddenly lit up with realization. I see now.
This is all because you have a good follower.
In that case...
I'll just go and recruit one too, won't I?
Hmph, whatever you have, I must have too.
And... it has to be even better than your follower!
Amidst the clamor, Qin Luo sidled up to Su Muwan and whispered: "Young Miss, congratulations on becoming the head of the Su Family."
"Now, is the next step to drive out all those who don't submit to you from the Su Family?"
Su Muwan clearly hadn't yet processed becoming the Su Family head.
Her mind was buzzing, completely blank.
Hearing Qin Luo's voice, she stiffly turned her head to look at him.
She blinked.
Huh?
Wait, I've just become the next head of the Su Family?
This isn't how it was written in the book, is it?
Shouldn't I have faced countless difficulties, then demonstrated my abilities, engaged in verbal duels...
And only then become the head of the Su Family?
That's how it happened in my past life after the old man died.
How come in this life...
I've speed-run the family storyline instead?
Su Muwan was dumbfounded. What the hell, I just watched Qin Luo slap people around for three days.
And then, I became the family head?
Su Muwan looked at Qin Luo in shock.
You, Qin Luo, you really are the protagonist, aren't you?
Although you've been a bit flamboyant.
But...
She listened to the continuous cheers and praises around her.
Ehe... No... Just hold it for one more minute... No... Thirty seconds and I'm going to burst out laughing...
Awesome, this feels amazing, is this what it's like to have the protagonist by your side?
She strongly resisted the urge to cackle out loud, then patted Qin Luo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Well done, what do you want?"
Hearing this, Qin Luo's mouth curled into a smile. He shook his head loyally and said: "Young Miss, this is something I should have done. No reward is necessary."
This villain is indeed considerate, knowing to offer him a reward.
Seeing this, Su Muwan knew that giving a reward to a loyal follower like Qin Luo would be an insult to him. Although she had her own principles, Qin Luo had his too, so she didn't insist: "Then forget it."
Qin Luo: ?
And during all this commotion.
Everyone had forgotten about one person.
That person was...
Yuwen Hua was kneeling on the ground, his face flushed red.
Why... haven't they released me from this constraint yet.
...
....
An hour later.
The family banquet ended.
Whoosh—
A taxi slowly pulled up at the entrance of the Su Family mansion.
"Waa waa waa, you bastard, I should never have married you!"
"Stop talking, let's hurry back."
"Dad, do we still have a chance to return to the Su Family?"
"Sigh..."
Since all of Su Tian's family's cars were Su Family property and had been reclaimed, Su Tian's family left in a taxi.
Whoosh—
Another taxi slowly pulled up at the entrance of the Su Family mansion.
"Hmph, the humiliation your Su Family has brought upon me today, I will surely report to my parents!"
The gentleness had disappeared from Yuwen Hua's face.
Only anger and resentment remained.
Since he had arrived in Su Tian's family's car, he now had to take a taxi to the airport.
He dragged the unconscious Elder Mo into the taxi and left.
Seeing the two troublesome groups finally leave, Su Muwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew~
It's finally over.
This day has been exhausting.
"Miss, it's a pity we didn't see you on stage at this family banquet."
"Otherwise, you would surely have been the star of the show."
Qin Luo immediately started flattering her.
The old tradition of the Su Family's annual banquet was martial arts competitions.
Qin Luo had thought that given Su Muwan's personality, she would have eagerly jumped on stage, pointed at everyone below and shouted [I want to fight ten at once!]
Hearing this, Su Muwan pursed her lips. She looked up at the sky, her eyes full of the color of growth, and sighed: "Qin Luo, your young miss is no longer a child."
"These family competitions should be left to the younger generation."
In her past life.
She had naturally been arrogant beyond measure.
She had jumped directly onto the competition stage, pointed at everyone below, and arrogantly activated her taunt skill.
[You bunch of weaklings, I'm giving you a chance to challenge me all at once. Be grateful, the opportunity to compete with me is already your supreme honor]
These words naturally made everyone's face burn with anger.
Anyway.
A good woman doesn't dwell on past glories.
Su Muwan indicated that she had kicked the habit of being arrogant.
Of course.
The most important reason was...
Su Muwan endured the pain in her body. Ouch...
I exerted myself too much, causing the cold energy to start gnawing at my body again..
Tsk... Should I ask Qin Luo to give me a couple of acupuncture treatments later to see how it goes?
Qin Luo nodded with a smile: "The young miss is indeed a role model for our generation, truly someone who could be written into the history books of humanity."
Ehe, that's too exaggerated, but I like hearing it.
"Sister Su, are you going back now?"
At this moment, Su Bailian's soft voice came over.
"My good daughter, you've become the next family head, why are you still going back to that villa?"
This was followed by the voice of Su Muwan's mother.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan turned around.
They saw Su Lingtian, Ning Qingxuan, Su Ba, Su Bailian, Uncle Xu, and a dog approaching.
"Woof!"
Boqi saw Qin Luo and happily wagged its tail as it ran over.
Seeing this, Su Bailian cursed inwardly, you damn lapdog!
Still licking up to someone after being slapped!
