Yi Liu nodded and was just about to step back when suddenly, someone in the crowd called out.

"Why hide when meeting guests?"

"Indeed, the collaboration between the Xu Family and the Yi Family is of great significance."

"All the family executives have the right to know the process of this matter."

"The Yi Family passes on its legacy through business, so please let the new Family Head meet the visitors here; the ancestors won't blame you."

…

Meng Zhigui looked around.

She saw the people she had arranged were all shouting and couldn't help but smile.

Meng Zhigui looked at Su Yinxue with a mocking expression.

Although she could not openly contend with Su Yinxue, she could use the arrival of the Xu Family to her advantage, to severely slap Su Yinxue's face.

By doing so, she prepared to weaken Su Yinxue's authority and prepare herself to seize control of the family.

Su Yinxue appeared somewhat troubled and turned her head to glance at Elder Yi, the Family Head.

The Elder nodded, "Yinxue, just meet the guests here."

"This is also a hurdle you must overcome as the Family Head."

"If you cannot fully demonstrate the wisdom and decisiveness expected of a Family Head, then not even I can help you."

He looked down at the numerous shouting family executives with a faint sigh.

"Don't blame these people; a single incompetent general can cause the defeat of an entire army."

"They are just afraid that you don't have the capability to control the entire family and bring disaster upon us all."

Su Yinxue nodded, "Okay, I will meet with the Xu Family right here."

The elderly man smiled approvingly.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"The Xu Family have wolfish ambitions and have long harbored ulterior motives towards the Yi Family."

"Feen Ziyan and Yi Jun'an, these two foolish individuals, boarded the thief's ship and now this mess is up to you to clean up."

At this point, determination flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Remember, more important than money is a family's beliefs and backbone."

"You must set an example for all the children of your clan."

Su Yinxue nodded again, turned around, and slowly announced.

"Since everyone is concerned, I will discuss the new material development with the Xu Family in the Ancestral Temple."

"I will give everyone a definite response to this matter."

Meng Zhigui widened her eyes in astonishment.

She had not expected Su Yinxue to have such courage, to publicly confront the imposing visitors from the Xu Family.

If Su Yinxue lost in the confrontation with the visitors from the Xu Family this time,

then her position as the new Family Head would be in great jeopardy.

Even if Su Yinxue retained her position as the Family Head, she wouldn't have much authority left.

By then, all the branches and offshoots could take advantage of the chaos.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhigui smiled smugly.

Yi Weibing took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"Since the Xu Family has arrived, why don't I deal with the thugs who attacked the Ancestral Temple,"

"It's better not to let outsiders see this kind of thing."

Yi Weibing had not forgotten that his Blood Eagle Squad members were still hanging from the trees.

This was a disgrace not only to the Blood Eagle Squad but also to himself.

Su Yinxue agreed.

The handling of this group of thugs had already been discussed with Yang Fei.

Since there was no way to catch Yi Weibing's handle, it was better to leave him to manage it.

Relieved by Su Yinxue's agreement, Yi Weibing immediately arranged for people to treat the Blood Eagle Squad members and sent them away as soon as possible.

At four in the afternoon, the Xu Family's motorcade slowly arrived at the Maple Forest clearing outside the Ancestral Temple.

The convoy consisted of seven vehicles, each worth over two to three million—a sign of luxury.

For the wealthy and powerful Xu Family, such luxury cars were not noteworthy.

On the contrary, the Xu Family's visitors had tried to be as low-key as possible.

Parked in the middle was a silver-gray Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Four guards in suits and wearing earpieces approached, and one of the guards opened the car door.

Within the Rolls-Royce, the first thing to emerge was a slender, fair hand.

This hand rested on the shoulder of a burly bodyguard.

Then, the handsome and elegant Xu Youshuai slowly appeared from within the car.

His complexion was pale, yet he carried himself with grace and poise.

Apart from a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, there were no other adornments on his person.

Yet, such a man naturally exuded an air of noble sophistication.

The two brothers of the Xu family, Xu Youjiang, is aggressive and unrestrained in his behavior.

But this young President Xu had always been low-profile and refined.

He had a good reputation within the industry.

Out of courtesy,

Su Yinxue, accompanied by Meng Zhigui, Yi Qionghua, Yi Liu, and other elite offspring, went out to meet them.

Yang Fei couldn't be bothered to care and helped Elder Yi, the Family Head, to the back mountain's Fish Pavilion to play chess.

Xu Youshuai's eyes instantly landed on Su Yinxue, who was surrounded by a crowd.

A strange glint flashed through his eyes.

There was hatred, fervor, and an inexplicable excitement.

Surrounded by his bodyguards, he walked towards Su Yinxue.

"Hey, Yinxue, my brother is dead, and you, the little widow, seem to be having a good time?"

He greeted Su Yinxue from afar with words that were exceedingly grating to the ear.

Such harsh, offensive language, like the babblings of a street ruffian.

It was utterly incongruous with his gentle and scholarly appearance.

"Mr. Xu, have you nothing better to do than to come here and spout nonsense?"

Yi Liu, hearing him insult Su Yinxue, immediately became furiously incensed and shouted back.

The other elite offspring of the Yi family were also filled with outrage, everyone cursing vociferously.

After all, Su Yinxue was now the Yi Family Head.

This bastard's insult to Su Yinxue was an affront to the entire Yi family.

Meng Zhigui and Yi Qionghua, along with some other scheming individuals, revealed a mocking sneer.

Such a scene was exactly what Meng Zhigui loved to see.

It was also part of the conspiracy she had agreed upon with Xu Youshuai.

Xu Youshuai seemed taken aback by the curses of the Yi family clan members.

Immediately after, his face took on a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, I get it now, Yinxue has become the Yi Family Head, her status has changed."

"My apologies, I was just joking."

This guy apologized with his mouth, but his expression was so calm, there was not the slightest hint of regret.

Xu Youshuai offered a nonchalant apology.

Simultaneously, he approached Su Yinxue and extended his hand towards her.

Su Yinxue did not reach out her hand but looked at Xu Youshuai indifferently.

"President Xu, you've traveled far; please come into the Ancestral Temple to rest."

As she spoke, she took a small step back, opening the door to the Ancestral Temple.

Xu Youshuai's hand, extended in mid-air, grasped nothing.

Yet, he didn't seem embarrassed in the slightest.

Xu Youshuai shook his hand and took a deep breath in the direction of Su Yinxue.

His face was filled with infatuation: "Yinxue, you're getting more and more beautiful, truly delightful!"

The same gesture, if done by Xu Youjiang, would be disgusting and repulsive.

But strangely, when Xu Youshuai did it, it seemed witty and humorous.

Even so, the faces of the Yi family's elite offspring

All displayed looks of humiliated anger.

Yi Liu wanted to shout and curse loudly but was stopped by Meng Zhigui.

In her eyes, there was a stern warning.

"Yi Liu, don't be impulsive; don't let a moment of anger ruin the Family Head's important affairs."

Yi Liu knew that the cooperation between the Su family and the Yi family involved an investment of over ten billion yuan, a matter of great importance.

He grumbled a curse under his breath and then fell silent.

Meng Zhigui's face, however, revealed a sinister smile.
