Xiao Su Nuo’s soft and glutinous voice was incredibly cute. As he spoke his thoughts out loud, the content of his words was both touching and amusing. Perhaps this is the most sincere and pure aspect of a child, so endearing it makes one feel sowhat ashad.
After paying their respects to the Buddha, and possibly making so vows, everyone enjoyed a vegetarian al at the temple and then rrily returned to the large residence. By this ti, guests who were visiting had gradually arrived, and Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran together received many visitors, only managing to steal so free ti in the afternoon to return to their own small building.
On the third day of the lunar year, the Su family gathered, or more precisely, the underworld forces of the Su family gathered. The heads of the Su family’s power from all over the world, as well as the elite mbers within the Su family’s influence, all ca to A City to attend the annual grand gathering of the Su family.
As for this gathering, not all Su family mbers were required to attend. For example, Su Yanyi had not participated in the past few years, and Qin Jiran was only aware of such a eting this year. Father Su was responsible for hosting the gathering, while Big Brother Su assisted in managing the reception of the people.
The private club that Su Yanyi once took Qin Jiran to was the venue for the gathering. It was a spacious and private place where mbers could indulge and spar without attracting too much attention. You see, these mbers all belonged to the underworld forces and were well-practiced in martial arts; inevitably, they would want to test their skills when gathering together.
And Su Yanyi, having trained for a long ti, did so just to attend this gathering. There were several childhood friends who grew up with her, who are part of the particularly combative bunch, and of course, Su Yanyi herself was no exception.
"There are a few annoying people inside, just ignore them," Su Yanyi earnestly instructed Qin Jiran before they entered.
Qin Jiran was curious. Although Yanyi said she found them annoying, there was no sign of dislike in her expression. Instead, there was a sense of eagerness, as if she had t a worthy opponent, which piqued Qin Jiran’s interest.
Su Yanmo glanced back at the two and also chid in, "Don’t fight too fiercely."
Su Yanyi paid no heed to these words, not even glancing at Su Yanmo, but Qin Jiran instantly understood Su Yanmo’s point and looked at Su Yanyi with a trace of helplessness. No wonder Yanyi was in such a peculiar mood since early morning, becoming even more excited upon their arrival here. It turned out it was because of the prospect of a fight. He hoped that when the fighting began, it would only go as far as necessary, and no one would truly get hurt.
Qin Jiran had never attended such a gathering and didn’t know how far things might go. Although concerned, he didn’t say much, but he made sure to stick with Su Yanyi, ready to protect her no matter what.
Today, the club had ceased operations for the public. The reception staff at the door were insiders; when they saw mbers of the Su family, they imdiately straightened up and greeted them with their heads bowed, showing great respect. Those who could attend the gathering were all considered direct descendants of the Su family, many of whom the Su family had taken in from childhood. Naturally, they felt both grateful and respectful toward the Su family mbers.
The Su family group went directly to the wild field plaza behind the club, where hundreds of people had already gathered, dressed in various outfits, mingling in small groups. Upon the arrival of the Su family mbers, they all imdiately stopped what they were doing and stood up straight, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at the Su family.
"Alright, no need to be so formal, you’ve co back for the New Year, just relax," Father Su said, not needing a loudspeaker, his voice strong and loud enough for everyone present to hear.
