Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Jealousy
The elderly waved their hands, saying, "We’re not exaggerating. It’s all true. Xiao Su, you better not take the kids with you abroad, it’s too dangerous."
It’s hard enough that they’ve just returned, and now they’re leaving again; how can the elders be at ease?
"Old leaders, Qi Yan and the three others are studying for the bar exam, as they want to become lawyers in the future. Next time, if there’s a situation like this, they can take charge."
"How old are they?"
"Old leaders, this is their own interest." He didn’t want to explain more.
After the lunch, Su Yuanyuan called the children to meet the elders.
The three of them were well-liked by everyone. Shao Huade was envious, wishing he had such grandchildren. After all, who wouldn’t like such kids?
Shao Hongming and Tan Shaoting sat together. They had dealt with each other before but weren’t really familiar. Both had cold expressions, making everyone at the table cautious.
The people having lunch here weren’t ordinary, so they knew these two. They were not to be provoked, not having actual high positions but wielding real power, and engaging in professions everyone feared.
There was no communication between the two, which made others feel they were at odds, seemingly adversarial.
Tan Shaoting still recalled the sight of that person lusting after his wife.
Now, back with his wife, he allowed her to forget him but never allowed anyone around with eyes on her.
Shao Hongming felt a persistent tightness in his heart, aching from time to time.
Yes, he thought of giving up because Su Yuanyuan gave him no chance. But this was different from having to give up because her man had returned.
Tan Shaoting was indeed excellent; he admitted that, but he didn’t think he was much worse.
He had lost the advantage; when he thought he had a chance, she wasn’t interested, and then this man came back.
After the lunch ended, everyone moved to the front hall.
They chatted in small groups, catching up. Gathering was indeed rare.
Tan Shaoting directly went over to his wife and children.
The elders looked at this outstanding man, thinking it was normal for him to have such remarkable children.
Shao Huade looked at Tan Shaoting and sighed internally, wondering if his son would finally give up.
Su Yuanyuan introduced the old leaders to Tan Shaoting with a smile.
At this time, Tan Shaoting had a gentle smile, giving off a harmless vibe.
But these were seasoned elders familiar with life and death; though they’d never met Tan Shaoting before, they knew of his deeds.
They held a favorable opinion of him mainly because of the trouble he caused in Japan, which was very satisfying.
Others might not know, but they understood the situation clearly.
The elders actually preferred to let it be known that one of their own did it. But in today’s world, Xiao Su advised subtly.
Tan Shaoting gained their approval.
The couple was now seen as the trendsetters; everyone wanted to befriend them. The two of them had power and could investigate them.
Who wouldn’t fear that? Even if they couldn’t get close to them, they wouldn’t want to become enemies.
Su Yuanyuan gave a rough assessment of these over fifty people, noticing some with despicable behavior. She’d pass this to Tan Shaoting; it could help him establish his footing.
By three in the afternoon, the banquet concluded. Those who felt a connection arranged separate meet-ups.
The Su family had no time left, needing to depart early the next morning.
All five lawyers were ready, eagerly anticipating this expedition.
They were particularly looking forward to the performance of Qi Yan and the siblings.
Minister Su had already told them just to do their best in this lawsuit.
However, knowing Minister Su, he likely didn’t expect solely the courtroom to determine victory.
Qian Zhifeng wasn’t going; Su Yuanyuan would bring Bai Yucheng, along with the Li siblings, all notified and packed for the morning flight.
The family returned home, with everything packed. Su Yuanyuan had two personal assistants, but Tan Shaoting brought no one, taking charge of safety himself.
"Mom, will you wait for us to finish the exam?"
"Of course, but we might not wait for your results. I’ll leave Secretary Bai there; I’m confident in you. He’ll bring back your certificates."
The family of five laughed. There really wasn’t much difficulty.
Su Yuanyuan had read through the five legal codes and focused on studying Japan’s laws.
They were preparing for compensation, but first, signing an agreement was crucial since she didn’t trust them.
Su Yuanyuan particularly disliked the Japanese in her past life, a genuine disdain.
"Mom, Aunt Xiao Yun must be too excited to sleep now."
Su Yuanyuan laughed at her daughter’s remark, "Isn’t that the case? You never asked why I’m so kind to the Li Family.
Actually, their parents have been contributing to the country, living in seclusion for almost twenty years.
They left their elderly father and newborn child to help strengthen our country, preventing others from bullying and despising us.
That’s why I do my best to care for them."
"Mom, do you know where they are?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Your dad might find out in the future, but that’s classified, even if aware, can’t be mentioned.
It’s already exceptional of me to tell the grandparents that their son and daughter-in-law, the parents, are still alive."
"Mom, we’ll treat them well in the future too."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, patting Qi Yan’s head, "Don’t be too deliberate; just act with a clear conscience."
Tan Shaoting knew his wife had a soft heart. Though she displayed toughness, she was easily touched.
That night, the family stayed in, with Tan Shaoting cooking porridge at home, albeit with Spirit Rice. In this world devoid of Spiritual Energy, it was hard to cook.
After two hours, the family finally had dinner.
Qi Yan and the siblings were at the Qi Refining First Layer now; they ate it often before, but after this meal, they immediately started their cultivation.
