Ye Xiu had also thought that a woman as elegant and talented as Sister Youruo would probably come from a wealthy family, but he never thought that Sister Youruo would come from the Su family in southern Jiangsu.
The Sunan province is located in the east of Longteng. It is one of the richest provinces in the Longteng Kingdom, and the Sunan Su family is the most wealthy family in southern Jiangsu.
Even when the Longteng Kingdom was still an empire, the Su family was already the number one wealthy family in southern Jiangsu. Together with Long, Lin, Bai, Qi, Chu, and Qin at that time, they were also called the seven most powerful families in the empire. The Longteng Republic was able to transition from an imperial country to a republic.
, it was these seven wealthy families who joined forces to resist the Ye family, the royal family at that time.
However, after thousands of years, only four wealthy families are left among the seven wealthy families back then, and among them is the Sunan Su family.
In the past hundred years, the Su family has produced two heads of state, as well as countless frontier officials such as state pastors, provincial governors, and generals.
This is definitely the top wealthy family in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Compared with the Su family, the four major martial arts families in Shuzhou are just like beggars on the street. Even all the wealth that Ye Xiu has now is just a drop in the bucket compared to the Su family! When he was a child,
Sister Youruo, who has always been bullied, comes from such a top wealthy family. How could this not shock Ye Xiu?
"How's it going? Are you scared?"
Seeing Ye Xiu's rare expression of shock, Su Yuyan smiled softly, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth.
"You seem to hate the Su family?"
Ye Xiu didn't pay attention to Su Yuyan's ridicule. Anyone who found out that his relative who had lived with him for several years was a member of the Su family would probably have the same expression as him.
However, he keenly caught Su Yuyan's angry expression when talking about the Su family! "Hate?
Haha, do I dare to hate?"
Su Yuyan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Of course she hates it, but what's the use of hating?
Everything about her comes from the Su family. Without the Su family, she is nothing. What right does she have to hate the Su family?
But when she thought of the indifference shown by the Su family to the sister who loved her the most, her heart felt like a knife.
Her mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her, and her indifferent father did not feel too sad and just married a new wife indifferently.
And her sister, who was twelve years older than her at the time, became everything to her.
It was under the care of her sister that she grew up step by step, but when she was seven years old, her sister fell in love.
She was very happy for her sister at that time, but who knew that it would be the beginning of her sister's tragedy.
First, she gave birth to a child out of marriage, was kicked out of the family, and later was abandoned by that cruel man.
At only twenty years old, she has become a single mother.
Ordinary people, in such a situation, may be able to support themselves with their own hands, but she is the daughter of the Su family. Not only did the Su family not give her any support in life, they even secretly sabotaged her to punish her for what she had done.
offered her all job opportunities.
Even though he quietly ran to help his sister once, he was dragged back home by his cruel father and was severely punished.
After all, my sister couldn't bear the hardships of life and died of illness.
Only You Ruo, who was less than three years old, was left, and this poor child was not recognized by the Su family. They completely ignored her life and death and left her to fend for herself.
She hated the Su family and the man who abandoned her sister.
But, what's the use of hating?
When she was still young, what else could she do except endure it silently?
The seeds of hatred have been planted long ago, but Su Yuyan knew that she had no chance of revenge, or even the qualifications to seek justice for her sister from the Su family and that cruel man.
When she grows up, the most likely possibility is that she will be the product of a marriage and marry into another wealthy family.
Who would have thought that when she was ten years old, the priest of the family discovered her talent, and because of her martial arts talent, she became his disciple.
She knew that this was her chance to change her destiny. In order not to become a product of marriage, she could only practice hard and improve her strength so that she could become a useful person to the Su family.
With her efforts, she gradually stood out among the younger generation of the Su family. By the time she reached adulthood, she was already a master of the Seventh Innate Realm. Because of her cultivation, she had a small amount of power to choose her own life.
.
At least, she doesn't have to be the product of marriage like other women in the family.
But she also understands that being born into a wealthy family like the Su family, there is no absolute freedom at all. Only by proving her worth to the Su family can she grasp the limited freedom.
Over the years, she has worked hard to improve her cultivation while doing various things for the Su family. With her astonishing talent and hard work far beyond ordinary people, she has entered the Su family's circle of power.
Even her status in the Su family has surpassed that of her indifferent father.
But the more this happened, the more she understood how difficult it was for her to seek justice for her sister and retaliate against the family.
Maybe even after all her life-long efforts, she still won't be able to achieve it.
Su Yuyan was actually a little desperate. It wasn't until the rise of the Xingyao Consortium and when she saw Ye Youruo who looked almost exactly like her sister that her desperate heart came to life again.
Especially after getting to know the young man beside Ye Youruo, named Ye Xiu, she rekindled her hope.
Ye Xiu didn't know that Su Yuyan had already begun to pay attention to him, but she had been watching with cold eyes, even if Ye Xiu's rise was extremely fast, even if the Shining Star Consortium won the "Light of Hope" project, even if Ye Xiu gathered around him
He has defeated many financial groups, but to fight against the Su family with such power is to hit an egg with a stone.
It wasn't until Ye Xiu relied on his strong strength to destroy the Ximen family, and until the Xingyao Consortium stood at the top of Shuzhou, that Su Yuyan really began to pay attention to this young man who depended on Ye Youruo for life.
In her opinion, only Ye Xiu, who is standing at the top of Shuzhou, can hope to help her get justice for her sister.
It's a hope, not a qualification, it's a hope that can be realized! And asking Ye Xiu to go to the desert to find this blood jade is just a test for him.
Once he dies in the desert, everything will stop, but if he can come back alive, he will be qualified to know all this.
Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows, wondering why Su Yuyan felt like she hated the Su family so much since she was from the Su family.
"Would you like to hear a story?"
Seeing Ye Xiu's suspicious look, Su Yuyan put away her self-deprecating smile, smiled lightly at Ye Xiu and said.
"you say!"
Ye Xiu nodded. He vaguely felt that this story might be related to Sister Youruo...
