Chapter 604 - 270: The Understanding Empress Xino?

If the crowd had thought Xu Yun was joking before, not quite believing this was a family matter...

But now, with that one sentence, all their doubts were immediately dispelled.

Faced with Xu Yun’s unwavering tone, the club manager and President Ma glanced between the two men and chose to silently stand aside.

Xino, however, thought Xu Yun was incredibly dominant in that moment. So manly!

Ever since she’d known Xu Yun, he had always been the picture of a nice guy, greeting everyone with a smile. Today, she was finally seeing his domineering side.

’That’s more like it,’ she thought. ’This fits the popular image of a domineering CEO.’

However, hearing Xu Yun publicly admit that this guy’s sister was his woman still made her a little unhappy.

At the same time, she was also very curious. ’What does this woman Xu Yun mentioned even look like?’

’Could she be prettier than I am?’

As for the man at the center of it all, Su Zhi’an, things were different. He wanted to resist, but after glancing at the threatening golf club in Xu Yun’s hand, he hesitated and ultimately chickened out.

’After those two hard slaps, it’s clear this guy is a ruthless bastard who isn’t afraid to get physical.’

’It’s fine,’ he thought, trying to console himself. ’Even the great general Han Xin had to endure the humiliation of crawling between a man’s legs. I’ll just bear with it for now! A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.’

After consoling himself with that thought, Su Zhi’an, filled with humiliation and resentment, immediately knelt.

"If you had dared to resist and refused to kneel just now, I might have actually respected you a little,"

Xu Yun sneered. "But now I see. A spineless, brainless ’little darling’ like you is going to run your father’s fortune into the ground sooner or later!"

"..." Su Zhi’an.

"Now, call your sister. Tell her to come get you."

Xu Yun continued, "And remember, you can only leave when she gets here. If she doesn’t come, you can just stay here kneeling until we’re done with our game."

"..." Su Zhi’an.

With that, Xu Yun turned to Xino and smiled. "Alright, let’s get back to our game. Ignore him."

"Okay."

Xino shot Su Zhi’an a pitying glance, then smirked. "I told you to apologize, but you wouldn’t listen. You even had to provoke him. Look where that got you. Serves you right."

"..." Su Zhi’an.

And so, Xu Yun and Xino resumed their game of golf. The manager and President Ma, unsure whether to stay or go, simply found a place to sit nearby.

Meanwhile, Su Zhi’an picked up his phone and called his sister, Su Mu.

He was a blubbering mess. "Sis, you have to come save me!"

At that moment, Su Mu was in a company meeting.

When she saw her phone vibrating on the desk, she glanced at the screen. Seeing it was her step-brother, she immediately switched her phone to silent.

She ignored it and continued with the meeting.

Half an hour passed. When the meeting finally ended, Su Mu picked up her phone and saw that her step-brother was still calling her incessantly.

’Did something happen to Dad?’

’The old man’s health had always been poor due to his heart condition; otherwise, he never would have considered taking a backseat and handing over control of the company.’

She answered. "Hello? What is it?"

Su Zhi’an’s anguished voice came through the phone. "Sis, why weren’t you picking up!"

"My phone was on silent. I didn’t hear it."

Su Mu said curtly, "If you have something to say, spit it out. I’m busy. I don’t have time to waste like you do."

"Xu Yun beat me up."

Su Zhi’an immediately pleaded, "You have to come save me!"

’Xu Yun hit him?’

Su Mu frowned. "Why would he hit you?"

"How should I know?"

Su Zhi’an shouted in a rage, "Just get over here! If you don’t, he’s going to kill me!"

"Then let him."

With that, Su Mu mercilessly hung up.

’I believe Xu Yun would hit him,’ she thought.

’But I don’t believe he would kill him.’

’Besides, is that any way to ask for help?’

Back at the golf club, Su Zhi’an knelt on the ground, listening to the dial tone in a dumbfounded daze. He was at a complete loss.

Xu Yun asked with faux concern, "So? Is your sister coming or not?"

"She hung up on me."

Xino shook her head. "With an attitude like that, I’d hang up on you too if I were your sister."

"So what am I supposed to do?"

"If you don’t want to keep kneeling, then call her again."

Xino scoffed, "Let’s just hope your sister still has a soft spot for you."

"..." Su Zhi’an.

A few minutes later, Su Zhi’an started to lose it.

Before, she just wasn’t picking up. Now, the call wouldn’t even go through.

He looked at Xu Yun, aggrieved. "My sister blocked my number. I can’t get through."

"What’s that got to do with me? Figure it out yourself."

Xu Yun shrugged. "All I know is, if your sister doesn’t show up this afternoon, you’re going to keep kneeling until I decide to leave."

"..." Su Zhi’an.

Just as Xu Yun was turning to resume his game with Xino, his phone rang.

It was Su Mu.

"Looks like it’s your lucky day. Your sister is calling me."

Xu Yun answered with a smile. "Hey, Sister Su."

"Where are you?"

"Me?~"

Xu Yun glanced at Su Zhi’an, who was still kneeling on the ground, and replied, "I’m at the golf club, just playing a round with your little brother."

Everyone: "..."

"Okay, I’ll be over soon."

As soon as Xu Yun hung up, Su Zhi’an eagerly asked, "Is my sister coming? What did she say?"

"Have you no manners? Don’t you know how to address someone properly before you speak?"

Xu Yun said, "You want to know? Then call me ’brother-in-law’ first."

"B-Brother-in-law!"

Su Zhi’an gritted his teeth and forced out the words in a low voice. "Is... is my sister coming?"

"And why would I tell you?"

Su Zhi’an: "..."

Although Xu Yun had just played him, he was furious but didn’t dare to say a word.

Half an hour passed like this. Su Zhi’an felt as if his legs no longer belonged to him; the initial pain had given way to complete numbness.

Just as he felt he couldn’t hold on any longer, Su Mu suddenly appeared.

She scanned the scene, realizing she knew everyone present. To her surprise, even President Ma was still there.
