Su Muxue was surprised. After she came back to her senses, she said, “Then I might as well guarantee my own safety. You can just give me the money that you used to hire Mo Qing.”

Su Yuanwei: “Of course, but the prerequisite is that you can beat her.”

“Well, this is a difficult problem, but it’s not like I can’t try.”

Hearing Su Muxue’s words, the other three all laughed. Who didn’t know that Miss Su couldn’t even pass her 800-meter physical fitness test?

Otherwise, why didn’t the rumors say that she was “all brawn and no brains”?

But, Su Muxue was a little confused. Su Yuanwei was just an ordinary entrepreneur, how was he able to hire a person like Mo Qing to ensure the safety of his daughter?

Someone like Mo Qing was definitely not someone that could be hired with just money!

The next day, Su Muxue called Old Master Tan in advance and made sure that he was resting at home before the family of four traveled to the Tan family home.

Although Old Master Tan lived in a standalone house too, the interior design of it was far better than that of the Su family villa.

The small bridge, flowing water, and the bamboo garden seemed simple, but everything revealed that the owner was extraordinary.

The four members of the Su family were led by the servants to the main courtyard. They said, “Old Master Tan is waiting for you inside.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Old Master Tan was waiting at the door. Behind him were a man and a woman who looked like husband and wife.

“Dad, the Su family is here to visit you. Why did you come out to welcome them? I’ve never heard of how influential the Su family of Linqing is. Is it really good for you to show them so much respect?”

The man who spoke was Tan Lang, Tan Xu’s second son. The woman beside him was his wife, Liu Chuxiang.

Tan Lang was right. After all, when an influential figure from the capital city came to visit in the past, Tan Xu also waited in the house calmly. He has never waited at the door like this time.

Wasn’t this a different way of being disrespectful to them?

What would they think if they heard this?

“Hmph! I’m here to welcome the youngsters I like. It’s not the same as those who come to beg me.”

Tan Xu looked at Tan Lang unhappily and grieved. Tan Lang might look like this, but he was already one of the rare few of his children that were presentable.

If the others were to come over, the situation would be even worse!

“Alright, later, speak less and do more. If I don’t give you instructions, you don’t need to speak!”

Upon hearing this, Tan Lang was furious, but he did not dare disobey.

Liu Chuxiang comforted Tan Lang and said gently, “Dad, don’t be angry. The Su family should be arriving soon.”

“Yes.” This daughter-in-law was quite sensible.

The Su family hurried over and saw a white-haired, hale, and hearty old man.

“Old Master Tan.”

“Young lady, you made an elderly man wait so long!”

If he wasn’t waiting here, he wouldn’t have to listen to his son’s irrelevant words.

Both sides greeted each other, but to everyone’s surprise, Tan Xu directly greeted Su Muxue.

Su Muxue was surprised, but she didn’t show it on her face. She smiled as if she had already expected it, she was graceful and poised.

The three members of the Su family looked at each other. They did not know when their child had grown to such an extent that she did not even flinch when meeting her seniors.

Tan Xu introduced Tan Lang and Su Yuanwei to each other. When they sat down, he dragged Su Muxue to sit beside him.

“Dad, isn’t it inappropriate for a child to sit right next to you?”

Liu Chuxiang gritted her teeth when she saw Tan Xu’s attitude towards Su Muxue. Her child had never sat beside the Old Master before!

“You said so yourself, she’s still a child. Isn’t it the same no matter where she sits?” Tan Xu pressed Su Muxue down and stopped her from moving.. He turned to ask her, “Young lady, are you afraid of sitting next to an old man like myself?”
