Kapitel 26: Du Family Banquet
Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the end, Su Yingxue turned off the live broadcast amid the screams of the many buyers.
The old master of the Treasure Pavilion almost smashed his phone.
It was not because he could not buy it, but that Su Yingxue had handled the treasure in his eyes carelessly. Fortunately, she was stopped in time by Chen Hao, or else he would have fainted from anger.
Su Ze went to the bathroom. When he came out, Su Yingxue ran to his side and looped her arm around his as she begged, "Great-grandfather, I have never been to the Du family. Can you go with me? I'm a little scared."
The Du family was very wealthy. They had specially invited her to a banquet, which made Su Yingxue extremely nervous. Even though Chen Meiling would go with her, she was still nervous.
She mulled over it for a long time and decided to beg Su Ze to go with her.
With Su Ze by her side, the Du family would focus their attention on him, and she'd feel less nervous.
"Didn't you ask Meiling to go with you? Why do you still want me to go?"
"Little sister, don't be afraid. The Du family are easy going and open-minded since its members went abroad to study when they were young. You'll be at ease in their presence," Chen Hao said. "During the dinner, the Second Master will introduce them to you."
"Great-grandfather, can you go with me?" Su Yingxue pleaded, "I've never been in such an occasion and don't know how to deal with it."
Chen Hao also looked expectantly at Su Ze.
If Su Ze agreed, then the Du family would be very happy.
After all, the Du family and the other three families were already on the decline.
It would gradually fade away after the generation of Second Master Du passed away, which was why Duan Ji wanted to reestablish the relationship with Su Ze.
Second Master Du knew Su Ze's temper and only dared to befriend Su Yingxue.
To them, Su Ze's status was too high for them to reach.
One had to know that Du Yuesheng was only his outer sect disciple back then. He belonged to a marginal faction which wasn't important at all.
Thanks to his relationship with Su Ze, the Du family gradually had grown powerful under the protection of a large faction back then.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Du family, Su Ze was their benefactor.
But to Su Ze, he acknowledged them only because Du Yuesheng, who was 15 years old at the time, had give him a ride with a rickshaw.
The so-called friendship was just Du Yuesheng's wishful thinking and he had put it into the family records.
The ambitious figures of the Du family were humble before Su Ze. They just hoped that they could receive approval from their master and become his official disciples.
"You don't have to do anything. Follow your heart," Su Ze said to Su Yingxue, "You don't have to suck up to them. Take it as a meal with friends. There's nothing to be worried about. The Du family wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
"Great-grandfather..." Su Yingxue didn't release his robe. "Please go with me. It's you who made me befriend the Second Uncle. You should finish what you started."
"Still you have to go without me." Su Ze rolled his eyes at her. "If I went with you, this dinner would be different."
"Why?" Su Yingxue did not understand.
"Fine, fine." Su Ze could not stand her anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Go and get ready. I'll go with you."
"Really?" Su Yingxue was overjoyed. She hugged him and said, "Great-grandfather is the best. I'm going to put on makeup and change my clothes."
Su Ze nodded. "Go."
Chen Hao picked up Su Ze's painting and said, "Sir, I'll get someone to frame this painting."
"Take it to the auction. Sell it for Xiaoxue." Su Ze nodded.
"Okay." Chen Hao took the painting and walked out of the villa.
Then, he called Second Master Du.
"Hello?"
Chen Hao quickly said, "Second Master, Old Master Su said that he's going to your house for dinner."
"What?" Second Master Du raised his voice. "Grand-master is coming. Are you sure?"
"Yes, Xiaoxue doesn't dare to go to the dinner alone and begged him to go with her," Chen Hao said.
"That's Great." Second Master Du was extremely excited. "Okay, I'll make some preparations."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Then, he walked out of the bedroom and went down the stairs. He said to the Du family members who had already gathered in the hall, "Today, we won't hold a banquet in our house. Go to the best restaurant in Jiangbei City and book the entire place. Then, inform the other three families!"
"Grandpa, it's just a dinner for a descendant of the Su family. Wouldn't it be a waste to book the entire restaurant?" Second Master Du's son asked casually.
"Grand Master will come!" Second Master Du glared at him.
Then, he said to his second eldest son, "Go and make the reservation now. I want the best restaurant. You know, back then, when the emperor with plaits invited Grand Master to dinner, all the civil and military officials went to accompany him. They had a Man Han Feast."
When the du family members heard that it was a banquet for the Grand Master, they were all shocked. When they heard their grandfather mention the big occasion back then, they were even more shocked.
The Second Master's Grand Master.
Their great-grandfather's master!
This figure had been engraved in their memories since they had to kneel down and worship before this person's name plate in the ancestral temple every year.
In the worship ceremony, this person's status was even higher than that of the Du family's most powerful ancestor, Du Yuesheng!
The day before yesterday, all the family members had received a notice telling them to return to their ancestral house.
The reason for the big commotion was that this big shot had come.
"Come with me to pick up master. We'll go ahead of time and wait for the Grand Master," Second Master Du said to his eldest son.
His son nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Remember this. If anyone dares to leave early or not be present, I'll punish them severely!" Second Master Du stared sternly at the family members.
