Chapter 14 I’m Thirsty

Before Su Beishan spoke, the mid-aged man announced, “My master sent me here to invite an important guest. I apologize if I’ve interrupted you.”

Although he apologized, his tone and behaviors were full of pride.

The Su family was still panicked.

“If not mistaken, you are Mr. Wu from the Tie family, right?” Su Yukun asked gingerly.

His guess trembled others’ hearts again.

There were so-called first-class families in Stillwater, and the Tie family was a super clan behind them all.

The Tie family kept lowkey, but everyone knew they were the most influential in Stillwater.

On the contrary, the Su family was one of the third-class families.

‘When did we offend the Tie family? Will they kill us all?’

Ignoring Su Yukun, Wu Shan saw Qin Tian surrounded by several men.

After darting an intense look at him, Wu Shan announced, “Lady Ningshuang, please come in!”

The bodyguards made their way, and a young lady entered the hall.

She wore a tight, purple dress that perfectly showed her curved figure. However, she looked stern.

She was a stunner, but no one had the guts to even covet her.

“Miss Tie?” Su Wencheng shook violently, rushing toward her.

He asked excitedly, “A-Are you here to invite me?”

Su Wencheng was a famous dandy in Stillwater.

He met Tie Ningshuang once. Since then, he had missed her all day and all night.

No woman could be compared to her in his heart.

He always dreamed that Tie Ningshuang could have a crush on him. Even if he needed to marry into her family like Qin Tian, Su Wencheng would accept it as he and his family would become wealthier and more powerful.

Therefore, even though he had no fate with Tie Ningshuang, Su Wencheng created many opportunities to encounter her.

He heard that she always practiced kung-fu in a valley, so he pretended to be an outdoor expert to encounter her and confess his love to her.

However, Tie Ningshuang never felt touched.

Su Wencheng didn’t expect her to come to the Su residence in person.

He wondered if Tie Ningshuang had pretended to be so cool in front of him or if she had rejected him because she was reserved.

‘Will she accept my love today? She’s so bold! She even came to invite me in person.’

Su Wencheng’s words surprised Su Beishan.

He didn’t know when his grandson had hooked up with the granddaughter of the Tie family.

Su Yukun and his wife were overjoyed. Their daughter managed to marry into the Wu family, which was an almost first-class clan in town.

If their son married Tie Ningshuang, they would be indeed lucky.

Su Beishan walked to Tie Ningshuang personally, bowed at her, and said, “Miss Tie, I’m Su Beishan, Wencheng’s grandfather. Welcome!”

“Your grandfather is always my role model.”

Su Yukun added, “Miss Tie, I once had dinner with your father.”

“Mr. Tie treated everyone equally. He also made a toast with me.”

Other people in the Su family returned to their senses, looking overjoyed. They started fawning over Tie Ningshuang, flattering her.

Tie Ningshuang stood motionlessly, like a celestial from Heaven.

Frowning, she looked slightly disgusted because the Su family members had sickened her.

However, she wanted to ask Qin Tian to help, and he was Su Beishan’s grandson-in-law. Therefore, she couldn’t offend them.

She nodded patiently in response and said to Su Wencheng, “I’m here to invite someone, but not you.”

Then she stopped in front of Qin Tian.

“My grandfather sent me to invite you to our house.”

All the others were shocked. Only then did they recall Wu Shan asking about Qin Tin before entering the hall.

They had never expected Tie Ningshuang to come here to invite Qin Tian, wondering when he had gained the Tie family’s favor. They looked baffled.

Su Wencheng hurriedly yelled, “Haven’t you heard Ningshuang’s words, Qin Tian?”

“Did you offend Ningshuang? If you did, I’d never let go of you.”

Yang Yulan also gaped, disdaining Qin Tian for being a troublemaker.

He had offended the Su family, which already frightened her. However, he even insulted the Tie family.

Panicked, she chimed in, “Miss Tie, I’m Qin Tian’s mother-in-law. What on earth has he done to offend you? I will apologize on his behalf.”

Tie Ningshuang glanced at her and then at Su Su in the wheelchair, a light flashing through her eyes.

She realized that Su Su must have been that legendary beauty in Stillwater.

Somehow, she felt jealous and wanted to vent her anger on Qin Tian.

When she saw Qin Tian standing still, she prompted in irritation, “It’s urgent. Hurry and leave with me.”

Qin Tian chuckled. He pulled a chair and sat down next to the table.

“Even if the president asks me for help, he won’t have the guts to be so arrogant.”

“Who do you think you are?”

“What!?” Tie Ningshuang was too angry to utter a word.

She had to admit that Qin Tian was a charming man. He wasn’t simply good-looking but handsome and manly.

Remarkably, his eyes were calm, intense, and clinical. Seemingly he could see through everything.

They were also like pools full of secrets. Tie Ningshuang felt like drowning and couldn’t help searching for more.

However, she became sickened when staring at his face.

“What do you want me to do?” she asked patiently, thinking of her mission.

“I’m thirsty,” Qin Tian responded.

Tie Ningshuang was taken aback, her gaze falling on the teapot and teacups on the table. She wondered if Qin Tian wanted her to serve him a cup of tea.

She was unwilling. In her life, except for her respected elders, she had never served anyone.

Not to mention Qin Tian was only a humble son-in-law in such a small family.

Qin Tian’s attitude toward Tie Ningshuang annoyed Su Wencheng. He roared while rushing to him, “Are you tired of living, Qin Tian?”

When Su Wencheng was about to grab his hair, Qin Tian only gazed at him calmly.

“Fuck off!” Tie Ningshuang slapped Su Wencheng away.

Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly poured tea into a teacup.

“Can we leave now?”

Qin Tian asked, “Hold it.”

“What!”

Tie Ningshuang’s eyes sparked anger flames. She decided to teach him a lesson later.

Holding the teacup impatiently, she smashed it onto the table in front of Qin Tian.

Qin Tian drawled, “I don’t like looking up at someone when speaking.”

Tie Ningshuang blushed in anger.

Gritting her teeth, she respectfully bent over and served the tea to Qin Tian. Then she said sincerely, “Please have the tea, Mr. Qin.”

When she bent over, Qin Tian was attracted by the revealed white skin under her tight dress. His eyelids twitched slightly.

“Let’s go,” he sneered. Instead of taking over the teacup, he pushed Su Su’s wheelchair out of the hall.
