Chapter 245: Su Hongwen, the Style of a Great Family’s Heir
At eight o’clock in the evening, the sky was slightly dark, and the evening glow was falling at the horizon.
Li Changan came to Jiang Che’s presidential suite and rang the doorbell. After receiving Jiang Che’s permission, he directly pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Jiang Che sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, Li Changan respectfully said, “Young Master Jiang, the banquet at Qingting Villa is about to start. Would you like to go now?”
“Have the people from the capital arrived?” Jiang Che put down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at Li Changan, and asked.
“The people from the Su family and the Gu family have already arrived. The banquet at Qingting Villa will start in an hour. Shall we go now?”
“Since we have nothing else to do, it’s good to go see some old friends. Let’s go.” Jiang Che said lightly, called out to Jiang Yun’er who was lying on the bed, and directly left the hotel room.
Li Changan followed Jiang Che respectfully, not saying a word the whole time. Since his slip of the tongue in front of Jiang Che last time, Li Changan had become much smarter. When around Jiang Che, he would talk less and do more.
After coming down from the sixteenth floor to the hotel entrance, Jiang Che saw a group of bodyguards already waiting for him.
“Young Master, shall we depart?” Uncle Fu stepped out of the crowd, smiling at Jiang Che.
Behind him stood a dozen burly men in black suits, all over 1.9 meters tall. All of them wore black sunglasses, their faces solemn, giving off an impression of people who were not to be trifled with.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Che said lightly, took Jiang Yun’er’s small hand, and directly got into the Maybach parked in front of him.
After Jiang Che got into the car, all the bodyguards also got into their vehicles. The convoy headed grandly towards Qingting Villa in the city center.
After more than half an hour of travel, Jiang Che and his party finally arrived at Qingting Villa.
Getting out of the Maybach, Jiang Che looked up and surveyed the villa in front of him.
There were two stone lions placed at the entrance of the villa, looking very grand and majestic.
After looking around, Jiang Che found that the entire villa covered an area of more than ten thousand square meters, not inferior to his Wolong Villa in the slightest.
The villa was brightly lit, and people were coming and going. Many bigwigs who were usually only seen in newspapers were present today.
Jiang Che directly led his entourage into the villa. A waiter-like person saw Jiang Che coming and immediately ran over to him. He bowed and scraped, his face full of a flattering smile.
“You must be Young Master Jiang. Our Young Master Su has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me, our Young Master is in the hall.”
“You all find places to sit wherever you like.” Jiang Che looked back at his bodyguards and gave a few instructions before leading Jiang Yun’er directly towards the hall of the villa.
In the courtyard of the villa, various banquet tables had been set up to entertain people like Uncle Fu.
In this world, people were divided into different classes, and they didn’t yet have the qualifications to enter the hall.
Walking through a long corridor, Jiang Che followed the waiter into the hall.
At this time, the hall was already scattered with people, all gathered around a rectangular dining table, about thirty or so in total.
These people included various families from Tianhai City as well as heirs from major families who had come from all over after hearing the news.
They whispered to each other from time to time, discussing something quietly. Jiang Che’s eyes scanned the room and soon settled on a familiar figure.
The first among the young generation of the Su family!
At just nineteen years old, Su Hongwen was already a peak Transformation stage martial artist. He was someone all the young disciples of the Su family looked up to, even some older ancient martial arts masters were inferior to Su Hongwen.
Every time Su Hongwen was mentioned, people couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
The last time Jiang Che visited the capital, he had met Su Hongwen several times at the Su family. For this cousin who was only a year younger than him, Jiang Che had a good impression.
Although Su Hongwen was young, he was very steady, never acted impulsively, and was calm and mature in handling matters.
He did not have the arrogance typical of young people, but rather gave off a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, which made him very favored by Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng was grooming Su Hongwen to be the next family head, after all, he was his own grandson! By the time Su Hongwen was in his thirties, Su Changfeng would be able to hand over all responsibilities to him.
After all, martial artists lived longer than ordinary people. For a martial artist at Su Changfeng’s level, living to two hundred years old was not a problem, so he had plenty of time.
“Cousin, you’re here. Please sit down.” Seeing Jiang Che arrive, Su Hongwen stood up from his chair and smiled faintly at Jiang Che.
He had a good impression of this cousin.
Although they didn’t interact much, Su Hongwen had already set Jiang Che as his target, someone to strive towards.
He also knew that Jiang Che, at just twenty years old, was already a Man and Heaven stage martial artist. This kind of cultivation speed and talent made even Su Hongwen, known as a prodigy, deeply respect him.
Although he himself was known as the top young disciple of the Su family, he was still quite far behind Jiang Che.
He had heard about Jiang Che’s story from his grandfather and knew that Jiang Che only started cultivating at sixteen.
In just four short years, he had transformed from an ordinary person into a martial artist who could pluck flowers and leaves and kill from a distance.
This kind of cultivation speed made it hard not to admire him. After all, he had started practicing martial arts at six and only reached the peak Transformation stage by nineteen.
Jiang Che took just a third of the time he did but was still several levels higher in cultivation. If this were told, no one would believe it, as it seemed too fantastical.
So he deeply respected this cousin and set him as his goal. After all, martial arts was not an easy path, and Jiang Che must have paid unimaginable prices to break through so quickly.
He believed his cousin was a person of great perseverance! Someone capable of great achievements!
If he knew that Jiang Che didn’t have to do anything and just lay down to upgrade, who knows what he would think…
