Love You Till the End Chapter 1131 - 1139: I Never Expected Young Master Jue Would Grace My Humble Abode

Earlier, Su Zhenxiong had also overheard the remarks from the Sun Family members. Given the Sun Family's current difficult situation, he didn't pay it much mind and merely stated to Zhao Shuya, "Things have reached this point, and there's no other recourse. Let's leave it as it is for now."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuya grew concerned. "Zhenxiong, if the marriage with the Sun Family is cancelled, there are other families. Your daughter is also of marriageable age. Letting her drift aimlessly is not a solution. How about this? I will inquire around to see if a suitable match can be found for her."

Su Zhenxiong took a vexed drag from his cigarette. "Let's discuss it later."

"But..."

Zhao Shuya couldn't finish her sentence before a servant rushed into the hall. "Master, there is a gentleman outside requesting to see you," the servant reported.

"Which gentleman?" Zhao Shuya quickly inquired.

"He stated his name is Shi Aoju," the servant replied.

"Shi Aoju? What is he doing here?" It would be untruthful to say she wasn't taken aback. Although Zhao Shuya frequently dismissed Shi Aoju as unremarkable, she harbored a significant degree of apprehension towards him. After all, the Shi Family occupied a dominant position in the business world; regardless of the Su Family's capabilities, they couldn't compare to even a fraction of the Shi's.

Setting aside influence and standing, the network of contacts Shi Aoju possessed could easily eclipse Su Zhenxiong by a considerable margin. Zhao Shuya was acutely aware of this. Thus, for Shi Aoju to condescend to visit the Su Family, she felt a degree of surprise.

"Where is he?" Su Zhenxiong's expression turned quite solemn. Since their last unsuccessful discussion regarding collaboration, he and Shi Aoju had maintained no further contact. Even during infrequent encounters at banquets or gatherings, communication between them was virtually nonexistent. It was rather unexpected for Shi Aoju to make a personal visit.

"He is in the car, parked at the main entrance. He arrived alone," the servant responded.

Su Zhenxiong remained silent for a few moments, contemplating. Then, he instructed, "Please invite him in."

Su Zhenxiong hesitated to disregard Shi Aoju for three primary reasons: Firstly, he had several significant projects that might necessitate Shi Aoju's backing; without it, progress would be challenging. Secondly, in terms of social standing, Shi Aoju was vastly superior and could not afford to offend him. Thirdly, considering the potential connection between his daughter and Shi Aoju, there was an added incentive to meet him and ascertain the truth.

Shi Aoju waited outside the gates of the Su residence, likely experiencing a growing impatience. He lifted his wrist to check the time on his expensive watch, a slight frown creasing his brow.

While he could have easily forced his way in, he decided against it out of consideration for Su Jiuyi. Nevertheless, those few minutes of waiting had indeed tested his patience.

Just as he was contemplating calling his bodyguard to break down the gate, the previously closed entrance suddenly swung open. Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya then appeared, hastening towards him with welcoming smiles as they greeted Shi Aoju.

"I truly never anticipated that Young Master Jue would grace our humble abode with his presence," Su Zhenxiong said, standing before the car with evident politeness.

"This must be Young Master Jue," Zhao Shuya remarked, her gaze fixed on Shi Aoju within the car. With a smile, she added, "I have only heard tales of your name. Seeing you today, you certainly live up to your renowned reputation; a truly handsome gentleman."

"Chairman Su, your compliments are too kind," Shi Aoju replied, directly bypassing Zhao Shuya. He cast a sideways glance at Su Zhenxiong and spoke in a low, soft tone, his voice deep enough that discerning his mood, be it favorable or otherwise, proved difficult.

"Not at all, not at all," Su Zhenxiong chuckled, gesturing for Shi Aoju to proceed inside. "Come, come, let us converse within."
