"As you said, we are trying to save Captain Xiao," Su Nuo said firmly. "But for the time being, with the limited wisdom of the three of us, the best and most effective way we can think of is to negotiate directly with the workers, or you can state the conditions and let us negotiate with the workers. Apart from that, we can't think of a better way."
Yue Qian was very angry at Su Nuo's sharp attitude. However, she still had to show her calm aristocratic temperament. "I've already said that I won't negotiate with those workers. I don't want to say the same thing again. You guys have to come up with other more effective ways to save Xiao Yue. You can also use force if necessary, right? After all, you guys are the co-operation team," she said.
Su Nuo began to lose her composure. She could not bear the fact that Madam Xiao could look down on the lives of civilians like this. "Do you really want us to fight against the workers head-on? Do you know that this will kill and injure many people? Don't tell me those people's lives aren't as good as the few requirements in the negotiation agreement in your eyes?"
The anger in her heart made it impossible for Su Nuo to maintain the calm on the surface. Her hands were clenched into fists and trembling. The wounds on her arms were also cracked because of the tension in her muscles. Blood continuously flowed out of the wounds and even seeped into the sleeves of her coat. However, at this moment, no one noticed this, not even Su Nuo herself.
However, one of them noticed. This person not only noticed this, but also listened to the conversation between Su Nuo and Mrs. Xiao.
The man looked everything in his eyes and heard it. He felt that it was impossible to reach a conclusion if this continued, so he decided to go out and stop their tit-for-tat conversation.
Just as the two sides were at a standstill, someone walked in through the other door of the living room. This person was the person who had been listening to their conversation just now. He was Xiao Mu, the current supreme ruler of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Mu calmly walked to the side of the four people and quickly scanned all of them. Then, he turned around and said the first thing, "Gu Hong, call our doctor and show Captain Su the wound."
"You are," Su Nuo could not help but stand up respectfully from the chair when she saw the handsome gentleman in front of her instructing the servants of the Xiao family to ask the doctor to give it to her.
"I'm Xiao Mu," Xiao Mu introduced himself. "I'm Xiao Yue's uncle and the current head of the Xiao Clan."
"You are Mr. Xiao!" Su Nuo looked at the middle-aged man who was approaching her in surprise.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" Du Ye also stepped forward to salute, "I'm Du Ye."
"So you are the youngest son of the Du Clan, Du Ye?" Xiao Mu turned to welcome Du Ye. "I've always heard that the youngest son of the Du Clan is on the same team as Xiao Yue. I didn't expect it to be true! Welcome to our house!"
"Hello, Mr. Xiao," Zhen Ni bowed to Xiao Mu, "I'm Zhen Ni."
"The Zhen Clan," Xiao Mu turned to Zhen Ni, "is it the Zhen Clan that has almost monopolized the universe aviation industry?"
"Yes, but you're exaggerating," said Zhen Ni humbly.
"Oh!" Xiao Mu looked very happy. "The only daughter of the Zhen Family, Zhen Ni, is also on the team! Welcome to our house too!"
"Hello," Su Nuo was the last to salute Xiao Mu. "I'm Su Nuo. It's an honor to meet you."
'"Hello," Xiao Mu turned around and walked in front of Su Nuo. "Nice to meet you. I've already met you, haven't I? Also, I don't think you need to worry about Xiao Yue's injuries all the time. I believe that Xiao Yue has his reasons for doing this. You don't have to feel sorry for him at all. As long as you two get along well in the future, I'll be happy as uncles."
"Thank you, thank you for your concern," Su Nuo lowered her head. Seeing the wound on her arm, she used her other hand to cover the blood oozing out of the wound. "Xiao Yue must have told you that I'm not from a noble family. I'm just an orphan who doesn't know whose parents are. Many people think that a person like me isn't qualified to stand here and talk to you. Do you think I can be with Xiao Yue?"
"The doctor is here," Xiao Mu did not directly reply to Su Nuo's words. "You go and treat the wound first, otherwise others will say that our Xiao Clan has neglected the guests!"
Su Nuo obediently followed the doctor to the next room. Throughout the treatment of the wound, Su Nuo's mind had been filled with Mr. Xiao's loving and honorable face, as well as Mr. Xiao's words.
Su Nuo had never felt that these aristocratic families were any different from commoners. The only difference was that aristocratic families had money, while commoners had no money, that was all. But today, Mr. Xiao's words and deeds made her feel the true demeanor of everyone.
Su Nuo sighed from the bottom of her heart that this was the real aristocratic family. His words and deeds were both respectful and fearsome, but at the same time, they did not lose their affinity. This was the first time Su Nuo felt the distance between herself and such an aristocratic family. She felt that she was completely different from Mr. Xiao. She could not and did not have the qualifications to negotiate conditions on an equal footing with him.
Su Nuo felt that she was unprecedentedly tiny. She felt that she would definitely return without success this time, and her mood had also fallen to the bottom of the valley.
"Captain Su, how is it? Has the wound been treated?" Xiao Mu saw Su Nuo walk out with their doctor.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. My injuries are no longer a problem. Also, you can just call me Su Nuo. There's no need to call me Captain Su." Su Nuo could feel that Mr. Xiao was completely different from the aristocratic families he had come into contact with before, because he was sincerely caring for others.
"Well, that's good," Xiao Mu motioned for her to sit next to him.
During this period, Yue Qian had been watching coldly without saying a word.
Xiao Mu gave himself a seat between Su Nuo and Yueqian, which could give him a good view of the entire living room. He was obviously very satisfied with this seat.
After Su Nuo sat down, the topic of conversation resumed.
Du Ye said first, "Mr. Xiao, just now we talked to Mrs. Xiao that the best way to save Captain Xiao is to negotiate directly with the workers, but Mrs. Xiao obviously doesn't agree with our method."
'"So I think it's time for you to make a decision. Whether you are the current highest authority of the Xiao Clan or the elder of Captain Xiao, you must make a decision for us."
Xiao Mu took a sip of the black tea and slowly said his thoughts, "This is a heavy responsibility. As the supreme ruler of the Xiao Clan, I am not willing to negotiate with the workers. This will cause the interests of the Xiao Clan to suffer."
Xiao Mu observed the expressions of the three captains, "But as Xiao Yue's uncle, I should be obliged to negotiate with the workers and return Xiao Yue at any cost. This makes me very contradictory. Ever since I learned that Xiao Yue was kidnapped by the striking workers, I have been thinking about this issue."
"Then do you have a decision now, Mr. Xiao?" Su Nuo really wanted to know what Mr. Xiao, who was sitting in front of her, was thinking.
