Chapter 21 He Respected Me Like a God
“I’ve mentioned before that my uncle is the third-in-command of our district. All he has to do is make a phone call and not only would Ma Sanyuan have to obediently return our land deed, he would also personally come to our doorstep to kowtow. How about that?”
Sun Mingxuan boasted of his non-existent accomplishment in an imposing manner, as if he had completely forgotten that he was scared silly by Ma Sanyuan’s arrival only moments ago.
“Your uncle did that?” Zhou Lie frowned; he remained unconvinced as he asked. “This Ma Sanyuan is so powerful in Jiangling that even the city mayor has to placate him. As for your uncle, he’s only the third-in-command of our district. Do you really think that he can pull off such a feat?”
Sun Mingxuan proudly said, “Father-in-law, you don’t know this but I just called my uncle. He told me that the person who backed Ma Sanyuan up at the provincial office has fallen from grace. Now, he is like a wild dog, so anybody who wants to get rid of him now will have it easy. Of course he is very obedient now that he needs to start searching for new support, haha. My uncle is gaining traction, so it’s a little obvious who Ma Sanyuan will choose.”
When Sun Mingxuan called his uncle just now, the latter admitted that he had mentioned Ma Sanyuan returning the land title to Zhou Lie, but before he could pursue the matter, his uncle had to end the call and get ready for work.
Although his uncle didn’t claim responsibility, through his own detailed and thorough deductions, Sun Mingxuan had quickly guessed that his uncle made a phone call to pressure Ma Sanyuan, and the latter panicked. As a result, he ran over to the Zhou family home to kowtow and pay compensation. Wasn’t it obvious?
Furthermore, of the Zhou family’s poor relatives, not a single one had the ability to do much. Other than his uncle, nobody else had the ability to force Ma Sanyuan to obediently kowtow and pay compensation. The answer was plain as day!
If only his uncle told Sun Mingxuan all these earlier, he wouldn’t have to pretend to be sick and hide from Ma Sanyuan; this had caused him to lose face in front of the Zhou family.
Liu Minglan and Zhou Ying finally figured out what had happened. As it turned out, Ma Sanyuan was at the mercy of Sun Mingxuan’s uncle. Therefore, Ma Sanyuan didn’t dare to offend Sun Mingxuan’s parents-in-law. All he could do was obediently apologize and compensate them, begging for their forgiveness. This thought made sense, and everything was clear now.
“Aww, Mingxuan, really, we are so grateful to you, and your uncle too!” Liu Minglan was touched.
Tears welled up in Zhou Ying’s eyes; touched and proud, she gave Sun Mingxuan a big hug. “I’m sorry that I wrongly accused you just now. I thought Ma Sanyuan scared you so badly that you didn’t want to come out. Turns out you were really not feeling well. I never knew that all of these were within your grasp. You have done so much for my family and I.”
Sun Mingxuan looked momentarily embarrassed. Then, he hugged his woman’s waist, and in an emotional but energetic voice, he said, “All these are things that I should do. You are my wife and my woman. Yingying, I will make you the happiest woman on earth, trust me!”
Zhou Ying looked satisfied, happy, and confident.
At this moment, Sun Mingxuan let go of all the dissatisfaction and grudges in his heart; his spirits were now lifted and he was very happy.
When compared to the Sun family’s power or his uncle’s connections, what good was that ten million in net worth of Chu Feng’s? It meant nothing!
Ma Sanyuan may have snatched the Zhou family’s land deed or broken Zhou Lie’s leg, but at the end of the day, when Chu Feng heard the name of the country’s Chamber of Commerce head, he retreated like a tortoise withdrawing into its own shell, not daring to make a sound.
As for Sun Mingxuan, with only a passing sentence, he managed to get Ma Sanyuan—who had flaunted his might in Jiangling for over twenty years—to personally come to the Zhou house, kowtowed, apologized, and paid him the compensations. Ma Sanyuan had respected him so much, that he was practically worshiping God himself!
His single word could kill, and his single sentence could seize riches; he was an elite, he was an existence that ten of thousands of people revered!
“Oh, Chu Feng, who would have thought that within a few hours, you and I are no longer people of the same world.” Sun Mingxian was full of pride. In a voice full of emotions, he said, “The next time we meet, and when a tiny ant like you meet a huge mountain like me, what will happen, I wonder?” Sun Mingxuan’s heart raced. “I look forward to it.”
