After I Transmigrated as a Villain, the Campus Belle Came Knocking at My Door - Chapter 4:

Chapter 4: After One Sister, Another Sister Appears! This Is Too Much!

“No!”

At this critical moment, Su Bai immediately raised his hand, stopping the old patriarch’s furious strike. With a trace of panic, he spoke rapidly, “Patriarch Su, the most important point is that this is a new era, the 21st century. How can we still follow the outdated practice of arranged engagements made before birth?”

“Besides, your granddaughter has just turned eighteen, and you’re already preparing to marry her off? This is simply using her happiness to fulfill your past promise. It’s absurd. I believe that if the Xiao Family’s patriarch were still alive, he would never agree to this either!”

“Back then, that engagement was surely meant to strengthen both families together, not drag each other down. He would never want the Xiao Family to become a burden in this relationship!”

Covering his head with both hands, half-crouching, Su Bai poured everything out at the fastest speed of his life. After waiting for a moment, he realized the expected cane strike never came. There was no pain at all.

He slowly opened his eyes and stood up, only to see the old patriarch frowning deeply, his expression solemn. Both hands gripped the dragon-headed cane tightly, clearly lost in thought.

This engagement, as Su Bai had said, was indeed unreasonable. It not only harmed the Su Family’s interests but also treated the younger generation as mere tools.

Was it really worth it… just for an old promise?

After hearing Su Bai’s words, many members of the Su Family also began to feel that this engagement was mismatched. Not to mention, the Xiao Family had shown no courtesy over the years.

Despite knowing about the engagement, they had never once come to visit or even greet them, as if ignoring its existence. Did they think the Su Family was begging for this alliance?

Ridiculous!

Seeing the old patriarch hesitate, Su Bai quickly stepped forward and continued, this time speaking in a much gentler tone, “Grandfather, I know what you’re worried about. You feel you owe the Xiao Family’s patriarch.”

“But I have a solution. The Xiao Family is declining, but our Su Family has money. We can invest in Xiao Fan, help the Xiao Family rise again, and secure their position among the four great families of Su City.”

“In this way, the favor is repaid. It benefits our Su Family and the Xiao Family. When the Xiao patriarch rests in peace, he can do so with a smile. It’s a win-win situation!”

As he spoke, Su Bai helped the old patriarch, whose face was still dark and brows tightly furrowed, sit down on the sofa. Meanwhile, inside, he was already grinning with excitement.

Xiao Fan was definitely the protagonist of an engagement-cancellation story. Once the engagement was broken, his luck would skyrocket uncontrollably. If he invested now, he could keep Xiao Fan under his control.

If Xiao Fan made money, he would make even more. Perfect!

In that instant, Su Bai could already see a bright future ahead. Once Xiao Fan accepted his investment, he would no longer be a threat.

“Sigh…”

After a while, the old patriarch let out a weary sigh, his expression complicated. His face was filled with exhaustion as he closed his eyes, as if unwilling to look at this unfilial grandson.

But in his heart, he had already agreed with Su Bai.

After all, the Su Family was the most important. His old friend was gone. Although breaking the agreement felt wrong, helping the Xiao Family maintain their position was still acceptable. Presumably, his old friend wouldn’t blame him.

Still, there was dissatisfaction lingering in his heart. He felt his dignity had been slighted.

The old patriarch suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of sharp anger flashing within them. He lifted his leg and kicked Su Bai hard in the rear, sending him tumbling onto the floor. With a cold snort, he said, “Since this matter was brought up by you, then you handle it!”

“If you mess it up, you’ll bear the consequences yourselves!”

After saying that, he waved his hand and, supported by his son Su Yue, headed back to his room to rest.

Su Bai didn’t mind at all. Instead, he waved his hand as if receiving an order and cheerfully replied, “Got it, Grandpa!” Then he shot Su Ruoxue a look, as if saying, see how capable your brother is?

Su Bai’s smug glance made Su Ruoxue unsure how to respond. Everything that had just happened was completely beyond her expectations.

When had Su Bai ever shown such capability?

A trace of disbelief flickered in her eyes. But remembering that Su Bai had helped her greatly, she quickly revealed a gentle smile and nodded in acknowledgment.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Su Family members exchanged complicated glances. They had expected to watch a joke unfold, yet unexpectedly, this usually frivolous young master had persuaded the old patriarch.

Since the patriarch had already handed full authority over to Su Bai, they saw no need to stay. One by one, they left, leaving only Su Bai and Su Ruoxue behind. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After all, the two siblings weren’t particularly close.

But Su Bai didn’t care about that. Right now, nothing was more important than slapping the protagonist’s face and earning system rewards. In this dangerous world, survival was uncertain.

“Come on, follow your brother!” With a wave of his hand, Su Bai prepared to take Su Ruoxue with him to the Xiao Family to officially cancel the engagement.

“Huh?”

“Where are we going?”

Even Su Ruoxue, who always maintained a cold and calm demeanor, was stunned, her face filled with confusion.

“To cancel the engagement! What are you waiting for?” Su Bai spread his hands casually. Speed was everything right now.

“Isn’t this too fast?”

Su Ruoxue slightly opened her mouth, her mind in a daze. Everything was happening too suddenly for her to process.

“Time waits for no one!”

Shrugging, Su Bai left those words behind and strode toward the garage.

Seeing this, Su Ruoxue nodded helplessly and followed quickly in her high heels, her black stockings swaying as she accepted the situation. After all, the old patriarch had already handed everything over to Su Bai.

Still, finishing it quickly wasn’t a bad thing. It would save trouble later. She had originally expected strong opposition from her grandfather and had prepared a backup plan. She never imagined Su Bai would resolve everything so easily.

“Alright, but we need to bring someone else. My senior sister is waiting outside the villa,” Su Ruoxue said from behind him as they walked.

Senior sister?

Su Bai froze for a moment. Where did this new character come from? No one had ever told him his sister even had a master.

As expected of a female lead. Even if she was the unfortunate type destined for engagement cancellation, she was still a female lead.

“Who is your master?”

Su Bai lowered his gaze and asked. Su Ruoxue’s calm, iceberg-like face remained unchanged as she replied, “The Jiangnan Sacred Healer, Fairy Bai.”

Who?

Su Bai was momentarily confused. Then his eyes narrowed as realization struck. Wasn’t that the legendary doctor known as the Fairy, whose consultations were worth thousands in gold?

Holy shit!

No wonder his sister had the confidence to cancel the engagement. She had a powerful figure backing her all along!
