The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

It was indeed as Tan Taihong said, the elder's first sentence made Xu Yiyu sense a hint of contradiction.

Although Xu can use the power of her own son to monitor the every move of the Elders' Council, Xu Yiyu has her own bottom line.

As long as those people in the Elders' Council don't make trouble and disturb the normal schedule of the action team during her stay in Yidali, as for how they plot against her and scheme against her in private, she can pretend not to know and maintain superficial harmony with them until she confirms the whereabouts of the imperial seal.

After all, the clan leader and his son, who hold the greatest power, are on his side. Even if they want to do something, they have to consider the concession document that Xu Yiyu has just provided to the family.

As expected, as soon as Elder Beato finished speaking, Xu Yiyu heard Kevin, who was being targeted by him, chuckle indifferently.

Elder Beato had been maintaining his outward elegance just now, but this laugh touched some unpleasant part of his body and immediately angered him.

"Is my question ridiculous? Or have you reached some kind of agreement with Miss Xu Yiyu in private? As long as you become her protector in our country, she will give you a gift that is more valuable than this concession document?"

Xu Yiyu silently knocked on the control unit deep in his consciousness world, asking it to project the scene at that time into the air in the form of a floating window, turning it into a large screen with a blue frame.

She glanced at Xu Cheng, and slid her fingers clasped on the table casually in the direction of this cousin, completing the screen sharing operation in an instant.

The two of them listened to the recording and watched the "movie" leisurely, not worrying at all that others would notice anything unusual about them.

Apart from the two of them, no one else at the scene could see the large suspended screen. Moreover, Xu Yiyu's finger sliding movements were so ordinary and secretive that no one at the scene would think that the two of them were "chasing drama" together.

Next, Xu Yiyu saw Kevin, who originally had a little smile on his face, turned gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a thin layer of frost had already appeared in his emerald green eyes.

"Dear Uncle Beato, this Chinese man you mentioned is not a good person. He gave us a gift twenty minutes ago that we will never return with the same value."

Kevin's voice, which originally had a hint of laziness, had completely changed at this moment. His clear voice was filled with undisguised disappointment and heartbreak.

Fortunately, his father is still in power in the family. If the ungrateful people in the Council of Elders were to replace him, they might do something ungrateful.

Kevin's words were full of obvious warnings, and he also reminded everyone present that the gift in their hands was not for them to use to backstab the gift giver.

"My dear nephew, please answer my question! Regardless of whether this lady gave us gifts or not, it is a fact that you have known her before. How can you prove that you have not reached some agreement with her privately? After all, you have spent much more time with her than we old guys."

Even though he had heard it once, the usually open-minded and cheerful Xu Cheng still unconsciously cursed "shameless".

Is this person's brain circuit different from that of normal people? Why does he say things he doesn't like to hear?

Xu Yiyu smiled and nodded to the sister who was feeling sorry for him, signaling her to continue reading.

Kevin seemed to be really angry at what Elder Beato said. He stood up by holding the long table, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"You also know that it is because of my personal relationship with this young lady that she sought the protection of our family? Then let me ask you a question based on your thinking. If it weren't for me, would the elders of the council still be able to receive this great gift?"

Kevin's tone was calm and his tone was not too extreme when he refuted.

However, these extremely calm words made most of the elders look a little unnatural and embarrassed.

Elder Beato was choked by the words of the young man in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Just when he was about to retort to Kevin, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Kevin.

"My dear uncle, even if we take a step back and say that Christine and I have a private agreement, what does it matter? As a contributor who has brought such great benefits to the family, am I not qualified to have a reward that is more important than yours?"

In the few times Xu Yiyu and Kevin met, the Yidali young man had never spoken to her in such an aggressive tone. Although it was obvious that he did have some potential to be a sea king, he had never been rude to any woman he had ever met.

This was the first time Xu Yiyu heard him arguing with others in a questioning tone, even though the other party was an elder in his own family.

"You! Angelo, are you going to let your son be bewitched by a Chinese woman? Now that he has begun to disobey us elders, is it impossible for him to do things that harm our family's interests for this woman in the future?"

Elder Beato was indeed very angry at his nephew's words. Seeing that he was no longer in the right, he chose to seek help from his younger brother, the clan leader. He deliberately used exaggerated language to exaggerate the situation, trying to gain the upper hand in this dispute by virtue of his status as an elder.

However, Patriarch Angelo, his younger brother who always put the interests of the family first in his eyes, did not stand on his side after hearing his words, and did not even say a word of agreement.

"Dear brother, although this is indeed the first time we have met Miss Xu from China, it is a fait accompli that she has brought us great benefits, and Kevin is indeed the intermediary between our family and her. Moreover, I don't think the serious consequences you mentioned will appear in her negotiations with us."

Even when Chief Angelo was refuting his elder brother, his expression and tone remained restrained and steady, without even a trace of negative personal emotion.

After speaking these words slowly and steadily, Angelo deliberately paused for a few seconds before speaking the next sentence.

"The only reason for the serious consequences is that someone interfered, and this person did not want the lady to have a perfect and pleasant trip to a foreign country."

Looking at the calm face of Patriarch Angelo, Xu Yiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of sincere gratitude in his heart.

Even if the clan leader indirectly developed trust in Xu because of his trust in his son, the fact that he could speak for her in front of these old-fashioned and selfish elders alone proved that he was a man who knew very well what was going on.

Elder Beato, who did not get the answer he wanted, saw his brother defending this Chinese woman whom he had only met once. His neatly trimmed beard on his chin trembled along with his body that was shaking with anger.

He raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed at Angelo for a long time with his whole body shaking, until his cheeks turned red with anger, but he couldn't successfully think of a refutation of what he said.
