Chapter 1721 - 1661: Truly Unworthy

Chapter 1721 -1661: Truly Unworthy

Zhou Changqing looked at Director Chen and General Manager Wu, and said: “Where is Patriarch Song?”

Wu Baoxin was stunned for a moment, making Zhou Changqing a bit bewildered with the question.

Director Chen smiled slightly and said, “Gentlemen, Patriarch Song is over here.” He pointed to where Song Xiaodong and the others were.

“Ah?” A gasp arose from the surroundings immediately.

Under the guidance of Director Chen, Zhou Changqing and his group finally saw Song Xiaodong, and then several elders in their seventies or eighties quickly walked towards Song Xiaodong.

No one around followed, they all watched this scene dumbfounded.

These elders hurried over, just to meet a young man in his twenties.

And this young man was called Patriarch Song? Could it be that he is the head of a major family?

But even if he is a family head, it shouldn’t warrant this many family heads from Kun City visiting him unless his family is much more powerful than these families in Kun City.

Zhou Linhai suddenly began to sweat profusely on his forehead.

Zhou Xiyun’s legs began to tremble immediately.

As children of a prestigious family, they understood more than anyone that a Family Head’s authority is not to be offended; it’s a serious crime for an ordinary family member to offend a Family Head.

Chapter 1662

Seeing a group of elderly approaching, Wang Cong, Liu Caiyou, and Zhao Xiaofei felt their hearts were about to jump out, and they could not help but stop breathing.

Any one of these people could shake Kun City with a single stomp, and they’ve never imagined in their lives that they’d meet even one, let alone have them all walk toward them – the visual and mental impact was indescribable.

Song Xiaodong stood up, and Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin also stood up with him, gently linking their arms with Song Xiaodong, both poised and graceful.

Zhou Changqing laughed heartily and said: “Patriarch Song, you’ve honored us with your presence, yet you didn’t inform us, do you look down on the families of Kun City?”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: “Patriarch Zhou, you overstate it, I just came here for a casual visit and didn’t want to make a big fuss. I didn’t expect to disturb all of you. Had I known, I would have visited each one of you.”

Another family head with a stern face said, “Now that we know, we must properly entertain you, otherwise people might think we Kun City families don’t respect the norms, not even offering hospitality to the esteemed Patriarch Song.”

Yet another family head, also with a stern expression, said, “Exactly, Patriarch Song, how would we dare to ask you for drinks in the future?”

The attitude of these family heads seemed not so pleasant, with a hint of blame in their words, but anyone could tell this was an obsequious reprimand.

Song Xiaodong clasped his fists to everyone and said: “This is my fault, and when you all come to Minghe, I will definitely make amends.”

“Since Patriarch Song has said so, we will surely trouble you in the future.”

The stern faces of the crowd instantly softened.

Others were all struck dumb, seeing a young man in their eyes who seemed unremarkable also being a Family Head. The fact that all the family heads of Kun City came to see him of their own accord showed that his family was even more formidable than all the families in Kun City.

Wang Cong, Liu Caiyou, and Zhao Fei’er were even more stupefied; Song Xiaodong’s identity completely surpassed their imagination.

Wu Baoxin grabbed Director Chen’s arm, with a grim look on his face, he said: “Director Chen, you’re something, you knew about Mr. Song’s identity beforehand, yet you didn’t let me in on it.”

Director Chen smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Song wanted to keep a low profile, so I couldn’t say anything. Do you think I dared to disobey his orders?”

Wu Baoxin grinned slightly, acknowledging that Director Chen was speaking the truth, who would dare defy Song Xiaodong’s words! His gaze suddenly shifted to Zhou Linhai, Zhou Xiyun, and others.

Oh…there are indeed a few at present, they are the ones from the Zhou family.

Wu Baoxin looked at these individuals; many came to their senses and also turned their eyes on them.

Zhou Linhai, Zhou Xiyun, Wang Bing, and Kang Xiaohui all had pale faces, with sweat dripping from their heads.

“Smack!” Zhou Linhai suddenly raised his hand and gave Zhou Xiyun a hefty slap.

The sound reverberated through the hall, and everyone turned to them, including the elders.

Old Master Zhou Changqing looked somewhat dumbfounded, glaring at Zhou Linhai, and shouted: “What are you doing?”

Zhou Linhai quickly dragged the still-dazed Zhou Xiyun over, pushed him to the elders’ side, then kicked Zhou Xiyun on the knees, shouting, “You fool, how dare you disrespect Patriarch Song, hurry up and apologize to him.”

Zhou Xiyun had long been scared out of his wits, stammering, “Patriarch… Patriarch Song, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai before me and offended you.”

Zhou Changqing’s face turned green instantly; others might not know the weight of this Family Head Song, but he was very clear.

Not long ago, he visited the Zhou backing family in Beijing.

But the family in Beijing didn’t even rank in the top ten within the city.

The family head in Beijing talked about the currently most sought-after Su Family of Minghe, advising that if they ever met the Su Family Head, Song Xiaodong, they must treat him with utmost respect, and it would be great if they could establish friendly ties.

Upon hearing the news of Song Xiaodong’s arrival in Kun City, Zhou Changqing hurried over, thinking of forging ties with Song Xiaodong, yet he did not expect that his grandson had already offended Song Xiaodong.

“What happened?” Zhou Changqing glared at Zhou Xiyun, his voice so cold that it revealed the extent of his rage.

“I… I… I… ah…” Zhou Xiyun stammered and then suddenly burst into tears.

Zhou Linhai tightened up, kicking his son and cursing, “Useless thing.”

“Zhou Linhai! What happened?” The old master of the Zhou family turned his eyes to Zhou Linhai again.

Zhou Linhai was chilled to the core, having never seen his father so angry; however, he was unclear about the ins and outs of the situation, he had just stood up for his son after seeing him hit, and for a moment, he was tongue-tied.

Zhou Changqing seethed, his face dark as ink.

The Wang Family head saw his grandson at the scene and was also feeling guilty, sternly saying to Wang Bing, “Wang Bing, explain.”

Although Wang Bing had joined in, he wasn’t the main instigator, so he had some confidence, stammering out the cause and effect, emphasizing, “It was all Kang Xiaohui who instigated it, Zhou Xiyun just wanted to stand up for him, so he offended Patriarch Song.”

Kang Xiaohui might have been cunning in normal times, but realizing he was now bearing such a huge blame, especially one that was undeniable, he was so frightened that he started shaking, a foul smell soon emanating from him.

“Take him away!” The old master of the Zhou family said sinisterly.

Immediately, someone came over to take Kang Xiaohui away; he finally came to his senses and shouted in despair, “I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t know he was the Family Head, Patriarch Song, please forgive me and let me go.”

But his cries quickly faded in the hall, and the family guards didn’t want to give him a chance to argue here.

Everyone understood that to clear themselves of responsibility, the Zhou and Wang families wouldn’t go easy on Kang Xiaohui.

But nobody sympathized with Kang Xiaohui, to those present, Kang Xiaohui was a small figure, and he was also the trigger for this conflict, a despicable little person.

Zhou Changqing turned to Song Xiaodong at this time, sighed heavily, and said grief-stricken, “Patriarch Song, I’m ashamed to be here.”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “Patriarch Zhou, you overstate it, how could I be so calculative with the youngsters around.”
