Chapter 1722 -1663: The Prestige of the Family Head

A young man in his twenties, claiming he wouldn’t bother with peers like Zhou Xiyun, was already peculiar enough, let alone including someone like Zhou Linhai, who was nearly fifty.

However, when Song Xiaodong uttered these words, everyone felt it was just so natural.

A person’s qualifications aren’t mainly because of age, but based on their strength. As the head of the Su Family, Song Xiaodong had such credentials, thus he had the confidence, and it seemed so natural.

Zhou Changqing immediately said with immense guilt, “Patriarch Song, I am truly humiliated. For the Zhou Family to produce such a disgrace, I am utterly ashamed.”

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, “Patriarch Zhou, please don’t mind, it’s just a small matter. Young people tend to be a bit unruly; today’s lesson may help them remember in the future. However…”

Song Xiaodong paused here, his gaze fixed on Zhou Xiyun, who felt a chill down his spine and couldn’t help but shiver.

“It’s not a major flaw for young people to be a bit wild, but thinking of bullying others is not good at all. Elder Zhou, don’t you think?”

Zhou Changqing could not fail to hear the meaning behind Song Xiaodong’s words. Although Wang Bing’s words just now were basically factual, they had softened the blow, especially by not fully detailing Zhou Xiyun’s inappropriate comments towards Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin.

Zhou Changqing immediately slapped Zhou Xiyun a few times harshly, angrily shouting, “You scoundrel, kneel! How dare you, when did the Zhou Family start learning to use power for such deeds? I will skin you alive and pretend I don’t have this grandson.”

“Grandfather, grandfather, I was wrong, I truly know my mistake.” Zhou Xiyun knelt down with a thud, sobbing and sniffling, showing none of the glamour of the Zhou Family’s favored son.

He knew very well that no one would plead for him at this time. If Song Xiaodong remained angry, his return home would be dreadful. He kept slapping his own face in desperation.

The slapping sounds were loud and clear, making everyone around tense up; this was the prominent son of the Zhou Family, not just anyone. Among them, who had a higher status?

The slaps landing on Zhou Xiyun’s face seemed like they were landing on their own; they didn’t even dare look Song Xiaodong in the eye but had memorized him deeply, not only him but those beside him as well. Anyone around such a great family head was not to be trifled with either.

“Patriarch Zhou, this is your family matter, which seems inappropriate for such an occasion; it can ruin everyone’s mood.”

Zhou Changqing promptly glared at Zhou Xiyun and said, “Get back home, I will deal with you there, and you as well,” directing the latter part at Zhou Linhai.

The grandfather and grandson promptly left in dejection, after which everyone gathered around together.

Song Xiaodong had already expressed his stance, and how Zhou Changqing handled Zhou Xiyun at home was no longer his concern. Any sensible person would definitely discipline Zhou Xiyun at this point.

“Patriarch Song, it’s quite noisy here, and doesn’t fit your stature; shall we move somewhere quieter to talk?” one family head suggested to Song Xiaodong in an inquiring tone.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go there together.”

As a few people were about to leave, Song Xiaodong glanced at Wang Cong and his companions and asked, “Would you like to come along?”

The three were momentarily stunned, then quickly shook their heads in unison; Wang Cong and Liu Caiyou had nothing to say in the presence of such authority. Finally, Zhao Fei’er spoke up, “Patriarch Song, please proceed, don’t worry about us.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Feel free to enjoy yourselves here, don’t be formal.”

What he said to the three before leaving was enough to bring them immense benefits.

Many times, a casual word from a prominent figure can change an ordinary person’s life.

Once the heads of families and Song Xiaodong left, the hall remained silent for a moment before erupting into chatter.

“Patriarch Song! What’s his background anyway?”

“That’s simple; just look it up on your phone.”

“I doubt you’ll find anything; matters of these major families are never reported online.”

After checking, they indeed couldn’t find anything about the Su Family of Minghe, or even titles like family head, which were only in novels, with none in serious news reports.

“Stop searching, I have heard of this Su Family.” a fifty-something president said.

“President Liu, why didn’t you say earlier? Why keep it in suspense?”

President Liu’s face gleamed with oil as he said, “Who dares speak carelessly about such family matters? I only spoke up seeing your futile searching.”

“We’re not speaking ill, we just want to understand to avoid offending them somehow in the future. Even the major families in Kun City dare not provoke them; we’re in no position to compete.”

“Exactly, President Liu, please share. You’re doing everyone a favor, and we will all remember your kindness.”
