Chapter 424 - People Without Taste Were Not Qualified to See It
However, Loong Chen wasn't one to give in easily. He had a very strong-willed personality.
Old Master Xiao had insulted him in front of everyone, making him quite unhappy.
“I'm sorry, but some people who lack taste aren't qualified to hear Stone Creek's statement.”
Loong Chen said this coldly.
His words caused a stir among the crowd.
What did he mean? Those who lacked taste weren't qualified to listen. Wasn't he directing this at Old Master Xiao?
He actually said that in front of Old Master Xiao and so many guests.
Wasn't this a way of humiliating Old Master Xiao?
Given Old Master Xiao's temperament, how could he tolerate such a thing?
Sure enough, as soon as Loong Chen finished speaking, Old Master Xiao's expression darkened.
“Loong Yang, what do you mean by this? Your words are disrespectful to Grandfather. Do you no longer wish to remain in the Xiao family?”
Zhang Qingfeng regained his composure and sneered inwardly, thinking Loong Chen was foolish for daring to speak to Old Master Xiao that way.
So, he added fuel to the fire without any hesitation.
“How dare you, Loong Yang! How can you speak to Grandfather like this?”
“Someone like him doesn't deserve to set foot in the Xiao family's territory!”
“Xiao Zihan, look at your husband. It's bad enough that he's useless, but now he disrespects his elders. You should divorce someone like this.”
The Xiao family members all spoke up, voicing their grievances on behalf of Old Master Xiao.
Old Master Xiao's expression grew even darker before he finally spoke.
“In the Xiao family, we don't tolerate disrespect towards our elders. From now on, you're not allowed to step foot in the Xiao family or have any connections with our people.”
“Anyone who dares to associate with Loong Yang will also be expelled from the Xiao family!”
Old Master Xiao looked at Xiao Zihan, Xiao Tian, Zhang Lan, and Xiao Ziyan, making his meaning clear.
His last statement was clearly directed at them.
Xiao Zihan's expression changed dramatically when she realized this, and she quickly stepped forward.
“Grandfather, Loong Yang must have spoken out of anxiety. Please give him another chance.”
“Loong Yang, apologize to Grandfather immediately!”
Xiao Zihan said, staring intently at Loong Chen.
“Hmph, if an apology could fix everything, wouldn't everyone make mistakes without consequences?”
Zhang Qingfeng said, further provoking the situation.
Xiao Zihan ignored Zhang Qingfeng, focusing solely on Loong Chen, urging him to apologize quickly.
However, Loong Chen was tired of holding back. He wasn't the type to endure things quietly. The only reason he had done so until now was because of his current circumstances.
“I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I apologize? Besides, he wouldn't even accept my apology!”
Loong Chen said coldly, completely indifferent to Old Master Xiao's darkening face.
As soon as Loong Chen finished speaking, a loud slap echoed through the room.
Xiao Zihan's hand had struck Loong Chen's face.
The entire room was shocked into silence by this unexpected turn of events.
No one had anticipated that Xiao Zihan would actually hit someone.
“Looks like things are about to get interesting.”
Zhang Qingfeng smirked, as if enjoying the spectacle.
Xiao Zihan had acted out of sheer panic when she slapped Loong Chen and only realized what she had done afterward.
She quickly withdrew her hand, her face full of regret.
“I'm sorry, I…”
Xiao Zihan didn't get to finish her sentence as Loong Chen raised his hand to stop her.
“You don't need to apologize. I deserved that slap. You've endured a lot because of me. Consider that slap my way of paying you back. From now on, we're done.”
Loong Chen's expression was calm as he said this, then turned around and prepared to leave.
