Chapter 478: The Dragon Plays with the Phoenix_1
When Su Chengyu uttered those words, everyone was stunned. After all, in the eyes of most, the Xu family was a true aristocratic family. Even if Su Chengyu reigned supreme in Lin Jiang, compared to the Xu family, he fell far short.
Being able to receive the Xu family’s token and to serve them, how many consider that an extraordinary fortune? How many yearn to serve the Xu family but were simply not qualified?
Everyone was in an uproar, all thinking that Su Chengyu was too arrogant, too haughty. To offend the Xu family, wasn’t that courting death?
"Mr. Su... choose your words carefully before you speak..." Zhou Chaoming quietly reminded him from behind.
"Su Chengyu! What did you say? Dare you to say it again; this old man couldn’t hear clearly!"
Xu Shenghe’s face darkened, and fury flickered in his eyes. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that, and no one had ever declined his benevolence. Instead, there were always too many people eager to flatter him.
"Elder Xu, if you truly mean well and wish to mediate, speaking on my behalf, I would’ve appreciated it! But, I... Su Chengyu... do not wish to be anyone’s dog. The Black Dragon Commerce Association’s recruitment offer, I declined it, and the Xu family’s so-called benevolence, I do not want it. I accept your good intentions, and so, this token, I return it to you."
Su Chengyu didn’t want to fall out with the Xu family, so he spoke as gently as possible, leaving room for both sides to save face.
Su Chengyu pulled out the small swallow, flicked it lightly, and it flew back into Xu Shenghe’s hand.
"Hmph!"
Xu Shenghe slapped the table, his face full of rage, and his aged face twitched a couple of times.
