Chapter 233: One Million a Day
At this moment, Ding Shanhuan finally realized who Song Xiaodong truly was. With swift strides, he rushed over, stopped in front of Song Xiaodong, cupped his fists, and said excitedly, "Mr. Song, please wait!"
Song Xiaodong looked at Ding Shanhuan coldly and asked, "What is it that you want?"
"Mr. Song!" Ding Shanhuan’s mind raced, suddenly filled with extreme annoyance. He had gone to all the trouble of inviting the man, yet his damned son had managed to offend him. This was a matter concerning the future of the entire Ding family—something he couldn’t afford to miss.
After weighing his words carefully, Ding Shanhuan said respectfully, "We were unaware of your true identity just now. My son has offended you greatly. I ask you, sir, to overlook the transgressions of the lesser informed and not to take offense at the actions of an ignorant youth. I will certainly punish him severely later and will offer you a proper explanation."
"There’s no need!" Song Xiaodong said coldly and continued walking forward.
Ding Shanhuan didn’t dare to block Song Xiaodong directly. He quickly stepped aside to make way but followed close by, saying, "Mr. Song, as a son, I cannot simply watch my father pass away. If there is the slightest chance, I must let him live a few more years. Please, understand my filial piety."
"Filial piety? Hmph!" Song Xiaodong scoffed coldly.
"Hey, can you guys be reasonable? We’re here to treat your illness, yet you’re aggressive towards us, shouting about fighting and killing. There’s no respect for us at all. And now you’re asking for our help to cure your illness? How could that be fair?"
Ding Shanhuan cursed his son in his heart to high heaven; determined, he sped up and once again blocked Song Xiaodong’s path. With a thud, he actually knelt down in front of Song Xiaodong and pled, "Please, Mr. Song, save my father’s life."
The members of the Ding family were all stunned, watching Ding Shanhuan in disbelief. The ordinarily domineering Ding Shanhuan was now kneeling before a young man.
