Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Conflict (Part 2)

Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes and looked at Dongfang Liang. Among this group of people, each one said:”You actually still recognize me.”

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said:”Naturally, now that the Su Family is marrying into the He Family, that’s even a major event. How could our Shen Family not pay attention?”

“What? Is he the Family Head?” Several people around exclaimed.

Dongfang Liang was angry at this moment and said:”So what if he’s the Family Head? A Family Head of a small local family, does that count for anything?”

Murong Huaqing also shouted:”Yeah, Young Master Shen, why do you need to be so polite to him? Just swallow up his family directly.”

“What are you saying?” With a clear voice, He Lingzhi walked quickly over, frowned at Song Xiaodong, but still stood by his side.

Dongfang Liang angrily said:”He Lingzhi, this time this guy dared to hit me, even you can’t protect him.”

He Lingzhi looked at Dongfang Liang, tilted her chin, and said:”Well, I’m going to protect him. What can you do about it?”

“He Lingzhi, he’s just your He Family’s marriage partner, why go this far?” Murong Huaqing snorted.

He Lingzhi coldly glanced at the two of them, loudly saying:”He is still my man, He Lingzhi’s man. Whoever causes trouble for him is causing trouble for me. I want to see who wants to take him on?”

Chapter 1261

Everyone suddenly fell silent. He Lingzhi of the He Family, though she didn’t participate in these kinds of events often, is quite famous in Beijing.

Not because of her beauty, but her personality and her strength.

No matter which family’s offspring it is in Beijing, if she doesn’t look favorably on them and they keep pestering her, she’ll unapologetically beat them down. Many Beijing offspring have lost to her.

And as a girl, even if she beats someone up, the beaten wouldn’t dare to let their family step forward, so no one dares to casually provoke He Lingzhi, even the heirs of the top-ranking families.

Even though Shen Lang mentioned Song Xiaodong’s marriage into the He Family, no one expected He Lingzhi to be the marriage partner. In everyone’s impression, He Lingzhi seemed like a woman who couldn’t get married.

Dongfang Liang said coldly:”Even if he’s your man, He Lingzhi, so what? He beat us, do you think we’ll just let it slide?”

He Lingzhi glared and shouted:”So what if he beat you? You’re just asking for a beating. How did you talk to him?”

While she hadn’t stepped in earlier, she had been paying attention since the conflict began, so she saw everything clearly.

Murong Huaqing shouted:”Pfft, a small local family, how dare he participate in our kind of gathering? What qualifies him?”

“What qualifies him?” He Lingzhi suddenly laughed, saying:”Never mind he’s a Family Head, even if I bring a boyfriend, does he need qualifications?”

Murong Huaqing was momentarily speechless.

Dongfang Liang snorted and said:”Then how do we count his beating us? Is your He Family going to take responsibility?”

“That’s right. If you have complaints, come to our He Family.” He Lingzhi was not backing down.

“Young Master Shen, what do you say?” Dongfang Liang looked at Shen Lang.

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said:”Young people, having some conflict is normal. Why don’t we just laugh it off and let bygones be bygones?”

Dongfang Liang’s face changed and said:”Young Master Shen, do you think a Clan Leader of a small family is qualified to laugh it off with us?”

Shen Lang frowned and said:”You started the provocation in the first place, and as heirs of major Beijing families, we must have the demeanor of major Beijing families. That’s it for this matter. If you’re uncomfortable about it, please resolve it yourselves later. Here today, I, Shen Lang, treat every guest equally.”

Dongfang Liang and Murong Huaqing both frowned, but they knew very well that Shen Lang had already spoken, so if they continued to make a scene here, it would be disrespectful to Shen Lang.

“Fine! We’ll give Young Master Shen face, but we’ll see about that kid.” Dongfang Liang left a harsh word and, along with Murong Huaqing, walked away sullenly, lacking face.

At this time, Shen Lang said courteously again:”Patriarch Song, these two young ones don’t know the height of the sky, I hope you won’t mind.”

“I won’t take it to heart.” Song Xiaodong said calmly.

Many people around secretly criticized. A small local family, even as a Family Head, has no place to show off here.

Shen Lang’s behavior was different from others, he smiled and said:”Patriarch Song, let’s go over there and have a chat.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said:”No problem.”

The two moved aside, He Lingzhi hesitated a moment and followed them.

They found a spot by the window to sit, with a server bringing over drinks. Shen Lang raised his cup, saying:”Patriarch Song, I’ve long heard of your style, today I finally see you, let me toast to you.”

Song Xiaodong clinked cups with Shen Lang, took a sip and said:”As a Family Head of a small place, it’s my honor to receive the attention of Young Master Shen.”

Shen Lang shook his head, saying:”Patriarch Song, you’re being too modest. Right now, your Su Family of Minghe is simply at its peak. In Ningjian, you stand out alone, fighting with the Zhou Family, pressuring the Lian Family, which of these achievements could a small family accomplish? In terms of strength, your Su Family is not inferior to Beijing Families, having become strategic partners with the British Walter Family, marrying into the He Family, such strength, who can compare?”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said:”Young Master Shen is really well-informed about our Su Family.”

Shen Lang also smiled slightly, saying:”Others might call me Young Master, but I accept that title, Patriarch Song calling me that, I can’t bear it. Please just call me by my name, Shen Lang.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and casually said:”Then I’ll call you by your name.” This was the Family Head’s dignity, even though he knew very well that Shen Lang was not simple. However, he was a Family Head, too polite to others would mean losing his dignity as Family Head.

A glint passed through Shen Lang’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Song Xiaodong’s casual attitude made him think even more highly of him. This wasn’t a show-off; it truly demonstrated Song Xiaodong’s demeanor.

“Lingzhi, over the past two years, countless families have proposed to your He Family because of you, but there was no outcome. I never thought you would not only find your true love so fast, but also someone like Patriarch Song, truly a man among men; I’m really happy for you.”

He Lingzhi glanced at Song Xiaodong, shrugged her shoulders and said:”I have to get married after all, and although this guy isn’t much, he’ll have to do.”

Shen Lang laughed and said:”Lingzhi, that’s not a nice way to put it. No girl from any big family gets married to a Family Head directly, you really found yourself a treasure.”

He Lingzhi proudly lifted her head and said:”If he wasn’t any good, would I marry him?”

“Haha… But it truly is a match made in heaven, I congratulate you both in advance.”

After exchanging some harmless words, Shen Lang looked at Song Xiaodong, his expression turning serious, saying:”Patriarch Song, our Shen Family has always contemplated development, do you, Patriarch Song, have any intention to cooperate with us?”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said:”If you want to talk about cooperation, shouldn’t your family’s Head be talking to me?”

Shen Lang nodded and said:”Of course, but I can first gauge Patriarch Song’s intentions. If you have such an idea, then our Family Head can meet Patriarch Song for a detailed discussion.”
