Chapter 331: Chapter 330, Won’t You Kneel and Apologize to Mister Xu? Seeing Zhong Linger appear, and even asking him to apologize, Zhong Yunjie snorted coldly, "Zhong Linger, you’re just an illegitimate child of our Zhong Family. Now you’re asking me to apologize to him?" "Are you really siding with outsiders?" "Do you believe I can have Grandfather strip you of your surname and kick you out of the family?" Zhong Yunjie felt a deep-seated disgust towards his half-sister, Zhong Linger. If it weren’t for their father getting drunk and taking advantage of her mother back then, Zhong Linger wouldn’t even exist in this world, tainting the pure bloodline of the Zhong Family. Zhong Linger’s eyes were filled with tension, but she still mustered up the courage and said loudly, "You’d better apologize to Mister Xu, or else..." Slap! Zhong Yunjie slapped Zhong Linger’s pretty face, instantly leaving a bright red handprint. "Bitch, I’m not going to apologize. What can you do about it?" Zhong Yunjie’s face was gloomy. He didn’t expect this woman to threaten him publicly. For him, as the eldest grandson, it was absolutely unacceptable. If he didn’t teach her a lesson, how could he command respect? Wouldn’t it be like telling the world that the eldest grandson of the Zhong Family, the future heir of the Zhong Corporation, could be publicly disrespected by a mere illegitimate child? "Do you really find hitting women that fulfilling?" Xu Wendong’s cold voice slowly echoed. Zhong Yunjie roared, "Little brat, is this any of your business?" Slap! Xu Wendong slapped him again in the face, sending him flying once more. This time, however, Zhong Yunjie spat out several teeth mixed with blood. "I despise men who hit women the most." Xu Wendong said, kicking Zhong Yunjie, who rolled over a dozen meters away like a dead dog, groaning in pain. Xu Wendong couldn’t stand seeing men hit women, especially since he had shared a passionate night with Zhong Linger last night. Although it was a financial transaction, he couldn’t tolerate Zhong Yunjie hitting her. Moreover, Zhong Linger was standing up for him. "Holy crap, you actually slapped Young Master Zhong in the face publicly?" "Young man, you’re doomed." "Yeah, your memorial service will be on this day next year." The onlookers began to speak, their eyes filled with playful or cold stares at Xu Wendong. Because, in their eyes, from the moment Xu Wendong struck Zhong Yunjie, his death was already sealed! "What kind of spectacle is this commotion at the funeral home gate?" Accompanied by a cold voice, an elderly man over seventy appeared with an aura of authority. Behind him were many influential figures from the city’s business world. They had all gathered here to bid farewell to Han Li on his final journey. Zhong Yunjie quickly stood up, looking like a wronged little widow, his eyes filled with humiliation, "Grandfather, you’re just in time. This bastard Xu Wendong not only hit your grandson’s face but also disrespected the dignity of our Zhong Family. He must pay a heavy price!" "And also." "This bitch Zhong Linger is siding with outsiders and even asked me to apologize to that Xu." "Grandfather, I think we should strip her of her surname and expel her from the family!" Seeing Elder Master Zhong appear, the young onlookers all knew that Xu Wendong was about to pay dearly for his previous misdeeds. But the scene that followed made everyone’s scalp tingle and shiver with fear. Elder Master Zhong knelt on the ground like a child who had done something wrong, his eyes filled with fear and unease, "Sir, please calm your anger. I have failed to teach my family, and this unworthy son has offended you!" Witnessing this absurd scene, everyone felt their heads buzzing. You must know that the Zhong Family was the top noble family in this city, with assets nearing a hundred billion, and had a legacy spanning thousands of years. It was also the most historically enduring family in the city. Even the city’s top leaders had to greet Elder Master Zhong politely. Yet, who would have thought he would actually kneel before Xu Wendong and call him sir??? Even seeing it with their own eyes, they felt it was unreal. Of course, Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin knew why Elder Master Zhong knelt. Because Elder Master Zhong was also a member of the Life-Seeking Sect and recognized Xu Wendong. Hence, this situation was reasonable. "Grandfather, are you mistaking him for someone else?" Zhong Yunjie was dumbfounded, staring at the grandfather who loved him so dearly, "He’s just some wet-behind-the-ears guy. How could he be worthy of your kneeling?" Elder Master Zhong shouted, "You unworthy child, kneel and apologize to the gentleman at once!" Seeing Grandfather so furious, Zhong Yunjie was chilled to the bone, involuntarily kneeling on the ground. He had a premonition that he seemed to have provoked someone he couldn’t afford to offend. Otherwise, Grandfather wouldn’t be so furious. "Old Zhong, this grandson of yours doesn’t have the character necessary to bear the responsibility of the Zhong Family!" Xu Wendong said lightly. Elder Master Zhong immediately replied, "You are absolutely right, sir. I will strip Zhong Yunjie of his status as an heir and find a suitable clan member within the family to become the successor." Boom! As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s scalp tingled and shivered with cold sweat. Even though Elder Master Zhong knelt before Xu Wendong and apologized, no one could believe that just because Xu Wendong said Zhong Yunjie wasn’t fit to carry the future of the Zhong Family, Elder Master Zhong immediately revoked his heir status. You must know that a successor is the future of a family, related to a family’s survival and prosperity. Yet who would have thought that Xu Wendong merely said one sentence and stripped Zhong Yunjie of his status as an heir? Zhong Yunjie stood dumbfounded in place. He couldn’t accept that Grandfather had stripped him of his heir status. He had only offended Xu Wendong, right? Did it really require stripping him of his status as an heir? Xu Wendong glanced at Zhong Linger, recalling her painful yet entranced expression riding him last night, his face showing a subtle, intriguing smile, "No need to choose, your granddaughter Zhong Linger seems quite suitable. Let’s have her be the heir of the Zhong Family." Elder Master Zhong kowtowed, "Leaving everything to the gentleman’s decision!" The scene exploded with excitement. A tidal wave of shock surged in their hearts. Even though they guessed Xu Wendong must have a strong background, they couldn’t believe that Elder Master Zhong would listen to Xu Wendong and allow a woman to become the heir of the Zhong Family. Mind you, allowing a woman to become the family heir was unprecedented in the history of Luoyang. "Thank you, Mister Xu, thank you, Mister Xu!" Zhong Linger, full of excitement, kept bowing to Xu Wendong in gratitude. She didn’t expect that she would go from being an unacknowledged illegitimate child to becoming the future heir of the Zhong Family. Xu Wendong leaned over, whispering in her ear, "If you want to thank me, wash up and come to my room tonight." A blush spread across Zhong Linger’s face as she nervously and apprehensively said, "Sir, don’t worry, Linger surely won’t disappoint you."
