Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 1065 - 1066: Nobility

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1066: Nobility

“Cough cough, Betty, my brother is still resting,” Feng Kexin immediately felt a pang of jealousy and quickly reminded.

Feng Kexin and the others could watch Song Xiaodong be affectionate with women at home because they were family, so it didn’t feel unnatural or it might just be a matter of habit.

However, seeing Song Xiaodong being affectionate with women outside of the family, that natural jealousy within women inevitably arose.

Betty hurriedly got off the bed and said apologetically, “Sorry, sorry, I was just too excited. My grandmother has been in a coma for over ten days, and today, after the dear Dr. Song treated her, she woke up and even said she was hungry. It’s really surprising, I couldn’t control my joy.”

Sun Yiyi smiled and said, “Perhaps you should go take care of your grandmother first. He still needs to rest for over an hour; he’s already worked hard to treat your grandmother.”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry for disturbing Song’s rest, I’ll leave right away.”

After Betty left, Feng Kexin said jealously, “Brother, how’s the kiss from a foreign beauty?”

Song Xiaodong awkwardly laughed and said, “It was purely accidental, I was completely passive and didn’t feel anything.”

“Really didn’t feel anything?” Sun Yiyi squinted at Song Xiaodong.

“Of course…cough cough, I was just startled, honestly didn’t expect her to do that, really didn’t feel anything.”

Seeing Song Xiaodong’s awkward expression, both Sun Yiyi and Feng Kexin laughed out loud.

The whole Walter Family was in an uproar.

Karen’s grandmother, Alicia, held more authority in the Walter Family than the head of the family, Turner Walter.

In the Walter Family’s history, Alicia was also a legendary figure. She was a woman of exceptional ability, and under her leadership, the Walter Family has developed rapidly over the past few decades, becoming one of the top families in England.

Though she was elderly, her prestige remained, so the entire family was very concerned about her illness, hoping she could live a few more years.

After Alicia fell ill, the family sought many renowned doctors worldwide, but there was no effect, and everyone gradually lost hope. Now, with a sudden turnaround, how could they not be ecstatic?

Two hours later, Betty came to Song Xiaodong again. Although she wasn’t as excited as before, there was still admiration and respect in her gaze as she said, “Dear Song, our entire family invites you to dinner.”

Song Xiaodong accepted the invitation and went with Betty to the dining room.

It was a typical English dining room with a long table, and the first place was set with various exquisite silver utensils. The people here were almost the top figures of the Walter Family.

Seated at the main position was Warner Walter, the highest-ranking individual of the Walter Family.

He was an elderly man over eighty, already quite old, with a thin, expressionless face, but his eyes were deep, making it hard to discern his thoughts.

In many people’s eyes, Alicia drove the development of the Walter Family, but those who truly knew the family were aware that Warner was equally remarkable—a cunning old fox. If you underestimated him, you’d suffer greatly. The Walter Family’s development was a result of the joint efforts of this couple, complementing each other, both indispensable.

Song Xiaodong was invited to sit next to Warner, who revealed a grateful smile and said, “Dear Song, thank you for waking up my wife. On behalf of the entire Walter Family, I express our gratitude to you.”

Song Xiaodong replied casually, “There’s no need for that. I only did it because of Karen’s filial piety.”

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Karen. For years, Karen hadn’t experienced being the focus of such attention, feeling proud instantly.

Warner nodded and said, “Although Karen’s performance over the years hasn’t always satisfied us, his love for his grandmother is indeed no different from other members of the Walter Family. I also appreciate that.”

Karen blushed with excitement; it was the first time his grandfather had publicly praised him in many years, and all of this was brought about by Song Xiaodong, whose gratitude he found indescribable.

Betty interjected at this moment, “Grandfather, Mr. Song worked hard to treat grandmother, shouldn’t we start the meal now so Mr. Song can replenish his nutrition?”

“Yes, yes, we can talk later.”

Immediately, someone gave the order, and various exquisite dishes were served.

The cultivation of a large family was reflected at this moment; there were no less than thirty people dining, yet there was not much noise, just occasional conversation.

Furthermore, everyone eating displayed a certain aesthetic; although Song Xiaodong and the others had witnessed much and often eaten Western cuisine, compared to these British aristocrats, there was still a qualitative gap.

Such aristocratic cultivation is not simply learned but results from hundreds of years of heritage; the atmosphere within the entire family fosters noble individuals.

In contrast, families in China were established for a relatively short time, and even if some have existed longer, they lacked adequate cultural cultivation, so it’s really difficult to compare them with these aristocracies with hundreds of years of tradition.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, China will have such families, but for now, it’s not there yet.

This isn’t about looking down on Chinese people; it’s a reality that can’t be denied.

After a satisfying meal, Betty took Feng Kexin and Su Yiyi on a walk around the estate, while Song Xiaodong sat with Warner and a few key members of the Walter Family drinking coffee.

Even sitting there, Warner and the others exhibited considerable grace, yet there was an invisible pressure about them.

Song Xiaodong appeared quite relaxed; firstly, he couldn’t emulate the innate nobility they possessed, and secondly, he didn’t much like such restrictions. Nobility is indeed a good trait, but compared to freedom, Song Xiaodong still preferred freedom.

Moreover, Song Xiaodong’s casualness and calmness contrasted sharply with theirs, making Warner and the others feel that Dr. Song wouldn’t lower himself just because of the Walter Family.
