Chapter 811: Chapter 812: It’s More Like Being a Family Head

Feng Kexin secretly poked Song Xiaodong’s arm, then slightly opened her mouth and revealed a mischievous smile.

Song Xiaodong understood what Feng Kexin meant and just smiled.

His understanding of the Su Family was mostly through various reports; this true situation had never been accessible to him before.

Just like the Fierce Dragon Gang, Song Xiaodong knew that the Su Family had such an underground force, and he knew these forces delivered vast wealth to the Su Family every year. As for the details, he was completely clueless, only aware that the Su Family’s Second Brother was mainly in charge of the Fierce Dragon Gang.

Hearing what Liu Yupu said allowed him to more directly understand how others viewed the Su Family and to grasp what the Su Family’s businesses were involved in, which was more useful than any report.

At this moment, Feng Kexin leaned over and whispered in Song Xiaodong’s ear, "I feel like you’re on a secret investigation."

Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and whispered back in Feng Kexin’s ear, "Indeed."

Feng Kexin giggled, pointed at the table and said, "Brother, I want to eat that clam, can you help me open it, some haven’t opened yet."

Song Xiaodong agreed and picked up two, opened the clamshells for Feng Kexin, then handed them to her.

The brotherly affection he had for Feng Kexin was quite normal, more indulgent than the somewhat obsessive controlling desire he had towards Song Xiaoru. If the two were not unrelated by blood, he might truly ruin Song Xiaoru’s life.

Liu Yupu had initially respected Song Xiaodong’s strength, but now that the conversation shifted to the Su Family and its Family Guards, he became animated again. Seeing that Song Xiaodong seemed entirely unconcerned, he immediately frowned and said, "Look cousin, are you even listening to me? This is a great opportunity for you to rise to prominence."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "I’m listening, keep going," while helping Feng Kexin with another two clams.

Feng Kexin was also content to enjoy Song Xiaodong’s care.

Liu Yupu said earnestly, "Cousin, I’m serious here. I can mention you to my dad, then have him recommend you to the Su Family. If you are selected, you will be esteemed."

Song Xiaodong smiled, "Thanks for your kindness, but I don’t really like being managed by others."

"That’s not quite right to say. No matter where you work, how can you not be managed by others, unless you run your own business? Don’t tell me you’re in business now?"

"No, I’m not running my own business." The Su Family had many businesses, but it seemed he didn’t run any himself; he just served as the Family Head.

Liu Yupu said frustratingly, "How can you not take such a great opportunity seriously? I’m really anxious for you. You should know, without a recommendation, even if you are capable, the Su Family wouldn’t acknowledge you."

"Well, to each their own, I guess."

Liu Yupu rolled his eyes, turned to Feng Kexin, and said, "Kexin, you really should persuade your cousin. How can he miss such a great opportunity?"

Feng Kexin ate a piece of clam meat, then smiled contentedly, "So delicious. Brother, help me with a few more. Oh, Liu Yupu, what were you saying?"

Liu Yupu’s face darkened, saying, "I was saying helping your brother to become a Family Guard at the Su Family."

Feng Kexin chuckled, "What’s the fun in being a Family Guard? It’d be somewhat worthwhile to become the Family Head instead." She then winked at Song Xiaodong.

Liu Yupu frowned, if it wasn’t Feng Kexin who said this, he would really want to curse. His lips twitched as he said, "Kexin, you’re an outsider, so you might not know about the Su Family, but let me remind you, just keep this conversation among us, definitely don’t repeat it, if it gets out, it’s a major taboo for the Su Family and they definitely won’t let you off."

Feng Kexin glanced at Song Xiaodong, pursed her lips and said, "The Su Family can’t be unreasonable, right?"

Liu Yupu said sternly, "A big clan like the Su Family won’t reason with you, they dictate, and while I might look impressive, not to mention my dad, the Su Family can snuff us out on a whim."

Feng Kexin huffed, "Then isn’t the Su Family a bit over the top, can they be above the law?"

Liu Yupu said, "The law? That’s made for ordinary people. For a big clan like the Su Family, the law can’t restrain them, and I can tell you this, if they want to do something to someone, the law will even back them up. Get it?"

At this moment, Feng Kexin leaned into Song Xiaodong’s ear and whispered, "Brother, it seems that your Su Family’s external reputation isn’t so good, huh?"

Song Xiaodong gave a bitter smile, even though it was his first time hearing this here, he was well aware of the reputation of such large families among ordinary people. Families like the Su and Sun, who had wronged him in the past, simply used their power and influence to bend the rules.

This was also the underlying concern of the authorities, and the reason he got involved in the family system, as it was surpassing the national law, causing too many people to feel injustice and discontent.

Seeing the attitudes of Song Xiaodong and Feng Kexin, Liu Yupu truly felt like he was casting pearls before swine, said dejectedly, "You two are really like siblings, how can you not understand my good intentions? Kexin, this has nothing to do with my pursuit of you, I’m just trying to help your cousin."

Feng Kexin laughed, "Alright, we appreciate your kindness, but we have our own things we like to do and are really not interested."

Just then, two cars stopped at the roadside, a group of people got out of the two cars, including the two miscreants from earlier, both of whom were following a bald big man, bowing and scraping in an ingratiating manner.

Liu Yupu looked at those people, then his face suddenly changed, and his voice trembled as he said, "This is bad, this is really bad."

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Yuqing asked.

"Brother Long is here..."

"Who is Brother Long?"

"The Gang Leader of the Fierce Dragon Gang." Liu Yupu swallowed hard, grimacing, "With his status, he really won’t cut us any slack, now we have to apologize, Song Xiaodong, you can’t be impulsive later, you must apologize, or we all will be finished."

In his panic, Liu Yupu even dropped the formalities and directly called Song Xiaodong by his name.
