Chapter 863: Chapter 864: Greatly Increased Reputation

The Sun Family members also followed to the Su Family, but after arrival, Song Xiaodong did not entertain them first but instead went straight to the quarters where the Family Guards lived to treat Su Zhentian’s injuries.

Half an hour later, Su Zhentian woke up and opened his eyes to see Song Xiaodong, saying, "Is it over?"

"It’s over," Song Xiaodong said with a slight smile.

Haha..." Su Zhentian couldn’t help but laugh out loud but then subconsciously covered his chest, afraid that the laughter would aggravate his internal injuries. However, there was no expected intense pain, just a slight soreness.

"Family Head, did you heal me?" Su Zhentian sat up.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you should be fine after a few days of rest."

Su Zhentian circulated his True Qi and then looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise and said, "Family Head truly possesses divine skill. I thought I would be severely weakened this time, with my strength declining."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "You have made such great contributions to the Su Family, how could I let your strength be diminished? After all, you are the pillar of the Su Family."

Su Zhentian clenched his fists, then bowed respectfully to Song Xiaodong, saying, "Zhentian feels honored to follow the Family Head in this life."

Song Xiaodong helped Su Zhentian up, and the two of them exchanged smiles.

After settling Su Zhentian, Song Xiaodong returned to the main villa. At this time, the living room was bustling with excitement as the main figures from both the Sun and Su families chatted eagerly, an interaction never before so harmonious.

"Family Head!" Not just the Su Family members, but also the Sun Family members all stood up and respectfully called out, each one showing sincere respect.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Please, everyone, take a seat."

After everyone sat down, the Patriarch of the Sun Family laughed and said, "Patriarch Song, we owe this success to your efforts. You definitely deserve a great merit for this."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Patriarch, you flatter me. I did it for the Su Family, and I must also thank you for your unwavering support."

The old master of the Sun family replied with a smile, "It is only right. By working with you, we can develop together."

Today, the Su Family held a grand banquet where everyone drank merrily. Su Zhentian, Sun Yiyi, and Shen Ning did not participate. Everyone took turns toasting Song Xiaodong, and another highly celebrated person was Xu Hao, who delivered the final blow in the fight, naturally earning major credit.

Family members of Song Xiaodong naturally took part too, but in such an occasion, they could only watch the respect and admiration towards Song Xiaodong from everyone else and couldn’t express their private affection for Song Xiaodong.

Not until late into the night did everyone happily wind down, and Song Xiaodong returned to the main villa.

Finally, with no outsiders around, the constraints were lifted. Miao Xuanxuan immediately sat on Song Xiaodong’s lap, planted a kiss on Song Xiaodong’s face, and said, "Dongzi, you were really glorious tonight. Those Su Family members, each one of them looked at you with such fervent eyes, it’s simply like they worship you immensely."

Tonight, the topic most discussed was the fight. Even though the ladies didn’t witness it, they could imagine the scene in their minds.

Xiao Yingying hugged Song Xiaodong’s neck from behind the sofa and laughed, "Good thing they’re not girls, or I would have been jealous."

"Giggle..." Suddenly, a series of silvery laughter rang out in the room.

Everyone was generous with their praise for Song Xiaodong, and Song Xiaoru chuckled softly, saying, "If you praise him like this, be careful he may become arrogant and stop caring about you."

Song Xiaodong’s gaze swept over everyone, and a gentle smile appeared on his face as he said, "That will absolutely not happen. No matter what happens to me in the future, you are my family, the people I cherish and love the most."

Sitting on the side, Sun Ziyun felt a bit sour watching the women flirt with Song Xiaodong; she had been here for a few days and had few chances to interact with Xiaodong.

Gathering her courage, Sun Ziyun stepped in front of Song Xiaodong, and suddenly everyone fell silent, all eyes on her.

"Dongzi, I know I don’t have a place in your heart right now, but I believe I will earn your acceptance with my actions." After speaking, she leaned forward and gave a light kiss on Song Xiaodong’s forehead.

Song Xiaodong didn’t dodge or reject it; firstly, he was in a good mood today, and secondly rejecting her at this moment would be too crushing, especially since Sun Ziyun was staying here and given the current situation with the Sun Family, it was impossible for Song Xiaodong to send her back.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, I look forward to your performance."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ziyun’s face immediately lit up with joy. While Xiaodong didn’t directly accept her, his attitude showed he was no longer opposed to her advances.

"Thank you, Dongzi!" Sun Ziyun leaned in once more and this time kissed Xiaodong’s cheek.

Song Xiaodong was actually somewhat helpless; he definitely did not like marriages of convenience, but given his position, he couldn’t just refuse outright.

Everyone chuckled, and Song Xiaoru said, "Zi Yun, keep it up. We hope you can blend into this big family soon." Since the situation couldn’t be changed, Xiaoru thought about maintaining harmony, not wanting any discord in the household.

In this family, Song Xiaoru was most concerned about this matter for Xiaodong, while others seemed to enjoy life more, she always thought about how to keep everyone together peacefully to avoid conflicts.

"That’s it, I really need to get a good sleep now," said Song Xiaodong as he stood up.

With a mischievous expression Xiao Yingying said, "You’re so happy today, how about rewarding you with a new beauty? Let Zi Yun keep you company."

Blushing, Sun Ziyun bit her lip, bravely looking at Xiaodong. If Xiaodong agreed, she would not refuse, and she felt a secret hope that he would.

Looking at Sun Ziyun, Song Xiaodong gently shook his head and said, "Zi Yun, there’s no rush for that. I do not wish for loveless intimacy; it would be disrespectful to you. This, Qingyue understands best, I hope you can understand."

Sun Ziyun was initially quite upset when Xiaodong refused, but his tone comforted her greatly and even heightened her affection for him. She knew a man who respected women like him would definitely treat her well if they were together.

"Dongzi, I’ve truly fallen for you, and I will make you fall for me, for sure!" Sun Ziyun clenched her fist, then smiled and said, "Envious of the sisters who get to spend the night with Dongzi today."

She spoke so naturally that she felt she was gradually becoming part of this family.
