The crowd also hurriedly returned the courtesy, repeatedly saying they didn’t dare accept such honor. Although their faces were enthusiastic, they felt sowhat disappointed in their hearts because Leng Xuan had not revealed his identity, which left them feeling insecure.
Liu Yuntian, who was old and cunning, glanced around with narrowed eyes and instantly understood these fellows’ thoughts. He smiled and pulled Leng Xuan to his side, saying, "I forgot to tell you all, Leng Xuan is my godson. However, even though it’s an honorary title, I’ve always treated him as my own grandson, and he also has a share in the future of Liu Corporation." He knew that the status of a godson wasn’t enough to deter so people, as the lack of blood relation ant others wouldn’t care too much; thus, he specifically emphasized his regard for Leng Xuan.
Indeed, his words imdiately shocked everyone present, and their gazes towards Leng Xuan were filled with envy and respect. Although he wasn’t the heir to the Liu Corporation, even a small share from within Liu Corporation would be enough for him to look down on his peers in Baiyun City. Moreover, given Elder Liu’s attitude, it seed he was not just fond of his godson—he was expected to receive so substantial benefits from the Liu Corporation in the future.
Upon hearing Liu Yuntian’s words, Leng Xuan’s face also showed surprise. How did he beco his godson? And through the sowhat ingratiating glances of the people around him, he suddenly realized that in less than ten seconds, his status seed to have soared many tis over. He gave a wry smile and said, "Elder Liu, what kind of play are you putting on here?"
Liu Yuntian replied with a smile and in a soft voice, "What? You wouldn’t bla this old man for taking advantage of you, would you?"
"Elder Liu, you jest. It should be who has taken a huge advantage," Leng Xuan scratched his head, "Besides, you are indeed old enough to be my grandfather, only I don’t understand, why did you do this?"
"All of these guys are opportunistic scoundrels who only have eyes for money, the standard by which they asure everything. Your identity is not sothing these commoners can comprehend," Liu Yuntian explained, "So, I gave you a status to ensure that they dare not disrespect you in the future. In fact, sotis you have to admit that money is indeed a good thing, as it not only earns you the respect of others but also saves you a lot of trouble."
Leng Xuan paused for a mont, then spoke, "From Elder Liu’s words, it seems you know about my identity?"
Liu Yuntian laughed heartily and said, "I know a thing or two, we’ll talk about this topic later."
Leng Xuan nodded and then said with a smile, "In that case, I accept you as my godfather, and from now on I will address you as Grandfather Liu."
Liu Yuntian was instantly overjoyed, repeatedly expressing his delight; he was sincerely happy from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Tao, who was previously acting arrogantly, was now drenched in cold sweat, knowing he had kicked an iron plate. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and, seeing Leng Xuan and Liu Yuntian deeply engaged in conversation, made a movent, intending to slip away quietly. However, no sooner had he made a move than he caught Liu Yuntian’s eye. Liu Yuntian had already known that it was this young man who’d been troubling Leng Xuan and naturally wouldn’t let him off easily. He spoke sternly with a straight face, "Where do you think you’re going?"
Lin Tao’s complexion turned bitter, knowing there was no escape for him. He turned around, putting on an ingratiating smile, and said, "Old Master Liu, it’s my fault for failing to recognize a superior. I offended your grandson and I’m truly sorry. If Brother Leng had revealed his identity sooner, no misunderstanding would have occurred." By saying this, he was managing to absolve himself of guilt.
