Chapter 2973: Chapter 2973: What Are You So Happy About?

"Who says we’re family? Watch your words—don’t let a strong wind twist your tongue because the weather’s bad!" Hong Tianxu immediately distanced himself upon hearing the man’s attempt to cozy up to him.

Did they really think he was the gullible person from yesterday, who almost fell for their tricks? Today, he won’t allow this old man to get close to him.

Wanting to forcefully associate themselves with the Le Family also depends on whether they’re willing to, isn’t it?

"Uh, you’re... Young Master Hong, right? You’re back in White Lion City." Steward Zhao finally noticed Hong Tianxu standing aside.

Though he was annoyed that a mere human dared to speak in front of him, he knew he couldn’t afford to offend this man and had to begrudgingly engage him in conversation.

In White Lion City, everyone knew the City Lord’s Wife particularly doted on this nephew from her daughter-in-law’s family, mentioning him every day.

Even her own son didn’t receive such treatment.

Normally, the City Lord’s Wife’s attitude would cause dissatisfaction in her husband’s family elsewhere, but ironically, both City Lord Bai and Young City Lord Bai held Hong Tianxu, an outsider, in high regard too.

Therefore, Hong Tianxu was someone in the City Lord Residence who couldn’t be offended.

"Again? Is Steward Zhao hoping this Young Master wouldn’t visit White Lion City? Listen to this tone—how exactly did I offend you?" Hong Tianxu retorted.

What business was it of this old codger whether he came to White Lion City or not? Even if he lived at the City Lord Residence, it was his uncle-in-law’s home—so what, does a steward of a Second Family Clan think he can drive him out of White Lion City?

"It seems White Lion City is indeed dominated by the Le Family, doesn’t it? Even a mere steward can comment on this Young Master."

"No, no, that’s not it, Young Master Hong. You’ve misunderstood; how would I dare have such thoughts?"

Steward Zhao was scared into a cold sweat by Hong Tianxu’s words. If this got out—not just him, but the entire Le Family would be wiped from White Lion City in no time.

"I’m thrilled that you’re visiting White Lion City—how could I dare think otherwise? Also, my Family Head absolutely takes the City Lord Residence as their lead."

He pointed skyward with one hand, almost swearing an oath. This Young Master Hong was truly ruthless—just one sentence, and he wanted to get the Le Family to offend the City Lord Residence.

The Le Family was already sitting on a powder keg; if they offended the City Lord Residence too, they’d have no chance at survival.

As a steward of the Le Family, he often handled affairs for the Family Head, earning them many enemies. If the Le Family fell from grace, what would become of him?

"I’ve come to White Lion City to visit my uncle and aunt. So why are you so excited? Do you want to use me as a raft for some misdeed?"

Hong Tianxu asked sternly, feeling that it really might be possible.

The Le Family was in danger now; if they didn’t react, they might be expelled from White Lion City. At this time, the Head of the Le Family would try every means possible to stabilize the Le Family.

Perhaps they’d even plan to take advantage of the City Lord Residence?

Steward Zhao: "..."

No matter what he said, it seemed wrong, right?

This Young Master Hong really had a sharp tongue, capable of turning black into white.

He had never even thought of harming him. The Le Family had already made enemies; if they offended someone from the City Lord Residence too, there would be nothing left to live for. Could he stop making things difficult for him?
