Having sensed Su Chen's meaningful gaze, Yun Shiqing finally steeled his heart, lifted his head, and said:
"Brother Liu, Brother Lv, I know this is rather excessive, but Mr. Su once saved my son Yunlong's life. I hope you can grant me this favor and let this matter slide, can we?"
Upon hearing Yun Shiqing's words, everyone immediately understood, no wonder Yunlong treated him as elder brother, no wonder Yun Shiqing was so polite to him—it turned out to be a life-saving favor! That made sense!
After all, Yun Shiqing had only this one son; naturally, such a favor needed to be greatly repaid!
Liu Yongyuan hesitated upon hearing this; he hadn't expected that Su Chen and the Yun Family had this sort of relationship.
For Liu Yongyuan, though avenging his son was important, ultimately, the interests of the family were paramount.
While he could act according to his moods with individuals like Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen, he had to consider more carefully when dealing with the Yun Family.
Moreover, although his son's injuries looked severe, they weren't going to leave many lasting effects. In some time, he would be able to walk with crutches, and in half a year's time, he could walk normally.
Plus, the Liu Family wasn't as influential as before. If they were to confront the Yun Family head-on, it wouldn't end well.
With these thoughts, Liu Yongyuan's expression gradually relaxed...
"To think Uncle Yun and this Mr. Su have such a connection, it really isn't right to push too far."
Just then, Lv Shimo spoke up again, glancing at Su Chen as he said:
"However, since Young Master Liu has been beaten up like this, perhaps Mr. Su should simply apologize to him, and we can let this matter rest, what do you say? If not even that is acceptable, where would we put the dignity of Uncle Liu and the Liu Family?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.
However, Su Chen gradually narrowed his eyes. This eldest son of the Lv Family was indeed not easy to deal with, hiding a knife in his smile!
He appeared very reasonable and fair, but he had placed himself and the Liu Family high above.
Originally, he had also noticed that Liu Yongyuan's attitude had softened. A mere mention of "giving face to the Yun Family Head" could have let the matter rest.
This would not only preserve the Liu Family's dignity but might even make others think the Liu Family was magnanimous.
But with Lv Shimo's words, they were left with only one option—Su Chen must apologize!
If Su Chen didn't apologize, then the Liu Family could not let the matter drop without losing face!
Given Lv Shimo's wisdom, he probably could guess what choice he would make, thus escalating the conflict completely. In such a situation, it became a matter of who had more leverage.
Su Chen, while not afraid to confront the Liu Family openly, also disliked being manipulated.
If he wanted to play it this way, then a suitable opportunity to really engage would have to be found...
At this point, Yun Shiqing had nothing more to say, only probing by looking at Su Chen, while Su Chen's face remained undisturbed.
Liu Yongyuan pondered for a moment, then said earnestly:
"Mr. Su, out of respect for the Yun Family Head, please apologize to my son, and we will consider this matter resolved."
In Liu Yongyuan's view, this request was already very lenient. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't refuse.
It wasn't just Liu Yongyuan; others felt the same. To only ask for an apology after beating the young master of the Liu Family to a wheelchair was truly merciful!
Although Liu Qing was itching to flay and devour Su Chen, the current situation forced him to contain his anger, and he said:
"Fine, as long as you properly apologize to me, I will forgive you!"
Su Chen looked at these people and, with a hint of amusement, clicked his tongue. He knew all too well that this was just a temporary compromise by Liu Yongyuan and his son, and they could not possibly let it go so easily.
However, he was also a bit puzzled. It had been so long since that incident, and it seemed like the Liu Family had not taken any drastic action. Could it be that they had no ulterior motive?
Because this was so unlike the behavior of these major families. Or had they changed their approach?
Of course, Su Chen's smile was not because he saw through the hypocrisy of the Liu Family, but because he had never intended to apologize in the first place.
Apologize to them? They would first need to prove they were worthy of that.
Have you ever seen an elephant apologize to an ant it has stepped on?
Lin Ruoxue gently tugged at Su Chen's sleeve from the side, believing that if an apology could resolve the matter, it would already be an ideal situation.
"Apologize?"
Su Chen didn't respond to Lin Ruoxue's subtle gesture, but instead, he smiled and shook his head, saying,
"I might apologize for littering to the janitor, or for stepping on crops to the farmer, or for running a red light to the traffic cop."
"But sorry, I will not apologize to the Liu Family for hitting this young master Liu."
As Su Chen said this, he looked at Liu Yongyuan and his son with a playful glance and spat,
"Because—you don't deserve it!"
At those words, the room instantly erupted, and everyone's eyes widened with disbelief!
This guy had hit young master Liu, and all the Liu Family wanted was an apology, yet he was unwilling to give even that!
Not only did he refuse to apologize, but he also insulted the Liu Family by saying they didn't deserve one!
Wasn't this courting death and forcing the Liu Family not to let him off the hook?
Yun Shiqing also didn't expect Mr. Su to be so stubborn, unwilling to lower his head even slightly.
Moreover, his words had not resolved the conflict but had escalated it!
Even Yun Shiqing began to feel a headache coming on, somewhat at a loss about what to do...
Hidden behind Lv Fang, Lv Shimo's eyes gleamed with a hard-to-detect sparkle, as if he had anticipated such a scenario and, of course, he relished it.
Indeed, right after Su Chen's words, Liu Yongyuan's face instantly darkened, his expression so grim it almost seemed as if it could drip water!
"Family Head Yun, as you can see, the matter today is not that I am not giving you face, but this young man is showing no respect for my Liu Family."
Liu Yongyuan said in a deep voice,
"Manager Pang, what are you waiting for? Get this bastard out of here right now!"
"Exactly, kick this disrespectful fellow out. He's way out of line for not respecting the four great families. He's not welcome here!"
Lv Fang also timely expressed his stance, of course at the behest of Lv Shimo behind him.
Although the Yun Family seemed to have a deep connection with this young man, with both the Liu Family and Lv Family speaking up, he had no choice but to comply!
Just as Pang Chao was about to kick Su Chen out, Yunlong urgently spoke from behind Yun Shiqing,
