With a loud announcement from the Su Family butler, all eyes in the banquet hall converged on the center. Elder Su walked slowly onto the stage, dressed in a magnificent birthday robe and looking full of vigor. A happy smile beamed across his face as he bowed to the assembled guests.
"Today marks my seventieth birthday. I thank all my family and friends for coming, especially my young friend Ling Xiao, who previously saved my life. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you here. From this day forward, young friend Ling Xiao is an honored guest of the Su Family. Should he ever face any difficulties in the future, the Jiangcheng Group will offer its full support," Elder Su announced, sparking a wave of shock and applause among the guests.
Down below, the guests whispered among themselves: What kind of ability does this punk have? Just because he saved Elder Su's life, he gets the full backing of the Su Family? Sure, it's a life-saving grace, but looking at this punk's impoverished appearance, he clearly has no background at all. Wouldn't a bit of money have sufficed to send him away?
