Chapter 318 - Xiong Zhi and Linfengs proclamation (1/2)

There was a shocking silence inside the hall.

They have heard of the rumors about the ambiguous relationship between this master and servant pair. However, some might believe them but there were still people who did not believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.

Old Xiong trembled in anger at the sight of his granddaughter holding hands with a butler.

Zhou Min finally stepped into the hall. He arrived just in time to witness such a scene.

The first thing he saw was his son and the Young Miss holding hands together, facing the Old Xiong with determined faces…

His vision suddenly went blank.

After a long frozen silence, Old Xiong started to speak.

”Leave.”

Everyone's eyes were diverted from the young pair holding hands towards the elder whose back was trembling in anger.

”Zhou Min, escort everybody out of this room. No one saw what transpired today. Forget everything.”

”Master?” He wanted to cover this up…?

Everyone felt even more shocked.

Some of them, like Xiong Wuyue and Xiong De, appeared unwilling to leave and seemed to have a lot of things they wanted to say, but under Old Xiong's austere face, they had no choice but to swallow it all.

Butler Zhou Min, although confused, obediently opened the door widely. He badly wanted to know what was happening. Why did his son suddenly announce to everyone this grave secret, this kind of relationship that was deemed as corrupt and immoral in the society? With an uneasy heart, he politely asked everyone to leave the hall.

The Zhou elders fretfully left, looking back with shocked and worried gazes in every three steps.

Finally, the door closed heavily, leaving the three alone.

The young pair stood firmly under the angry gaze of the elder who held the greatest power and authority to set them apart.

Old Xiong turned to Xiong Zhi. ”Do you know what you are doing?! You are ruining your reputation and our Xiong family's prestige! Now, what will people would say about you? A vixen? A harlot? The Xiong's chosen heiress was such a temptress that she even seduced her own butler?!”

Old Xiong knew that the words were hurtful, but what the people would say about her would be a hundred times worse than that. He was utterly disappointed and angered at her lack of care for her reputation.

Linfeng did not like the words of Old Xiong.

He was taken aback that his Young Miss did this move of proclaiming their feelings in front of Old Xiong, the second masters, and the elders.
