Chapter 51: Loss of Face
Xiao Ru Song looked at the Blood Source Stone in his hands; it was a treasure passed down through the generations of the Xiao Family.
There was a secret in the Xiao Family: within their bloodline lay a hidden treasure.
Whoever could unlock this treasure would become the Family Head of the Xiao Family.
Moreover, their own strength would progress by leaps and bounds!
Becoming a legendary immortal would not be out of the question!
And this Blood Source Stone was the key to unlocking the treasure.
It is said that whoever encounters the Blood Source Stone glowing and radiating heat is a descendant of their ancestors.
This stone could also help the Xiao Family unlock their bloodline treasures!
While Xiao Ru Song was still in shock, the surrounding hall had already erupted into chaos.
“Who is this guy! How dare he call the Family Head of the Xiao Family by name?”
“Don’t you know? He is the country bumpkin son-in-law of the Nan family!”
“Is it really him? This country bumpkin has quite a bit of nerve! The Nan family must thank the Yang Family for their cooperation; otherwise, they wouldn’t have a chance at all!”
Many people in the bidding hall looked at Bai Chen with mocking eyes, as if they were watching a joke.
The members of the Nan family wore grim expressions, wishing they could slice Bai Chen to pieces.
“You stupid fool, what are you doing! Are you crazy?”
Nan Zhan Fei glared fiercely at Bai Chen, cursing at him.
Xu Qing also shot a venomous look at Bai Chen.
“You country bumpkin are bringing us trouble! Hurry up and sit down!”
“Second Brother, control your people!”
Nan Zhan Shan glanced at Bai Chen and scolded Nan Zhan Fei.
“Big Brother, he is not even one of us from the Nan family! He has caused such a huge mess for us! Do you see if I can kick him out?”
“Not only does he not contribute to the Nan family, but he also deliberately creates chaos! I see this country bumpkin just can’t stand to see us do well!”
Xu Qing spoke sharply, pointing at Bai Chen while berating him.
In contrast, a hint of panic appeared in Nan Jiang Hong and Nan Xuan Fei’s eyes.
They exchanged glances, and Nan Xuan Fei immediately turned to scold Bai Chen.
“Bai Chen! What are you doing! Our Nan family is lucky to participate in this project! Don’t make trouble here!”
Nan Jiang Hong also shot a displeased look at Bai Chen.
“Bai Chen, sit down!”
Bai Chen looked at the expressions of Nan Jiang Hong and Nan Xuan Fei and sneered.
“I thought the Xiao Family was doing this for a reason. You must have had a hand in it!”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Nan Jiang Hong and Nan Xuan Fei’s faces turned ugly in unison.
“So what! Collaborating with the Yang Family is definitely the best choice! What do you know!”
“Exactly! Stay out of it! This matter has nothing to do with you!”
Nan Yue Ran looked at this scene, feeling confused and worried for Bai Chen.
Bai Chen coldly gazed at Nan Jiang Hong and Nan Xuan Fei, rage bubbling within him.
In the distance, Zhao Ruilong, the Family Head of the Zhao Family, and Su Zong Sheng, the Family Head of the Su Family, furrowed their brows.
Su Zong Sheng turned to Su Qing Li beside him and said,
“The only person in Lintai who can heal the Xiao Family’s patients is Mr. Bai. If he is indeed the one treating the target of this bidding, how could there possibly be any involvement from the Yang Family? I suspect there’s something shady going on!”
The members of the Zhao Family shared the same concern.
“Ya, this is complicated!”
Zhao Ruilong narrowed his eyes at Zhao Ya.
On the bidding stage, Xiao Ru Song stared in shock at the Blood Source Stone in his hand.
Other members of the Xiao Family rushed over as well.
“Family Head! Should we kick that guy out? How dare he disrupt our bidding conference!”
“Exactly! These people from a small place have never seen the world! They need to be taught a lesson!”
However, Xiao Ru Song raised his hand to stop the Xiao Family members.
“Wait! The Blood Source Stone is reacting! He is most likely our ancestor!”
“What?!”
All the members of the Xiao Family were stunned.
The legend of the Blood Source Stone was no secret in the Xiao Family.
Yet for more than a thousand years, this stone had shown no change, and the Xiao family members had only regarded it as a worthless rock.
Now, as the Blood Source Stone truly began to glow and emit heat, they were all left speechless.
Bai Chen grinned coldly at the crowd on stage.
He stood up and slowly walked forward.
The already shocked crowd became even more astonished at Bai Chen’s actions.
“Is he crazy? This country bumpkin can’t be mentally stable, can he?”
“Quick, call security! And why aren’t the Nan Family members stopping him?”
As Bai Chen got closer, the Blood Source Stone in Xiao Ru Song’s hand grew even hotter.
At this moment, Xiao Ru Song became more convinced that Bai Chen was indeed their ancestor!
In an instant, Xiao Ru Song’s legs felt weak; he felt an overwhelming pressure from Bai Chen.
The surrounding members of the Xiao Family felt the same way!
Bang!
The next moment, all the members of the Xiao Family knelt before Bai Chen.
Silence filled the room!
Yang Xiao Tian, sitting among the Yang Family, looked at this scene with a pale face.
What is going on here?
“Is this how the Xiao Family keeps their promises?”
Bai Chen said coldly.
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Xiao Ru Song was momentarily stunned.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chang Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Bai Chen’s expression.
“F-Family Head, he is the doctor who cured the young lady!”
Xiao Ru Song felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Bai Chen coldly stared at Xiao Chang Yuan.
“Didn’t I tell you who to collaborate with for this project?”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Xiao Chang Yuan’s legs trembled.
Xiao Ru Song quickly realized something was wrong.
There must be an issue!
“Ancestor, Ancestor, there’s something wrong!”
“It was the Nan Family and Yang Family who came to us wanting to make changes!”
“We in the Xiao Family have been deceived!”
Bai Chen snorted coldly.
“Ancestor? I do not have such unworthy descendants!”
“Xiao Yan really has a good bunch of successors!”
As he spoke, Xiao Ru Song felt the pressure increase tremendously.
But he quickly understood what to do.
Xiao Ru Song suppressed the pressure and stood up to announce,
“Today, the Xiao Family is changing our collaboration partner for the bidding conference!”
“We will be cooperating with Miss Nan Yue Ran from the Nan Family!”
Upon hearing Xiao Ru Song’s words, Bai Chen’s momentum lessened.
The members of the Xiao Family felt as if a great weight had lifted from their shoulders and stood up.
Xiao Ru Song scanned the expressions of shock and confusion from the crowd and spoke,
“This time, it was Doctor Bai who treated our Xiao Family’s patients!”
“However, the Yang Family took advantage and deceived me! I declare that the Xiao Family will not cooperate with the Yang Family in any field! Any previous agreements are hereby nullified!”
Hearing Xiao Ru Song’s words, everyone stared in shock at the Yang Family.
Su Qing Li, who was closer to the Yang Family, couldn’t help but snort coldly after hearing Xiao Ru Song’s statement.
“Do these people even deserve to stand alongside our Su Family? They are good at using pressure and deceit!”
The Yang Family members turned pale with anger upon hearing Su Qing Li’s words.
Meanwhile, the surrounding people began to discuss among themselves.
“I can’t believe the Yang Family would act this way! Such shamelessness!”
“Business competition always involves rivals; there’s nothing wrong with using any methods! I think the Yang Family is in the right!”
“But shouldn’t you be surprised at how this country bumpkin managed to achieve it? He actually cured the Xiao Family’s patients?”
“Who knows? It was probably just a lucky coincidence!”
Yang Xiao Tian’s face darkened.
He coldly glared at Bai Chen on the stage, then stood up and left.
The members of the Yang Family followed him out of the conference hall.
This time, the Yang Family’s reputation was completely tarnished.
Seeing this, Xiao Ru Song respectfully addressed Bai Chen,
“Doctor Bai… Ancestor, what do you think about how this matter has been handled?”
