It was silent. So silent you could hear a pin drop, a stillness that made one's heart tremble.
The trembling hearts belonged to the people of the Su Family's manor, none of whom had ever dreamed that Su Qingning would manage to get into the good graces of the Shao Family's heiress.
Su Daonong wanted to die. In all his sixty-odd years, he had never encountered a situation like this. Kneel? Of course, he didn't want to. He was a million times against it. He was the head of the Su Family and the president of the Su Corporation! To kneel before a junior... If word of this got out, how could he ever show his face in public again?
But if he didn't kneel, he would lose this golden opportunity to latch onto the Shao Family. He had already offended Su Qingning, which was the absolute last thing he wanted. Only by keeping Su Qingning in the Su Family could they forge a connection with the Shaos.
