Zhong Kang proudly dropped the name of this man, Erhu. It was as if Erhu were his own father, granting Young Master Zhong an unparalleled honor. He even subconsciously stuck his chin out, making sure everyone could see the exaggeratedly smug look on his face as he rode on someone else's coattails.
"Why are you so smug? Is Wang Erhu your father?" Shen Fanyun retorted.
Su Xiyang almost burst out laughing. Shen Fanyun certainly had a knack for putting people in their place.
Zhong Kang stood there stunned. It took him a long moment to realize Shen Fanyun was mocking him. His face instantly flushed red, and he averted his gaze.
Strength respects strength. This was a universally acknowledged truth. Only your own power was the real deal; using someone else's name to bolster your own reputation was ultimately a crooked path and, indeed, a clear sign of borrowing power.
