At this moment, the performers on the stage had finished singing the opera and left the stage.
Then an old man slowly walked onto the stage and raised his head.
He looked at the white-haired old man in front of him.
Suddenly.
He knelt down.
He shouted, “Greetings to Grand Master. I’m guilty and the Du family is guilty…”
He sobbed the words out, touching the few people present.
Of course, they were more astonished than touched because the one kneeling was the Du family’s Second Master.
Such a figure actually kneeling before an old man they had never seen before was truly shocking.
The performers who had been singing on the stage were even more alarmed, afraid that the important guests in the VIP room were not satisfied with their performance.
Su Yingxue, who was sitting below the stage, was stunned. After all, she was here alone and she had never imagined that Second Master Du had come here to kneel to the ancestor and admit his mistakes.
At this moment, a faint voice came from the VIP room.
“What are you guilty of?”
“I…”
Kneeling on the stage, Second Master Du wanted to say something but stopped, but his eyes were filled with pain. This pain was more of guilt and remorse.
Then, he kowtowed three times to the mysterious old man in the VIP room.
The sounds of his head hitting the floor were very clear in the quiet theater.
“I lost the Su family.
“Master, please punish me. The Du family has let Grand Master down!”
With tears flowing down his face, Second Master Du spoke in a muffled voice.
Then, he kowtowed more than ten times. The old man’s forehead was red and his head began to feel a little dizzy. However, without the old ancestor’s permission, he did not dare to stop.
Even Chen Hao and the others did not dare to stop him.
Obviously, the old man in the VIP room was a big shot.
Young Master Qin and the others were even more astonished.
At first, he thought that Second Master Du had knelt down to propose to Su Yingxue.
After all, Su Yingxue was the only female in the theatre.
But to their surprise, a vigorous voice came from the VIP room upstairs, “What are you guilty of?”
Young Master Qin and the others looked around, trying to see whom Second Master Du was talking to.
At this moment, the curtain of the No. 1 VIP room was gently pulled open.
Then, an old man walked out with a walking stick.
Su Ze!
When these second-generation heirs saw Su Ze, their eyeballs almost fell out.
“This is Su Yingxue’s great-grandfather?”
Young Master Qin and the others took a deep breath. “What did Second Master Du call him just now?”
The other young masters blurted out in unison, “Grand Master!”
Chen Hao, who was watching from the side, was also stunned.
He couldn’t understand.
Although the Du family wasn’t as prosperous as it used to be, in this era of capitalism, in the area of Jiangbei, the Du family’s power was incomparable to that of the new tycoons.
Even if many people were richer than the Du family nowadays, in this place, Du family’s words had more weight than all the others.
After all, the foundation of the big wealthy family was unshakable.
He did not know what kind of existence the Su family had been in the past, and he did not dare to imagine it. However, in this era where money was paramount, the Su family’s wealth and value was gone long ago.
Compared to the Du family, the current Su family was simply insignificant.
Even though they had been relatives, it was useless. The weak would be replaced by the strong.
He had thought that Second Master Du was just putting on a show to the ancestor and the other three great families and he just wanted to use Su Yingxue to secure Du family’s position.
However, he was wrong. Second Master Du was not putting on a show. Instead, he fervently worshiped Su Ze!
Chen Hao watched as Su Ze walked out slowly with a domineering look on his determined face.
Su Ze stood there looking down from above with both hands on his walking stick. Although he was old, his aura gave Chen Hao the feeling that he was looking at his superior.
He had never seen this kind of aura before and felt the urge to kneel down.
He could only think of one explanation for this.
That was that the old man had the ability to make the entire Du family fear him.
Even if hundreds of years had passed, as long as he was not dead, his influence would always be there.
No one had expected that Second Master Du, one of the top local tyrants in Jiangbei City, would actually kneel down to this old man and even addressed him as Grand Master!
It shocked everyone present.
They had learnt of the deeds of the Du family and Second Master Du from their parents ever since they were kids. In their opinion and impression, such a figure would never bow to anyone.
However, today, not only did he kneel down, but he also kowtowed more than ten times and even respectfully called the old man Grand Master.
To Young Master Qin and his buddies, they were shocked that Second Master Du was kneeling to the insignificant old man who had appeared in the live broadcast of Su Yingxue, a small streamer without any background.
At this moment, they finally understood Chen Hao’s attitude towards Su Ze, and why Second Master Du, who lived in seclusion, would personally meet Su Yingxue in a western restaurant and give her all kinds of luxury bags.
They did it to please this old man.
After all, with Du family’s ability, it was easy for them to find out that Su Yingxue was a member of the Su family.
But they offered to help Su Yingxue only now.
They hadn’t come before because Su Yingxue’s great-grandfather was not around. Now that her great-grandfather had appeared, second master Du’s kneeling down and admitting his mistakes had a deeper meaning.
He wanted the old man to acknowledge that they were relatives.
Thinking of this, the group of people gasped.
