Chapter 2978: Chapter 2978: Paving a New Path for Himself
To put it another way, if they are truly impervious, he can use the excuse of visiting the estate a few more times to establish a slight connection between the Le Family and the City Lord Residence.
Whether or not there really is a connection doesn’t matter, what matters most is how people outside perceive the relationship between the Le Family and the City Lord Residence.
"Yes, Family Head."
Old Jing responded, then looked up at the Head of the Le Family.
"Family Head, today Steward Zhao managed to offend that couple and the Young City Lord Bai. Do you think we should make some gesture?"
Upon hearing this, the Head of the Le Family thought for a while and nodded.
If it were someone else daring to bully the people of his Le Family, he definitely wouldn’t let them off easily.
But now the person is from the City Lord Residence, it’s different. A gesture is needed, otherwise, people will hold a grudge. Let alone trying to curry favor, they’d be lucky if they weren’t given a hard time.
The Head of the Le Family took a deep breath and cursed while putting his hands on his hips: "That good-for-nothing troublemaker!"
Old Jing shrugged noncommittally. Steward Zhao’s arrogance outside probably has something to do with the Family Head’s favoritism, doesn’t it? What’s the use of bringing it up now?
Originally a servant, if they cause trouble outside, whatever should be done should be done, whether it’s punishment, expulsion, or even execution.
Yet, the Head of the Le Family managed to raise some people who bring negative attention to the Le Family.
Now, with just a simple task, they managed to offend people, even dragging the City Lord Residence into it. Truly, they asked for it.
"Have Steward Zhao prepare a generous gift, let him... No, let the young masters accompany him to the City Lord Residence to apologize to that couple."
The Head of the Le Family instructed.
Given their status, if no one accompanies them, it’s likely Steward Zhao alone won’t even get past the gate of the City Lord Residence.
So, let his son accompany him, at least as someone representative of the Le Family.
"This... Alright."
Old Jing opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he just closed it.
He wanted to suggest that the Family Head go along. That way, they could meet the couple and lay the groundwork for a future meeting, avoiding too much awkwardness.
But clearly, the Family Head was unwilling to lose face like this.
He didn’t push further, knowing that if he did and the Family Head was mistreated at the City Lord Residence, all the blame would fall on him.
Though he was a counselor, he wasn’t going to throw all of himself into it for the Le Family. He had to keep his exit strategy intact for survival.
"I shall go find the young masters now."
Hopefully, that arrogant young master won’t make things worse.
No, he must make things clear to the young masters, otherwise, if trouble arises, he’d be blamed for not giving proper instructions, effectively taking the fall once again.
Walking out of the Head of the Le Family’s courtyard, he looked up at the azure sky and sighed lightly. It seems that staying with the Le Family isn’t viable for much longer, he must find a new path for himself.
In White Lion City, everyone knows Old Jing as the Le Family’s counselor, staying any longer in White Lion City is likely not possible.
"Headache."
He murmured, rubbing his brow.
Even a legitimate young lady from the Le Family can cause it to fall apart. The Le Family is truly rotten to the core. No matter how talented he is, he can’t save those who are hell-bent on self-destruction.
He summoned someone from his team.
