Chu Yang listened with wide eyes, completely dumbfounded. He admired his uncle Yang Ruoxiong even more! This guy was such a loose cannon that he could go this far...
Chu Yang made an immediate decision: from now on, he absolutely couldn't let this uncle know about any major events!
"That dog of a brother-in-law of yours, how could he keep a secret? I was truly blind back then. He pounded his head and swore he wouldn’t leak anything, and yet that very night he got drunk... The words about keeping it a secret still lingered, but in the blink of an eye, everyone knew... And somehow, this idiot is still my biological son..."
Old Master Yang lamented, tears and snot flowing, pounding his chest and cursing in rage: "He... Ah... that wretch!" But halfway through, he caught sight of Old Madam Yang's darkened face and swallowed part of a certain word.
Chu Yang was completely convinced: Is this even possible? Such a thing could happen!
Old Madam Yang sneered, "Look at how innocent you claim to be... Do you have the face to speak of your son? Those two managers are so afraid of leaking the secret that they've been living at the Yang Family Courtyard, too scared to go home. Usually, they’re nowhere to be seen, guarding the secret like it's a copper wall and iron bastion! Isn’t this all your fault?"
"You keep demanding others to keep secrets, yet you’re happily spreading it around... Where do you get the face to do that? And you still talk about how your son is this or that..."
"When you were drunk back then, didn’t you say the same to your son? Ruoxiong, come here, I’ll tell you a huge secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else..."
Old Madam Yang mimicked him perfectly, then spat, cursing, "The old one is a pig. The younger one is a bear! You two, neither of you can say anything about the other!"
Yang Bao hung his head, speechless.
Chu Yang's forehead was covered in black lines, beads of sweat oozing out from a series of black lines: Not just the uncle, but if anything important happened in the future, he couldn't tell Grandfather either...
This... was simply a death sentence...
Old Madam Yang took over the conversation angrily: "Establishing a family business in a place blessed by the Dragon and Phoenix, what an incredible opportunity! Even the nine great clans haven't had such good fortune! Now, it has fallen to our Yang family. As long as we develop steadily, in a few dozen or even a hundred years, won't the Yang family be flourishing and growing stronger? A feudal lord in the making, just around the corner!"
"For something so beneficial, ensuring a lineage for generations, if it were another family, they wouldn't leak a word even if they died. But in our family, it’s just different!"
"Outsiders can’t even catch a breath to investigate, yet these two pigs have announced it to the world! What infuriates me the most to the point of wanting to commit suicide is... after the secret leaked, these two even discussed 'who leaked the secret' for an entire night... suspecting this one and that one, and only finally heard from someone else... that it was your uncle, that dumb pig, who blurted it out when he was drunk..."
"Given how innocent you two looked at that time! I truly want to spit blood..."
"Yangyang, when I came to see you, it was precisely when that matter had just erupted... using the excuse of visiting my nephew to avoid the storm. Then, just a few months after returning, the Xiao Clan began to make moves..."
Old Master Yang endured the scolding, hanging his head. Occasionally he would raise his head, shake his neck, and turn to look at the ceiling. His expression was awkward, but it was certainly not unbearable...
Clearly, this was not the first time. It seemed Old Master Yang had already grown accustomed to it.
Chu Yang stifled a laugh and consoled, "Grandma, please calm down; this was a moment of carelessness... cough, it can't be entirely blamed on Grandfather and Uncle."
This statement was indeed a bit insincere.
You urge others to keep secrets while your subordinates keep their lips sealed, yet you spread it yourself...
