Chu Yang had a loyal and honest expression, even appearing somewhat foolish and naive.
Inside, he felt a surge of determination, thinking, "What do I care about you, second uncle? You are simply malicious! How dare you bully my mother... Damn it, if I don't make you suffer today, I might as well not be surnamed Chu!"
He would follow his mother’s surname, Yang! From now on, he would call himself Yang Yang!
Chu Imperial Seat was seething with rage, yet on the surface, he appeared innocent and utterly loyal.
However, as soon as Chu Yang spoke those words, everyone in the room was stunned.
Old man Chu Xiong Cheng opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t utter a word, eventually closing his mouth and shaking his head repeatedly.
Damn it, just a moment ago I praised him, thinking this grandson who just returned home was very sensible and loyal... I didn’t expect his next sentence would set off a bomb!
Moreover, this bomb was of no ordinary level.
What a troublemaker; on the first day of recognizing his roots, he opened his eyes and offended all three uncles to the core...
Chu Feiling’s face darkened, and he turned his head away.
Yang Ruolan maintained a calm demeanor, filled with a sense of satisfaction—how dare you bully me? I have a son to take revenge for me! Chu Feilong, let’s see how you handle this!
How enjoyable! You just wanted to break my son’s fingers, and now my son opens his eyes to slap you with a green hat... Truly a quick repayment for the debt of June!
Delightful!
Chu Feilong’s square, authoritative face turned purple!
No matter how well-mannered one is, they cannot tolerate such words, as it was the greatest disgrace for a man! He angrily asked, "Nephew, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Yang put on a foolish smile and, with a voice filled with sincerity as if he wanted to take out his heart, said, "Second uncle, although I only just entered the family today, your passionate dedication and actions for the family were all filled with loyalty and righteousness! I greatly admire that. From that moment, I vowed for this lifetime to learn from you, to take you as my role model, and wholeheartedly work for the benefit of the family! Even if it means facing a thousand blades, crossing fire and boiling oil, I will strive to uphold the Chu Family and maintain the purity of our bloodline!"
He took a few weak breaths before continuing to bare his heart, "Second uncle, you see, although I just entered the family today, my father is the eldest son, and I am naturally the eldest grandson! The responsibility on my shoulders is tremendous!"
"Currently, Nine Heavens is turbulent, with treachery and schemes arising endlessly! Our Chu Family… isn't one of the nine great sovereign clans standing at the peak, is it? Our position is quite unstable, and everyone… wants to swallow us up, right?"
"What a dire situation!" Chu Yang sighed deeply, "Such a heavy burden has fallen on my shoulders, and as a small nephew with narrow shoulders, how can I bear it? I need your strong support, second uncle."
Chu Imperial Seat spoke earnestly and sincerely, delivering a heartfelt and gentle speech.
However, everyone was left with a mixed bag of emotions: Is this guy already positioning himself as the future patriarch? How could he talk about 'heavy burdens and narrow shoulders'… didn't he just mention being the patriarch?
He has already started with 'second uncle, you need to assist me...'
I really can’t believe this...
After Chu Imperial Seat finished speaking, he added, "Second uncle, don’t you agree?"
Before Chu Feilong could respond, Chu Yang smoothly continued, "Of course, second uncle has no objections. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell, this is heartfelt for the good of the family..."
As soon as Chu Feilong opened his mouth, Chu Yang had already finished, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. In front of his father and brothers, how could he argue with a nephew he just met? He could only swallow hard.
"Since my position is so important, and my responsibility so great!" Chu Yang, full of determination, exclaimed: "How can I not devote myself wholeheartedly? How can I not work for the family’s cause until my last breath? How can I not ensure the purity of our family’s bloodline?"
