Old Master Chu stopped on the road, listening to the continuous angry roars coming from the courtyard, and let out a long sigh. His intestines were twisted in a knot.
The old man had always been puzzled; he wasn’t cut out to be a patriarch, just a warrior. He had always kept a respectful distance from the power struggles and had no interest in them. If someone called him foolish, he would admit it, but why had the Ancestral Patriarch chosen him to be the patriarch in the first place?
Poor me, stuck in this blazing fire, has already been roasted for so many years...
That morning, a family meeting was convened, and there was no suspense at all. The opposition from Chu Feiling and his wife, along with opinions from Duan Shuyi and others, were directly ignored.
The resolution was almost unanimously passed.
In the face of enormous benefits, a mere Chu Yang was simply not taken seriously by the family’s core members: just someone who had recently returned, with a set of exquisite medical skills, but whose martial arts and cultivation level had been completely wasted... just a useless person!
Occupying over a hundred thousand Amethyst resources each year alone? That was quite something...
It was unacceptable.
Yang Ruolan flipped the meeting table on the spot, kicking the table in front of Chu Feiling away, and grabbed another table nearby, smashing it down on Chu Feilong's head.
Then, several slaps landed on Chu Feilong's face as she pointed at him and shouted, "Chu Feilong, I know this is your evil idea! I tell you, I can tolerate the past, but... from now on, if you dare to touch even a hair on my son, I will slaughter your three sons!"
This action left everyone present at the Chu Family meeting in shock!
Chu Feilong couldn't evade, but Yang Ruolan was his sister-in-law. As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is more powerful than a mother in such a public situation, so he could only endure it.
Wiping the wood shavings off his face, a flicker of cold light flashed in Chu Feilong's eyes, and he forced a bitter smile, "Sister-in-law, you are overreacting... My younger brother is just doing this for the sake of our family's growth and prosperity..."
Yang Ruolan sneered coldly and said, "You know exactly what it's for! If you don't want to be cut off, then behave yourself!"
Kicking away a few tables closest to her, Yang Ruolan strode out, leaving behind a statement: "A bunch of jealous mob of misfits, yet they still want to develop and strengthen the family! What a joke!"
This statement insulted the entire Chu Family!
Chu Feiling hurriedly chased after her, worried about what might happen in his wife's fury...
A heavy silence ensued.
Old Master Chu's face darkened, his expression blank.
One of the stewards mustered the courage to say, "This… how can this be? The madam is so narrow-minded, fighting for power and profit, is that how a daughter-in-law should behave? Patriarch, I suggest punishing her..."
Before he could finish, Chu Feilong suddenly stood up, slapping him hard, and angrily said, "That’s what my sister-in-law is supposed to do! Who do you think you are? Dare to meddle in our family affairs!"
The person was caught off guard, instantly left in a state of embarrassment, seeing stars in front of him, completely at a loss.
Chu Feilong wiped cold sweat from his forehead. Making Chu Yang hand over the clinic had already made the old man unhappy. If he proposed punishing Yang Ruolan at this moment, the old man, who already felt guilty towards his grandson, would definitely not target his grandson's mother. If anything, the old man might explode on the spot, and everything would fall apart...
Chu Feilong's intervention was timely. The old man was about to explode but was forced to hold it back due to his actions.
Chu Yang was in the clinic, holding the hand of a beady-eyed old man, desperately trying to persuade him to buy some Amethyst.
The matters regarding the Xiao Clan and the Li Clan had left Chu Yang in great spirits. So he had been smiling all day.
