The Dragon Beside Me
During the meal, the Chu family had tried to get along with Qin Rou. However, the woman continued to ignore them, making them feel embarrassed.
The Long family's elders were angry when they saw how she had behaved but none of them could say anything while facing this daughter-in-law. With Qin Rou's identity and background, they could not afford to offend her.
The look on the elders' faces was not very pleasant.
They had thought that their plan would go well with Qin Rou away from the residence. However, the woman decided to return at a time like this.
In the end, the meal ended in an awkward atmosphere.
The Chu family was embarrassed but could not show their face. They did not dare to stay longer and decided to leave earlier.
Once the family had left, the atmosphere in the dining hall turned very quiet. It was as if no one dared to say a word.
It was Long Yuan who had broken the silence first. "Qin Rou, why did you decide to return?"
"I heard that the elders were setting up my son with a girl," Qin Rou said. "If I did not return in time, how was I going to find out about the person that my son is going to marry?"
The elders' expressions turned darker. Qin Rou was usually very obedient and did not talk too much. But whenever it was involved her son, Qin Rou was not afraid to cause trouble with them. She became very domineering and protective.
Qin Rou had thought that it was enough to threaten her husband by moving out of the house. She only wanted her husband to treat her son well. However, the man had taken advantage of her absence. He still did not listen to her and still wanted to use her son this way.
Her eyes were shooting a dagger at her husband. The elder dragon was always so aloof but with his wife, even Long Chen would be scared.
He had thought that he would head over to his in-laws' place and coax his wife after he had made this arrangement for his son. However, someone had broken this news to his wife instead.
Long Chen was suddenly afraid of what his wife would do. He could not live without her.
"Mom, be at ease." Long Fei stretched his hand to hold his mother's. He flashed her an assuring smile and spoke, "Unless if I am willing to marry, no one can force me to do anything."
"That's ridiculous!" One of the elders in the family, called Long Xiao spoke. "Initially, we let you have your time to look for that woman but a long time has passed and you still could not find her. Long Fei, are you planning to spend the rest of your life without marrying? Don't forget who you are and what kind of identity you have."
"So what if I don't marry? In the end, this bloodline will end and my descendant will not have to face what I have faced now. I think this is a very good idea."
The elders' faces blackened upon hearing his words.
"The Long family has been around for hundreds of years. Are you saying that you are willing to see it end like this?"
"Even without me, it would not be impossible for the Long family to survive," Long Fei said. "I still have many cousins. But I'm guessing that you guys were afraid of losing what my blood can do for you, isn't that right."
"Long Fei," Lon Chen stood up with an angry look on his face. "Stop being rude to your elders."
"Long Chen, don't you dare yell at my son!" Qin Ruo narrowed her eyes.
Long Fei watched this scene and his expression turned uglier. He stood up beside his mother and turned to look at the elder's face, one by one. The corner of his lips turned up into a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Seeing how his pupils had turned into vertical slits, the elders around them began to worry that this younger dragon would suddenly go crazy.
"I can listen to you and marry whoever you chose," Long Fei said.
Everyone in the room gave a different reaction to his declaration. The elders were unable to hide the joy.
However, both Long Yuan and Long Chen knew that something was about to happen. Long Fei would not give in that easily. This boy had a trick under his sleeve.
"Ah Fei," Qin Ruo turned and held her son's arms tightly. Among everyone in the room, the person who was worried the most was Qin Ruo.
Long Fei gave his mother a gentle squeeze on her arms. Then, he spoke to the elders again. "But then, I will no longer contribute Blue Media Group's profit into the family."
His words caused a roar among the elders.
"You cannot do that!" Long Xiao slapped his hand hard on the table. "Blue Media Group…"
"Is my hard work," Long Fei spoke before the man could finish his words. "I build the company from scratch. Without the family's money and influence to get to where it is now. I don't need your approval if I no longer want to give you money."
The elders became speechless upon hearing his words.
The family had always enjoyed their wealth and reputation. However, Long Fei still leave home and build up Blue Media Group from scratch until the company got to where it was now. Even with his background, no one had said anything or lent him any help.
When the company made a lot of money, he had put a percentage of profit into the family's fund. The elders saw that much money that his company had made and become excited. The media group made a lot of money and had many influences.
They could see the potential in the company and had wanted to let Long Fei let their children enter the company. However, other than Long Yu Heng, no one else was able to take a step into the company's building.
This was one of the reasons that the elders wanted to control Long Fei.
"If you can agree with this, then, I will follow your arrangement," Long Fei said.
The elders exchanged their glances. After a while, a servant walked over and whispered a few words to Long Xiao. Instantly, the old man's face turned darker.. His eyes shifted to Long Fei with a pair of eyes that were full of resentment.
