Chapter 139: A Rebel

Long Fei had a carefree look on his face as he finally leave the dining hall.

Behind him, Long Yu Heng was trailing him with an anxious look on his face. He watched Long Fei's confronting the elders with a pale look on his face wondering if the man was going to lose against the elders.

However, when he thought of how the elders were willing to listen to Long Fei's arrangement because of the money they were going to receive, Long Yu Heng could not help but feel a little cold in his heart.

The elders knew that Long Fei now controlled Blue Media Group. Now, Long Fei was also controlling the shops around the town. They were not willing to part with the source of money. This was the only reason they backed off.

The family has been around for hundreds of years, but in the end, what matters for the elders were money and reputation.

Long Yu Heng could not hide his disappointment, especially towards his grandfather, the old master of the family. Even the person with the highest authority in the family was actually helpless against the elders.

Long Yuan might be the old master of the family but he could not do anything against the elders in the family. Being the master in the family is not a good thing at all. Long Yu Heng could understand why his cousin often wanted to leave the family.

After following Long Fei for a while, Long Yu Heng was almost glad that the man was a rebel and would not listen to the elders' arrangement.

If another person chose to listen to the elders, sooner or later, the family would fall even with the dragon's blood flowing in them.

"Ah Fei."

Hearing the voice, both men stopped in their tracks.

Long Fei turned around and looked at his mother who was coming after him. Seeing the anxious look on her face turned his expression warmer. "Mother." His mother would usually not meddle in the Long family's business. Long Fei had always thought that his mother was indifferent. However, the moment he asked for her help, she did not hesitate to return immediately to support him.

"Where are you going?" Qin Ruo asked. "Why don't you come with me and stay with your maternal grandparents for a while. Anything is better than staying at this house."

"You know very well that I cannot leave this town for a long time."

Qin Ruo had a reluctant look in her expression. She had learned the family's secret not too long after she was married to Long Chen. She knew well that before her son found that girl, he will have to stay around the lake for a long time.

Her parents' house was in the middle of the city. There was no lake around or any source of water as clean as the lake in D Town. Long Fei was unable to stay there for a long period.

"Then, I will return and accompany you," Qin Ruo said. "Anyway, I cannot let your father bully you like this."

"Mother, I'll be fine," Long Fei said. "Father would not be able to do anything to me. Anyway, I am not planning to stay in this residence."

"Where are you going?"

A faint smile curled on his lips. "I'm planning to stay with Auntie Wang in the bamboo garden for a few weeks. Later, I will head to Capital City for work matters."

Although her son told her not to worry, Qin Ruo could not help but feel that way. She stretched out her hand and held his hand in hers. "Ah Fei, Mother is sorry for you. If only you were not born in this family, perhaps you would be able to have a smoother life."

The family's situation was complicated. As the mother, there were not a lot of things that she could do.

If only her son did not have such that special blood in his body, then perhaps, he could fall in love normally and marry just anyone he liked.

Thinking about her son's marriage made her aggrieved again. "Ah Fei, are you really not planning to marry anyone?"

Listening to his words about ending the family's bloodline upset her.

"Even if you are not planning to follow the elders' arrangement, Mother still hopes that you will find someone. It is best if that person is someone you love and would love you back."

As the mother, she still wished that her son would have someone by his side. A person to stay by his side and love him until he grows old.

"Mother, don't worry about me. I have my plan." Long Fei said. "You should go back and head to the airport before Father could catch you. Let Yu Heng send you over. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to leave again."

Qin Ruo looked at her son with an amused gaze. "Are you looking forward to us staying apart?"

"That's not it." Long Fei chuckled. "Whatever you decide to do is up to you. I will stand by your side. However, what Dad had done is a little too excessive. I do hope that he would suffer a little bit. Otherwise, he will continue to make trouble for me."

Hearing his words, Qin Ruo's expression turned better a little bit. She gave her son a slight squeeze on his arms and soon noticed that the expression on her son's face was a little wrong. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

She had only given him a gentle squeeze, but the look on his face showed that he was in terrible pain. How could Qin Ruo believe her son's words?

Qin Ruo moved quickly and pulled at her son's sleeve. Her eyes widened when she saw the black and blue bruise in his arms. A loud gasp escaped her. Before her son could stop her, Qin Ruo had tugged at his shirt and looked at his abdomen. The look in her eyes changed when she saw the bruise again.

This bruise was not normal. It was not hard for her to guess how did her son get this injury. 

Unless he was hit by his father, this injury would not last this long.

Her jaw clenched. "Long Chen!"

Qin Ruo turned around, wanting to look for the person who had hurt her son. However, before she could take another step, Long Fei had already stopped her.

"Mother, don't." Long Fei shook his head. "I'm fine."

"He hit you?"

"No." Long Fei lowered his gaze to hide from his mother. "We were in the lake. It was an accident." He looked up again and flashed her an assuring smile. "It's not as painful as you think. The wound would heal soon after I soaked in the lake  for a week or so."

Qin Ruo frowned.. It seemed that she did not believe in her son's words.
