Chapter 140: No Real Power

After the mother and son had left the dining hall, both Long Yuan and Long Chen spent a long time there to pacify the elders. Once they were calmer, Long Chen helped his father to return to his courtyard.

"Ah Chen," Long Yuan spoke as his son helped him to lay down on the bed. "I really did not expect that Ah Fei would be doing something like this."

Long Chen stared at his father for a long time, trying to figure out his mood. "Father, are you angry?"

The old man heaved a sigh. "In fact, I know that Ah Fei is rather disappointed with us. We were never able to protect him as he grew up. I am supposed to be the master of the family but I still have to listen to the elders' arrangements. We have no real power and had to listen to the others' words instead."

Long Chen lowered his head as he listened to his father speaking.
