Ou Yangfu felt utterly wronged after his father's harsh rebuke and touched his own face, "I look in the mirror every day, and I'm not ugly!"
Old Mr. Ou was at a loss for words. He waved his hand to summon two servants to take his drunken youngest son away to prevent further drunken antics in the living room.
As Ou Yangfu was being helped away, he kept shouting, "Dad! Happy sixtieth birthday! Dad! Tomorrow I'll talk to Ye Rongyuan and..."
Before his youngest son could say anything reckless, Old Mr. Ou hurriedly ordered the servants, "Cover his mouth immediately!"
The phrase "disaster comes from the mouth" was no mere saying. Even at home, Old Mr. Ou couldn't risk his son saying something that might offend the Ye family.
The servants promptly covered the young master's mouth, turning his words into muffled, incomprehensible sounds.
With the youngest son gone, the living room returned to its original quiet. Old Mr. Ou sat on the sofa and wiped away a cold sweat.
