"Bang!"

The sleeves of the Second Elder’s robe were cut off, directly exposing two bare arms.

His figure was forced back by someone, landing on the ground. Immediately, he looked in horror towards the direction from which the sound came.

"Fa... Family Head?!"

Looking at Hu Zhongtian, who was being supported and standing at the main courtyard entrance, the Second Elder’s expression turned ugly.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t Hu Zhongtian so ill that he couldn’t even get out of bed and was unconscious?

How could he appear at the courtyard entrance?

And judging by his appearance, does he know about Chu Lingfeng?

The Second Elder’s heart was pounding, but Hu Zhongtian was looking at Chu Lingfeng, who was standing in front of Luo Qingtong.

Seeing the faint resemblance in his brows and eyes to his daughter, Hu Zhongtian’s eyes turned red.

Tears welled up as he coughed violently and asked in a trembling voice, "You... are you Lady Yan’s son?"

"I am." Chu Lingfeng looked at him and nodded honestly.

But the protective gesture in front of Luo Qingtong did not change at all.

He looked cautiously at the elderly man opposite.

Chu Lingfeng did not trust anyone from the Hu Family now.

He couldn’t let his master suffer because of him.

"Are you my grandfather?" Chu Lingfeng looked at Hu Zhongtian, "My mother misses you. Can she come back to see you?"

As he spoke, without waiting for Hu Zhongtian’s response, he added, "If it’s not possible, forget it. Let us leave, and I won’t bother you again. Just don’t hurt my friends."

Chu Lingfeng was thoroughly disappointed with the Hu Family now.

He watched Hu Zhongtian, ready to leave immediately if he said no.

He had tried his best, but if the Hu Family was unwilling to accept him and his mother, there was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t let his mother return to suffer this humiliation and torment, nor let Luo Qingtong worry over his matters.

The master had already been very, very good to him!

He couldn’t cause any more trouble for the master.

Stared at earnestly by Chu Lingfeng’s eyes, Hu Zhongtian was just filled with tears. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Especially what Chu Lingfeng had just said, it struck his heart deeply.

His grandson had broken in just to say: his daughter missed him and wanted to come back to see him.

Listening to this, it felt like a knife was stabbing his heart hard.

Just as he was about to speak, the Second Elder hurriedly interjected.

"Big brother! You mustn’t agree! Don’t forget the shame Lady Yan brought to our Hu Family!"

"If it weren’t for her who was indiscreet, fooling around outside, how would our alliance with the Huo Family have been cut off?"

"Missing the chance to rise another step is one thing, but most importantly, we offended the Huo Family and benefitted the Bai Family for no reason!"

"Lady Yan is the great sinner of our Hu Family! Not to mention she bore this son, who is still a fool!"

"If these two people return to our Hu Family, imagine the ridicule from others!"

"Big brother, you absolutely can’t do this!"

The Second Elder’s words rose, instantly provoking anger in Chu Lingfeng’s eyes.

"My mother and I will never want your Hu Family!"

They were already the master’s people, how could they possibly return to the Hu Family!

"Hmph! That’s not certain! If you come back and cling on without leaving, what are we supposed to do? Wouldn’t we become a laughing stock again?"

The Second Elder sneered.

He didn’t believe Hu Yan Niang had no thoughts about the Hu Family.

The mother and son, lonely and helpless outside, perhaps they were looking for an opportunity to return to the Hu Family!
