cyril’s heart was in turmoil, and he gritted his teeth. in the end, he lowered his head and calmly said, ” “father, you’re overpraising me. this is just something within my duty.”
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 patriarch fields was immersed in the joy of his wife’s awakening and did not notice the strangeness of his eldest son. he smiled and nodded, praising him again.
compared to patriarch fiers ‘excitement and satisfaction, lu wenjun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was sharp enough to sense something strange. his body trembled slightly.
for some reason, cyril had been smiling politely and gently the entire time, but she felt that his eyes were cold, and his smile had never reached his eyes.
however, lu wenjun had just woken up a few days ago. he had not even started his recovery, and his body’s functions had yet to recover.
even though he had regained consciousness, he couldn’t even speak properly, so he could only look at cyril with his mouth wide open and stutter.
“c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-it’s you …”
patriarch fields completely misunderstood her meaning and thought that lu wenjun wanted to express his gratitude. he quickly touched her pale and haggard face and smiled. ” “that’s right, wenjun. didn’t i tell you? cyril is a good child. not only did he manage the family affairs very well, but he also cares about you and is especially filial. by the way, cyril also brought your daughter over to accompany you.”
at this point, the patriarch of the fields looked up and glanced at the crowd in the hall, trying to find luo chenxin.
but after looking for a while, he didn’t even see a shadow.
he frowned. ” what’s going on, cyril? why didn’t your sister come today?”
cyril was already prepared for this. he said with a faint smile, ” father, today’s the faires family’s family meeting. luo chenxi feels that … it’s not appropriate for her to be here. “
“what are you saying? ‘luo chenxi is wenjun’s adopted daughter, so she’s my daughter too! it was the young lady of the faires family! she’s not an outsider, why can’t she be here?”
the patriarch of the fields family was displeased when he saw lu wenjun’s disappointed expression. he narrowed his eyes at cyril.
cyril pursed his lips but did not refute her. instead, he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake. ” i understand. i’ll send someone to look for luo chenxi right away. “
he had deliberately lowered his stance, and in the eyes of the surrounding clansmen, it was as if he had been reprimanded by patriarch fiers for no reason.
these people had long been brainwashed by the rumors released by aldan. they believed that the patriarch and his son were not on good terms because of lu wenjun’s existence.
furthermore, everyone was on cyril’s side.
in their opinion, the reason why patriarch fields was so protective of lu wenjun was because he had been bewitched by his beauty and had become muddleheaded.
cyril didn’t retort, and even more people did.
” lord patriarch, young master cyril is right. lu wenjun’s daughter’s surname isn’t faires, so she’s an outsider! “
” that’s right. the daughters of our family who are married can’t participate in the family meeting. other things are not allowed. i think lu wenjun’s daughter is already married, right? “
” an outsider is an outsider. the clan leader dotes on his wife, so he can’t ignore the rules of the clan … “
every sentence he said was a slap to his face.
patriarch fiers was immediately angered. ” enough, all of you shut up. i’m the patriarch of the fiers family! who would dare to object to who i want to participate in the clan meeting?”
