1038 Suffer Your Own Consequences 2 (1/2)
The Fiery Blaze Clan and the Icy Frost Clan had always been at loggerheads and Qing Yu had also received the hidden signal from Jun Xie which just further encouraged him to add fuel to the fire.
When Lin Que found himself retorted by Qing Yu in that manner, he almost choked to death on the rage that surged up within.
Lin Feng on the other hand, still did not seem to be holding back in the slightest despite his father's display of infuriated rage as he struggled to stand up from where he fell, his face flushed a deep red, looking highly aggrieved.
”Father! I am not drunk! And isn't everything I said the truth? Who does Jun Xie think he is? How is he even qualified to cooperate with Great Aunt? You've bent over backwards and spared no effort to serve Great Aunt for so long and obeyed Great Aunt's every single order. What have you gotten in the end? Now Great Aunt actually wants to gift the Purple Spirit that everyone couldn't even dare dream of to that little bastard! Based on what? All of it should be given to you instead!”
Lin Feng's words made Lin Que's heart almost jump out of him. It had been bad enough when he had only just berated Jun Xie in his earlier tirade, but his words just now had even included Qu Xin Rui in his admonishment!
[How was he going to fix this now?]
Lin Que immediately knelt down before Qu Xin Rui, shaking like a leaf in the wind.
”Great Aunt knows it clearly! Your subordinate has never harboured such ambitions. My young son's words are spoken out of a drunken stupor and must not be taken seriously. To have been able to serve Great Aunt is already my greatest fortune derived from the good I have done in my past life, and I am already eternally grateful for it. I wouldn't dare be so audacious to think of anything beyond unconditional servitude.”
Qu Xin Rui's expression was so ominously dark then that it seemed like it was almost dripping off her face. The entire banquet fell deathly silent and no one else dared say a single word.
”Father! Are you telling me what I said is not true? For so many years, how many things have you done for Great Aunt? It's fine even if Great Aunt doesn't reward you for all of that but when she is even being so cordial to a kid from outside, where does that leave you?” Lin Feng still refused to give up.
Lin Que wished so hard he could just seal his son's mouth at that moment.
