His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 - Blessings, Not Weapons

"You disrespectful child! You dare raise your voice at me, your elder?!" Elder Long Jufang was apoplectic with rage at Long Hui’s attitude to him.

"I’m not a child anymore, Granduncle Jufang. I’m now an adult and have my own son who I intend to claim proudly in front of everyone!"

"You—"

"Enough!" Long Tengfei’s authoritative voice was like thunder which stopped everyone and put them in their place.

He was very displeased at the elders. As a man who loved all of his children, he was opposed to the elders’ discrimination against illegitimate children. It was laughable that they would be so critical when many of them also fathered their own illegitimate offspring. They thought that he, the head of the family, wouldn’t know about their secrets? They were clearly underestimating him. However, he wasn’t the kind of man to use illegitimate children to blackmail people to get them to do his bidding. For him, children were blessings, not weapons.

"Son, if you really want to make a public statement and claim Long Jun as your child, go ahead. I’ll support you as the head of our Long family," Long Tengfei told his son, ignoring the elders’ protests around him.

"Thank you, Father!" Long Hui was greatly relieved that his father approved of his decision.

"But be decisive about it and don’t dawdle. Your sister is also suffering in this. The more time you take, the more her reputation will be damaged," Long Tengfei reminded him.

"Yes, Father. I’ll do it right away."

Elder Long Meng scoffed. "Young Miss Xiulan is suffering? I don’t believe that even for a second. I bet she’s enjoying all the attention right now. Isn’t that what she loves the most? The attention? She always gives us headaches. All she knows is to create scandal after scandal to shame our entire family! And because of her, another bastard child of our family will be exposed to the entire nation! I also heard that your bodyguard mistress is working for her now? Birds of a feather really do flock together! They will be the ones who’ll cause irreparable damage to our family’s noble name!"

"You’re wrong, Grandaunt Meng. My sister Xiulan is not a shame at all! In fact, she’s the greatest pride of our family! You have no idea how amazing all of her achievements are! If you continue to look down on her, you’ll be the one shaming our family to the entire world instead!" Long Hui had enough of the elders’ bigotry towards his son, his son’s mother and his youngest sister. After saying his piece, he stormed out of the meeting hall.

Of course, his action and attitude angered the elders, especially Elder Long Jufang and Elder Long Meng. They complained to Long Tengfei.

Storming off without the family head’s permission was a great affront to his authority, but Long Tengfei didn’t take it personally. He understood his son’s feelings and agreed to everything Long Hui said.

"Unbelievable! Xiulan is the greatest pride of our family and has amazing achievements?" Elder Long Jufang snorted. "Did he mean the three music techniques she accidentally invented? What’s so great about them? That song she created is such a torture to listen to."

"Ah, you’re absolutely right, Brother Jufang," Elder Long Meng sighed in agreement. "I get a bad headache every time I hear that dreadful song."
