Supreme Crazy Wife - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: The First Elder’s Condition (4)
“I don’t want her to know about this!” Feng Moran said lightly. He owed Xue’er enough. He really didn’t have the face to make her worry about his own affairs.
“Okay.”
While the two brothers were discussing, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Feng Moran gave his brother a look, and Feng Aoran went to open the door.
“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Feng Aoran pretended to be stupid.
“Ao’er, we’re here to look for Mo’er,” Su Qi, their mother, said.
“Oh, Big Brother is preparing to sleep. Dad, Mom, let’s not disturb him,” Feng Aoran said to his parents very understandingly.
“Move aside. We have something important to tell your brother,” Feng Rui said with a displeased face.
“Aoran, let Father and Mother in!” Feng Moran shouted from the inner room. He heard what the three of them said.
“Oh, Dad, Mom, please come in.”
“Stinky brat, what the hell are you doing? You actually don’t want to be the young master of the Feng family?” Feng Rui walked into the inner room angrily and immediately scolded Feng Moran fiercely.
“I’m not interested in becoming the young master of the Feng family. Leave this position to those who want it!” Feng Moran said without a care. In fact, he had expected his parents’ reaction.
“Do you know what you’re saying? I think you must be exhausted. Don’t go out for the time being and just stay at home. When you stop talking nonsense, I’ll let you out,” Feng Rui said domineeringly.
“I know what I’m saying. It’s just that you don’t want to admit it,” Feng Moran said nonchalantly. This was the so-called familial affection among top families. Everything was for benefits. A son was a good son when he had value. When he couldn’t satisfy their requests, he would become an abandoned son. Fortunately, he had long been indifferent to this kind of familial affection.
During his stay in the Feng family, his parents always said that they wanted to compensate him and care for him, but he knew very well that his parents were using him for their own benefits. He had already become his father’s biggest bargaining chip in becoming the patriarch.
He knew that as long as he became the young master of the Feng family, the first elder would support his father in becoming the patriarch. But because he refused, his father’s position as the patriarch was very likely to be lost. Otherwise, his father wouldn’t be so angry. Presumably, the first elder had already communicated with his father.
“You… you unfilial son, I raised you for nothing!” Feng Rui roared as his face turned purple with anger. He really couldn’t understand why, but the first elder just happened to favor his son for the position of the young master out of the many who were eyeing it. Yet this unfilial son of his was actually unwilling to do such a good thing! It really pissed him off.
“Father, you’ve raised me for more than a decade, and I’ve also left home for more than a decade. But during the time that I was back, you’ve gained a lot from using me, so I don’t owe you anything anymore,” Feng Moran said helplessly. He really didn’t want to say such heartless words if possible, but…
“Y-you… Fine! Your wings have hardened, and I can’t control you anymore, right?” Feng Rui pointed at Feng Moran, and the veins on his face bulged as he panted heavily.
“Mo’er, how can you talk to your father like that? Look at how angry you made him! Hurry up and apologize to your father,” Su Qi said with displeasure.
In fact, she used to dote on this eldest son of hers. But she had stopped paying attention to him ever since his poor result in the aptitude test.
However, never in her wildest dreams did she expect that her eldest son, whom she had neglected, would return to the Feng family after leaving home for more than a decade. Moreover, he became so talented and even had a divine beast. The couple couldn’t help but see hope due to this. Furthermore, the first elder had promised them that as long as Feng Moran became the young master of the Feng family, the next patriarch of the Feng family would definitely be Feng Rui.
They knew their eldest son’s feelings for them and the Feng family had faded after being ignored for so long, so they had been thinking of ways to make up for it.
But Feng Qingran’s sudden death made the matter more urgent. Their original plan to cultivate feelings anew was disrupted, and Feng Moran said that he didn’t want to be the young master, making the couple panic.
They had suggested to the first elder that they should act first before announcing the matter. This way, Feng Moran would have no choice but to do it. But the first elder was very opposed to this idea. The first elder wanted Feng Moran to do it willingly because he felt that Feng Moran would only seriously consider the interests of the Feng family if he acknowledged his identity.
“Father, I’m sorry. I won’t be the young master of the Feng family,” Feng Moran reiterated. He never hoped that his parents could understand him, but he also didn’t want to be a pawn in their hands.
“You…”
“Husband, don’t be angry. Let’s go back first. Let Mo’er consider it carefully. Perhaps he will think it through himself.” Su Qi patted Feng Rui’s back gently to persuade him.
“Alright. Unfilial son, reconsider it yourself!” Feng Rui roared and left Feng Moran’s room angrily with Su Qi’s help.
“Big Brother.” Feng Aoran looked at his brother worriedly. Alas, he didn’t expect his parents to react so strongly. He was a little scared just now.
“I’m fine, Aoran. Go back to your room and sleep,” Feng Moran said, not wanting his brother to worry.
“Okay. Big Brother, rest early too.” Feng Aoran closed the door for Feng Moran and left the room.

In the main hall of General Leng’s mansion…
“Miss, as you expected, the Xu family really took Xu Na’er’s corpse away.” Feng Da looked at Leng Ruoxue with admiration. This was the report he obtained from the team he sent to monitor the Feng family.
“Isn’t that normal? No one from the Xu family showed up at the funeral. They were just embarrassed. The Xu family has always been proud of their daughter. Now that this has happened, it’s really hard to say if anyone will dare to marry their daughters in the future,” Leng Ruoxue analyzed. She despised people who sold their daughters for benefits the most, and the Xu family was just such a family.
