His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 311 - The Long Family Elders

Long Ancestral Residence.

The elders gathered together to speak with Long Tengfei and Long Hui at the compound’s main wing. All of the elders were very displeased at the recent scandal of their Young Miss Xiulan.

The atmosphere within the eting hall was so oppressive that Yang Jiahui wanted to bolt out of the place. However, she endured and stayed beside her husband to give him moral support. She had always been ill at ease with the Long elders. They only treated her as "barely acceptable" as the current madam of the Long family. She wasn’t from a wealthy, aristocratic or influential family, but she was well-educated and had a modestly successful career before she married Long Tengfei.

This was the only reason that they weren’t treating her like a complete sh*t, unlike how they treated Wei Lan, Iris’ mother, and Long Tengfei’s forr mistresses, the mothers of his two illegitimate children.

Although this gathering pertained to their Young Miss’s latest scandal, it wasn’t their main concern. After all, they were already used to her being featured on the news all the ti and "shaming" the Long family na again and again.

This ti, everyone was more concerned about the inclusion of Long Jun, a.k.a. Little Jun, in the recent tabloid news.

"Hai! The Young Miss Xiulan only knows how to bring trouble to our family! Because of her, it’s only a matter of ti before the existence of Young Master Hui’s bastard son is exposed to the public!" Long ng complained.

She was the second most prominent elder in the clan. She was the cousin of Long Tengfei’s father and the head of one of the branch families.

Long Hui’s expression darkened when his son was called a bastard. Although it was true in the literal aning of the word, the way Elder Long ng said it sounded too offensive for him as a father. He was about to protest when Long Tengfei gestured for him to calm down. It was difficult, but he sat back and tried to control himself.

"Hmph! I’ve already said this a million tis before. Xiulan will one day cause our Long family’s downfall! She has always been the sha of our family. And now she is the reason why the newest sha of our family will be exposed for all the world to see! At this rate, our Long family won’t have any face left to show other people!" Another Long family elder added.

Long Jufang was the most prominent elder in the family. He was Long Tengfei’s uncle, his father’s younger brother. He was also the head of the most powerful branch in the family after the main family headed by Long Tengfei. If the main family ever collapsed, his branch family would be the next in line to take over as head of the entire Long clan.

"Newest sha? Are you calling my son a sha of the family, Granduncle Jufang?" Long Hui could no longer stop himself from speaking out. He stood up with a furious expression on his face.

"You dare speak and look at your elder like that, Little Hui? Perhaps being the heir has already gone to your head that you think that you can order your elders around and disrespect us?" Elder Long Jufang’s sharp tone was like a whip.

Long Hui couldn’t help but flinch a bit at the mory of the elder disciplining him in his childhood. The other family mbers in the eting hall also had similar reactions to him. Elder Long Jufang was a frightening existence to most of them. Only Long Tengfei faced him without any fear.

"Well, Little Hui?"

"Son, Uncle Jufang. Both of you please calm down. This is not the ti for argunts like this. Rember the reason why you all ca and gathered here today," Long Tengfei spoke in a voice filled with authority.

Long Hui took a couple of deep breaths and returned to his seat. Elder Long Jufang was still disgruntled, but he listened to Long Tengfei and stopped reprimanding Long Hui. For now.

"So...let’s hear what you want to do regarding this matter with my grandson, Long Jun," Long Tengfei said to start the discussion.

Before anyone could do so, Long Hui spoke up. "Father, I would like to make a public statent and claim Long Jun as my son."

"Absolutely not!" Elder Long ng fiercely rejected the idea. The disapproval on her face was obvious to everyone. "Young Master Hui, if you do that, everyone will know that your firstborn is a bastard. Your heir shouldn’t be illegitimate! It will be a great embarrassnt to our Long family! And we would never accept a bastard as our next heir! We should keep the existence of your illegitimate child as a secret for now until you marry a nice woman from a good family. When you produce your first legitimate child and na the child as your heir, then it won’t matter as much anymore for others to know the existence of your bastard son. We can just say that he was a mistake with a forr mistress."

Elder Long Jufang nodded in agreent with her.

Both Long Tengfei and Long Hui felt angry at the words she uttered. The father and son didn’t appreciate the elders repeatedly calling Long Jun as a bastard child. The two of them were similar in the sense that they loved their own children very much regardless of whether they were legitimate or not.

Long Hui was barely controlling his temper. The respect he had for these elders was slowly being chipped away every ti they referred to his child as a bastard.

"You don’t look like you want to listen to your elders’ advice. We’re only saying this for your own good, Young Master Hui," Elder Long ng told him in a lecturing tone.

’For my own good? It’s not for my own good but for your own sense of bigotry that you’re spouting all of these bullsh*t,’ Long Hui thought to himself. ’Now I’m beginning to see why my sister Xiulan can’t bear to see any of you.’

Another elder spoke up and suggested, "If you really want to claim the child as your son in public, why don’t you go and register your marriage with the child’s mother? This way, your son will automatically beco legitimate. Then we wouldn’t have this problem anymore."

"I wish it’s that easy. I already tried asking her to marry many tis already," Long Hui muttered.

"What a ridiculous idea!" Elder Long Jufang exclaid. The disapproval on his face was even more intense than what Elder Long ng wore earlier. "That woman is just a lowly bodyguard! There’s no way that she’s appropriate to be our Long family’s next madam! What will the people say? That we, the Longs, are sleeping and breeding with our own servants? How shaful! We barely recovered from the black mark that...that gold-digging model...Wei Lan left when she beca our madam for a short period of ti. Such an embarrassnt! Little Hui, keep that bodyguard as your mistress if you really want her, but she’s not fit to be your legal wife!"

"Don’t talk about Ying Yue like that!" Long Hui finally exploded. His expression was extrely ugly, his eyes blazing in fury. "She’s a strong and intelligent woman! She’s the mother of my child and as soon as she agrees to be my wife, I’ll marry her in an instant! Nobody is allowed to insult her in my presence!"
