Annual Family Clan Gathering

"What did you say?"

Chen Xu tightened face as he was shocked by Chen Fan's sudden burst of anger.

The room became pin drop silent. The adults were rendered speechless by what they heard. They had been used to castigating their children for their mistakes and never once had their children talk back.

"Chen Fan, respect your elders!" Great Uncle Chen Zhenxin pulled a taut face and rebutted hotly.

"Great Uncle. You are my elder, and therefore, I respect you." Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"I am your nephew, and my father is your brother, so yes, theoretically you are my blood kin. But are you doing what blood kin are supposed to do? What if Wei Zifang wanted you to sever ties with me? Are you going to disown your nephew?"

Chen Fan's remarks didn't sit well with Chen Zhenxin, Great Uncle's face crumpled right away. Chen Fan's Great Aunt hurried to her husband's aid.

"That's not what we meant."
