Chapter 1088 – Out Of Your Capabilities.
"Dad, Ye Cheng had an emergency to attend at the hospital. So he may not come today. But he has said that he would try his best." Feng Yi Ran said, once she got the chance. And hearing her, Feng Yu Hao nodded.
"Ah, don't worry about it, I know Dr. Chen has his hospital and patients to look after. Let him do his duty first." He said and smiling at him, Feng Yi Ran took her seat. Soon the people return back to their talks.
Some came to start the conversation with Feng Yi Ran, with whom the woman talked very casually. From her expression, it was hard to tell if she was interested in sharing her thoughts with others or not but since others knew Feng Yi Ran already, they were also aware that the girl's nature has never been to act rude to anyone.
And similarly, her same genes have taken effect on her elder son's attitude. Though Chen Yu Jian has never acted rude to anyone, people knew that the Young Master of Chen family could also not be taken easily. He was not just precious to Chens but was also cherished by the Fengs. So no relatives ever compelled him to compromise among them, rather left him aloof as he wanted to be.
"I heard Chen Yujian has been practicing culinary skills in one of our dessert brands. Is he serious about that career? I mean his father has been such a renowned doctor. Will it be good if he works in some restaurant like this?" Someone among the relatives talked and as she spoke, another person shushed her up.
"Shh … speak lightly. Old Master may not like it. Feng Yi Ran's son has always been like that. He never thought to pursue medicine as his father and since he was the first child in the generation of the Chens, none forced him as well. I feel Chens have been very liberal with him, after all, if not him who else would be carrying forward their medical legacy."
"I really feel pity for the Chens. After Dr. Chen, none would be able to carry forward the honor they have earned in the field of medicine. Only if they have not spoiled the young boy this much, they might have saved the legacy which their ancestors have built."
They talked and even though softly, those conversations were able to reach the ears of Chen Yu Jian. And once reached, it didn't take time to show its effect. The boy's lips curled up in a mocking smirk first, before his gaze lifted up in the direction where the people were talking.
"Sorry, my dear honored ladies, but may I know what position in this world do you hold to pity my Chen family? As far as I remember, you guys barely hold any position in Feng family itself, let alone talk about pitying Chens." He said and his words were so sharp that they instantly silence the gossipy air around.
"Heh! And talking about my career preferences. Please don't forget that even pursuing a different career than what my ancestors had, I am still holding the caliber that enables my mother to bring me along to this family gathering. But it's a pity that I can't see your children coming along." He added and Feng Yi Ran just scanned everyone with her gazes. Though there was a smile of pride in her expression, one can't miss the sharpness she held in her eyes.
"Yujian, that's enough. You said too much already. Haven't I taught you to be ignorant sometimes? People talk around. You can't waste your energy to seal their lips every time." She said before looking at the particular group of relatives that were already embarrassed.
Chen Yujian didn't show any disobedience, but his sharp eyes still turned to glare at the people who had previously shown their audacity. "Ma, I have learned well from you. If it had been for others, I would have turned ignorant. But since it was our family, I can't prevent myself from clearing their misconception. After all, Sweet Delicacy, where I am practicing, is not a place that Fengs particularly hold. It was the shop of my late Lǎolao, which is now looked after by my uncle. When did it got included under the name of Fengs?"
He said and the relatives were all dumb silent to the fact. Maybe they have truly overestimated themselves, that's why even after knowing the attitude of the boy, they couldn't control themselves from talking like that.
"Lǎoyé, am I saying anything wrong?" Turning to Feng Yu Hao, Chen Yujian didn't delay asking.
Feng Yu Hao's expression turned tight as his eyes turned to look at the people who dared to begin all that. But just before his mood could shut off, Feng De Zhong from the side interrupted to not lose the winning game.
"Aye, Little Yujian, don't mind these women. You know they always love to gossip and they make people ruin the mood. Leave them. On their behalf, see I feel like apologizing. But I know seeing me apologize won't make you happy, so I won't embarrass you. But being an elder, today I assure you that no one will ever repeat this again. And if you like that dessert brand so much, I will even make your uncle gift it to you. Will that be fine with you?"
Feng Da Zhong said with all authority and confidence. But his words still felt like an exaggeration since everyone present around knew that whatever he said was simply impossible. After all, the person about whom he was talking to was no other but Feng Shufen. Making Feng Shufen do something was simply not possible.
Chen Yujian glanced at his mother briefly then turning to the man, he gave a slight smile that held a lot of meaning than what it expressed at front. "It's okay Grand Uncle, I am no longer a kid whom you have to promise things that are out your capabilities. Furthermore, I am happy working at my grandmother's place. Owning it as my own has not been my intention."
He said and his words like that only made Feng Da Zhong grit his teeth. But could he do anything? Nope, at least not today until he achieves the agenda with which he has called this meeting.
So, forcing a smile, he walked back to his seat and right at that moment, a voice caught everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone, I hope I am not disturbing the air of happiness here." Zhang Xiaotong said and at her appearance like that, the relatives were all excited.. But inside Feng Yu Hao and Feng Yi Ran was skeptical.
