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 statement and claim Long Jun as my son."

"Absolutely not!" Elder Long Meng 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 embarrassment 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 name 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 former mistress."

Elder Long Jufang nodded in agreement 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 time 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 Meng 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 become legitimate. Then we wouldn't have this problem anymore."

"I wish it's that easy. I already tried asking her to marry me many times already," Long Hui muttered.

"What a ridiculous idea!" Elder Long Jufang exclaimed. The disapproval on his face was even more intense than what Elder Long Meng 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 shameful! We barely recovered from the black mark that...that gold-digging model...Wei Lan left when she became our madam for a short period of time. Such an embarrassment! 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 extremely 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!"

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!"
