Charles Yin's words made both Lucas Yin and his mother’s faces change instantly.
This accusation is no small matter.
To remove the clan chief from his position, every member of the family must be present and vote on it.
This is no trivial matter.
Lucas Yin’s mother hurriedly put on a smile. "Oh, listen to my foolish mouth, I was just talking nonsense. Charles, please don’t get mad at me. I was just worried, you know? Lucas is doing well at the company—if he quits, where will he find another job? He’s not married yet, and without a good job, what girl would want him? Cecilia, please help me explain, I really didn’t mean anything by it!"
Cecilia Gu finally spoke up: "Alright, sister-in-law, Charles isn’t trying to pick a fight with you. As the clan chief, he has a lot to consider. If Lucas doesn’t work hard and keeps causing trouble, what if everyone starts following his example? How would the company be managed then?"
Lucas Yin’s mother’s face darkened. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.
Charles Yin spoke: "Lucas, if you’re a man, stand up and say it yourself. Don’t always let your mother speak for you."
"Uncle…" Lucas Yin shrank back and said, "I know I was wrong. I’ll change, I promise I won’t make the same mistake again!"
Wendy brought in tea and handed it to Charles Yin.
