Chapter 116 - 87, Sage_2
Chen Liqin looked at Chen Ji, "Chen Ji, follow me back to the mansion. Today, I shall uncover the truth for you."
But Chen Ji remained silent.
He didn’t want to return to Chen Mansion.
Although he was related by blood to Chen Liqin, he recognized only one man as his father and had no intention of acknowledging another.
The rights and wrongs of Chen Mansion had ceased to concern him from the moment he had left 300 cents at the gate.
In the quiet atmosphere, Chen Ji stood behind the mahogany counter and bowed slightly to Chen Liqin, "Mr. Chen, please return. I still have studies to review, and until I have completed my academic pursuits, I will not return to Chen Mansion."
"Mr. Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li and the Princely Heir both widened their eyes in shock.
In this era, everyone was taught to respect the social order – king as king, minister as minister, father as father, son as son. No one dared to defy and dishonor their own father. Once branded unfilial, neither society nor the officialdom would tolerate you.
But Chen Ji ultimately did not belong to this era.
Chen Liqin’s expression darkened, "If you feel aggrieved over the tuition fee matter, I shall clarify it today. If you resent me for sending you to the Medical Hall, consider what you have done in the past. Must I, as a father, apologize to you instead?"
