Chapter 1342: Adoption (2)
Dong Yun looked at Dong Xun, "Don’t forget, she is still a widow. A widow showing her face like this is lucky not to be drowned..." Dong Wenxiu’s face changed for a moment. She was a widow, but did she choose to be one?
Yang Ruxin quickly reached out and held Dong Wenxiu’s hand, her gaze slightly deepened, exuding a cold aura as she looked toward Dong Xun in the room. If this grandfather couldn’t protect her mother, she wouldn’t mind knocking out these old fogies.
Dong Wenming had already stood up but before he could speak, Dong Xun’s expression darkened, "Uncle, watch your words. What about a widow? Isn’t she still my daughter? Our grandmother was a widow for twenty years, managing the family business and raising my father and you... Should our grandmother have been drowned too?"
Dong Yun was slightly startled. It was known that Dong Xun usually had a good temper and wouldn’t get angry unless things were excessive. Today’s firm and cold tone was the first of its kind. Moreover, he realized he had misspoken. Being an elder, he couldn’t admit his mistake to the younger generation, but he softened his tone somewhat, "If you insist, then let it be." It was an indirect way of backing down.
"Thank you, Uncle," Dong Xun hummed softly.
"However, since we’re opening the ancestral hall, let’s settle the adoption issue as well," Dong Yun swallowed his pride, but his tone remained harsh, "Wenming has always been without a son, and we had previously taken a liking to Wenjiang’s second boy, right? Let’s settle it together..."
As soon as this was said, everyone’s expressions became somewhat strange.
