The Human Emperor (1-200)

C4: Crisis of the Wang Clan

Without a doubt, this was one of the happiest meal he has had in awhile.

The laughter over the meal never stopped. Madam Wang’s face was filled with delight and she kept placing food on Wang Chong’s plate. The food on Wang Chong’s plate piled high as though a mountain, making it impossible to put anything else on it.

On the other hand, Father Wang wasn’t as stern as he was before. Under Madam Wang’s piercing glare, he placed some food on Wang Chong’s plate as well.

“Third Brother, incredible!”

Upon seeing this sight, the little sister of the Wang Family was surprised. She shot her elder brother a glance. At this moment, she couldn’t be any more impressed with him.

She thought that her brother would fall under this calamity and she had already mentally prepared herself to witness a tragedy of the mortal world. She didn’t expect that with just a few words, not only did her parents not blame him, they were even chuckling and complimenting him. Even her father, which was an austere man, took the initiative to place food on his plate.

The Wang Family’s little sister couldn’t help but feel envious. She had been in this household for such a long time but never did she receive such treatment.

“Father, I don’t care, I want it too!”

Her face puffed up and she pushed her bowl to Father Wang.

“You are a lady, look at how you are behaving!”

Father Wang’s face was stiff and his words caused the Wang Family’s little sister to feel indignant. Tears welled up in her eyes. Taking the scene in sight, Madam Wang didn’t know whether she should reprimand her or laugh:

“Here! Mother will give you some food!”

“Brother will give you some food too!”

Chuckling within, Wang Chong also grabbed some food for his little sister.

“Thank you, brother.”

A smile finally appeared on the little sister’s teary face. She began to dig in happily once more, seemingly having forgotten all of the indignance she had felt previously.

The family dug into the food happily.

“Father, I heard that you are going to meet Lord Yao?”

In the midst of the meal, Wang Chong casually spoke.

In an instant, the atmosphere over the dining table changed and became slightly stiff. Madam Wang hurriedly shot Wang Chong a glance and little sister’s chopsticks stopped in midair in fright.

Everyone in the family knew that Father Wang didn’t like talking about work at home, and neither did he like anyone interfering in his job.

“Where did you hear that from?”

Father Wang lifted his head and said without a change in his expression. However, Wang Chong clearly saw a slight frown flashing across his father’s forehead. It was clear that he was displeased by Wang Chong’s action of bringing up this topic.

Gedeng, Wang Chong’s heart skipped a beat. Even so, he could only continue speaking of the matter. After all, this matter was extremely important to him. If he could not change this course of events, all of his previous hard work would have gone to vain.

“I just happened to overhear it when father was speaking about of this matter to mother.”

Wang Chong said. His heart was beating furiously out of nervousness. Whether it would be a success or failure depended on what he was going to say next.
