The call ended, and Jin Yu's father's gaze grew even deeper.
"Father, is this matter related to Chu Feng?" Jin Yu was nearby and naturally could catch bits and pieces of the conversation.
Jin Yu's father said, "This matter has nothing to do with you; I will handle it myself."
Jin Yu, with his hands on the table, said, "Father, I am also a member of the Jin family; I am your son. I know the situation is dangerous, but I am willing to share the burden with you."
Jin Yu's father looked up at him kindly and said, "It's precisely because you are my son that I need you to live well. You should stay away from Chu Feng's affairs; I will handle them personally."
Jin Yu looked at his father, moved, but more than that, he felt heartache.
No child could bear the taste of being looked down upon by his own father. No child could endure the feeling of others being better than oneself in their father's eyes.
