Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1159
In the face of her uncle, Somoset's opposition, Momo was on the verge of tears and looked very determined. She said, "Whatever. When it comes to my own marriage, I will be in charge of it. At most, I just
decide not to come back to this household."
After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave straight away.
Such an attitude infuriated Somoset and Lyla even more and they harshly scolded both Momo and Ernest.
"Momo, how can you talk to your elders in this way? Where are your manners!" Lyla rebuked Momo.
Somoset also criticized Ernest, saying, "Ernest, so this is how you educate your daughter? Our Soo family has been an honorable family for a century, we can't lose our traditions and rules here!"
Ernest's expression was a little ghastly at this moment. He was at a loss how to answer Somoset for a while, so he could only try to gloss over the topic, "Somoset, Momo is just saying things out of anger. We might as well just give this matter further thought and discuss it later."
Somoset snorted coldly, "We are only three days away from the annual meeting of the Soo family before the Yao family comes to take Momo's hand in marriage. Do you think we have the time to give this matter a further thought?"
"This..." Ernest didn't know how to refute that.
Upon seeing this, Momo looked at Ernest and said, "Dad, there is no need to talk to them anymore. I won't agree to this marriage arrangement. If you guys insist on forcing me to agree with it, then I will leave now."
With that said, Momo was about to step out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, Somoset snorted heavily, "Momo, you are too reckless. You're not allowed to act like a spoiled kid just because of our Soo family's hundred-year-old rule."
"Guys, go retain Momo," Somoset waved his hand to call his men over. He actually wanted to force her to comply.
Upon seeing this, Momo's expression couldn't help but change. She looked shocked and frustrated.
Ernest was shocked too and spoke immediately, trying to defend Momo, "Somoset, this is too much, isn't it? I will talk to her..."
As a result, before Ernest could finish speaking, Somoset scoffed and interrupted him, "There is nothing to talk about. Ernest, the reason why Momo is so capricious is that you spoil her too much. She's not young anymore now. It's time to restrain her a little and teach her some manners."
While they were speaking, the Soo family's security guards had already rushed over. They were about to detain Momo forcibly.
Such a large force made her nervous.
However, Fade pinched Memo's hand and comforted her softly, "I'm here, so no one can hurt you."
After speaking, he stepped out and looked at several security guards. Then, he declared solemnly, "You'll have to get past me if you want to take Momo away."
Seeing this, Somoset, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned and warned Fade, "Hey you, these are the affairs of the Soo family. It has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way right away, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Fade did not back down and replied, "Momo is my girlfriend, so I'm related to this matter. You can detain her, but only over my dead body."
"What an ungrateful brat!" Somoset snorted and ordered, "Get him!"
The four security guards rushed over together. It was indeed true that the Soo family did have a profound family background. These security guards had the strength belonging to masters of the early stage of the Black Level, which was not bad at all.
However, they were still not good enough, as the person they were facing was Fade.
Two of the four security guards rushed towards Fade, trying to control him and pull him away, while the other two walked towards Momo, preparing to take her away.
However, when the four of them had just moved, Fade waved his arms and created a burst of energy. With a loud whirr, he blew the four of them backwards, causing them to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
When Somoset saw this, he squinted his eyes then slapped the armrest, reproaching furiously, "How dare you to start a fight in the Soo family! Are you suicidal?! Take him down for me, I must teach him a good lesson."
When Fade saw this, his expression became serious and he squared himself up to get ready for a fight. The imposing aura exuding from his body increased greatly too.
It seemed that a battle was inevitable.
Ernest couldn't help but grow anxious when he saw such a situation. He wanted to prevent a fight from breaking out, but he was just an ordinary person without any shred of martial arts. He really had no way to solve this situation.
Just when the atmosphere became tense and the few people on the scene were about to fight...
An old voice rang through the hall, asking, "What's the matter? Isn't the New Year coming soon? Why is the house so noisy?"
Hearing this voice, everyone on the scene was shocked. After that, they turned their heads and looked over. Then, they bowed respectfully and greeted the person, "Master Egbert!"
The person who walked out was an elder in his seventies and was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He had grey hair and a ruddy complexion. Although he was not young, he was in good spirits. Obviously, this was Egbert Soo, the old master of the Soo family.
When Somoset saw Egbert walk out, he got out of the main seat immediately. He walked over rapidly and helped the old master into the seat.
After the old master sat down, he looked down and saw Momo. A smile appeared on his face instantly as he said happily, "Momo, you're back!" Tears welled up in Momo's eyes instantly when she saw Egbert. She nodded and answered,
"Grandpa, I'm back. I don't want to marry Hector,
I..."
Hearing this, Somoset couldn't help but frown. He interrupted Momo harshly straight away, "Momo, what nonsense are you telling Grandpa!"
"I'm just..." Momo defended herself with watery eyes.
Somoset and Lyla wanted to speak again.
Before they could resume quarrelling, Egbert stopped them, "Stop quarrelling."
Everyone fell silent in an instant and looked at the old master.
Egbert swept his gaze around the people and finally fell on Momo, saying, "I know about everything. However, Momo is tired from coming all the way back home, so let's not talk about these things for now." Upon hearing this, Ernest and Momo looked joyfully relieved. On the other hand, Somoset and Lyla looked a little displeased.
At this moment, Egbert's gaze fell on Fade again. He asked aloud, "This is..."
"Grandpa, this is Fade, my..." Momo was about to introduce Fade to her grandfather. When she was about to tell him who he was, Ernest interrupted, "Dad, this is Fade, Momo's friend. He took care of Momo back when they were in Bay City. Therefore,
she invited him over to have fun."
After speaking, Ernest winked at Momo. She understood what he was thinking instantly.
Obviously, Ernest didn't want Momo to mention Fade's identity as her boyfriend at this time since Egbert wasn't bringing up the engagement. He was worried that this would infuriate Egbert and he would oppose it directly. If that was the case, there would be no room for turning back on this issue anymore.
Now that the old master hadn't made a specific statement, they could take their time to persuade him slowly. Perhaps they would still have a chance.
