Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2452
To that, Rahmi cupped his hands together and explained, "Yaymos, both our families have known each other for years. It's a given that we have to come and congratulate your family during such a celebratory moment."
"Furthermore, Jaston and Alicia just got engaged a few days ago. As in-laws, we must visit to give our congratulations to your family."
After hearing what Rahmi had to say for himself, a change came over Yaymos and he smiled. He then said, "Since you have come to congratulate us, the Yuwen family naturally welcomes you with open arms. Let's head in, everyone!"
Yaymos ushered the Chung family into the living room.
He looked at Kael, who was sitting at the head of the table, and said, "Old Master Chung has brought the Chung family to congratulate us on Jaston being selected by Poison Cloud Hall." "Congratulations Kael, the Yuwen family will certainly increase in strength with that outstanding grandson of yours," Saxen congratulated with a smile.
Kael narrowed his eyes and sized Saxen up before replying, "Many thanks, Mr. Chung!"
"Kael, these are some congratulatory tokens from the Chung family." As he spoke, Saxen waved his hand, and the rest of the family members promptly brought the gifts forward.
One by one, the gifts were presented before everyone.
"A thousand-year-old dragon ginseng."
"A bottle of spring water."
"A herb farm in the North City!"
The audience broke out into heated discussion when the gifts were announced.
"What does it mean that the Chung family are giving them such luxurious gifts?"
"Those gifts are worth at least a million stone coins!"
"Millions? I don't think so, it might even cost up to ten times that."
"Has the Chung family admitted defeat?"
Kael smiled as he looked the gifts over. He waved his hand and thanked Saxen. "Thank you for the gifts, Mr. Chung."
He added, "I heard that it's your 90th birthday today. If that's the case, I shall provide a gift for you as well." After saying so, he clapped his hands together.
Saxen shook his hand, "There's no need for such generosity, Kael. A 90th birthday isn't anything noteworthy."
At that moment, the servants of the Yuwen family handed Saxen a box. "Do open it, Mr. Chung. This is my gift for your 90th birthday," said Kael. "Thank you, Kael." Saxen glanced at the wooden box and opened it. The object inside was laid before everyone. It was a thin piece of paper.
On the paper, there were three large words, 'Letter of Divorce.'
The content below that was even more electrifying.
"Jaston Yuwen of the Yuwen family was engaged to Alicia Chung of the Chung family. Jaston Yuwen is a man of innate talent and impressive skills, but due to Alicia Chung's loitering and reckless entanglement with another man... The Yuwen family hereby ceases any affiliation with Alicia Chung. The engagement is hereby terminated."
When the contents were revealed, the entire living room fell into pin-drop silence. All eyes were on Saxen.
Instantly, the smile on Saxen's face vanished and his countenance fell several shades. He even began trembling from the provocation and anger he felt.
He had initially intended to reach out and admit defeat as well as show goodwill towards the Yuwen family. That was in hopes that the Yuwen family would preserve their dignity so both families could politely advance in a mutual understanding.
However, never had he imagined that the Yuwen family would act in such an extreme way, completely disregarding their reputation. They had announced the termination of the engagement before the public and even chose to provide a letter of divorce.
The reputation of Alicia, Saxen, and even the entire Chung family would crumble to shambles.
Saxen's expression flitted between various emotions one after another. Anger, provocation, irritation... They all meshed together.
Richardus, beside him, couldn't hold himself back any longer. He walked up and told Saxen, "We have already expressed our goodwill, yet they chose to insult us and Alicia. If the Yuwen family acts this way, there's no need for us to make it up to them."
However, his elder brother, Rahmi, saw it differently. He interjected, "Richardus, I understand that you adore your daughter.
However, the Xuwen family did
nothing wrong in this situation per se. Alicia and Jaston were engaged but she acted out of line as his fiancee by getting involved with that mam called Fade. This is a result of your failure, as her father, to raise her well."
Rochelle echoed in agreement, "Richardus, although Rahmi's words are unpleasant, they are the truth. Alicia was in the wrong first, so the termination is normal. After all, Jaston is now a disciple of Poison Cloud Hall. Alicia isn't worthy of him anymore."
When he heard that, Richardus was flushed with anger. "All of you, can you even call yourself a Chung family member? How could you say that about Alicia? How could we even claim that we're family?"
Kael, from the head of the table, showed no intention of stopping the argument at all. Instead, he looked as though he was at the cinema, engrossed in watching the internal spat and drama of the Chung family
The more heated the argument got, the more repercussions there would be for their reputation. In other words, the more powerful the Yuwen family would get.
In the future, the Yuwen family would definitely stand at the pinnacle of all the families in the entire outer island.
At present, Saxen was extremely conflicted.
If such a thing had happened in the past, he would never allow himself to be humiliated that way..
However, the situation had changed.
The Yuwen family had grown
stronger, while the Chung family had fallen behind. If they really went all out in a battle, the Chung family would definitely not end up well Moreover, with the pressure that the Poison Cloud Hall exerted, the Yuwen family could possibly even
eliminate the Chung family in its
entirety.
At that thought, Saxen could only let out a long sigh to himself. He looked up, his gaze shifting in the direction of his children, who were still arguing. He snapped, "Shut your mouths!"
"Dad!"
Everyone fell silent. All eyes were on him.
Kael and the others from the Yuwen family looked over as well.
Right then, Saxen had become the focus of everyone in the room.
Saxen reached out and picked up the divorce letter from the wooden box. Looking at Kael, he said, "It is indeed the Chung family's fault in the debacle with the engagement. It is only natural that the Yuwen family wants to terminate it. The Chung family will accept this divorce letter."
When those words were said, the room went into an uproar.
Richardus, unable to bear it, began saying, "How could you..."
"Shut up!" Saxen turned his head and shouted, shooting a glare at his second son.
Then, Kael, sporting a smug smile, slowly said, "It's certainly for the best that you can accept it, Mr. Chung. Please, take a seat!"
Saxen cupped his hands together in a show of respect. The members of the Chung family went to sit down.
However, right then, Jaston strutted out and exclaimed, "Wait a minute!"
Immediately, the Chung family members stopped in their tracks and looked Jaston's way.
Jaston's gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Alicia. He smiled and said, "Even though my engagement with Alicia has been terminated, and she won't be my wife... "Alicia is not too bad of a woman. She can be my concubine. What's your opinion of that, Chung family?"
His words shocked the entire Chung family. Their expressions instantly morphed.
