Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City -
Chapter 57 - 58 Silence
Chapter 57: Chapter 58 Silence
The two figures outside the door were no one else but the female protagonist of this engagement banquet, Sun Feifei.
And the male was Lin Hao.
They stood at the doorway, bathed in sunlight, appearing to be a match made in heaven at first glance.
However, the expressions of everyone in the hall grew peculiar.
Today was a day every person present was keenly aware of.
On such a day, Sun Feifei had brought a man home.
Moreover, she made such intimate gestures in front of everyone.
This behavior was a blatant disregard for the engagement banquet, a slap in the face of the Sun Family and Mo Feng.
"Feifei, what are you doing? Why have you returned so late? Don’t you know what day it is?" Sun Feifei’s mother, Luo Yanhong, was the first to recover her composure and approached to grab Sun Feifei’s hand, attempting to pull her inside.
She exerted her strength, but Sun Feifei struggled free of her grasp: "Mom, let go of me."
Luo Yanhong furrowed her brows, she knew her daughter, aware that Sun Feifei had always been vehemently opposed to this engagement.
As a woman, she deeply understood the pain of arranged marriage, but what could she do?
"Feifei, be a good girl, come inside with mom." Luo Yanhong turned to Lin Hao, "Young man, today is a special occasion, please leave. Feifei has an engagement today."
Luo Yanhong did her best to maintain her composure, even if she guessed that the young man before her might be the boyfriend her daughter had mentioned, her face still brimmed with a forced smile.
Lin Hao remained unmoved.
Su Feifei’s face flushed red: "Mom, I’ve always obeyed you since I was young, but I cannot comply with you on this matter."
"Lin Hao, come with me."
Sun Feifei, taking Lin Hao’s arm, circled past Luo Yanhong and walked into the great hall. In front of everyone, she squeezed out a smile:
"Dad, uncle, second aunt, third uncle, aunt, fourth uncle... this is my boyfriend, Lin Hao."
"Hello to you all." Lin Hao greeted everyone warmly.
The air grew inexplicably silent.
All eyes in the room converged on Lin Hao, sizing him up.
Clad in cheap clothing, looking like a high school student, he was passable in looks, but from his attire, it was clear he was merely a commoner.
"Insolence!" Sun Rilong suddenly scowled and spoke sternly, "Feifei, do you not know what today is?"
"Not any beggar can be brought into the Sun Family, he’s your boyfriend, haha, is he worthy?"
Sun Rilong, the facilitator of the marriage arrangement from before, had a very high regard for Mo Feng. If the two families intermarried, his gains might even surpass Sun Hancheng’s.
How could he allow someone to disrupt it?
"Indeed, Feifei, what kind of taste do you have, fancying such a person?" Sun Rilong’s wife, Tong Lirong, looked at Lin Hao with disdain,
"If your grandfather sees such a person later, what would he think?"
"My business is not your concern." Sun Feifei was not polite to Tong Lirong.
"How dare you speak to your elder aunt in such a manner?" Sun Rilong’s face soured, "Sun Hancheng, is this how you teach your daughter?"
Sun Hancheng, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed elegantly and scholarly, replied, "Brother, it is my fault."
He then turned his head to look at Sun Feifei: "Daughter, apologize to your aunt."
"No."
Sun Feifei defiantly said, "Dad, Mom, I just wanted to tell you today, let’s cancel this engagement banquet, I already have a boyfriend."
"Mo Feng is so outstanding, he will definitely find someone better than me." Sun Feifei looked towards the crowd, towards Mo Feng who sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and a smile on his face.
Around her, the people of the Sun Family wore strange expressions. After all, Sun Feifei was the daughter of Sun Hancheng, and some of them were not entitled to speak, they could only watch.
Only the couple Sun Rilong had the right to speak.
Not only was he Sun Hancheng’s elder brother, he was also the instigator of this marriage arrangement and the most powerful among all those present.
"Feifei, it’s an honor for our Sun Family to stand with Mo Feng. Since you recognize his excellence, you should be together, get to know him well, and bear his children," said Sun Rilong with a cold face. "As for this trash boyfriend of yours, wherever he came from, tell him to roll back there."
"The Sun Family does not welcome such junk."
"Feifei, your uncle is right. Your aunt here won’t hold your earlier behavior against you. As long as you can be with Mo Feng, your future will surely be brilliant," Tong Lirong said sarcastically. "The abilities of Mo Feng are unmatched by just anyone. Some people should really take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror to see their true colors before trying to climb high branches, haha..."
"Haha, exactly, not even looking at oneself, how could you compare to young master Mo, how could you be worthy of our Feifei."
"Get lost quickly, thinking you’re something special, daring to show up at the Sun Family home, if you don’t leave now, the security team will come in. Being thrown out will be a disgrace."
"Feifei, if you care about him, let him leave quickly. From now on, stop associating with him."
The Sun Family members looked coldly; at times like this, of course, they chose to side with Sun Rilong and Mo Feng.
In this big family, who didn’t know that the future power holders of the Sun Family would be them?
Lin Hao’s hands were stuffed in his pockets, his demeanor calm and composed, indifferent to the ridicule of the crowd, his expression unchanged.
Even the corners of his mouth always carried a hint of a smile.
Calmness and composure were fully embodied in him.
For him, these people ridiculing him were nothing but poor flatterers.
He didn’t even have the interest to respond to them.
Sun Feifei’s realm was not as high as Lin Hao’s; her pretty face flushed red as she looked at her parents, hoping they would speak up for her.
Feeling her daughter’s gaze, Luo Yanhong’s eyes showed struggle.
She was unwilling to trade her daughter’s happiness for the future of the Sun Family, but as a mere woman, what could she do?
Sun Hancheng’s eyes showed anger, and though he had always doted on his daughter, at this moment, he could only sigh.
Daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
A sigh of helplessness!
Living in the Sun Family, even though life was better than common people’s, without power, he was merely living a little better than the ordinary.
All shiny on the surface, but like a fish knows the water’s temperature, he knew his own situation; even a small Binhai underworld boss he couldn’t handle.
The parents remained silent.
Disappointment flashed in Sun Feifei’s clear eyes.
Now, even her parents were unreliable—who else could she count on?
Only herself!
Her gaze was piercing, she raised her head and looked at Tong Lirong, "If you think so highly of Mo Feng, then you marry him yourself, don’t drag me into this."
"You..." Tong Lirong was furious, "Sun Hancheng, how did you raise your daughter?"
"Feifei, say less," Sun Hancheng stepped forward, pacifying Sun Feifei, then turned his head towards Lin Hao, "You, what’s your name?"
