Chapter 200: Chapter 201: The Chen Family Welcomes the Bride
Capital City.
A bridal convoy composed of a hundred luxury cars headed toward the Xia family, stretching for several kilometers. Leading the way were ten domineering Rolls-Royces, with a golden-colored extended "Angel" Phantom in the forefront. This car bore a license plate with the numerals 666, familiar to those who knew that it was the Chen family’s private vehicle, shocking the entire Capital City.
"What an extravagant display!"
"It’s truly fitting for the Chen family!"
"So magnificent!"
Along the way, countless citizens of Capital City were stunned.
At this moment, ordinary people finally understood what it meant to be from a wealthy family!
As one of the top three among Capital City’s ten great wealthy families, the Chen family truly deserved their status as a commercial juggernaut!
Xia Family Manor.
Headed by Family Head Xia Hui, more than a dozen elders of the Xia family had been waiting on-site for a long time. When they saw the approaching grand bridal convoy composed of a hundred luxury vehicles in the distance, the Xia family was also shocked.
The convoy slowly came to a halt outside Xia Family Manor.
A golden "Angel" insignia Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped, and an elderly butler stepped forward to open the door first. A young man, donning a sharp black suit and holding a bouquet of flowers, slowly got out of the car.
This man was none other than the Chen family’s eldest young master—Chen Ting!
"Uncle Xia!" Chen Ting greeted.
"Haha, Chen Ting has arrived, welcome, welcome!" Xia Hui revealed an enthusiastic smile.
"Young Master Chen, according to the agreed time, you’ve arrived a whole half hour early!" one of the Xia family elders said with a laugh.
"Hehe, today is a good day for fetching the bride, being early is a sign of respect for Shiqi!" Chen Ting responded.
At that moment, a group of middle-aged men stepped out of the ten Rolls-Royces behind Chen Ting.
These men had sharp gazes and extraordinary aura, all of them strong individuals above the fifth rank of the Qi and Blood Realm. The silver-haired elder leading them possessed an esteemed status, with his strength reaching the seventh rank of the Qi and Blood Realm!
"Family Head Xia!" the silver-haired elder said with a smile.
"Haha, I didn’t expect the renowned great elder of the Chen family to come as well, welcome!" Xia Hui greeted him warmly, shaking the silver-haired elder’s hand.
"Hehe, today is a joyous day for both our families, how could I not come to offer congratulations and present the betrothal gifts?" The Chen family’s great elder said, and with a wave of his hand commanded, "Bring forth the Chen family’s betrothal gifts!"
"The Chen family’s betrothal gifts are eight items in total, symbolizing the auspicious union of the dragon and phoenix!" A master of ceremonies, holding a list, announced loudly.
"The first item—two luxurious manors in the southern suburbs of Capital City."
The mere first item made many elders of the Xia family gasp in amazement.
"Those are prime properties, manors in the southern suburbs of Capital City!"
"A single ordinary manor is worth over a billion, not to mention two luxurious ones!"
"Truly worthy of the Chen family, a royal flush right off the bat!"
After a brief pause, the master of ceremonies continued; "The second item— a thousand taels of gold."
"The third item—a set of phoenix coronet and robes of rank!"
...
After all eight items were read, each one enough to cause a stir in Capital City, the Xia family was deeply moved.
"Although our Xia family is also among the ten great families, compared to the Chen family, who rank within the top three, our foundation is still too weak!"
"The betrothal gifts from the Chen family to us are worth a total of ten billion, enough for our Xia family for ten years!"
"As for the matter of ceremonial gifts, they’ve hit the mark perfectly!" Led by Xia Hui, the Xia family was visibly excited, and Xia Hui made a welcoming gesture; "Great elder of the Chen, please come inside!"
Accompanied by Xia Hui, hundreds of Chen family members entered the manor in a majestic procession.
Arriving at Xia Shiqi’s residence amidst chatter and laughter, everyone looked up and were suddenly taken aback.
They saw a young man sitting silently in a wheelchair with his eyes closed.
"Is this the Xia family’s eldest young master, Xia Wuwei?" the Chen family’s great elder asked with a look of surprise.
"Hehe, indeed, it is my useless son!" Xia Hui said, his gaze angrily fixed on Xia Wuwei as he added, "What are you still doing here making a spectacle of yourself? Get out now!"
Xia Wuwei slowly opened his eyes; "Everyone, get out!"
His words immediately provoked widespread anger.
"Xia Wuwei, how dare you!" Xia Hui reprimanded furiously, and as he was about to step forward, Xia Wuwei slowly revealed a button in his hand and said with a cold laugh, "There’s a bomb strapped to my wheelchair. If you dare come closer, I’ll take us all to our deaths!"
Everyone stared at Xia Wuwei’s wheelchair and, indeed, it had numerous bombs attached to it!
Hiss!
A sharp intake of breath was heard from the crowd!
Xia Hui instinctively retreated, angrily saying, "Xia Wuwei, you... how much longer do you want to continue disgracing yourself?"
"Me, a disgrace?" Xia Wuwei sneered; "My mother died suddenly at the age of forty, and it’s said that it had something to do with the Chen family, didn’t it?"
Whoosh!
A single statement caused an uproar!
Xia Hui’s face changed dramatically, then he retorted, "Who told you that? It’s pure nonsense!"
"Even if it wasn’t the Chen family’s doing, it still has to do with them!" Xia Wuwei sneered; "I, unlike you, Family Head Xia, would not marry off my daughter to an enemy family for the sake of family honor!"
"You unfilial son, shut your mouth. I’ll beat you to death!" Xia Hui raged.
"Family Head Xia, please calm yourself!" The Chen family’s great elder intervened; "Today is a grand day of joy for both our families, we should not shed blood."
"This miscreant is too outrageous!" Xia Hui’s face was livid with rage.
"Hehe, young people, we must be understanding!" the silver-haired elder said, exchanging glances with Chen Ting standing beside him.
"Please, great elder!" Chen Ting spoke up.
"Hehe, well then, although it’s shameful for an elder like myself to act against a younger person, one rotten apple should not spoil the whole bunch!" said the Chen family’s great elder, his dim pupils suddenly exuding a murderous intent.
