Chapter 325: Chapter 325 now, do I have the right to speak? 1
He was used to speaking his mind in the Huo family, and because of his seniority, he had never been scolded like this by anyone, especially by a woman.
Huo Mingyue was very good. She had pretended to be obedient for decades, but when she got old, she actually learned to talk back!
Huo Jun cleared his throat and raised his hand to press down. Someone immediately went to the other two tables to remind the guests to be quiet.
The room instantly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Huo Jun who had stood up, waiting for him to speak.
Someone handed him a microphone, and Huo Jun took it, he said in a deep voice, “Today, we’ve invited the Huo family and the Xi family over because of the engagement between the two families. “Back then, my second brother and Old XI had made an engagement. We hoped that the two families would be able to live in harmony and be as close as a family. “Unfortunately, the tea leaves have turned cold. The XI family probably doesn’t like the Huo family either. Back then, Yan Xi took the token and directly asked our son Ang to break off the engagement.”
The elders of the Xi family quickly said that it was a no, and they were scared out of their wits.
There was nothing they could do. The XI family had always been on the decline, and their children and grandchildren were all mediocre talents. They were no longer as good as the Huo family.
The Huo family had produced Huo Xiao. Although he did not recognize any of his relatives, his blood was still thicker than water.
In the next generation, there was Huo Zi’ang. These old families used to look down on celebrities, but times were different now. Besides, the entertainment industry made a lot of money. Who wouldn’t want a piece of the pie.
No matter what, these old men from the Xi family did not dare to offend Huo Jun. .
Huo Jun looked at the crowd’s reaction and listened to the pleas and flattery. He felt a little more at ease.
“Of course, it could also be because Yan Xi was taught by the Yan family. Her temper is very different from the Xi family’s, so no one is able to catch her eye. “But I think it’s better for girls to be gentle and obedient. After all, things have changed in the past.”
Huo Jun looked at Yan Xi and saw that she had been smiling and not saying anything. He felt that it was about time.
Even if he wanted to temper the other party, he would have to wait until the matter was settled. He had already entered the house, so how could he be afraid of not finding a chance?
Now was not the time to dig up the past.
“Fortunately, our son has been working hard and has always wanted to get back together with the Xi family. He is the person who is about to become the head of the Huo family. He is willing to forget the past and give the Xi family a chance. My grandfather has nothing to say. He just wants to ask the XI family, do you still acknowledge this engagement?”
The elders of the XI family had agreed beforehand and quickly accepted it on behalf of Yan XI.
“Of course we’ll accept it. This is an engagement made by the elders, so it definitely won’t count if the younger generation breaks off the engagement in private.”
“The engagement made by the parents and elders won’t harm you.”
“Zi Ang, this child’s looks and character are all excellent, and he treats you very well. He doesn’t mind that you broke off the engagement and doesn’t mind that you’re sick. A man like this can not be found even with a lantern in hand.”
“What do women do all their lives for? Isn’t it just to find a good man to marry and educate their children?”
Someone turned to look at Huo Mingyue. “Sister-in-law, please advise Yan Xi not to be so stubborn.”
The veins on Huo Mingyue’s forehead were popping up. Where did this thousand-year-old zombie come from?
The Qing dynasty was long dead, yet he was still making such confusing remarks.
“Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to say something?”The person who asked clearly saw Huo Mingyue as their united front.
Huo mingyue smiled and said, “What do you want me to say? Although I really want to scold you, I don’t want to scold you.”
The Old Man:”? ? ?”
He clearly didn’t understand. Did he think that he was hearing things? He turned his head and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Huo Mingyue took a deep breath. A bunch of shameless dogs. They insulted the dogs by scolding them!
Huo Jun had been paying attention to these people’s reactions. When he saw that Yan XI and Huo Mingyue were unmoved, he couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied. He turned around and called out to Xi Jingxing, who was sitting at the bottom.
“Jingxing, you’re the head of the Xi family now. Tell me, do you dare to deny the engagement your father made?”
Xi Jingxing hesitated for a moment before glancing at Yan XI and Huo Mingyue.
He wasn’t stupid. The two of them hadn’t said anything, so it was obvious that they wouldn’t agree.
“Umm... grandfather, I think we still need to discuss this matter properly.”
Huo Jun slammed the table angrily. “Am I not discussing this with you now? !”
Xi Jingxing was in a dilemma and didn’t dare to express his position. “Yan Yan, look, what exactly are you thinking? You can tell your great-uncle about it.”
“What does she know about the words of her parents’matchmaker? She’s still so young!”Huo Jun was dissatisfied with XI Jingxing’s refusal. “Don’t tell me you can’t make this decision?”
“He really can’t make this decision.”Yan XI sighed slightly and stood up.
If it wasn’t for the other party pressing her, she really wouldn’t have gone this far.
Back then, she knew that breaking off the engagement under such circumstances was a huge blow to Huo Zi’ang, so she felt guilty for many years and tried her best to make it up to the other party.
However, in the end, she didn’t owe him anything. The XI family didn’t get any benefits from the Huo family’s engagement, so there was no need for them to pay anything back.
“Only I can make my own decisions regarding my marriage. This is a right given to me by the country and the law. No one is allowed to interfere.”
“You have no right to speak here!”Huo Jun frowned and interrupted Yan XI. He was obviously very unhappy with Yan XI. “Why would a junior like you butt in? !”
He hated it when a woman said that she could make her own decisions.
He was already more than 80 years old. could he not make her own decisions?
Yan XI glanced at Huo Ziang. She wanted to crack open his skull and see what was inside.
He must have filled the entire ocean. How could he be so stupid as to find a dead old man to show off in front of her?
No wonder he was also law-blind. His whole family wanted to be law-makers.
Yan XI said, “Since I don’t have the right to speak, then I’m sure the engagement has nothing to do with me. I’ll leave now. See You Out!”
She stood up, and Huo Mingyue stood up as well. There were bodyguards beside her who immediately wanted to stop her.
Without warning, Yan Xi suddenly grabbed the tablecloth on the main table and pulled hard!
The cup fell, making a series of muffled clangs.
Yan Xi felt it was a pity that this private room was covered with a carpet. The effect was not so good, and the sound was not so loud.
However, this movement was enough to intimidate this group of people. Even the old men at this table could not avoid it in time. More or less, they were splashed by the food and soup, and they looked miserable.
Huo Jun’s good-quality tang suit was poured with a glass of red wine. He was so angry that he almost fainted.
“Oh my god, oh my God!”
Yan Xi did not intend to listen to his confused words. She did not want to have to cross the Brazier when she went home later.
She picked up the white wine in the middle of the table and knocked it on the table.
This time, she was very satisfied with the voice. It was clear and loud, and the smell of the wine was quite strong. She was a little excited when she smelled it.
“Now, do I have the right to speak?”
Her gaze slowly swept across the crowd. Everyone subconsciously avoided her gaze.
