My wife is a stunning female CEO
Chapter 2466: Humiliation
Su Chen took a look and saw several elders sitting in the main hall.
Zhong Hefeng is the head of the family.
Next to him sat Zhong Jian and Zhong Yushang.
Su Chen's gaze paused on Zhong Yushang, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
The spiritual energy in Zhong Yushang's body is surging, and I'm afraid he will be able to break through to the fifth level today!
Su Chen approached.
Only then did I realize that there was another group of people sitting in the main hall.
This group of people looked unfamiliar, and their clothing was not what was common in the Zhong family.
Sitting inside was a charming-looking woman with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
It seems that he doesn't take anyone from the Zhong family seriously.
Sitting next to the charming young woman was a woman who was about forty or fifty years old.
The woman still had her charm, but her face was extremely cold.
She seems to be the leader of this group of forces, and her strength is at the ninth level of spiritual master.
The rest are all spiritualists, and their ranks are all at the seventh or eighth grade.
The middle-aged woman glanced coldly at everyone in the Zhong family and spoke slowly, "Master Zhong, my Shui family is here today, I believe you also know why we are here."
"Yun Jin is the top talent of my Shui family. I made an engagement with Master Zhong because he is truly amazing and talented."
"But now, Master Zhong's legs are disabled and his cultivation has regressed. He is no longer worthy of Yun Jin."
"What's more, Yun Jin has been chosen by the thirteenth elder of Qinglan Sect as an internal disciple!"
The middle-aged woman's words made Zhong Jian and Zhong Hefeng's faces change and they clenched their fists.
The designated disciple of Qinglan Sect?
Shui Yunjin raised her chin and looked at Zhong Jian with disdain.
"I am already a disciple of Qinglan Sect, Zhong Jian. You and I are now worlds apart."
Zhong Jian stared at Shui Yunjin, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
The Shui family is a large family in Huofeng City, one of the twelve cities of the Daqian Dynasty.
Qinglong City and Huofeng City are the two first cities among the twelve cities!
Generally speaking, the big families in this city are all married to the City Lord's Mansion.
Back then, the Qinglong City Lord's Mansion came to propose matchmaking, but Zhong Hefeng rejected it because of the Shui family.
It even created enmity with the City Lord's Mansion.
The last time Zhong Jian was seriously injured was because Shui Yunjin once said that she needed a medicinal herb from the Warcraft Forest.
It was because she had a need that Zhong Jian went on the adventure!
Moreover, when the two families got married, the Zhong family had already given an engagement gift!
The Shui family took away a total of one thousand spirit stones, as well as countless other rare treasures.
Now, this group of people came empty-handed to cancel the engagement.
Not only did he not show any apology, he didn't even mention the betrothal gift, as if it never happened.
This attitude made Zhong Hefeng and Zhong Jian's foreheads throb with veins and their eyes turn red!
Seeing that Zhong Jian didn't say anything, Shui Yunjin stood up immediately: "Zhong Jian! What do you mean!"
"Do you still want to cling to me?"
The middle-aged woman beside her also frowned: "This time, I am here to help Yun Jin deal with this matter, so as to save some face for your Zhong family!"
"If you don't agree, then the next time someone comes, it will be someone from the Qinglan Sect!"
"If the whole city gets in an uproar, your Zhong family will lose all their reputation!"
"Zhong Hefeng, as the head of the family, you should make a decision quickly. Otherwise, the fall of the Zhong family may be imminent. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hefeng's face instantly turned pale and his chest heaved violently.
Zhong Jian turned to look at Zhong Hefeng, his eyes red as he said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm an unfilial son!"
"It's all because of my incompetence that you and the Zhong family have been humiliated with me."
Zhong Hefeng's hands were shaking.
He held Zhong Jian's hand and shook his head slowly.
"If you, the Shui family, want to cancel the engagement, you can!"
Zhong Hefeng's eyes were cold: "Then return the deposit that my Zhong family gave me in full!"
"what?"
When Shui Yunjin heard this, her expression suddenly changed!
"You, the Zhong family, do you still have any shame? You've given away all the things, and you still have the nerve to ask for them back?"
Many people were amazed at the farce in front of them.
Su Chen frowned slightly.
He has completely absorbed the inheritance of the Immortal Master of Alchemy and Medicine.
So, when he looked at Zhong Jian's body again, he already had a solution in his mind.
If Zhong Jian wanted to recover, it was just a matter of raising his hand!
The Shui family is too short-sighted!
Su Chen turned around and looked.
Zhong Hefeng had an ugly look on his face, the other elders looked completely gloating, and Zhong Yushang was even more aggrieved and in tears.
Shui Yunjin's angry rebuke wiped out the last bit of warmth in Zhong Jian's heart.
Zhong Jian was angry: "Or, if the Shui family returns the deposit, I will naturally agree to cancel the engagement."
"Otherwise, don't even think about backing out of this marriage so easily!"
"Anyway, I'm already a cripple, so those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes!"
"Shui Yunjin, can you afford to waste time with me?"
When Shui Yunjin heard this, her expression changed instantly!
The middle-aged woman next to her also looked extremely unhappy.
The gift money that the Zhong family gave to the Shui family had already been used up by them.
Although, the Shui family and the Zhong family seem to be similar large families.
But in recent years, the Shui family has been spending more than they earn.
Half of the betrothal gift given by the Zhong family was used as bribes to the Qinglan Sect, and the other half was given to Shui Yunjin for her cultivation.
Now, how can they pay back the deposit?
But Zhong Jian's words really hit them right in the sore spot.
Now, the Shui family is about to become prosperous, so they naturally cannot let the issue of the bride price bring disgrace upon themselves.
If Shui Yunjin is delayed from joining Qinglan Sect because of this incident, it would be a loss!
Therefore, even if they have to raise funds from everywhere, they have to get it together!
"I will report to the master when I get back, and the deposit will be returned before today!"
"I hope the Zhong family won't go back on their word!"
The middle-aged woman stood up, shook her hands fiercely, and walked out.
Shui Yunjin immediately followed, and before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Zhong Jian fiercely.
The Shui family left.
The entire Zhong family was in a state of depression.
Everyone felt that Zhong Hefeng was really unlucky.
Not only was my daughter's Spirit Gathering Pill stolen by Zhong Yaoer.
Now, my son’s engagement has been broken off by someone else.
If you tell others about it, you will lose both your face and dignity.
But he could only grit his teeth and swallow these hardships.
"Alas! Don't think too much, Patriarch."
"It would be good if we could get back the betrothal gift!"
"Yeah! At most it's just a loss of face, but at least it's not a big loss."
Several elders comforted Zhong Hefeng one by one, and then left the hall one after another.
After a while.
Only Zhong Hefeng, Zhong Jian and Zhong Yushang were left in the hall.
The three of them looked quite lonely!
Anyone who encounters such a thing will not feel good!
Seeing this, Su Chen sighed and stepped in.
While the three were distracted, Su Chen slowly sat down in an empty seat nearby.
"Mr. Su."
When Zhong Hefeng heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Su Chen, and immediately stood up.
Zhong Jian and Zhong Yushang also hurriedly greeted Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Master Zhong is about to have a double celebration, why do you look so worried?"
Zhong Hefeng was stunned when he heard this.
Zhong Jian and Zhong Yushang were also confused!
