Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 355 - 352 Sharp-tongued Ye Chuxue_2

Hearing Yuann the sixth’s words, everyone present was stunned.

If the Tang Family could form a marriage alliance with the Yuann Family, leveraging the power of the Yuanns, they could surely secure the position of the top family in Hang City over time. Ye Chuxue would also rise alongside her husband, ascending into the highest echelons of elite society in Huaxia.

The lovesick women’s eyes towards Ye Chuxue were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They cursed the injustice of fate, questioning why all good things happened to Ye Chuxue.

Some astute people had already realized at this point. No wonder the Tang Family went to great lengths to throw a grand coming-of-age ceremony for a granddaughter; it was a preconceived plan.

Old Lady Tang smiled and said, "This is wonderful, Chuxue becoming a daughter-in-law of your Yuann Family is also her good fortune!"

However, before she could finish speaking, Ye Chuxue suddenly interrupted, "I don’t consider this good fortune at all. Whoever wants it can have it!"

Immediately, the atmosphere turned awkward, and everyone looked in unison towards Ye Chuxue.

Old Lady Tang felt like she couldn’t save face and scolded, "Chuxue, this is not up to you. Parents’ command and matchmakers’ arrangement have always been the tradition!"

This was the first time Ye Chuxue had been scolded by Old Lady Tang, and she felt lost for a moment. She looked around but couldn’t find the figures of her parents nor did she find Li Chen in the crowd.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yuann the sixth chuckled lightly and said, "Sister, don’t be angry; it would only upset you. Since your granddaughter does not agree, let us put aside this engagement for now. We wouldn’t want to stir up any displeasure!"

"By the way, today is your granddaughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. My elder brother has specially prepared a gift for her; I hope you won’t find it too simple!"

While speaking, he emphasized the words "elder brother" heavily, his squinting eyes constantly observing Old Lady Tang’s expression.

Yuann the sixth’s elder brother, naturally, is the current head of the Yuann Family, the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Yuann Mingzhen. He is a figure so powerful that a mere stomp of his foot can cause an 8.0 magnitude earthquake in the business world of Huaxia and even the whole of Asia.

Just two years ago, the former wealthiest man in West Mountain Province offended the Yuanns. Within half a month, he was boycotted by Yuann Mingzhen and ultimately met his downfall with insolvency and liquidation.

That’s not the end; the man and his family of seventeen also perished in an accident, leaving no remains.

The meaning behind Yuann the sixth’s words was clear.

Sure enough, after hearing Yuann the sixth’s words, the faces of everyone from the Tang Family changed dramatically.

If the wealthiest man in West Mountain Province could suffer such a fate for offending the Yuann Family, one could only imagine the dire consequences that awaited the Tang Family.

Yuann the sixth looked at the expressions on the Tang Family’s faces, clearly pleased.

"Yuann Hua, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take the gift to your sister Chuxue!"

Yuann Hua responded and brought out a delicate gift box, walking towards Ye Chuxue.

Upon opening the gift box, a dazzling brilliance flashed, blinding everyone.

"Wow, such a huge diamond!" Zhou Lian exclaimed unbelievably upon seeing the diamond in the box.

Compared to the diamond in Yuann Hua’s hand, what they called a ’pigeon egg’ was simply negligible.

"If I’m not mistaken, this seems to be the South Africa Star, which appeared last year at Christie’s Auction House and was bought by a mysterious buyer for a sky-high price of 112 million British Pounds."

Now, the exchange rate of British Pounds to RMB is 8.913. 112 million British Pounds, when converted to RMB, is about 998.23 million, just shy of a billion RMB.

Taking out the nearly one billion worth ’South Africa Star’ as a coming-of-age gift for Ye Chuxue, the granddaughter of the Tang Family, even princes of Great Britain and Arabian oil tycoons cannot match the Yuann Family’s grand gesture.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened, all filled with admiration as they looked at Ye Chuxue.

At this instant, she was undoubtedly the most dazzling princess.

However, Ye Chuxue’s next words caught everyone present off guard.

"Thank you, this gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it. Besides, I do not like diamonds!"

Yuann Hua did not expect to be rejected, let alone publicly and so ruthlessly by a girl.

"Chuxue, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you reject the sincere sentiment of the young master of the Yuann Family?"

Old Lady Tang, worried about offending the Yuann Family, immediately scolded Ye Chuxue loudly.

Ye Chuxue bit her lip and replied with neither servility nor overbearingness: "Grandmother, I appreciate and thank the Yuann Family for their kind intentions. However, you should also realize that your granddaughter is a person with flesh and blood, not a commodity for you to exchange for benefits."

Old Lady Tang, furious, her face turned red as she exclaimed, "I am so angry, so angry. Like mother, like daughter!"

Ye Chuxue waited for the old lady to finish scolding, then calmly said: "Grandmother, my mother has taught me since I was young. She has been influenced by your character, learning to be strong and independent, and even told me to learn from you!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Even the autocratic Old Buddha was at a loss for words upon hearing Ye Chuxue’s remarks.

This granddaughter spoke confidently and flawlessly.

Since you claim that ’like mother, like daughter,’ well, I am a daughter raised by my mother, yet she too is a daughter raised by you. Moreover, she inherited her temperament from you, and ultimately, the problem lies with you.

Yuann the sixth burst into laughter and with his murky eyes, he coldly said: "What a sharp-tongued little girl. According to you, our Yuann Family’s men are not worthy of your Tang Family’s women?"

He was cornering the Tang Family to make a stance.

Either ally with the Yuann Family through marriage or become an enemy to the Yuann Family. There was no third option.

Although Ye Chuxue was willful, she understood the gravity of the situation. Slightly careless, and she could implicate her entire grandmother’s family. Not daring to rashly respond, her palms sweated with anxiety. She looked around nervously, yet she still could not spot Li Chen.

Seeing Chuxue and Tang Lan were both as stubborn, Old Lady Tang, who couldn’t even control her own daughter twenty years ago, let alone a granddaughter from another generation, also dared not hastily make a statement for fear of provoking further troubles.

Just as the Tang Family faced the relentless pressure from the Yuann Family, an explosive voice sounded from outside the door.

"It seems the Yuann Family is still aware that their offspring is no good. Good, good, there’s still hope, never give up on treatment!"

Hearing this bold voice, everyone present felt a surge of shock.

Seeing the person who arrived, Ye Chuxue’s heart leapt with joy and disregarding the reservedness typical of young ladies, she ran straight towards him.

"Brother Li Chen, you’ve arrived!"
