Feng Da Zhong's eyes grew wide in horror as he checked the seal of approval on the golden booklet. Others "Impossible! How is this even possible?" He said, staring up at Feng Shufen. Then turning to Feng Yu Hao, he added, "Brother, won't you say anything? Your son is clearly disrespecting us, slapping his marriage certificate on our faces like this. Will you still be silent?"
He said, and Feng Yu Hao called Gao Fan with the certificate. Flipping the booklet to check, he asked, "Shufen, what is all this? You have agreed on the elite marriage law?"
Feng Shufen nodded without any hesitation. "To me, elite marriage law felt more suitable so I promised the wedding to my wife under that law." He said before reaching out to hold Li Xue's hands with all authority.
Zhang Xiaotong's fist clenched as she stood up with all aggression, ready to jump in the conversation, losing her calm at the revealed facts. But before she could give away her worn fa?ade, Feng Da Zhong interrupted, all aggrieved, "Brother, your son has clearly insulted us. He never brought this woman to meet us, nor did he seek for our permission. And now he is bringing this woman along with this certificate. If not insult, what else do we take this as?"
He said before looking disdainfully at Feng Shufen. But to his words like that, Feng Shufen's lips simply twisted on the corners as taking his time he nonchalantly asked, "Third Uncle, my relationship with my wife is my personal thing, which never needed permission from any irrelevant people. Remember I have said that I would never sacrifice myself for the profits of you all."
He said as his eyes faintly turn to look at one direction with some meaning only to turn Zhang Xiaotong's spine stiff for a moment. But Feng Shufen still stood there nonchalantly with his hands tucked in his pockets.
While Feng Da Zhong could only grit his teeth hearing the insult on his face like that. To him, it was already hard to say something to Feng Shufen, and now that he found something to intimidate the boy with, he was still feeling himself at the losing point.
Nope, not this time. He wouldn't let this slide off that easily. He would let him know that not every time his rebellious tactics could win.
Clenching his fists on the side, Feng Da Zhong for once looked back at the crowd of relatives that were on his side before turning again to Feng Shufen to state his decision on behalf of the relatives, "We won't accept this relationship. The marriage certificate is signed without informing the family, so it's clearly invalid." He said, before arrogantly looking away with all esteem he held in his personality.
But right when he thought that his words were enough to shadow the insult he faced, his delusion was all shattered as to support her brother Feng Yi Ran stood up to say with an amiable smile playing over her lips.
"How can you be so absolute in that one decision, Third Uncle?" Feng Yi Ran retorted to ask. "I mean I understand your reason. A marriage can't be considered valid if you keep your family in shadow. But when did Shufen keep his relationship with Li Xue in shadow? We have all known about it from the first day and even in the last meeting he had openly declared his love and support for her. How can you claim it to be invalid after that?"
Feng Da Zhong frowned at her words. He opened his mouth to say something in retaliation but after contemplating his thoughts internally, he closed it up not finding it to be suitable. Then thinking again for a while, he added to say, "Those were just talks. We never thought him to be this serious. Furthermore, he never brought her to meet us. How can we take him to be serious?"
Feng Yi Ran couldn't help but feel like chuckling at that reason. But then downing her head, she suppressed that feeling before looking back in the eyes of her uncle to say all significantly. "Third Uncle, I am sorry I didn't mean to laugh at your words earlier, but however I tried, I couldn't help. After all, knowing my brother from the very start, I have always known that he never jokes around at anything. If he commented, then definitely he must be serious about it. And I am sure not just me but everyone thinks the same about him. Then how come when he previously made the declaration, you didn't take him seriously?"
"Did you overestimate your plans too much that you failed to keep necessary assumptions constant from the start?" Feng Yi Ran said before faintly gazing towards Zhang Xiaotong with some meaning. She was not blind to not see what were the plans of this gathering originally. "And apart from all that misconception, I also want to make one thing clear to you. The basis on which you are forcing their relation to be invalid is itself invalid. Since I, Feng Yi Ran, being a close family have always known about all my brother's actions. I have visited their house and have also approved Li Xue for my brother."
She added to say more and her words came both sweet and sharp, perfectly pushing the pain on the right nerves. It was a nice blow for everyone around but that was not enough for the day as just after she took the stance, Feng Yi Lan also came up to support rightfully.
"Being the young sister of my brother and also a close member of Feng family, I, Feng Yi Lan, has also known it. And have always supported it."
Chen Yujian, who has been witnessing everything all this while, also didn't stand idle. He also came forward with his little support. "I have also known Master Li Xue as my Aunt for a while now and I also find her suitable for my Uncle. In fact, I feel like except her no one could be more suitable for him."
Feng Da Zhong stared at Li Xue. His face grew red while his fingers clenched on the sides. He has truly underestimated her. All this while, he expected her to be a weak woman without any proper family background. But not just the woman didn't turn out to be weak, but she also got the support of the top-notch people of the Feng family. He never expected her to be this capable.
But did she really think that the four supports would be enough for her? The patriarch's decision might rule in the family, but the stand of relatives was also not weak in the family. That's was one of the reasons why until now, Feng Yu Hao was silent. Until the majority doesn't get in the favor of one decision even, he couldn't do anything.
And with him, Feng Da Zhong, around, he would never let anyone reach the consensus.
"With just three people's agreement, we can't accept this relationship. We, the relatives, were kept in the dark about all this, so we won't agree to accept it." Feng Da Zhong said, mimicking the strong stance of Feng Shufen. Tucking his hands inside his pocket, he also stood there looking into his eyes. But he couldn't even sustain the chilliness in his gaze for a minute.
Feng Shufen smirked. "Third Uncle, are you sure that you want to disapprove of this marriage?" He asked and keeping the firmness in his stance, Feng Da Zhong confidently nodded.
"Of course, Feng Da Zhong never know to go back on his words."
Feng Shufen looked at Gao Fan on the side, who in turn added to say, "Mr. Feng, this is an elite marriage law.. You should think once more before disapproving this marriage."
