Chapter 117 Self Expulsion from Clan (1/2)

When everyone heard her address Guan Xi Lin as Big Brother, they were all taken aback momentarily. They had never heard that Guan Xi Lin had a sister? Could it be, the lady was from a branch of the Guan Family?

”Miss, you're part of the Guan Family?”

A man standing beside Feng Jiu asked in curiosity, thinking to himself: [If she's really from the Guan Family, when they returned, he would definitely make his father come here to propose for marriage. That would allow them to firm up relations with the Guan Family, and let him carry a beauty back home, there is absolutely nothing to lose!]

”Why do I not remember ever having such a member like you in my Guan Family?” The senior Patriarch asked, staring at Feng Jiu, his old and raspy voice sinking lower.

Feng Jiu blinked her eyes and then said in surprise: ”Don't flatter yourselves so much, when did I ever say I am part of your Guan Family?”

(Translator note from Cloud: Chinese literal translation for above line would say: ”Stop sticking gold onto your faces now, when did I ever say…” you get the point)

”Audacious!”

”Do not bully my little sister!”

The moment the senior Patriarch Guan's voice dropped, Guan Xi Lin upon the stage immediately hollered out right after, his sharp demeanour not losing a single bit to his Grandfather, stunning the entire crowd of people in shock and surprise, where everyone could not react for a moment.

[Has he lost his mind? The senior Patriarch Guan is his biological grandfather and he has actually shouted right back in such complete and utter defiance?]

The senior Patriarch Guan's gave flushed beet red, not known whether it was from embarra.s.sment or rage, and his body trembled. The walking stick he held in his hand then thumped heavily upon the ground as he opened his mouth to admonish: ”Rebelled? All of you have rebelled? One by one you're all rebelling? Does any of the rules still hold at all?”

Guan Xi Lin upon the stage did not back down from the angry glare directed at him. He puffed up his chest and his eyes filled with steely determined as he looked at his grandfather, the gaze seemingly exhibiting his readiness to severe all ties, which drove a bout of panic into the heart of the senior Patriarch Guan who had been overcome with rage.
