His words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
No one could have imagined that Park Cheon would arrange a marriage between his future heir and the Kim family!
Kim Jip, who had returned from the Korean Special Forces!
However, as long as a thoughtful person thought about it carefully, they would realize that the older, the wiser!
Park Cheon's marriage alliance was the most logical thing in the world!
Although the Kim family was neither a wealthy family nor a high-ranking political family, it was still a family that no one dared to underestimate.
It was said that the Kim family's ancestors were criminal officials during the Goguryeo era. Generations of their family had been engaged in legal work. The Kim family's law firm spanned the world and provided legal counsel to many large Korean enterprises.
For a family with such a long history, their biggest backer was none other than the connections and relationships that had been accumulated through generations of business!
The Kim family did not provoke anyone but instead helped the other major families. How could they not be pleased? How could the crowd not give them face?
Moreover, the Kim family had never been involved in business or politics for generations. Kim Jip, for example, had served in the military for a few years in the Special Forces before giving up the opportunity to become an officer. When he returned home, he chose to be a bodyguard instead of a lawyer. He would never engage in any other professions that involved conflicts of interest.
Now that the Park family had chosen Xu Zhenxiu as their heir, their biggest concern was whether she would be swallowed up by the man after she got married and had children.
It wouldn't be suitable to look for any of the big families. Only a family like the Kim family, which has been reliable for generations and has a good relationship with the Park family, would be the most reassuring.
Moreover, Kim Jip was a quiet but good-looking young man. Park Cheon had watched him grow up. His character was impeccable and he was indeed a good match for Zhenxiu.
As for whether there was a relationship between the man and the woman, most of the people present would not consider such a factor.
Relationships between men and women were a joke in this materialistic upper-class society.
When the crowd realized this, they could not help but look at the young man who had been standing silently at the back of the stage …
Kim Jip's expression was as cold as ever. He was dressed in a white shirt and was holding three metal balls in his hand. No one could tell what was on his mind.
Below the stage, the Gong father and son's faces were as black as charcoal. Gong Gyechung snorted in anger and turned to leave the hall. Gong Woo followed suit.
Some people noticed this scene, but they didn't look too much. Instead, they mocked him in their hearts.
On the stage, Zhenxiu's pretty face was flushed red. Everyone thought that the girl was shy, but Zhenxiu was just angry and sullen.
Zhenxiu didn't dislike that Kim Jip, but she had never spoken to him, so why did she suddenly want to establish a marriage contract with him!?
No matter how displeased Zhenxiu was, she could not afford to argue with Park Cheon in front of so many people. She could only bite her lower lip and frown.
After listening to Yang Cheng's translation, Lin Ruoxi was also surprised.
"How can this be? This is too arbitrary!" Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but grumble.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "Isn't that how big families are? The interests of the entire family come first. Choosing Kim Jip for Zhenxiu is better than choosing Gong Woo."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at the man. "You make it sound so easy, but you must be feeling terrible inside."
"What's wrong with me? What does this have to do with me?" Yang Cheng feigned nonchalance.
Lin Ruoxi was obviously skeptical. "Come on, I can tell. You look like you've eaten a dead cockroach. You're feeling terrible inside."
Yang Cheng said righteously, "Dear, you can't think of me as such a dirty person … Although I'm dirty, Zhenxiu is like a little sister to me …"
"Did I say that you have improper thoughts about Zhenxiu? You said it yourself. "Lin Ruoxi glared at him coldly.
Yang Cheng froze. He clicked his tongue and shrugged his shoulders bitterly, "So you were trying to trick me …"
Lin Ruoxi's expression suddenly turned serious. She coldly widened her eyes and said, "If you dare to not even let Zhenxiu go, I will … I will …"
She wanted to say something, but Lin Ruoxi just couldn't think of what to say. Divorce? Ignore him? Even he doubted whether he could do it.
Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he reached out and hugged the woman, "Alright, alright, don't swear anymore. It's impossible for me and Zhenxiu to be together. She bickered with me all day and even competed with me. Does she look like she likes me?"
Lin Ruoxi thought to herself, It's because Zhenxiu treats you like this that I feel uneasy.
However, he wouldn't say these words out loud. He could only sigh silently.
Involuntarily, Lin Ruoxi wished she could leave Korea as soon as possible.
After the banquet, they finally returned to the Park family after socializing with the major families, celebrities, and politicians.
Along the way, Zhenxiu tried everything she could to get Park Cheon to rescind the marriage. She threw a tantrum but Park Cheon refused to budge. He didn't have the slightest hint of his usual obedience.
Although it was only a verbal engagement and there wasn't a specific date for the marriage, it was like a boulder weighing down on Zhenxiu's heart. She couldn't even breathe properly.
As soon as they arrived at the Central Hall of the Park family's mansion, Zhenxiu immediately ran to Yang Cheng and grabbed his hand, begging, "Brother Yang, please help me persuade Grandpa! Grandpa listens to you very much! "
Yang Cheng looked at Park Cheon awkwardly. "I say, girl, I'm an outsider and I can't interfere. Besides, Kim Jip is a very honest young man. Don't hurt him like that."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng glanced at Kim Jip who had been silent all this while.
As usual, Kim Jip was by Park Cheon's side. Sometimes, people would think that his facial nerves were dead.
Zhenxiu pouted angrily and said to Kim Jip, "Hey, Kim Jip! Say something! I haven't even spoken to you. Do you think we can get married?! Don't act like you didn't hear anything! "
Park Cheon frowned. "Zhenxiu, how can you speak to Kim Jip so rudely? He's your fiancé!"
Kim Jip was still expressionless. He couldn't even be bothered to respond to Zhenxiu.
Zhenxiu stomped her feet in anger and shook her fists. "You're all bullying me! I don't care about you! "
Having said that, she quickly ran upstairs, kicking her high heels far away and almost hitting a few servants.
Maid Eunjung looked at the crowd with a complicated expression and followed her upstairs. After all, she had to take care of Zhenxiu.
Kim Jip silently looked upstairs with an indescribable look in his eyes.
"Mr. Yang, Miss Lin, please excuse me. Although Zhenxiu is well-behaved, she still can't accept this kind of thing." Park Cheon shook his head helplessly.
"President, there's no need to be so anxious. Zhenxiu isn't even twenty yet." Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but chime in. She hated arranged marriages.
Park Cheon didn't take it to heart. "For rich families like ours, it's only beneficial if the heir can settle down and settle down as soon as possible. After all, the heir can spend more time studying and working. If it's delayed, the heart will become restless."
"But if Zhenxiu doesn't like Kim Jip, wouldn't that be harming Zhenxiu and Kim Jip?" Lin Ruoxi said.
Park Cheon looked at Kim Jip and asked with a smile, "Kim Jip, do you like Zhenxiu?"
Kim Jip didn't answer. "I'll follow your orders, President."
Park Cheon seemed to have expected this answer. He smiled. "My child, your father may be old-fashioned but he's not as old-fashioned as you."
Park Cheon turned to Yang Cheng. "Mr. Yang, do you remember when you helped me find a heart for transplant? The other party was someone from the North Buyeo who disguised himself as Kim Jip?"
Yang Cheng nodded in surprise. "What's wrong?"
"In fact, they didn't just want to frame us. It's also a very clever move. Kim Jip is Lawyer Kim's only son. Lawyer Kim has a lot of important information about the Starmoon Group and our family.
If outsiders get their hands on these things, it's very likely that they'll restrict the Park family. They probably want to use this opportunity to make our family lose trust in the Kim family and at the same time, arrest Kim Jip. "That way, the North Buyeo can use their official power to pull the Kim family to their side.
Lawyer Kim only has one son, Kim Jip, and I've watched him grow up. To our family, Kim Jip is not only my favorite junior, but also an indispensable part of our family.
That's why I'm really grateful. Thanks to Mr. Yang, Kim Jip and the Kim family, especially our Park family, didn't suffer a disaster … "
At this point, Park Cheon bowed solemnly. Kim Jip, who was standing beside him, also lowered his head.
Yang Cheng didn't expect there to be so many tricks up his sleeve.
In fact, Park Cheon didn't mention that Lawyer Kim still had some evidence of his children's corruption. These things would be handed over to Zhenxiu in the future. As long as Zhenxiu had the evidence, Park Jiyeon and the other elders wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Park Cheon had already arranged everything. As long as the Kim family became in-laws, Zhenxiu would be able to sit on the sidelines.
Everyone chatted in the living room for a while. Park Cheon didn't plan to rest early like usual.
Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. Park Cheon suddenly ordered a servant to go upstairs and call Zhenxiu down.
"President, Zhenxiu should be asleep by now. It's already so late." Lin Ruoxi was surprised by Park Cheon's actions.
Park Cheon smiled amiably. "She won't. Although she's angry at me, she won't slack when it comes to official business. This is a valuable quality of hers. I've made an appointment with her to officially complete the handover at midnight tonight. "
Official handover? Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi exchanged glances. They couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
