Chapter 117: Severing Kinship Ties

Seeing Lee Minho put down the wine glass, Kang Taehyun and the others stood on the other side and chatted.

"Strange, it's almost time. Why hasn't the banquet started yet?"

Kang Taehyun looked at the watch in his hand.

Yoon Jungsu said angrily.

"Okay, don't touch your watch. We all know that your watch is newly bought. If you are not tired of it, well we do."

Seo Inguk echoed.

"That's right, if you want to play, let us borrow Young Master Lee's Lightning King later."

Kang Taehyun immediately covered the car keys in his pocket, and exaggerated.

"That's not okay, the car was lent to me by Young Master Lee. If there is a piece of paint missing, even if I can't afford it."

"You can't say that, with your small body, it's still worth a tire of Young Master Lee's car."

Yoon Jungsu joked.

Seo Inguk, who was eating dessert, nodded and agreed with Yoon Jungsu's words.

"Only worth one tire? Let me tell you, I am worth at least two."

Kang Taehyun stretched out two fingers.

Yoon Jungsu said with a smile.

"Including all my net worth, I think I can be worth four tires."

Several people were talking and laughing.

Suddenly, a handsome man in his thirties, wearing a black suit, walked over with a beautiful female companion on his arm.

After hearing what they said, the man looked at Yoon Jungsu with contempt.

"Hey, Jungsu."

Seeing the person coming, Yoon Jungsu frowned.

"Brother, sister-in-law..."

The man is Yoon Jungsu's elder brother Yoon Jingmo, and the female companion next to him is his fiancee Gan Anya.

Gan Anya is the only daughter of the Gan family, marrying Gan Anya is equivalent to getting the entire Gan family.

The Gan family is part of the upper circle in Kyoto worth more than 30 billion dollars.

In the circle of Kyoto, it can be regarded as a well-known family.

At least it is much better than the Yoon family.

"Others said that you became that Lee Minho's dog. I didn't believe it at first but I didn't expect it to be true."

Yoon Jungsu said sadly.

"Perhaps you could tone down the flattery a bit, don't you think? I worry you might embarrass our Yoon family."

"I'm embarrassing our Yoon family?"

Yoon Jungsu sneered, he didn't expect Yoon Jingmo to come and say these words to him.

"At the very least, I didn't let the family's car dealership lose hundreds of millions of dollars."

Yoon Jungsu added on.

"I didn't go out to fool around chasing women and being beaten in the street, am I right?"

Yoon Jingmo did not expect that Yoon Jungsu would directly expose his faults in front of Kang Taehyun and the others.

Suddenly his face became gloomy.

"Jungso, what did you say?"

Gan Anya on the side also felt a little embarrassed.

Although what Yoon Jungsu said was true. She was the one who chased Kang Taehyun in the street.

But men, there is no one who doesn't steal.

As long as it can be changed in the future. So after Gan Anya beat Yoon Jingmo, she didn't pursue it anymore.

After all, Yoon Jingmo looks handsome, which is in line with Gan Anya's aesthetics.

In addition, the two had been engaged in marriage since they were young.

That's why Gan Anya had always been looking forward to marrying into the Yoon family.

Now, if Yoon Jungsu exposed Yoon Jingmo's shortcomings in front of others, it was tantamount to exposing her shortcomings.

This made Gan Anya feel too ashamed and a little angry.

"Jungsu, how can you talk to your elder brother like this. Your elder brother said you for your own good."

She then continued.

"What kind of thing is that Lee Minho thought you? What you do will only drag down our Yoon family."

"Our Yoon family?"

Yoon Jungsu seemed to have heard some big joke.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't married into our Yoon family yet. You can't already wait to treat yourself as a Yoon family member? I advise you to be more cautious."

"You... Yoon Jungsu, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Gan Anya pointed at Yoon Jungsu, her chest is full with anger at his words.

As the only daughter of the Gan family, Gan Anya was spoiled and pampered since she was a child, and no one has ever dared to talk to her like that.

But Yoon Jungsu was also angry.

"Let's not talk about it, you are not my sister-in-law. Even if you marry my elder brother, you can't control me."

He then continued.

"I advise you to quickly put away your hypocrisy and affectations. I'm not interested in your affairs, and I don't want to pay attention to them."

Gan Anya didn't expect Yoon Jungsu's attitude to be so tough.

Immediately, she threw herself into Yoon Jingmo's arms with tears in her eyes, and cried.

"Husband, look at your good brother. He actually scolded us for hypocrisy."

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll teach him a lesson,"

Yoon Jingmo comforted and patted Gan Anya on the back.

At this time, Yoon Jinchang, their father, happened to see them arguing, and came over.

"What's going on, what are you two arguing about on this occasion?"

"Dad, take care of your good son. He not only scolded me, but also scolded Anya and made her cry."

Yoon Jingmo filed the complaint first, and Gan Anya, who was in his arms, immediately raised her head cooperatively.

With tears in her eyes, and said pitifully to Yoon Jichang.

"Uncle, I didn't expect Jungsu to hate me so much. He not only insulted me, but also his brother."

She then continued in tears.

"He also said that I may not be able to marry into the Yoon family? Is it because I haven't done well enough?"

"What!?"

When Yoon Jinchang heard that and saw Gan Anya's appearance, he immediately became furious.

He directly slapped Yoon Jungsu backhanded.

Snap!

The sound is crisp and loud.

Yoon Jungsu's face was directly distorted by this slap, and the slap marks on his face were clearly visible.

A trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

It is enough to see how hard Yoon Jichang slapped were.

"Bastard, you rebellious son, don't you have any morals? How dare you scold your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Yoon Jichang the said in a louder voice.

"Do you think I'm not here? Do you think I can't kicked you out of Yoon's house?"

Kang Taehyun and others did not expect that Yoon Jichang would indiscriminately slap Yoon Jungsu directly.

"Uncle, it's not what you think it is...."

Kang Taehyun and the others wanted to step forward to explain.

Even Seo Inguk rarely put down the dessert in his hand, wanting to explain what just happened.

However, Yoon Jungsu stretched out his hand to stop them.

Yoon Jungsu turned his head and looked at Yoon Jichang without any warmth in his eyes.

"Alright!"

"What?"

Yoon Jinchang was slightly taken aback.

Yoon Jungsu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly.

"Aren't you going to drive me out of Yoon's house? Well, do you think I want to stay their either?"

He then continued.

"In your heart. I'm afraid that even you don't believe in me and. I can't even compare to a single strand of the hair of my brother, right?"

In the past, Yoon Jungsu still had his expectations for his father in front of him.

But that sliver of hope was directly shattered by the slap just now.

"Ha! So that's the reason."

Yoon Jinchang didn't expect that Yoon Jungsu would say those even disgracing him as a father.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I will fulfill your wish."

Yoon Jinchang was also mad with anger, and clapped his hands directly, when the eyes of the people around him were all staring at him.

Announced loudly.

"Now, I, Yoon Jinchang, am here, in front of everyone, to announce something. From this moment on, I, Yoon Jichang will severe my kinship to Yoon Jungsu my son."

His voice was gradually getting louder.

"He was no longer a member of our Yoon family. Whether he live or die in the future has nothing to do with our Yoon family."

As soon as Yoon Jinchang said this, the people around were in an uproar.

Lee Minho just finished solving his personal physical problems, walked out of the comfort room's door, and saw a person leaning against the wall.

Seeing Lee Minho coming out, the man raised his head to look at Lee Minho.

"Fang Jun?"

That's right, the person at the door of the bathroom is Fang Jun.

Half of Fang Jun's bangs on his forehead covered one of his eyes, making him look slightly gloomy.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Lee Minho asked.

"Nonsense."

Fang Jun snorted coldly.

"If you're looking for me, then tell me what's the matter?"

Others were afraid of Fang Jun, but Lee Minho was not.

Compared with those who always like to beat around the bush, Lee Minho feels that Fang Jun is more comfortable getting along with.

It's because Fang Jun is a direct and decisive person.

Fang Jun sneered.

"Don't you want to know who ordered that Lu Min her to approach you?"

"I'm in no mood."

Fang Jun's smile froze on his lips.

Lee Minho shrugged

"It doesn't matter who asked her to come. I'm not interested in her."

"Oh, it seems that you already know."

Fang Jun thought that Lee Minho already knew that Lu Min's purpose, so he treated her like that just now.

"Then do you know that Yoon Jungsu under your command is about to be kicked out of the Yoon family?"

"What?"

Lee Minho was taken aback, he really didn't know about this.

Seeing Lee Minho's reaction, Fang Jun was happy.

With an attitude of watching a drama, he showed a sinister smile.

"Just now, when you left, the Patriarch of the Yoon family announced in front of everyone that he and Yoon Jungsu was no longer father and son."

Fang Jun then said playfully.

"Don't you want to know the reason? It's precisely because Yoon Jungsu took refuge in you."

Lee Minho was startled hearing this.

'What the hell?'

He just went to the restroom, only a few minutes and such a big thing happened?

Lee Minho immediately turned sullen and walked back to the hall.

Fang Jun stood behind him, smiling very happily.

"There is a good show to watch."

In the banquet hall.

The Patriarch of the Qin family was waiting anxiously, but in the end, he learned from Qin Guokang that the distinguished guest from overseas have some accident.

Because of that, the distinguished guest from overseas will not be able to attend the banquet.

This surprised Mr. Qin.

After asking, he found out that he was hit by an out-of-control car on the way here.

Although not life-threatening, he was injured. He really can't move around for the time being.

When he heard the news, Mr. Qin could only sigh.

In fact, half of today's birthday banquet is for that person.

But even if that person can't come, the birthday banquet still has to go on normally.

It's just that just when the Patriarch of the Qin family stood up and was about to announce the start of the banquet, another accident happened.

For some reason, Yoon Jungsu and his father, Yoon Jinchang suddenly quarreled.

Immediately afterwards, Yoon Jinchang slapped Yoon Jungsu angrily.

Then he publicly announced that he would severe his kinship ties with his son, Yoon Jungsu.

The Yoon family in the Kyoto circle can only be regarded as a third-rate family.

But after announcing their marriage with the Gan family, they also officially entered the ranks.

This time Yoon Jinchang actually announced his separation from Yoon Jungsu at the banquet.

That's tantamount to being serious.

People around were discussing, guessing what Yoon Jungsu had done to make Yoon Jinchang so angry.

He even said the words of severing kinship ties with his son.

As the host of this banquet, Mr. Qin will of course need to stand up for such a big incident.

"Mr. Yoon, if the child makes a mistake, he should be punished and educated at home. There is no need to say such harsh words in public."

Facing Mr. Qin, even though Yoon Jinchang was angry, his attitude was still very respectful.

"Old Mr. Qin, you don't need to worry about this matter. A heartless evil like him who doesn't know how to respect his brother and sister-in-law deserves it."

Yoon Jinchang continued.

"He's a shame to our Yoon family. Today I have made a decision. We must severe our relationship with this rebellious man."

Yoon Jinchang was indeed angry that Yoon Jungsu contradicted him, but what made him even more angry was that Yoon Jungsu scolded Gan Anya.

Gan Anya is the only daughter of the Gan family.

Their Yoon family still needs to rely on the Gan family through Gan Anya and the marriage.

Once the Gan family attacks their Yoon family, how can their Yoon family stand up to it.

Besides, Yoon Jinchang has already decided that the company will be inherited by Yoon Jingmo in the future.

If Yoon Jungsu just stayed obedient, maybe he can give him some money.

If he is disobedient, he should be sent out early, and he must not be allowed to affect the marriage between the Yoon family and the Gan family.

Now that Yoon Jungsu insulted Gan Anya, it meant that he had a signal to put Yoon Jungsu in another way, against him.

'This son of mine has big ambitions, if I can't control it, it's better to just cut it off.'
