Chapter 1158
At this moment, an elegant middle- aged man about 45 to 46 years old who was sitting on the left of
the main seat in the hall coughed softly and asked, "Momo, why don''t you introduce the friend you
brought back home to us?"
Hearing this, Momo came back to her senses abruptly and nodded to the man, "Yes, Dad. I''ll
introduce him to you guys right away."
The man who spoke was Ernest Soo, Momo''s father. He was also the second son of Egbert, the old
master of the Soo family.
Momo''s gaze swept over the people in the living hall.
Among them, there was a middle-aged man in his fifties sitting on the main seat. The man looked
somewhat alike to Ernest, but his expression was way more serious. Compared to Ernest''s calm
demeanor, he could be said to be more majestic.
That man was Ernest''s eldest brother and Egbert''s eldest son, Somoset Soo. Although Egbert was
still the head of the Soo family, he was old and did not have much strength to manage many affairs
in the family. Therefore, he basically left everything to Somoset.
Hence, it could be said that Somoset was now the head of the Soo family in managing family affairs.
Therefore, he was sitting on the main seat at this moment.
A middle-aged woman about 41 to 42 years old was sitting on to the right of Somoset''s seat. She
had short hair and a straight face, which gave people a sense of hostility.
Fade felt that she looked familiar. That woman was L Soo, Momo''s aunt and Egbert''s youngest
daughter, who he had met back in Bay City before.
Due to the incident that happened in Bay Cityst time, it was obvious that L had no good
expressions of Fade. When she saw Fade''s gaze at her, she gave a cold snort, looking very
displeased.
The people in the other seats were all rtives of the Soo family. However, they were not the direct
descendants of the family, so Fade didn''t bother to try to know all of them.
At this moment, after looking around, Momo took a deep breath, then looked at Somoset, who was
sitting in the main seat, and introduced, "This is Fade, my boy..."
Momo wanted to say that Fade was her boyfriend.
Right then, Ernest interrupted her, "I know Fade. Momo, he''s your friend! You mentioned him to me
before and told me that he is a nice young man."
"Dad, this..." Memo''s expression was a bit stunned, surprised at his interruption.
Ernest winked at Momo and worded something. He did not make a sound, but Momo and Fade
both understood his meaning. "Don''t rush!" He mouthed to them.
Momo understood what Ernest meant. He wanted Momo to announce their rtionship gradually
after Fade was acquainted with everyone instead of announcing his identity as her boyfriend right
from the beginning. This would also help to facilitate the problem of her arranged marriageter on.
Therefore, Momo re- introduced Fade to them, "Fade is a good friend of mine. I invited him to our
house as a guest this time. I hope that..."
Before Momo could finish speaking, she was interrupted again.
However, it was not Ernest who interrupted this time, but Yuki who walked in.
Yuki asked in a taunting manner, "Momo, didn''t you say that Fade was your boyfriend when we
were outside just now? Why don''t you admit it now?"
"Woah!"
Hearing the word "boyfriend", there was an uproar at the scene as all the Soo family members
erupted into heated discussion.
As of then, Yuki continued to add oil to the fire by saying, "By the way, Momo''s boyfriend also just
said that he will definitely not let Momo and Master Yao''s engagement take effect. He wants to be
with Momo forever!"
Suddenly, the uproar in the scene became more obvious.
Somoset, who was sitting on the main seat, yelled sternly at Momo with a serious and ghastly
expression, "Momo, exin yourself. What''s going on?"
Momo was a little panicked at this time and didn''t know what to do for a while. She stammered, "F-f-
f-Fa.. Fade is my..."
Upon seeing this, Ernest stood up to smooth things over for Momo, "Somoset, Momo just came
back and she''s a little tired. Let''s talk about it again after she and her friend have rested up!"
However, just after Ernest finished speaking, L got up immediately and said, "Ernest, Fade is not
an ordinary friend of hers! When I went to Bay Cityst time, he and Momo were very close! He
even imed himself to be Momo''s boyfriend."

"Somoset and Grandpa have already arranged the marriage between Momo and Hector. Apart from
that, everyone in South Bay City already knows about it."
"If the rumor of Momo having another boyfriend spreads out, I think you clearly know what kind of
impact we will be facing too, right, Ernest?"
"I..." Ernest didn''t know how to exin things to them.
When L saw this, she snorted softly and said, "This matter is very important, so it''s best to let
Momo rify it. Besides, it won''t take much time for her to exin herself."
When Somoset on the main seat heard this, he nodded and agreed, "What L said makes sense.
Ernest, let Momo exin herself."
At this time, Ernest was in a dilemma. His expression changed. Finally, he looked at Momo and
raised the corners of his mouth a little, revealing an encouraging smile.
Obviously, Ernest still chose to support Momo and wanted her to make a choice ording to her
own will.
Tears welled up Memo''s eyes when she saw this.
After that, her gaze became very firm instantly. She nced at everyone on the scene and
announced loudly, "If that is the case, then I will introduce him to all of you once again." "This is
Fade Chen, my, Momo Soo''s, boyfriend." "Oh my god!" Everyone was baffled to hear this and
eximed loudly.
Somoset''s expression grew even frostier. He pped the armrest of the seat and rebuked Momo
sternly, "Momo, do you know what you are talking about? You are engaged to Hector, so how can
you...."
At this time, Momo decided topletely risk it all. She interrupted Somoset and said, "You were
the one who arranged the marriage between me and Hector without my consent. I never agreed to
it."
"I have someone I like, and I want to decide on my own marriage by myself. Therefore, I choose to
be with Fade."
Her loud voice echoed in the hall, sounding a bit shocking to the honorable and traditional family
like the Soo family.
Somoset was even more enraged and shot up from his seat. He stared at Momo ferociously, his
face looking extremely gloomy as he rebuked, "Nonsense! How can you treat your parents'' orders
and your arranged marriage like child''s y?"
"The parents of both families have arranged your marriage with Hector. You have no other choice
but to ept the marriage."
Momo flushed with anger when she heard his words. She shot back, "It''s the 21st century now.
We''re not living in a feudal society. I want to fall in love freely and I don''t want to sacrifice my
marriage to be your business tool."
"How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about!" Somoset was furious. He stared at Momo
ferociously and shouted at her harshly.
