The calm words carried an extraordinary aura.
They left Ye Yaxin, who had previously despised Lin Pingfan to the extreme, frozen in place.
This...
He...
Was he protecting her?!
She was stunned, utterly dumbfounded. She had always thought of Lin Pingfan as nothing more than a useless, crippled freeloader in the Ye Family. She never expected that, when faced with the overwhelming pressure from Liu Changqing, he could still protect her with such dominance!
At that instant, a glimmer of affection for Lin Pingfan actually sprouted in her heart!
Yet she knew very well how vicious Liu Changqing's nature was. But when Lin Pingfan uttered those fiercely dominant words, she froze. At that moment, he was actually willing to lay down his life for her!
"Lin Pingfan, stop talking garbage over there!"
"Don't think that saying these things will make me and Yaxin moved, and cause us to use the Ye Family's influence to protect you!"
"Let me tell you, Young Master Liu can touch Yaxin's hands however he likes, and Young Master Liu can sleep with Yaxin's body however he pleases!"
Liu Shufen suddenly slammed the table and stood up, her brow furrowed with anger and panic. Lin Pingfan's previous words had once again dragged the Ye Family into this invisibly.
Her outburst caused disappointment to flash in Ye Yaxin's eyes.
"Mom... I am your daughter! How can you say something like that?!" Ye Yaxin widened her eyes, never expecting Liu Shufen to utter such words.
"You shut your mouth!"
Liu Shufen was in a rage and wouldn't listen to anyone; she only wanted to keep the Ye Family from being dragged into this.
The atmosphere plunged back into a dead silence, the hall terrifyingly quiet.
Liu Changqing, who had been gloomy with murder in his eyes, suddenly laughed!
"Hahaha..."
"Your words really leave me speechless!"
Though he was laughing, anyone familiar with him knew that at this moment, his anger had reached its absolute limit.
"You're a real man, taking responsibility for what you've done, instead of kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to beg for mercy like those pieces of trash."
"However, given the gap between you and me right now, let alone my son sleeping with your wife, even if the two of us—father and son—sleep with your wife together, what can you possibly do about it?!"
Liu Changchun licked his lips, a ferocious look in his eyes, and directly grabbed Ye Yaxin standing nearby, forcefully pulling her into his arms as a large hand ripped straight through her top.
"Uncle Liu... what are you doing!"
"You... let go of me right away!"
Ye Yaxin panicked, struggling with all her might, but she was simply no match for Liu Changqing's strength.
Liu Changqing smiled sinisterly, letting out an unbridled laugh as he looked at Liu Shufen: "Do you have any objections?!"
Liu Shufen was already out of her mind; she never expected Liu Changqing to do such a thing. Yet she didn't dare say a single word: "N-no... no objections. For Patriarch Liu to take a fancy to our Yaxin is... is the Ye Family's honor."
Hearing Liu Shufen's words, Liu Changqing sneered and shifted his gaze to Ye Qingguo: "Ye Qingguo, do you have any objections?!"
Intense murderous intent filled Ye Qingguo's eyes right then as he tightly clenched his fists, glaring fiercely at Liu Changqing.
"Liu Changqing, let go of my daughter! Otherwise, even if I have to risk my old life, I'll make you pay with a piece of your flesh!"
Roaring in anger, he abruptly stood up, snatched the fruit knife off the coffee table, and pointed it straight at Liu Changqing.
But the moment he rose, a Liu Family bodyguard behind him slammed him directly onto the coffee table, giving him no chance to struggle or resist!
"Hehe, you said it yourself—risking your old life to make me pay with a piece of flesh."
"Are you qualified to negotiate with me?! If your daughter wasn't somewhat attractive, do you think I'd calmly come to your house to reminisce?!"
A gloomy smile played at the corner of Liu Changqing's mouth. While groping Ye Yaxin's body, he winked at Liu Haotian: "Son, first hack off both hands of this cripple to collect some interest."
Receiving his father's command, Liu Haotian's eyes instantly filled with bloodlust as a bodyguard behind him smoothly handed him a machete.
"Damn cripple, I'm going to torture you good today!"
With a cruel grin, Liu Haotian took the machete and closed in on Lin Pingfan step by step.
Only, he failed to notice that murderous intent was already flashing in Lin Pingfan's eyes.
Just as Liu Haotian stopped two meters away from Lin Pingfan, grinning savagely as he raised the machete to bring it down on him!
With a loud bang, the front door of the Ye Family residence was kicked wide open.
Shangguan Yunyu, dressed in black form-fitting attire, walked into the Ye Family home followed by Kuimulang.
Shangguan Yunyu's face was icy cold, and she glared fiercely at Lin Pingfan with an expression of utter exasperation.
The appearance of Shangguan Yunyu left everyone present dumbfounded!
It was actually the War God!
Liu Changqing, who had been extremely arrogant just moments before, hurriedly tossed Ye Yaxin aside, stood up, and respectfully greeted Shangguan Yunyu: "Commander Shangguan, y-you... why are you here?!"
Gazing at the room full of bodyguards, Shangguan Yunyu's face turned gloomy: "This person cannot be touched."
When Shangguan Yunyu's words fell, everyone was stunned!
No one had expected that Shangguan Yunyu would grace the Ye Family with her presence.
A damn cripple actually had a connection to the War God!
Lin Pingfan frowned slightly, failing to understand why Shangguan Yunyu had suddenly appeared.
The scene was incomparably quiet; not a single person dared to speak.
Shangguan Yunyu walked up beside Lin Pingfan, the look of disgust in her eyes unabated.
"Lin Pingfan, I really hoped you could grow up a bit faster and stop stirring up trouble everywhere."
"Look at the massive trouble you've brought upon the Ye Family ever since you married into it."
"Although I called off our engagement first, I am not a heartless person. Saving you this time will count as my compensation to you."
"From now on, we expect you not to cause any more trouble!"
As Shangguan Yunyu's words rang out, everyone was bewildered.
The War God actually had an engagement with this damn cripple?!
Holy crap!
That was completely absurd!
They were worlds apart with zero intersection, yet they actually had an engagement!
Still, it was just gossip; whether they cared about it or not didn't really matter.
From Shangguan Yunyu's remarks to Lin Pingfan, everyone already understood that the relationship between the two of them was far from solid!
As for Shangguan Yunyu coming here today, she had merely felt guilty over breaking off the engagement and rushed over to repay a favor.
This realization immediately caused the group from the Liu Family to heave a collective sigh of relief!
Having finished those words, Shangguan Yunyu turned her gaze onto Liu Changqing.
"Mr. Liu, I hope you can grant me a small favor and let today's matter rest here. If Lin Pingfan provokes you again in the future, I will no longer interfere."
Listening to Shangguan Yunyu's words, a difficult expression immediately appeared on Liu Changqing's face, and he did not give Shangguan Yunyu an answer right away.
Seeing Liu Changqing hesitate, Kuimulang at the side instantly flashed a fierce and stern look in his eyes: "Liu Changqing, could it be that you won't even grant Commander Shangguan this bit of face?!"
Startled by Kuimulang's angry reprimand, Liu Changqing waved his hands repeatedly, a bitter smile on his face: "It's not that I won't give Commander Shangguan face."
"It's just that... my son's hand has already been crippled by this cripple, Lin Pingfan."
"If it were Commander Shangguan, and your own flesh and blood were harmed this way, you wouldn't just sit by and do nothing either, would you?"
"As a father, seeing my son bullied, I have to seek justice somehow."
"If this matter is just dropped like this, how am I supposed to act as a father at home, and how am I supposed to show my face in Haizhou City?"
