When Has Xiao Fan Ever Suffered Such Humiliation

"Wanqing~ what exactly did I do wrong?"

Xiao Fan stood where he was, shouting sorrowfully at Gu Wanqing as if he had suffered a grave injustice.

"Is it because of Lin Ao? Did he say something to you? Haven't I told you before? Lin Ao is not a good person, and he doesn't love you. He only cares about money, status, and profit. He doesn't have you in his eyes at all; he's only marrying you to exploit the Gu Family!"

Xiao Fan rattled off a string of insults about Lin Ao as if he had witnessed them firsthand, his face gradually twisting with anger.

"Did he threaten you? That despicable Lin Ao! What a villain! Wanqing, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side and protect you. I have another identity, I can..."

As Xiao Fan continued to speak in a self-absorbed, indignant manner, he was coldly interrupted by Gu Wanqing.

"Enough! I don't care what identity you have; I have absolutely no interest. This has nothing to do with Brother Lin Ao; everything is my own decision. He is not as filthy as you are.

Now that it's come to this, I hope you won't pester me again. I don't want to see you in front of me ever again."

"Uncle Gu, let's go."

After saying this, Gu Wanqing sat back in the car, not even lifting her eyes as she passed by Xiao Fan.

She felt regret in her heart, regretting that she shouldn't have been so hasty; Xiao Fan had now focused his attention entirely on Lin Ao!

"Uncle Gu! During this time, please go and protect Brother Lin Ao well. You don't need to worry about me."

Fearing that something might happen to Lin Ao, she hurriedly asked Uncle Gu, who was a Grandmaster, to protect him.

"Hehe~ Miss, Uncle Gu is very happy that you fired that Xiao Fan today. I've long felt he wasn't a good person; Young Master Lin is far better than him. Besides, do you think the Lin Family lacks what our Gu Family has?"

Uncle Gu felt gratified; if it weren't for the fact that the young miss had always trusted Xiao Fan, he would have wanted to go up and give him a couple of punches long ago.

This person gave off a feeling of being both hypocritical and arrogant, and his years of experience in reading people were never wrong.

"Sigh~ I was muddled. Let's head back, Uncle Gu."

Uncle Gu was right; what the Gu Family had, would the Lin Family, as the number one family in Jianghai, not have? The things the Lin Family possessed would only be more, not less.

As Gu Wanqing left, Xiao Fan stood blankly in place, his veins bulging and his face flushed red.

"Gu Wanqing! Lin Ao! How could I, Xiao Fan, ever suffer such humiliation? One day, I will pay it back a thousandfold!"

His expression was ferocious, his teeth gritted.

"A mere woman! To dare insult our Dragon Gate Sect Master like this! Do you need me to help you get rid of her?"

At this moment, a person emerged from behind a pillar in the parking lot. He had a buzz cut, a face like a monkey, and a sinister look in his eyes.

"Monkey! I've told you many times, you cannot act rashly in this country! Leave that woman for now. Besides, she is followed by a Grandmaster; I am no match for him, let alone you.

I will handle this matter myself. I want to prove personally that I, Xiao Fan, am not someone to be trifled with! Leave Gu Wanqing alone for now, but Lin Ao..."

A trace of gloom flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.

Lin Ao, just wait for your death!

At this moment, Lin Ao had no idea that Gu Wanqing had already taken the first step in helping him distance himself from the protagonist group, successfully drawing Xiao Fan's attention onto himself.

If he had known, he would definitely have jumped up and cursed, "Big breasts but no brains indeed!!!"

He was currently looking at his parents with a resentful expression.

It wasn't until lunchtime that he was woken up and had his bindings removed.

"Son~ how about we just don't get engaged?"

When Lin Ao heard Li Wanyu say this, his eyes lit up instantly; there was a turning point.

Could it be that his mother saw how wild Gu Wanqing was today and decided she was an unrefined girl, unworthy of marrying into their Lin Family, and thus decided to help him call off the engagement?

Lin Ao nodded repeatedly to express his certainty and affirmation.

Seeing this, Li Wanyu was overjoyed; was her son just as eager?

"You think so too?"

"Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm!"

"Good~ then we won't get engaged~"

"Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm!"

"We'll get married directly! By next year, I'll be able to hold my big, chubby grandson! Hahahaha!"

Li Wanyu seemed to already see her chubby grandson babbling in her arms, her face full of joy.

Lin Ao froze on the spot.

"Wait... isn't it... calling off the engagement?"

He muttered softly under his breath.

Hearing this, Li Wanyu's movements paused, and Lin Dong raised his lowered eyes, which were flashing with a red light.

"What did you just say?"

Li Wanyu looked at Lin Ao with a kind expression.

Lin Dong had already headed upstairs to grab his belt.

"Huh? What did I just say?"

Lin Dong didn't realize he had just spoken his inner thoughts aloud.

This was the first time Li Wanyu had ever been this angry.

She grabbed Lin Ao by the ear and hoisted him up into the air.

"You little brat, you start acting up the moment you aren't disciplined for a single day! Did you just say you wanted to call off the engagement? Old Lin!!!!"

"Coming!!"

Li Wanyu was absolutely furious. After her shout, Lin Dong nimbly descended from the second floor and skillfully used the belt to tie Lin Ao up once again!

Then, he hoisted Lin Ao up to the ceiling—seriously, where did that hook even come from?

He looked like a silkworm cocoon hanging from a tree.

"Mom! Dad! What are you doing?"

Lin Ao was truly terrified now. What kind of madness had taken hold of his parents? He had never experienced a spectacle like this in his entire life!

And seriously, how did you even hang me up there?

"What are we doing? Tell me, did you or did you not just say the words 'call off the engagement'?"

Li Wanyu was beside herself with rage, while Old Lin stood by, snapping the belt against his palm with a rhythmic "pop-pop."

"You little punk, let me tell you, if you even have the slightest thought of calling off this engagement, I'll beat you to death! Wanqing is such a good girl, and you two were like that today! How dare you talk about calling off the engagement? Not a chance!"

Li Wanyu continued her verbal assault, while Old Lin stood by like a cowboy, brandishing the belt to cheer her on.

Lin Ao was having a mental breakdown. What were we "like" today? Was it the fact that she soaked my clothes in tears and snot? Speaking of which, I haven't even had a chance to change yet! Or was it that she forced a kiss on me and even used her tongue? That part was actually kind of exciting.

"Mom! I didn't! You misheard me~ I didn't mean that at all. I said 'postpone' the wedding, you both misheard! It was postpone, ahhhhhhh!"

Lin Ao didn't dare provoke his parents any further and quickly begged for mercy. He would have to come up with a new plan later; otherwise, the belt currently hovering near his face was going to strike!

A gust of wind blew by.

Lin Ao found himself sitting back at the dining table.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Li Wanyu rested her chin in her hands with a benevolent expression, humming a tune while daydreaming about her future chubby grandson.

Old Lin sat with his legs crossed, head bowed as he read the newspaper.

Lin Ao sat blankly in his chair, left in a state of disarray by the cold wind.

"6!"

Gu Wanqing lay on her bed resting, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her lips.

"Lin Ao! Just you wait, I'm coming to find you tomorrow!"

She seemed to have thought of something that excited her.

She was chuckling strangely.

A trail of glistening drool leaked from the corner of her mouth.
