"Huh! So you're Mu Shanshan! The daughter of Zhiyuan's sister." Wu Xiuli spoke with a sarcastic tone. She had been wondering who these clueless people were! How familiar they looked. Turns out they're the daughter and son-in-law of He Rongshan, whom the old man keeps mentioning.

Originally, she was somewhat unwilling for Mu Shanshan to return. After all, that would mean less inheritance for them in the future. Especially with the old man constantly mentioning He Rongshan, there's no guarantee he won't soften and do something foolish.

But that's not the point now. Mu Shanshan's husband tormenting her own son is something she disagrees with, so she's the first to oppose Mu Shanshan's return to the He Family.

"Brother, look at this. How can such an uncouth person be allowed into our He Family? We might as well throw them out. As for Shanshan! I suppose it's a case of following one's spouse through thick and thin. We should respect her wishes and let her go!" Wu Xiuli insinuated, essentially meaning to drive Lin Fei away and casually include Mu Shanshan.

"So you're Lin Fei, let go of me! I'm still Mu Shanshan's cousin no matter what." He Zhengyu shouted arrogantly. Now knowing there's this layer of relationship, he immediately felt emboldened. After all, being a member of the He Family, Mu Shanshan ought to support those inside rather than outsiders!

"You have the nerve to call Mu Shanshan your cousin, how thick-skinned! Who was it last night who said they wanted their cousin to accompany them for one night, to play around for a few days, huh? Speak up!" Lin Fei sneered angrily at He Zhengyu, exerting force with his hand—"crack."—a sound, he directly snapped He Zhengyu's wrist.

"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream echoed.

"This is insane, this ignorant boy is totally insane."

"Indeed, he's here to make trouble! Not even leaving an ounce of respect."

"Hey! Enjoy the show! Watch how the He Family handles this, there's plenty to see today."

...

The onlookers were all people of certain status. With this uproar in the He Family today, their influence was enough to make the He Family subjected to speculation and conjecture for some time.

If the He Family doesn't handle this matter well today, they will certainly face blows from political opponents and effects from public opinion.

He Rongxuan only felt a throbbing pain in his head; Mu Shanshan's husband was so adept at causing trouble, truly a giant headache. He even suspected that Mu Hong intentionally found this dim-witted fool to embarrass the He Family.

"Shanshan, listen to me, Lin Fei is just useless trash. Why let him offend your grandpa? This concerns the major issue of Rongshan's rightful recognition!" He Rongxuan spoke, believing he was being sincerely persuasive, not expecting Mu Shanshan to not reconsider.

However, sometimes hope is beautiful while reality is akin to being nailed to the cross like Jesus.

"Brother! The saying about being influenced by one's company fits Lin Fei as arrogant and ignorant. Who knows if Mu Shanshan has changed being with him? Isn't the old man's action going to disturb our He Family?" Wu Xiuli interjected with a cold smile.

Moreover, she called for the guards while speaking, since her son He Zhengyu was still in Lin Fei's hands! Earlier Lin Fei had easily broken He Rongxuan's wrist. Her heart was full of the urge to cripple Lin Fei too and throw him out. If not for the old man's reaction, she would've called her brother to lock up Lin Fei for a few days.

For now, rescuing He Zhengyu was most urgent. She didn't dare approach herself, fearing Lin Fei might go berserk and lash at her too.

"Enough! Lin Fei, release He Zhengyu; we'll leave now and come back to celebrate tonight." Mu Shanshan didn't want things to escalate beyond repair. Moreover, her words left room for herself to return and celebrate when the banquet actually commenced. By then, how to handle their relationship would have eased, no more storming in threats.

"Honey! Really? I'm halfway into wrecking this place, stopping now isn't right!" Lin Fei said, frustrated. In his role as leader of Hell's Judgement, hadn't he seen major scenes, this small coercion was nothing. If Mu Shanshan remained unswayed, he was totally fine, believing that with a little more provocation, the old man He wouldn't want to appear, but he would have to.

"Lin Fei, listen to me." Mu Shanshan said sternly, knowing well what Lin Fei intended. Though moved by Lin Fei's defiance against the formidable He Family for her, such reasons weren't enough. After so many trials, she was emotionally exhausted, just wishing their relationship wouldn't be too strained, as it wasn't good for anyone.

Being the Mu Group's president, her approach to matters naturally differed from Lin Fei's.

"Hmph! Lin Fei, right? Thinking of leaving, first you must see if I agree." He Zhengyu suddenly chimed in, his mother's summoned guards arrived, giving him a sense of backing. Thus, after listening to Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei's dialogue, aware they intended to leave, his proud nature wasn't willing to yield.

"You, hurry up; see how this man intends violence!" Wu Xiuli called out to the approaching guards, wanting to teach Lin Fei a lesson, to show him how to behave.

"Honey, you see, they don't want us to leave." Lin Fei said with a disdainful sneer to Mu Shanshan helplessly.

"I know you're capable, but this is the He Family, don't go overboard." Mu Shanshan said, looking at the aggressive guards, yet she refrained from turning away immediately. She was also fed up with Wu Xiuli and He Zhengyu's persistence.

"Hehe! Rest assured, honey. Playing around isn't illegal." Joking as he tossed He Zhengyu aside, Lin Fei flipped him over, heading straight toward the guards.

He Rongxuan remained silent; having several guards teach Lin Fei a lesson might be good, making Lin Fei learn a lesson. Of course, he aimed to keep Mu Shanshan, as for Wu Xiuli's thoughts, he understood clearly. However, this was the old man's wish; having more cunning was futile. Thinking of this, He Rongxuan glanced at Wu Xiuli with a cold smile.

Wu Xiuli was unaware of He Rongxuan's thoughts, hurriedly took small steps forward, supporting He Zhengyu. Quickly dragging him backward to examine the injuries.

"What a ruthless heart!" Seeing He Zhengyu's distressed state, Wu Xiuli burst into rage, glaring at Lin Fei in the distance, wishing she could directly claw at him.

"Guys, this has nothing to do with you. Go back to your business!" Lin Fei calmly said to the guards.

The guards ignored him, advancing and surrounding him.

"Why bother!" Lin Fei said with a bit of a sorrowful tone.

...

The next moment, silence fell on the scene, as if everyone felt their throat was gripped, shocked by the scene before them.
