How can there be such shameless people! Ma Yan'er was both ashamed and angry, her delicate face turning shades of red and purple with her mixed emotions, yet she couldn't explode right there.
On the other hand, Ma Han was even more embarrassed. Mu Shanshan walked right past him, not even acknowledging his presence.
After Lin Fei said, "You forget the pain once the scar heals, right!" Ma Han didn't dare utter a word. He had witnessed what happened to He Zhengyu earlier in the day, and Lin Fei seemed to him like someone who feared nothing. The timid fear the bold, and the bold fear the reckless. Ma Han didn't want to be the reckless one.
For a moment, neither of them moved, allowing Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan to pass by without interruption. After this, no one else bothered Mu Shanshan anymore.
The grand hall of the He Family's townhouse was bustling and lively, filled with people exchanging toasts and socializing.
However, at the head of the hall, today's birthday star, Old Master He, did not seem pleased at all.
"What's going on? Does that girl Shanshan still look down on those young talents?" Old Master He said in a deep voice.
"Yes, father." He Rongxuan replied solemnly from the side.
"I think Mu Shanshan is dead set on being with that brat Lin Fei." Wu Xiuli said with a sarcastic smile. She was upset about Lin Fei's earlier actions too. Ma Yan'er was her go-between, and Lin Fei's actions were as if he was slapping her in the face.
"Hmph! Let me handle this later. I don't believe that brat Lin Fei dares to act wild in front of me." Old Master He said seriously, looking at the pair approaching him from a distance, his anger simmering.
Before long, they arrived in front of Old Master He.
Mu Shanshan felt a bit awkward, genuinely unsure of what to say now they were face to face.
Lin Fei, though, still seemed indifferent and nonchalant, looking at Old Master He with a hint of playfulness.
"What's wrong? Shanshan, have you forgotten how to address your grandfather?" Old Master He, who was straightforward all his life, was like this in all matters concerning people and things. Even though he deeply regretted what he had done in the past, he showed no emotion at this moment.
Instead, he even looked a bit stern and severe towards Mu Shanshan.
"Cough! I, um." Mu Shanshan seemed a bit at a loss, as if Old Master He's words had made her nervous, which had never happened before.
"Honey, don't say anything yet." Suddenly, Lin Fei interrupted Mu Shanshan's unspoken words, standing directly opposite Old Master He, just staring without saying a word.
Lin Fei's thought process was quite simple. Right now, he didn't want to be pressed by acknowledging such an arbitrary grandfather, or else he might be at a disadvantage later. He wanted to clarify relationships before discussing how to address people.
"What do you intend to do?" Old Master He said gravely. Only now did he shift his gaze to Lin Fei; he hadn't even paid attention to him before. By now, he had no choice but to take notice of this guy, who was like a whirlwind disrupting everything. He was about to succeed in getting Mu Shanshan to call him grandfather, establishing the relationship, and then everything would be easily settled. But unexpectedly, Lin Fei disrupted everything at the last minute. It was hard for him not to get angry.
"What do I intend to do? Heh, isn't it obvious?" Lin Fei sneered.
"Lin Fei, don't..." Mu Shanshan clutched Lin Fei's hand, her expression anxious, fearing he would offend Old Master He.
"Lin Fei, this is the He Family, and my father is Shanshan's grandfather. You're in the wrong place to cause trouble. If you continue to behave erratically, don't blame me for turning ruthless." He Rongxuan couldn't stand it any longer. In his eyes, as long as Lin Fei the troublemaker was around, today would not end well.
"Yeah! I don't even know which mediocre university graduate you are, trying to climb up and behave pretentiously. You're disgraceful, and only Shanshan takes you seriously." Obviously, Wu Xiuli had done her homework on Lin Fei, investigating him thoroughly in an attempt to deal with him. However, it was clear she really didn't know much of Lin Fei's past.
"Is that so? You all think I'm like this, uneducated, marrying Shanshan as if I were a cheap bird landing on a high branch, turning into a phoenix," Lin Fei sneered coldly.
"Isn't that the case? You, a mere security guard, what right do you have to be with Shanshan, to stand here?" Wu Xiuli said nastily.
"Hahaha! Then let me ask you, if I am just a small security guard, then who are you all? To my wife Shanshan, who are you?" Lin Fei shouted, then continued, "One refuses to acknowledge a daughter, another doesn't recognize a sister, and yet another is full of nonsense. Meanwhile, I am the man who has accompanied Shanshan for ages. So tell me, don't I have the right to say and do what I do?"
"Besides, why did you invite Shanshan back this time? Was it just to celebrate the old man's birthday? I doubt it." Lin Fei wore a cold smile, not believing the He Family called Mu Shanshan back merely for a birthday celebration.
"Alright, there's no need to say more. Lin Fei, this is a He Family matter, and it's not your place to interfere. Moreover, I believe you are not a suitable husband for Shanshan. My father and I have jointly decided that, taking advantage of today's gathering, we will select another match for Shanshan. You should leave!" Pointing towards the door, He Rongxuan made a gesture to see him out. He had had enough; Lin Fei was like a sticky piece of gum that, once wet, disgustingly caught onto everything. So he bluntly stated his purpose, hoping Lin Fei would give up and demonstrating his determination.
"Have you considered my feelings? You may be my family, but, sorry, we're not that close, so you don't have the right to dictate my affairs. Lin Fei, let's go!" Mu Shanshan said angrily; she never expected the He Family would have such plans. To meddle in her marriage unilaterally and wantonly dissolve her relationship with Lin Fei—what kind of nonsense was that!
"Heh, you really are something..." Lin Fei was both amused and exasperated. The He Family was practically digging their own grave—what a joke.
"Shanshan! Don't go." Old Master He said anxiously. He didn't anticipate Mu Shanshan's reaction would be this severe. Trying to be clever backfired spectacularly!
"Old master! If you ask me, it's better if they leave. Let's not forget, Shanshan has been completely dazzled by that kid Lin Fei." Wu Xiuli chimed in, her expression delighted in others' misfortune.
"Enough, sister-in-law, you..." He Rongxuan was about to continue speaking, but at that moment,
"There's a guest, Young Master He, General Wang, please come in." The butler announced outside, followed by a hearty laugh.
"Old Master He, Wang Hongjun reporting in! Haha!"
Instantly, a commotion arose among the people—a Major General!
"Honey, let's go," Lin Fei took this opportunity to say to Mu Shanshan.
