What? Have my wife kneel and apologize?

Lin Xiao's anger flared. He kicked open the office door. The sight that greeted him made his blood boil.

It was that bitch Su Qingfeng, standing arrogantly before Su Qingning. Two burly men were restraining Su Qingning by the arms, and a five-fingered handprint was livid on her fair cheek. She had clearly been slapped.

Without even asking, he knew that bitch Su Qingfeng was the one who did it.

Lin Xiao felt like he was about to explode. A monstrous killing intent erupted from him, enveloping everyone in the room like a vast net. The bone-chilling cold made them all shiver. Su Qingfeng, in particular, felt as if a ferocious beast had locked its eyes on her. It seemed the filthy beggar before her was about to tear her to shreds in the next second.

When Su Qingning saw Lin Xiao, her previously icy expression instantly crumpled with a look of grievance. Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes reddened, and her lips trembled in a pout. She looked like a deeply wronged child who had just seen her parents.

Su Qingning didn't want to be this way. Life had tempered her, and she was no longer a weak person. But seeing Lin Xiao now, she really couldn't hold it together anymore. She knew Lin Xiao couldn't truly help her with her problems, but the urge to cry was overwhelming.

Seeing Su Qingning's vulnerable and pitiful state, Lin Xiao's heart twisted in agony. But his rage burned even hotter.

"Let go of my wife!" Lin Xiao roared.

His voice boomed like a sudden clap of thunder, making the two brutes holding Su Qingning tremble. Su Qingfeng herself stumbled back a few steps.

But the worthless woman sneered defiantly, "Filthy beggar, who the hell do you think you are? You tell me to let her go, so I should let her go? Not only will I refuse, but I'll also show you the price for offending me! Men, drag this bitch Su Qingning out to the square! I want everyone in Jinling City to see what happens when you cross the Su Family!"

At her words, the two brutes started to move.

Lin Xiao could hold back no longer. He strode forward, his fury boiling over. Without wasting another word, he swung a heavy backhanded slap across Su Qingfeng's face.

SMACK.

A crisp sound echoed as Su Qingfeng was sent sprawling to the ground. If Su Qingning hadn't been there, Lin Xiao would have killed her on the spot.

Clutching her stinging cheek, Su Qingfeng staggered to her feet, glaring at Lin Xiao with pure hatred. "Kill this stinking beggar for me!" she shrieked.

Receiving their orders, the two brutes moved to attack without hesitation. But Lin Xiao gave them no chance. He shot out two lightning-fast kicks. The two pieces of trash instantly dropped to their knees, their faces contorted in pain. They were clearly badly injured.

A jolt of fear shot through Su Qingfeng. She had planned on using these two brutes to teach that bitch Su Qingning a harsh lesson, but she never expected this filthy beggar to be so ruthless.

"Kneel and apologize to my wife!" Lin Xiao ordered, his voice laced with killing intent.

Su Qingfeng raged, "Filthy beggar, are you courting death? You dare tell me to kneel and apologize to that bitch Su Qingning!"

In response, Lin Xiao delivered another heavy backhanded slap. This one was even fiercer, knocking Su Qingfeng to the floor, where she lay unable to move. The searing pain in her head made her feel like she was dying as she gasped desperately for breath.

Lin Xiao paid her no mind. "Apologize!" he roared.

Enduring the agony, Su Qingfeng lifted her head and glared at him defiantly. "You filthy beggar, you want me to apologize? In your dreams! If you have the guts, then kill me!"

So, the bitch has some backbone after all, Lin Xiao sneered inwardly. Kill you? That would be letting you off too easily. You haven't married a beggar yet.

"Are you kidding me, you stinking beggar?" Su Qingfeng yelled. "My husband is the sole heir of the Li Family, a second-tier family in Jinling City! You want me to marry a beggar? Dream on!"

Lin Xiao's laugh grew even colder. This bitch has no idea her husband is already dead and the Li Family is completely destroyed.

"Don't be so anxious. Time will prove everything," Lin Xiao said coldly. "Now, apologize to my wife. Otherwise, I'll keep beating you until you do."

Su Qingfeng shivered. Though arrogant, she wasn't a complete idiot. She knew she was at the mercy of this filthy beggar. If she didn't apologize, he really would hit her again—after all, he'd already slapped her twice. But she really couldn't bring herself to apologize, especially not to Su Qingning. In her eyes, Su Qingning was nothing but a bitch. Why should she have to apologize to her?

Just then, Su Qingning spoke, her voice cold. "Let her go. I never want to see her again."

Lin Xiao looked at his wife, his heart aching. He had wanted to thoroughly vent her frustrations for her, but seeing the resolve in her eyes, he could only roar at Su Qingfeng, "Get out!"

Su Qingfeng snorted. "Su Qingning, don't think this is over! You just wait. Sooner or later, you'll be handing this shabby bar over to me!"

With that, the bitch scrambled up and fled.

Lin Xiao didn't follow. Instead, he sent a message to Pei Donglai. Except for Su Qingfeng, the other two pieces of trash had to die today. The only reason he was sparing that bitch Su Qingfeng was because she had yet to marry a beggar. A blind fortune-teller had once told him she was fated to marry one, and Lin Xiao would, of course, make sure that destiny was fulfilled.

After sending the message, Lin Xiao's gaze fell upon Su Qingning. She just stood there, her expression bleak. Tears welled in her beautiful eyes, threatening to spill but never falling. It was clear she was using all her strength to hold them back.

Lin Xiao's heart felt like it was being stabbed, the pain so sharp he could barely stand. In his entire life, he had never felt so powerless and frustrated. Without another word, he stepped forward and pulled Su Qingning into his embrace.

"Wife," he said, his voice thick with guilt, "I'm sorry. I let you suffer."

Lin Xiao was consumed by guilt. Despite his powerful background, he had failed to protect his own wife, allowing her to suffer such humiliation.

His words shattered her final defenses. Her tears could no longer be contained, streaming from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string. It wasn't that she felt wronged; she just felt how unbearably hard life was. Why was her fate so miserable? She bit her lip hard, trying not to let a sob escape.

But Lin Xiao felt her silent tremors and pulled her tighter into his arms.

"Wife, I promise I will never let you suffer another injustice again. I swear it!"
