Xu Jinbu grabbed a teacup from the table, ready to throw it, but Gu Changfeng stopped him, "You dare to touch her and see what happens?"

"What? Is this woman your bastard child? Why are you so nervous? My aunt..."

Before Xu Jinbu could finish speaking, Lin Wanwan stepped forward and slapped him across the face. Just as Xu Jinbu was about to say something, Lin Wanwan slapped him again.

Xu Jinbu was stunned by the beating and stood frozen on the sofa, "You crazy woman, what are you doing?"

“I think you lack manners. Since your parents don’t care, I’ll have to take care of you as an outsider. You’d better watch your mouth, or I won’t mind doing a little extra work,” Lin Wanwan said, glancing at Xu Jinyang and his wife.

"Who do you think you are, daring to hit me?"

Xu Jinyang immediately scolded him, "Shut up, you good-for-nothing."

"Dad, it's not appropriate for outsiders to get involved in our family affairs."

“The only outsiders here are your family,” Xu Zhe said without any politeness, holding the child.

Lin Wanwan looked at Xu Zhe and Qian Qian and said, "Grandpa, why don't you and Grandma take Tuanzi to sleep? He hasn't slept all day."

Qian Qian glanced at her, then patted Xu Zhe's arm. "Let's go, I'm tired too, I'll go back and get some sleep."

"Dad, Mom, we're not finished talking yet."

Xu Zhe stood up, holding the child. "What did you say? You almost made me die of anger! Do you want to keep going until you make me die of anger?"

Qian Qian also stood up and said, "We have already published a notice in the newspaper to sever our relationship. We only have one daughter."

Xu Jinyang stood up to stop Xu Zhe and Qian Qian, but Gu Bei stopped him, saying, "Please, you are not welcome in our home."

"Grandpa and Grandma, don't you even want me and my brother anymore?"

“Your grandmother and I are old, not stupid. We know very well who you are.”

“In the past, I didn’t say I was giving your parents a chance,” he then said, looking at Xu Jinyang and his wife. “Look at the children you’ve raised, what aspects of their character and upbringing are commendable?”

After Qian Qian finished speaking, she took the child upstairs without looking back. Xu Jinbu was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.

"You old codger, do you still think you're some minister or dean? You should be secretly glad we came; no one will mourn you when you die..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Wanwan grabbed a pot of water from the table, opened the lid, and splashed it directly onto his face.

"What are you doing?" Xu Jinbu screamed.

"I'm not doing anything. Wash your filthy mouth. Not every place is a place for you to run wild. If you dare to bark again, I'll go straight to the kitchen and get a knife. You can try me if you don't believe me."

"You bastard, who do you think you are to talk to me like that? You don't even have the surname Xu, what are you anyway?"

Lin Wanwan immediately pulled out a dagger from her bag and lunged forward. She didn't intend to stab anyone; she just wanted to scare Xu Jinbu.

Everyone present was startled. Xu Jinyang grabbed her wrist and demanded, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, so you know how to discipline your son now? Be more careful next time. Don't wait until he's actually stabbed to death before you start intervening. You're lucky you ran into me today. If his foul mouth offends any big shot next time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find his body."

Xu Jinyang's face was as dark as Bao Gong's in an opera. He gripped Lin Wanwan's hand tightly. "I advise you not to lay a hand on me. Uncle Xu is having a hard time, isn't he? If you make more enemies now, you'll only get yourself killed. If you mess with me, my dad won't let you off the hook, you know that, right?"

Xu Jinyang had investigated Lin Wanwan. Her father was now the director of the newly established Industry and Commerce Bureau, a powerful position. He used to work for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, but was reassigned to the new department while still holding a concurrent post in the Commission. The Minister of Public Security was his former comrade-in-arms. It was definitely not a good thing to mess with this little girl.

Xu Zhang went up and slapped his hand, shouting, "Let go of me right now!!"

Seeing that Lin Wanwan's wrist was red, Gu Changfeng stepped forward, grabbed Xu Jinyang's wrist, and twisted it, causing Xu Jinyang to release his grip in pain.

Lin Wanwan's wrists were red from being pinched. "Dad, don't let this little bitch get away with it..."

"Shut up!!" Xu Jinyang turned around and slapped her across the face. He had lost face completely today.

He originally thought that if he came back and made a scene, the old man would forgive him, or at worst, he would be driven to his death and all of the old man's property would go to him. But then Lin Wanwan showed up.

"Get home right now!!"

Xu Jinbu and Xu Tiantian walked out reluctantly, not forgetting to turn back and glare at her fiercely.

Lin Wanwan mouthed goodbye to them in a cheeky manner and waved the knife in her hand.

Xu Jinbu tried to rush over, but was stopped by Xu Jinyang.

After everyone left, Lin Wanwan sat down on the sofa with a pained expression. "Mom, my hand hurts, it's all red."

Xu Zhang said irritably, "Now that you know what pain is, how dare you take out a knife? Where did you get a dagger?"

"My dad gave it to me. I used to be bullied by thugs, and then my dad gave me this dagger. Who knew that when the thugs stopped bullying me, I was almost raped. Luckily, this dagger saved me. It's a small thing, but it's very sharp."

"When did this happen? Why weren't you told?"

"It's okay, it's all in the past, Mom, my hand hurts," Lin Wanwan shook her swollen wrist.

"I don't know if it's because my skin is too delicate or because I'm too thin, but it swells up as soon as I scratch it."

Xu Zhang took the medicine the aunt handed him and applied it to her face. "Why did you come here?"

“It was Auntie who called my brother. He couldn’t come out, so he asked me to come over,” she said, turning to her auntie. “Auntie, I’ll give you my home phone number. If anything happens at home, just call me. My brother can’t come out usually, but even if I’m not home, my mom is.”
