If the Lin family is bullied by Yu Hongyuan and his daughter today, then everyone in Chongqing will come to bully the Lin family from now on.
At that time, Zhou Chenyang won't even need to take action; the Lin family will find it difficult to maintain their foothold in Chongqing.
What she could understand, Lin Yunzhi could also understand.
She had just rebuked Yu Hongyuan when she heard Lin Yunzhi say, "Yan'er is a bit naughty. She has indeed done a lot of things like teasing cats and dogs, and she has also gotten into fights and brawls."
"But she has never harmed the innocent, never bullied men or women, and never coerced anyone or seized anyone's land or houses."
"Since you've come to my door today, I'm offering compensation in the spirit of settling things peacefully."
"But I never think Yan'er did anything wrong. If she hit your daughter, it only means your daughter deserved to be hit!"
Lin Xiuyan's eyes reddened slightly upon hearing Lin Yunzhi's words.
She never knew that this was how Lin Yunzhi viewed her.
Looking back on what she did before, she would get into fights every now and then, but she only fought thugs and hooligans.
However, due to Jiang Xinrou's ulterior motives in promoting her work, her actions were exaggerated and smeared.
In addition, Jiang Xinrou spread many rumors, which made her infamous and she became a notorious playboy in Chongqing.
Yu Hongyuan was furious that Lin Yunzhi would say such a thing: "Lin Yunzhi, how dare you speak like that!"
"Do you really think the Lin family now is the same as the Lin family of the past? Without the City Lord's Mansion backing it up, the Lin family is nothing!"
Lin Yunzhi looked at him and said, "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"The matter between your daughter and my Yan'er was originally just two girls playing around."
“Your daughter is useless and can’t beat my Yan’er, so she should go home and call the adults.”
"Your daughter's actions were shameful, but understandable. After all, she's a girl, and it's understandable that she might be a little spoiled."
"I'm willing to give your daughter face and offer compensation, but if you want to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for my family, then I'm sorry."
He clapped his hands as he said this: "Our Lin family has never been a pushover."
"You may have had some misunderstandings about the Lin family before, but that's okay, I can help you correct them today."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the servants and guards of the Lin family stood up behind him.
They were all carrying sticks and other weapons, and their eyes were fierce.
Yu Hongyuan was instructed by Zhou Chenyang to cause trouble for the Lin family today.
He originally thought this matter was not difficult to do; as long as he brought people over to scare Lin Yunzhi, Lin Yunzhi would definitely back down.
But he realized at this moment that Lin Yunzhi was not even afraid of Zhou Chenyang, so how could he be afraid of him?
If it really came down to a fight, the dozen or so men he brought would probably be no match for the Lin family.
He said, his voice trembling with fear, "The Lin family injured my daughter and uttered arrogant words. I'm going to ask the city lord to stand up for me!"
After saying this, he grabbed Yu Feiyan and ran outside, but he had only reached the door when he felt a sharp pain in his calf, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Xiuyan stuffed the small slingshot she always carried back into her sleeve, walked to Yu Hongyuan's side and said, "Why are you being so polite, Mr. Yu?"
"It's not even the New Year yet, and you're already giving such a big gift? Our family can't accept it!"
Yu Hongyuan was so angry that his face turned blue. Yu Feiyan pointed at Lin Xiuyan's nose and cursed, "You are vulgar and utterly despicable, without talent or virtue!"
"The city lord's willingness to marry you is a stroke of incredible luck for your family, yet you dare to break off the engagement!"
"Believe it or not, once the city lord breaks off your engagement, you'll never be able to get married for the rest of your life!"
Before Lin Xiuyan could speak, a male voice said, "Who said that? As soon as she and Zhou Chenyang break off their engagement, I'll immediately come to ask for her hand in marriage!"
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Xu Qianting stride over.
Xu Qianting's father was the garrison commander of Yucheng, and his official rank was the same as that of the Yu family. However, the garrison commander held military power and had more influence.
Yu Hongyuan and Yu Feiyan never expected that after the Lin family offended Zhou Chenyang, Xu Qianting would still dare to stand up for Lin Xiuyan.
Both father and daughter knew they wouldn't get anything out of the Lin family today, so they turned to leave.
Lin Xiuyan called out, "Wait a minute."
Yu Feiyan felt relieved and said provocatively, "Do you know fear now? If you're scared, then apologize to me in public!"
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly as she took out a copper coin from her purse and threw it at Yu Feiyan's face: "This copper coin is for your medical expenses."
"Don't ask why you only have one copper coin. The answer is that you're only worth this much."
Yu Feiyan: "..."
Yu Feiyan: "!!!!!!!!!"
Lin Xiuyan is so infuriating!
Yu Feiyan wanted to tear Lin Xiuyan's clothes off again, but as soon as she moved, Lin Xiuyan started rolling up her sleeves.
Lin Xiuyan's demeanor suggested that if Yu Feiyan made the first move, she would publicly beat Yu Feiyan to a pulp.
Yu Feiyan was still in pain all over her body, and she instinctively felt a little scared when facing Lin Xiuyan, who was exuding a powerful aura.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't push your luck!"
Lin Xiuyan sneered: "Your whole family brought people to my house and you actually have the nerve to say that I'm going too far?"
Yu Hongyuan pulled Yu Feiyan aside and said, "Their whole family are bandits, we won't stoop to their level!"
Xu Qianting spat, "Shameless!"
Even after Yu Hongyuan and his daughter left, the crowd gathered in front of the Lin residence had not dispersed.
Anyone with eyes can see that what happened at the Lin residence today means the Lin family is in deep trouble.
Although Lin Xiuyan often caused trouble, Lin Yunzhi was a well-known philanthropist in Chongqing.
Over the years, he has spent a lot of money repairing bridges and paving roads, but the onlookers just shook their heads and no one was willing to come over and say a word to the people from the Lin family.
There were even people saying very unpleasant things.
Xu Qianting was about to hit them when he heard this, but Lin Xiuyan stopped him, saying, "Don't bother with them. What are you doing here?"
Xu Qianting looked slightly uncomfortable when he saw her hand pulling at her sleeve.
He said with a hint of arrogance, "There are a lot of people here, so don't pull or shove."
Ever since Lin Xiuyan hugged Xu Qianting in the alley, he has been stuck in the idea that "Lin Xiuyan likes me".
It was because he knew that Lin Xiuyan and Zhou Chenyang were engaged and had seen Lin Xiuyan chasing after Zhou Chenyang that he was willing to ask his mother to come to the Lin family to propose marriage.
He went out of town yesterday and wasn't home. When he came back, he heard about Lin Xiuyan and Zhou Chenyang's affair.
He immediately told his mother that he wanted to marry Lin Xiuyan, and his mother chased him all over the yard with a rolling pin and beat him.
He finally managed to sneak out and came to the Lin residence.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled at his expression, but he added, "You did very well today!"
“I told you before that Zhou Chenyang was not a good person and that you should break up with him as soon as possible, but you wouldn’t listen.”
"Now he's done such a disgraceful thing..."
