“Sir, I am me, and my father is my father. Regardless of the rights and wrongs between my father and you, my father has been dead for many years and should be resting in peace. Therefore, please do not mention him or insult him.”
Despite his attempts to restrain himself, it was not hard to see the subtle displeasure and grief on Xiao Jinyan's face.
It turns out he wasn't indifferent; he had just been suppressing his feelings.
The result of this long-term forbearance was the accumulation of much dissatisfaction with the old man.
Perhaps the old man realized he had gone too far, and he let out a heavy sigh, saying nothing more.
After a pause, Xiao Jinyan stood up and stood face to face with Xiao Shenxing, looking at each other.
A spark ignited between the two.
It's time to make a clean break.
“Xiao Shenxing, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. Fortunately, all the prominent people in Haishi are here today, along with reporters. Let everyone be our witnesses. From today onwards, you and I are no longer family.”
From this day forward, we are no longer family.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Shenxing suddenly felt a chill. He seemed to realize that going against Xiao Jinyan was not a wise choice.
But it was too late for him to turn back. Besides, he and Xiao Jinyan were natural enemies; from the day they were born, it meant they would always stand on opposite sides. The battle wouldn't end until one of them completely crushed the other, leaving him unable to recover.
This seemed to be a major event. The two of them were bound to have a showdown sooner or later, but no one expected it to be today, at the Xiao family patriarch's birthday banquet.
With that in mind, Yi Yi simply found a corner, poured herself a drink, and got some different snacks. She leisurely ate while keeping an eye on what was happening in front of her.
It's been a long time since I've seen a play.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shenxing paused slightly, then sneered and said, "Brother, although you don't acknowledge me as your brother, we are still related by blood. I can't watch you make one mistake after another. Today, let's get this straight. Do you dare to admit the heinous things you've done in front of the old man and everyone here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what Xiao Shenxing was really up to.
Xiao Jinyan laughed, a laugh full of disdain, as if he didn't take Xiao Shenxing seriously at all.
"Then tell me, I'm all ears."
Xiao Shenxing glanced at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Jinyan.
"Savage Village. I'm sure you're familiar with it, brother."
The name "Wild Man Village" is known not only to Xiao Xiaojin, but to everyone in Haishi.
Five years ago, this village was just an ordinary village.
But one day five years ago, this village suddenly became known throughout the city and even the whole country at an astonishing speed.
The reason was that on that day, a rare disease suddenly broke out in the village, and the people there became violent, biting and beating anyone they saw, as if they had gone mad.
A team of experts went to investigate, but once they entered, nothing came of it.
Later, the situation in the savage village worsened. Gradually, even the people there began to change in appearance, developing many deformities.
Therefore, people isolated this place from the outside world, preventing those inside from leaving and those outside from entering.
The name "Savage Village" comes from this.
