The entire room was completely silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Zhou Xiaotian lay prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to raise his head, as if awaiting Lin Yu's judgment.
Lin Yu didn't blame him for anything, he simply said, "Get up!"
Zhou Xiaotian quickly got up, then went over and pulled Li Xinxin by the hair.
"Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin!"
Li Xinxin gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, are you crazy? You actually want me to apologize to a live-in son-in-law?"
Snap!
Zhou Xiaotian threw a big punch at him, yelling, "Just apologize when I tell you to! Stop with all that nonsense!"
Li Xinxin covered her face in disbelief, "Cousin, you actually hit me?"
Zhou Xiaotian took a deep breath. This cousin of his really didn't understand his good intentions.
I was clearly saving her!
Bang!
Without saying a word, he went up and kicked her, forcing Li Xinxin to kneel on the ground.
But Li Xinxin was still unwilling to give up, gritting her teeth and glaring fiercely at him, "Cousin, don't forget, it was my family who lent you money to save Auntie. When you first started out, it was my dad who lent you the start-up capital!"
Zhou Xiaotian said coldly, "Of course I remember, but I think I've already paid back all the money I borrowed from your family, haven't I?"
"You've paid back the money, but have you repaid the debt of gratitude? If our family hadn't lent you money back then, would you be where you are today? The way you treat me now is ungrateful! Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about by your family back home?" Li Xinxin roared angrily.
Zhou Xiaotian's expression changed, becoming slightly unpleasant.
indeed!
Without the Li family's help, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Your kindness is as heavy as a mountain!
But you must understand, the person in front of you is the young marshal!
The young marshal also showed him great favor!
At the same time, he also knew that the young marshal could make him successful, but he could also easily destroy him!
They could even wipe out the Li family with a flick of their wrist!
But Li Xinxin didn't understand his good intentions and instead accused him of being ungrateful. This truly chilled his heart!
Li Xinxin sneered, "What? Speechless now? Let me tell you, Zhou Xiaotian, today you can only choose one: me or this kid. It's either him or me. If you still consider me your cousin, then help me cripple him! Otherwise, I'll go back and tell my dad, and let everyone in our hometown know that you're an ungrateful scoundrel!"
"you!"
Zhou Xiaotian's face was grim.
He came out into the world with the sole purpose of returning home in glory one day.
If one day he returns to his hometown and is scolded as ungrateful and a heartless wretch, what is the point of doing well outside?
However, he would never dare to disrespect the young marshal!
So, what should we do?
Zhou Xiaotian's eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Bring me a dagger!"
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
They all looked at Lin Yu.
Is Brother Tian really going to make a move against this young man?
Li Xinxin thought so too. She looked at Lin Yu and let out a cold laugh, "Haha, kid, you're finished now!"
Pang Zhengming immediately ran over and pointed at Lu Xueqing, reminding her, "Brother Tian, there's also this little slut. They're in cahoots. Let's smear her face too!"
Lu Xueqing's heart pounded, and she gripped Lin Yu's hand tightly, her palms damp with sweat.
Lin Yu gently squeezed his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Wife, don't worry! He won't harm us!"
"Haha, still showing off?" Li Xinxin laughed and shook her head. "My cousin has already taken out a dagger. If he doesn't cut you, does he want to cut himself?"
Whoosh!
With a swift stroke, the knife fell, and blood splattered!
A finger rolled down with the blood.
Then came Zhou Xiaotian's screams!
Everyone was taken aback and stared blankly at the scene before them.
Did Brother Tian really cut off his own finger?
Li Xinxin stared in disbelief, her face filled with horror, "Cousin, you..."
Zhou Xiaotian looked at her and said coldly, "Today, I'm cutting off one of my fingers to repay the debt of gratitude to your Li family! From now on, I, Zhou Xiaotian, will have no further connection with your Li family!"
After saying this, he suddenly raised his head and said coldly, "Now, I am merely Mr. Lin's servant. You dare to insult Mr. Lin and his wife, which is a grave offense of disrespect! Kneel down and kowtow to apologize immediately, or don't blame me for disregarding our brother-sister relationship!"
Li Xinxin's face was deathly pale. Her cousin's eyes were like those of a predator, and she knew this was no joke. He was even willing to harm himself; why would he care about his cousin?
This time, she was completely scared.
He knelt down with a thud, stammering, "Mr. Lin, please spare me! I was just confused for a moment. I was deceived by Pang Zhengming! That's right! I was deceived by him, otherwise I wouldn't have come to provoke Madam!"
Pang Zhengming looked completely bewildered.
Damn it!
You were the one who insisted on standing up for me, how can you blame me for that?
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly. "Didn't you two just get married? Now that disaster is upon you, you're abandoning each other?"
Li Xinxin hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, this is a marriage of convenience. I spent 50 million to redeem him from the hotel. There is no affection between us at all. If you want to punish someone, then punish him. I have nothing to do with him!"
Upon hearing this, Pang Zhengming's lips twitched uncontrollably. His head spun, and he felt as if he could barely stand.
Lin Yu couldn't help but sneer. He was wondering how Pang Zhengming had suddenly run away from Li Xianren.
It turns out he signed a contract of servitude!
Pang Zhengming trembled uncontrollably as he looked at Lin Yu's mocking gaze. "What... what do you want? Isn't an apology enough?"
"Apologize?" Lin Yu said with a playful look, "What did you want my wife and me to do just now? Kneel down and kowtow, lick our feet? And call us ancestors?"
