Fu Yan was surprised to find Ye Jinlin listening at the door. He paused for a moment, then quickly composed himself.
"Yes, yes, the commander is right. As soon as Ting Shen got home, I gave him a good beating and then quickly brought people to apologize to Zhi Yu."
Ye Jinlin frowned. He had no liking for Fu Yan, who was quick to resort to violence. Everyone knew perfectly well whether Fu Yan was hitting Fu Yan because his son had made a mistake or because he was afraid of offending him.
It's not proper to talk to guests while standing at the door; you should lead them inside.
Get straight to the point: "Speak, what brings you here?"
Ye Zhiyu poured them three cups of tea and sat down next to Lu Chen. Their private time was interrupted, and she was in a very bad mood.
Fu Yan noticed Lu Chen beside her, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Commander, what are you talking about? What have I done? It's all because this unfilial son has let Zhiyu down and is causing trouble with some shady people outside. Today, I'm here to make him apologize to Zhiyu."
Ye Jinlin was quite displeased to hear him belittle the girl like that.
Even if that girl is of low character, she's not someone he can insult; she's still someone else's daughter.
Even if we assume that his son genuinely likes Zhiyu, maintains a clean reputation, and doesn't send the wrong signals to others, why would anyone bother with him?
When the truth came out, they tried to pin all the blame on the other person.
Then look at Fu Tingshen, that kid. I didn't like him before, but now he's letting his father insult him. His mouth is like it's glued shut. He's really tight.
"No way, our family can't afford that." Looking at Lu Chen sitting upright over there, he seemed a little more pleasing to the eye.
Lu Chen: Is this for real? Can they come every day? I'm waiting online, it's urgent!!!
Grandpa Ye snorted coldly, and Grandma also had a long face.
Fu Yan gave Fu Tingshen a meaningful look; he was unwilling, and Fu Yan warned him with his eyes.
Pain shot through my legs, and my face turned pale; this scene mirrored many things I'd experienced before.
His mind kept replaying those scenes and the words Fu Yan had said to him.
"Did you hear me? You absolutely must make sure that little brat from the Ye family is happy."
"Useless trash, hurry up and apologize."
"You useless thing, hurry up and apologize."
"You better win Ye Zhiyu's heart, or I'll break your legs."
Back in reality, Fu Yan was still glaring at him.
Fu Tingshen lowered his head timidly, took a few steps forward, and offered his apology.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Zhiyu, I'm sorry, I was such a jerk, I hope you can forgive me."
After all, he's a child I've watched grow up. He almost fell while walking those two steps.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about forgiveness. It's just that the two families' children didn't get along. They should just have less contact in the future."
Xu Ronghua couldn't say much about what happened with the Red Flag Brigade outside, and Ye Zhiyu didn't have time to tell her when she came back either, so Ye Jinlin and the others just thought it was because Ye Jinlin had finally been dumped.
But Fu Yan didn't come here today for that result.
“Old Ye, our two families have been related for so many years. Ting Shen has been blinded this time. The two kids have also been together for so many years. It’s not possible to just break it off like that. The kids are immature. We can’t let them do whatever they want. I think we should still set the wedding date.”
Lu Chen clenched his fist on his knee, and Ye Zhiyu reacted quickly, interlocking their fingers tightly.
Ye Jinlin and his wife were stunned. They had seen all sorts of things over the years, and now, with both of their children already in relationships, they were getting engaged?
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing; their worldview was completely shattered.
"No, Fu Yan, are you getting dementia? Both of your kids have partners."
Ye Jinlin was speechless and started calling him by his full name.
Fu Yan didn't care at all: "Hey, what's the big deal? It's normal to meet people before getting married. It's just that the kids are too reckless. We parents have to be careful and know who is suitable and who is not."
He glanced at Lu Chen with a hint of contempt, "As for their partners, I really feel bad for them. If not, they can get together and become a couple."
Grandma held her head and said, "Oh dear, old man, why am I so dizzy?"
Are you dizzy? I'm dizzy too.
The elderly couple felt like something had exploded in their heads.
Ye Jinlin's face darkened. How could he be so shameless as to say such things?
"Uncle Fu, have you forgotten that I was also sent to the countryside in Hongqi Brigade? I originally wanted to give you some face, but you didn't want to."
"Putting aside whether Li Xi is a shady character or not, just tell me, your son got Li Xi pregnant, and then your wife pushed him down, causing a miscarriage. What are you going to do about it? A daughter's reputation is the most important thing. You're not saying a word about it now, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
"What? Fu Yan, your family actually did such a despicable thing."
Fu Yan panicked. He originally thought that Ye Zhiyu had some feelings for Fu Tingshen, and that as long as he proposed to get engaged, Ye Zhiyu would happily rush over. He did not expect that things would not go as he had imagined.
"No, no, Commander..."
Ye Jinlin: "What do you mean, 'not'? You still want to deny it?"
"Commander, this was all a deliberate seduction by that Li Xi. It has nothing to do with Ting Shen. We will compensate her. It won't affect the two children."
Fu Yan hurriedly offered a solution, as he was being targeted by too many people and couldn't afford to lose the Ye and Su families.
Ye Jinlin felt increasingly disgusted as he listened. "Are you treating me like a three-year-old? She seduced Fu Tingshen. If Fu Tingshen could resist, tell me, how did that Li Xi get pregnant?"
Ye Zhiyu added fuel to the fire: "Dad, he's just treating you like a fool. They're already engaged in the Red Flag Brigade."
"What!!!"
Ye Jinlin, Grandpa Ye, and Grandma Dai Lin all slammed their fists on the table and stood up.
“Fu Yan, do you know what you’re doing? You’re committing marriage fraud. I’m going to report this to my superiors tomorrow. Get out of here now.”
"Damn it, you think you can bully me just because I'm retired now? I'll call the commander tomorrow, you son of a bitch."
Grandpa Ye raised his cane, ready to strike.
"No, sir, please listen to me..."
"I'll listen to your plea, are you going to get out of here or not? I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard."
The family of three fled in panic.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Zhiyu and Lu Chen poured the pot of tea that had just been poured for them all over Fu Yan, not wasting a single drop.
Moreover, when Fu Yan tried to escape, Lu Chen restrained him, causing him to take several blows.
Even though the old man has retired, he's still incredibly strong.
Grandpa Ye was panting heavily, his chest heaving.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that they had the opportunity to upset you."
Ye Zhiyu admitted her mistake with a pitiful expression, after all, it was the original owner who insisted on chasing after Fu Tingshen, which led to the current situation.
Even though it wasn't her intention, it can't change the fact.
"What are you talking about? How could we blame you? Who has eyes in the back and front to know what will happen in the future? Our Zhiyu is just too sentimental, which is why he kept giving them chances. It's their fault for not appreciating it. We don't blame you."
