Chapter 565: Chapter 510, Take Your Hand Off Immediately!

Fang Yi emphasized the term "collateral branch" with particular heaviness, the implication of which went without saying.

Lin Xueru, neither servile nor overbearing, looked straight at the arrogant Lin Feng and said, "Yes."

"My name is Lin Feng, and I am also a collateral branch, but I’m a collateral branch within the Lin Family," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"Still a collateral branch," Lin Xueru replied with an unchanged expression, still neither servile nor overbearing, and not at all overwhelmed by Lin Feng’s aura.

Compared to the past, Lin Mengyan had become less lively and more composed and restrained, gradually developing the demeanor of a powerful woman, showing no weakness even in the face of the unreasonable and assertive Lin Feng.

A cold glint flashed through Lin Feng’s eyes, and he said, "But at least I am a collateral branch within the Lin Family. Even your father would have to treat me with respect when he sees me. I advise you to do the same, or if the Lin Family decides to punish you, even your grandfather won’t be able to bear it."

This statement was loaded with a threat that anyone could discern, and a struggle flickered across Lin Mengyan’s face.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "What’s the matter? Have my words fallen on deaf ears, Lin Mengyan? Won’t you give me some face?"

Lin Mengyan struggled immensely as she looked at Lin Feng’s somewhat smug expression. She gritted her teeth, fully aware that he was bullying and insulting her, yet she was powerless to do anything about it.

Lin Mengyan bent her waist ever so slightly and respectfully said, "Young Master Feng."

Lin Feng burst into hearty laughter, filled with satisfaction.

However, amidst the crowd, some cast peculiar looks, and someone couldn’t help but whisper, "Bullying a woman, what kind of man is that!"

Lin Feng heard this, but he didn’t bother to retort.

Fang Muye’s lips curled into a faint smile. He did not intervene, finding the situation amusing. After all, this wasn’t his affair—why should he step in?

Moreover, given Lin Mengyan’s connection with Fang Yi, Fang Muye knew Lin Feng’s intentions and was even less likely to step forward.

Meanwhile, upstairs, two middle-aged men stood side by side. Fang Jupeng, with a smile on his face, said, "Lin Zheng, are you just going to let that Lin Feng bully the Lin Family’s daughter like this? Picking on a woman, Lin Feng has really outdone himself."

Lin Zheng coldly replied, "You needn’t interfere. What we do tonight is to deal with Fang Yi, Fang Jupeng, I hope you bring your full effort."

Fang Jupeng said, "Don’t worry, the effort I put in will definitely be more than enough."

Downstairs in the great hall, the surrounding area was now crowded with onlookers, all having witnessed the scene, and there was rampant discussion.

"The young master from the Lin Family really is something else, so full of presence."

"But by bullying a woman like this, it seems a bit much, doesn’t it?"

"If he wants to bully her, let him bully her. Who told Lin Mengyan to always act so high and mighty?"

"Right, to deal with that kind of woman, you have to humiliate her thoroughly!"

The opinions varied, but many were eager to see Lin Mengyan put in her place.

Among them were not a few pursuers of Lin Mengyan who had been rejected by her. Some could let it go, but others were obsessed and hoped Lin Feng would bully her even more, so they could feel more vindicated.

Lin Mengyan once again lifted her head, her posture neither servile nor overbearing, her willowy waist perfectly straight. Her beautiful eyes held a cold frost as she said, "Is this enough? Of course, if you wish to continue to humiliate me, feel free. I can endure it."

At her words, resolute and defiant, there was not the slightest intention of submission.

Lin Feng was momentarily taken aback, then a flicker of anger emerged in his eyes. He sneered and said, "The Lin Family is a collateral branch of the Lin Family, so you must obey! Lin Mengyan, now I command you, kiss me."

As these words burst from Lin Feng’s mouth, the room fell silent. Some people shot him looks of disdain, but many more were rubbing their hands together in excitement, eager for a spectacle.

Lin Mengyan’s face also changed as she coldly said, "Impossible!"

Lin Feng sneered, "Nothing is impossible!"

Lin Feng took a step forward, approaching Lin Mengyan, the sneer on his face becoming more intense.

The surrounding crowd held their breath, rendering the scene utterly silent.

Among them, some were angry, but many more were excited. Most of them were suitors of Lin Mengyan or men with ulterior motives. Although it wasn’t them that Lin Feng had Lin Mengyan kiss, their excitement surged just by watching from the sidelines.

Lin Feng, growing impatient, said, "Lin Mengyan, hurry up!"

Lin Mengyan remained silent, not moving an inch.

Lin Feng became irate and reached out to grab Lin Mengyan’s fragrant shoulder. His grip was strong, causing Lin Mengyan to furrow her brows in pain, but still, she did not move.

"If I’m talking to you, how dare you not listen? Then don’t blame me for being rude!" A vicious look flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.

A sense of dread filled Lin Mengyan’s heart.

Just then, a fierce shout came from outside the crowd.

"Get the hell out of my way, all of you! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being blind with my fists and kicks."

The words were domineering and irksome, but following the sound of this voice, swish swish swish, a path was cleared as if afraid of being thrashed by this person’s fists and kicks, showing extreme wariness.

Fang Yi pushed through the crowd and slowly walked towards Lin Feng.

At the very moment Fang Yi appeared, the hall instantly erupted.

"Fang Yi has come out. Is he going to avenge Lin Mengyan?"

"Rumor has it that Fang Yi and Lin Mengyan are close. By the looks of it, he doesn’t come in peace."

"But Lin Feng is after all a junior member of the Lin Family. Does Fang Yi dare do anything?"

"Why wouldn’t he dare? He even dared to break both of Fang Tianqi’s legs!"

Fang Muye’s eyelids twitched as the words of some people hit a nerve. He actually had a decent relationship with Fang Tianqi, and they were of the same level. Wouldn’t that mean, just as Fang Yi dared to break Fang Tianqi’s legs, he could do the same to him?

Words were spoken without thought, but they were taken to heart by the listeners. Coupled with the middle finger insult by Fang Yi at the bar, a fire of rage was burning in Fang Muye’s chest, unable to be extinguished.

Seeing Fang Yi making his way through the crowd, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a wolf-like depth, as sharp as a knife.

No one noticed that Lin Feng’s fist was first clenched tightly, and then swiftly relaxed. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face.

Fang Yi strode over confidently and directly positioned himself beside Lin Mengyan, making his stance clear.

"You’re Fang Yi?" Lin Feng began slowly, with a grave tone.

"You know who I am, so cut the crap and make way," responded Fang Yi indifferently.

"You’re not qualified enough," Lin Feng retorted coldly.

Fang Yi didn’t get angry but instead smiled. He glanced at Lin Feng’s hand, resting on Lin Mengyan’s shoulder, and said, "I’ll give you one chance to remove your hand. If not, you can’t imagine the consequences."

Lin Feng responded, "What if I don’t? What can you do?"

However, the next moment, a wine bottle suddenly appeared behind Lin Feng and violently smashed against the back of his head!

(Today’s physical examination didn’t go well; I failed. There’s always been a slight issue with my thumb since birth – they said it’s a disability. I’m feeling quite down, sorry for making everyone wait!)
