"What do you an ’selling’ to soone else? I’m doing what’s best for you, trying to find you a good family. What’s not to like about Mr. Qi? It’s your good fortune that he fancies you."
"This ’fortune’ of mine, I’d rather not have."
"You..." The man in glasses was livid, his body trembling with rage.
"Zheng Guozhong, you’ve truly failed as a father, not even being able to handle your own daughter," Qi Jianhui snorted coldly. "Don’t forget what you promised . If we can’t settle things today, don’t bla for turning my face against you."
"No... that won’t happen..." Zheng Guozhong looked panicked and hastily said, "Mr. Qi, rest assured, I’ll definitely sort this out and won’t let you down."
Hearing their conversation, Ling Chen felt puzzled. Leng Feifei’s last na was Leng, and her father’s was Zheng. Could it be that she isn’t his biological daughter? That would make sense; what kind of biological father would side with an outsider to go against his own daughter?
"Feifei, don’t bla your father for being ruthless. You must co with today," Zheng Guozhong seed to have made up his mind.
Ling Chen took a glance at Leng Feifei and saw that she was unmoved. He imdiately understood her intentions. He glanced at Zheng Guozhong and said indifferently, "Unless Feifei is willing, no one can take her away as long as I am here."
Zheng Guozhong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Kid, I advise you not to make trouble for yourself."
Ling Chen shrugged, completely disregarding the other’s words, "Sorry, I don’t have other hobbies, I just like to poke my nose into others’ business."
"Fine, you’re asking for it. Feifei, I foresaw that you wouldn’t co with easily today, so I’ve co prepared. Guangwu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five young n rushed into the shop. The leader, a twenty-sothing with dyed red hair and a cigarette in his mouth, was dressed flamboyantly. The others were dressed similarly, like typical gangster youths.
"Dad."
Zheng Guangwu called Zheng Guozhong and then looked towards Leng Feifei. His eyes, obscured by smoke, showed a flash of lustful intent.
"My dear sister, why make things difficult with your family? As long as you’re obedient, it will benefit all of us."
Leng Feifei looked at her so-called brother, and her fists clenched unconsciously, her cheeks slightly pale with distress.
Feeling that sothing was off with her, Ling Chen couldn’t help but take another look at Zheng Guangwu. He found it odd; judging by Leng Feifei’s reaction, she seed to absolutely loathe the guy.
"Guangwu, since Feifei is unwilling to co with us, you know what to do."
"Dad, leave it to ," Zheng Guangwu curled his lip, flicked the cigarette butt from his hand, and walked towards Leng Feifei. "Sis, make it easy for the both of us and just co with . Don’t make this difficult for your brother."
"Get lost! I don’t want to see you."
Hearing her sharp rebuke, Zheng Guangwu’s mouth quirked up in a cold smirk, "Looks like you prefer punishnt over a toast. If that’s the case, then don’t bla for not being polite." After speaking, he reached out to grab Leng Feifei’s wrist.
However, what he grabbed was not Leng Feifei’s hand but Ling Chen’s.
"Buddy, what are you doing? I’m not into that sort of thing, you must be mistaken," Ling Chen said as he shook off his hand and pulled out two tissues from the counter to wipe his hand, looking completely disgusted.
"You..." Before Zheng Guangwu could finish, Zheng Guozhong roared beside him, "Guangwu, this punk is the problem. Teach him a lesson."
Zheng Guangwu glanced at Ling Chen, his mouth twisting up in a scornful smirk, "Kid, move away if you don’t want to get hurt."
"Give it a try."
"Hmph! Trying to act the man in front of my sister? Fine, I’ll let you."
With the end of Zheng Guangwu’s words, a slap was imdiately thrown out.
Smack!
A crisp sound was heard, and all eyes were focused on Ling Chen. However, they quickly realized that they were misled. Ling Chen was completely unscathed, while it was Zheng Guangwu who was covering his swollen cheek, a mix of shock and anger on his face.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised.
It seed clear that it was Zheng Guangwu who threw the punch, but it wasn’t Ling Chen who got hit—it was Zheng Guangwu himself. For a mont, people looked at Ling Chen with curiosity, wondering how he pulled it off.
"How dare you hit ?" Zheng Guangwu cursed. "Boys, take him down."
Seeing those youths charge at her all at once, Leng Feifei worriedly said, "Ling Chen..."
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here." Ling Chen gave her a reassuring look, and casually slapped one across the face.
Smack!
The youth at the forefront fell to the ground as a response.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
A series of slaps were thrown, and the youths beca dazed and confused, tumbling to the ground, piling up.
Seeing Ling Chen effortlessly take down these people with a few slaps, everyone was taken aback. Zheng Guangwu looked at Ling Chen with sheer terror and unconsciously stepped back.
"Buddy, didn’t you just say you were going to beat up? Co on, continue."
"You... don’t get too arrogant."
Ling Chen curled his lip, "If you don’t dare to make a move, then get lost quickly. Don’t embarrass yourself here. And you two..." he pointed at Zheng Guozhong and Qi Jianhui, "if you don’t want to crawl out of here, then disappear from my sight imdiately."
"Mr. Qi..."
Zheng Guozhong looked at Qi Jianhui, sowhat at a loss.
"Hmph, if you can’t handle this matter well, then you sort it out." Qi Jianhui coldly dropped a remark and turned to leave.
"Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi, don’t go." Zheng Guozhong hastily followed, but at the doorway, he turned back to look at Leng Feifei with a grim expression, "Rember this, it’s not over. As long as you’re my daughter, don’t think you can escape this."
After Qi Jianhui and Zheng Guozhong left one after the other, Zheng Guangwu also didn’t dare to stay any longer. Covering his swollen cheek, he and his n shafully ran away.
Ling Chen took a breath, turned his head to look at Leng Feifei beside him, and was about to speak, but saw that her eyes were already brimming with tears.
"Are you alright?" He offered her a tissue, expressing his concern.
Leng Feifei gently shook her head, "Thank you for helping ."
"Don’t ntion it."
"Feifei."
At this point, the store’s owner, Zhang Huan, ca over with a hesitant look. Seeing his conflicted expression, Leng Feifei imdiately understood, "Boss, I’m sorry for causing trouble. I won’t work here anymore."
Zhang Huan sighed helplessly, "Don’t bla , I can’t provoke Qi Jianhui. If you continue to stay here, he definitely won’t let off the hook."
"I know."
"You should go back and rest well. I’ll transfer the rest of your wages to your account."
"Okay, then I’ll be going."
Leaving the mall, Leng Feifei intended to take the bus ho, but Ling Chen still pulled her into his car. After what happened just then, he was worried that Leng Feifei was unsettled and might do sothing rash, so it was better to stay by her side.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked. He knew Leng Feifei certainly didn’t want to go ho now, but there had to be a destination, "Or shall I take you back to school?"
Leng Feifei looked out of the window, took a while before saying, "Let’s go to a hotel."
"You’re planning to stay at a hotel tonight?"
"Yes, I... I hope you can stay with ." After saying this, Leng Feifei lowered her head, a faint blush on her pretty face.
Ling Chen’s eyes widened, sowhat unable to believe what he had heard. The developnt of the plot seed to be a bit unexpected. He thought Leng Feifei would find a quiet place to sit for a while, perhaps go to a bar to drown her sorrows, but he did not expect her to go straight to the hotel and ask him to accompany her.
What does this an?
Could there really be such good luck as pie falling from the sky?
