"You dare to hit , I will kill you..."
At that mont, Ma Yan, who had been sent flying by Lin Mo, got up. Half her face was swollen like a bun, and that was because Lin Mo had restrained himself. Otherwise, a single slap could have shattered her.
Lin Mo ignored the two of them and instead looked at Lin Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, do you really want to marry soone you don't know?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Ma Yan and Du Li both froze.
Li Mingjun was about to arrive; the arrangents between the Du Family and Li Mingjun's family had already been decided. If Lin Shanshan reneged at this point, it would offend Li Mingjun's family, and the entire Du Family would face their retaliation.
While the Du Family was a major household in Xiazhou, they were far inferior to Li Mingjun's family from Han Country.
Li Mingjun's family in Han Country was a branch of the Sanhe Consortium, which controlled international brands like Three-star, Sony, and Toshiba, with assets in the hundreds of billions of US Dollars. They were a financial giant, one of the top ten wealthiest conglorates in all of Asia.
Even as a branch of the Sanhe Consortium, Li Mingjun's family was not soone the Du Family could afford to provoke lightly.
Lin Shanshan, with her head lowered in silence, saw Lin Mo frown and then smile, "Shanshan, I know you're worried about , but don't worry. Your Brother Mo is very powerful. He's not afraid of any enemies. Just speak your mind."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Lin Shanshan finally shook her head after a mont of silence.
"Shanshan, didn't you promise Dad you would enter into a marriage alliance with Li Mingjun's family? As long as the marriage goes through, Dad won't pursue your Brother Mo, and he will also intercede on behalf of the Wei Family," Du Li said with a nervous look on his face.
"But I really don't want to marry soone I don't know," Lin Shanshan replied, biting her thin lips, her eyes misty with a pleading look at Du Li.
Du Li frowned, "Everything is already in place for the engagent, and Young Master Li Mingjun has arrived. If you back out of the marriage now, it would put our Du Family in a very embarrassing position."
"Don't worry about Li Mingjun's family for now; think about how you're going to explain this to first," Lin Mo said coldly, glancing at Du Li, and then quickly left the room with Lin Shanshan.
Seeing Lin Mo take Lin Shanshan away, both Ma Yan and Du Li's faces showed urgent concern.
"What do we do now?" Ma Yan asked Du Li in a panic. If Li Mingjun's family really got angry, it could endanger the Du Family. Many of the Du Family's businesses were on seaways and routes between the sea and Han Country, and with just a flick of Li Mingjun's family's finger, the Du Family could plumt to the abyss.
"Let's follow them and see. Push all the bla onto Lin Mo. Without him, Shanshan won't oppose ," Du Li mused, frowning.
Du Feiyu, Du Jie, Be, Du Ruoxi, and Du Xueqi arrived in the room shortly after, shocked to discover that Lin Mo was planning to have Lin Shanshan break off the engagent. If Lin Shanshan really did call off the marriage with Li Mingjun, the Du Family would face serious retaliation from Li Mingjun's family, and they would descend from rich second-generation to ordinary people.
"Has Lin Mo gone mad?" Du Feiyu clenched her teeth. Although she feared Lin Mo's Martial Power, they feared even more the fall from wealthy heirs to commoners.
As for Du Juan and Mr. Huang being beaten, everyone had forgotten to inform Du Li and Ma Yan.
"Ah."
Du Ruoxi sighed.
"Sister Ruoxi, why are you sighing? Don't you think Brother Xiao Mo is just like a hero?" Du Xueqi said, her eyes shining brightly as she spoke.
"You're still young and don't understand the intricacies. Li Mingjun's family is a super-major family in Han Country, connected to both the underground forces and the military. If Lin Mo truly offends them, it won't be as simple as offending the Wei Family," Du Ruoxi said, shaking her head with a sigh.
On the top floor of the cruise ship was a huge banquet hall roughly half the size of a football field. Today was the great day of the engagent between the Du Family and the young master of Li Mingjun's family, and nearly every notable and wealthy person from the higher echelons in Fu Province had gathered.
In the banquet hall, guests clinked their glasses and mingled, with no one noticing Lin Mo and Lin Shanshan entering.
"Wuxue, are you still thinking about that guy? Maybe he's already left," Han Qingzi said to her close friend.
He Wuxue, wearing an off-shoulder champagne-colored evening gown with her brows slightly furrowed, smiled and said, "Why would I think about him? We've only t once, after all."
"But was that person really not an Immortal?" Han Qingzi seed to recall the grand battle at the coast a few days ago, a hot topic that had been fervently discussed in the high society circles lately—rumors were that so Immortals had appeared in Xiazhou.
As they were chatting, Han Qingzi casually turned her head and suddenly froze, "Is that... has an Immortal arrived?"
He Wuxue turned around, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise, "It's him. He didn't leave?"
Just then, Du Li and Ma Yan, along with Du Feiyu and others, rushed in, intending to stop Lin Mo.
"Uncle, where is he?" Du Feiyu asked, pointing to the figures of Lin Mo and Lin Shanshan.
Lin Mo, holding Lin Shanshan's hand and wearing a faint smile on his face, said, "Shanshan, once you know Brother Mo's strength, you won't have to worry about anymore."
Despite the throngs of people in the banquet hall, many had gathered around the southwest corner, where a sofa was placed. A young man in a suit was sitting there drinking, with a woman in brocade clothes and a man from Han Country standing behind him, attracting much attention.
Xiazhou, being a coastal city with several shipping routes to Han Country and Japan, had many businessn who regularly conducted business with Han Country rchants. As for Li Mingjun's family, they were known to everyone as a major family in Han Country.
Seated on the sofa, wearing a white suit, the young man was none other than Li Mingjun, the young master of Li Mingjun's family.
"Master Li Mingjun, congratulations, congratulations."
"Boss Qiu, thank you," Li Mingjun replied in his less than perfect Chinese.
Lin Mo, pulling Lin Shanshan with him, walked straight toward Li Mingjun and soon stood before him, looking down at him coldly.
The Han Country woman and man standing behind Li Mingjun furrowed their brows slightly upon seeing Lin Mo, while other businessn around were startled by the appearance of Lin Shanshan and Lin Mo.
"Isn't that Miss Shanshan from the Du Family? So eager to et Young Master Li Mingjun."
"Miss Shanshan is beautiful and elegant, a perfect match for Young Master Li Mingjun—a golden couple indeed."
Hearing the complints from the crowd, Li Mingjun's face, which had been stunned at first, now carried a shallow smile as he then looked up at Lin Shanshan and said, "Miss Shanshan, hello. I'm wondering why Mr. Du isn't accompanying you?"
"Get lost, or I'll kill you." Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a cold voice spread through the hall, causing everyone's faces to freeze, and the whole place fell silent.
