Ye Xuan continued, "However, you are Tong’s father, and I won’t let Tong get hurt! So for her sake, I have to lower my standards and see someone like you as an opponent. But that’s all there is to it, don’t think I truly want to contend with you, I’m not interested. As long as you’re not intentionally provoking me, I couldn’t care less to confront you."
After speaking, Ye Xuan curled his lips and said indifferently, "Moreover, trying to improve your relationship with me to curry favor won’t work! Because Tong is my wife, and I’ll only consider her attitude."
"If she forgives you, then everything is negotiable and I won’t hold grudges against you! But if she doesn’t, even if you kneel and beg me, it won’t matter. So I advise you not to waste your efforts on me, if you truly have that intention, go make amends with Tong."
Lin Dongfang was thoughtful, then said seriously, "Ye Xuan, rest assured! Tong is my daughter, and I will definitely make it up to her and do my best to heal the wounds I caused her over the years."
"Just saying it won’t work! I hope you can do as you say, if I find out Tong is wronged again, I will be the first not to forgive you." Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Rest assured, since I’ve said it, I, Lin Dongfang, will definitely do it!"
Lin Dongfang straightened his expression and stated solemnly.
With that, Lin Dongfang changed the subject, gesturing invitingly with a slight smile, "Ye Xuan, today I specially invited a chef from a five-star hotel to prepare a sumptuous dinner, you and Tong should come and try it!"
Ye Xuan nodded indifferently, then took Lin Tong’s arm and followed Lin Dongfang into the luxurious villa in front of them.
As they stepped into the villa, they immediately saw a spacious and bright living room. At the moment, a young man with a spiky hairstyle was sitting on the sofa watching TV! Who else could it be but Tong’s brother, Lin Zifeng?
Hearing the commotion at the door, Lin Zifeng glanced over with the corner of his eye, then quickly turned back, continuing to stare at the TV, having no intention to get up and greet them.
Although his eyes were on the TV, Lin Zifeng had no interest in the show at all at this moment.
Because he saw the person he least wanted to see—Ye Xuan!
Recalling the scene he witnessed in the neighborhood in the morning filled him with anger, letting Ye Xuan off without a beating was considered courteous. Of course, he knew he couldn’t beat Ye Xuan, so he wisely chose to ignore!
However, just as he wanted to ignore, someone wouldn’t let him. Soon, Lin Dongfang’s voice came from the door:
"Zifeng, your sister and brother-in-law are here, aren’t you going to come greet them?"
Hearing this, Lin Zifeng was very annoyed, knowing he couldn’t pretend not to see, he reluctantly put down the remote and stood up unwillingly.
Swaying over to Ye Xuan, Lin Zifeng forced a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
His tone was sarcastic and mischievous.
"What Mr. Ye? Zifeng, he’s your brother-in-law, you better show some proper attitude!" Lin Dongfang scolded, frowning.
"Oh, so Mr. Ye is my brother-in-law, huh? Excuse my poor eyesight, almost didn’t recognize. But I’m curious, is someone like him really fit to be my brother-in-law? Won’t he just mess around with my sister and then kick her aside?"
Lin Zifeng taunted sarcastically.
"Zifeng, what nonsense are you spouting? Is Ye Xuan that kind of person? You’re just asking for a beating!"
Lin Dongfang coldly reprimanded, his face turning stern, his tone very displeased:
"Regardless of past conflicts, Ye Xuan is now your brother-in-law! Show some respect and have some manners."
He felt a bit disappointed, what’s wrong with this kid today, is he deliberately causing trouble? Doesn’t he know the Lin Family now relies entirely on this man, and he’s being so ignorant, trying to push the Lin Family into a pit?
"Alright, alright, I get it!"
Lin Zifeng curled his lips, carelessly looking at Ye Xuan, saying lazily, "Brother-in-law Ye Xuan, I apologize for earlier, I’m not good with words, if I said something I shouldn’t have, please be magnanimous."
Ye Xuan squinted slightly, unsure why Lin Zifeng was targeting him, but seeing this kid’s annoying face, he was displeased.
"Don’t worry, little brother-in-law, I won’t take it seriously with a nobody, at most give them a beat down!"
Ye Xuan waved his fist, smiling all over.
Hearing this, a surge of anger rose in Lin Zifeng’s heart, Ye Xuan was indirectly insulting him!
But seeing the other’s raised fist, his pupils involuntarily shrunk, suppressing his anger, he sarcastically said:
"Ha, brother-in-law, you surely have a broad mind! Someone says something offensive, you just beat them up! Is that not taking it seriously?"
He avoided admitting it was about himself, otherwise, wouldn’t that be a response to Ye Xuan, indirectly admitting he is a nobody?
Ye Xuan said indifferently, "I usually handle things with my fists, a beat down is already light! If I took it seriously, it wouldn’t be just a beat down, they’d be lying in bed for months!"
Lin Zifeng twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing he couldn’t outtalk Ye Xuan, and considering their power difference, continuing on would just result in being humiliated.
"Is that so? Better watch your mouth then, otherwise if you say something wrong, you’ll face violence."
He could only snort and throw down a sentence, turning to head towards the dining table.
Lin Dongfang frowned slightly, looking at Lin Zifeng’s back, he turned back and said to Ye Xuan with a smile, "Ye Xuan, Zifeng is still a kid, spoiled by me, don’t mind his words."
"How could I? I’m the elder here, how could I take offense with the younger generation, right, Mr. Lin?"
Ye Xuan deliberately spoke loudly, addressing Lin Dongfang.
"Yes, yes! You are Zifeng’s brother-in-law, aren’t you his elder?" Lin Dongfang nodded along.
At the dining table, Lin Zifeng ground his teeth in anger at hearing this, that damned bastard, quietly taking advantage! So excessive!
However, since even Lin Dongfang sided with Ye Xuan, he had no other choice but to pretend he didn’t hear, sulking as he sat down at the dining table.
"Ye Xuan, the dishes are ready, let’s eat before they get cold." Lin Dongfang quickly said.
Ye Xuan nodded calmly, the three of them went to the dining table, and under Lin Dongfang’s enthusiastic invitation, he and Lin Tong sat together.
Once Lin Dongfang also sat down, the reunion dinner for the Qixi Festival officially began!
Feeling hungry, Lin Zifeng reached out with his chopsticks to grab a piece of braised ribs to eat.
But at this moment, Lin Dongfang glared at him and scolded, "No manners, this meal is prepared for your sister and brother-in-law, they haven’t eaten yet, what are you doing digging in? Put the chopsticks down!"
Afterwards, he immediately changed to a smile, pointing at two dishes on the table arranged in heart shapes, smiling broadly at Ye Xuan and Lin Tong:
"Tong, Ye Xuan, today’s the lunar Qixi Festival, our Yan Country’s traditional Valentine’s Day! I specially had a five-star chef prepare this lover’s hearty meal for you, please enjoy..."
