...Everyone was stunned at this scene, none had expected Zhao Yebao would actually slap his own daughter for Ye Feng’s sake.
That heavy slap directly caused Zhao Xinling’s cheek to swell and turn red.
Even Zhao Xinling herself stood there in shock. She had never been hit from childhood, but now her own father had struck her hard for a Ye Feng, filling her with immense anger.
Zhao Yebao shouted in anger, "Calling him a brute? What do you mean by brute? That’s the man you’re about to marry, your husband! If your husband is a brute, then what does that make you? Are you a brute as well?"
Zhao Yebao said furiously, "If I hear you disrespect your husband again, I will beat you to death, and disown you as my daughter!"
Upon hearing Zhao Yebao’s words, everyone was shocked to the core.
Regardless of anything, Zhao Xinling was Zhao Yebao’s daughter, yet now, for a Ye Feng, he spoke to his own daughter in such a way that everyone found it incredibly surprising and unbelievable.
Even Zhou Mengyu felt great admiration for Zhao Yebao’s character. Although Zhao Xinling was extremely arrogant and overbearing, she was still his daughter. Yet, for Ye Feng, he now stood by Ye Feng’s side.
Zhao Yebao was incredibly enraged, his eyes as though they were about to spew fire. Seeing her father so furious, Zhao Xinling was herself intimidated. Though reluctant, she still bowed her head, not daring to speak.
At this moment, several servants carried Shi Jingyuan to Shi Tianlong’s side.
Shi Jingyuan, looking at Shi Tianlong, couldn’t help but howl loudly, "Father, you must avenge me! This bastard, I must kill him. He’s ruined my martial abilities, I can never be a Martial Artist again. Father, I can’t accept this, I won’t rest until he’s dead!"
"Rest assured, I will definitely avenge you today!" Shi Tianlong said, his face extremely dark, his tone freezing cold.
At that time, Shi Tianlong’s eyes flickered with intense murderous intent, as he walked towards Ye Feng.
However, Shi Tianlong had hardly taken a few steps when he was stopped by Zhao Yebao.
Shi Tianlong frowned at Zhao Yebao and asked, "Zhao, are you trying to stop me? Do you want to tear your face with our Shi Family, become our enemy, for such a bastard? Do you think all this is worth it?"
After hearing Shi Tianlong’s words, Zhao Yebao responded, "I’m sorry, Family Head Zhao, but Ye Feng is my son-in-law, and he is one of our Zhao Family. I will not let you touch a single hair on him today no matter what!"
Zhao Yebao’s tone was extremely firm, not a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Even Ye Feng and Zhou Mengyu didn’t expect Zhao Yebao to be so righteous, to offend a behemoth like the Shi Family for a minor figure like Ye Feng. Anyone else would have found it unworthy, yet Zhao Yebao did just that.
"Zhao Yebao, are you serious in what you say!" Shi Tianlong’s face grew even more crazed.
"Of course I am serious. Today, no matter what, I will not let you harm my son-in-law. When Zhao Yebao makes a promise, I will keep it!" Zhao Yebao stated unequivocally.
"Good! Good!" Shi Tianlong, angered by Zhao Yebao, repeated the word "good" twice, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.
Shi Tianlong declared, "Zhao Yebao, I have heard you clearly. Just don’t regret it!"
With that, Shi Tianlong was ready to leave with Shi Jingyuan, but at that moment, Zhao Yebao stopped Shi Tianlong.
"Shi Family Master, please don’t hurry. I haven’t finished speaking. Please give me some time, and I will explain everything to you, rest assured!" said Zhao Yebao.
"Oh?" Shi Tianlong’s eyes showed confusion, "What explanation can you possibly give me? My son has been crippled. What’s the point of further discussion between us?"
Zhao Yebao sincerely said, "Just give me some time. I will explain slowly, how about it?"
"Fine! I will give you ten minutes. If you can’t give a satisfactory answer in ten minutes, our families will be enemies from now on!" Shi Tianlong said angrily.
"Very well then, please follow me, Shi Family Master," Zhao Yebao said.
Then, Zhao Yebao announced, "Everyone disperses. Go back to whatever you were doing!"
"Yes!" People nodded and started to leave when Zhao Yebao called out, "Housekeeper Hu!"
"Family Head, I am here!" At that moment, an elderly man around sixty years of age stepped forward.
This elder was the Zhao Family’s housekeeper, Housekeeper Hu; small in stature, yet emanating powerful Blood Qi, Ye Feng immediately realized that Housekeeper Hu was an Innate Perfection Grandmaster.
Housekeeper Hu’s expression was extremely cold, giving off an unapproachable aura.
Zhao Yebao ordered, "Take Ye Feng away, and treat him well, understand?"
Housekeeper Hu nodded indifferently, "Family Head, rest assured, I will take good care of the son-in-law."
Zhou Mengyu looked at Housekeeper Hu with trepidation. Earlier at the gate, the security guard had called Housekeeper Hu, and it was Housekeeper Hu who didn’t let Ye Feng and the others in, which is why the situation escalated so severely.
It was clear then that Housekeeper Hu did not like Ye Feng and probably wouldn’t allow Ye Feng to become the son-in-law of the Zhao Family.
Housekeeper Hu approached Ye Feng and said flatly, "Son-in-law, please follow me."
Ye Feng nodded calmly, and Zhou Mengyu followed them as they went with Housekeeper Hu.
After a short while, Housekeeper Hu brought Ye Feng to the Zhao Family’s guest room and asked him to wait there.
However, Housekeeper Hu stood by the door of Ye Feng’s room, always on guard, showing no intention of leaving.
But from Housekeeper Hu’s eyes, it was clear he had no respect for Ye Feng.
From the start until now, Housekeeper Hu’s behavior towards Ye Feng was very cold, his gaze filled with disdain, and he never spoke more than five words to Ye Feng.
Of course, Ye Feng did not mind, whereas Zhou Mengyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, Ye Feng, later you must express your gratitude to Family Head Zhao. You were too impulsive today. If it weren’t for Family Head Zhao, you probably would have been in serious trouble. Remember this favor from Family Head Zhao, do you understand?"
