The spacious hall was decorated with grandeur and brilliance, a perfect reflection of Mr. He's life. He was a strong-willed person, with a personality full of the grand style of the old days, so every stage set for him always highlighted his ambition and formidable presence.
At this moment, Mr. He would not appear himself. Therefore, entertaining the guests was left to Mr. He's eldest son, He Rongxuan, and his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Since Mr. He's second son, He Zhiyuan, was the ambassador from Mo Country and had pressing matters to attend to, he couldn't make it to Mr. He's birthday banquet. His representatives were his wife, Wu Xiuli, and their youngest son, He Zhengyu.
He Rongxuan was not concerned with Lin Fei and his group at the moment. He knew they would come, even if only for his sister, He Rongshan, so he wasn't worried. He mingled comfortably among the successful elite, easily forming a small circle around him.
As for He Zhiyuan's wife! Since He Zhiyuan was born to Mr. He and his second wife, Wu Xiuli did not appear particularly close to He Rongxuan. She too engaged herself, chatting about family gossip and jewelry with a group of wealthy ladies.
And as for He Zhengyu! One might say he's in a bit of a pitiful situation, finding it easy to converse with a group of fair-weather friends. However, when required to discuss politics and careers with well-mannered and upright young individuals, he was at a loss and had no choice but to act as a greeter, handling the exchange of gifts to show the host family's sincerity. After all, seeing my disabled right hand and aching back, yet still earnestly welcoming everyone, can't you feel the He family's sincerity?
Before long, He Zhengyu had already welcomed three waves of guests. Just now, he escorted a few people as an introduction and returned to the door. In front of He Zhengyu now stood over a dozen guests, mostly admirers escorting celebrities.
Suddenly, He Zhengyu was stunned, his expression turning ferocious, consumed by rage.
"Damn, you wretched lowlife, you dare come to my home? Damn it, if I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not worthy of the name He." In a sudden fury, He Zhengyu completely ignored the power imbalance between them. Raising his intact left hand, he forcefully squeezed past a few guests, landing a heavy punch on the face of a man in the rear of a group of people.
"There's a saying, 'There's a path to heaven but you won't take it, there's no door to hell but you come barging in.' Didn't get enough last night, huh?" Lin Fei was also harboring a suppressed rage, for he accidentally let slip, causing Mu Shanshan to be extremely disappointed and ignore him. Due to Mu Shanshan's presence, he held back for ten minutes before coming in to avoid encountering this kid, but you've come to me, so don't blame me.
He grabbed with a swift motion, as if reenacting yesterday, only using his left hand instead of his right. Lin Fei suddenly seized He Zhengyu's wrist with a "snap," simultaneously protecting the terrified Mu Shanshan behind him.
"What do you want? Don't be reckless! This is the He family; if you hit me, beware of the consequences." He Zhengyu panicked, realizing this was just a reckless kid with decent skills that he was no match for.
"Damn, just who let this scoundrel in here?!" He Zhengyu cursed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.
If he knew that Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were invited by his uncle, he would likely have a different expression. Perhaps He Rongxuan, being the one who called him a scoundrel, should be the one to give him a few lashes.
"Lin Fei, no, he is Lin Zhengyu, my mother's nephew." Mu Shanshan hurriedly spoke, trying to stop Lin Fei's actions.
"Nephew?"
"Yes! He's the youngest son of my mother's brother." Mu Shanshan responded quickly, afraid Lin Fei wouldn't listen.
"Hey!" Lin Fei sneered and said, "Did you know, last night, he was the one who wanted to make a move on you, so I broke his right hand?"
This family really has good genes! They can produce anything. Though on the edge of anger, Lin Fei still found time to think this.
"Ah!" Mu Shanshan gasped, never imagining this was the truth, realizing she had wronged Lin Fei.
Looking at Lin Fei's sturdy back, akin to an impenetrable wall, as he shielded her from the storm, Mu Shanshan felt a stir in her heart.
"Kid, weren't you arrogant? Show me your arrogance now!" Lin Fei sneered loudly, instantly intimidating He Zhengyu into a state of paleness and trembling fear.
Then "crack, crack, crack…"
A series of sounds signaled Lin Fei's punishment on He Zhengyu. He was not a magnanimous person, and with He Zhengyu provoking him, he deserved his misfortune.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Boo hoo…" He Zhengyu cried out as Lin Fei squeezed the pain into him.
The pain linked directly to the heart, even though Lin Fei only squeezed the wrist. With his strength, crushing the bones in the wrist was of no challenge. This was with Lin Fei holding back; otherwise, with He Zhengyu in this state, he might have been scared to wet himself.
"Who are you, what do you want? Let go of my son." At this moment, Wu Xiuli noticed the commotion and hurried over in large strides. Seeing her son captured by a stranger, in visible agony, felt worse than carving into her heart.
"Alright, stop the theatrics; I didn't do anything too harsh to your son. I was just giving him a lesson, teaching him to open his eyes in the future." Lin Fei sneered coldly, responding without mercy.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiuli cast her gaze on Lin Fei, her entire aura of nobility naturally pressing towards Lin Fei.
If a poor boy were present, he'd likely have been scared out of his wits, but she was facing Lin Fei.
"Cut the pretense, speak quickly, or get out of the way. I have no time to play with you." Lin Fei said impatiently, his grip growing stronger.
"Lin Fei." Mu Shanshan clutched Lin Fei's arm, hoping he would let go.
"Did you forget?" Lin Fei turned his head, revealing a smile towards Mu Shanshan, saying, "I said I came here to ruin the event."
"Didn't I say, I didn't come here to ruin anything." Mu Shanshan said angrily.
"I'm not taking back my words. Besides, don't you think taking the initiative is better?" Lin Fei said stubbornly.
"Lin Fei, you're impossible." Mu Shanshan was completely exasperated and at a loss for words.
"Young man, I advise you to let go of my son quickly, or I'll have to call in the guards." Wu Xiuli eyed both Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, feeling an unexplained familiarity, guessing they might be the offspring of acquaintances, meaning it wouldn't be wise to offend them too much. Today marked Mr. He's seventieth birthday, after all, making it inappropriate to stir up a fight. Hence, Wu Xiuli considered calling the guards.
After all, Mr. He not having a few well-trained guards on standby would be most unusual.
