Xu Xiaoguo and Lan Meiqi sat opposite Lin Feng, fidgeting uneasily.
Behind them, A Chen stood ramrod straight with several burly men, as if facing a global tycoon. The pressure was even greater than when they met Tang Wan.
There was no way around it; Lin Feng was simply too powerful. Even Phil had to show him considerable respect.
They couldn't fathom Lin Feng's background!
But they knew very well that Lin Feng had influence in both legitimate and illegitimate circles. In his presence, they were nothing more than ants!
"Mr. Lin, regarding my father and Aunt Zhang's matter, we have no objections. Whenever they wish to marry, Xiaoguo and I give our full support!"
Lan Meiqi said, steeling herself.
"Haha, now you know to support it?"
"It's too late! You support it, but I don't!"
Lin Feng let out a laugh, staring coldly at the snobbish couple. "If my mother were just an ordinary village woman, would you still support it?"
"You two fair-weathered trash, now that you've seen my strength, you're scared and regretful. Have you no shame? Where is your self-respect?"
Lin Feng berated them mercilessly, like scolding grandchildren.
Su Qingya remained silent and didn't intervene, feeling that Lin Feng's words were entirely justified.
"Uncle Xu, I'm lecturing your unfilial son and daughter-in-law on your behalf. You're not angry, are you?"
Lin Feng asked Xu Ruhui for his opinion, worried that his harsh words might be too much for Xu Ruhui's heart.
"Not angry! Xiao Lin, you're right. My unfilial son deserves to be scolded. Scold him thoroughly!"
Xu Ruhui's face was ashen. He would rather disown his son than see the empire he built with his own hands ruined by his son and daughter-in-law.
A lesson was always good!
"Alright, I'm reassured by your words!"
"How about this: you disown your son and daughter-in-law right now. From now on, Qingya and I will take care of you in your old age!"
"If you agree, then Qingya and I will agree to your marriage with my mother. If you don't agree, then Qingya and I can only object to your marriage with my mother!"
Lin Feng's words stunned Xu Ruhui.
"You, what are you talking about? How can you ask my father to disown me? You..."
Xu Xiaoguo couldn't sit still and tried to stand up to argue, but A Chen and the others firmly held him down in his seat.
"When my elder brother speaks, if you dare to interrupt again, I'll kill you!"
A Chen's face turned fierce, and he pressed a small knife against Xu Xiaoguo's throat.
Feeling the coldness on his neck, Xu Xiaoguo was so frightened he immediately shut his mouth.
Lan Meiqi was also terrified, never expecting the other party would dare to use a knife.
But they didn't dare to doubt A Chen's words. With Lin Feng's capabilities, killing them was not just talk.
"Xiao Lin, if I marry your mother, do you and Qingya really disagree?"
Xu Ruhui asked after a moment of stunned silence.
"Uncle Xu, Qingya and I don't disagree. It's just that with a son and daughter-in-law like yours, my mother won't be happy marrying you."
"As you can see, I'm not short of money. If my mother wants anything, I can get it with a mere gesture!"
"Furthermore, it was your son and daughter-in-law who were excessive first. We are merely stating our reasonable demands!"
"This isn't asking too much, is it?"
Lin Feng questioned sternly.
Xu Ruhui fell into a daze, recalling his son's filial ingratitude over the years. After a long while, he finally said with relief, "It's not asking too much. I agree!"
"I can't count on this unfilial son to provide me with peace in my old age. My duty as a father is fulfilled. I owe him nothing now."
"Xiaoguo, our father-son relationship ends here today. I'll leave the company to you and Meiqi. From now on, pretend you don't have me as a father!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoguo trembled all over. "Dad, how can you treat me like this?"
"How have I treated you? I've given you the company, and you're still not satisfied? What else do you want?"
Xu Ruhui said furiously.
"Dad, don't be angry. Xiaoguo didn't mean it like that. Our company's annual profit isn't much, and now Ms. Tang has refused cooperation."
"You know our expenses every year. If you don't look after us anymore, how will we live?"
"At the very least, you should help us secure the cooperation with Ms. Tang, so we won't have any worries!"
"I married him, didn't I, for the sake of not worrying about money? If you do this, then I really can't go on with him."
"If we get divorced, it will be your fault!"
Lan Meiqi said shamelessly.
As soon as she spoke, even Xu Ruhui felt his worldview collapsing.
"Fine, at this point, neither of you cares about your father, only money!"
"Xiao Lin, I've made you folks laugh. I, Xu Ruhui, have lived a pathetic life! I can't even find peace in my old age!"
"I was truly wrong! I was wrong for not educating my son properly, wrong for not teaching him how to be a person! I was wrong to find such a greedy daughter-in-law!"
"Disown them! From now on, your lives are your own affair, and it has nothing to do with me. No one can stop my marriage with Aunt Zhang. We will support each other in our remaining years!"
After speaking, Xu Ruhui, feeling utterly enlightened, took Zhang Cuihua's hand.
Having experienced this, he had finally seen the light!
