Xu Qingyan did not take things lying down like she usually did. Instead, she grabbed onto Ye Lan's wrist and glared at her fiercely. It was like they wanted to tear each other apart.
"Ye Lan, don't go overboard. I invited Auntie Zhang here. You have no right to fire her."
"Xu Qingyan, you sure are strange. You obviously know your status in this family, yet you can't learn a painful lesson," Ye Lan smirked. "Don't tell me you haven't been beaten up enough?"
After hearing this, Xu Qingyan's eyes filled with hatred. She knew that half of the injuries on her body were caused by this woman entering the family and sowing discord in her father's ears. As a result, Father Xu became even more violent towards her.
But...
"Hubby, tell me, whose side are you on?"
Ye Lan asked Father Xu with a look of ridicule. She was well aware of Xu Qingyan's status in this family.
Father Xu did not say a word. He simply walked over to the couple and threw a slap across the left side of Xu Qingyan's face. Five red handprints immediately appeared on Xu Qingyan's delicate face. The force of the slap was so strong that blood began to trickle down the corner of Xu Qingyan's lips, "Apologize to your mother..."
"I am your daughter!"
"I gave birth to you, so I can easily strangle you to death. I can have more children, but I only have one Ye Lan... "
There weren't many people in this world that could say something like this to their own daughter...
"I've given you wealth and status. What have you done for me as a daughter?" Father Xu questioned coldly. "You might as well have given birth to a piece of trash..."
Xu Qingyan tried her best to hold back her tears of humiliation. Father Xu's words struck her heart again and again. But, this time, she did not say a word. She simply looked at Father Xu bravely; she looked at the father that she once thought could be saved.
But, apart from hatred, there was nothing else she could do.
"That's because you yourself are a piece of trash..."
Xu Qingyan deliberately provoked him, so Father Xu once again raised his hand. But, before his slap landed, he saw a white-haired old man dressed in a black suit standing in the doorway. He glared at Father Xu angrily...
"Dad, why are you here?"
Old Man Xu said nothing, but his footsteps were heavy. Step by step, he walked up to Papa Xu and slapped him across the face three times. Papa Xu's face immediately turned red and swollen. "Even my dog doesn't bite its own cubs, and you're worse than a dog?"
Papa Xu stared at Old Xu in shock. It was the first time he had been hit by the old man after so many years.
"Dad …"
Elder Xu glared fiercely at Father Xu before he led his two bodyguards over to the sofa and sat down. He then smashed the box that Ye Lan was previously munching on melon seeds onto the floor, "I may not have been involved in the affairs of the world for many years, but it doesn't mean that the world belongs to you. Second Brother, didn't I tell you that if you remarried, your second wife would not receive a single cent from the Xu Family?"
Papa Xu did not say anything. He simply looked up at Ye Lan.
Elder Xu also noticed Papa Xu's expression, so he turned to look at Ye Lan, "Since you are Second Brother's new wife, shouldn't you offer me a cup of tea?"
Ye Lan froze for a moment. It seemed, this was also her first time meeting Elder Xu. But, she did not dare to slack off. At the same time, she hoped that Elder Xu would accept her.
Ye Lan carefully placed the cup of tea in front of Elder Xu. However, Elder Xu glared at her, "Don't you know the rules?"
Ye Lan held back her displeasure as she picked up the cup of tea and handed it back to Elder Xu. However, at this moment, a scream was heard...
"Ahhh …"
Ye Lan's upper body was scalded by the teacup that Elder Xu had thrown at her.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you treat my granddaughter like this. Instead of being an actress, you decided to collude with that monster."
At this moment, Ye Lan no longer cared about what Elder Xu had said. All she knew was that her entire body was on fire as she turned to Father Xu for help, "Hubby, hurry and help me, help me …"
Just as Father Xu was about to step forward to help her up, Elder Xu yelled at him, "You b * stard, I dare you to try and save her."
Hearing this, Father Xu did not know what to say. All he could do was watch as Ye Lan was humiliated.
"Hubby, save me … I still need to continue filming. I can't allow myself to be disfigured. I still need to win an award."
Ye Lan's cries echoed throughout the living room. But, even so, Father Xu did not have the courage to step forward to save her.
"If you dare to save her, I will cut all ties with you. Don't even think about taking a single cent out of Xu Corps," Elder Xu threatened. Old Man Xu threatened Papa Xu. "I really didn't expect you to treat my granddaughter like this."
Normally, Father Xu would not have tolerated this. But … the man standing in front of him was the father that had hit him for half his life. He had no way of resisting.
"From today onwards, I will officially move in here. I would like to see if you can skin Qingyan alive."
"Father, this is my family's business."
"Fine, if you want me to stay out of it, that's fine. I'm not a petty person," Elder Xu did not give Father Xu any face. "As long as you take that woman and leave without taking a single cent from Xu Corps, I won't care about anything else …"
Father Xu did not say another word. In order to protect himself, he allowed Ye Lan to lie on the floor and moan in pain for quite some time.
Ye Lan glared at Father Xu. No matter how sweet a man's words were, it still depended on a crucial moment like this. But, what did Father Xu do?
He threw her to one side without a second thought …
"From your reaction, it seems you want to continue living together, right? Fine, but Second Brother, you better prepare yourself. I just overheard you saying hurtful words to that actress, so I am extremely disappointed and angry. So … while I'm at home, I won't be giving you any face. "
After speaking, Elder Xu turned to Xu Qingyan and smiled, "Qingyan, come to grandfather."
This time, Xu Qingyan was not afraid as she approached the old man.
"From now on, you will pay back the way that woman caused you trouble in the past …"
"I don't want you to be kind, I want you to be able to protect yourself. As for those that bully me, I will make them understand what it means to pay back double."
"Speak. You can make your request to that woman right now."
