"Is that so? Then I'll go in and take a look!"
Ling Feng's expression was calm. He naturally wouldn't pay attention to those who came to kick someone when they were down after hearing about another family's misfortune!
Elder Hua did not want the incident to escalate!
He probably also didn't want many people to notice the identities of Ling Feng and the others, as this was a huge secret!
He also didn't want the Hua family to be too high-profile, which would make them public enemies to many in Nanyun from then on.
Becoming a target would naturally be a very unpleasant experience.
However, even if they couldn't act so high-profile, there was no need to act so low-profile, right?
This was already like someone riding on their neck and defecating.
Ling Feng certainly couldn't tolerate it.
But Lin Siqi, who was beside him, came over and said to Ling Feng with a wry smile, trying to persuade him: "Ling Feng, let's forget about it. Hua Yuxiao specifically asked me to persuade you not to make a big scene. Today, they're just here to gloat. Later, once the news of the Hua family's cooperation with Jishi Group resumes spreads, these people will naturally be slapped in the face. There's no need to make a big deal out of it at this moment!"
Lin Siqi's words were spoken with considerable lack of confidence.
Clearly, Lin Siqi knew that even if she came to persuade him at Hua Yuxiao's request, she might not be able to dissuade Ling Feng.
As expected, Ling Feng glanced inside and shook his head: "What? It's already dinner time, and so many guests have arrived. Am I, the Hua family's son-in-law, not allowed to show my face? If I don't show up, won't that make more people laugh at the Hua family?"
"This..."
Lin Siqi and Tang Ru both wore expressions of difficulty. It was clear that similar voices had already emerged from inside.
What the two of them didn't expect was that someone passing by at this moment actually took a second look at Ling Feng.
Clearly having heard Ling Feng's words, he paused and said, raising his voice with a smile: "Oh, so you're the Hua family's son-in-law? You're the groom-to-be tomorrow? Haha, then why aren't you going in? Today is your main event! Oh my, what a pleasure to meet you! I am Jin Huayan, the third son of the Jin family, and everyone calls me Old Third Jin, haha!"
As Jin Huayan spoke, he raised his hand to grab Ling Feng's arm. This seemed like a very intimate invitation for Ling Feng to enter, but in reality, if Ling Feng didn't go in, this fellow would have forcibly dragged him in.
King Kong, standing beside them, saw this scene clearly and his expression immediately darkened, preparing to directly teach this fellow a lesson.
But Ling Feng waved his hand slightly, interrupting King Kong's action.
Just as Jin Huayan was about to grab Ling Feng's arm, Ling Feng stepped forward, skillfully dodging Jin Huayan's move!
Jin Huayan's eyes widened. He thought he was seeing things, but he really hadn't touched Ling Feng's arm.
Moreover, not only did he not touch Ling Feng, but he even leaned forward, almost falling face-first!
After regaining his balance, Jin Huayan couldn't help but turn and glare resentfully at Ling Feng's retreating back: "This kid's skills are not simple. I underestimated him!"
King Kong unhesitatingly stepped forward and pushed Jin Huayan away with great force. Caught off guard, Jin Huayan staggered back several steps. If someone behind him hadn't stopped him, Jin Huayan would have fallen!
"Third Master!"
Someone beside him supported Jin Huayan and then angrily cursed at King Kong.
"Are you blind?"
"Kid, you dare to lay hands on our Third Master? Are you tired of living?"
"Who do you think you are, to dare..."
Before the others could finish their shouting, King Kong turned his head, his gaze sharp as he swept over them.
Those people immediately shut their mouths. Anyone who had met King Kong's gaze understood one thing: they were no match for King Kong.
In King Kong's gaze, they saw a bone-chilling killing intent.
This was definitely a man who had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If they said another word, King Kong would directly kill them without any room for negotiation!
Jin Huayan was also intimidated by King Kong's gaze.
While the few of them were stunned, King Kong and the others had already followed Ling Feng's retreating figure inside.
The commotion at the entrance had also attracted the attention of many people due to Jin Huayan's deliberate laughter earlier.
Therefore, as Ling Feng entered, many people's gazes converged towards them.
Hua Yuxiao's body immediately tensed up. She quickly stood up and looked at Ling Feng with some nervousness.
"Heh heh, Elder Hua, this must be your Hua family's son-in-law, truly imposing. Heh heh, the bride is already getting impatient!"
Suddenly, a voice emerged from Elder Hua's left. It was a middle-aged man with graying temples, exuding an aura of authority. When he smiled, he had a truly heroic spirit.
Although these words were clearly very offensive, especially the later remark implying Hua Yuxiao's nervous movement of standing up, his imposing manner made it seem like he was just joking. If Hua Yuxiao or Elder Hua suddenly became angry,
it would make the Hua family seem petty!
"This person is called Jin Huaming, the eldest son of the Jin family. The Jin family is the family I told you about before, the one that does a lot of business with蛊虫 (gu worms). They are a major family that cultivates蛊虫 and medicinal herbs independently of the Witch God Hall. They hold many recipes for蛊虫 and medicinal herbs, hence their large business!"
Tang Ru explained softly to Ling Feng at this moment.
Ling Feng now knew the other party's identity, but he clearly had little interest in these matters.
Instead, he glanced towards Elder Hua.
With just a glance, Elder Hua instantly understood Ling Feng's intentions. Immediately, Elder Hua gently patted the table, and the surrounding laughter instantly died down.
Jin Huaming also turned to look at Elder Hua. What was going on with this old man? Was he really going to get angry?
"Mr. Jin, please behave yourself. You can joke with this old man, but don't joke with Yuxiao! And definitely don't joke with Mr. Ling!"
Elder Hua's expression was cold, and his attitude was instantly like a different person compared to before Ling Feng arrived.
Clearly, Elder Hua was prepared to escalate the situation!
Jin Huaming was taken aback, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? It seems Elder Hua really values this live-in son-in-law!"
"Bah, he's just a live-in son-in-law, what's so great about him? He even dares to let your bodyguard lay hands on my Third Master Jin! I think your Hua family still hasn't recognized reality, have you? You no longer have any cooperative relationship with Jishi Group. You've already been abandoned by Jishi Group, and you still dare to be so arrogant?! Do you really think our Jin family is here to give you face today?!"
Just then, Jin Huayan from behind rushed in, his scolding unreserved, extremely vulgar!
The atmosphere in the venue immediately became extremely tense.
