Ling Feng stared at Lin Xue with icy eyes.
"If you utter another filthy word against Si Qi, I'll ensure you can never speak again!"
His tone was remarkably calm, yet it carried an unparalleled, domineering aura!
For a moment, everyone around was stunned.
Subconsciously, all of them sensed that Ling Feng's identity was far from ordinary.
However, Lin Xue, her face flushed red, how could she possibly endure such humiliation?
"Bah! That slut Lin Si Qi, I'll curse her as I please..."
*Slap!*
*Crack!*
Ling Feng delivered another slap, instantly dislocating Lin Xue's jaw.
Simultaneously, half of her tongue was spat out from her mouth. In the next instant, Lin Xue collapsed to the ground, unconscious and unable to move a muscle!
"Dead, she's dead!?"
Lin Yan, standing nearby, shrieked in terror, jumping up and down!
Lin Xi was also terrified.
This was too brutal!
She had bitten off her own tongue?!
Lin Zhihua shivered all over, finally snapping back to his senses. Glancing at Lin Siming and the others' imposing presence, he immediately understood that Lin Siming's arrival here today was no coincidence.
They were definitely here to find them!
"Who... who exactly are you?! Why did you hit my daughter? I'm telling you, this matter won't be resolved that easily!"
Lin Zhihua still gritted his teeth and threatened Ling Feng.
However, his demeanor was clearly lacking in intimidation!
"Yes, this matter won't be resolved easily. Your family must return every cent you swindled from Si Qi, without missing a single one."
Ling Feng stared at Lin Zhihua and spoke indifferently.
Originally, Ling Feng had no intention of adopting an antagonistic stance immediately upon arrival.
However, after witnessing Lin Xi spitting on the graves of Lin Si Qi's parents earlier, Ling Feng found it utterly unbearable.
This had crossed Ling Feng's bottom line.
There was absolutely no room for negotiation!
Therefore, Ling Feng intended to plunge this family into utter despair!
He had initially planned to treat them as family and have them obediently attend the wedding, hoping to ease Lin Si Qi's heart. But now, Ling Feng had changed his mind.
This family was simply too disgusting. Having them appear at the wedding would be a defilement to Ling Feng.
They were not worthy of appearing at the wedding!
"What did you say? Who asked Lin Si Qi for money?! Who swindled Lin Si Qi's money? Stop spouting nonsense, or I'll sue you!"
Lin Zhihua immediately became agitated, shouting curses while stealthily glancing at the surrounding Lin family members!
It was evident that this man was guilty and nervous!
The surrounding Lin family members had initially sided with Lin Zhihua. But upon hearing that Ling Feng and the others represented Lin Si Qi's parents' side, they immediately understood that this was an internal conflict between the two brothers' families!
Moreover, they were very curious as to when Lin Si Qi had become wealthy!
How had Lin Zhihua managed to get money from Lin Si Qi?
And how much money had he taken?
Judging by Lin Zhihua's previous casual mention of hundreds of thousands, it was clearly not a small sum!
This made everyone even more curious!
Seeing Lin Zhihua and his family's guilty expressions, Lin Siming became even more ashamed and indignant. While his uncle's family had been annoying in the past, they were truly disgusting now!
Lin Shuai Nan noticed Lin Zhihua's furtive glances at the other Lin family members.
Immediately, Lin Shuai Nan's eyes darted around, and then he began shouting at everyone present.
"Heh, don't you all think Lin Zhihua is a rich man? That his son and daughter are successful, right?"
This statement immediately captured everyone's attention.
Lin Zhihua's face turned somewhat pale. Subconsciously, he felt that what Lin Shuai Nan was about to say would be very disadvantageous to them!
But the more they acted this way, the more guilty and flustered they became!
Lin Shuai Nan's mouth was not something they could shut!
At that moment, Lin Shuai Nan continued shouting at everyone: "Let me tell you, except for Lin Zhihua's wife, everyone else has asked Lin Si Qi, my sister-in-law, for money. Lin Zhihua asked for the most, directly taking three million and buying a house in the county town!"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Lin Zhihua's eyes widened, and he furiously cursed at Lin Shuai Nan.
He naturally had to deny it, but he was horrified. How could Lin Shuai Nan know about this?
Besides his wife, no one else knew about this matter!
Indeed, at this moment, Lin Yan and Lin Xi both stared at Lin Zhihua with wide eyes!
"Dad, no way? You're that greedy?!"
Lin Xi exclaimed.
Lin Yan couldn't help but shout: "Dad, you actually asked for three million? I only asked for a little over a million in total, you're too ruthless! I was wondering why this house was so expensive, how could you bear to buy it? Turns out you scammed three million from Lin Si Qi!"
As these two spoke, the surrounding Lin family members exclaimed in unison.
Lin Zhihua's eyes widened further as he glared furiously at the two beside him: "You two idiots!"
With Lin Zhihua's shout, Lin Xi and Lin Yan beside him instantly snapped back to their senses and quickly covered their mouths!
In their excitement, hadn't they just slipped up?
Hadn't Lin Zhihua's denial just been confirmed?
Lin Shuai Nan immediately shouted excitedly: "Hey, still denying it? You slipped up now, didn't you? Let me tell you, this family does have some money, but these guys are too disgusting. They're stingy with their own money, yet they extort and blackmail others, relying on a little kinship! They took a total of over seven million, truly shameless!"
As Lin Shuai Nan's words spread, all the surrounding Lin family members began to murmur amongst themselves.
"No wonder Lin Zhihua has been so generous this year!"
"That's right, even if Lin Zhihua had money before, he was never this generous. Turns out, this money isn't theirs!"
"I'm impressed, how can Lin Zhihua be so shameless?"
"Oh dear, it seems the daughter from the second branch of the Lin family has truly made it. She was fooled out of over seven million by her uncle's family and didn't say a word. She must have struck it rich!"
...
For a time, the surrounding murmuring voices simply wouldn't cease.
Lin Zhihua and the other two turned crimson with embarrassment!
"All of you, shut up! Who said our family's money was extorted from others? Haven't you seen who took care of Lin Siming's parents after they died? If it weren't for us, they would have been bullied to death by the villagers. How could they have gone to school and become successful? Lin Si Qi giving us money is only right!"
Lin Xi, at this point, couldn't help but curse at the people around them.
As soon as these words left his mouth, many Lin family members around felt ashamed for Lin Xi!
Lin Siming cursed even louder: "Lin Xi, you're even more shameless than your dad! When did your family ever care about me and my sister's lives?"
"As soon as my dad passed away, you came to seize our ancestral home! That belonged to my dad, why should you snatch it away?! You practically wished we were dead!"
