While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Yes, Xiaolin, you have to be pragmatic! Qingyao is already engaged to Su Mingxuan, the eldest son of the Su family. If you and Qingyao get married, it's a slap in the face to the Su family. Name your price, then take the money and leave Minghai City. It'll be enough for you to live a very comfortable life!"

No sooner had Meng Yuanhe finished speaking than a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Meng Jingran spoke up.

"This is my eldest uncle, Meng Boqu!"

Meng Qingyao's expression was very unpleasant, but she still explained the identity of the person who spoke to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng squeezed Meng Qingyao's hand, indicating that she shouldn't worry.

However, Lin Feng found it strange that he didn't see Meng Qingyao's parents present at such an important occasion.

But Lin Feng didn't want to ask too many questions at this point.

"Engaged? Uncle, I heard Qingyao say that she never seemed to agree to this marriage in the first place?"

After calming Meng Qingyao down, Lin Feng looked at Meng Boqu without the slightest fear on his face.

"Hmph, Qingyao's parents are gone, so of course it's up to us elders to worry about her marriage and find her a good matchmaker, so that we can give her parents an explanation in the afterlife."

Meng Boqu snorted and looked at Lin Feng with great dissatisfaction.

Meng Yuanhe's face was also ashen; he hadn't expected Lin Feng to dare to question them.

"A good in-law family?"

Lin Feng smiled wryly.

"What do you mean?"

Although Lin Feng didn't say anything explicitly, his expression and the mockery at the corner of his mouth clearly conveyed a hidden meaning.

"Don't you know that Su Mingxuan drugged Qingyao's drink at yesterday's engagement banquet? You call marrying Qingyao to someone like that a proper matchmaker? Is this how you act as elders?"

Lin Feng spoke without any politeness, looking directly at Meng Boqu and Meng Yuanhe.

"What? Holy crap, brother-in-law, are you serious?"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Meng Bufan jumped up and looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

"Little sister, is what Lin Feng said true?"

At this moment, Meng Jingran, the eldest brother, also looked surprised and looked at Meng Qingyao with a solemn expression. He only knew that Meng Qingyao had slapped Su Mingxuan at the engagement banquet yesterday, making Su Mingxuan lose face in public, but he did not know about the drugging incident.

"Brother, don't you know who Su Mingxuan is?"

Meng Qingyao glanced at Meng Jingran, calling him "Big Brother," but her tone was already tinged with indifference.

Lin Feng is right. If these elders know what the consequences of marrying her off to Su Mingxuan will be, yet still insist on pushing her into a pit of fire, then it's better not to acknowledge such elders at all.

Meng Jingran was speechless for a moment, his face full of guilt and heartache: "Little sister, I... I really didn't know about this. I thought that since Su Mingxuan came to propose marriage, he would definitely cherish you..."

"cherish?"

Meng Qingyao could no longer hold back, her eyes instantly reddening: "Last night he hired some thugs to do those despicable things to me, and he even planned to film it with his phone. Is that what you call cherishing someone?"

"What?"

Upon hearing Meng Qingyao's words, even Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu's expressions changed. Clearly, they were unaware of these matters.

Lin Feng observed Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu's reactions, and his dislike for them lessened somewhat. If these two knew the truth and still acted as if nothing had happened, then he wouldn't need to show them any respect out of respect for their status as elders.

"Damn it, that beast!"

Meng Bufan's eyes were already red, and the anger in them was genuine.

Lin Feng nodded secretly; this Meng Bufan wasn't bad.

"Dad, Grandpa, what Qingyao said is true. In my opinion, we should reconsider the marriage alliance with the Su family! I will never watch my little sister fall into a fire pit like this."

Meng Jingran habitually pushed up his glasses and spoke to Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu in an unquestionable tone.

"That's right, eldest brother is right. Su Mingxuan dares to treat my sister so badly even before they're married. If they really get married, who knows what beastly things he might do to my second sister!"

Meng Bufan clenched his fists and said angrily.

Meng Yuanhe and Meng Boqu exchanged a glance, their expressions grave, and remained silent.

"Hmph, if you ask me, this isn't Young Master Su's fault! The blame lies with Qingyao, that girl who doesn't know what's good for her."

The woman clipping her nails behind them, Meng Qingyao's aunt Meng Yun, spoke with a sharp tongue.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's gaze instantly turned cold and sharp as he looked at Meng Yun.

For some reason, when Meng Yun met Lin Feng's gaze, she felt an inexplicable sense of fear. But this fear quickly turned into anger. She was ashamed that she had been frightened by the gaze of a nobody.

"You little brat, what are you looking at? Am I wrong? If Qingyao hadn't slapped Young Master Su in public, would he have retaliated against her in this way?"

Feeling humiliated, Meng Yun angrily pointed at Meng Qingyao and said aggressively.

"Meng Yun, shut up!"

Meng Yuanhe finally lost his temper and began to rebuke him.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Second Sister was almost... and you're still defending Su Mingxuan?"

Meng Bufan also looked at Meng Yun with dissatisfaction.

"Mom, I told you to talk less!"

Li Zhiheng's face was grim. As a son, he felt that his mother had gone too far.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

Meng Yun, however, stubbornly refused to admit her mistake.

Meng Qingyao bit her lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall from her eyes.

"Oh!"

Lin Feng laughed in anger. He released Meng Qingyao and strode towards Meng Yun and her daughter Li Shuangshuang.

"You little punk, what...what do you want to do?"

Meng Yun panicked a little. When Lin Feng walked towards her, she had a feeling that death was knocking on her door.

"Let me see. How could such a reasonable and understanding junior in the Meng family have an aunt as despicable as you?"

Lin Feng stared coldly at Meng Yun.

Snapped!

At this moment, Li Shuangshuang, who was wearing smoky makeup, suddenly became furious and slapped Lin Feng across the face: "You dare to insult my mother? Who do you think you are?"

This slap was nothing to Lin Feng; he could have easily dodged it, but he didn't.

Meng Jingran, Meng Bufan, and Li Zhiheng all changed their expressions. Even though Lin Feng was an outsider, Li Shuangshuang's actions were still a bit excessive.

At this moment, Meng Qingyao suddenly became jealous, strode over, raised her hand and slapped Li Shuangshuang hard across the face.

With a loud slap, a clear handprint appeared on Li Shuangshuang's face.

"When did it become your place to lecture my man, Meng Qingyao's man?"

Meng Qingyao spoke with a cold gaze, while also wondering why Lin Feng was suddenly so good-tempered.

Lin Feng was also stunned. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. This woman was quite protective of him.

However, he immediately pulled Meng Qingyao behind him, looked at Meng Yun, and said, word by word, "According to your logic, since your daughter slapped me, can I also find a few people to abuse your daughter, film it, and post it online?"
