They say a man's knees are worth their weight in gold?
Lin Yu didn't necessarily think so.
Even the foolish son of a wealthy family had to kneel when he made a mistake.
He had to admit.
Young Master Lei's mother was truly a ruthless woman.
Knowing she couldn't protect her son right now, she had no choice but to beat him half to death herself.
And beating him herself wasn't enough; it looked like she was handing him over to Xia Zhenfeng to be disciplined as well.
Lin Yu glanced at Xia Yiwei.
As the central figure of this brewing storm, Xia Yiwei should be thrilled right now, shouldn't she?
To his surprise.
She was an even more ruthless character!
Xia Yiwei seemed to have anticipated exactly how the situation would unfold.
She had already started putting on an act!
She didn't show the slightest hint of gloating or excitement.
Instead, her face bore a faint look of sorrow.
Looking closely, her eyes were even a little red.
Lin Yu was speechless.
He inhaled sharply.
Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp.
She was absolutely determined to ruin Young Master Lei!
At the dining table.
Hong Lan's grand performance was still underway.
She poked the back of her son's head, speaking with indignant rage:
"Brother Zhenfeng, this little bastard did something so monstrous, you don't need to spare my feelings."
"Beat him! Beat him half to death!"
"Keep beating him today until your anger is gone. I promise I won't say a single word to defend him."
"When we go back today, I'm going to lock him in the house to reflect on his actions."
"In a couple of days, I'll have him come to your door and formally apologize to you again."
"Rest assured, given the relationship between our two families, I can't even forgive him myself for saying such despicable things."
"This won't just end here, and it absolutely cannot end here!"
After finishing her speech.
Hong Lan took two steps back, adopting a posture that clearly left the boy at Xia Zhenfeng's mercy.
Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
How could anyone strike after that?
According to normal logic, Uncle Xia definitely wouldn't hit Lei Siren!
He...
Slap!
A loud slap echoed through the living room.
Driven by the immense force, Lei Siren, who was kneeling on the floor, slid right to Lin Yu's feet.
Such power...
Had he not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe it came from an "old man."
Furthermore.
Under normal circumstances, since they were acquaintances who previously had a decent relationship, it should have been difficult to raise a hand against him.
Since the mother had already shown such a submissive attitude, shouldn't he have held back?
At the very least, out of basic social courtesy, he should have saved her some face and let it slide.
Xia Zhenfeng's actions today had taught Lin Yu a lesson...
Do the truly powerful really need to care about social niceties?
No matter the situation, the one with the hardest fists holds all the power to speak!
If you have to rely on the whims of others, you can only silently endure whatever happens.
Lei Siren groggily raised his head, struggling twice before finally managing to sit up straight.
He looked around continuously, completely dazed.
Such a reaction clearly wasn't faked.
He had truly been knocked senseless by Xia Zhenfeng's sudden, violent strike.
For a few seconds, he probably didn't even know where he was.
Looking at his face, a bright red handprint was already oozing blood.
In a little while, the bloody mark would likely become even more obvious.
Hiss!
Lin Yu took another sharp breath.
You really couldn't afford to provoke Boss Xia!
This was simply too terrifying!
He hadn't held back in the slightest!
"Mom... I... I..."
"I was wrong... I was really wrong. I'll never... never again..."
Lei Siren stammered.
He desperately tried to plead for a chance to get off the hook.
Hong Lan's inner turmoil was written all over her face.
Every cry of "Mom" broke her heart.
One could only imagine how agonizing it was for a mother to be unable to protect her own child.
To make matters worse, her son's current miserable state was a direct result of her offering him up on a silver platter.
Even so.
Hong Lan gritted her teeth and held her ground, speaking with righteous indignation:
"Now you know to call for your mom? It's useless!"
"Brother Zhenfeng, you taught him... well."
"You should help me teach this arrogant brat a lesson. We can't let him off easy."
"He's only had a few good days and he's already getting carried away. He deserves to be beaten!"
Lin Yu secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Incredible!
Those who could mix in this social circle were truly no saints.
Without some real capability, how could they ever rub shoulders with the Xia family?
At that crucial moment.
Weiwei made her move again!
Lin Yu clearly saw her pinch her own arm hard.
Suddenly squeezing out a few crocodile tears...
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
