Twenty minutes later.
Inside the Xia family courtyard.
Xia Zhenfeng stood with his hands behind his back, speaking coldly to Hong Lan:
"Can you drive alone?"
"Do you want me to have Shanshan take you back?"
Hearing this, Xia Xiashan immediately stepped forward.
She said gently:
"Aunt Lan, let me take you back. You..."
"Let me take you to a hospital first to check on his condition?"
Xia Zhenfeng added:
"Find a good hospital, I'll pay whatever it costs!"
His stern tone indicated that his anger had not yet subsided.
Lei Siren, who had been dragged into the passenger seat of the car, was completely unconscious.
It was Lin Yu who had helped get him into the seat.
Moving Lei Siren even a tiny bit would elicit groans of pain from him.
Once in the car, he passed out instantly, leaning motionless against the seat.
If he hadn't confirmed that his breathing was normal, Lin Yu would have worried he had died right then and there!
Xia Zhenfeng's outburst this time was a classic case of beating the grass to scare the snake.
He struck without any hesitation, making Lin Yu tremble with fear.
Usually, the more combat power a person possesses, the more mindful they are of their lethality toward ordinary people.
Lin Yu didn't know if Xia Zhenfeng did it on purpose or if he simply lacked that filter in his brain.
It completely stunned Lin Yu!
This had nothing to do with personal strength; it was entirely his stubborn, fierce favoritism toward his daughter that made Xia Zhenfeng willing to do anything at any cost.
Lin Yu couldn't help but overthink...
What if.
What if one day Xia Zhenfeng discovered Lin Yu's identity as a fake boyfriend.
How would he deal with him?!
Today's incident.
It also showed Lin Yu the many faces of the rich.
On one side was Xia Zhenfeng's reckless arrogance.
On the other was Hong Lan's extreme endurance!
"No, no, there's really no need for the trouble."
"Brother Zhenfeng, I already feel very guilty, please don't bother Shanshan."
"I can take him back myself, it's no problem."
"Thank you, Brother Zhenfeng, for showing mercy. When his head is a bit clearer, I will definitely bring him back to apologize in person."
Even though her son had been beaten, she still had to say thank you.
After all.
Apart from teaching Lei Siren a lesson, Xia Zhenfeng hadn't said anything else.
It most likely wouldn't affect the business cooperation between the two families.
For Hong Lan, this was already a very good outcome.
What more could she ask for?
With her son lying in the car in an unknown condition, Hong Lan didn't dare to linger.
Seeing that Xia Zhenfeng didn't reply, she quickly said:
"You guys go on inside, I won't disturb you any longer."
"Brother Zhenfeng, sorry for the trouble!"
"Little Lin, Weiwei, Shanshan, come visit our home when you have time."
"..."
Until Hong Lan completely left the Xia family.
The semi-permanent smile on her face didn't slip even a tiny bit.
Xia Yiwei couldn't help but pull Lin Yu aside, asking in a low voice:
"Little Master, how do you feel?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration:
"Being a mother really isn't easy, and being the mother of a prodigal son is even harder!"
Xia Yiwei shrugged her shoulders and said with a bored expression:
"I wasn't asking how you felt about that... I meant that!"
Lin Yu: "That?"
After a delayed reaction.
Looking at Xia Yiwei's meaningful gaze, Lin Yu finally realized what she was talking about!
Lin Yu: "..."
What time was it?
She still had the mood to joke!
The nurse sister really had a big heart!
But if her heart wasn't big, how could she have been at home today...
"Let's go, don't let a piece of rat shit ruin the mood."
"Little Lin, I heard you can drink quite a bit?"
Xia Zhenfeng's gaze fell on Lin Yu, and his lethality struck again!
This time, it wasn't a posture of wanting to beat someone to death.
It was a posture of wanting to drink someone to death!
Lin Yu could drink?
Who said that?
No one mentioned drinking today!
It wasn't even noon yet, were they going to have a huge drinking session first?
Lin Yu looked at Xia Yiwei, sending out an SOS signal.
It wasn't that his physical constitution couldn't handle drinking.
It was just that since it was his first time visiting, it would be better to hold back a little.
Xia Yiwei seemed to receive Lin Yu's signal and said directly to her father:
"Dad, you're getting on in years, be careful."
"If Little Lin drinks you under the table, the one being sent to the hospital will be you!"
Lin Yu: "???"
Good on this nurse sister!
Is this how she persuades people?

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. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

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?
