Chapter 135: The Li Family's Methods
Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Li Chenfeng’s face darkened. He looked at Chen Feng coldly and scolded, "Chen Feng, what do you mean by this? This is an engagement set by the elders. Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
"Don't be so heartless. Everyone is already dissatisfied with this engagement; why not take this opportunity to just call it off?" Chen Feng said indifferently.
It was clear that Chen Feng wasn't particularly satisfied with this engagement either. No wonder Chen Feng had encouraged me to spend more time with Chen Ling earlier. I had wondered what was going on; I didn't expect there to be such a relationship involved.
"Heh, if you want us to break the engagement, go home and ask your father. But I’ll say this first: as long as Hong’er doesn't give up, I won't easily break this engagement!" Li Chenfeng snorted.
Li Hong, standing to the side, took over the conversation: "Hmph, I definitely won't give up on this engagement. The engagement was proposed by your family back then, and now your family wants to propose breaking it? I want to see where you’ll put your face!"
Chen Feng’s expression was ugly, but he was also quite helpless. The engagement matter was indeed their fault; it was proposed by the previous generation, and he never expected it to implicate his daughter, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Chen Ling’s expression was also very aggrieved, as if she were about to cry. She said angrily, "I don't care! In any case, I don't agree. Whoever agreed to the engagement, you go find them!"
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. There are quite a few people around; don't let others watch the joke!" Wu Yitao hurriedly came over to mediate.
The two sides finally ceased their fire. However, Li Chenfeng immediately turned his gaze to Yu Manling and said, "Since when did you, Yu Manling, have a younger brother?"
"This is a sworn younger brother I recognized this year. What, do I need to report to you separately?" Yu Manling snorted.
"A sworn younger brother? I think it’s a 'sworn' younger brother. Does he satisfy you in bed or something? Finding such a piece of trash—this really doesn't fit your taste!" Li Chenfeng’s direct insult caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop a few degrees.
Everyone around didn't expect Li Chenfeng to dare to insult Yu Manling so bluntly in front of so many people. One had to know who Yu Manling was. Although the Li family’s strength was very formidable now, having many experts didn't mean you could be stronger than others in other aspects. One had to know that Yu Manling was a person who was powerful in many ways.
"Bastard, how are you talking? Li Chenfeng, you are too presumptuous!" At this moment, Huang Laohu and Wu Di also returned.
If it were in the past, they wouldn't have chosen to show their faces and speak at this time, but now it was different. They had already chosen their side, and with so many people in the hall, appearing now was a chance to show off.
However, they underestimated Li Chenfeng’s ruthlessness. Li Chenfeng’s face darkened, and he said with disdain, "Damn, what are two pieces of trash like you doing speaking in front of me? Slap their mouths!"
With that, the middle-aged man beside Li Chenfeng rushed over to lay hands on Huang Laohu and Wu Di. Huang Laohu and Wu Di were startled by the situation. They knew they couldn't withstand an expert like this. If they were really slapped in the face, they would be dead or crippled. I hurriedly rushed over and met his palm with my own.
However, when we clashed, I realized how fierce this guy was. I was pushed back several steps by his strike, and my internal organs felt the pain. A hot current wanted to erupt from my chest, but with so many people present, I didn't want to lose face, so I suppressed it with all my might and swallowed it back down.
The middle-aged man looked at me strangely, and Li Chenfeng barked, "Are you not eating? You can't even hit a person? If you don't get serious, see how I deal with you when we get back!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man shouted and struck again with his palm. This strike was much stronger than the previous one; it even produced a palm wind. It seemed the guy hadn't used his full strength just now. If this strike really landed on me, I felt I might be finished.
Yu Manling’s expression changed, and she shouted angrily, "Li Chenfeng, you dare!"
But it was too late. The middle-aged man’s palm wind had already arrived. At this moment, Zhang Yinuo, who had been quiet all along, rushed over and took the strike head-on. Zhang Yinuo, who was always powerful, was actually pushed back two or three steps by this palm wind, her face flushed, and she didn't look well either. However, the other party looked like nothing had happened.
Yet, the middle-aged man’s expression was very ugly. Having failed to gain any advantage after two strikes, he was somewhat enraged. He shouted and wanted to strike again.
Just then, Wu Yitao shouted angrily, "Li Chenfeng, you bastard! Fighting is not allowed in the banquet hall. Have you forgotten whose banquet this is?"
Hearing this, Li Chenfeng finally relented and hurriedly said, "Forget it, stop. I didn't expect the Zhang family’s little girl to be here too. This really surprises me!"
Seeing the matter stop, Huang Laohu and Wu Di breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to me and Zhang Yinuo, asking, "Boss, are you okay?"
I frowned; my chest was still slightly painful, but I endured it, shook my head, and said, "I’m fine!"
Li Chenfeng felt it was pointless, so he took Li Hong and left. As he left, he didn't forget to say to us, "The game has just begun. Don't end it so easily; it’s only interesting if we play slowly!"
After the other party left, Yu Manling’s expression was heavy. She glared at Huang Laohu and Wu Di and said, "You two, if you don't know when to do what, I don't mind replacing you with someone else!"
Hearing Yu Manling’s words, Huang Laohu and Wu Di’s expressions changed dramatically, and they wanted to kneel on the ground, but were stopped by Yu Manling’s gaze. Yu Manling continued, "You two should have died today for letting my brother get hurt. But considering this is your first offense, you will make up for your crimes in the future. If there is a next time, you know my methods!"
Huang Laohu and Wu Di were sweating profusely, feeling as if they were soaked through. Chen Feng, standing to the side, coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't you think it’s a bit excessive to say this in front of me?"
Yu Manling hurriedly accompanied Chen Feng with an awkward smile and said, "What are you saying? We are old friends of many years; do you still care about this?"
Chen Feng frowned and said, "Who is an old friend of yours for many years? Let me tell you, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Also, don't just harm other people’s children. Yang Yun is still young; what do you mean by dragging him into this?"
