Looking at Ye Feng in the wheelchair, Hong Yuting felt a surge of vile courage, last time her grandfather not only demanded of her to marry this crippled man but even slapped her in public because of this cripple.
She had never suffered such humiliation in all her life.
"You cripple, and you, the lame bastard picked up from the streets, what are you still doing standing there, get lost, get the hell out of here now!"
Hong Yuting roared furiously, "A cripple and a lame one at that, insist on making a fool of themselves in public. If you don't feel ashamed for yourselves, you've lost all the face of our Hong Family!"
Eldest Grandson Hongwei stepped forward and pointed at Ye Feng's nose, spelling out each word, "Listen well, dogs and cripples are not allowed inside the gates of the Hong Family!"
Ye Feng looked at him coldly, suddenly wanting to laugh in his heart. When had he, the Northern Border King, been stopped outside someone's door?
In the past, not to mention this little Jiangdu business tycoon, even the nobles in the imperial city would tremble with fear when they heard he was coming to visit, personally sweeping the floor and welcoming him at the door.
"Listen well, no one in this world dares to block my way. Get lost right away, out of consideration for Old Master Hong, I won't hold you accountable!"
Ye Feng spoke calmly, for in his eyes, the likes of arrogant scions like Hongwei were no more than crawling ants.
To quibble with ants would only demean himself unnecessarily!
Hongwei immediately flew into rage, "Who the hell do you think you are, demanding that I, the young master, to get lost?"
"You two, come here and throw this cripple out!"
The two security guards naturally recognized the young master of the Hong Family and stepped forward without a second word.
Ye Feng remained unflappable as before; these people, like ants, were beneath his notice to even lift a hand.
Just as the two security guards grabbed the wheelchair and tried to throw it out...
"How dare you!"
Seventeen moved, his tall frame pouncing like a fierce tiger.
With two bangs, the two security guards were sent flying out three meters.
The commotion outside immediately alarmed the people in the hall. Master Hong walked out with the stride of a tiger, followed by a charming youth around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
"What's going on?"
"Grandpa, this cripple, he started a fight!" screamed Hong Yuting on the spot.
"Nonsense, it was clearly you who blocked the way and even tried to throw Big Brother Ye out. Big Brother Ye was forced to strike back in self-defense!"
Hong Qingyan argued, only disputing when her grandfather was present because it was the only time arguing could be effective.
Hongwei shouted angrily, "Shut up, you wild seed, it's none of your business to speak here!"
"The one who needs to shut up is you!"
Old Master Hong's eyebrows shot up in fury as he pointed at Hongwei, "You dog, Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest. Not only did you obstruct him, but you also dared to throw him out. Have you lost your mind?"
Saying this, he raised his hand to slap him.
The young man behind him quickly stepped forward and said, "Chairman, today is your seventieth birthday, and the guests are watching. Doing this would be beneath your dignity."
Master Hong thought it over and felt it made sense, so he lowered his hand and turned to Ye Feng with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn't know you were coming over, or I would have personally invited you."
Ye Feng said, "No problem, I just came on a whim, mainly to accompany Qingyan."
Master Hong glanced at Hong Qingyan and asked, "How are you doing, did that ignorant servant harm you just now?"
Ye Feng looked up at him and countered, "Do you think, with just those two, they could harm me?"
Upon hearing this, Master Hong burst into hearty laughter.

However, Ye Feng suddenly added, "But, they just touched my wheelchair."
Old Master Hong's laughter ceased abruptly, and he flung his hand, "Bring someone, throw those two security guards out, break both their hands, pay them triple the Settlement Fee, and let them get lost!"
Afterward, the old master walked over, personally pushed the wheelchair, and slowly entered the hall.
The guests in the hall had already noticed the commotion outside and were now stunned to see Old Master Hong personally pushing a young man in, one by one.
And the handsome young man who had been following behind Hong Zhenguo looked at Ye Feng's back, his face slowly showing an intriguing expression.
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable, what's gotten into your old master? Is he possessed? Or has he been bewitched?" A few wealthy young masters outside exclaimed in amazement.
"Damn it, this cripple, what's so special about him? Even if he married Hong Qingyan, he is still just, a son-in-law who joined our Hong Family. Why would grandfather treat him like that?" Zhangsun Hongwei roared angrily.
Hong Yuting clenched her teeth and said, "I will remember this humiliation, this Mr. Ye, one day, I will make him kneel before me and apologize!"
The young man in the white suit shook his head and said, "Actually, if you want to humiliate that cripple in public, even drive him out of the Hong Family, you do not have to go to such lengths."
Zhangsun Hongwei immediately asked, "Chu Tiange, do you have a way?"
Chu Tiange smiled and said, "Of course, there are ways. Since Old Master Hong is so protective of him, you might as well bypass the old man..."
"Bypass the old man?" Zhangsun Hongwei furrowed his brows, clearly lacking in intellect.
Hong Yuting spoke firmly, "Chu Tiange, I know that the Chu Family has always wanted to have a marital alliance with the Hong Family, and you have intentions toward me. So, I will give you a chance."
"Tonight, I don't care what methods you use, you must humiliate that Mr. Ye severely, and best make him leave the Hong Family for good. If you can do that, then consider the first test a success!"
Chu Tiange's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"
Hong Yuting scoffed coldly, "I, Hong Yuting, am the belle of Jiangdu, when have my words not counted?"
Zhangsun Hongwei walked over and patted Chu Tiange on the shoulder, "That Mr. Ye, now considered half a son-in-law to our Hong Family, if you want to be our son-in-law, you can't lose to him."
Chu Tiange laughed, "A cripple? You compare him to me? Is he worthy?"
At this moment, the Hong Family hall was brightly lit, with clusters of Jiangdu's business elites in suits and leather shoes, holding wine glasses and conversing.
Although everyone was curious about the young man whom Old Master Hong had personally wheeled in, the old master didn't seem to want to introduce him, so naturally nobody dared to disturb him rashly.
Ye Feng sat at the most secluded dining table at the back, eating the vegetarian meal prepared by Hong Qingyan at his leisure.
Even though the hall had all sorts of delicious dishes and fine wines from various regions, he wanted none of them, only eating plain porridge with cabbage.
Hong Qingyan couldn't bear to watch and said, "Big Brother Ye, should I get you some nice food?"
Ye Feng shook his head, "No need, none of the food here is as delicious as your plain porridge and cabbage."
At these words, Hong Qingyan was overjoyed, thinking her efforts were not in vain.
Ye Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, Qingyan, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
"No..." Hong Qingyan replied softly, looking down.
"Then why aren't you going?"
"Grandfather ordered that I must take good care of you first..."
"Bullshit, even your grandfather has to listen to me!"
Ye Feng spoke sternly, "Now I order you, go and have your meal immediately!"
Hong Qingyan murmured acknowledgment and then slowly walked toward the front.
For some reason, watching her frail, solitary figure and her distinctive limp, Ye Feng's heart, usually as hard as steel, suddenly ached without warning.
