Song Xi, despite the threat, charged forward and tried to snatch the fruit knife from Ye Fei's hand.
However, by that time, Ye Fei had already bent down and crouched, holding the fruit knife against Song Zirong's face.
In that instant, Song Zirong, who was pinned under Ye Fei's foot, was so terrified that he lost all composure, his eyes brimming with unspeakable horror, as he began to scream and plead loudly.
"Don't..."
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"Please, don't kill me; I don't want to die!"
As a visibly terrified and desperate Song Zirong spoke, tears in his eyes gushed out like floodwaters breaching a dam.
Song Haifeng and Wu Xiuhua were so scared that their legs went weak.
"Don't..."
"You waste, if you hurt my son, you'll go to jail too!"
After the initial shock, Wu Xiuhua glared at Ye Fei, full of hatred, and hissed through her teeth.
"You waste, I order you to put down the fruit knife immediately and kneel to apologize to my son!"
However, Ye Fei disregarded everyone's attempts to dissuade him.
He even pushed away the approaching Song Xi.
Then, looking down at Song Zirong beneath him, Ye Fei's face was filled with a fierce expression.
"Scared now?"
"Where did that Arrogant attitude from before go?"
On the ground, Song Zirong was so frightened that he trembled violently, and a puddle of yellow liquid slowly seeped out from underneath him.
"Don't kill me!"
"I was wrong; I really was wrong!"
"Please, don't kill me!"
With a fierce look, Ye Fei gently slid the fruit knife across Song Zirong's face.
"Where did you go wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Song Zirong, with a trembling voice, hastily replied, "I shouldn't have gathered all the company's security guards to publicly humiliate you, to humiliate Song Xi!"
"I shouldn't have, after you beat me, incited my parents to come to your door to settle the score!"
These words instantly cooled the expressions of Zhao Meilan and Song Haifeng, who had still intended to rush forward to help.
Song Xi, who had just stood up on the side, when she heard that Song Zirong was beaten because he publicly humiliated Ye Fei, her face also turned cold in an instant.
Upon realizing what had happened, Zhao Meilan's look at Wu Xiuhua was also filled with anger.
"Wu, do you even have any shame?"
"Clearly, your son was the one who humiliated this waste first, and now you're trying to turn the tables!"
"I'm telling you, even if he's a waste, he is still the Song Family's son-in-law. By publicly humiliating him, your son was also humiliating the Song Family, humiliating the late Elder!"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, even if it means taking this to the matriarch, I will seek justice!"
Ye Fei, having received the answer he wanted, stood up with a sneer and let go of Song Zirong at the same time.
Looking at the gloomy faces of Song Haishan and Wu Xiuhua, his face was filled with mockery.
If it were not for Song Xi's situation in the Song Family, the past humiliations Song Zirong inflicted on Ye Fei would have been enough for him to deserve death a hundred times over.
Song Xi, seeing Ye Fei rise, hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the fruit knife from his hand.
By then, Song Haishan and Wu Xiuhua had already rushed over to Song Zirong's side.
"Son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Song Haishan, looking at the overly frightened Song Zirong, had a face so gloomy it seemed almost dripping with water.
Turning his head to look at Song Haifeng, his eagle eyes were filled with endless fury.
"What a coward you are, look at the good son-in-law you've found!"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let this go!"
Then, Wu Xiuhua, wrapping her arms around Song Zirong while glaring furiously at Ye Fei, said:
"This is outrageous, outrageous!"
"You, a good-for-nothing son-in-law, dared to threaten my son with a knife!"
"I swear I won't let you get away with this!"
Wu Xiuhua said this, her gaze at Zhao Meilan and Song Xi was also full of endless rage and hatred.
"And you two, I won't let you off either!"
"You wanted to seek justice from the Old Madame, didn't you!"
"I'm eager to see whether the Old Madame will protect Zirong or this good-for-nothing that married into the family!"
"You..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Meilan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
With the Old Madame's temperament, it was certain she would protect the eldest son's family without a second thought.
If the Old Madame learned that this good-for-nothing Ye Fei dared to threaten the Song Family's future heir with a knife, she might, in a fit of rage, kick out Zhao Meilan's entire family from the Song Family.
With this thought, Zhao Meilan was suddenly scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
In desperation, Zhao Meilan suddenly turned around and slapped Ye Fei across the face.
"You damned... good-for-nothing, it's all because of you!"
With a crisp smack!
Ye Fei received a solid slap, and his left cheek immediately swelled up.
"You good-for-nothing, do you want to kill our entire family or what?"
"Get on your knees and apologize right now, begging my elder brother's family for forgiveness!"
Zhao Meilan said and even kicked towards Ye Fei with her leg.
"What are you standing there for? Kneel down!"
Upon hearing that, Wu Xiuhua's face was filled with ferocity as she said, "Kneel, wishful thinking!"
"Zhao, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you want my forgiveness, it's possible, just chop off that good-for-nothing's right hand, or else wait for the Old Madame to kick your whole family out of the Song Family!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Meilan was momentarily stunned.
She clearly hadn't expected Wu Xiuhua to be so vicious, to actually demand that Ye Fei's right hand be chopped off.
Ye Fei was already considered useless, if his right hand were chopped off too, wouldn't that make him completely disabled!
What would become of her family, and where would she place her pride then?
"Enough!"
Just then, Song Xi burst out with a cold expression.
Looking at Wu Xiuhua, who was making a scene on the floor, she said with a chilled face, "I address you with respect as my aunt, but please don't go too far!"
"Today's events wouldn't have unfolded like this if you hadn't made an unreasonable fuss!"
"You want to tell grandma, right? Fine, I will call grandma right now and tell her everything that has happened today. Let's see if she really will kick our family out of the Song Family!"
However, just as Song Xi was about to make the call, Ye Fei suddenly reached out and blocked her.
"No need to call!"
"Since this has been caused by me, I will handle it!"
Zhao Meilan, upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly and pulled Song Xi aside.
"You mad girl, are you insane wanting to call the Old Madame? What if the Old Madame really gets angry and kicks us out of the Song Family?"
Zhao Meilan said while looking towards Ye Fei with a sinister face, "You good-for-nothing, why aren't you kneeling down right now and apologizing to my elder brother's family!"
"You troublesome curse, one day, you'll be the death of us!"
However, Ye Fei was deaf to Zhao Meilan's words.
Instead, he looked at Wu Xiuhua's family with a cold sneer.
"Are you sure you want to tell the Old Madame about what just happened?"
Wu Xiuhua glared at Ye Fei with a venomous face and hissed, "Yes, I want to see the Old Madame kick you out of the Song Family and leave you to wander the streets."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
"If the Old Madame was really capable of kicking me out of the Song Family, she wouldn't have waited until now to do so!"
"Don't forget, my marriage with Song Xi was arranged by the Old Master himself before he passed. Unless the two of us voluntarily agree to divorce, even the Old Madame wouldn't dare to kick me out of the Song Family."
"Furthermore, if I really were to be expelled from the Song Family, do you think I would let your family off easily?"
As Ye Fei said this, his gaze at Wu Xiuhua suddenly turned fierce.
"I didn't have an issue with you in the past, that was for the sake of my parents and Song Xi."
"Now the Old Madame itself wants to drive our whole family out of the Song Family, do you think I will still give you any face!"
With that, Ye Fei's eyes sharply turned toward Song Haishan and said, "Don't think that just because you're Song Xi's uncle, I wouldn't dare to hit you!"
