"Chen Tianfang, what are you going to do if I don't kneel?"
When everyone heard these words from Chen Haotian, they were completely stunned.
Does the son of Chen Tianfang dare to speak to his father like this?
Is he planning to rebel?
It seems there's some drama within the Chen family.
The members of the minor families felt extremely uncomfortable; they couldn't decide whether to leave or stay. Knowing about the Chen family's dirty laundry would benefit them not at all; on the contrary, it would only provoke Chen Tianfang's resentment.
Gu Wu and Yang Kaidao watched the spectacle from the side, exactly as Chen Tianfang had thought earlier. The alliance of the great families was purely for mutual interests; none of them wanted the other to prosper. Now that the Chen family was airing its scandals, these spectators were delighted to see Chen Tianfang humiliated.
Another spectator was Li Yun.
A father-son confrontation, so exciting to watch, he wouldn't miss it for the world.
"Good!"
"Well said, what can I do to you!"
"I, Chen Tianfang, fathered such an ungrateful son like you!"
"It's wonderful!"
Chen Tianfang laughed, laughing loudly, repeating the word "good" several times, showing his infinite rage.
Chen Tianfang didn't rush to punish Chen Haotian, but instead bowed to the present guests who had come to pay their respects and said, "Gentlemen, my Chen family has some internal matters to attend to, so we won't be able to entertain you. Please excuse us."
Family disgrace should not be aired. Chen Tianfang was not accustomed to settling family matters in front of strangers.
Upon hearing this, the guests felt relieved and, after bowing, left one by one.
Even Yang Kaidao and Gu Wu said their goodbyes, leaving only the Chen family members, along with Li Yun and Gu Yanran.
"Where are the family rules!"
Chen Tianfang shouted, and a thick steel rod appeared in his hand.
"Ungrateful son, I ask you, will you kneel and apologize or do you want me to act according to the family rules directly?" Chen Tianfang held the rod and asked.
Chen Haotian looked away, not even wanting to look at Chen Tianfang.
This was the last chance Chen Tianfang was giving him. But it was also the last chance Chen Haotian was giving his father.
If Chen Tianfang really dared to hit him, the father-son relationship would break completely.
"Good!"
"Ungrateful son, you're amazing!"
"First, you tried to take advantage of Miss Gu, and then you showed no respect to your elders. According to the rules of our Chen family, you will receive fifty lashes."
After Chen Tianfang finished speaking, he raised the rod and prepared to strike Chen Haotian.
At that moment, a young maid dressed in servant clothes ran forward, knelt, and pleaded, "Sir, please don't do this. The young master doesn't understand; I beg you to forgive him this time."
"Xue'er, don't beg him. Let him hit me," said Chen Haotian.
The maid, named Xue'er, didn't move, clinging tightly to Chen Tianfang's pants, hoping he would show mercy.
"How arrogant, how daring! A mere maid dares to interfere in the master's decisions? You're really brave."
"Someone, drag this insolent dog away!" Chen Feiyu ordered, and immediately two guards advanced to drag Xue'er away.
"Let's see who dares!"
Chen Haotian clenched his fists and struck the guards down in one move, placing Xue'er behind him.
"Whoever dares to touch Xue'er, I'll kill them!" Chen Haotian said, showing a fierce expression.
Taking the beating was something Chen Haotian could accept because he was his father, but if anyone dared to harm Xue'er, he wouldn't allow it.
It seems that this maid named Xue'er is Chen Haotian's weak point.
It's good to know your weakness. I just fear you don't have one.
Li Yun, watching from the side, smiled. A despised illegitimate son, accompanied by a lustful maid, Chen Haotian seemed to have no support other than the system.
However, as a protagonist, his greatest ability was turning danger into opportunity. Even though Chen Haotian was in a weak position, Li Yun couldn't lower his guard.
"You say you'll kill anyone who touches this maid. Well then, I'll touch her. Let's see if you dare to kill me."
Chen Tianfang moved forward, grabbing Xue'er's sleeve to drag her away.
"Dare you!"
Chen Haotian pushed his father's hand aside, protecting Xue'er once more.
"This is rebellion, true rebellion! Ungrateful son, you dare to raise your hand against me, how insolent!"
Chen Tianfang, enraged, raised the rod and struck it against Chen Haotian.
Chen Haotian didn't defend himself, letting the rod fall on him.
The strike didn't cause Chen Haotian harm, but Chen Tianfang, from the force of the rebound, stumbled several steps back.
"How insolent, how insolent!"
"I, Chen Tianfang, fathered such an ungrateful son, unbelievable!"
"Someone, capture this ungrateful son and this maid, and give them fifty lashes each until they are disfigured!"
Chen Tianfang shouted, furious.
Today, in front of Li Yun, his son was challenging him, losing all his dignity. He was ready to kill his disobedient son.
"No, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Xue'er knelt again, pleading, "Sir, I am willing to receive the lashes, please forgive the young master, I will bear the punishment."
"Xue'er, don't beg him. Don't worry, I won't let them hit you."
"In a family like this, it's not worth staying. I will take you away by force."
Chen Haotian took Xue'er's hand, determined to take her away if they really tried to hit her.
"Good!"
"You're amazing!"
"Catch these two and beat them until they die!"
Chen Tianfang was so enraged by Chen Haotian's attitude that he was willing to punish him severely.
"Isn't this too cruel, Mr. Chen? Nothing has happened to me, so… maybe we should forgive them," said Gu Yanran from the side, unable to keep watching.
Chen Tianfang punishing his son wasn't much, but Xue'er, a fragile young woman, if she received the lashes, even if she didn't die, would be severely wounded.
The kind-hearted Gu Yanran didn't want such a loyal and protective young woman to be beaten to death.
"This boy dared to harass Yanran. He can't be forgiven so easily."
"Yanran is my girl. Whoever dares to offend her will be my enemy," said Li Yun, seeing Gu Yanran begin to show compassion.
