Chapter 3

C3 – Farce

Everyone was taken aback as they looked at a shocked Lee Su. It seemed they never anticipated he would take such bold action publicly, leaving the entire room in stunned silence.

Lin Yuxing appeared unsurprised by the turn of events. Swiftly lowering his head, he used his younger brother’s momentum to land a powerful kick with his uninjured foot. “Ah...!” Li Fu Lang toppled to the ground, resembling a dog taking a tumble.

“Aiyo!” “Ah Yao Li, that wasn’t intentional,” Lin Yuxing said with a soft chuckle, his eyes gleaming with a chilling glint. Had he not been seasoned by the apocalypse, he might have been at a disadvantage.

“Pei pei pei...! You...” Lee Su began, trying to spit out the grit from his mouth. But before he could finish, Lin Yuxing silenced him.

“Respected Village Head, Li Xiang Yu conspires against me, and this Ah Yao Li seeks to harm me. Shouldn’t he be handed over to the authorities?” Lin Yuxing inquired calmly.

Report to the authorities? No one imagined that Lin of the Lin Family would be so bold. He not only terminated his engagement with Li Xiang Yu but also exposed Li Xiang Yu’s covert visit to his room. Everyone wondered why he chose to reveal this when it seemed he had something to hide.

However, before any further actions could be taken, the village teachers interjected, “Village Head, this scandal has spread far. Do our village brothers still hope to find brides?” While Lin Yuxing might disregard his reputation, they couldn’t.

Lin Yuxing was taken aback. How did his issue relate to the other brothers? But judging from the villagers’ expressions, it was evident that the situation was far from ideal.

“Lin Yuxing! Go to the authorities, and request the elder to have you executed!” declared Lee Su confidently, “My future son-in-law is kin to a top official in the capital city!”

Yet Lin Yuxing wasn’t convinced. “Is that so? I suspect your son-in-law might turn against you first!”

The village chief exchanged a heavy glance with Lin Yuxing, who then proclaimed emphatically, “What’s this? Village head, my fellow villagers, are you all trying to suppress the Lin Family?”

“Lin Yuxing, return home! Don’t shame yourself further!” Out of the blue, an elderly Ah Yao emerged from a courtyard, leaning on someone for support, as he voiced his displeasure.

Recognizing the elder, Lin Yuxing remarked sarcastically, “Grandmother, since you’ve already banished me, now I’ll take the lead!”
