couple, essentially using each other as shields."Big brother, the newspaper reported about us a while back, so my family has been getting a bit worried. (..tw good looking novel) I guess because I'm...So, as Rong Ling approached, her voice rose in a sharp cry. This time, she called out to Rong Fei for help.

"Fifth Brother!"

But Rong Fei Wu, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't get up. He just sat there silently, watching everything with a pair of eyes that she couldn't quite make out.

As for the maid at home, she had been informed of Wu Fei's matter beforehand, so even though Du Caixin cried out loudly and frantically, they did not come out.

Du Caiyi didn't understand what was going on, and she panicked. However, Rong Ling had already moved in front of her. She retreated in fear, but Rong Ling pushed her against the stair railing with the momentum. She screamed in fright, reaching out desperately to grab the railing to steady herself. Rong Ling took advantage of this opportunity, using his height advantage, to forcefully press Du Caiyi against it with his arm. His powerful palm slapped Du Caiyi's face hard, leaving her momentarily dizzy and disoriented.

But Rong Ling wouldn't give her a chance, the second slap came immediately.

His hand was so strong, that slap sent a jolt through Du Caixin's entire jaw. She could feel a sharp ache and a tingling sensation of blood. Caught between shock and pain, her eyes widened, her meticulously crafted face contorting in an instant, her gaze flashing with intense humiliation.

"You—"

Before a single syllable could be uttered, "slap —" Rong Ling delivered her third slap.

"Such a stinky mouth, it deserves to be taught a lesson!"

This slap was heavy, immediately causing Du Caiyi's mouth to bleed.

Du Caiyi was both terrified and pained, struggling with all her might. However, there was no use; her martial arts skills were simply too far inferior to Rong Ling's. She couldn't escape his grip at all. And then, Rong Ling's fourth slap followed. Du Caiyi tried to dodge by turning her head, but Rong Ling's palm seemed to be targeting her mouth with laser-like precision. No matter how she dodged, his big hand still slapped down without hesitation, leaving Du Caiyi spitting out blood immediately.

Fei Wù was originally watching quietly, but seeing this scene, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but narrow. After Rong Ling slapped him again, he spoke.

"Rong Ling, enough! Stop fighting!"

When Rong Ling was at the peak of his rage, Rong Fei Wu's pleas only served to pour gasoline on the fire in his heart.

"Enough! How is this enough!"

He glared coldly at Rong Feiwu, his voice low and accusatory. "If she has the audacity to insult people, she must be prepared to face the consequences. My people, Rong Ling's people, are not to be insulted!"

"She's your stepmother after all, a few hits won't matter. Otherwise, if it gets out, it won't sound good."

"Not good-looking!" He mocked loudly. "Is she not good-looking, or are you not good-looking!"

He unceremoniously exposed Rong Feiwu's hypocrisy.

A blush of embarrassment flashed across Rong Fei's face. There was no such thing as a wall that wouldn't leak wind. With Rong Ling visiting for the second time today, the other brothers would definitely come knocking to find out his purpose. Du Caiyi had been beaten too badly, and her face would also be pale and lacking in color.

A sneer once again appeared on Rong Ling's face.

“You are so concerned about face, afraid of what others might say. Just control your wife and yourself! You know what you did to deceive my mother. She was the most innocent one from start to finish. It's despicable that Du Caixue is such a spineless woman who can’t control her husband and just seeks out other women to vent her anger.”

After finishing his words, he slapped Du Caixin again. Fueled by anger, this slap knocked out one of Du Caixin's teeth. However, Rong Ling still felt no sense of satisfaction. His mother, after hearing Du Caixin's vicious insults, was now so angry that her chest ached and she couldn't even get out of bed. How could he let Du Caixin get away with it so easily!

"If it weren't for that time period back then, if my mother hadn't been so soft-hearted, you..."

Rong Ling glared at Rong Fei Wu, then angrily turned her gaze to Du Cai Yi.

"And if it's Du Caiyi, she will be sued." He called her name directly.

"You deserved this downfall. How dare you, such a disgusting woman, run rampant and try to harm others!"

Another heavy slap landed!

Du Caiyi was beaten, and finally couldn't help but howl like a pig being slaughtered. Rong Ling was truly ruthless; he beat her until her mouth was full of blood, yet he still didn't stop. That mouthful of bloody stench brought Du Caiyi to the brink of terror. Her pupils widened in alarm, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Rong Feiwu, shooting him a desperate plea for help.

Rong Ling slapped him again, sending a mouthful of blood flying.

Du Cai Yi's pain was evident, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Fengwu was embarrassed by Rongling's words. After all, he was Rongling's father! How could his son speak to him like that Besides, Du Caixue had already been beaten up badly enough. If they continued, she wouldn't be able to go out in public anymore. Wouldn't this make everyone laugh at their family

He rose to his feet and strode toward Rong Ling.

Rong Ling felt it, but just sneered. Hearing Rong Fei Wu come to his side, he roared again.

"Enough, this matter didn't spread today at all. You've hit it so many times, it should be enough now!"

Since it's not being spread around, that's enough!

Rong Ling sneered at Rong Fei Wu. “Your logic is truly childish. You can convince yourself, but you can’t convince me!”

Rong Feiwu immediately flushed, but facing Du Caixin's pleading eyes, he still extended his hand and grabbed Rong Ling's arm.

"That's enough, I'll have her apologize to you, to your mother!"

So what!

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Acting like they're so wronged and unwilling!

"No---"

It was Du Caixin who hastily denied Rong Feiwu's accusation. Despite being beaten to this state, her mouth aching so badly that it almost twitched, she still mustered all her strength to utter that single word. With her pride, even if she were killed, she wouldn't apologize to that woman. If she did, she would be bending the knee, and she would never allow herself to bow down to that woman!

Rong Ling immediately found it very interesting. He looked at Rong Fei Wu and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Look, you heard that!"

Feng Fei was a little angry and glared sternly at Du Caiyi, feeling that she was being too disrespectful. Was he stepping down for someone Was he saving someone!

"You have to apologize for what you did!"

"Nonsense!" Rong Ling scoffed completely. "A mere apology, to erase all this That's too cheap. Du Caiyi isn't the Queen of England, who cares about her apology!"

Du Caiyi was humiliated, her eyes bulging like goldfish.

Rong Lingxie pulled the corner of his mouth into a wicked smirk, looking at Du Caiyi who still held a sliver of pride. With a burst of strength, he tore open Rong Feiwu's hold on him. His large palm clamped down on Du Caiyi's jaw, squeezing with such force that it was almost like crushing her jawbone.

"I know you old women like you, lived long enough, afraid of nothing. But don't forget, you still have a pair of children. Especially, your son is about to go to that ghost place. If you don't know what's good for you, I'll start by operating on your son first."

He gave her an extremely sinister smile, his teeth bared. He stared into Du Caiyi's terrified and frantic breaths, then suddenly let go of her hand.

You will never underestimate my methods!

But it was followed by another slap, this time landing heavily on Du Caiyi's head, leaving her dizzy and seeing stars. However, Rong Ling's last words, spoken amidst the chaos of her thoughts, pierced her mind like a sharp arrow, sending a shiver down to her very core.

Rong Ling, she's really good at grasping people's weaknesses!

Rong Qikeng, and her daughter Rong Qixiang, are precisely the two people that Du Caoyi cares about most!

But his words made Rong Feiwu, who was also the father of that pair of children, feel uncomfortable.

"That's enough! He's suffered enough already!"

He reached out again to stop Rong Ling, but Rong Ling rudely brushed him aside. Rong Ling then gave Rong Fei Wu a powerful shove. Though he had some skill, being an old man, how could he possibly fight against the youthful and vigorous Rong Ling!

He was pushed and staggered, tumbling down three steps before managing to regain his balance. As he looked up, anger flickering in his eyes, a cold and sharp mockery rang out from Rong Ling's lips.

"Well, are you going to speak up for him again"

His sinister gaze revealed his immense anger. Rong Feiwu felt a chill run down his spine when he was looked at by that gaze. Rong Ling's sharp features, due to Rong Feiwu looking up at him, seemed incredibly clear and distinct.

That -- he had a face rather like his!

This—is also his son!

He suddenly remembered that since his son, from the moment he was beaten up, had never called him "Dad" again.

He remembered again, Rong Qi carrying someone on his back and telling him those words!

A jolt ran through his heart, his scalp tightened, yet he stared straight at Rong Ling with a serious expression.

"Du Caiyi, I will take care of her!"

This is a promise!

But he was disappointed to find that his son, seemingly didn't believe him, showing not a flicker of emotion on his face at his promise!

Is he truly heartbroken So, is it difficult to regain his trust anymore

He sighed inwardly, then turned and went downstairs. To Du Caixin's incredulous gaze, he said:

"Mind your own limits!"

However, regardless of what happened to Du Caiyi being beaten, it also allowed Rong Ling to let go and do whatever he wanted. All he could do was give his final warning!

"Ugh..."

Du Caoyi's mouth ached so badly she couldn't speak, only letting out a shrill cry. But soon she was slapped several times by Rong Ling, leaving her with nothing but whimpers. Then, in the midst of dizziness and ringing ears, she fainted from the pain. Her whites of her eyes were like those of a dead fish!

This is so unrealistic!

He reached out to her, mockingly, and Rong Ling woke her with a slap. Then he began another barrage of insults. After she fainted again, he let go of her. And she, like a puddle of mud, went limp and fell onto the uneven stairs that could easily trap your feet.

No one to help!

With a grimace, he wiped the blood from his hand onto her sleeve. He went downstairs and stood coldly before Rong Feiwu, sneering.

"You don't have to worry about her, it doesn't matter. Anyone who dares to disrespect me, I will return the favor tenfold!"

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

This is truly his bullying style!

This repayment will also count in the money owed to Wing Fei Wu.

The coldness in his eyes terrified Rong Fei.

"Rong Ling!"

He reached out to grab him.

The outstretched arm hung in the air, a final thread connecting him to Rong Ling.

But Rong Ling grabbed his arm and ripped it open!

Then, without a backward glance, he left with a cold face!

Rong Fei Wu was stunned!
