Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 1002: Just a Coward

Not far away, the corners of Luo Xin’s lips curled up smugly. She had not planned on dealing Ling Sheng a heavy blow through this incident either. She just couldn’t stand her arrogance.

The person she had pinned to the ground thrashing was the young master of the Dongfang Family. The Dongfang Family didn’t get along with Huo Ci and the others because of that person from the Yan Family in the first place. She simply added another problem to let them raise hell over it!

The young master of the Dongfang Family wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He had followed in the footsteps of Huo Ci from the Huo Family. After Huo Xuanzhou, he was the new-generation tyrant of the capital. He had just turned 20 years old and was powerful and influential. He had been doted on by his parents, grandparents, and older sister ever since he was young. His character was impulsive and sinister. Among the younger generation, who wasn’t afraid of him?

Ever since Dongfang Fan had been born, he had never suffered such humiliation—being beaten up by a woman. If word got out, where would his dignity go? He definitely could not let this woman in front of him off. So what if she was Huo Ci’s daughter? Would his Dongfang Family be afraid of their Huo Family?

Ling Sheng also understood the situation now. She had heard that Dongfang Fan was the youngest young master of the Dongfang Family. As he had been born when his parents were much older, he was nearly 20 years younger than his elder sister, Dongfang Meng. He was exactly 20 this year, and he was even younger than Song Yiyan.

In the minds of the older generation, a wife three years older than the husband is like hugging three gold bricks[1]. When the elders on both sides got together, they hit it off immediately and agreed to the arranged marriage.

Su Yi saw that neither of them was speaking and that fire ignited again in their eyes as they stared at each other, sparks flying in the air. A second war was on the verge of breaking out.

“Ms. Su.” Yao Hua had rushed over after receiving Lu Yubai’s call. Luckily, he happened to be nearby. Before long, he had brought someone over.

Upon seeing Yao Hua, Su Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief. She could not let them start fighting again. She hurriedly urged him, “Go quickly. Go and stop them. Don’t let them fight again.”

No reason was needed at all for something like a fight.

On the other end, Ling Sheng shot him a disdainful, mocking look as a challenge. The brainless Dongfang Fan growled furiously again and charged toward her menacingly.

When Yao Hua stepped forward, he stopped him in the middle and smoothly grabbed Dongfang Fan’s arm. He said politely, “Young Master Dongfang, please show mercy. My Fifth Master will be here soon. Everyone, please let us head somewhere else for a chat.”

Dongfang Fan’s eyes were full of aggression. He struggled but did not manage to free himself. He glared at him nastily and bellowed angrily, “Who do you think you are?! Let go!”

He was just Lu Yubai’s assistant, yet he dared to lay his hands on him!

“Young Master Dongfang, please give my Fifth Master face. There are many people here, and it won’t be good for anyone if this matter gets blown up. Right or wrong, my Fifth Master will give you an explanation.” Yao Hua still had a polite smile plastered on his face.

Dongfang Fan let out a skeptical snort and kicked at Yao Hua.

Yao Hua dodged easily and latched onto Dongfang Fan’s arm. He shot a look at the bodyguard beside them and said, “This way please, Young Master Dongfang.”

After Dongfang Fan let out a blood-curdling scream, he started shouting loudly. “Just you wait, I’ll kill you! And that Lu Yubai as well! Tell him to wait too. I won’t let him off. See if I don’t get my sister to kill him!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng let out a laugh. When Dongfang Fan was being dragged past her, she extended her leg to trip him and let out a cold snort. “I thought Young Master Dongfang is a true man. I didn’t expect him to be a coward who only knows how to complain to his elders.”

Dongfang Fan had tripped because of her. If someone had not been holding him up, he would have fallen to the ground and eaten shit. He glared at Ling Sheng viciously and gritted his teeth. “Just you wait too! One who doesn’t avenge an injustice is not a gentleman[2]!”

Ling Sheng laughed out loud and said in a cavalier attitude, “How can you be a gentleman? You’re just a mama’s boy! Do you want me to send you home now to drink some milk?!”

Su Yi ran over and tugged at her. Stop talking. You’ve already infuriated him, yet you’re still provoking him!

Yao Hua walked over. “Ms. Su, Ms. Ling, I’ve already booked a place. All of you should go over and have a seat first. Fifth Master will be there soon.”

With red eyes, Song Yiyan sniffled while holding Ling Sheng’s hand as she followed behind her. Upon seeing Dongfang Fan being taken away, she pursed her lips but did not speak. She didn’t like him, didn’t want to be engaged to him, and didn’t want to marry him either.

However, her parents, Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and Fourth Uncle had all spoken well of him and were forcing her to marry him.

Ling Sheng asked Su Yi first, “Did you ask Fifth Uncle to come?”

Su Yi said, “I was afraid something would happen to you.”

She looked around. Yao Hua had called the security guards over and opened a path for them. Otherwise, they would be eaten alive by the surrounding Little Chilies.

Yao Huaqing cleared a cafe and looked at Dongfang Fan, who was pinned against a chair and still cursing loudly. “What would you like to drink, Young Master Dongfang?”

“F*ck you! Get lost! Yao Hua, you’re just Lu Yubai’s dog. Even if Lu Yubai comes over, he has to apologize to me obediently. If you dare to touch me, just wait to be sent to hell!” Dongfang Fan swore. His eyes were like poisonous knives as they shot onto him. “Let go!”

Ling Sheng, who was drinking milk tea, looked at him and smiled arrogantly and smugly. “Young Master Dongfang is incredible at mouthing off. We’re all civilized people. It’s not nice to talk about fighting and killing.”

Su Yi, who was sitting beside her, reached out to tug at her. My little ancestor, the person was already pissed off in the first place, yet she just had to add fuel to the fire again and again.

“Just you wait,” Dongfang Fan bellowed angrily after being bullied in such a manner. “I won’t let you off! Be careful in the future.”

“Shut up!” Song Yiyan could no longer help herself. She finally mustered up the courage to yell at him.

Dongfang Fan was not frightened by Ling Sheng or subdued by Yao Hua. Instead, he was startled by Song Yiyan’s words. He fell silent as though this was the first time he had met her. He sized her up with interest.

Ever since they had gotten engaged, he had also seen this fiancée of his a few times. She had always been soft and weak without any temper. She looked weak and easy to bully. She had never even raised her voice while talking before. No matter what she did, she behaved submissively.

He hated this kind of person the most. She didn’t know how to reject others. She had a soft personality and was so weak that others would get annoyed when they saw her. However, his parents and older sister had all spoken well of her. They said that her personality complemented his perfectly, so they had arranged this marriage for him.

It didn’t matter to him either. Anyway, as a member of the Dongfang Family, it was impossible for him to call the shots regarding his own marriage. At worst, he would copy Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle—raise a wife at home and play around with women outside. Besides, Song Yiyan’s personality was weak. Even if he brought another woman into the house, she probably wouldn’t even dare to object.
