“You can voice your grievances, but if you try anything, we won’t allow it!” declared Lin Cheng firmly. He might not have many skills, but he possessed the physical strength honed through years of farm labor since childhood. He had never lost a fight.

That was why, despite the Lin family’s previous poverty, few dared to bully Lin Miao. Lin Cheng had been trained to defend Lin Miao, and now, he was ready to use that strength to protect his biological sister.

“If you’re going to attack, bring it on. I won’t back down today!” Tian Hai’s father spoke as he swung the club once more. His two companions joined in the assault.

Lin Cheng and Lin Hun exchanged a knowing smile and retaliated. Despite being outnumbered, they held their ground well.

Three men stood behind Tian Hai’s father, hesitating to engage but glaring fiercely at Gu Zi.

Li Hua stepped forward, pulling Gu Zi back and positioning herself by her side. “Sister, don’t worry. Your brother can handle this.”

Gu Zi felt a rush of apprehension; this was an unfamiliar and intimidating situation for her.

She hadn’t anticipated Li Hua, who usually appeared timid, to display such composed assurance amid the conflict.

The commotion had drawn the attention of numerous villagers. Amid the crowd, Li Zhu maneuvered his way to stand in front of Gu Zi and Li Hua.

He shouted at the group, “Tian Hai’s disgraceful actions have already violated public laws and societal morals, insulting women and committing other illegal and criminal acts. Please stop picking quarrels and causing trouble. Otherwise, when Brother Shen returns, be prepared for Tian Hai to face legal consequences!”

As soon as Li Zhu said this, Tian Hail s father and his lackeys halted their aggression. They said that they would not fight anymore and that they just wanted an explanation for the matter.

Tian Hail s father recalled Su Shen’s intentions to press charges against Tian Hai. Su Shen wasn’t apprehensive about facing legal repercussions for assaulting Tian Hai.

It was Su Jing’s persistent pleas had spared Tian Hai from police involvement. However, influenced by others’ provocations, Tian Hails father acted impulsively, seeking retribution against Gu Zi.

Realizing the repercussions, if he caused harm to Gu Zi, Su Shen might not spare the Tian family from consequences.

Furthermore, facing these two big guys, they couldn’t gain any advantage. Instead, they ended up taking a few punches and kicks for nothing.

Lin Cheng and Lin Hun released their hold and returned to Gu Zi’s side, confronting the opposing group.

Gu Zits courage swelled. She spoke icily, “Your son is involved with Su Jing and continues to pursue other women. He even attempted to defame me. If he hadn’t cursed me in front of Su Shen and if Su Shen hadn’t witnessed it, he wouldn’t have struck Tian Hai.”

The people outside the door sighed. They had long perceived Tian Hai as untrustworthy, despite Su Jing’s fondness for him. When they initially heard about Su Shen nearly crippling Tian Hai’s leg, it had stunned everyone.

Su Shen had always been composed. Although reserved, he seldom glared at people with fiery eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now they comprehended that Tian Hai, this despicable individual, had actually targeted Gu Zi. It was utterly repulsive.

Everyone also knew that earlier, Aunt Fang had been involved with Tian Hai and had tried to falselv accuse Gil Zi of mistreating Sli Ting-

Tian Hai’s father understood his son’s nature all too well. Put bluntly, Tian Hai resembled his younger self. He believed they hadn’t done anything wrong; it was these women who couldn’t resist his son’s allure.

It was just that Gu Zi knew how to pretend. If it wasn’t for the fact that Su Shen was richer, wouldn’t she have been slept with by his son?

He insinuated, “If you hadn’t seduced my son, would he have paid you any attention?”

Gu Zi scoffed, “I grew up in a military compound. I have standards far beyond what you imply. Why wouldn’t I value a decent man like Su Shen, and instead get involved with your useless son? Merely being a woman in your eyes equates to seduction? Then why don’t you all go live on another planet?”

Tian Hai’s father quivered with rage. In her eyes, his only beloved son was nothing more than trash!

The others from the Tian family found themselves speechless, unable to formulate a response.

The villagers outside the courtyard erupted into applause and cheers. It was evident that the Tian family was capitalizing on Su Shen’s absence to unleash their fury on Gu Zi.

Little did they know, encountering Gu Zi’s family turned out to be an unfortunate coincidence for them. Even if they couldn’t triumph, they still insisted they couldn’t lose—a rather ludicrous stance.

Tian Hail s father held it in for a long time before he finally said, “You… you’re simply irrational. My son isn’t as awful as you portray!”

Gu Zi furrowed her brow, assessing him with a cold disdain evident on her otherwise beautiful face.

In that moment, the onlookers grasped that Gu Zi’s usual friendliness stemmed from her being a kind-hearted person and offering respect. However, they now understood she wasn’t weak nor easily intimidated..
