C85 Excluding Pei Family

Old Lady Pei's authority within the Pei family was unchallenged, yet today, these descendants dared to disregard her!

If she didn't discipline them harshly today, what would become of her stature as the family matriarch?

Besides, letting them off would mean all her efforts regarding the mansion had been for naught.

At this point, she had no reason to worry about maintaining appearances!

She was prepared to fight tooth and nail to ensure they relinquished the house!

Right after her outcry, the thugs and hoodlums Pei Jinzheng had previously summoned, along with the Pei family's able-bodied men, quickly encircled the family of four.

Standing at the center, Lin Xuan reassured Pei Jiang and the others, "Mom, Dad, Wife, don't be scared."

He then glared at the onlookers and bellowed, "Anyone who dares to step closer will live to regret it!"

"F*ck! You're nothing but a loser, along with these two old geezers and a woman. What are you even trying to prove?"

One of Pei Jinzheng's cronies pulled out a dagger and lunged at Lin Xuan with a shout.

Lin Xuan's gaze hardened as he seized the dagger and plunged it into the attacker's thigh.

"Ah!"

The man felt an icy chill in his thigh, then saw his pants soaked in blood and passed out from fright.

Lin Xuan, without a second glance, yanked out the dagger and effortlessly snapped it between his fingers.

"Clang!"

The sound of the broken dagger hitting the ground left everyone in shock!

The dagger, forged from solid steel, was incredibly tough—beyond the strength of an ordinary person to break. Yet Lin Xuan did it with ease, using minimal effort.

Lee Moxiang and Pei Jiang breathed a sigh of relief at Lin Xuan's formidable display.

Their once deemed worthless son-in-law had astounded them with his actions today.

He had not only defended them but also protected their daughter.

Above all, his display of strength was both unexpected and thrilling!

It appeared they would be able to leave this place unharmed today.

Pei Jinzheng, seething with frustration, spat out, "Lin Xuan, no matter how tough you are, how many can you really take on?"

Pei Jinzheng had previously been bested by Lin Xuan, and today he was determined to settle the score, with interest!

"Guys, let's go for it! Fifty thousand yuan to the one who takes down Lin Xuan!" he shouted.

Fifty thousand!

That sum not only tempted Pei Qiuyu but also enraged Lin Xuan.

As a gang of thugs charged at him, Lin Xuan remained calm. As they lunged, he delivered a swift kick to the lead thug, sending him flying and toppling the others like dominoes.

Then, like a tiger on the prowl, Lin Xuan leaped into action. With a thunderous punch, he floored another assailant.

The onlookers were left in stunned silence.

In no time, Lin Xuan was a whirlwind of force, scattering his attackers with swift strikes, leaving them groaning on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Pei household was in disarray. Old Lady Pei, Sun Lanping, and others had scurried inside to hide, peering through a crack in the door.

Pei Jinzheng, red-faced with fury and embarrassment, watched as his hired help was swiftly subdued, while Lin Xuan remained unscathed.

Biting back his anger, Pei Jinzheng drew a kitchen knife and stealthily circled to Lin Xuan's flank.

As Lin Xuan dispatched another thug, Pei Jinzheng burst forth, knife raised high, aiming a vicious blow at Lin Xuan's head.

"Hubby, watch out!" Pei Qiuyu's voice pierced the air as she cried out in terror, witnessing Pei Jinzheng's treacherous attack.

"Die, you worthless scum!" Pei Jinzheng bellowed, his blade fueled by a mix of old grudges and fresh rage.

Pei Qiang and his wife were petrified, their legs nearly giving out beneath them.

This was no warning shot; Pei Jinzheng was out for blood.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan's reflexes took over. His leg shot up, sending the knife spinning out of Pei Jinzheng's grasp.

The knife twirled through the air and landed with a metallic clang at Pei Jiang's feet.

Pei Jiang was so terrified that he plopped down onto the ground.

"Dad! Are you okay?" Pei Jinzheng yelled, his voice laced with fury.

At that moment, urine trickled down Pei Jiang's pant leg, the pungent smell filling the air and bringing shame to an unbearable level. Those around them couldn't help but cover their noses.

"I'll kill you..." Pei Jinzheng charged at Lin Xuan in a rage.

But in the next instant...

"Smack!"

A resounding slap struck Pei Jinzheng's face, leaving him dazed.

Another slap quickly followed.

Pei Jinzheng's head reeled, a salty taste in his throat, as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Xuan pointed at him and bellowed, "That slap was for Qiuyu!"

"She dropped the charges, allowing you to walk free, yet you repay her with betrayal, spending 50,000 yuan to have someone set her up! You're lower than an animal!"

"You're spouting lies!" Pei Jinzheng bellowed back. "It was my mother and my sister Shasha who spent a fortune to pull the right strings for my release. It had nothing to do with Pei Qiuyu!"

"Smack!"

Lin Xuan's hand connected with Pei Jinzheng's cheek once more, knocking him to the ground.

"You ungrateful fool. Without Qiuyu, your mother and sister, even your entire family, would be worthless!"

Lin Xuan jabbed a finger at him, his anger palpable. "With just one word from me, you could rot in jail for life!"

Pei Jinzheng scrambled to his feet, shouting, "You're the worthless one, blowing hot air! Your whole family is garbage, nothing but trash!"

But before he could finish, Lin Xuan's foot came down on his hand, grinding it into the ground.

"Ah!"

Pei Jinzheng screamed in agony, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Lin Xuan looked down at him with a frosty gaze and said, "This is the fate you've earned!"

At that point, Old Lady Pei couldn't bear it any longer.

If Lin Xuan had been slashed by Pei Jinzheng, even if it resulted in death, the worst outcome would be a fine.

In her eyes, Lin Xuan was a powerless, worthless son-in-law; his death would be inconsequential.

Yet now, her beloved grandson was injured, her most cherished treasure.

Without a second thought, she charged forward, arm swinging to strike Lin Xuan.

But before her hand could land, Lin Xuan spun around, his eyes sharp and piercing. "Old fool, you're asking for it!"

His hand whipped out, slapping Old Lady Pei across the face so hard she staggered backward, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Lin Xuan stood there, his gaze icy, an aura of deadly intent radiating from him.

Old Lady Pei clutched her face in agony, and despite the pain, a shiver ran through her as she locked eyes with Lin Xuan...

She retreated, fear driving her steps.

The Pei family members watched in shock.

This man had the gall to strike the matriarch?

Yet, despite the assault, not one of them had the courage to intervene on Old Lady Pei's behalf.

The others, summoned by Pei Jinzheng, were too terrified to even twitch.

Pei Qiuyu's heart raced as she observed Lin Xuan, her gaze intense. A tumult of emotions swirled within her, and she felt her cheeks flush involuntarily.

Lin Xuan was not just fighting for himself; he was standing for his entire family, upholding their honor and integrity!

In that moment, no one else dared approach. Lin Xuan took Pei Qiuyu's hand firmly. "Wife, we're leaving."

Sun Lanping protested in anger, "Mom, we can't just let them walk away!"

Old Lady Pei, face crimson with rage, fixed Lin Xuan with a venomous stare. "Let them leave! But from this day forward, Pei Jiang's family shall be barred from our home, stricken from the Pei family records!"

Pei Qiang, his expression a mix of coldness and disappointment, said flatly, "Disowned then disowned. We're better off without such a family."

Lee Moxiang, supporting Pei Qiang's arm, agreed, "Exactly, father. Better off indeed! I've had more than enough."

Pei Qiuyu, brimming with indignation, declared, "Dad, Mom! We're leaving. I have no need for this house!"

Old Lady Pei nodded emphatically, "Fine! Pei Qiuyu, you treacherous wretch, always siding with outsiders! As of this moment, you're terminated from Y Corporation! There's no longer any connection between you and Y Corporation! The Pei family has no place for an unfilial granddaughter like you! Get out, and the farther you go, the better!"

Without so much as a backward glance, Pei Qiuyu retorted, "There's no need for you to fire me; I'll resign immediately! From this point forward, I am no longer part of the Pei family! Mom, Dad, husband, let's leave!"

With those final words, Pei Qiuyu, her eyes blazing with indignation, swept a furious look over the assembled Pei family members. She strode through the doorway, resolute and without a trace of longing.

She had seen their true colors today, clear as day. These so-called relatives were nothing more than manipulators and backstabbers, never once treating her as one of their own.

She once held familial affection dear, but they had wounded her deeply.

Lin Xuan was acutely aware that Old Lady Pei was severing her own lifelines.

The Pei family, every last one of them, were complete fools!

Without Pei Qiuyu, who would Y Corporation even consider partnering with?
