Ling Guozhi immediately caught his wife and shouted at his eldest daughter, "How can you treat your Aunt Fang this way? She's your elder, after all. Come on, apologize to your Aunt Fang!"
Ling Yiran looked at her father coldly. She used to work hard to gain his approval so that he would treat her like how he treated Ling Luoyin, but it all turned out to be wishful thinking.
Finally, she had given up completely. "Apologize? What do I have to apologize for? You expect me to crane my neck toward her and let her hit me if she wants to hit me? If she wants to scold me or even my mother, I have to let her? Do I have to be more explicit about who wronged my mother in the first place?"
There was a flash of embarrassment on Ling Guozhi's face, but then, amid Fang Cuie's screams, he said, "So what if Aunt Fang hits you? Why don't you tell me the dirty deeds you've done to your little sister? If it hadn't been for you, she wouldn't have been dumped."
Ling Yiran sneered. "Why don't you ask her what she did?"
"What dirty deeds can your sister do? Come on, apologize to your Aunt Fang!" yelled Ling Guozhi angrily.
Fang Cuie just kept yelling, "She hurt me. I'm going to report it to the police. I'm going to sue her for hurting me! With intent to murder!"
Ling Yiran paid no attention to the couple. She turned to Zhuo Qianyun and said, "I'm sorry, my personal affairs have affected the restaurant's business."
"It's nothing," replied Zhuo Qianyun. She had started evacuating the customers one by one just now.
Ling Guozhi watched as his eldest daughter ignored them. Feeling at once that his authority as a father was being challenged, he rushed straight ahead and was going to hit Ling Yiran again.
Ling Yiran was about to get out of the way when suddenly a figure pulled her straight back. That person kicked Ling Guozhi with one foot, sending him to the ground.
Ling Guozhi dizzily tried to get up but was quickly pinned down by a man.
Fang Cuie was stunned by the incident and subconsciously screamed, "What are you trying to do? You're hitting someone in broad daylight. I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"
