Chapter 391: Fortunately, I Still Have You Tonight

The leading man lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Ma wants us to teach a lesson to this delivery guy. Better not mess with him, let’s scram!"

He waved his hand and quickly left with his men.

It turns out that Ma Jialiang was jealous of Wei Qingxue marrying Lin Fan and found people to look for an opportunity to beat up Lin Fan.

However, Lin Fan, being a delivery guy, was always elusive. They found out that it was Elder Wei’s birthday tonight, and Lin Fan would definitely attend, so they came to ambush here.

After Lin Fan and Wei Qingxue separated, they wanted to rush over, but Wei Tang and his people were a step ahead, so they decided to wait for a bit.

Who would have thought they’d witness Lin Fan teach Wei Tang and his group a lesson?

They didn’t want to end up like Wei Tang, so they decided to retreat!

Lin Fan, however, didn’t notice the presence of this group and rode his electric bike back home.

Wei Tang and the others hurriedly fled back to the Wei Family Mansion, looking utterly disheveled, even struggling to walk steadily. Anyone who saw them would feel pity.

"Damn it! That damn delivery guy actually dared to hit us. Let’s report this to Grandfather!"

"That’s right, let Grandfather stand up for us!"

"We can’t let him off just like that; he’s such a bastard!"

The few of them chimed in angrily.

Wei Tang scolded, "Shut up, all of you! When we go in, we absolutely cannot say that Lin Fan hit us!"

The few didn’t understand, "Why?"

Wei Tang said, "I’m already embarrassed enough tonight, being hit by this delivery guy. If people found out and it spread, do I still have any face left to show in society? Ah, it hurts so much!"

Hearing this, they reluctantly agreed.

Once inside.

Elder Wei was having dinner, and upon seeing their disheveled state, particularly Wei Tang with his swollen face, he was shocked.

"What happened?" Elder Wei asked in surprise.

Wei Zihan was also anxious and asked, "Did you guys get beaten up? Who did it?"

To think someone dared to beat the eldest young master of the Wei family like this was simply audacious.

Wei Tang quickly said, "We didn’t get beaten up; we accidentally fell by ourselves..."

By this time, Lin Fan was already on his way home, not at all worried that Wei Tang would tattle to Elder Wei.

In his eyes, Elder Wei was nothing to be concerned about!

When Lin Fan got home, he found that Wei Dazong and Li Xueyan had already returned. Though they left later, they drove, so they were faster than Lin Fan.

At this moment, Li Xueyan was very emotional, blaming Wei Qingxue for standing up to Elder Wei today; now Elder Wei was deliberately picking on Wei Qingxue by giving her such a big task.

At the banquet, Li Xueyan was practically in a state of retreat all night. Now back home, it seemed she was on her home turf.

Seeing Lin Fan enter, Li Xueyan grew even more agitated, pointing at Lin Fan’s nose and scolding, "You useless thing, you embarrassed us entirely tonight, don’t you know?"

"Who did you think you were provoking? Wei Zihan and Wei Tang are not people you can mess with. You probably got humiliated and mocked, right? Dragging my name through the mud, ungrateful and overestimating yourself!"

"That’s not all, Elder Wei asked you to move a vase, and you wouldn’t even do it. How could you be so stupid, offending Elder Wei? Will we ever have good days in the future? Are you deliberately trying to ruin us?"

The more Li Xueyan scolded, the angrier she became.

Lin Fan chuckled lightly, "Elder Wei is already biased towards Wei Tang; compromising himself won’t help, will it?"

Li Xueyan was furious, "How dare you talk back while I’m scolding you! No wonder you dared to be so presumptuous at Elder Wei’s birthday banquet. Are you brain dead?"

Mother’s scolding was too harsh, prompting Wei Qingxue to speak, "Mom, Lin Fan isn’t wrong. They are targeting us."

Li Xueyan replied, "Don’t defend this good-for-nothing. If it weren’t for you marrying this loser, would we be in this situation?"

Wei Qingxue said, "I’m just stating the facts. I don’t want to argue with you. Solving the funding issue is our top priority now."

Li Xueyan turned to look at Wei Dazong, "What do you think about this?"

"If even the old man is at a loss, what can I do?" Wei Dazong spread his hands helplessly.

Li Xueyan stomped her foot, exclaiming in frustration, "Why am I so unfortunate!"

"Qingxue, if only you married a rich man, you wouldn’t have to worry about money! I say, you should divorce this loser while you’re young and find a good family again!"

Wei Qingxue unhappily said, "Mom, why do you still want me to remarry? Haven’t I made myself clear?"

Li Xueyan glared, "What’s wrong with remarrying? Any man off the street is better than this loser! If it weren’t for me being old, I’d remarry too!"

Wei Dazong: "..."

Wei Qingxue said testily, "Mom, what’s the point of saying all this? Why not let me have some peace!"

Li Xueyan said, "Silly girl, I’m doing this for your own good. Why waste your youth on this good-for-nothing!"

She then turned to Lin Fan, continuing to scold, "You loser, if you had any consideration for my daughter, you’d get out of here voluntarily. You’re not fit to be my son-in-law!"

"Enough!" Wei Qingxue got emotional, "I’m telling you clearly, I won’t divorce Lin Fan! Tonight, everyone else mocked me, yet he alone stood by me, willing to speak up for me!"

As she spoke, her eyes started to redden with grievance.

At the same time, she suddenly realized that Lin Fan’s actions warmed her heart. Despite Lin Fan being brought in as her shield, tonight, he was indeed the only one by her side.

For someone isolated like her, this was incredibly rare.

Li Xueyan was rendered speechless. During the banquet, she and her husband were indeed afraid to speak much for fear of offending Elder Wei.

"I can’t even look at you!" In frustration, Li Xueyan stormed off to her room.

"I’ll go check on your mother. Xiaoxue, don’t worry too much about this matter; let’s think it over and rest early," Wei Dazong also exited.

Wei Qingxue silently turned and went into her room.

Lin Fan followed her in. He saw Wei Qingxue sitting on the bed, head down, lost in thought.

Lin Fan walked to the bed, took a cushion, and placed it on the floor along with a pillow and a thin blanket.

Knowing Wei Qingxue was upset, he decided not to disturb her.

Suddenly, Wei Qingxue looked up at Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, thank you. I’m really lucky to have you tonight."

Lin Fan waved it off with a smile, "It’s no big deal. Don’t forget, you hired me as a shield. I took your money; it’s my duty."

"Mm..." Wei Qingxue didn’t know what to say; she felt Lin Fan had already gone beyond his duty.

Two lines of silent tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Lin Fan, you jokingly said you’d help me. If only you really could, I wouldn’t know what to do now. I’m unwilling, I don’t want to be kicked out of the Wei family like this!"

Wei Qingxue bit her lip, fully expressing her reluctance and unwillingness through her eyes.

Lin Fan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. He walked over and wiped away her tears, "Don’t worry, everything will be alright."

As night fell, Wei Qingxue fell asleep, while Lin Fan quietly got up, went to the balcony, pulled out his phone, and made a call.

"It’s me..."
