With a twist of her body and a pull, she hooked her arm around the attacker’s claw and twisted forcefully, causing the person to immediately shriek. Her eyes narrowed, and her movements became even faster. She thrust her elbow backward, startling the man who cried out and stumbled back. He was then spun aside and grabbed by his clothing, thrown forward over the railing with a thunderous crash!
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change, hearing only the rolling sounds accompanied by an unseemly and startling cry. Xu Wanzhi swiftly dodged and rushed a few steps to Lin’s front, her eyes open and calm, meeting his furious gaze as she softly said: “Who dares to touch me?”
Her tone was calm, not seeming like a threat, but a statement of fact.
Lin stepped back, shouting: “You! How bold! You’ve gone too far! Someone, arrest this young master immediately!”
Xu Wanzhi gave him a sidelong glance and said coolly: “I’ve seen men without grace before, but someone as sharp as you is rare in this world. You should go. I don’t wish to lower myself by engaging with someone like you.”
In truth, she meant every word. She was someone who maintained her composure, treating others with more grace than most men.
Today, these people had truly stepped on her last nerve, prompting such words.
Unfortunately, to the ancient people, her words sounded like insubordination, completely violating social norms and filial piety.
“Fine! With your behavior, and Jue’er not here, I’ll divorce you today, and she’ll have no say!”
Lin smiled coldly, having calmed down. He had noticed something was off about his son-in-law, who had humiliated him in front of all the servants. Having lost face, he was determined to get rid of him to maintain his authority as the elder.
Holding this ultimate card, even if he begged for forgiveness—he would not be spared!
This ruthless expression raised Xu Wanzhi’s eyebrow.
Tsk! The plot twist was quick enough. She was already tired of being here and bored, and she lightly laughed: “Very well, but the severance pay cannot be short by a single coin.”
