Chapter 554: Chapter 552 It’s all your fault, you dead girl!
The house servants of the Rimu Family standing aside had their eyes go wide when they heard this.
Could their Rimu Family’s name actually be used like this?
Pei Huai ignored the astonished looks around him and continued to ask, "Is the Rimu Family’s name useful, huh? I didn’t even know that the Rimu Family had gained such an important minister as you."
He Wanshan only felt a chill down his spine.
Lingmu, who was already feeling weak in the knees, was now completely panic-stricken, "Family Head, this really has nothing to do with me, my relationship with this He Wanshan is solely a partnership. If I had known he had the audacity to cause such a disaster with the Rimu Family’s reputation, I would have never cooperated with him!"
Lingmu could never have dreamed that He Wanshan would use the identity of the Rimu Family to make such a scene.
He thought at most He Wanshan would just use the Rimu Family’s name to attract investment. Who would have thought he’d be so audacious?
And to find a male concubine for his daughter?
He really dared to!
Xia Wenyan pursed his lips, "Whether or not they truly harmed the reputation of the Rimu Family remains to be verified, but using the Rimu Family’s name to seek a male concubine, and even reaching out to the Rimu Family Head, that’s truly novel!"
He Wanshan: "..."
Lingmu: "..."
The house servants of the Rimu Family: "..."
Well, what do you know, He Wanshan and his daughter really were impressive in this regard!
Who is their Family Head?
Even Feng Ya Meizi, the heir of the Fengya Family, had her face scratched up when she tried to lay hands on him.
And He Xintian actually dared to entertain the idea of having their Family Head as a male concubine?
Impressive indeed...
The other house servants glanced sympathetically at Lingmu, who was sitting on the ground, utterly lifeless, if only for a second.
After all, not taking the Rimu Family’s reputation seriously was a grave crime in itself.
It was utterly foolish to let someone like He Wanshan sully the family’s name for a bit of money.
He Xintian, standing aside, finally understood what was going on.
She looked at Pei Huai with wide, shocked eyes. "You, you’re the Rimu Family Head? How is that possible? You’re clearly just a celebrity in the entertainment industry, you..."
He Wanshan already felt doomed, and now He Xintian jumped into the fray.
There was no need to wait for He Wanshan to act; the security guards, who had been waiting around for a chance, quickly encircled them and pinned He Xintian to the ground.
Just as she tried to struggle and speak, her mouth was stuffed with a cloth from the side.
What complaints could He Wanshan possibly have now? 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
He couldn’t even save his own life now, let alone worry about his daughter’s importance.
Besides, all these troubles were brought about by He Xintian herself.
If it weren’t for her crazed insistence on finding men in the country, he would still be living comfortably in R country.
Thinking this, He Wanshan immediately crawled forward. "Family Head! This whole affair is the fault of my ignorant daughter, it’s my fault for not teaching her well. Please, Family Head, be lenient for my sake, as I have only had my child’s best interests at heart... As for my daughter, she indeed has displeased the Family Head, and I’ll leave her fate to your discretion!"
"Wuuu!"
He Xintian could hardly believe her ears.
Her father, who had always been so good to her, was now so readily abandoning her?
He Xintian struggled desperately, but she was held down by several security officers and couldn’t get up.
She looked at He Wanshan with hatred, as if she wanted him to explain.
Why abandon her now?
Pei Huai wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to their father-daughter drama. He waved at the security staff, "Throw them out. Lingmu will return to R country and face punishment from the Rimu Family. As for the others you’ve brought in..."
Seeing this, Lingmu hurriedly responded, "I will handle these two properly! I will not let anyone tarnish the Rimu Family’s reputation!"
He knew his position as a house servant was likely lost.
But being able to save his own life was already the greatest mercy from the Family Head.
Lingmu didn’t dare say more.
He was also thankful that their family wasn’t instantly crushed by this incident.
As for the He Family father and daughter, not a penny of their wealth would be left to them, and whether they could live was now up to their own fate...
Pei Huai glanced at the He Family father and daughter before turning his attention to Xia Wenyan and Lu Zhaozhao.
"Are you two satisfied with this outcome?" Pei Huai’s voice was exceptionally gentle, a stark contrast to the cold Family Head image he had just portrayed moments ago.
"If not, I can make their plight even more miserable."
He said this with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was discussing what to eat later.
Lu Zhaozhao had come to watch her fourth brother show off and smack faces. As for the He Family father and daughter, they were never good people to begin with, having relied on the fame of the Rimu Family to bully others.
Now, they got what they deserved.
Her gaze shifted to Xia Wenyan, who turned his charming, peach-like eyes towards her, "As long as my precious little sister doesn’t mind, I certainly don’t either."
Having said that, his expression suddenly turned icy as he turned towards He Wanshan, "However, I hope such trash never appears before my sister again."
Lingmu, as if he had heard an amnesty proclamation, nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, young master, I guarantee these two will not appear before the young miss ever again!"
With his words completed, Lingmu saw Pei Huai gesture, signaling the security staff to throw out He Wanshan and He Xintian.
Naturally, Lingmu didn’t dare linger any longer.
The more he had previously rejoiced at attending this business gathering, the more he regretted his decision now.
He had overestimated himself.
He nearly got killed by the He Family father and daughter’s antics!
Thankfully, the Family Head did not take out his anger on him or his family behind the scenes, otherwise he would have no idea how he’d die in the future!
Meanwhile, the He Family father and daughter thrown out of the door had already been locked up by Lingmu’s men.
He Xintian couldn’t believe what had just happened; she was almost mad as she stared at He Wanshan, "Dad, what those people said just now isn’t true, right? He couldn’t possibly be the Rimu Family Head, could he?!"
He Wanshan was shaken by He Xintian pulling on his arm and grew irritable, slapping her across the face, "You still have the audacity to talk? If it wasn’t because of you, this wretched girl, why would I have angered the Family Head?! It’s all your fault, you wretched girl!"
With that, he began to beat and kick He Xintian.
Gone was the father who used to cherish his so-called precious daughter.
He Xintian watched the ferocious He Wanshan, her entire self going numb. At first, she stood frozen, taking the beating.
It was only after she truly felt the hard blows that she belatedly reacted.
He Xintian fiercely pushed He Wanshan away, "How can you blame me?! It was you who pretended to be an important minister of the Rimu Family! What does that have to do with me?! You’re the one who’s wrong!"
