Chapter 2 The Lin Family
At noon, Lu Feng finally arrived home, or more precisely, the Lin family.
Since he married into the family, he had hardly stepped out of the courtyard in three years. If it weren't for taking the blame for the Lin family two years ago, he wouldn't have ended up in prison or encountered that old man who tortured him to death.
Inside the house, many people were discussing something. When they saw Lu Feng come in, no one seemed surprised, indicating that everyone knew he was being released from prison today, but no one had gone to pick him up.
"You still dare to come back to life?" Lin's mother was the first to taunt Lu Feng when she saw him.
It was also her decision not to let Lin Qingyi go pick up Lu Feng, as Lin Qingyi was going to be engaged to Xu Feng tomorrow anyway.
"Mom, this is my home. How could I not come back?" Lu Feng smiled weakly, still showing the same cowardly demeanor as before.
"Your home? It won't be for long." Lin's mother snorted coldly and stopped looking at Lu Feng.
"Mom, no matter what, Lu Feng went to prison for my brother's sake." Lin Qingyi couldn't bear it, feeling unsure about how to talk to Lu Feng about certain things.
Lu Feng, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all. He walked over to his wife with a smile, "Qingyi, the whole family is here today. Is there something going on?"
"You just got back, go take a shower." Lin Qingyi said softly.
"Why bother with a bath? Just kick him out." Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyi's younger brother, took the words without any gratitude for Lu Feng's sacrifice two years ago.
"It's all because of this unlucky star. If it weren't for Qingyi marrying him back then, our Lin family wouldn't have fallen into such a plight. Marrying a prestigious family with Qingyi's looks, there would be no problem at all."
"Qingyi is getting married to someone else tomorrow. If you have any sense, divorce and get out of the Lin family immediately. If you don't, we'll kick you out of the Lin family," someone said indignantly.
"Get out of the Lin family and never show your face again. Otherwise, we'll beat you every time we see you."
"Qingyi, what's going on?" Lu Feng couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Lin Qingyi.
"Our company signed a gambling agreement with the Liu Group. If we lose, according to the agreement, all of the Lin family's property will go to them. The only ones who can help us now are the Xu family. I heard that the old man from the Xu family has some connections with the Liu family and can help save our Lin family," Lin Qingyi said, her voice choked with emotion.
"The Liu Group?"
Lin Qingyi nodded numbly.
"I've met Lin Xiaoya before, and I think I even know their eldest daughter. Maybe I should give it a try?" Lu Feng volunteered.
With the help of Lu Feng, the Lin family was saved, and the marriage between Lin Qingyi and Xu Feng was called off.
"You? Oh my god, you've been married to my sister for five years. Have you ever stepped out of the Lin family's door? Do you even know anyone from the Liu family? Stop boasting." Lin Qingyu sneered.
"Even if we use all the power of the Lin family, we can't even get in touch with the Liu family. Just a useless waste like you, dare to talk nonsense here." Lin's mother was furious.
"Qingyi, just divorce him. How can you compare this kind of lowlife to Mr. Xu?!"
Lu Feng ignored the comments of the crowd and just looked at the somewhat confused Lin Qingyi.
"Lu Feng, I understand your current feelings. I know I shouldn't divorce you, but there's no other way. With so many people here today, don't try to be strong, and give me some face."
"I said I can handle this, do you believe me?"
"Do you believe it yourself?" Lin Qingyi retorted.
"Give me three days, I can definitely solve it." Lu Feng said confidently.
He did have a plan in mind to resolve this small matter.
"Enough, do you think I'm not embarrassed enough?" Lin Qingyi felt embarrassed when she saw the mocking gazes of her relatives and friends, and had to stop Lu Feng from continuing to boast.
"Lu Feng, I understand your feelings. You've been useless in our Lin family for so many years. If you want to show your face, you can, but you have to control your boasting."
"If you really know someone from the Liu family, I'll call you dad. Idiot."
Just then, a loud car engine roar came from outside the courtyard.
Almost at the same time, everyone in the Lin family looked towards the door.
Someone murmured, "He finally arrived."
