These branch family descendants did not want to be involved at first, but in the end, Shan Qingyuan used his identity as the family head to ruthlessly suppress them. He insisted that this was a welcome party for Shan Ling. They were all brothers and sisters. Could it be that they did not have this little bit of affection?
The power of the main family was complicated to begin with. How could they, these branch family descendants, compare? He was using this excuse to beat them up and tell them not to have any thoughts that they should not have. The main family had plenty of ways to find out.
Shan Shu looked at Han Xing, who had stood up for Shan Ling, and she felt both jealousy and hatred. How could Shan Ling have something she didn’t have? Now that she wanted to leave, she still had a protector to protect her at all times.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She even transferred her hatred to Shan Qingyuan and the others. If Shan Qingyuan had not asked her to get married back then, how could she have come to this point?
“Han Xing, be careful.” Shan Ling instructed in a low voice. These bodyguards were all martial arts experts chosen by the Shan family.
Their combat skills were first-class. If he really fought with them, he would inevitably be injured.
“Don’t worry. I’ve never lost in a fight.” Han Xing laughed. All the bodyguards came up and surrounded him.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!”
Applause slowly came from the upper floor of the main hall. The people present were stunned. They looked up and saw a group of people slowly coming down from the second floor of the main hall. After seeing the faces of these people, Shan Ling’s expression became even uglier.
She gritted her teeth and said to Han Xing, “We were all fooled today!”
This group of people coming down was Shan Qingyuan and some of the aristocratic families in the North Province. The Li family, the Zhang family, the Liu family, and other families were all gathered.
Shan Qingyuan glanced at the children who were about to fight and did not care at all. He just smiled at the Li family members beside him and said, “How is it? Isn’t today’s show exciting enough?”
Elder Zhang gave a thumbs up and praised, “Not bad, not bad! This little girl has the demeanor of Mrs. Shan back then.”
When Meng Wan heard this, she said very gently, “Elder Zhang, you flattered me. When I was young, I wasn’t as naughty and insensible as her.”
Shan Wei and Shan Shu did not expect this to happen. Their faces turned green and purple. They did not expect that their father would actually drag them into his plan. How long had their father planned for today?
Shan Qingyuan was extreme in his actions. He had always considered the interests of the family. He could not care less whether these children hated him or not. So what if they hated him? They still had to accept the benefits that the family gave them, and they still had to accept the honor and disgrace of the family.
What he did today was just to shut up everyone’s mouths.
He had already taken the initiative to air his family’s dirty laundry to these families. If any rumors were to appear in the future, then they couldn’t blame him for taking action.
These old foxes in the business world naturally saw through this layer of signal.
Originally, there were a few families who wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Shan family. However, when they saw that Shan Ling was so insensible, they reconsidered.
It didn’t matter if she was insensible. They could teach her, but if she didn’t put her heart on it, she would sooner or later implicate others.
Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but sigh. Shan Qingyuan had really played a good hand, letting them see Shan Ling behaving like this. Who would still want to marry her? They might as well cut off all ties after rejecting her.
This old guy was really difficult to deal with.
What was Shan Qingyuan’s personality like? Shan Ling understood it better than her brother and sister. When she saw her father coming down with such a group of people, she did not panic at all and only greeted them.
“Hello, uncles. Was the show fun to watch? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
A hint of anger flashed across Meng Wan’s eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She chided, “You’ve only been back for a few days. What’s the hurry?”
“You haven’t even met your uncles properly.”
Meng Wan’s words made all the families present not dare to respond. With Shan Ling’s destructive power, who would dare to stay with her for too long? If she vented her anger on them, it would not be worth it.
Shan Wei could only look at Shan Qingyuan awkwardly and say, “Dad, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were going to do this today?”
Shan Qingyuan felt bored even if he took another look at him. He said, “You’re behind your sister in this aspect. She doesn’t even care about her pride, so what do you care about?”
“It’s a pity that she has no interest in these disputes at home. Otherwise, why would you be in charge of the company?”
These words made Shan Shu’s heart palpitate for no reason. She knew that her little sister was talented. However, she did not expect their father to have such a plan. She clenched her fists tightly. It was fine if her husband’s family did not accommodate her, but she definitely could not let her family’s interests fall into the hands of her younger sister.
Shan Wei obviously had the same plan. He had been taking care of the company for so many years, but his father still had no intention of giving him the power. Could it be that he wanted to use him as a whetstone for his little sister to practice?
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. For the first time, he actually had the idea of getting rid of his younger sister.
Shan Ling naturally heard what Shan Qingyuan said.
She smiled at Han Xing and said, “Look, this is my good father. Even at this time, he still wants to give me some trouble.”
“I know my big brother and Shan Shu’s temperaments too well.”
Han Xing naturally understood. He thought for a moment and said, “If you really can’t take it, you should come to my Han family. It doesn’t matter if I hire another doctor, but at least I can take care of you.”
When Shan Ling heard this, her depressed mood instantly disappeared. She chuckled and said, “I’m very expensive. I’m afraid you can’t afford me.”
“It’s okay. I won’t be a freeloader.”
After saying this, the two of them smiled in unison, not taking the people in the room seriously at all.
The Zhang family head saw Han Xing standing beside Shan Ling. He could still maintain his composure in front of so many large families and even dared to attack the Shan family on the spot. If it wasn’t for the Shan family head’s timely intervention, the county town would probably have been in a mess by now.
However, who was more powerful among the bodyguards of the Shan family if compared to Han Xing?
They had just met, but these people had a good impression of Han Xing. These families never liked powerful subordinates. They only had one requirement for bodyguards, and that was to be loyal to their masters.
Han Xing’s performance just now could be said to be for a woman or for love. To offend an aristocratic family for a woman was not something that a simple person could do.
After Shan Ling left with Han Xing, Shan Shu also left in a hurry. She did not want to continue enduring the suffocating environment here.
Shan Wei thought for a moment and decided to stay where he was. His father was only interested in profit, so he had to let his father see his value.
The Li family head also stood up at this moment and said, “I saw that the young man just now was not bad.. Does the Shan family know his background?”
