Chapter 24: Your coffin is a bit small



Because of the angle, he hadn’t seen the condition of the front windshield of the SUV. If he knew that Du Shiwei had been beaten by Ling Fan to the brink of life and death, he would probably be scared half to death.

He couldn’t help but shift his gaze toward Ling Fan. Could it be that the entire Xiao Family had misjudged this man in the past two years?

"Xiao Bing, I’m here today on behalf of the family to apologize to you. The incident today was our fault, and I hope you can forgive us. Your father was too ashamed to come, so I’m bringing him here to apologize to you!" Xiao Jianhua struggled internally before saying these words.

Zhang Xu felt bitter in his heart. He had inexplicably lost his job today, and his superiors were unable to help, saying he had offended someone.

He was completely baffled and only learned from Xiao Jingjing that it had something to do with Ling Fan. But how could this rotten fish possibly have such ability? He was still utterly confused.

Especially Xiao Jingjing, who was pale as a ghost, felt as if a hundred knives were stabbing at her heart. She never expected that fortunes could reverse after thirty years.

"An apology is unnecessary, I can’t accept it!" Xiao Chubing sneered coldly.

She wasn’t a fool. The family’s sudden one hundred and eighty-degree change in attitude was nothing but an attempt to ingratiate with Ling Fan now that they had realized he was out of the ordinary. Such an opportunistic facade was truly nauseating.

Xiao Jianhua felt dejected, his old face turning red. He hadn’t wanted to come today. Before coming, the family had held a meeting hoping to smooth things over with Xiao Chubing and her husband.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t lower his Family Head’s dignity, and Xiao Zhengping couldn’t swallow his pride. In the end, it fell to Xiao Jianhua to make the visit. The family wasn’t very optimistic about the outcome of this trip because relations had become too strained.

Showing up now was tantamount to humiliating oneself, but such is a parent’s tender heart. For his son-in-law Zhang Xu’s future, he still decided to give it a try.

"Xiao Jing, apologize!" Xiao Jianhua felt indescribable inside.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingjing’s body trembled, and she even bit her lips until they bled. Zhang Xu’s job loss was largely her fault.

"I’m... I’m sorry!" After saying this, Xiao Jingjing’s face felt scorchingly hot.

Xiao Jianhua hastily said, "Xiao Bing, your second sister already knows her mistake. Please forgive her this once. After all, we are all family, and it’s better to resolve conflicts than to let them linger!"

Xiao Chubing was silent and didn’t answer, instead turning her gaze to Ling Fan.

"You don’t need to apologize to me. The one who needs your forgiveness is my husband!" Xiao Chubing, for the first time in public, centered Ling Fan in the situation.

Xiao Jianhua took a deep breath. He spoke to Xiao Chubing first upon entering because he thought she’d be easier to break through than Ling Fan.

In the two years since Ling Fan married into the Xiao Family, they had treated him like a dog. The resentment he must have felt probably couldn’t be washed away by all the water in the Three Rivers and Five Lakes. Asking for his forgiveness would be extremely difficult.

Xiao Jianhua braced himself and said to Ling Fan, "The Xiao Family has wronged you before. I don’t know how we can earn your forgiveness!"

Ding Wanchang stood silently next to Ling Fan; it wasn’t his place to get involved in family affairs, but he watched the three kneeling people as if each second was an eternity, just waiting for the time to take care of Du Tao.

Ling Fan looked at Xiao Jianhua with a bit of amusement. Although he had no real relationship with the Xiao Family, out of respect for the older generation, he didn’t purposely target the Xiao Family.

"Heh, do you even know where you went wrong?" Ling Fan didn’t pay attention to Xiao Jianhua but looked interestedly at Xiao Jingjing.

"I..."

"Don’t know?"

"I... I should not have been arrogant..."

"What else?"

"I... I shouldn’t have been power-seeking and shouldn’t have been jealous of Xiao Bing..."

Watching his wife apologize so humbly to someone else, Zhang Xu’s eyes were red with rage.

"Damn it, Ling Fan, who the hell do you think you are? Don’t think you’re something special just because you’re having a bit of luck! A poor loser like you will show his true colors soon enough, and we’ll see who has the last laugh.

Xiao Jingjing, Dad, let’s go. If the job’s gone, I’ll just find another. With my abilities, am I afraid I won’t find work?" Zhang Xu, unable to restrain himself any longer, pointed at Ling Fan and cursed loudly.

He absolutely didn’t believe that Ling Fan, this dead fish, could really turn things around—there had to be a catch.

Xiao Jingjing pursed her lips, feeling a touch of emotion. Zhang Xu had lost his job because of her, and yet he didn’t blame her at all and still defended her at every turn, suddenly feeling she hadn’t married the wrong person.

"Shut up!" Xiao Jianhua scolded.

He sighed in his heart, "Ling Fan, is there really no room for reconciliation?"

Ling Fan’s gaze swept over the few people, "Go back and tell Xiao Zheng, considering the affection of the older generation, I won’t target the Xiao Family, but the affection has ended, please leave!"

Xiao Jianhua’s expression was complex. In the end, he looked at Xiao Chubing, "Your father is full of regret. He hopes you can forgive him!"

Xiao Jianhua hoped to retain something by bringing up Xiao Zhengping. After saying this, he led his daughter and son-in-law outside.

Before leaving, Zhang Xu gave Ling Fan a resentful glance. He never could understand what went wrong, but he was sure there was a problem.

"Ling, come out and face your death immediately! If a single hair on my disciple’s head is harmed, I’ll make your life a living hell!" An explosive shout, like thunder, echoed in the courtyard.

Xiao Jianhua and the others exchanged looks, understanding suddenly dawning on them as they glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground. Zhang Xu’s eyes brimmed with mockery, and he didn’t rush to leave.

Zhang Ping and Wang Sheng, hearing this domineering voice, were overjoyed to the point of tears, while Du Tao simply collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

With only a minute remaining, Ding Wanchang was poised to act. If Lu Jinglun had arrived even a moment later, he might have been off to meet King Yan.

Then, a shadow flashed through the air and with a loud thud, an object landed in the courtyard.

All eyes turned to see what it was—shockingly, it was a black wooden coffin.

Ling Fan was unperturbed, Xiao Chubing felt a heavy heart, and Ding Wanchang was terror-stricken. The weight of this black coffin must be at least seven to eight hundred pounds. To throw it more than ten meters across the air and into here, how strong must one be?

Xiao Jianhua and his party took three steps back in fright, all in disbelief, while only Zhang Ping and Wang Sheng were filled with excitement.

Soon after, a slightly overweight man dressed in a black long robe hurried over, followed by two disciples.

This man was none other than Lu Jinglun from the Weisheng Martial Arts School. When he saw his two disciples prostrate on the ground, he was livid with anger.

"You fools! Get up now!" Lu Jinglun bellowed, feeling as if his dignity had been trampled upon.

The two trembled in their hearts, attempting to rise quickly but finding it difficult, as they had been kneeling for too long and their legs had gone numb.

Lu Jinglun’s face turned ashen as he turned his head towards Ling Fan, "Kid, let me tell you something. If my disciple suffers the slightest harm today, this coffin will be for you. Hand over Du Shiwei!"

Aside from the three people from the Xiao Family who looked confused, everyone else secretly sweated at the scene. Du Shiwei was probably dead by now, motionless for so long.

Most importantly, Lu Jinglun was famously overprotective, and with the backing of a Martial Arts Family, Ling Fan was in danger.

"Old man, this coffin is a bit small for you. It might be cramped with you and your disciple inside. Why don’t you go find a bigger one?" Ling Fan snorted with a laugh.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere changed, and everyone’s complexion shifted!

PS: Just popping in to complain a bit. The updates from Starfire are very timely every day, it’s just that the backend synchronization is often delayed... For example, the one that was just released is still showing the synchronization time from noon the day before yesterday. Starfire actually can’t do anything about it, so it’s not a case of Starfire being lazy ^v^. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
