Chapter 458: Chapter 458: The Hero Saves the Beauty’s Father

Yue Jiannan was still caught in a hangover’s curse, speaking in a jumbled manner.

It took a great deal of effort for the family to finally piece together the truth.

When Yue Jiannan first visited, the host did indeed look at him with disdain—nose not a nose, eyes not eyes.

He did not smoke or drink; his complexion was so unsightly that Yue Jiannan questioned whether he owed the other party a huge debt of a million yuan.

But the third brother could more or less guess what was on the other party’s mind.

Put himself in their shoes.

If it were his daughter getting married off, he wouldn’t beat up the guy only because the law wouldn’t allow it.

Yue Jiannan was extremely cautious and exceedingly polite.

He pulled out all the stops with the same tenacity he had when doing research, always wearing a smile on his face.

A man doesn’t strike a smiling face, after all.

This tactic worked quite well on Lin Yushan’s mother.

She warmed up soon and suggested that her husband, Yue Jiannan, and their daughter take a walk in the complex to chat.

They could return just in time for dinner.

Yue Jiannan cautiously observed his future father-in-law’s expression.

He suspected that the aunt suggested this to prevent her husband from beating Yue Jiannan and accidentally damaging the furniture.

The turning point of the event happened during the walk in the complex.

Lin Pengyi was walking so fast with his hands behind his back that Yue Jiannan had to hurry to keep up.

Lin Yushan, though intelligent, was baffled by the situation as it was her first time experiencing such an event.

It was then that Yue Jiannan, walking too quickly, slipped and knocked his father-in-law to the ground...

Lin Yushan: "..."

Lin Pengyi: "..."

Yue Jiannan: "!!!"

Just as Yue Jiannan was mentally preparing himself for the worst, considering how to elope with Lin Yushan,

Boom!

The sound of something heavy hitting the ground reached them.

It was a DVD player, which had landed right where Lin Pengyi was standing moments before.

Up on the third floor of the villa, a couple was still arguing.

"Tell me, who is that siren?"

"Why are you going crazy? I told you I don’t know who made that call; maybe it was a wrong number,"

"Pah, you’re not afraid of being struck by lightning. If it wasn’t for my family’s support, could you live this good life now? I’ve always heard that when men get money, they turn bad. I’m the one who let you change!"

Bang!

The woman threw out the television again, shattering its screen like their fractured marriage.

Yue Jiannan was still marvelling at the woman’s strength.

Lin Pengyi had come around, quickly got up from the ground, and dragged Yue Jiannan away.

"You’re throwing things outside during a fight between a couple! Do you know it nearly hit someone?"

Yue Jiannan shouted, and finally, the clattering noises stopped.

Exhausted from the fight, the woman’s sobs faintly wafted over.

After returning, Lin Pengyi’s attitude changed drastically, heaping praise on Yue Jiannan.

"Xiaoyue did well, quick to react, selflessly protective. If it weren’t for his brave rescue, I’d probably be lying in a hospital by now," said Lin Pengyi, touching his neck, still shaken.

It turns out that sometimes a hero doesn’t need to save the beauty, saving the beauty’s father works just the same.

Lin Pengyi immediately asked Miao Cui to open a bottle of liquor, and he grew almost brotherly towards Yue Jiannan.

He never expected that despite his cold demeanor and unkindness towards Yue Jiannan,

The latter would still risk his life to save him.

To think the DVD player nearly hit Yue Jiannan.

Feeling indebted, Yue Jiannan could only smile foolishly, accompanying his father-in-law in drinking cup after cup until he was drunkenly assisted into the car by Lin Yushan.

After hearing Yue Jiannan’s story, both Yue Xingxing and Yue Xiaohu were dumbstruck.

Yue Xiaofang remarked with a sigh, "Our brother really does have the dumb man’s dumb luck."

Lin Chunju smiled without saying a word, hugging Yue Qingqing. This luck wasn’t because he was dumb; it was because someone had driven away the evil for him.

Think about it, without Qingqing,

Today, Yue Jiannan’s visit would have faced the tragedy of his girlfriend’s father being grievously injured or even dead, casting a shadow over the couple’s marriage prospects.

It might even have led to a grudge, turning them into strangers forever.

Luckily... fortunately...

With that thought in mind, Lin Chunju held her precious child even tighter.
