Don't cry, baby. I'll punish you tonight.

Lan Meiyu tried to press He Yanlang's hand again, but this time she didn't.

He Yanlang said as if he was not afraid of death, "What if I say no?"

He Xiaoyi and Lan Meiyu lowered their heads.

With a loud bang, the table was slammed, and the old man stood up, "Rebellion!"

He Xiaoyi whispered: "Wife, it's over! I may not be able to protect her anymore!"

Lan Meiyu: "We'll act according to circumstances!"

"Kneel down! You play with women instead of going home, and now you are talking back to your elders. You are arrogant and you are lawless." He Yanhe scolded, "Whoever dares to protect him today, I will beat them all."

He Yanlang stood up and knelt down beside the old man. He still looked lazy and unfocused. "Grandpa, even if you beat me to death, I won't say 'no'."

"Great! What a stubborn guy!"

Lan Meiyu watched the crutch fall on her beloved son, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. He Xiaoyi quickly covered her eyes.

They couldn't help He Yanlang. He Yanlang had to understand that this was not a family he could rule as he pleased. Under the authority of the patriarch, disobedience would come at a price.

The cane hit He Yanlang again and again, but he didn't make a sound. The old man was tired and asked Lao Bai to do it again.

Lan Meiyu clutched the edge of her cheongsam tightly, tears falling from her eyes. For her darling.

"Honey, don't cry."

"I'll ask you again, are you going or not?" He Yanhe asked.

He had been hit dozens of times.

He Yanlang forced a smile, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't say 'no'!"

"Keep fighting!"

No one stepped forward to stop him. Only his parents felt distressed. Everyone else was gloating. He Yanlang had always been favored by the old man and was trained as his heir.

Today, he finally got caught, which made everyone happy.

Finally, He Yanlang couldn't bear it anymore and was knocked down. He struggled for a few times but couldn't get up. He crawled on the ground with cold sweat on his face due to pain.

"Master?" Lao Bai couldn't bring himself to do it anymore. The second young master had been beaten to the point of being on the verge of death.

"Throw me into the ancestral hall for reflection!"

The servants came in and carried He Yanlang away.

"Everyone else, keep eating!"

He was carried out, and there was finally some peace and quiet around him. I wondered if Lin Qinghuan was okay. She hadn't contacted him for a whole day, so she must be very worried. She must hate herself to death, thinking that she was a big liar who cheated people and took advantage of their bodies.

It hurts so fucking much. I really want to sleep with Lin Qinghuan.

"Master?" Lin Shen saw He Yanlang being carried out. How could the master who went in fine come out dying? "Were you beaten?"

"Stop fussing and crying. Go to Fengcheng and keep an eye on me. I've been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall." He said this to Lin Shen with one breath left. After he finished speaking, he grimaced in pain again.

I can't talk anymore, I have to save my energy to breathe.

Lin Shen followed behind him, seemingly reluctant to leave.

He Yanlang frowned: "Get lost!"

Lin Shen had no choice but to give up and leave.

In the banquet hall.

"Old Bai, send Madam Five back." He Yanhe ordered coldly.

Lan Meiyu was already crying her eyes out, and she was heartbroken for He Xiaoyi.

"Wife, why don't you go back and have some rest first?" He Xiaoyi comforted softly.

As soon as Lan Meiyu left, the old man yelled at He Xiaoyi again, "Kneel down!"

He Xiaoyi quickly knelt down.

"Look at this rebellious son you raised. Do you want to piss me off to death?" The crutch fell heavily on He Xiaoyi's back again.

It hurts! When will this collective responsibility system be abolished?

The son should bear the responsibility for his own mistakes! Besides, He Yanlang is already 21 years old, why should his father take the beating for him?

He Xiaoyi could only flatter with a shameless face, "Dad is right, I will definitely strengthen the discipline of Alang."

Another heavy blow from the club fell, and He Xiaoyi was knocked down. He struggled for a few times but couldn't get up.

"Useless things, send them to the ancestral hall and kneel down."

He Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. He was not like his reckless son who would not lie down until he was beaten by the old man and could not move. He was different. He pretended to be weak after being hit by two sticks. Why should he suffer those unnecessary punishments? He was so stupid. When he saw him in the ancestral hall later, he would have to teach He Yanlang a lesson.

In the ancestral hall.

He Yanlang didn't have the energy to listen to He Xiaoyi's preaching. He was really about to be beaten to death.

He was lying on the bed in the wing room of the ancestral hall. He Xiaoyi rolled over and crawled over to him, "Son?"

He Yanlang opened his eyes, frowned, pulled his hand out of He Xiaoyi's, and said weakly, "I'm not dead yet!"

"Why are you so stubborn? Didn't your mother tell you this morning to just go along with the old man?" Neither he nor Lan Meiyu had expected that this bastard would directly confront the old man. He would rather be beaten to death than be forced into an arranged marriage.

This was unlike He Yanlang's usual style. He remembered Lan Meiyu's words, "Your He family is prone to producing romantic people."

"Do you have a girl you like?" Over the years, his son had never been caught by anyone, but last night, they said that he just wanted to play with women, but the old man ignored him.

Damn, what do you mean by playing with women? His son has real feelings for her and really likes her. Only the eldest brother and his friends have such dirty minds that they would think that his son is playing with feelings and teasing girls.

"It's impossible for a girl from an ordinary family to enter the gate of my He family!" He Xiaoyi rejected it outright.

He Yanlang opened his eyes and glared at him, "Why are you glaring at me? Even if your mother and I agree, the old man won't be able to get past it. Your marriage to the Ouyang family is a done deal."

He Yanlang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids this time, "You and my mother find a way to refuse!"

"Ouch...it hurts..." He Yanlang covered his head in pain. He was covered with wounds everywhere. He Xiaoyi even slapped him on the head.

"You are already an adult with an independent personality. Your mother and I don't want to interfere, and we can't. You can only fight for everything on your own."

"Fifth Master, now that we're done talking, come here and kneel down!" Uncle Bai asked from outside the screen.

He Xiaoyi immediately changed his expression, "I'm coming, I'm coming to kneel down right away, Uncle Bai, go back and let my dad calm down, calm down."

The room became quiet again, with only He Yanlang left.

In this family, he must fight and must have absolute say so that he will not be arranged and manipulated, and he will not become the second He Yanqing.
