King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Lin Dongsheng knew that Ye Lan was the most crucial element in gaining the Ye family's help.

Even if Lin Xueyao agrees to help, whether they can get the money and when they will get it depends on Ye Lan's attitude.

Lin Dongsheng was filled with regret upon realizing this.

If I had known this would happen, I should have treated Lin Xueyao better in the first place.

It doesn't need to get to this tense point now.

He gathered his emotions, and two lines of clear tears slid down his cheeks.

Lin Dongsheng knelt down with a thud, crying uncontrollably, and began to recount his hardships with tears streaming down his face.

“My dear son-in-law, as the head of the Lin family, I support hundreds of people in the family. I really have no time to spend with my family.”

As he spoke, he slapped himself a few times, slapping himself hard across the face.

"Indeed, I have let down Lin Xueyao and her mother. No matter how you hit or scold me, I have no complaints."

Ye Lan remained completely unmoved as she watched Lin Dongsheng stage a melodramatic performance.

The upturned corners of his mouth revealed a disdainful contempt.

Even when death is imminent, they're still trying to find excuses for themselves.

This kind of person is a classic example of someone who can't change their ways.

Zhang Fengxia wanted to step forward to stop her, but seeing Ye Lan sitting there as calmly as Mount Tai, she thought for a moment and then stepped aside, silently adopting a spectator's stance.

Lin Dongsheng was clearly not prepared either; he was starting to go crazy, and the two of them didn't even try to persuade him.

Now we have no choice but to go down this dark path.

In the spacious living room, the crisp, loud sound of slapping echoed one after another.

At this moment, Lin Xueyao, who had changed into a set of casual clothes, walked over.

She blinked her watery eyes, full of confusion, "Dad, why did you slap yourself?"

Only after hearing the voices of others did Lin Dongsheng stop.

His cheeks were red and slightly swollen, clearly indicating that they were swollen.

Lin Dongsheng stared at Lin Xueyao as if he were seeing his savior.

Just as he was about to complain, Ye Lan, who had been watching the show for a long time, spoke up first:

“Your dad suddenly said his cheeks were numb and he couldn’t feel anything. He wanted me to hit him, but I couldn’t be disrespectful, so I let him slap himself.”

Lin Xueyao blinked her innocent eyes and looked at her father, "Is that so?"

Lin Dongsheng glanced inadvertently in Ye Lan's direction, and the latter's threatening expression was obvious.

He tried his best to force a smile, but it was impossible to tell that he was smiling when it fell on his swollen cheeks.

"That's right, I didn't know that just now. My face suddenly lost sensation, and I tried to regain it by hitting it."

Lin Xueyao raised her hand and slapped Lin Dongsheng hard across the face.

Lin Xueyao's slap was as lethal as that of an adult brown bear.

Lin Dongsheng started spinning in place like a top.

A dozen seconds later, the spinning top, having lost power, fell to the ground, leaving a very noticeable handprint on its left cheek.

The outlines of the deep red and light red are very distinct, and the boundaries are very clear.

Ye Lan's eyes widened, and she quickly walked to Lin Dongsheng's side, squatted down, and used her finger to check his breath.

Ms. Zhang Fengxia was terrified and hurriedly asked, "How is he? Is he dead?"

Ye Lan shook her head. "He's not dead. His breathing is a little weak. He must have fainted. Go get a basin of cold water and pour it on his head."

Zhang Fengxia nodded repeatedly and turned to prepare.

After giving these instructions, Ye Lan looked at the innocent and naive Lin Xueyao and sighed helplessly.

He never imagined that Lin Xueyao's resentment towards her father would reach such a deep level.

I almost sent the other person to meet Buddha with a single slap.

If Lin Dongsheng dies in their house, it will be a major problem.

Even if Ye Lan is eloquent, she will still be held responsible.

Lin Xueyao slowly squatted down, her eyes innocent, and said, "It's a pity we didn't kill him."

Ye Lan was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. She thought she knew Lin Xueyao well enough, but now it seemed that she only knew the surface.

"Cold water is here, cold water is here."

Ms. Zhang Fengxia carried a basin of cold water, running and shouting.

"Just pour it on directly." Ye Lan stood up and pulled Lin Xueyao away to a distance.

With a splash, a whole basin of cold water was poured directly onto Lin Dongsheng's face.

A refreshing coolness that makes your heart soar.

The chill woke Lin Dongsheng from his unconscious state.

Thinking about what had just happened, Lin Dongsheng glared at Lin Xueyao with uncontrollable rage.

How dare my daughter hit me? Is there no justice or law left?

Lin Dongsheng was about to step forward to demonstrate his authority as a father when Ye Lan unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.

"What, you want to hit my wife?"

Lin Dongsheng immediately chickened out. Ye Lan's fighting ability might not be as good as Lin Xueyao's, but bullying a fifty-year-old man was still very easy for her.

"How could that be? My daughter's slap just now cleared the nerves in my face, and I've regained consciousness now."

Zhang Fengxia looked at the shameless Lin Dongsheng with a contemptuous gaze.

Ye Lan's words from ten years ago have truly come true.

Today you ignore me, tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention.

Lin Dongsheng had given gifts, endured insults, and even been beaten; he felt the time was about right.

"My dear son-in-law, my Lin family's business has been severely impacted by tariffs, and we're almost starving. Can you help us?"

"No problem!" Ye Lan immediately agreed.

"really?"

Lin Dongsheng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to get the funding so easily. It seemed that the slap he received hadn't been in vain.

Ye Lan's lips curled into a malicious smile. "Of course it's true, Mom. Go to the kitchen and get two bags of rice and two cans of oil for your father-in-law, and also get him twenty catties of pork."

Zhang Fengxia immediately understood and replied with a smile, "No problem, there's so much food in the kitchen that we can't finish it all. Let our in-laws take it back to eat."

Lin Dongsheng was furious. "Ye Lan, two bags of rice, two buckets of oil, and twenty catties of pork, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

"How can you say that? I call this targeted poverty alleviation."

Lin Dongsheng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. "I've been playing the fool here for half a day, and all you give me are two bags of rice and two cans of oil?"

"Don't be so harsh, there are still 20 pounds of pork left."

"Give me two billion, and I promise I'll never bother you again."

"No problem, here you go."

Ye Lan said, taking out a twenty-yuan note from her wallet, "Twenty ones."

"I'm talking about two billion!"

"Looks like the Lin family really went bankrupt. If they don't have a mirror at home, can't they at least take a piss and look at themselves? Do you think you deserve two billion?"

Ye Lan was a pro at surfing the internet, and her words were as sweet as honey.

Every word he said caused Lin Dongsheng's blood pressure to spike.

"Fine, fine, since you're so heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless too."

"Your products are suspected of defrauding consumers, and I'm going to sue you!"
