Chapter 65 A Part Of The Past (2)
Yue Lan's father's expression finally changed when he saw this.
He tried to take the bag back from Lin Fan, but he found that no matter how he tried, he wasn't able to pull the bag out of Lin Fan's hand.
That was very natural since Yue Lan's father was only a mortal without any cultivation and Lin Fan was already a Fourth Qi Gathering Realm cultivator. Even among cultivators in this city, he was considered one of the stronger ones.
After seeing that he wasn't able to take the back, Yue Lan's father didn't keep trying as he turned his attention to Yue Lan who had been silently standing on the side.
Seeing her just standing there without saying a thing, his face filled with rage as he said, "You! You unfilial thing! Who do you think I am! I am your father and you're treating me like this!"
He came right up to her face and yelled, "I was the one who fed and clothed you since you were born and this is how you repay me! You won't even give your own father a few simple things that you own to help him? Even beasts wouldn't be as unfilial as you!"
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows as he silently stood on the side.
He had long wanted to beat this man who clearly didn't deserve to be called Yue Lan's father, but he knew that before he could do anything, he would have to wait for Yue Lan's response first.
Being yelled at like this, Yue Lan started to tremble and shrink back.
However, when she saw Lin Fan glaring at her dad for her, she felt a burst of confidence filling her.
That was right, she was no longer alone like before. There was someone who was there to support her now, so there was no need for her to be afraid like before.
As Yue Lan's father kept yelling at her, Yue Lan suddenly looked up and took a step forward, catching him off guard and making him swallow his words. He looked at Yue Lan with a cautious look and asked, "What is it? Are you going to apolo…?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yue Lan cut in by saying, "You and I no longer have a familial relationship. You are not my father anymore."
When Yue Lan's father heard this, all he could do was reveal a stunned look. But he didn't remain stunned for long before he pointed his finger in her face and roared out, "What kind of unfilial thing are you! When you've found success, you immediately abandon your family! Don't you know that family is the only thing that matters! Your parents gave birth to you and you abandon them like this!"
He was about to raise his hand to slap Yue Lan, but Lin Fan stepped in at this time.
He stood in between Yue Lan and her father, staring down her father as he said in a cold voice, "That's enough. Get out of my store now."
Yue Lan's father was taken aback by Lin Fan suddenly appearing in front of him, but he didn't give up as he shouted, "You think that you can get in between this? This is a matter between me and my daughter, this isn't something for you to interfere in!"
Lin Fan glared down Yue Lan's father until he couldn't say a single thing anymore and he said in a low, but powerful voice, "You're not worthy of being her daughter. After letting her take on your debt, you abandoned her. Do you think that's what a father is supposed to do?"
Yue Lan's eyes couldn't help tearing up when she heard these words.
However, Yue Lan's father's reaction was completely different. Yue Lan's father just gave a snort and said, "When a family is in trouble, every member should do what they can to help the family. It was her duty to take on the debt for the entire family or else we would have all suffered. Isn't it better for one person to…"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan had already raised his hand.
In one quick motion, he slapped Yue Lan's father across the face, sending him flying across the room. He flew over the table with products on them, over the customers and workers that were still in the store, and right into the wall.
When he slammed into the wall, the wall shattered like it was made of styrofoam and he was thrown out of the store.
After being thrown out, Yue Lan's father bounced on the ground a few times before skidding to a stop.
After that slap, he didn't get up as he just laid there on the ground covered in blood.
Yue Lan was about to run forward to check on him, but Lin Fan raised his hand to stop her before personally walking out of the hole in the wall and standing over Yue Lan's father.
Yue Lan's father was still conscious, but he couldn't believe what was happening.
Still, even if he couldn't believe it, it had still happened. With his body covered in wounds from shattering the wall, the pain quickly hit him and he screamed out, "Ah! That hurts! You son of a b*tch, what do you think you're doing!"
He rolled around on the ground as he held his face that was already swelling up, but then the adrenaline that his body was secreting numbed the pain enough that he was able to jump up to point his finger in Lin Fan's face and shout, "You! Who do you think you're hitting! I am your father in law, do you think that you can do this kind of thing to me without consequences!"
Lin Fan didn't bother with his threats as he grabbed him by the collar, shutting him up.
Lin Fan looked right into his eyes with a cold glare before saying, "You're the one who made her take on your debt, so it could be said that you're the one who sold her to pay your debt. Since I'm the one that paid that debt, that means that she belongs to me now."
Yue Lan's father plucked up the little courage that he had left and said, "She belongs to you! She is my flesh and blood, she was born from me, so she belongs to me!"
Lin Fan raised his other hand to place at his neck and his hand formed a blade that he pressed against Yue Lan's father's neck. He had also used his spiritual energy to cover his hand, so it was sharp enough to cut the neck so that drops of blood came out.
Feeling this new pain that came from his neck, Yue Lan's father immediately closed his mouth.
Lin Fan just looked right into his eyes with that same cold gaze and said, "She no longer has any relation to you. If you bother her again, I promise that I will kill you with my own two hands. Do you understand?"
Yue Lan's father had been acting arrogant the whole time because he had been relying on the fact that he was Yue Lan's father, but hearing the cold tone and feeling the murderous intent coming from Lin Fan, he knew that he shouldn't push his luck too much or he would really die here. Seeing that he had no other choice, he just gave a nod and said, "Alright, I'll leave, I'll leave. Just let me live!"
Lin Fan looked at Yue Lan's father in disgust when he saw this. With a snort he just threw Yue Lan's father onto the ground before walking back into the store.
After coming back in, he looked around before saying with a smile, "I apologize for the inconvenience that was caused today. We will be offering everyone some discounts as compensation for the mess that was caused."
What he didn't expect after hearing this was a round of applause from the customers and the staff.
One of the customers even said, "Good job young man. Even I wanted to slap that b*stard after everything that he said."
Another one quickly added, "Right, right, that kind of person really is an eyesore. It's a good thing that you kicked him out. There's no need to worry about compensation."
Lin Fan was happy hearing what they said, but he still said, "No, this was a situation that was caused by our internal errors, so we should offer compensation to everyone."
At this, he nudged the arm of Yue Lan beside him, bringing her back to her senses.
Yue Lan's body jerked, but then she quickly revealed a smile and said, "That's right, it was our store's mistake that caused this mess, so it's natural that we provide compensation. We will be offering a 10% discount on all our goods today, so please continue to support our business."
The eyes of the customers lit up when they heard this.
There was no customer that didn't like getting a discount, so they were naturally happy about this.
Yue Lan gave a nod to the workers to let them take care of this before heading into the back with Lin Fan.
Only when they were back in the office did she finally collapse in the chair and let out a long sigh. It didn't take long before she covered her eyes and tears started to come out.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate as he came forward to pick Yue Lan up and then took her in his embrace as he said beside her ear in a firm voice, "You are my family now."
After a long time, there was a soft "un" that came from Yue Lan.
