Hurried footsteps approached, and Luo Fei was pushed aside.
Several women of different ages rushed forward and, quick as lightning, began slapping Fan Shi's face repeatedly from both sides.
"You shameless little tramp, how dare you say such things!"
"With your rotten character and inherent wickedness, you have the nerve to make such promises? If you can stay faithful, I'll eat my hat!"
"What's this? Weren't you madly in love with that illegitimate child just now? And now you're clinging to my nephew? Have you finally figured out where your happiness lies? You're quite the calculating one."
"Why are you so obsessed with my Luo Fei? Are you some kind of leech?"
"Where does your confidence come from? What makes you think Luo Fei would accept someone as filthy as you? My Luo Fei is so outstanding, so many girls like him. If it weren't for his emotional nature, who would even look at someone like you!"
"Good heavens, you're not worthy! Are you out of your mind?"
"Being Luo Fei's girlfriend was already more than you deserved - your ancestors must have accumulated good karma, but you've squandered it all with your misdeeds!"
They were all female relatives from Luo's Mother's side. Since Luo's Mother wasn't well and Luo Fei wouldn't hit women, it fell to them to act.
They were careful with their actions, mindful of her pregnancy. They aimed only for her face, with just enough force to humiliate without causing brain damage.
Each slap was accompanied by an insult, like a symphony.
Fan Shi couldn't keep up with the assault, only able to cry pathetically and beg them to stop.
Watching this satisfying scene, all the onlookers felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. After all, this woman had been so wishy-washy and full of twisted logic - she desperately needed this beating.
Ji Fei instinctively shrank back at the sound of the resounding slaps.
Qin Xian naturally wrapped his arms around Ji Fei, protecting her in his embrace. He heard his sweetheart murmur: "You know how she falls in love with people who hit her... do you think the aunties and sisters might be making her too happy? Maybe she doesn't like Luo Fei because he never hit her?"
Qin Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ji Fei felt the vibrations from the chest against her back, and suddenly realized she was being held by Qin Xian.
When she became aware of this, she first felt her face grow hot involuntarily.
Then, feeling mischievous, she pretended to be unaware and backed up a little more.
[I'm not taking advantage; I just want to feel his abs and chest. I'm only trying to avoid the spittle from those slaps flying over here.]
Qin Xian froze for a moment, his face also beginning to heat up, but finally seized the opportunity and gradually tightened his embrace, intoxicated by the soft, fragrant body in his arms.
He just wondered if Ji Fei could feel his quickening heartbeat.
The scene was so captivating that the Qin family missed another chance to witness their own romance, assuming Ji Fei was just making sarcastic comments. Their eyes were fixed on the slapping show.
After about twenty slaps, Fan Shi's face was so swollen she could only drool, and that's when they finally stopped.
But she still looked at Luo Fei through her tears.
Luo Fei frowned, thinking about how his previous image had really made Fan Shi take him for a fool. He wanted to punch himself for being so stupid.
"Your tendency to fall in love with people who abuse you is your own business, and I have no right to criticize it. But keep your special fetishes to yourselves - why drag me into your love games? This goes beyond mere heartlessness. Fan Shi, I'll write off our past time together as wasted."
Fan Shi's swollen lips trembled as she finally turned to look at Tang Yu, then cried until she fainted.
Even then, no one felt sorry for her.
Luo Fei immediately arranged for an ambulance to be called and had servants pack up Fan Shi's personal belongings to give to Tang Yu.
When Tang Yu tried to leave, he was restrained by Luo Fei's police colleagues and military cousins.
When the ambulance arrived, Fan Shi was loaded in, and Tang Yu was forced to go with her.
The nurse tremblingly asked what had happened.
"This is the father of the child she's carrying," someone said.
Tang Yu struggled desperately, glaring at Luo Fei with blazing eyes that seemed to say, "Just you wait!"
Luo Fei dismissed him with contempt. In the distance, Wu Xingqing watched Tang Yu's disgraceful behavior with a broken heart, endlessly regretting her poor choice until Qin's Mother came forward with the Qin family to comfort her.
Finally, at Luo's Father's frustrated direction, the butler went along. Since Fan Shi and Luo Fei truly had no relationship anymore, there was no reason for him to go.
But the child in Fan Shi's womb was still of Luo family blood, so they couldn't completely ignore the situation.
After the troublemakers were gone, Luo's Mother came to Luo Fei's side.
"Son, don't blame me for exposing everything this way and making you lose face. I was afraid you'd soften your heart and let this despicable woman continue to deceive you, so I had to cut off that possibility. Besides, if we didn't take this opportunity to make it public and told you privately later, people would speculate when you divorced, thinking our family had mistreated a pregnant vulnerable woman. I couldn't let people wrongly assume you abandoned your wife and child - losing face doesn't matter as long as we can expose their true nature and prove your innocence! This way you can still find a good girl in the future."
Luo Fei smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Mom, for letting me know the truth. And that's just how it is - I was stupid, and I deserve to lose face."
"Also, if we hadn't made this public, others wouldn't know what evil deeds that illegitimate child committed. The Luo family would have concealed everything to save face, and after time passed, that illegitimate child might have acted like nothing happened and been accepted back into the Luo family, claiming his heritage. I absolutely cannot let someone who schemed against you gain any advantage."
Luo Fei saw his mother's exhausted face still so thoughtfully considering his interests, and felt immense pain for her.
"Mom, I'm sorry I was useless. I know you're suffering more than I am right now. Don't hold back - whatever you want to do, I'm on your side."
Luo Fei understood his mother well.
Others couldn't hear what Luo's Mother said, they only saw Luo Fei nod in agreement.
Luo's Father awkwardly tried to approach the mother and son to discuss arrangements for the guests' departure. After all, with the wedding cancelled, the guests would naturally need to leave.
But then they saw Luo's Mother turn to address all the guests: "Since we have so many people here, I'll take this opportunity to announce something."
As she spoke, Luo's Mother, with bloodshot eyes, turned a cold gaze toward Luo's Father.
As husband and wife naturally understand each other, Luo's Father immediately panicked and tried to step forward, but was blocked by his own son.
"You!" Luo's Father exploded in anger.
Luo Fei just lowered his eyes in silence.
"Luo Qiang, I, Mei Wen, formally announce today that I want a divorce from you. Tomorrow, my lawyer will contact you, and regarding the money you've spent over these years supporting your mistress and illegitimate child behind my back, I will account for everything. I will reclaim all marital assets that should be recovered," Luo's Mother declared directly. "Also, this villa is under my name - please leave immediately!"
Luo's Father's face finally turned ashen.
The guests, still absorbed in the previous explosive revelations, were stunned.
What was this? Was today not auspicious for marriage but for divorce instead? One after another... All they could say was that attending today's event was incredibly worth it - it was all juicy drama!
*Hiccup*
