Chapter 588:1 Am Your Father
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I am your father,” Rong Qi teased with a smirk and a slightly roguish tone.
Those four words were enough to infuriate Ye Shaoxian. Clenching his fists, he approached Rong Qi, who stood her ground, hands in her pockets, wearing a playful smile.
The two were at odds like fire and water.
Fan Hui, sensing the brewing conflict, quickly stepped between them. “Master Shaoxian, this is Master Shen’s wife, Madam Rong Qi.”
The hostility was palpable from their first encounter, and Fan Hui, no fool, saw the animosity between them. She was anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. Fan Hui was aware of Ye Shaoxian’s vengeful nature and Rong Qi’s provocation. Fan Hui feared the troubles that might ensue. A fight at the family dinner was the last thing they needed.
Ye Shaoxian, his face contorting with fury, sneered after hearing Fan Hui’s words, “Nanshen’s wife? So, you’re that cripple’s woman. I was wondering what kind of man would marry a crazy woman like you. If it’s Ye Nanshen, then it’s no wonder.”
“Master Shaoxian, you shouldn’t say that!” Fan Hui warned.
“Shouldn’t I? Ha, do you know what this wicked woman did to me? Since we’ve met here, let’s settle both new and old scores!” Ye Shaoxian said.
Fan Hui gasped, turning to look at Rong Qi, and saw Rong Qi’s lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Boy, could you repeat what you just said?” Rong Qi asked. Her comment only heightened the tension.
Fan Hui, trying to defuse the situation, pleaded, “Madam, please calm down. The family dinner is about to start. Shall we go fetch your things first?”
Fan Hui was trying to persuade Rong Qi, hoping to avoid a confrontation. However, as Fan Hui spoke, Ye Shaoxian suddenly pushed aside. She stumbled, nearly falling into the pond, but Rong Qi quickly caught her, saving her from the fall.
Shaken, Fan Hui stood by helplessly, her hands on her chest, as the confrontation escalated.
Ye Shaoxian stepped forward with venom in his voice, “I’ll say what I like to say. You’re crazy! You think I’m afraid of you? Watch me knock you down today!”
Rolling up his sleeves and clenching his fists, Ye Shaoxian aimed a punch at Rong Qi’s face.
Fan Hui, terrified, was about to call for help when she saw Rong Qi sidestep gracefully, blocking Ye Shaoxian’s attack with a swift hand-chop. She didn’t even budge.
In the next instant, Rong Qi’s right fist struck Ye Shaoxian’s stomach, followed by a kick behind his knee.
THUD!
Ye Shaoxian knelt before Rong Qi.
Rong Qi tilted her head and said, “How polite, little boy. Just for a family dinner, and you’re kneeling to me. Tsk tsk, but I’m not planning to give you a present.”
Ye Shaoxian, kneeling, clutched his stomach in agony. He cursed inwardly, ‘Damn it! How could a woman have such strength?! Is this the aftereffect of being a retard, as rumored about Ye Nanshen’s wife?’

Pain prevented Ye Shaoxian from speaking.
Fan Hui, witnessing how Rong Qi easily subdued Ye Shaoxian, couldn’t help but admire her.
Fan Hui stepped forward and said, “Madam, let’s go fetch your things. Everyone must be waiting.”
As Fan Hui reached to help Ye Shaoxian up, he shoved her away, snarling, “Get lost!”
After a moment, Ye Shaoxian managed to speak through clenched teeth, “Crazy woman, you dare hit me here? Just wait! Let’s see how I deal with you at the family dinner!”
