"If they've got the guts..." Davina Shen spoke again.
"Auntie, don't worry. If this matter isn't resolved after tomorrow, it won't be too late for you to go!" Randy Ling reassured.
"Besides, aren't we going to the Qin family to celebrate Viola's grandfather's birthday soon?" he added.
"Dad, I don't want to go to grandpa's house, I don't want to go..."
Viola leaned on Randy Ling's shoulder and shook her head vigorously, tears in her eyes.
"Viola, dad promises that no one will dare to bully you again this time." Randy Ling patted Viola's back gently.
"I don't want to go, I really don't want to go!" Viola choked up.
"Viola, be a good girl," Arabella Qin said, feeling heartbroken when she saw her daughter's distress. "Tell them that your father is back and tell them not to talk about you again."
"Then... okay," Viola stopped crying. "I must tell them that I have a father, and my father is a great hero!"
Arabella took Viola from Randy's arms and said, "Mom and dad will accompany you this time. No one will bully you again."
"Viola, didn't they say you don't have a father? You just happened to take your father to show them this time," Lucinda Qin chimed in.
At 5:30 in the evening, Randy Ling and a group of six people arrived at a restaurant in the center of Dongzhou.
The birthday party of Andrew Qin, the old man of the Qin family, was being held there.
"Yeah! Viola is a good girl!" Lucinda Qin said with a smile.
Davina Shen opened her mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent.
At the main table, a woman with heavy makeup spoke in a sinister tone.
She was about the same age as Arabella Qin, with fair facial features, a curvaceous figure, and layers of makeup on her face.
After the six people entered the designated private room, they looked around and noticed three tables in total, with many people already seated. Andrew Qin occupied the host's seat.
"Hey, uncle, you guys are here. I thought you wouldn't come to grandpa's birthday party this year because you can't afford it!"
"Who is he?" Jemima Qin inquired, her eyes catching Randy Ling standing behind with Viola in his arms.
After a brief pause, she turned to Arabella Qin: "Cousin, is this your side piece?"
The woman was Arabella's second uncle's daughter, Jemima Qin!
Next to her sat a young man in his mid-20s, sporting designer clothes, slick hair, and a smug expression.
"Jemima Qin, shut up!" Arabella Qin responded angrily.
"Hey, you found yourself a worthless man, and you're afraid of others telling you?" Jemima Qin sneered.
"You've been living your whole life in misery, just look at the man you've chosen!"
"At first glance, she looks like a poor loser. Her whole outfit probably costs less than two hundred yuan, right?"
Viola immediately burst into tears. "You're a bad person! I won't talk to you again..."
"What a jerk!" Jemima Qin sneered.
"You're not allowed to say that about Dad. Dad is a great hero!" Viola shouted angrily.
"You little brat, shut up. You don't even know who your father is, and you still call him Dad!" Jemima Qin yelled loudly.
But before she could utter more insults, Randy Ling stepped forward, Viola in his arms, and stared at Jemima Qin with a cold gaze.
"What do you want to do?" Jemima Qin quivered upon sensing Randy Ling's coldness.
Davina Shen's face registered surprise. She hadn't expected Randy Ling to have such courage. Her relief was palpable; she'd wanted to slap Jemima Qin for a long time but never had the nerve.
Without a word, Randy Ling raised his hand and slapped Jemima Qin with force. The makeup on her face fell to the ground like snow.
"Huh!?" Everyone turned to look with surprise.
"You... you dare to hit me?" Jemima Qin shouted hysterically after a moment.
"You jerk, how dare you question me? I'll make you regret it!" she threatened.
Lucinda Qin, however, gazed at Randy Ling with admiration. He was quite something!
Arabella Qin was momentarily stunned, wanting to say something but ultimately choosing not to.
"From now on, if you dare to call Viola a bastard again, you won't speak again!"
"You..." Jemima Qin tried to say something, but Randy Ling's cold glare silenced her.
Slap! Slap!
Before she could finish, two crisp sounds resonated, leaving Jemima Qin's cheeks swollen.
"Bastard!" Andrew Qin slammed a teacup on the dining table, seething with anger. "Who is he? Are you trying to rebel, Nohe Qin?"
"Dad, he's Viola's biological father, Randy Ling!" Nohe Qin responded after taking a deep breath.
"Sir, have you gone too far? Beating someone in front of so many people, do you think we are invisible?" The young man next to Jemima Qin frowned.
"If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better shut up!" Randy Ling retorted sternly.
"Now, after those slaps, there's no need to bring it up again!" he added.
"Huh!?" Andrew Qin grew even angrier upon hearing Nohe Qin's words. He had hoped to discuss with his father today, considering if the family could arrange a job for Arabella Qin in Dongzhou so they could move back.
"You're not welcome here. Get out!" All the Qin family members glared at Randy Ling, itching for a fight.
Randy Ling gazed back and said angrily, "Are you the one who tarnished Arabella Qin's innocence back then?"
"How dare you appear in front of our Qin family!"
"Viola, be good and don't be afraid. Dad will take you away later." Randy Ling comforted Viola, who was trembling.
"It's you, you beast of a man!" Jemima Qin, having regained her composure, gritted her teeth and shouted again. For them, it was Randy Ling who had ruined their chance to climb up the social ladder. Otherwise, the Qin family would have been successful by now!
"Dad, let's go. I don't want to be here..." Viola trembled, seeing Andrew Qin's twisted expression.
"Grandpa, what happened back then was consensual. I won't blame Randy Ling!"
"If you don't want him here, we can leave. But I hope you won't call Viola a bastard again in the future!"
"Jemima Qin, shut up!" Arabella Qin yelled angrily.
Then, she took a deep breath, bit her lip, and turned to Andrew Qin, speaking firmly, "Randy Ling is Viola's biological father and my fiancé. We're getting married soon!"
Whoosh!
After those words, countless eyes turned towards them in shock.
