“My wings are clipped, unlike you guys. If I want to act in the shows I enjoy, I will have to enter a marriage alliance as per my family’s choosing.” Cheng Zhen sighed.

Luo Ying had seen the interactions between Cheng Zhen and Yan Xin over the past few days. She had thought that they would already be kicking things off, but she did not expect such an obstacle.

“Then… Is there no chance at all?” Luo Ying felt sorry for them.

“Guess so.” Cheng Zhen turned her head and pretended to talk to Luo Ying seriously. She avoided Yan Xin’s gaze and pretended to be relaxed as she said, “My family has already arranged for me to wed a very powerful officer. I can’t afford to cross him.”

Cheng Zhen did not even seem to convince herself.

Luo Ying was about to say something, but a loud noise suddenly came from beside her.

“Did I pay for your education so that you could fool around with men in the middle of the night?!” An unfamiliar middle-aged man roared, attracting everyone’s attention.

Shockingly, he grabbed Chen Yue by the hair and nearly lifted her off the ground. With his other hand, he flipped the entire table.

“Ah!” As her hair was yanked, Chen Yue screamed in agony.

“What are you doing?!” The table was flipped over, sending plates and glasses flying. Both Su Li and Yan Xinj who happened to be at the same table, jumped to their feet in an instant to get away from it.

The crew was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, and they scrambled to avoid the flying debris and shattered plates.

Lu Zhao subconsciously protected Luo Ying.

Even after the commotion of breaking glass, screams, and shouts, the man continued to roar and grab at Chen Yue, trying to yank her away.

Luo Ying, who was close to him, reacted immediately. She quickly stood up and stopped him. “What are you doing?! Let go, you’re hurting her!”

Chen Yue’s hair was being pulled, so she held it, hoping to relieve some of the pressure. She made an effort to remove the man’s hand.

“Who are you? I am trying to set an example for my daughter; what does that have to do with you?” The middle-aged man reeked of alcohol. He kept cursing. He made a motion as if he were about to slap Luo Ying.

However, a strong force prevented his hand from touching down.

“You dare?” Lu Zhao used his strength to restrain the man’s right wrist and press it behind the man’s back before the man could react. The iciness of his tone was unmatched.

He squeezed his wrist even harder, and the man cried out in agony, “Ah!”

“I don’t care who you area Just talk it out and let it go, people!” Su Li reacted as well. He hopped over the cluttered floor and grabbed the older man from the other side.

The man, however, clung to Chen Yue’s hair and would not let go. On the contrary, he yanked her downwards even more forcefully. “I’m her father! How dare you kidnap and sell underage children?!”

“Ah! You’re not my dad! No! I’m an adult! You can’t control me!”

Chen Yue yelled out in agony, tears streaming down her face.

Nothing else mattered to Luo Ying. Her first priority was keeping Chen Yue safe from the shards of porcelain that littered the floor.

“Let go of her!”

“What do you mean, stealing minors? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

“Even if you’re her father, you can’t hit her! “I’m calling the police. Let go of Chen Yue!”

“Are you insane?

It was a chaotic scene. Finally, the rest of the crew caught on to what was happening and moved in to try to stop them.

But the man’s grip on Chen Yue’s hair was too tight. If they pushed the man, Chen Yue would be in pain. For a moment, no one could touch him.

As she struggled, Luo Ying caught sight of the nearby tables and yelled,

“Zhenzhen! Douse him with that kettle!”

Cheng Zhen reached across the room for the kettle sitting on the table. She held the kettle over the man’s arm. “Let go!”

“Let your mom… Ah!” The man was about to swear when hot water was poured on his arm. He reflexively let go.

Luo Ying seized the moment to untangle Chen Yue’s hair. Without turning around, she yelled, “Hold him down!”

Lu Zhao sidestepped the man, lifted his knee, and slammed it down hard into the man’s stomach. He pressed down on the man’s neck with one hand and his wrist with the other, pinning him to the floor.

Su Li and the others also rushed forward to hold the man.

“Watch out for the shards!” Yan Xin reached out and pulled Chen Yue to her feet, then dragged her away from the mayhem.

“Are you alright?” He cast a tense glance at Luo Ying and Chen Yue. There were far too many shards of porcelain lying around..
