As Lin Yuanshan questioned and accused Lin Hao.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Hao was surrounded.
Some of these people Lin Hao recognized, while others he had never seen before.
Seeing everyone surround Lin Hao, Lin Yuanshan immediately put on a triumphant expression and threatened Lin Hao, "Lin Hao, tell everyone here today, what exactly do you mean?"
"As everyone knows, you have been expelled from the Lin family."
"Today is Song'er's joyous occasion, and I didn't make things difficult for you. It's not impossible to let you enter the Lin family's door, or even let you have a meal."
"But what have you done from beginning to end? You even claimed you wanted to disrupt my Lin family's marriage with the Fifth Family."
"If you, this unfilial son, don't put my Lin family in your eyes, that's one thing. Do you not even put the Fifth Family in your eyes?"
As Lin Yuanshan uttered this last sentence, the surrounding crowd immediately started pointing fingers at Lin Hao.
Many of them knew Lin Hao. In their eyes, Lin Hao was still the same Lin Hao, the useless Lin Hao who had been expelled from the family.
Especially today, it was a joyous occasion for the Lin family and the Fifth Family.
Therefore, after hearing Lin Yuanshan's words, they immediately began to accuse Lin Hao.
After all, Lin Hao was just a good-for-nothing. If they could gain some favor in front of the Fifth Family and the Lin family by stepping on him, it would be quite good.
"Lin Hao, it is important to have self-awareness. Since you have been expelled from the Lin family, you are naturally no longer a member of the Lin family."
"If you are not a Lin family member, you cannot interfere in Lin family affairs, especially on such a joyous occasion."
"To be honest, it is already an act of utmost benevolence for Uncle Lin to allow you to enter the Lin family's door today and even agree to let you attend the banquet and drink wedding wine."
"Now, not only are you not thanking him, but you are also claiming that you want to disrupt the Lin family's joyous occasion."
"Honestly, this is only happening in the Lin family, and it is because Uncle Lin is benevolent."
"Otherwise, if it were in my Xu family, you would have been torn apart by five horses."
As he spoke, a young man dressed in opulent attire slowly walked out.
Seeing the young man emerge, the expressions of the surrounding crowd changed slightly, and they immediately began to voice their agreement.
This young man was no ordinary person; he was Xu Jie from the Chang'an Xu family.
The Xu family, as an old family in Chang'an, was even slightly feared by the currently thriving Fifth Family.
Especially the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Yijian, who was a renowned Huajin Grandmaster.
Although it was rumored outside that the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Yijian, had long since ascended to immortality.
This was ultimately just a rumor, with no substantial evidence.
Therefore, even with these rumors, no one in the region of Chang'an dared to show the slightest disrespect to the Xu family.
After all, if the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Yijian, was truly not dead.
Then offending the Xu family would undoubtedly lead to a dead end.
It was known that existences at the Huajin Grandmaster level possessed a certain bargaining power even before the state.
Therefore, even though rumors about the Xu family were flying everywhere, ultimately, no one dared to make any rash moves.
Lin Hao looked at the rather handsome man before him. With a single call, the surrounding crowd immediately echoed his sentiments and began to curse him. Lin Hao was momentarily stunned, then looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Hao was asking a polite question, his intention clear.
That is, he would not act against those with whom he had no significant enmity, nor would he kill innocent people.
However, these words immediately infuriated Xu Jie.
Five years ago, his father had brought him to meet Lin Hao's grandfather, Lin Daozi, and Lin Hao was also present.
This meant that Lin Hao clearly knew him but was now pretending not to.
And this was happening in front of so many guests and relatives.
Thinking of this, Xu Jie was instantly enraged and said to Lin Hao through gritted teeth, "Lin Hao! Stop playing dumb!"
Xu Jie's cold reprimand, filled with anger, also ignited some of the sycophants among the onlookers.
As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, these people began to attack Lin Hao one after another.
After all, Lin Hao was an expelled good-for-nothing from the Lin family, so there was nothing improper about them joining in to condemn him.
Although their families were individually weak, together, they believed Lin Hao would not dare to do anything to them.
Therefore, as soon as Xu Jie spoke, the onlookers became restless and all began to voice their agreement.
As the crowd attacked him with their words, Lin Hao finally understood what was going on.
However, understanding it or not, Lin Hao was too lazy to argue with them. He directly looked at Xu Jie and said indifferently, "Are you from the Xu family?"
Lin Hao was aware of the Chang'an Xu family.
It was just that the Lin family and the Chang'an Xu family had not had much interaction in the past.
Therefore, Lin Hao was also slightly puzzled.
His grandfather had mentioned that the ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Yijian, was a very formidable figure.
Although Lin Hao did not know how formidable Xu Yijian, the ancestor of the Xu family, was.
He knew that anyone his grandfather called formidable must have some extraordinary qualities.
And as Lin Hao was contemplating this, Xu Jie, hearing Lin Hao's question, was immediately choked with anger.
He felt that Lin Hao was doing this intentionally.
And the sole purpose of doing so was to suppress him.
However, how could a mere good-for-nothing suppress him?
Did he really think he was still the spirited Lin Hao from before he was expelled from the Lin family?
In the past, relying on the family's reputation, Xu Jie might have been somewhat apprehensive of Lin Hao.
After all, the mere Xu family was incomparable to the Lin family.
Although the overall strength of the Lin family had not increased at that time.
But with Lin Hao's grandfather, Lin Daozi, presiding over the Lin family, the Lin family's status was basically unshakable.
And now.
Not only was the Lin family's patriarch, Old Master Lin, gone, but the Lin family as a whole.
Its overall strength had fallen behind other families by more than a little.
Therefore, let alone Lin Hao being an abandoned son expelled from the Lin family.
Even if Lin Hao were a direct descendant of the Lin family, he would not be afraid of Lin Hao given the Lin family's current strength.
Thinking this, Xu Da looked at Lin Hao and said indifferently, "Xu Jie from the Xu family."
"Lin Hao, I advise you to apologize to Uncle Lin quickly so that Uncle Lin can forgive you."
"Then, I will put in a good word for Uncle Lin, and perhaps this matter can be let go today."
"Therefore, I advise you to quickly kneel down and kowtow to Uncle Lin."
At this point, a hint of excitement appeared in Xu Jie's eyes as he looked at Lin Hao.
