Lù Yue’an was stunned for a moment before saying again, “Lu Ning, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have wrongly accused you. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Mommy and Daddy.”
Lu Ning sneered. “On behalf?”
Shi Qingyue seemed to be provoked by her words. “Don’t push your luck. Do you really want your elders to bow and apologize to you?!”
Lu Ning looked at her with a faint smile. “Well, vou can dispense with the bowing. ”
In other words, she still had to apologize.
In a panic, Shi Qingyue was about to step forward when Li Chuan grabbed her wrist, shaking his head. Standing beside Lù Yue’an, Lù Chuan said, “Ning’ning, it’s Dad… No, it’s Uncle LWs fault for blaming you. In the future, we will still…”
Before he could finish, Lu Ning interrupted him. “I’ll take this as an apology for neglecting and disregarding me for so many years. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Lb family anymore. It’ll be good for the two families to remain strangers.”
Lù Chuan choked on his words, unable to say anything else.
Shi Qingyue panted heavily. Furious, she stepped forward, grabbed Lù Yue’an’s hand and turned to leave. “Let’s go home!”
“Wait.
She spoke again.
“What else do you want? Didn’t I already apologize to you… Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, she was pounced on by a figure who suddenly rushed out.
Looking up, she saw that it was Zhao Lingling.
She wanted to catch Lù Yue’an, but her inertia was too great and she could not control herself, so she bowled into her. Lb Yue’an managed to stand firm, but Shi Qingyue, who was beside her, was knocked over.
Lù Chuan hurriedly bent down to support her.
“It’s not me! I didn’t do it! An’an, say something! I can’t get punished! My parents will beat me to death!”
Zhao Lingling anxiously grabbed Lù Yue’an’s arms.
Lù Yue’an was shocked. She struggled to escape her grip, but Zhao Lingling’s grip was very tight, like a vice clamped tightly around her arm.
“Tell them! Tell them the truth! It’s not me! It’s all your…”
Lù Yue’an anxiously exclaimed, “It’s your own evil thoughts that made you frame and slander others! How can I help you say anything?! What can I say for you?!”
She had always behaved demure in front of others; this was the first time she was seen yelling so agitatedly.
Zhao Lingling was stunned by her roar, but she was still unwilling to let go.
Lù Yue’an stared at her, and so did she.
Zhao Lingling’s eyes were red and bloodshot, making her look a little scary.
Lù Yue’an looked at her and lowered her voice, as if she was comforting or coaxing her. “Lingling, as long as you admit your mistake and repent, we can still be friends. I’ll speak up for you, I’ll help you tell Uncle and Auntie. They won’t hit you.”
To Zhao Lingling and Wu Tian, the meaning of these words was: Accept this crime and stop spouting nonsense. I’ll still treat you the same as before. IfI have something good for you, I’ll put in a good word for your family at the Lil residence.
Zhao Lingling’s eyes seemed to crack, overwhelmed with some emotion.
Supported by Lù Chuan, Shi Qingyue stood up and looked at Zhao Lingling. She took two steps forward and shoved her away. “You were the one who did something wrong, leave my daughter alone?!”
Zhao Lingling staggered from the push, but Wu Tian caught her from behind.
Zhao Lingling looked at Li Yue’an in a daze. She did not know what to say, and only tears kept flowing from her eyes.
Wu Tian glanced at her, bit her lip, and turned to look at Lù Yue’an.
Lù Yue’an looked at her, indifferent.
“Keep an eye on her..”
