Mrs. Xi utterly detested Luo Zheng too.
“Tsk tsk, I’m making compromises and yet, you guys are pushing it so far! She wouldn’t have to go to jail so long as she lets me slap her! Forget it, I’ll do as you wish and compel you. Miss Xi, I wish you a pleasant stay in prison in advance!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Zheng turned around to leave.
Mrs. Xi was infuriated. Seeing that Luo Zheng was refusing to give in, she stared at her daughter hesitantly.
It seemed that Xi Qianqian would not have to go to jail as long as she suffered a few slaps. It did not seem like too much of a sacrifice… Besides, Xi Qianqian was the one who started it all. However, she felt indignant!
She thought, my daughter is so prestigious. What rights does Luo Zheng have to hit her!?!
With tears in her eyes, Xi Qianqian frantically yelled at Luo Zheng, “You, come back! You are not allowed to leave… ”
After a pause, she forced herself to give in and apologize softly, “Luo Zheng, it was my fault just now, I shouldn’t have been muddled up and tried to push you down the building! However, you can’t use this to threaten me and torture me! At most, I promise I won’t embarrass you again… ”
Xi Qianqian could not bring herself to let Luo Zheng slap her… Hence, she felt that she was making a huge compromise by saying those words!
Luo Zheng grimaced derisively and continued to step forward while ignoring them.
“Mother, Father, I don’t want to go to jail! I can’t go to jail… ”
Xi Qianqian’s face turned as pale as a sheet and she spoke anxiously.
However, there was nothing Mrs. Xi could do. Xi Mubai’s face was incredibly pale and she was unsure of what he was thinking.
At last, Xi Qianqian clenched her jaw forcefully and glared at Luo Zheng’s back.
This b*tch really refuses to give in at all. If I don’t want to go to jail, I would have to let Luo Zheng slap me… I shall remember this and make her pay for this!
“Luo Zheng, I’ll let you slap me!”
Xi Qianqian’s eyes turned red and she barked while trying to bear with the insult.
Unfortunately, she was full of vengeance and resentment. She did not reflect on her own mistakes at all, nor did she realize that she had brought it upon herself!
She had long expected this to be the outcome! Luo Zheng smirked and stopped in her tracks.
There was a reason why she wanted to slap Xi Qianqian instead of insisting that Xi Qianqian go to jail!
The Xi Family was one of the four greatest and richest families of Beijing and as the heiress of the Xi Family, Xi Qianqian was loved and spoiled by everyone of the family… Hence, if she were to go to jail, the Xi Family would definitely step in to pull their connections and get her out of jail.
Besides, the Xi Family and the Luo Family were on close terms too.
If the Xi family really went to the Luo family to plead with her uncle or grandfather, they would probably in turn persuade her to give in.
Although Xi Qianqian pushed her, there was no real damage done… if she were to insist that it was just a scuffle, she may not be charged for murder.
If the crime were to be downplayed, all her effort would go in vain!
At the end of the day, there was no benefit or interest for her.
Hence, she might as well take the chance to vent her anger while Mrs. Xi had yet to think through it clearly!
She wanted to slap Xi Qianqian since a long time ago and to Xi Qianqian, bearing with the humiliation of getting slapped was better than going to jail.
After making up her mind, Luo Zheng slowly turned around and said with a look of satisfaction, “Miss Xi, you’re really smart, you do know how to weigh the pros and cons! Don’t worry, I know my limits and I’ll try to be gentle… ”
“Luo Zheng, just you wait and see! I won’t let you keep being smug… ”
Xi Qianqian glared at Luo Zheng angrily like she was her greatest enemy.
Luo Zheng was too lazy to answer and she simply raised her hand to slap her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xi’s heart wrenched up and she glowered at Luo Zheng while Xi Qianqian bit her lip and closed her eyes, waiting for Luo Zheng to slap her.
She was about to slap Xi Qianqian.
However, when they were an inch away from her, they were suddenly stopped by a hand!
