Every word of his seemed like another dagger stabbing at Luo Zheng’s heart.
Every thread that was holding her rationality together seemed to have broken completely!
“Apologise? Bo Hancheng, you want me to apologize to her!?! I’m telling you, no way! Over my dead body…” Luo Zheng’s voice was sharp and shrill, and she sounded extremely miserable.
Everyone that was watching the commotion, suddenly began gossiping amongst themselves again.
“This girl looks pretty young. Even if she’s mentally unsound, she shouldn’t hold herself so cheap…”
“Tsk, tsk, not only did she become the third party of someone else’s relationship, she’s even pestering him brazenly…”
“I’ve only ever seen the rightful spouse hitting the home wrecker and never the other way around. It’s an eye-opener! She’s denied the chance to be his mistress and yet, she still refuses to admit her mistake and even hit the rightful spouse…”
…
Mu Nianqing’s eyes glistened upon hearing their discussions.
However, something was clear.
Luo Zheng knew who she was and harbored a strong animosity towards her. Why was that so?
All along, she had been abiding by the Mu Family’s instructions and avoiding Luo Zheng. Hence they’ve never met before!
She thought that the only possibility was that Luo Zheng knew about her relationship with the Mu Family and that they were half-sisters.
However, they weren’t actually half-siblings because Luo Zheng… wasn’t Mu Tianwei’s biological daughter and hence had nothing to do with the Mu Family at all!
Of course, only the Mu Family knew about that and there was no way Luo Zheng would know about it.
What a pitiful girl. She lost her mother at a young age and the Mu Family deliberately raised her to become a spoiled wastrel. She even ended up falling out with her only family left, the Luo Family… For more than a decade, she had been living in a world full of lies fabricated by the Mu Family!
Sometimes, Mu Nianqing could not help but take pity on the pathetic Luo Zheng.
After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Nianqing strode forward and said graciously, “Mr. Bo, I think this little girl is a little confused. She probably didn’t hit me on purpose. I’ll just forgive her.”
Luo Zheng stared at Mu Nianqing who was standing beside him and she felt that they looked extremely compatible with each other, like a match made in heaven, regardless of which angle she looked from.
“Mu Nianqing… who needs your forgiveness? Who are you to say that…”
Luo Zheng glowered at Mu Nianqing in disdain while her swollen and reddened eyes grew bloodshot because of all that crying. Her gaze was full of hatred and resentment.
She felt a wrenching pain in her heart and she felt as if she had returned to the previous lifetime where she was hopelessly in love with Xi Mubai for ten years. Yet, he still defended Mu Nianqing in the same way as Bo Hancheng did, and even forced Luo Zheng into getting a divorce and donating her kidney to Mu Nianqing. Back then, she had no choice but to admit defeat.
She mouthed, “Luo Zheng, you’ve lost.”
Mu Nianqing’s words were like an unbreakable curse that continuously replayed in Luo Zheng’s head, making it almost impossible for her to breathe!
I don’t want to lose, I won’t lose and I can’t lose… I’ve already lost in my previous life. Why should I let history repeat itself?
“How am I inferior to Mu Nianqing… you chose her… you chose her… why did you all choose her… what about me? Who am I to you!?! What do you people take me for…”
Luo Zheng glanced at Mu Nianqing before turning to stare at Bo Hancheng while questioning him.
At this moment, everything seemed to have overlapped with the previous life.
She felt like she was watching her past tragedy getting reenacted. Luo Zheng felt like she was trapped in the dungeon of her sorrowful memories!
Although no one could understand what was going on with Luo Zheng, they could not help but feel a little sympathetic after hearing her miserable and agonizing voice.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped gossiping and silence filled the hall.
All eyes were on Luo Zheng who was still beautiful despite being disheveled. They watched as she cried helplessly while slipping into a trance.
“I know… I’ve always known… that no man in this world will ever love me truly… but you’re different… you’re my only saving grace… you’re my Mr. Bodyguard… how could you do that to me…”
