“I seek your forgiveness, Young Master Gu. My daughter probably just had too much to drink. She’s not stirring trouble on purpose! I’ll take her home immediately…”
Seeing that Gu Changye had intervened, Mu Tianwei’s heart skipped a beat.
If he doesn’t stop Luo Zheng, she would definitely cause the Mu Family to be blacklisted by the Gu Family. If that were to happen, wouldn’t all of his efforts go in vain?
After all, they needed Gu Changye to help the Mu Family and hence, he couldn’t let the bastard child Luo Zheng ruin it!
“Zheng, are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you home…”
Mu Tianwei then stepped forward to grab Luo Zheng.
Seeing this, Xi Mubai felt an instant sense of relief and he reckoned that Luo Zheng would probably listen to her father and leave the place. Hence, he took a step back and made space for Mu Tianwei.
To his surprise, Luo Zheng was no longer in the mood to pretend.
Resenting Mu Nianqing would be the same as resenting the Mu Family.
Hence, before Mu Tianwei could even touch her, Luo Zheng snapped out of her trance and smacked his hand away. “Get lost, don’t touch me!”
All of a sudden, Mu Tianwei felt incredibly embarrassed to have Luo Zheng push him away and lash out at him.
At this moment, Luo Shuyuan too, stepped forward while feeling heartbroken about Luo Zheng.
Although he didn’t know what happened and why his niece had gotten into a conflict with Mu Tianwei… he could not help but sympathise with her because she was being criticized by others while feeling miserable.
However, Luo Shuyuan sensed that something was amiss with Luo Zheng. He did not reach out to grab her out of nowhere and instead asked softly, “Zheng, are you alright?”
Luo Zheng bit her lip while her eyes turned bloodshot, seemingly recovering from her extreme shock and bewilderment.
“Uncle… I’m alright…”
Her voice was hoarse and she sounded like she was sobbing when she replied.
Upon hearing her words, Luo Shuyuan felt relieved and he asked, “Will you come home with me?”
Before Luo Zheng could even answer, Mu Tianwei almost flew into a rage and he interjected, “Mr. Luo, please mind your own business. My daughter… is obviously going to come home with me to the Mu Family home!”
Mu Tianwei then stepped forward again in a bid to drag Luo Zheng away.
Being weak and feeble, Luo Zheng was almost being dragged helplessly by Mu Tianwei. Even if she tried to struggle, it was to no avail. “I’m not leaving… I still have something… to ask him…”
She had already said everything there was to say, even if she shouldn’t have. There was one last question she had left.
She had to hear his answer. Otherwise… she wouldn’t give up!
“Zheng, aren’t you embarrassed enough? Come home with me!”
Mu Tianwei had a sullen expression on his face and he ignored Luo Zheng’s incessant and incoherent murdering. He was just trying to drag her away, regardless of her feebleness.
However, Luo Shuyuan stepped forward to stop him. He barked sternly, “She’s your daughter but she’s also my niece! Mu Tianwei, don’t go against your conscience. Aren’t you afraid that my late sister will hold it against you!?!”
Despite being held down and pulled away forcefully by Mu Tianwei, Luo Zheng turned around and stared at Bo Hancheng. “Bo Hancheng, I want to ask you a question! I still have something to ask you…”
Bo Hancheng was just like an outsider as he remained composed while staring at her.
All of a sudden, he said coldly, “I know you have a question but unfortunately… I don’t want to hear it.”
Luo Zheng’s eyes widened in shock and turned empty for a long time, as if she had lost her soul.
Her blood began to boil within her body and she began to show signs of a drug relapse!
All of a sudden, she raised her hand to cover her eyes while a ringing sound filled her mind. She muttered under her breath, “Are all men in this world… so fickle… even Mr. Bodyguard… is so cruel…”
