For Murong Wanwan, she was extremely angry at Hua Zijun!
Previously, not only did he verbally insult her, but he also spoke to her in a thuggish manner! Having been the princess since childhood, Murong Wanwan had never been subjected to such filthy language, how could she possibly swallow such an insult?
Since she couldn’t swallow it, of course she wouldn’t easily let Hua Zijun off the hook. She had to make him kneel and apologize!
This trap was one she had carefully designed; if she didn’t make Hua Zijun kneel, wouldn’t all her efforts have been in vain? Murong Wanwan was still waiting to see the drama unfold.
Seeing that Murong Wanwan wouldn’t forgive him, Hua Zijun’s face darkened as he said solemnly, "Miss Murong, we are all people of status, living by our faces. Do you really have to be happy only if I completely lose face?"
"Ha, I do want you to completely lose face, that’s what would make grandma here feel truly delighted! What’s the matter, can’t accept it?"
Murong Wanwan sneered, throwing him a ’come and bite me if you can’ look.
Hua Zijun took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Miss Murong, can’t you step back considering the reputation of the Hua Family? Let’s just let this matter go. It’s better for everyone! Surely our families don’t need to get this hostile, right?"
"Step back, grandma here? Heh, when you were insulting me just now, why didn’t you think of giving me face, think of stepping back?"
Murong Wanwan coldly scoffed, disdainfully saying, "Since you didn’t step back, what makes you think grandma here should step back? Besides, who do you think you are? Does our Murong Family have any ties with you? Stop trying to cozy up here! Once we’re back in East Sea City, our Sky Gang can wipe out your Hua Family in minutes!"
"Ha ha, I agree with Miss Murong’s words, someone like him who only bullies the weak but fears the strong shouldn’t be shown any respect! Otherwise, he’d start thinking he’s the cat’s whiskers."
A loud laugh came from the side; it was Du Mingcheng.
"Ah come on, why do you guys from the Hua Family beat around the bush like a bunch of women? If you’re a man, be quick about it, otherwise people might think your whole family is made up of transvestites!"
Ye Xuan frowned, impatiently urging, "Accept your loss and pay up, hurry and kneel to Little Wanwan, don’t waste my time. We’re in a rush to head back to East Sea, and if we’re late, you’re paying for the car fare, you hear?"
Hua Zijun’s face turned iron blue. In front of so many people, he indeed had no excuses, but to make him kneel was impossible!
With a faint flicker in his eyes, he turned to Hua Kang and ordered coldly, "Hua Kang, you started this mess, get down and apologize to Miss Murong right now."
Hua Kang, who had been silent at the side, suddenly felt very unhappy upon hearing this!
It was you who lost the bet, not me, why use me as a scapegoat? I’m your cousin, is this how you treat your family?
Of course, he didn’t dare to voice these thoughts; instead, he reluctantly asked, "Young Master, why should I kneel?"
"Humph, why do you think?"
Hua Zijun commanded with a stern face, "Isn’t it all because of the trouble you caused with Miss Murong? If not for you stirring up trouble with her, I would have just become friends with Miss Murong. Since you started this mess, you should be the one to take responsibility!"
Hearing this, Hua Kang felt utterly frustrated. I’d give this blame-shifting of yours a full score, lest you become too proud!
It was clearly you showing off in front of her and now that it backfired, you use me as a scapegoat, damn it, Hua Zijun, you really have the guts!
Although he cursed inwardly, no matter how reluctant he was, he simply had no way to resist the other party, nor did he have the ability to resist. In the end, he still couldn’t avoid the fate of being the scapegoat.
Hua Zijun narrowed his eyes slightly and threatened, "Are you still unwilling? Let me tell you, hurry up and do as I say, otherwise, you won’t get a dime in the future! Just wait to starve in the cold!"
"Fine, fine, I’ll do it, okay?"
Hua Kang had a helpless expression on his face and could only choose to compromise.
There was no choice, for Hua Zijun controlled his financial lifeline. If he didn’t compromise, he wouldn’t be able to get any money from the latter. Without money, he couldn’t live a life of luxury and pleasure, which would be worse than death!
To continue living a profligate life, he had no choice but to shed his pride and take the fall.
Hua Kang took a few steps forward and immediately knelt down before Murong Wanwan, biting his teeth secretly and lowering his head, he said, "Miss Murong, it was my shortsightedness that offended you! I apologize for my previous actions, please have mercy and forgive me this once."
Murong Wanwan immediately furrowed her brows and said coldly, "You scoundrel, what is this supposed to mean? Seeking a scapegoat, do you think I’m that easy to appease?"
Hua Zijun’s eyes twinkled, and he smiled slightly, "Miss Murong, as you can see, all this trouble was caused by Hua Kang alone. We actually have no grievances! So, I made him apologize to you on his knees, are you satisfied now?"
"I’m satisfied my ass! You rotten turtle, rotten bastard, thinking you can make me stop with this? Dream on!"
Murong Wanwan cursed loudly, hands on her hips, glaring with her eyes and scoffing coldly, "I’ll put it clearly today, it’s useless for anyone to kneel, you must kneel down yourself and apologize to me, or else this isn’t over!"
Hua Zijun’s expression darkened slightly, a hint of anger in his voice, "Miss Murong, it’s wise to leave some leeway in life, so we can meet on good terms another day! The Hua Family is not so easily bullied. If you push me too hard, it won’t be good for anyone."
"Oh, switching tactics to threaten me now?"
Murong Wanwan sneered, her face full of provocation and mockery, "Sadly, I don’t give in to threats, so what if I push you? I’m telling you to kneel down quickly and sing ’Goodbye’ to me!"
Ye Xuan’s lips twitched, he barely held back his laughter. Who would have thought this girl had such tricks up her sleeve, kneeling down to sing ’Goodbye’?
After singing, this Young Master Hua would truly be chilled to the bone!
Hua Zijun’s face flushed with anger, enraged by Murong Wanwan’s words, he really wanted to rush up and strangle this little demon and fight it out with her.
But then, seeing Ye Xuan standing next to Murong Wanwan like a pillar, he quickly calmed himself down, suppressing the impulse. His face still hurt from before, he definitely did not want to be beaten up again!
"Young Master Hua, I often describe myself as a barbarian in the guise of civility. With civilized people, I only talk about civility! But with those who are less civilized, I can only talk with my fists, a fact you should be well aware of."
Ye Xuan smiled lightly, calmly walked forward, patted Hua Zijun on the shoulder, a trace of dark light flashing in his eyes, "So, don’t try to wear out my patience any further. I’m already starving for a good fight, I can’t wait to start throwing punches. When that happens, I’ll turn you into a pig’s head first!"
"Do you know what a pig’s head is? It’s when I break your nasal bone, stretch your ears, swell your eyes, and turn your lips into sausage lips. How does that sound? You surely wouldn’t want to end up a pig’s head, right?"
Just as Hua Zijun had opened his mouth to curse, suddenly, he felt dizzy and then his legs went weak, and with a ’thump’, he knelt down on the ground!
