“You want him to apologize to you and your family?” Zou Lan scoffed, her face full of sarcasm. “Why should we apologize? It’s not like you suffered any losses. You seem to be getting along with your pretty boy, since you’re holding hands and everything.”

“Well, Lu Zhuo is alive and well too. He’s not missing an arm or a leg. Why should my brother apologize?” Xu Jiaojiao asked calmly.

Zou Lan did not expect her to be so sharp-tongued. It seemed that her previous obedience was just a disguise!

“I didn’t abandon you.” Lu Zhuo, who had been silent all this while, spoke in a hoarse voice, “I’ve been trying to apologize to you many times now, but you never gave me a chance.” He never thought of actually leaving her. He just wanted to see how Mengyao was doing.

“Your explanation and apology sure don’t seem sincere. You never actually said ‘sorry’.” It was ironic. Why did Lu Zhuo think that she had to forgive him just because he apologized and gave her gifts? He had left his girlfriend at the altar to go running to his ex!

At the end of the day, he never once thought he had done wrong by Xu Jiaojiao. Instead, he thought that the Xu family was being overbearing and unreasonable. Some people were just like that. They acted as though the world owed them everything, and that they should be forgiven unconditionally no matter what mistakes they made.

Lu Zhuo was speechless. He did not know what to say to that.

Just then, Xu Zhiming, the head of the family, stood up and said, “Everyone, calm down. If you want to assign blame, both children are at fault. 1 think it’s better to let bygones be bygones.” His meaning was very clear. ‘Your son betrayed my daughter first, and my son hit him to avenge my daughter. With that, we’re even. Our Xu family doesn’t owe you anything anymore.’

“Easier said than done! Why should we let it go?!” Zou Lan stood up from the sofa and said firmly, “1 insist that Xu Zhengyang must apologize to my son today. Otherwise, we won’t hold back!”

“Who do you think you are? Raising your voice in our house!” Xu Zhengyang approached her and looked down at her condescendingly. “Whatever you wanna do, bring it on. You don’t deserve an apology from me!”

Lu Feng was enraged by his attitude. “Watch your tone! I have to teach you a lesson, or you’ll never learn! That’s it, no one can stop us now! We will formally press charges against you!”

The atmosphere became tense. Lu Zhuo frowned and fixed his eyes on Xu Jiaojiao. His throat tightened unconsciously. He never thought of taking this to court. He just wanted to use this commotion to get Xu Jiaojiao back. He was hoping she would give in to him.

Qi Shenbai, who had been silent all this while, swallowed a few times and prepared to speak.

When she heard Lu Feng’s threat, though, Xu Jiaojiao just laughed instead of getting angry. A hint of mockery flashed across her clear eyes as she said lightly, “Uncle Lu, are you sure you want to take this to court?”

Lu Feng placed his hands behind his back. His murky eyes had long since been contaminated by the darkness of the world. He could not even be bothered to look at the Xu family. “Are you scared now? You should’ve known better.”

Xu Jiaojiao chuckled, “No. 37 Beihai Road. Are you familiar with this address?”

Lu Feng’s pupils trembled violently when he heard this. He looked at Xu Jiaojiao in disbelief, his face ashen. Lu Zhuo and Zou Lan were confused. They looked at Lu Feng, puzzled. “No. 37? What about that place?”

Lu Feng stammered for a long time, but he could not say anything.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him innocently. “Don’t you know? Uncle Lu knows you worked really hard to raise your son and daughter, Aunt Lu, so he spends his time outside with…”

Lu Feng shouted harshly, “Stop spouting nonsense!!”

The atmosphere suddenly became quite strange. Xu Jiaojiao’s parents were in a good mood all of a sudden, excited to see the drama unfold. Xu Zhengyang also figured out what his sister meant, and he scoffed, “Like father, like son!”

Zou Lan stood rooted to the ground, stunned for a while. When she returned to her senses, she pounced on Lu Feng and screamed, “Lu Feng, you heartless bastard! I slaved away for you for so many years, and this is how you treat me?!” She tore at Lu Feng’s clothes, her nails scratching a long bloody line on his arm..
