Chapter 894: Blow Her Face
Lu Ke’en originally had an upright personality and hated people who showed one thing and thought another in their hearts. He grunted and was obviously displeased.
Xia Yixuan’s face burned. Even though she was still very unwilling, she still tolerated it.
“Sorry.”
Lu Jinrong walked over and stood beside Lu Ke’en.
“Our Lu family isn’t short on apologies. Ms. Xia, don’t you think your ‘sorry’s are too expensive?”
“Then, what do you want to do?” Xia Yixuan held back the urge to clutch their fingers and almost felt the pain from clenching her teeth.
“Nothing much.” Lu Jinrong still had a good temper and smiled lightly, but there was no smiling intention in his eyes.
“Pay back the way you owed it.”
When he finished his sentence—not only Xia Yixuan’s face changed, but so did Xia Mingzheng’s. Pay back the way you owed it? Did they really want to slap Xia Yixuan’s face? Clearly, Lu Jinrong meant this.
“You…”
Xia Yixuan was furious. They were simply not showing mercy when justice was on their side.
“Yixuan.” Xia Mingzheng’s cold voice warned her. Xia Yixuan held back the urge to scold people, and her pair of eyes glared at Xia Ruoxin coldly. If she dared to touch her, she would never have an end with her.
Lu Ke’en shook his head. It took a genius to raise their daughter in this manner. With their kind of family background, they had too much money and started to lack in their morals. He really wanted to see who would be so unwise to marry the Xia household’s daughter.
Xia Ruoxin stood up and wanted to take back some interest.
“Do you need me to help?” Lu Jinrong said so, but he continued standing stably and did not have any intentions of helping. It was better if he stood up and not got in the way of her revenge.
It was immoral for a man to hit a woman.
“It’s okay, I can do it on my own.” Xia Ruoxin rolled up her sleeves.
“Lu Xiaohua, don’t you dare!”
Before Xia Yixuan’s shrill finished—piak! Her right face took a hit and was done by Xia Ruoxin.
“You dare to hit me?” Xia Yixuan held her face in disbelief. This was her first time getting slapped in her entire life.
“Mm, why won’t I?” Xia Ruoxin touched her wrist and gave her another slap. They said to hit someone but not slap their faces. Sorry, she just wanted to slap her face. What could they do about it?
This slap almost made Xia Yixuan crazy.
Xia Ruoxin flung her arms and did not really care much about the hatred on Xia Yixuan’s face. The grudges between them could not be settled in one or two rounds.
“Remember.” She extended her hand to pat Xia Yixuan’s pig-like face. “Not everyone is Xia Ruoxin and will let you hit her and scold her without fighting back.”
The words ‘Xia Ruoxin’ caused Xia Mingzheng, Shen Yijun, and Xia Yixuan’s faces to all change.
“I’ll go up first.” Shen Yijun stood up and held the railings to walk up the stairs. She turned around to take a look at Xia Ruoxin. Even though she was not her daughter, she was very grateful to her for saying something just.
Now, Xia Mingzheng could not care for Shen Yijun as in his heart, his daughter was more important. Even if Xia Yixuan was more than twenty-years-old—to him, she was just a small child. No father could accept his daughter being slapped to this state, but he knew very clearly that he could not block or stop it.
“Okay, we should leave.” Lu Jinrong stood up and extended his hand to help Jian Qingying up. Jian Qingying held Xia Ruoxin’s hand and said, “Next time, stay further away from this family. If not, you’ll be badly influenced by them.”
“I know.” Xia Ruoxin agreed. Jian Qingying’s contempt directly p.r.i.c.ked the Xia household’s face. It was clear that the Lu family did not like the Xia household’s character.
After they all left, Xia Yixuan lay on the couch and burst out in tears.
They were such a bully. Xia Yixuan held her face and threw quite a few pillows on the floor. This was her first time being slapped, and she was slapped so many times in front of so many people. How could she have the decency to see other people now? How could she live with her head held high?
“Aish…” Xia Mingzheng sighed and gently ruffled Xia Yixuan’s hair. No matter how naughty, disappointing, and how many mistakes his daughter made; this was still his daughter, his only daughter.
“Next time, remember that you can’t afford to offend these people. I’m not G.o.d; I can’t bail you out every time and avenge for you. Even though our family condition is not bad, they’re better than us and more respected than us.” This was the reality. They, as the big fish, could eat the small fish like Xia Ruoxin in the past. No matter what they did to her, she would only quietly accept it; but Lu Xiaohua and the Lu family were different. They could smash them to their deaths with one hand.
The Lu family did not need to care for their face or give them any face.
“Next time, you should just avoid that woman from the Lu family. Avoid her if you can and just stay far away from her.”
“Dad, why did I get slapped for no reason?”
Xia Yixuan hit the couch with all her might. Did she get these three slaps for nothing? Was her dignity being stepped on for nothing? Did she lose herself for nothing?
“What else do you want?” Xia Mingzheng asked Xia Yixuan instead. “Do you still want to hit them back and they would hit you back? Do you really think the daughter of the Lu family is Xia Ruoxin?”
Xia Yixuan kept her mouth shut as it was obvious that she could not hit back. She remembered this grudge, and she had to get Chu Lui to agree to marry her quickly. Did they not say that the Chu family and Lu family were of equal standing? If she was part of the Chu family in the future, she could properly teach that Lu Xiaohua a lesson.
She wiped her tears, took her bag, and went upstairs. When she was at the top of the stairs, she met Shen Yijun.
“Why?” Xia Yixuan raised her chin. “Are you laughing at me?”
“No.” Shen Yijun arranged her collar, and her gaze moved down from Xia Yixuan’s face.
“You’re not worthy enough to laugh at me. What right did a woman who did not even want her daughter have?” Xia Yixuan stabbed another knife at Shen Yijun’s heart. Shen Yijun’s body froze as she walked down the stairs slowly.
Xia Yixuan shook the LV handbag in her hands and went back into her room delightfully.
Shen Yijun stopped in her tracks and stood on the stairs as she heard the sound of Xia Yixuan slamming her door shut.
Bang…
The past was shattered.
Bang…
The memories came back.
Bang…
She wanted to stab herself to death.
