Chapter 176: Luo Zheng, Why Do You Hate Me?
Her words rendered Xi Qianqian speechless and she turned pale while feeling overwhelmed with guilt.
She had to admit that she could not suffer any hardship because she had been spoiled since she was a child.
Even if she had to choose again, she might not stop her brother from replacing her… She felt that it was only right for him to get slapped on her behalf since he had always doted on her.
Besides, it was his fault for leaving her in the lurch prior to this and refusing to help her. She took it as his compensation for what he owed her.
Xi Qianqian thought about it and regained her peace of mind after comforting herself.
Xi Mubai glanced at Luo Zheng intently and wiped away the blood on his lips as he felt a stinging pain on his face. It was a reminder of the fact that Luo Zheng had slapped him!
He suddenly deduced the truth.
Luo Zheng hates me!
But… why?
Did her love turn into hate because I did not reciprocate her love for me?
Apart from that, he couldn’t think of any reason why she would resent him that much… After all, he admitted that he almost never interacted with Luo Zheng before!
For the first time in his life, he was slapped in such a brutal manner and to make matters worse, Luo Zheng was the one who slapped him!
Xi Mubai laughed at himself, finding it to be unbelievable.
However, he could not help but feel heartbroken at the thought of the dream he had previously… He clutched his chest, unable to figure out why it was aching.
However, he did not want to admit that part of the reason for the pain came from Luo Zheng!
Hence, he clearly knew that he didn’t have to let Luo Zheng slap him.
With the status of the Xi Family, his sister wouldn’t be jailed for too long even if she had to be put behind bars. He knew that she would soon be alright… but he did not state it in the end and chose to stand in for her and suffer the four hard slaps.
At that moment, he thought,
It’s true that Sis tried to harm Luo Zheng.
Since it’s true, she ought to pay the price. Sis is afraid of pain… so I shall take the rap for her since I’m her brother!
But on the other hand, he was very clear, that if it were someone else and not Luo Zheng, he wouldn’t have offered to let her slap him and would instead solve it with another solution!
Since Luo Zheng was hurt and wanted to hit someone to let off some steam, he decided to grant her wishes. Simple as that.
Was he out of his mind? He reckoned that his mother was right. He was really out of his mind!
Otherwise, how could he have been willing to let Luo Zheng hit him and throw his pride away!?!
“Little vixen, we’ll remember this forever! You better pray that you’ll never land in our hands for the rest of your life… ”
Mrs. Xi had nowhere to vent her anger and had no choice but to leave that warning since Luo Zheng had already slapped him.
At last, she wanted to pull her son to the doctor’s office to have his wound cleaned.
Xi Mubai refuted, “Mother, back to the ward with Qianqian.”
“Mubai, what are you staying for? This Little vixen… ”
“Mother, mind your language, I’m staying to settle some issues!” He insisted firmly.
Knowing her son’s temperament and well aware that no one could stop him from doing what he wanted, Mrs. Xi had no choice but to glare at Luo Zheng and leave indignantly with Xi Qianqian.
At the same time, Xi Qianqian frowned with a vicious look in her eyes.
She shared the same thoughts as her mother.
Luo Zheng, you must pay the price of humiliating us today!
Watching them leave, Luo Zheng rubbed her palm and lamented, “Senior Mubai, your skin is so thick, it really hurt my palm!”
Xi Mubai’s handsome and fair face was swollen and it clearly looked like he had been slapped.
His mouth was still reeking of blood which stimulated his senses.
Hearing Luo Zheng’s complaint, he suppressed his anger and said, “Qianqian may never be able to dance again in the future.”
