Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Luo Zheng entered the room together with Old Mr. Luo, everyone welcomed them.
Luo Zheng’s cousins and eldest aunt were all staring at her with disdain and anger… for they clearly knew that she was the one who ruined the banquet.
Luo Tingxue was not only the daughter of her youngest uncle, she was also the princess of the Luo Family whom everyone loved.
Luo Zheng’s behavior had undoubtedly angered everyone!
Luo Zheng and her cousins were not on good terms with each other either, nor did they have any close connections… However, she had no choice but to swallow her pride on the account of her grandfather as well as the fact that she had indeed made a mistake.
After adjusting her att.i.tude, Luo Zheng smiled politely and said, “Auntie, Uncle, Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin, Youngest Cousin, Cousin.”
“Luo Zheng, I didn’t expect it to be you!” Luo Tingxue exclaimed.
She had the same reaction as Xi Mubai.
She naturally disliked Luo Zheng.
It was not only because of the fact that Luo Zheng had a strained relationship with the Luo Family, but also because everyone in Capital University knew about the fact that Luo Zheng had been courting Xi Mubai.
She thought to herself, Luo Zheng is so young and yet, she is already so obsessed with boys and she is even so shameless… Most importantly, she does not have any self-awareness at all. She thinks she is worthy enough to be with Xi Mubai. How embarra.s.sing!
Although she was close to Xi Mubai, she had never put in a good word for Luo Zheng even though they were cousins.
Luo Tingxue was clearly haughty and arrogant. She had almost never compromised… and apart from her family, she rarely liked anyone. She would only like those who fit her standards!
Luo Zheng was not one of them!
“Little Cousin, haven’t you always hated the Luo Family and insisted on keeping a distance away from us? Why did you suddenly come here and stir trouble during Tingxue’s birthday banquet!?!”
The person who questioned her was her cousin, the son of her second uncle and the elder brother of Luo Tingxue.
Glowering at his grandchildren, Old Mr. Luo hollered with a frown, “It’s rare for Zheng to come visit us, why are you people questioning her!?!”
Everyone fell silent, including Luo Shuyuan.
After all, Luo Zheng was still a junior and as her elders, they ought not to be so calculative with her… Besides, they also had to show respect to Old Mr. Luo who was defending her!
Luo Zheng’s heart grew warm and she stared at her grandfather who was old in his years. She explained, “Grandpa, Cousin is right. It was my fault! I owe Cousin Tingxue an apology… ”
She then walked towards Luo Tingxue and bent forward. “Cousin, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have caused such a scene at your banquet!”
The drastic change in Luo Zheng’s att.i.tude gave everyone a great shock.
However, she also aroused their suspicion!
Remaining composed, Luo Tingxue asked coldly, “Do you know Teacher Bo?”
She was referring to Bo Hancheng.
Luo Zheng rolled her eyes and gave her the explanation that she had come up with just now. “Yes, I do, he’s my life savior! I was met with some danger previously and he was the one who helped me get out of the knotty situation. I’ve been wanting to repay him for his kindness! Hence, I got a little too agitated and excited when I recognized him tonight and hence did what I shouldn’t have… ”
Everyone was apprehensive about her explanation, except Luo Tingxue who felt much more at ease after knowing that they were not related.
I knew it, how could a brilliant man like Bo Hancheng be interested in Luo Zheng!!
“I’ll forgive you! But Teacher Bo probably only helped you on a whim, you don’t have to go out of your way to thank him.”
Luo Tingxue obviously did not want Luo Zheng and Bo Hancheng to become closer.
Luo Zheng smiled and remained silent as she thought to herself, my ties with Mr. Bodyguard is my own business, and no one should poke their nose in it!
