Chapter 60: They Must Give Us an Explanation

“It was indeed Ah He who pulled Miss Zi Lian inside.”
When Ouyang Ming said that, his expression was extremely comedic.
Xiang Wei did not believe him. She s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone and her expression turned ugly as the minutes pa.s.sed. In the end, she glared at Zi Lian with a malicious gaze as she sternly questioned, “What did you say to He Fei outside the restroom?”
Zi Lian did not answer her. Instead, she continued crying. Her sad appearance made her seem as if she was wronged.
“You…”
Xiang Wei nearly fainted from anger. Others were in the dark, but she clearly knew that she had only tasked the staff member to spike Zi Yi’s drink. It was impossible for two gla.s.ses to be drugged. Unless that woman had done it to herself.
Xiang Wei wished that she could pull out the staff member for confrontation, but she could not do so. The moment a confrontation were to happen, her scheme against Zi Yi would be exposed.
Zi Yi appreciated the changes on Xiang Wei’s face. “I’ve already phoned my father earlier.”
“Zi Yi, you…”
Xiang Wei had not expected Zi Yi to make the call. She was anxious and angry at the same time. What should she do if this matter were to escalate to the He family?
Was He Fei honestly going to marry that shameless woman?
Xiang Wei’s expression turned uglier the more she thought about it.
No matter how ugly her expression was, Zi Xu and Li Peirong arrived twenty minutes later.
Zi Xu looked at Zi Lian wrapped in a towel, who seemed to have been bullied. He felt angry yet anxious.
He suddenly hated his niece. Clearly, he had strived for Zi Yi’s marriage with great difficulty, but she had spoiled his good plans with a sudden situation.
He was even angrier at Zi Yi for being such a disappointment. If she had grasped the opportunity to get along with He Fei, could she have given Zi Lian a chance?
Even if his current thoughts were in a mess, he still had to put on the airs of an elder as he said in anger, “My niece has ended up in such a situation and even if the He family has a high standing, they must give us an explanation!”
After he said that, he checked the surroundings. When he did not see He Fei, his anger flared up. “Where’s He Fei? Shouldn’t he come out and say something in such a situation?”
“He was knocked out,” Zi Yi responded.
Zi Xu glanced at her and there was anger contained in the depths of his eyes. He felt pity for the missed opportunity and at the same time, angry at Zi Yi for her incompetence.
On the surface, he acted as if he had to get justice for Zi Lian. “I’ll give He Fei’s father a call. Lianlian, don’t be afraid. Your uncle won’t let others bully you.”
Li Peirong lifted Zi Lian up with a worried expression and hugged her. “Are you feeling unwell anywhere? If I knew something like this would happen today, I would not have allowed you to tag along no matter what.”
Li Peirong looked regretful, but her heart was full of joy.
She knew that this niece of hers was not someone easy to deal with and as expected, she had not disappointed her.
It would be better if she could get pregnant with a baby.
With Zi Xu and Li Peirong as her backing, she was even more confident. She acted as if it was hopeless to continue living. “Uncle, Aunt, I don’t know how this happened too, and I have let Yiyi down. I’m no longer an innocent lady and if this were to spread out…. Huuu…”
Xiang Wei lost all rationality due to anger. She wanted to run over and scratch Zi Yi. However, Ouyang Ming held her back. “Little Wei, don’t add fuel to the fire.”
At that moment, a powerful-sounding voice could be heard. “Take Miss Zi back first. After He Fei wakes up, Mr. Zi can discuss a solution with him.”
Zi Xu subconsciously looked at Lu Jingye. At first, he was shocked by his temperament, but then he was surprised and happy. “You’re the Second Young Master of the Lu family?”
“Yes.”
Lu Jingye remained silent and did not have the intention to speak up again.
Lu Jingye was a legend in the business world. This was the first time Zi Xu had seen him in person and he wished that he could chat longer with him. However, the situation did not permit him to do so. He felt regretful deep down, but maintained his anger and motioned to Li Peirong. “Bring her out first.”
Li Peirong nodded, then supported the limping Zi Lian and went out.
