Chapter 555: Chapter 554 Apologize Right Now

Lin Chun whispered to Lin Xia, "Xiaoxia! Did you know about this?"

Previously, Lin Chun and the others had been unaware of the matter.

If it hadn’t been aired out in front of them like this, they still wouldn’t have known what had happened.

Song Zhiya did overhear a bit that day, but since Lin Qiu didn’t bring it up again, she didn’t feel comfortable mentioning it again.

Lin Xia nodded her head, "Yes! I knew!"

Lin Dong’s face was cold, "Big sister! I really want to beat them up!"

Lin Chun echoed, "Me too!"

The two brothers clenched their fists, wishing they could severely beat up Miao Xue and Wu Zhengyang to vent Lin Qiu’s frustration and support her!

However, Lin Xia shushed them, "Just watch the drama unfold!"

Lin Xia felt there was no need for anyone from their family to intervene, as Wu Zhengyang alone was enough to handle Miao Xue.

Reluctantly, the brothers unclenched their fists.

Miao Xue, terrified by Wu Zhengyang’s ferocious demeanor, felt her spine chilling and her limbs weakening.

She realized that he was truly angry this time.

This was the first time she had seen him like this since they had met.

His fierce gaze seemed like it could devour her!

"Wu Zhengyang...I..." she tried to start speaking to explain that she had been antagonistic toward Lin Qiu repeatedly only because she loved him and cared about him.

But when the words reached her lips she found herself unable to say anything.

She indeed had done those things she couldn’t refute.

There were witnesses present. She couldn’t deny it.

The gazes from the neighbors watching the drama unfold made her feel as if she was stripped naked in front of them.

Speaking out in front of so many people would only invite more mockery and ridicule.

She hated herself for her declining intelligence, always acting rashly and foolishly.

She hated even more the person who had told Wu Zhengyang everything!

Wu Zhengyang didn’t want to hear a word of explanation from Miao Xue’s mouth. Whatever Lin Qiu said was undoubtedly the truth.

He just wanted to resolve the matter quickly and end this farce as soon as possible. Once they were home, he would settle things properly with her.

He commanded Miao Xue coldly, "Apologize to everyone right now!"

Miao Xue looked at Lin Qiu reluctantly but suppressed her resistance.

She understood that if she dared to refuse, the enraged Wu Zhengyang might do anything.

It was very likely he would break ties with her on the spot!

She would rather apologize than let Lin Qiu relish her embarrassment in front of everyone.

"I’m sorry!" Her voice was timid, obviously reluctant.

Lin Qiu glanced at Miao Xue dismissively and ignored her completely.

Miao Xue thought that with her grudging apology Lin Qiu could easily say it didn’t matter? In her dreams!

Lin Qiu didn’t even say a word?

Miao Xue clenched her fists in rage, her hands numb and red from the cold. Even if her sharp nails dug into her palms, she felt no pain.

Wu Zhengyang’s gaze shifted from Miao Xue to Lin Qiu, softening immediately.

He tried to keep his tone even as he apologized to her, "Lin Qiu! I’m sorry!"

He knew the apology was futile, but he still wanted to say sorry in front of everyone.

No matter what Miao Xue did, the motivation behind it was definitely because of him. He was the real troublemaker!

He had originally thought that compromising would resolve the issue.

It was not until today that he truly understood that sometimes compromise is just avoidance, which solves nothing;

instead, it may embolden certain people to become even more audacious, showing no fear!

Lin Qiu tensed her small face, a mocking smile spilling from the corners of her mouth. This time she spoke up.

"Wu Zhengyang! I don’t need your apology! Please control her from now on and stop being shamelessly disgusting!"

She knew that everyone now understood the situation. Justice was in the hearts of the people, and there was no need for her to say or do anything more.

Wu Zhengyang gave Lin Qiu and Kang Yijun beside her a deep look, "Don’t worry!" Then he turned his gaze away and dared not look at her again.

He turned around and apologized to Wang Lan, "Auntie! I’m sorry!"

He actually had not intended to eavesdrop; he was just feeling irritable and wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke.

But he had not expected to be standing right at Wang Lan’s doorway and heard Miao Xue speaking with Lin Qiu’s partner about Lin Qiu and his affair!

At that moment, he felt such a surge of anger that he could not care about anything else; he was desperate to know the whole story!

Seeing Wu Zhengyang with red eyes and a look of repressed pain, Wang Lan felt sympathetic.

She was not a hard-hearted person either, and considering it was not a big deal, and the neighbors across the street were there and had given a way to step down, how could she not go along with it?

"It’s fine! Actually, I’m also at fault. I shouldn’t have talked about those things behind your back!"

"Miao Xue! Apologize!" Wu Zhengyang’s voice was as cold as if it carried ice-pellets.

Miao Xue dared not disobey, she made a mental note against Wang Lan, but for now, she could only pretend to obediently apologize.

"I’m sorry! Auntie!"

Wang Lan had never liked Miao Xue; how could she not see the insincerity and perfunctory nature of Miao Xue’s words?

Impatiently, she waved her hand, "Alright! I can’t accept this ’sorry’ of yours! Just don’t think about plotting any revenge against me, that’s enough!"

"I won’t!" Miao Xue lowered her head to hide the darkness in her eyes, letting herself be embarrassed in front of so many people. She was determined to get even one day.

She was convinced that the whole issue was caused by Wang Lan’s indiscrete blabber, which led to their secret being exposed so quickly.

Wu Zhengyang said in a stern voice, "Alright! Hurry home!"

Miao Xue followed behind him, devising excuses and strategies in her mind.

Madam Wu was being pulled by the arm by Wu Zhenghong and kept quiet only by his constant low-voiced urgings.

Otherwise, given her temperament, could she have remained silent?

She was really going to be driven mad! Why did her family have to end up with such a troublesome person like Miao Xue!

This time, no matter how her children decided to handle her, she truly did not want to let things slide!

If this continued, their Wu family might not only dissolve, but more shameful incidents could happen!

In the past, their Wu family had lived a peaceful and uneventful life. When had they ever been the butt of jokes like this?

This woman was truly the bane of their Wu family!

Time and again, she had made their family lose face! And yet, she always failed to learn her lesson!

Her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Miao Xue’s back. If looks could kill, Miao Xue would have been dead under her gaze long ago.

The commotion at the main gate quickly ended as Wu Zhengyang took Miao Xue and others back to the Wu family!

Seeing there was no more drama to watch, the onlookers also dispersed in twos and threes.

Lin Xia and the others returned inside the house, warming their hands while discussing the recent events.

Lin Dong finally spoke up, unable to hold back his complaints, "Big sister, second sister! Why didn’t you tell me when I came back?"

Though he was still a student, he was also a young man. If he had known about this earlier, he would have looked for an opportunity to deal with Miao Xue.

And that Wu Zhengyang was no good either. If it weren’t for him, would his second sister have been bullied time and again?
