Chapter 449: Wishing For a Face Slap

He Xiaoqin already knew that the situation was hopeless.

She was already mentally prepared to apologize and squeezed out two tears.

“Yanyun, I was wrong. I should have known. How could you have… can you forgive me?”

Such a pitiful plea would probably soften anyone’s heart.

Su Yanyun was also gentle and said kindly, “What if I don’t forgive you then?”

Ah?

Such a gentle tone while saying such contrasting words made even Zheng Xin sigh.

He Xiaoqin was in a daze with tears on her face, as if she didn’t hear what Su Yanyun said.

“Ha.” Su Yanyun smiled plasticly. “Xiaoqin, I was just joking. Look at how frightened you are. So what if I don’t forgive you? Do you think you will commit suicide? Don’t worry, I’m not such a petty person. I’m just—a little vengeful.”

He Xiaoqin’s face was pale.

The image she expected of Su Yanyun accepting her apology did not appear.

Instead, she was threatened and mocked by her.

She suddenly cried. “It’s all my fault!”

Then she ran out crying.

He Yueze didn’t expect his sister to do this. He didn’t even have time to say goodbye to everyone and chased after her.

“Yanyun, really. Xiaoqin didn’t do it on purpose and apologized to you sincerely, yet you still have such an attitude. If others know, they will inevitably say that our Rong family is not magnanimous.” Second Madam Rong lectured Su Yanyun in annoyance.

“Second Aunt, this has nothing to do with you, right?” Su Yanyun turned around and looked at Second Madam. “When someone frames you for adultery and drags a large group of people over to watch, I want to see you show your magnanimity.”

“You…” Second Madam Rong was enraged. She never expected Su Yanyun, a junior, would dare to insult her in front of everyone.

Madam Rong coughed twice, but there was a clear smile in her eyes.

“Okay, the misunderstanding has been cleared. We’re family, so it’s good to be peaceful.”

Second Madam Rong snorted resentfully. “You’re really good at pretending to be a good person.”

“Come on, who told you to be the evil one? You’re asking to be slapped. Who are you blaming?” Rong Xuelong sneered.

“Okay, cut it out.” Old Master Rong was the last to come out and control the situation. “I only celebrate my birthday once a year. This is a year less after every year. Can you all think of me more? If all of you are as sensible as Yanyun, I can die in peace.”

“Father, please be more auspicious!” Madam Rong really couldn’t help it.

“You think I would believe my words and curse myself?” The Old Master was fearless and had a bad temper. He turned and waved at Su Yanyun. “Come, come, Yanyun, come and chat with Grandpa for a while.”

Su Yanyun had just taken a step when Rong Linyi held her hand. His other hand covered the wound on his chest and his expression was a little ugly.

“Grandpa, Mother, there were too many things happening tonight. I’m a little unwell and want to go back to the hospital first…”

“Go back. No one will stop you. Just leave Yanyun behind.” The Old Master was very open-minded.

“Father.” Madam Rong could only help her son persuade the Old Master. “Linyi needs someone to take care of him if he’s uncomfortable. He doesn’t want anyone to take care of him, so only Yanyun can…”

“What?” The Old Master’s voice was high. “Yanyun is pregnant and she still has to take care of others? Isn’t that a little inhumane? Linyi is already an adult. He has hands and feet, and he has to learn to take care of himself!”

Rong Linyi… Grandpa, I’m still an injured patient!
