Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xiao Nanchen touched his cheek and looked at his mother in disbelief.
Mrs. Xiao doted on him and his sister and always spared the rod.
But she actually slapped him in public today.
One could imagine how shocked he felt.
“Mom, why did you slap me? Did 1 do something wrong?”
Mrs. Xiao’s heart was trembling but when she thought about the benefits of her daughter getting close to Lu Zhi, she made up her mind and said, “You still have the nerve to ask? I’m too embarrassed to even say it!”
“If you don’t tell me why you slapped me, I’ll leave home now and never come back!” Xiao Nanchen said angrily.
He wasn’t a two-or-three-year-old child anymore. He had self-pride.
Moreover, there were so many people watching.
If his mother didn’t give him a proper reason, how could he face these people in the future?
“Ah Yu invited her friends over with good intentions. Why did you provoke her friend?” Mrs. Xiao snapped. “Nanchen, I’ve already told you not to act recklessly just because your family has money! Otherwise, your father and 1 will teach you a lesson!”
“You ignored my words and ruined Ah Yu’s relationship with her friend. I can only slap you to wake you up! I don’t want someone else to discipline my child for me later!”
Xiao Nanchen glared angrily at Xiao Yeyu. He was furious.
He might have let this go if his sister was really innocent.
She was the one who started the trouble, but he had to bear the consequences!
He would settle the score with her later!
“Why are you looking at your sister? Go apologize to the girl!” Mrs. Xiao pushed her son.
Xiao Nanchen’s lips twitched as he revealed a tight smile.
“Alright, 1’11 go.”
He strode towards Ye Xiaoxi and bowed.
“I’m sorry, Miss Ye. 1 played with your feelings. It will never happen again.”
Ye Xiaoxi felt like everyone was staring at her and was at a loss.
“No, it’s okay. You don’t have to do this…”
It was a joke and she didn’t take it to heart.
Now that the matter had blown up, she felt that she was in the wrong.
“Mom, are you happy now?”
Xiao Nanchen’s gaze swept past Jiang Yining, who was watching coldly from the sidelines. An evil fire rose in his heart.
Yeyu had asked his mother to come forward because of her.
Otherwise, given Ye Xiaoxi’s background, how could his mother bear to slap him?
This troublemaker… He would get her one day! He would make her pay for today’s humiliation!
Xiao Nanchen quickly looked away so no one could see his intentions.
However, Jiang Yining could feel his hostility towards her.
She let out a cold chuckle. She had never been afraid of anyone. If Xiao Nanchen wanted to play games, she would play with him until the end!
Mrs. Xiao walked up to Ye Xiaoxi and said, “Miss, I’m really sorry. 1 didn’t educate Nanchen well. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep him in line. Don’t let this ruin your friendship with Ah Yu.”
“I won’t, Auntie.”
A thin layer of sweat formed on Ye Xiaoxi’s forehead.
She felt that the Xiao family was too polite. It made her feel overwhelmed.
“Mr. Lu, Miss Jiang. I’ve already asked someone to prepare dinner. Please adjourn to the family dining room and we’ll have dinner together. I sincerely apologize to you,” Mrs. Xiao said with polite elegance.
Xiao Yeyu also walked up and said with a smile, “Yes, it’s time to eat. Yining, Mr. Lu, you must join us.”
Since the Xiao family had already done so much, it would not look good to refuse.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi looked at each other.
“Why don’t we go join them?”
Lu Zhi didn’t want to give face to the Xiao family, who had just made a ruckus and ruined his appetite, but Jiang Yining was willing to stay.
He would stay with her.
Finally, the three of them were led into the family dining room by Mrs. Xiao.
This place was more private, and the guests outside could not see what was going on.
The servants brought sumptuous dishes to the table.
Mrs. Xiao warmly invited them to eat. “I’m really sorry. It’s your first time here as guests and you’ve encountered such a bad experience.”
“It’s okay. Mrs. Xiao, you’ve already given the fairest punishment,” Jiang Yining said calmly.
Mrs. Xiao smiled awkwardly and asked, “Oh right, I heard from Yeyu that you two are a very loving couple. How did you meet? My husband works with the Lu family, so 1 keep tabs on happenings in the Lu family. Why didn’t 1 hear any news of you two dating or holding a wedding?”
Mrs. Xiao didn’t know Jiang Yining. She heard about her mostly from Xiao Yeyu.
She had the feeling that Lu Zhi didn’t really love Jiang Yining.
After all, if a man really loved a woman, he would hold a grand wedding for her and tell the whole world that she was his.
But Lu Zhi didn’t do that. He didn’t even announce to the public that Jiang Yining was his wife.
This was too suspicious.
“Mom, don’t pry,” Xiao Yeyu said coquettishly.
“I’m not prying! We’re just chatting casually,” Mrs. Xiao said.
Jiang Yining was about to open her mouth when Lu Zhi held her hand and said calmly, “I’ve known her since we were very young. My grandfather and her grandfather arranged a betrothal for us. However, Yining later went abroad with her parents and only came back not long ago to marry me. As time was short and Yining had just returned to the country, there were many things to deal with. Therefore, we didn’t have time to hold a wedding.”
“I see.”
A childhood betrothal…
Who still fulfilled such promises in this day and age?
Mrs. Xiao was surprised.
Ye Xiaoxi and Xiao Yeyu did not expect this either.
When Lu Zhi saw the three’s astonished gazes, he chuckled lightly, looked at Jiang Yining affectionately and said, “Although it was a childhood betrothal, I fell in love with her at first sight. I’ve already decided that my feelings for her will never change in this lifetime.”
His deep voice was like a cello, clear and pleasant to the ear.
But his burning gaze was possessive and made people’s heart pound.
Xiao Yeyu was so jealous that her heart twisted into a ball. She secretly wondered why she wasn’t the one sitting beside Lu Zhi.
Mrs. Xiao also frowned.
Jiang Yining was the only one who was stunned by his sudden confession.
She tried to pull her hand out of his, but Lu Zhi was as steady as a rock, and she couldn’t break free.
Jiang Yining tried a few times and finally gave up.
She tried her best to laugh as she said, “Let’s eat. Everyone, please. Let’s not talk about these mushing things anymore.”
“Yes, let’s eat.” Mrs. Xiao supported the change in subject and gave her daughter a look, telling her not to reveal anything.
Xiao Yeyu lowered her gaze and stopped looking around the table.
Lu Zhi continued to hold Jiang Yining’s left hand and used his chopsticks to pick up dishes for Jiang Yining. “Eat more.”
Jiang Yining finally calmed down, but she was a little shocked when she saw him suddenly trying to please her.
The food that she had just put into her mouth choked her.
She coughed twice.
Lu Zhi considerately gave her a glass of water. “Here. Drink some water.”
Jiang Yining stared at the water like it was poison. How dare she drink it?
Lu Zhi brought the glass to her mouth and said domineeringly, “Open up.”
Jiang Yining opened her mouth subconsciously.
Lu Zhi then whispered in her ear, “Ye Xiaoxi brought you fruits, and 1 picked up dishes for you and also fed you water. Compared to her, 1 did one more thing for you. Tell me, is she nicer to you or am 1?”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
This petty man was still obsessing over the question earlier?
The veins on Jiang Yining’s forehead throbbed..
