An Apology

The disparity between Mrs. Rong Sr.'s previous and current attitudes was so astonishing it left people speechless. Lu Chengzhou nearly burst into laughter from the sheer absurdity. He couldn't understand how such people exist in this world. Mrs. Rong Sr.'s current demeanor led those unaware of the facts to think that they were the ones bullying her. The truth was Mrs. Rong Sr. was downright malicious.

"Spoken in anger?" Ye Nanshen asked.

"Y-y-yes, it was just an angry outburst from an elderly lady like me," Mrs. Rong Sr. stammered.

Ye Nanshen's lips twitched into a faint smile. His handsome face was adorned with a grin that didn't quite match his eyes, sending shivers down one's spine. "I can let it slip," he said. "But from this day on, if Little Qi suffers the slightest harm from the outside world, I'll hold you responsible. Before laying a finger on her, think about how many lives you have for me to take in return."
