Nangong Yi found Luo Yutong's feigned innocence and pitifulness quite appealing. He actually hoped that Luo Yutong would pin all the blame on Su Xiaoxiao. It seemed he had truly underestimated her.
Luo Yutong panicked when she saw that Nangong Yi remained silent.
“Brother Nangong, everything I said is true. I really didn’t lie.”
“Nephew, this scar on my Yutong’s forehead will stay with her for life. Do you think we could show leniency regarding Li Shuangyue’s matter?”
"It's not my place to bother with a lowly clerk."
Nangong Yi gave a cold laugh. He glanced at Luo Yutong, who was crying incessantly on the hospital bed, and the sharp light in his cold eyes pressed directly on her.
"Luo Yutong, it hasn't been half a year yet, so naturally I won't kick you out of the conglomerate. However, I have to say something unpleasant in advance: if you dare to try anything funny with Xiaoxiao again, I will make the entire Luo Group pay for it."
"Brother Nangong, I never intended to harm Su Xiaoxiao. What happened today is all my own fault. Please believe me, okay?"
Luo Yutong became more and more agitated as she spoke, and seeing that Nangong Yi remained unmoved, her unease grew deeper and deeper.
She glanced at the glass of water on the counter beside her, gritted her teeth, and before her mother could react, she picked up the glass and smashed it against the counter without hesitation.
"Bang--"
Startled by the sudden noise, He Qingfeng immediately stood up. When she saw Luo Yutong suddenly holding the broken pieces of the cup to her neck, she was completely terrified.
"Yutong, what...what are you doing?"
"Yutong, put down what you're holding right now!"
When Luo Bozhong saw Luo Yutong smash the water glass, he rushed forward to stop her, but it was too late, and his face turned ugly in an instant.
Nangong Yi did not react at all. He simply maintained his usual cold expression and quietly looked at the family of three in front of him.
Luo Yutong's palm was already cut by the shards of glass in her hand, but she seemed oblivious to the pain. When she met Nangong Yi's cold eyes, she said earnestly, "Brother Nangong, if you don't believe me, I'm willing to trade my life for yours."
How do we make the exchange?
The cruelty in Nangong Yi's eyes was obvious; he even knew what Luo Yutong was going to do next.
really.
Seeing that Nangong Yi remained unmoved, Luo Yutong steeled herself and plunged the shard into her own neck.
"Yutong!"
Luo Bozhong and He Qingfeng were so frightened that they both cried out in surprise.
The former lunged at Luo Yutong, pinning her hand down to prevent her from doing anything reckless.
When her daughter's hand was restrained, the latter quickly pried it open, trying to take the shards of glass from her hand.
"Don't worry about me!"
"Yutong, please let go! I'm begging you!"
"Yutong, Dad will give you whatever you want, as long as you throw away what you're holding right now."
...
Looking at the family of three putting on an act in front of him, Nangong Yi's eyes clearly revealed his mockery and disdain.
After watching for a while, he walked to the bedside with a blank expression.
"let go!"
"Brother Nangong, I really didn't lie to you."
Upon hearing Nangong Yi's voice, Luo Yutong knew that her plan had succeeded.
As her mother forcefully pried open her palms, she slowly released her grip, her tear-filled eyes also filled with pain.
