Liu Ge sighed and corrected him, "I'm not angry with you and your mother."
"Really?" Xu Jiao looked at him, puzzled. "But your expression is so ugly, you clearly look very angry, you..."
"Yes." Liu Ge said with certainty: "I am angry, but I am not angry at your mother for forcing me to marry you. This matter is fake anyway, and I don't care."
His words were light and casual, but they made Xu Jiao feel like they were being stabbed in the heart. Her face turned very bad. She stared at Liu Ge with wide eyes and asked him angrily, "Liu Ge, what do you mean by that? You clearly promised my mother just now, so how can you say you were forced to do it?"
Liu Ge didn't want to talk about this matter with Xu Jiao at all.
Because for Liu Ge, this matter doesn't count.
He said, "Anyway, I'm doing this for your mother's sake, I don't really want to marry you."
His words were very direct, and such direct words made Xu Jiao's face look very ugly. Xu Jiao's face was pale. She looked at Liu Ge, as if she didn't know him.
She stared at him with wide eyes and asked him, "Liu Ge, in your heart, am I really so bad that I'm not worthy of you?"
Liu Ge really didn't want to discuss this with Xu Jiao. He said, "Xu Jiao, I think I've already made our relationship clear before."
Liu Ge was very sure that he hoped Xu Jiao would be well, but he was also unable to take another step forward with Xu Jiao. They used to be very close, but now, they could no longer find that feeling.
They would never be lovers again, but when he saw her in trouble, he was still willing to lend a hand.
"Xu Jiao, I don't want to talk about these things with you. I just want to ask you, why did you slander Ruonan?" Liu Ge stared at Xu Jiao, his face becoming even uglier.
Listening to his words, Xu Jiao felt that there might be something wrong with her ears. Otherwise, why could she hear Liu Ge questioning her so loudly?
These questioning words made Xu Jiao feel as if her heart was stabbed by something. She felt very uncomfortable. She looked at Liu Ge with a feeling of unfamiliarity.
She glared at Liu Ge and asked loudly, "Liu Ge, how could you ask such a question? I didn't slander Liu Ruonan. It's just that Liu Ruonan is just that kind of person."
"What's wrong? You're trying to defend that woman by questioning me like this. How could you do this?"
"Really?" Liu Ge looked at Xu Jiao and asked her, "Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Jiao was stunned by his question. Then, she raised her voice and shouted at Liu Ge, "Even if I don't have any evidence, it doesn't matter. That woman is so shameless. So what? She dared to do it, but she can't let people say it?"
Liu Ge was very angry at Xu Jiao's behavior.
He said, "Xu Jiao, can you please be more rational? You are an adult. Do you know that you have to be responsible for your actions?"
Xu Jiao stared at Liu Ge for a long moment, then she snorted coldly and said to him, "I finally understand, Liu Ge. You came here today just to speak for that woman, right? I'm telling you, I'm telling you, that Liu Ruonan is a vixen, shameless. She actually hooked up with my father. How dare such a shameless woman live?"
Xu Jiao's screaming was so loud that Liu Ge felt it was unreasonable. He stared at Xu Jiao with anger as if she were a stranger.
He was filled with sadness, and asked, "Xu Jiao, how did you become such a person?"
He even doubted why he fell in love with this woman.
Facing his question, Xu Jiao snorted coldly and said to him affirmatively: "I am just such a person. I tell you, Liu Ge, if you dare to say anything good about Liu Ruonan again, we will break up."
Xu Jiao stared at Liu Ge with her eyes wide open, her face full of determination and coldness, which made Liu Ge stunned for a moment.
A few seconds later, Liu Ge said, "Xu Jiao, you have to apologize to Ruonan for this matter."
She told him not to speak for Liu Ruonan anymore. What Xu Jiao hated most was Liu Ge speaking for Liu Ruonan, but Liu Ge just had to speak for that woman.
Xu Jiao was very disappointed with Liu Ge, but her disappointment was of no use at all, as Liu Ge's attitude was very firm.
He said firmly: "Xu Jiao, you must apologize to Ruonan, go now."
As he spoke, Liu Ge reached out and grabbed Xu Jiao's arm, as if he wanted to drag Xu Jiao in front of Ruonan and have her kowtow and confess her guilt in front of her.
Liu Ge's behavior made Xu Jiao, who was already filled with anger, even more angry. Xu Jiao stared at Liu Ge as if she was looking at a stranger.
She was in a terrible mood, her face was very bad, and she questioned Liu Ge angrily: "Why do you treat me like this? Liu Ge, you clearly know that Liu Ruonan and I don't get along very well, and you still asked me to do this? Why are you going against me?"
"Xu Jiao." Liu Ge knew that Xu Jiao was uncomfortable, but he was even more uncomfortable.
He said, "You must apologize to Ruonan. She's not that kind of woman. If she is, please provide evidence. Also, she's already hired a lawyer and is preparing to sue you. I know your family values reputation the most. If this really goes to court, you'll be the one who'll be embarrassed, understand?"
It was really unexpected that Liu Ruonan would dare to resort to such means. Staring at Liu Ge, Xu Jiao said viciously: "What? Do you think that I will be afraid of that woman just like this?"
Xu Jiao's dead pig-like look really disappointed Liu Ge. Liu Ge looked at her and seemed helpless.
He said, "Xu Jiao, I'm doing this for your own good. Please stop making such a fuss. If you continue like this, it will be difficult to end it."
Xu Jiao snorted coldly and said seriously, "Liu Ge, let me tell you, whatever Liu Ruonan has to offer, just let her do it. I'm not afraid of her. If I were afraid of her for even a moment, then I'm not Xu Jiao."
Xu Jiao's attitude was very firm, and facing such a firm girl, it was really too difficult for Liu Ge.
Liu Ge looked at Xu Jiao and wanted to say something else, but Xu Jiao didn't give him a chance.
Seeing Xu Jiao turning and leaving, Liu Ge seemed helpless.
How much he wished that the situation between Xu Jiao and Liu Ruonan would not be so tense, but he found that he could do nothing while being between them.
