He Cheng spoke from the bottom of his heart, his eyes were red, and after he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily and did not get up.
His genuine demeanor seemed genuine, and the murmurs of the surrounding crowd gradually subsided, with some expressing their admiration.
"They say a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. How could he possibly be so genuinely repentant? He truly deserves to be called a man of integrity!"
"That's right. He was once a scholar who passed the imperial examination. He's willing to swallow his pride and apologize like this. The Su family should forgive him, right?"
The crowd's eyes turned to Su An and Li Guihua with excitement.
"It's like an old sow wearing a bra, one outfit after another, it never ends!" Su An said coldly, speechless, already immune to the scumbag's act.
Just as he was about to yell at and kick her out, Li Guihua gently pulled him back.
“Xiao An… I see that he is also sincere.”
Li Guihua frowned and said that she was kind-hearted and easily influenced. No matter how angry she was, when she saw He Cheng's miserable state and heard his words, her anger was gradually extinguished.
Besides, as a mother, she couldn't help but think more about her daughter, so she comforted her, saying, "No matter what, He Cheng is a scholar who passed the imperial examination. Even if he did something wrong in the past, it doesn't mean he deserves to die. If he really changes, we can observe him for a while longer. It's not impossible to accept him."
Hearing these words, Su An was so shocked that she almost laughed in anger, and pointed at He Cheng.
"Mother, have you forgotten how he nearly ruined our family and even swindled us out of our shop? How much we suffered for him! And now he's made you forgive him with just a few sweet words?"
Li Guihua's eyelids twitched, and she fell silent.
Su An raised her voice in exasperation, "If he really felt sorry for me, he should have kept his head down and never shown up again, instead of putting on such a grand show of self-inflicted suffering in front of everyone!"
"What good has he ever done besides talking? He's just trying to gain your trust and change your minds so he can keep asking you for money. He's just a gold digger!"
"Who wants to accept this kind of vampire? I'd be disgusted even if he had to carry my shoes!"
Su An's words were incisive and to the point, instantly making Li Guihua and everyone else tremble, as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Yes, looking at it this way, it really does seem like a self-inflicted injury ruse!
Aside from his heartfelt words, I haven't seen him show any real sincerity in apologizing.
He Cheng hated Su An's sharp tongue to the core, but he quickly said with a bitter expression, "Xiao An, you really misunderstood me. I have already reformed. This time, I just want everyone to witness that my feelings for you are as clear as day!"
Su An rolled her eyes in disgust, and just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd—
"You hypocritical scoundrel, you dare to pester the little boss, huh!"
Zhou Li arrived in a wheelchair and witnessed this scene. Enraged, he stepped forward and kicked He Cheng's foul mouth, cursing, "What kind of person are you to dare covet the person my master has his eye on!"
"Ah!" Caught off guard, He Cheng twisted his body and cried out in pain.
Looking closely, he immediately recognized Zhou Li and the man in the wheelchair behind him.
It was them!
Su An hadn't expected the master and servant to arrive so quickly, and hurriedly checked the sky.
Oh dear, that scumbag has wasted so much of her time! Every minute and second is precious time to make money!
Her anger flared even more.
He Cheng clearly remembered the threat from last time, and instinctively shrank his neck, but then he thought that they wouldn't dare to do anything to him in front of everyone.
Suddenly, he no longer felt ashamed, scrambled to his feet, and stared at Fu Zhun with a sarcastic look.
"Your master is this pretty boy with crippled legs?"
Fu Zhun had just witnessed everything and was already in a bad mood. Upon hearing this, his gaze turned even colder. "Pretty boy, are you introducing yourself?"
The onlookers couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, no matter how you looked at it, He Cheng looked more like that pretty boy!
He Cheng's face darkened with anger, and he glared at Fu Zhun with a gloomy look. "I know you have designs on Xiao An, but how dare you, a cripple, compare yourself to me? I am at least a scholar, while you are just a useless piece of trash who can't even stand up!"
"I advise you to be sensible and stop bothering Xiao An. You'll only make yourself a laughingstock!"
Those repeated "Xiao An"s were incredibly grating, causing a vein to throb on Fu Zhun's forehead and a murderous intent, unnoticed even by himself, to surface in his eyes.
But if we make a move here, it will probably bring more gossip to Miss Su, right?
Fu Zhun had his concerns, but Zhou Li didn't think so much. He was so angry that he immediately wanted to beat this hypocrite up again.
"Make way!"
Suddenly, Su An shouted, grabbed two kitchen knives, and angrily charged at Zhou Li while cursing.
"You foul-mouthed bastard, you've really got some nerve! Today I'll chop off your manhood and turn you into a cripple who can't even crawl out of the house!"
"Xiao An, you!"
He Cheng's pupils contracted, and he wanted to continue pretending to be deeply emotional while singing, but Su An's twin swords were already in front of him in the blink of an eye, showing no sign of stopping.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his crotch, not daring to gamble with his manhood. He kept backing away, cursing the crazy woman in his heart!
"Calm down, Xiao An, don't act impulsively!"
Su An pressed closer, shouting, "Still yelling, huh? I'll tear your mouth off right now!"
As he spoke, he slashed at his lower body with a knife.
He Cheng turned pale with fright and stumbled out, yelling, "Xiao An, wait for me, I'll come back to apologize to you again—"
Upon seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but sigh and were about to discuss it when Su An immediately glared angrily at everyone around him.
In an instant, the crowd, which had been clamoring, fell silent and quietly restored order to the queue.
Waaah, an angry boss is so scary!
I can't afford to mess with them.
Even Zhou Li was dumbfounded, and his anger subsided.
Then she pushed Fu Zhun up, clicking her tongue in amazement, "Little boss, I never knew you had the potential to be a tigress!"
He even wanted to beat that guy up, but the shop owner scared him away!
Su An snorted and ignored him, instead turning to look at Fu Zhun. Seeing that he was unaffected, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Young Master Fu, that scumbag is just spouting nonsense. Don't take his words to heart."
Fu Zhun met her concerned gaze and smiled softly.
"Of course, they're just petty scoundrels, nothing to mention."
Although he had almost attacked her just now, for some reason, seeing her like that made all the anger in his heart seem to disappear.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li curled his lip and gave the two of them a mocking look.
"Oh my, they call themselves petty scoundrels? Just now, I wonder who was so angry they wanted to kill someone."
"If you ask me, it's all because the young boss protected her husband so well, otherwise that scoundrel would probably be doomed by now!"
