Chapter 340
"Hahaha, Sister Li Rong, the girl has grown up, it's time to find someone to marry. Look, you've become enemies by keeping going back and forth."
Several young girls were secretly fighting over a man. If her own family members came out and embarrassed themselves like this, she would lock the door and beat them to death at home.
"No, no, I didn't say she stole my man." Lan Hua's face flushed red as she explained incoherently.
"I didn't say I couldn't let her eat. I was just joking with her, saying she was a country bumpkin and broke, and that she didn't deserve to be in this position. She got in here and tried to turn herself into a phoenix. As for the rest, I, I, I didn't do anything. She was lying."
"Lanqi, Xingyue, tell me, I don't have any."
Lan Qi watched her uncle's face getting darker and darker, and was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.
Zhou Xingyue was listening to the people around her pointing and talking, and she wanted to find a way to hide in. But when she saw Zhou Liang approaching, she didn't dare to say a word.
Lan Chengyong's face grew darker and darker. "Shut up! It seems I've spoiled you too much. You've become so arrogant and domineering!"
"As a girl, is that something you can say? Is that how you treat guests? You've read so many books over the years, but it's all gone to waste, right?"
"You have no shame, but I still have some!"
Hu Lirong pulled Lan Chengyong with a grim expression, "Chengyong, Chengyong, don't say it so harshly. The little girl was just joking around, there's no need to get so angry. I've spoiled Hua'er. She's not a bad girl, she just likes to play around."
"Well, Hua'er, hurry up and apologize to that girl. Do you think everyone is like your elder sister and can do whatever you want with them?"
Su Qingci's eyes darkened. She spoke a bunch of half-truths and half-lies. She didn't expect anyone to believe what she said. She just wanted to divert attention from the fact that she had hit someone.
Unexpectedly, no one doubted what she said. Looking at the way these sisters usually behave, they have offended many people.
Hu Lirong was quite a capable person. She knew that she couldn't argue any further, so she simply defined the matter as a little girl's prank and even hinted that Su Qingci was petty.
Lan Hua felt even more wronged when she saw her mother asking her to admit her mistake, "I didn't!"
"I said I didn't say it, and I didn't say those things. She made them up. Why don't you believe me?"
"You'd rather trust a country bumpkin than me. Are you still my parents?"
"She hit me, so she should apologize to me, but she also wants me to apologize to her. How can this be justified?"
"She's a liar. She kicked me in the chest and said she pushed me accidentally. She's a liar. Don't let her fool you, Lanqi, Xingyue. Tell me what happened. Didn't you see it all?"
"Yes, yes, it was all me. I'm a liar, a liar, a country bumpkin. Everything I said was fabricated. I kicked this sister in the heart. It's all my fault. I'm sorry. I apologize to this sister. I hope you'll be magnanimous and stop being angry."
"Everyone is watching us. Don't let our relationship affect them. Just assume it's all my fault. I apologize and will take any beatings or scoldings. I just beg you to please stop being angry."
Before Lan Qi and Zhou Xingyue could speak, Su Qingci went up to them with a panicked look on her face and apologized.
That expression looked so innocent, it was obvious that he didn't want the situation to get too awkward, so he took all the blame on himself.
As expected, even Kong Yuzhen couldn't stand Su Qingci's behavior.
"Lan Hua, you're too ungrateful! I've already given you a way out, but you're still refusing to give in. There's a limit to bullying!"
A girl next to him also said with a look of arrogance, "That's right, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? You don't even realize what kind of place this is. You thought this was your Lan family's living room?"
"That's enough. You think anyone has time to watch you act."
Lan Hua held her breath, unable to move, and almost fainted.
“You…you all…”
"Shut up!!"
Hu Lirong's face turned cold as she looked at her little daughter, whom she had always loved.
"I said, apologize to this girl!"
Lan Hua wanted to say something, but when she met her mother's cold gaze, her mind shook and she calmed down instantly.
Lan Qi also pushed her from behind, "Hua'er, be obedient!"
Only then did Lan Hua, with tears in her eyes and her lips pursed, be pushed in front of Su Qingci by Lan Qi.
She looked at Su Qingci with fiery eyes, but still refused to speak.
Until Lan Chengyong urged again, "Lan Hua, apologize!"
Lan Hua then said to Su Qingci with an embarrassed look on her face, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."
Su Qingci looked at Kong Liu with a panicked look on her face. Seeing him nod at her, she waved her hands in panic, "It's okay, it's okay. This auntie is right. It was all a joke. It's just a little misunderstanding!"
Lan Hua couldn't bear it anymore, so she covered her face and ran away sobbing.
Hu Lirong said to the people around her with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry for being rude. I apologize to everyone here. I hope this doesn't affect your mood."
As he spoke, the other party walked up to Su Qingci with a smile on his face, "When did Mr. Kong Liu get such a beautiful cousin? She's really lovable."
"What's your name?"
Su Qingci smiled shyly and whispered, "My name is Jiang Yuyan."
Hu Lirong took Su Qingci's hand with a loving look on her face, "I'm sorry, Yuyan, the girl who was playing with you just now is my aunt's little daughter, Lan Hua."
"I spoiled you so much that Auntie is making amends for you. I hope you have fun today."
Su Qingci waved her hands in panic, "Auntie, this is serious, it's not just Sister Lan Hua's fault. I, I am also at fault!"
Hu Lirong's face was full of smiles, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Seeing that Su Qingci was timid and humble and did not seem to be pretending, she let her go and greeted Kong Liu.
Meng Bai had just watched a good show and was staring at Su Qingci with great interest.
Su Qingci pretended to be shy and lowered her head, listening to Kong Yuzhen beside her constantly praising Brother Meng Bai.
Hu Lirong and his wife exchanged a few polite words and then went to greet other guests.
"Brother Meng, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Let me introduce you, this is my younger sister!"
"Come, Yuyan, come and meet Mr. Meng."
Su Qingci's body tensed up, it came.
