Chapter 428 Apology
"No matter what the reason is, she wants to hurt you, that's a fact!" Lu Yichen's eyes flashed with suppressed anger, "It's not good for you to continue to stay in the Zhong family with such a person."
Zhong Nianyao could tell that Li Yiqiu was doing it on purpose, and he could see it too. No matter what the reason, if Li Yiqiu hurt Zhong Nianyao's feelings, he would not allow Li Yiqiu to continue to appear near Zhong Nianyao.
"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Although I don't know what Li Yiqiu is trying to do, I still cherish my life. Li Yiqiu, I will definitely not let her go."
Lu Yichen nodded, "Then what are you going to do?"
"No big deal." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes. "Li Yiqiu really deserves to die, but before that, we still need to figure out what she wants to do."
She could tell that Li Yiqiu wanted to hurt her, and even hit her hard. But at the same time, she could sense that Li Yiqiu only wanted to hurt her, not kill her. This contradictory approach made her feel particularly strange. It was as if Li Yiqiu hurt her because he wanted to get something from her.
Lu Yichen naturally understood what Zhong Nianyao was thinking. He nodded and said nothing more.
Zhong Nianyao glanced outside, then sighed and spoke angrily, "No matter what the reason is, Li Yiqiu really deserves to die for causing trouble on a day like today."
"Today is Grandpa's birthday party. It was supposed to be a very happy day, but because of her, the atmosphere at the party will definitely not be very good from now on."
"Mr. Zhong must be in a very bad mood right now." Lu Yichen nodded in agreement, then continued meaningfully, "Then Li Yiqiu chose a day like today to take action, perhaps not to ruin the birthday party, but because today is the only time she has such an opportunity."
Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, and then stopped dwelling on this matter.
After this happened, neither Lu Yichen nor Zhong Nianyao were in the mood to go back to the hall and continue drinking and chatting with others.
However, today is Mr. Zhong’s birthday, and Li Yiqiu’s matter has not been concluded yet, so the two cannot leave.
So the two of them continued to sit in the side hall, chatting casually, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.
The atmosphere in the side hall is very good, but the atmosphere in the main hall is not so good.
The birthday party was originally a lively one, but now such an accident happened, and even the people injured were from the Lu family. Even if the host did not ask them to leave, some guests had already taken the initiative to say goodbye.
Especially after Zhong Mingyu came back and saw the not-so-good face, more guests said goodbye.
The birthday party, which should have been a lively one, had to end abruptly because of this accident.
After seeing off the last guest, Mr. Zhong asked everyone to gather together.
In the living room——
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong sat in the main seats, and everyone else had also taken their seats.
After a night of socializing and the unexpected incident, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong looked a little tired. They were already quite old, and a night of socializing was already very tiring.
However, such a big thing happened at the birthday party today. As the heads of the family, they must give Lu Yichen an explanation, so this matter must be resolved tonight and must not be delayed until the next day.
Li Yiqiu sat next to Zhong Mingyu, her head lowered, a hint of uneasiness in her expression. It was obvious that she had realized her mistake.
When the people from the first house looked at Li Yiqiu, there was no extra expression on their faces.
To this day, they still haven't figured out how today's accident happened. However, they didn't gloat over such an accident, but rather felt a little worried.
Because the one injured this time was none other than Lu Yichen, the third master of the Lu family. If this really angered the Lu family, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Zhong family. The Zhong family currently did not have the ability to fight against the Lu family.
Even though Zhong Nianyao was Lu Yichen's girlfriend and they had even started talking about marriage, they were still worried. They even began to worry that this incident would cause things to change between Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen!
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
They still understand such a simple truth.
Even in normal times, the first and second houses often fought for the inheritance of the Zhong family. However, when the family was in danger, they still stood on the same front.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit depressing, and no one spoke first.
Finally, Mr. Zhong took the first step. He slowly stood up, walked in front of Lu Yichen, and was about to bend down and bow.
Seeing this, Lu Yichen stood up quickly, supported Mr. Zhong, and stopped him. "Grandpa, what are you doing? I really can't stand it."
Of course he deserves Mr. Zhong's gift.
However, Mr. Zhong was Zhong Nianyao's grandfather, and someone she respected very much. He treated Mr. Zhong as an elder, so naturally, he couldn't accept such a generous gift from him.
"Grandpa!" Zhong Nian Yao also stood up immediately.
"This is all my fault." Old Master Zhong's face was filled with guilt. "Master Lu, you were injured in my Zhong family today. No matter what the reason, it's all because of my family's poor hospitality. I should apologize to you."
"Grandpa, what did you do wrong?" Zhong Nianyao frowned and said directly, "You did nothing wrong in what happened tonight, and there is no need to apologize to Lu Yichen. Even if someone really needs to apologize, it shouldn't be you."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Li Yiqiu.
It is clear who should apologize in these words.
Everyone's eyes were on Li Yiqiu.
Suddenly, Li Yiqiu became restless and looked extremely embarrassed.
"Zhong Nianyao, this was just an accident." Zhong Mengxuan couldn't help but speak up. "My mom didn't do it on purpose. She was just kind enough to give the cake knife to grandpa. She didn't expect such an accident to happen. You can't take your anger out on her like this."
