“Um…” Lu Zhuo struggled to say the words. “Did you ask him to sue Huanhuan?”
Him?
Xu Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback, but she quickly realized that he was referring to Qi Shenbai.
Was Qi Shenbai really going to sue Lu Huan?
Ever since she came back from that town, she had been sick and staying at home. She had almost forgotten about that matter. She did not expect that the way he dealt with it was to sue Lu Huan in court.
Qi Shenbai had done all this for her. She had no reason to push the blame on him, so she nodded.
When she did not deny it, Lu Zhuo’s expression instantly turned nasty. “Huanhuan is still so young. If you really sue her in court, have you thought of the consequences for her? How can she find a job in the future? How can she date anyone? The students in school will look down on her. Do you have to be so vicious?!”
“…” Xu Jiaojiao admitted that she had a soft side most of the time and did not like to get into conflicts with others. However, she was not so soft that she would take his accusations lying down.
He did not seek her out today to apologize and seek forgiveness for his sister, but to accuse her of being too cruel!
Xu Jiaojiao admitted that she had been really blind in the past. She did not realize that he was so shameless.
“Lu Zhuo, in the past, I just thought that you didn’t like me that much. Now, it seems like you can’t even tell right from wrong.”
Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes darkened and her tone was cold and distant. “You’re accusing me of being vicious and not giving Lu Huan any leeway? What about her? When she framed me, did she think of giving me any mercy? If her plan had really succeeded at that time, my reputation and the teacher’s reputation have been damaged, and I wouldn’t even have had the chance to further my studies. My life would have been completely ruined!”
Lu Zhuo was left speechless. After hesitating for a while, he defended himself. “But you’re fine now, right? Besides, even if you really were expelled, I wouldn’t abandon you. Even if that man dumps you, you still have me. I can contact the school for you, or you can go overseas to further your studies. I’ll help you.”
“It’s not thanks to your sister that I survived that crisis. 1 was just lucky!” The more Xu Jiaojiao listened to his explanation, the angrier she became. Her face was tense, and her voice was cold without the slightest bit of warmth. “Also, what makes you think that he’ll dump me if something happens to me? Do you think everyone in the world is a two-timing jerk like you? Do you think that you’re oh so amazing for swooping in and ‘saving’ me after your sister set me up? Should I fall at your feet in tears and thank you for your help?”
“…” There was nothing Lu Zhuo could say to that.
After all, that was exactly what he thought!
Xu Jiaojiao was so angry that she laughed instead. “I’m not surprised that Lu Huan would do such a thing. Your entire family is so selfish to the extreme. You’re always thinking about yourself and you feel like the whole world should lay itself down for you.”
Of course, his grandmother was the only exception.
Lu Zhuo’s face was ashen. He could not be bothered to argue anymore, and he moved on to emotional blackmail instead. “Can’t you let Huanhuan off this time on account of all those years we spent together? She’s still a child after all!”
“Those years are a stain on my life.” Xu Jiaojiao looked at him pitifully as if he were a penniless beggar. “Lu Zhuo, you’re nothing like a real man. You still refuse to admit your mistakes until now, and you don’t even dare to apologize. You’re such a coward.”
Her words stabbed Lu Zhuo like knives. After a while, he said reluctantly, “You’ve changed. You used to be sensible and obedient. You were never so aggressive… Forget it. As long as I apologize, will you let Huanhuan off? Alright, I’m sorry…”
Xu Jiaojiao suddenly understood what it meant to be ashamed of an ex. She was filled with regret and anger. When she remembered how she had once regarded such a man as her god, she felt ridiculous.
“Like you said, I’ve changed.” She had mixed feelings, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she said very calmly, “I liked you in the past, so I could give in to you whenever you wanted. But that isn’t who I am now.”
She even felt disgusted when she saw him!
He had completely destroyed those beautiful memories, turning her previous efforts and sincere feelings into a joke!
Although Lu Zhuo had already guessed it, it was still difficult for him to accept it until she said it herself.
His heart tightened as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand. A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his chest. Instead of being angry, he was more disappointed and sad..
