Chapter 745: Getting Drunk at the Banquet of the Season
"What are you apologizing for?" Lu Shaoyang was flabbergasted, and he asked without thinking. Shen Hanxing didn’t bother to answer him, so she slapped him again. "Don’t you know you must apologize when you’ve wronged someone? Who gave you the right to do so?"
"Shen Hanxing, don’t go too far!" Su Ling’s heart ached. She pounced over in tears. "Shaoyang, are you alright? This woman is unreasonable. She’s really a barbarian."
"Is this the first day you know that I’m barbaric? I can be more brutal if you don’t apologize, " Shen Hanxing said disdainfully. "Don’t waste my time. I have things to do."
Lu Shaoyang was furious, but what could he do? He couldn’t win if he fought her. Even when the Lu family was still thriving, they hadn’t dared to go against the Ji family. Now that the Lu family was in trouble, their status was even lower. He could only swallow his price and said in a low voice, "I’m sorry. I spoke without thinking and offended Ji Furen."
"If you were like this earlier, you wouldn’t have been beaten up, right?" Shen Hanxing scoffed coldly. Seeing that it was getting late, she picked up her handbag and said, ""Excuse me, I’ll take my leave now."
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling subconsciously stepped aside to make way for her. Halfway through, Shen Hanxing suddenly turned around and smiled as if she had remembered something. "By the way..."
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling tensed up and looked at Shen Hanxing with fear. Pleased by their reaction, Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh. "As I’m in a good mood today, I have a piece of advice for young Madam Lu. If I were you, I wouldn’t offer the money. Only when you keep the money in your own hands can you have the final say." As she spoke, a smile slowly bloomed on her face, like a demoness who could bewitch people. "Young Madam Lu, what do you think?" With that, she left with a barely audible laugh.
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling stood still, their expressions were complicated.
