Chapter 440 - 374 That’s What You Deserve
"What are you doing?" Madam Rong was the first to react, her face looking rather unpleasant; her voice uncontrollably raised a notch.
And kneeling just like that... What exactly are you trying to do?
Rong Wenming was speechless as well, his speech slightly more circumspect, "Miss, please stand up first... It’s no use kneeling like this..."
However, it was Rong Yan who was looking down at her with cold eyes.
Not saying a single word.
Li Juan felt terrible, yet she bit her teeth and did not stand up.
"... Rong Yan, I beg you... let me go..."
As soon as she said this, Rong Wenming and his wife were dumbfounded.
What did she mean by that? What did she mean by ’let me go’?
Or had she done something? Otherwise, why would she say this out of the blue? This was what Madam Rong was thinking at that moment.
"What did you do? Begging my daughter to let you go?"
Li Juan’s face stiffened.
Rong Yan had been watching her the whole time, so when she noticed her slightly stiffened expression, she had a certain guess.
After all, in the recent days, there had been just one incident severe enough to make this woman beg on her knees.
Rong Wenming wasn’t too foolish; once Li Juan spoke those words, he thought back to the recent events and came to the same conclusion as Rong Yan.
His face darkened significantly immediately.
He could forgive many things, and ignore many people.
But... once it involved his daughter, then... he could not tolerate it.
"You don’t want to talk, do you? Then leave now." Madam Rong’s tone was no longer polite.
She was sure this person had done something terribly wrong to her daughter, something very serious.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be kneeling.
With this thought, she started to look for where the family broom was...
Li Juan had already kneeled, naturally she wouldn’t just leave like that.
And she had no choice but to beg... otherwise, she would be taken away by the police station.
She could only beg the Rong Family for forgiveness, especially Rong Yan... as long as she forgave her,
Then her matter would not be seen as a big deal.
She gritted her teeth, "I shouldn’t have... disclosed your family matters and let those three people come to your house..."
Rong Yan and Rong Wenming had already guessed it was this, so her words were not surprising to them at all.
As expected.
Madam Rong, however, was furious.
She was trembling all over with anger.
"I wondered why they knew their way around so well, it turns out it was you... Get out, get out right now, crawl back into your mother’s womb and maybe then it will be possible, otherwise, don’t even dream about it."
Hearing this, Rong Yan’s lips twitched slightly.
Her own mother... was really formidable! She had to admire that mouth.
After hearing his spouse’s words, Rong Wenming also felt like face-palming.
"Leave! Because no matter what you say, we won’t forgive you, and besides, it’s not up to us to decide, the police station has the final say, so begging us is useless."
"No, as long as you forgive me, the police station... won’t hold me responsible, it was just a momentary lapse, please... let’s overlook this matter, it was all because I was young and ignorant..."
She really had no other option.
This was the idea given to her by the Ming Family.
That morning, when the Ming Family told her that her actions had been discovered... and the consequences were rather severe.
She might go to jail.
If that was the case, then she wouldn’t be able to continue her studies at the Medical School.
This truly frightened her.
She didn’t want this.
The Ming Family said that unless she could obtain the forgiveness of the Rong Family.
If they didn’t pursue the matter... then it might just blow over.
Otherwise... her whole future was truly ruined.
She hadn’t expected that one momentary lapse could lead to such severe consequences.
At that time, she was just upset, wanting to teach Rong Yan a lesson, just to scare her a bit.
She really had no ill intentions.
The Rong Family didn’t want to listen to her babbling.
Since she had done something wrong, she definitely deserved the appropriate punishment, or else how would there be any order in this world?
Also, did she think that just kneeling and admitting her mistake would be enough?
Then what’s the point of having laws?
Madam Rong was not the least bit sympathetic, her face tight, "Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave now, do you believe I will drag you to the police station myself?"
Li Juan’s expression instantly became incredulous and then she flew into a rage.
She was so angry that she stood up directly.
"How can you be so petty? I have already admitted my fault, not only apologizing to you but also kneeling before you, and you have not a bit of sympathy, wanting to push me to my death?"
"I am only nineteen years old... it is just one mistake, and you are so cruel, wanting to ruin me?"
"Can’t you be a bit more generous? No matter what, we are still neighbors! How can you hold onto this without letting go?"
"And besides, aren’t you all fine now? There’s no loss suffered, can’t you just let me go?"
While speaking, she felt more and more aggrieved, so tears uncontrollably started flowing down.
Finally, she broke into loud wails.
There was no choice, she was genuinely scared.
If the Rong Family didn’t forgive her...then she would be dragged away for reform.
If it happened, how could she ever marry in the future? Who would marry her?
Thinking of this, she became even more sorrowful.
Rong Family: ...
She has done wrong, yet she had the gall to justify herself?
If others don’t forgive her, is it their fault?
Rong Yan was utterly speechless by her logic.
Not wanting to waste another word with her, she walked over...
Seeing her approaching, Li Juan immediately forgot her tears, watching her warily, "What, what are you doing?"
Then, thinking of something, she stiffened her neck and said, "If hitting me a couple of times will make you feel better, then hit me...as long as you don’t keep harping on this, and then go talk to the police station..."
She might as well bear with some humiliation.
Rong Yan ignored her, simply grabbed the back of her collar, and expressionlessly dragged her outside.
Li Juan had been ready to be hit, but instead of hitting her, Rong Yan was dragging her outside.
That wouldn’t do.
She had already kneeled and apologized.
Naturally, she couldn’t just leave like that.
She absolutely had to make the Rong Family relent.
"Rong Yan, let go of me... I’m begging you... It was my fault, I won’t ever do such things again, just let me go... after all, you didn’t suffer any harm or loss."
"If you insist on not letting this go, then what I lose will be a normal life for the rest of my days... I haven’t even married yet... do you really have the heart to ruin me like this?"
Rong Yan considered her plea to be insignificant.
But Madam Rong was almost laughter-stricken by her words.
"We ruin you my ass... You have harmed others enough, whatever result you face, you deserve it..."
