Chapter 228 - 217: Self-Harm to Apologize? (Three Updates)
Yi Luowa froze for a moment and lifted her gaze to look at the recently tearful Ai Ni.
Ai Ni sniffled and said nothing.
Tong Airui furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "Dad, don’t play games like this. Sure, I’m the eldest in the family, but you can’t just throw me under the bus to make a point to Luowa. If we promised someone something, then we have to deliver. If you think Ai Ni’s engagement at the end of the month is too soon, then let’s push it to next month. If that still doesn’t work, then the month after next."
Long Che cast a sinister glance at Tong Airui before turning his gaze to Tong Aino.
Before Long Che could speak, Tong Aino preemptively said, "Don’t even think about targeting me. Connie and I are still interns; we haven’t even officially been hired yet. Besides, even if we were, I’ve got an older brother and younger sisters. It’s definitely not my turn."
"Two unfilial sons!" Long Che cursed at his sons and then looked at Yi Luowa. "Girl, what do you think? What’s your view?"
"Dad, my view is the same as Tong Airui’s." Yi Luowa noticed how dark and intimidating Long Che’s expression had become and quickly put on a flattering smile. "Dad, who are you? You’re the Prime Minister of Summerwitch! Anyone who mentions you can’t help but give a thumbs-up. We can’t let something this trivial tarnish your reputation.
"You Jia’s father is way out of line, daring to insult you like that. Give me his number later. I’ll teach him a lesson on your behalf—I guarantee I won’t even need to use a single curse word, and he’ll be so furious he’ll be bedridden! Ideally, he’ll be so angry he won’t even attend the engagement ceremony. Dad, imagine how infuriated he’ll be when he realizes he can’t witness the event he cares about most!"
Long Che glanced at his three children one by one and finally pointed at Yi Luowa. "See that? Now *that’s* a true descendant of the Aldrich family! When their father is wronged, they take action! Look at you two—always stepping back, acting pathetic!"
"Didn’t I just say I’d flatten their house?" Tong Airui muttered under his breath.
Long Che slammed the tea table forcefully. "Do you think that’s realistic? Do you think two nations can go to war just because you say so? Luowa!"
"Yes!" Yi Luowa shot to her feet like a rocket.
