Chapter 128: Make Jiang Yining Apologize!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the old Lu residence, Elder Tao sat on a sofa in the middle of the living room. His face was so cold that one could almost see ice.

Standing behind him was Tao Niannian, with her red and swollen eyes.

She had no more tears.

Old Master Lu looked at the grandfather and granddaughter, feeling anxious as well as angry.

He called Ah Zhi three hours ago and asked him to come back and give the Tao family an explanation.

But he still hadn’t turned up after three hours.

Whether he did right or wrong, he should at least give them an explanation!

What was he trying to say by not showing up?

Old Master Lu gave one of the servants a look and the servant came forward and poured Elder Tao more tea.

“Come, have another cup of tea to simmer down. Ah Zhi will be back soon.” Old Master Lu said politely.

Elder Tao slammed his hand on the table.

His teacup shook.

“This is already the seventh cup of tea! Brother, if you look down on our Tao family, you can just say it. Why do you have to humiliate us like this?”

He did not come to the old Lu residence to seek retribution.

He just wanted to find out what happened and then ask them to restrain Jiang Yining.

They didn’t need to be so arrogant.

But Lu Zhi’s prolonged delay was an obvious sign of disrespect.

Elder Tao couldn’t accept the humiliation and was a little upset.

“Our families have been on good terms for generations. Why would we look down on your family? Ah Zhi has really been delayed by some matters, which was why he’s late.” Old Master Lu tried his best to placate Elder Tao.

Tao Niannian said sarcastically, “1 don’t think he’s delayed by any real matter. Jiang Yining probably wouldn’t let him come. 1 heard it with my own ears. She told me to keep my mouth shut and not provoke her. Otherwise, the Tao family will end up like the Pan family! Such arrogance!”

Old Master Lu frowned. “Niannian, is there a misunderstanding between you two?”

“What kind of misunderstanding can we have? 1 don’t have a grudge against her. I just said a few words to defend Pan Qi and she threatened me!” Tao Niannian gritted her teeth and continued, “I think she’s so outrageous because she has Brother All Zhi to back her up!”

“If it’s really like that, 1 will see that you get justice. Let’s wait patiently.”

Old Master Lu still did not say anything definitive.

After all, he had only heard Tao Niannian’s side of the story.

Whether things really happened like that was still to be verified.

“Grandpa, let’s go.”

Tao Niannian didn’t want to wait anymore.

Elder Tao also stood up.

Seeing that the grandfather and granddaughter were about to leave, Old Master Lu hurriedly stood up to persuade them to stay.

However, before he could open his mouth, Lu Zhi’s clear voice came from outside the door.

“Grandpa Tao, I’m really sorry. I was delayed by something.”

The three of them looked up and saw a calm Lu Zhi walk in unhurriedly.

Elder Tao’s tone was unfriendly when he said, “Am I even worthy of your apology? Your wife keeps saying that she will destroy the Tao family! She’s so capable; we wouldn’t dare to cross you!”

“I know Yining very well. She would never say something like that for no reason.”

Lu Zhi trusted Jiang Yining without hesitation.

Elder Tao let out an angry snort.

Whatever the reason or situation, she should never say that she would topple the Tao family!

This Lu Zhi had really fallen under the spell of this woman!

Lu Zhi looked at Tao Niannian and asked, “Niannian, did you go and find trouble with Yining?”

“I didn’t!” Tao Niannian said loudly. “I just couldn’t stand that she bullied Pan

Qi like that, so I said a few words to defend Pan Qi!”

“Pan Qi deserved what he got. You spoke up for him, so of course Yining would be angry.” Lu Zhi retorted calmly.

“Even if Pan Qi did wrong, all he had to do is to change! Why did she have to destroy the Pan family for a classmate?” Tao Niannian continued angrily, “Besides, that classmate of hers is unclean to begin with. So what if Pan Qi said something about her? She deserved it!”

When Lu Zhi heard this, his voice turned cold.

“No matter how ordinary a person is, they are still human and deserve respect. Pan Qi did do something wrong, so he deserved to be punished.”

Tao Niannian understood now that he was on Jiang Yining’s side. She shouted, “Pan Qi is my friend and I’m determined to protect him! Are you also going to destroy the Tao family for a stranger?”

Lu Zhi’s jaw tightened, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.

He did not say a word, but it was obvious that he was angered by Tao Niannian’s unreasonable behavior.

Old Master Lu saw that things were going awry and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Look at the two of you. Arguing until your faces are red because of an outsider. Is it worth it?”

“I don’t care! I’m defending Pan Qi no matter what! Also, Jiang Yining must apologize to me! And take back what she said!”

With her grandfather around, Tao Niannian was not afraid of offending anyone.

Her every request was more outrageous than the last!

“Don’t even think about getting either of those two things.”

Lu Zhi did not give her any face at all.

“You…” Tao Niannian was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She stared at Lu Zhi angrily for a few seconds before she turned to Elder Tao and said, “Grandpa, you see? He’s taking Jiang Yining’s side! He has no intention of making peace with our family at all! Let’s go!”

Tao Niannian pulled her grandfather to leave.

But Elder Tao stood where he was and said with angry eyes, “Lu Zhi, are you really going to offend the Tao family for a student you don’t even know?”

Lu Zhi looked straight at him and said calmly, “Grandpa Tao, I don’t think what 1 did offended the Tao family. Pan Qi slandered Yining’s good friend and then her just because he is a member of the Pan family. If I, as her husband, sit back and do nothing and let him humiliate Yining Ning, am 1 still worthy as a man?” Elder Tao looked at his own granddaughter.

She didn’t mention that Pan Qi also went after Jiang Yining.

Tao Niannian bit her lower lip and said, “Pan Qi didn’t mean to smear Jiang Yining, but she insisted on standing up for her friend! Pan Qi didn’t know that Jiang Yining is your wife! If he did, he wouldn’t have slandered her as well! At the end of the day, it’s still her fault!”

“I don’t care if he knows or not. As long as he bullies Yining, 1’11 make sure he is punished!” Lu Zhi retorted arrogantly.

“Grandpa, listen to what he’s saying!” Tao Niannian immediately complained to her grandfather. “He has lost all rationality for the sake of Jiang Yining!”

Elder Tao felt that Lu Zhi had indeed gone overboard.

No matter how much he liked a woman, he should behave appropriately.

If he continued down this path, he would make enemies everywhere.

And something would happen sooner or later.

“All Zhi, you’re too impudent!” Old Master Lu reprimanded Lu Zhi. “Apologize to your Grandpa Tao.”

Lu Zhi pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Elder Tao’s face turned cold. “Ah Zhi, Pan Qi has offended someone from the Lu family. He indeed deserves to be punished. Now that the Pan family has gone bankrupt, you should stop. Let this matter end here.”

“Grandpa…” Tao Niannian was dissatisfied and stomped her feet angrily.

Elder Tao ignored her and continued, “But your wife did hit our Niannian and said those words. She should personally apologize to our family. Call her over now.”

“All Zhi, didn’t you hear what your Grandpa Tao said? Hurry up and call Yining over.”

Old Master Lu heaved a sigh of relief but Lu Zhi was indifferent..
