“Just you wait! I won’t stop even if your mother begs me in tears!” Mrs. Lu was furious.

Xu Zhengyang was unmoved. “Don’t worry, whoever begs you is a dog. Is your lawyer any good? If not, I’ll introduce you to one…”

Lu Zhuo pulled his mother, who was trembling in anger, behind him and looked at Xu Zhengyang viciously. “Do you have to do this? Do you have to ruin the relationship between our two families?”

The smile on Xu Zhengyang’s face gradually disappeared. “When you abandoned my sister to go to another woman on the day of the wedding, our families had already broken up.”

Lu Zhuo said, “I’ve explained everything to Jiaojiao. It’s a misunderstanding. Back then, I…”

Before Lu Zhuo could finish, Xu Zhengyang interrupted him. He said through gritted teeth, “I don’t care about your reasons! No decent human being would abandon the bride on the day of the wedding! You can look down on our family and ignore our reputation, but you can’t just trample over Jiaojiao’s feelings! Have you f*cking thought about how my sister had to face a wedding without the groom? Can you imagine how many people would’ve pointed fingers at her?! How many people would’ve laughed at her!”

Lu Zhuo was taken aback and did not know how to retort. He looked at Xu Jiaojiao with guilt in his eyes. Xu Jiaojiao tugged Xu Zhengyang’s arm and said, “Brother, forget it. It’s all in the past now.” She did not want her brother to be angry about the past.

Mrs. Lu did not think that Lu Zhuo was in the wrong. She grabbed Lu Zhuo’s arm and said, “Let’s go to the hospital. There’s no need to talk to them.” In the end, Lu Zhuo was forcibly dragged away. He kept turning his head and staring at Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head and did not even look at him. Instead, she looked at Xu Zhengyang worriedly. “Brother, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Although Xu Zhengyang had beaten Lu Zhuo up one-sidedly, Lu Zhuo had also retaliated.

Xu Zhengyang smiled. “No, I’ve been through hundreds of battles. I’m invincible.”

“…Then when Mom and Dad scold you later, don’t ask me for help.”

Xu Zhengyang choked and rubbed Xu Jiaojiao’s head furiously. “You’re disloyal! I’m helping you get your revenge, yet you’re abandoning me!”

“I didn’t ask you to hit anyone.” Xu Jiaojiao pouted, feeling both heartache and helplessness. “How old are you? You still get into fights at the drop of a hat. You have to change that habit.”

“I disagree,” Xu Zhengyang answered without hesitation. “Someone bullied my sister, so I have to beat him up!”

“…” Although Xu Jiaojiao felt exasperated, she was also very touched.

Su Luo gave him a thumbs up. “Xu Zhengyang, you did well! A scumbag like Lu Zhuo deserves a beating!”

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at her from the corner of her eye. “Now you’re praising him. Who was the one who was worried that my brother would go to jail just now?”

Su Luo was stunned, and her expression was slightly unnatural. “Iwasn’t worried about him! I’m worried about you, okay…?”

Xu Jiaojiao’s lips twitched. She did not believe Su Luo at all.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhengyang did not take their conversation to heart. He only glanced at his right hand. Because he had beaten Lu Zhuo up too hard, his right hand had also been bruised. “It’s over. My poor, precious hand…”

He was the person in charge of the Qi Group’s technical department and usually relied on his hand to make a living. Now that his hand was injured, his heart naturally ached.

“I’ll go buy some medicine for you. Your wound isn’t that serious. You’ll be fine after applying medicine for two days.” Xu Jiaojiao was about to go out to buy medicine when a group of people walked in from the entrance of the police station. At the front was Qi Shenbai, who was wearing a custom-made suit. Behind him was Pei Yan and a few unfamiliar faces that Xu Jiaojiao did not recognize.

When Qi Shenbai saw Xu Jiaojiao, he walked straight toward her, abandoning the people behind him.

“Are you alright?” Qi Shenbai stood in front of Xu Jiaojiao, his dark eyes observing her up and down nervously.

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head in confusion. “Why are you here?”

Qi Shenbai did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang, who was not far away. “My friend informed me that the young friend I had picked up last time was taken away by the police because of a fight.”

“…” Only then did she remember that the bar was owned by Qi Shenbai’s friend. Did he think that she had gotten into a fight and was sent to the police station? She raised her hand and pointed at Xu Zhengyang. “I didn’t get into a fight. It’s my brother…”

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang also sauntered over lazily. “Qi Shenbai, why did you bring so many people here? You even brought the Qi Corporation’s legal team.”

The man in a blue suit and rimless glasses standing behind Qi Shenbai nodded slightly as a greeting.
