Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Cried
Lu Zhanxing was a bit agitated, feeling guilty and self-blaming, “Sister, it was my mistake.”
“I’ve forgiven you.”
Qiao Yun soothingly patted his shoulder, her voice small and seemingly a bit shy.
“Brother, don’t cry.”
“I’m not crying, you saw wrong,” Lu Zhanxing’s eyes were just a little red.
Qiao Yun nodded, “Mhm, I know.”
“…No, you don’t know, you don’t believe at all.”
“No, I do,” Qiao Yun said with a serious look, her small face tense.
You see, I didn’t lie.
Lu Zhanxing took a deep breath, “Alright, I am indeed a bit upset.”
He thought he would treat his sister really well, really well, really well… for the rest of his life.
“If you’re upset, just cry,” Qiao Yun said, afraid that Lu Zhanxing would feel embarrassed, speaking understandingly, “I can pretend I didn’t see it.”
“Being upset doesn’t mean you have to cry.”
“But isn’t crying what you do when you’re upset?”
“…”
Li Hanzhou couldn’t stand it any longer and timely interrupted the siblings’ conversation, “You should give your brother some space.”
Qiao Yun had a sudden realization, “I got it.”
Lu Zhanxing, startled by the sudden voice, had been so focused on speaking with his sister that he hadn’t noticed anyone else.
He turned to look and was taken aback upon seeing the newcomer.
It had to be said, this was a very handsome man.
Tall and slender.
His white shirt, tailored to fit, paired with black trousers, made him look even leaner.
He looked at Lu Zhanxing, his smile casual.
Lu Zhanxing recognized the man was Li Hanzhou, who got along well with his sister and was her friend.
But he always felt that the way Li Hanzhou looked at his sister was off.
A bit like a wolf eyeing delicious rabbit meat.
Lu Zhanxing was startled by his own thoughts, staring at Li Hanzhou uncertainly.
Li Hanzhou’s mouth held a smile, casually locking eyes with Lu Zhanxing, not at all worried about being found out.
It was at that moment, Qiao Yun spoke up, “I’m leaving; you can cry now.”
Lu Zhanxing: “…”
Believing herself to be understanding, Qiao Yun said to Li Hanzhou, “Time to eat.”
“Okay,” Li Hanzhou still carried that lazy, carefree appearance.
Watching them leave, Lu Zhanxing furrowed his brows tightly, a sense of alertness rising in his heart.

Xun Minzhi saw the comments online, so angry that she threw her phone violently away.
She completely broke down.
Sitting slumped on the floor, she couldn’t even hear her father’s angry shouting.
She didn’t dare to imagine how many people outside were laughing at her, how they were maligning her.
All the misfortunes that had befallen Lu Zhanxing were now being returned to her by the Evil Force.
She had always used her status to suppress others, but this was the first time she was being suppressed by someone else’s status.
While feeling humiliated, she was also filled with hatred.
But in order to save the Xun Family, she was powerless to do anything.
In just a few hours, she had become much more disheveled, no longer as spirited as before.

After that day, Lu Zhanxing started to get busy with terminating contracts, which turned out to be a lot smoother this time.
But as he got busy, he was unable to spend time with his sister.
Lu Zhanxing felt guilty…
However.
On the second to last day of the holiday morning, the doorbell rang.
Lu Zhanxing opened the door, and there stood his long-unseen mother, arms open wide with excitement.
“My dear son, surprise or not, look who’s here, your beloved mother.”
Lu Zhanxing: “…????”
He was stunned, glanced at Su Mian, then back at Lu Ting, whose complexion wasn’t very good.
Suppressing the resentment of the past days, Lu Ting managed a perfectly measured smile, “Second brother, I’ve missed you so much, did you miss me?”
