Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Intellectual Crushing 2
Beg her? Beg Ning Xixi?
Lu Qinghe was completely dumbfounded.
How could she swallow her pride?!
Her face turned beet red, thinking of the previous difficulties and insults she inflicted on Ning Xixi, now feeling so aggrieved! So embarrassed!
"I’ll count ’1, 2, 3’, and you all take action!" Ji Yebai lifted his chin, commanding the bodyguards and servants of the Ning Family.
"1——"
"2——"
Before he could say "3", Lu Qinghe couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Xixi! I was wrong!"
Her apology was urgent and quick, and Ning Xixi almost didn’t catch it.
Hesitating, she glanced at Ji Yebai; he squeezed her palm gently, whispering, "It’s okay, I’m here."
Ning Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze complex as she looked at Lu Qinghe.
Her smile strained, "Xixi, I was wrong. My mind wasn’t clear before, and I did some foolish things. I promise, I’ll never do it again! I will treat you as my own, with all my heart and devotion!"
Ning Xixi didn’t know whether to believe these words.
But seeing the always arrogant Lu Qinghe bowing to her felt really good.
Ning Xixi tugged at Ji Yebai’s sleeve, "Let’s forget about hitting people, as for the cooperation matter, I don’t understand. But, don’t let it affect the company’s development because of me."
At Ji Yebai’s age, to have built up a company, there must have been many people’s efforts behind it.
There was no need to lose a penalty fee and damage both the Ji and Lu families because of her personal affair.
Ning Xixi’s sense of responsibility was very comforting to the Ji family members.
Actually, she could have taken advantage of the Ji family’s affection for her, and stepped hard on Lu Qinghe; if she really did that, the Ji family would also indulge her.
But she didn’t.
Instead, she thoughtfully considered Ji Yebai.
Such a naive girl, but truly worth their love and protection.
Ji Yebai flicked her forehead, "Silly!"
Such a wicked stepmother didn’t deserve her sympathy!
If she couldn’t bring herself to do it, he didn’t mind giving a little push!
"Your apology lacks sincerity, Ms. Lu," Ji Yebai said lazily, "I think... let’s forget it. The cooperation is off..."
Lu Qinghe’s face was filled with horror as she exclaimed, "No——"
She gritted her teeth, and with a hardened heart, looked at Ning Xixi again, her attitude even more humble.
"Xixi, hit me to vent your anger! As long as you forgive me, I promise to do whatever you ask in the future, okay?"
Face, dignity, how could they compare to the glory and splendor of the Lu family?
If the Lu family fell, then she, Lu Qinghe, and all the members of the Lu family, would be finished.
Weighing the pros and cons, Lu Qinghe had no choice but to choose the path of apology!
Ning Xixi pursed her lips, still hesitating.
Seeing this, Lu Qinghe took a deep breath, raised her hand, and with a "smack", slapped her own face hard!
Everyone was shocked!
Lu Qinghe grimaced in pain, but to play the card of suffering, she slapped herself a few more times, to the horror of the onlookers!
"Xixi..." She pleaded miserably.
Ning Xixi lowered her eyelashes and tugged at Ji Yebai’s sleeve.
Ji Yebai looked at Lu Qinghe with disdain, "Enough, stop hitting yourself."
Lu Qinghe stopped, putting on a smile despite her swollen face.
She looked as comical as a pig’s head, completely ludicrous!
"I heard you asked Xixi to move back? Clearly, you can’t take good care of her, and I wouldn’t trust her with you!" The authoritative voice of Elder Ji, as resonant as a bell, echoed in the room, "Her, we the Ji family will take!"
