“Are you calling to hold me accountable?”
Yan Han remained silent for a few seconds and said, “No, I just wanted to apologize to you. It’s my failure in upbringing that allowed my daughter to become so malicious, using such ruthless methods to harm others. Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I would have beaten her half to death before apologizing to you.”
Jing Yining paused, feeling a mix of emotions, and said, “Yan Ruo really doesn’t look like your child.”
“Her personality is more like her mother’s.” Yan Han said, “I’m relieved that you’re alright. 1’11 get Ah Ruo to apologize to you personally later.”
“It doesn’t matter if she apologizes or not. I’ve already dealt with her in my own methods.”
What difference would an apology make?
Jiang Yining had always felt that apologies were the cheapest and most useless.
Yan Han sighed and said softly, “Okay, 1 understand.”
After saying that, he wanted to hang up the phone.
Jiang Yining hesitated for a moment and asked, “Aren’t you going to plead with me to spare her? Yan Han, dozens of media outlets are waiting to report this. As long as I speak up, Yan Ruo and Yuan Luochen’s affairs will be exposed online immediately.”
This also meant that Yan Ruo would be plagued by scandals for the rest of her life.
He was Yan Ruo’s father.
How could he be indifferent to his daughter’s scandal?
“I really want to plead with you in my heart, but my rationality tells me that 1 can’t do that. Otherwise, I’ll cause you a second injury. If you didn’t escape last night, you would be the one suffering today. You’re the victim from the beginning to the end. Yining, 1 can’t say anything to plead for Ah Ruo. Therefore, everything will be up to you. No matter what happens in the end, I will accept it and will never hold any resentment toward you.”
Yan Han spoke each word deliberately.
Jiang Yining’s lips twitched. “Fine, I understand. Alright, go take care of your daughter.”
“Okay.”
Yan Han hung up the phone.
Then he rushed to the hotel.
Jiang Yining threw her phone on the sofa and looked out the window at the birds standing on the branches in a daze.
After Lu Zhi was done with his work, he handed her a copy of the printed news article and said, “Take a look. Is there anything else that needs to be edited?”
Jiang Yining glanced at it and said, “Mosaic Yan Ruo’s face and use a pseudonym for her name.”
Lu Zhi was displeased, “Are you going to let her off?”
“Yes, let’s give her a break. I’m an old friend of Yan Han. Yan Ruo also paid the price last night. For the sake of her father, I’ll spare her one last time.”
Jiang Yining said calmly.
“Very generous of you.” Lu Zhi didn’t want to let Yan Ruo off so easily. That despicable person almost harmed Yining. He was already merciful enough not to cut her into pieces. How could he let her escape unscathed?
Jiang Yining could tell that he didn’t agree. She covered her arm and sighed.
Lu Zhi immediately asked nervously, “Does your wound hurt?”
“Yes, it hurts.” Jiang Yining said aggrievedly, “I’m already like this, and you’re still not going along with my wishes. What did you promise me before? Didn’t you say that you would treat me well? You can’t even satisfy this small request of mine…”
Jiang Yining pouted and looked at him pitifully.
Lu Zhi immediately understood that this girl was pretending to be in pain to deceive him.
He raised his hand and pinched her nose. He said, “Accusing me for the mastermind? Jiang Yining, you’re getting more and more gutsy.”
Jiang Yining smiled and hugged him with her uninjured right hand.
“I’m really in pain. Considering I’m an injured person, can’t you indulge me just once?”
Lu Zhi remained silent.
Jiang Yining held his handsome face with one hand and blinked as she looked at him.
“Please…”
Lu Zhi persisted for a moment. In the end, he couldn’t help but press her down on the sofa and share a passionate kiss.
By the time she was panting, all her strength had been drained.
Only then did he let her go.
“This is the last time. If she doesn’t repent after this, I’ll definitely make sure she lives a life worse than death.”
Lu Zhi exuded a murderous aura and didn’t seem to be joking at all.
Jiang Yining looked at him as if he were looking at a big wolfhound that was guarding her loyally.
She rubbed her head against his neck contentedly and said, “Okay, I’ll pass the message to Yan Han.”
Lu Zhi asked, “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”
“Sure.”
The two of them walked into the dining room and the servants served the dishes.
Jiang Yining picked up her chopsticks and wanted to eat.
Lu Zhi snatched the chopsticks from her head and said, “i’ll feed you.”
“My right hand isn’t injured, I can eat it myself..”
