Chapter 44: Stop Acting Crazy
....Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Xu Jiao jiao walked out of the hospital, she took out her phone to call Cang Xing. However, she was suddenly blocked by a familiar figure.
“Jiaojiao.” Lu Zhuo stood in front of her with a bouquet of roses. The bruise on his face was rather obvious, and it looked a little scary at first glance.
“Is there anything you need?” Less than a month had passed, but Xu Jiaojiao no longer felt her heart race when she saw him anymore. She only felt wary and annoyed. If possible, she would rather not see him again in her entire life!
“1 heard that Grandma was hospitalized, so I specially came to see her.” Lu Zhuo addressed Old Madam Xu as his grandma, which made Xu Jiaojiao uncomfortable.
“You don’t have to worry about it. My grandmother is fine. It’s her afternoon nap time now, so don’t disturb her.” He said he was here to see Grandma, but he did not even dress the wound on his face. He was clearly here to complain to Old Madam Xu about Xu Zhengyang!
Lu Zhuo could tell that her attitude toward him was very different from before, and he had mixed feelings about it. When he remembered their sweet memories together, he said to her patiently, “Jiaojiao, I won’t stoop to Xu Zhengyang’s level over what happened yesterday, and 1 won’t send your brother to jail either. Don’t you worry about that.”
“Do you mean it?” Xu Jiaojiao did not believe that he would be so kind as to let Xu Zhengyang off.
Lu Zhuo smiled and nodded. He reached out to touch Xu Jiaojiao’s long hair. “He’s your brother, so he’s my brother as well. Once the two of us get married, we’ll be a family.”
Xu Jiaojiao avoided his outstretched hand and thought, ‘As if I’d want to be in a family with trash like you! You shameless jerk!’
However, she did not swear out loud. Instead, she said solemnly, “1 hope this is the last time you come to see me, Lu Zhuo. 1’11 say it for the last time — I’m already married.”
“Jiaojiao, even if you are angry, it’s been so long since then. Surely you’ve calmed down by now, right? Why did you have to put on an act for me with someone else?” Lu Zhuo insisted that she was lying. His eyes fell on her bare fingers. “You say you’re married, but where’s your wedding ring? Where’s the marriage certificate? If you show me any sort of proof, I’ll give up on you!”
“…” Xu Jiaojiao looked at her empty hand and did not know how to refute him. Back then, she had only married Qi Shenbai to reassure her grandmother and to save her family’s face in front of the guests. The two of them never went to register their marriage. Strictly speaking, it was true that she and Qi Shenbai were not legally married.
“Jiaojiao, can you stop being so stubborn?” Lu Zhuo held her shoulders and said gently, “1 promise, okay? I promise 1 won’t go to her ever again. I won’t make you angry anymore…”
The instant he touched her, Xu Jiaojiao felt her skin crawl. She tried to push his hand away, but she was too weak. No matter how she struggled, his hand pressed against her shoulder did not budge at all. Her face turned red with rage. She glared at him and warned, “Can you stop acting crazy in public? Let go of me!”
“Jiaojiao, I know 1 was wrong…” Lu Zhuo was halfway through his sentence when he saw a black shadow rush over and grab his shoulder. Before he could figure out who it was, he was already being tossed to the ground.
Cang Xing dusted off the non-existent dust on his hands and said to Xu Jiao jiao with concern, “Are you injured, Madam?”
Xu Jiaojiao was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. She slowly shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Then let’s go. 1’11 send you to school.” Cang Xing did not even bother to look at Lu Zhuo, who was howling from the ground. It was as if Luo Zhuo was merely an eyesore.
Xu Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Zhuo without any guilt or sympathy. He deserved that beating. She walked right past Lu Zhuo and lifted her foot to step into the car.
“Xu Jiaojiao, stop right there!” Lu Zhuo struggled to get up from the ground. He blocked Xu Jiaojiao’s way and said viciously, “If you leave this place today, 1’11 send Xu Zhengyang to jail right away. Trust me, I can do that.”
Just as he wanted, Xu Jiao jiao stopped. When she turned around to look at him, her clear eyes were filled with a coldness he had never seen before. Lu Zhuo saw the change in her eyes and knew that he had messed up. He had said those nasty words in a fate of rage, but he could not take them back.
“Honestly, Lu Zhuo, I want to thankyou.”Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was very clear but cold.
Lu Zhuo froze. He did not understand why she would suddenly thank him..
