Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

All her previous affection, consideration, gentleness and kindness were fake. She was clearly an ungrateful poisonous snake, waiting to jump out from the shadows and bite her at any time!

But... she couldn't bring shame to her sister-in-law, nor could she bring shame to the Huo family.

"Qianqian."

Her clenched fist was gently held.

Ruan Xingchen's eyes held silent encouragement: "Are you willing to accept her apology? Just say it directly, don't be afraid."

The tip of her nose felt strangely sore, and Huo Qianqian's eyes reddened slightly. She subconsciously shook her head: "No, I don't want to."

Only she herself knows how scared, helpless, desperate and sad she feels when she is accused and doubted by everyone.

Why should she forgive the culprit? She was so petty and vindictive that she wished she would never see Cheng Yi again.

Aunt Huo and the other two's expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly, and even Cheng Min's smile disappeared.

"This..." Aunt Huo forced a laugh, her face full of disapproval of the ignorant youngster: "Qianqian, sisters don't have any deep hatred. Yiyi knows she was wrong, so don't hold a grudge anymore. You're just making a fool of yourself."

"What are you laughing at?" Ruan Xingchen curled the corners of his lips, and his watery eyes, filled with coldness, turned around.

Her eyes were clearly black and white. She was just a beautiful young girl, but the look she gave her was filled with astonishing oppression.

Under her gaze, the darkness in people's hearts seemed to be exposed, and everyone subconsciously avoided her.

"I'd like to know what kind of joke we have here. Is there any law that explicitly states that victims must forgive their perpetrators if they apologize?"

"Han Xing, how can you say that?" Aunt Huo couldn't laugh anymore. She couldn't help but speak with a hint of anger and contempt: "You just married into the Huo family, and before that, you had... that kind of background. You had no elders to teach you. You have to listen to your aunt. We are family, and even if our bones are broken, we are still connected. How can you be so fussy?"

"Besides, Yiyi is such a straightforward person. She may say things harshly, but she's not a bad person at heart. Don't bother with her."

This time he finally learned his lesson and stopped saying that Cheng Yi was still a child.

"What's my background?" Ruan Xingchen's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion, and she tilted her head. "Even though I grew up in the slums, I know you can't force others to forgive you. How come you, who come from wealthy families, force the victim to be a saint?"

"If that's the case, that would be great. I'll slap Auntie twice and apologize. I'm sure she'll forgive me with a smile, right?"

"Ruan Xingchen! Don't go too far!" Aunt Huo was furious and said angrily, "I'm your elder! How can you talk to an elder like that?"

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm not very good at talking, but I have a good heart. Please don't hold it against me." Ruan Xingchen replied without hesitation, "No wonder Miss Cheng likes to teach others the rules of the upper class. It turns out she learned it from Auntie."

"But unfortunately, I am stubborn and protective. I don't understand the rules of your upper-class society, and I don't want my children to suffer any injustice."

She stood with her back straight and her eyes blazing, like a flower in full bloom. Her clear voice resounded, "As a child of the Huo family, there's no reason for me to compromise myself to make others feel at ease."

Aunt Huo was so angry that she was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage. Her fingers trembled as she angrily said, "You, you..."

I was speechless for a long time.

"Cousin, what do you want from me?" Cheng Yi's heart hardened. Without wiping the tears from his face, he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "I really know I was wrong. Those two slaps from my cousin have already made me sober. If cousin Qianqian is unwilling to forgive me, do I have to kneel down?"

This family is really good at playing the victim.

Ruan Xingchen didn't buy it and said with a smile, "Okay, then kneel down."

Cheng Yi suddenly froze.

Huo Qianqian, who was protected behind him, was so happy that she leaned forward with great joy: "If you really want to kneel, just kneel down. Why are you shouting? Are you waiting for someone to stop you?"

No one expected them to react like this. Cheng Yi was in a dilemma and felt that the mocking eyes of the crowd were almost piercing her.

Cheng Min's presence was extremely low, but his cold gaze pierced through, full of warning.

Things have come to this point. If the Cheng family cannot satisfy this aunt and sister-in-law, they will only become a laughing stock in the upper class circle.

Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and hated the person in front of him even more. He made up his mind to bend his knees.

"Let me make it clear first..." Huo Qianqian sneered, "If you want to kneel, you have to do it willingly. I didn't say I'll forgive you if you kneel down."

She looked completely spoiled, and even asked, "Right, sister-in-law?"

"If apologies are useful, what's the point of having laws?" Ruan Xingchen nodded. "Whether you forgive or not is entirely up to you. No one can wrong you."

Suddenly, it was not a good idea whether to kneel or not. Cheng Yi kept his knees slightly bent, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

"Since my cousin won't forgive me, then forget it." A flash of blood appeared in Cheng Min's eyes, but he sighed with resigned tolerance: "After all, it was Yiyi who did something wrong. Apologizing is just our family's attitude. From now on, please let my sister-in-law and cousin see how Yiyi behaves."

"You're not kneeling anymore?" Disappointment flashed across Huo Qianqian's eyes.

She really wanted to see Cheng Yi, who was pretentious and vain, kneeling in front of her to apologize... If she took a picture and watched it every day, she could eat three more bowls of rice.

"Forget it." She waved her hand boredly: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to play with my friends."

"Okay." Ruan Xingchen responded gently and nodded to the three Cheng family members. "I still have other guests to entertain. Please help yourselves."

Her slender and graceful figure quickly blended into the crowd.

Cheng Min stared at her, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, gradually revealing a smile full of excitement.

Not only was he not angry, but he seemed to have seen an interesting prey, and he was planning to pick this fiery rose and put it in his own vase with boiling blood.

Then cut off all the sharp thorns, crush the beautiful petals, and listen to her broken cries and pleas...it must be fun.

"They've gone too far!" Cheng Yi was so angry that she was shaking with hatred and crying: "I will make them pay the price... I will make them kneel down in front of me and beg me!"

She has been supported by the Huo family since she was a child. When has she ever suffered such injustice?

"Don't worry, Yiyi. Mom and your brother will definitely help you vent your anger." Aunt Huo was heartbroken and hugged her in her arms: "Just wait, they won't be able to be so proud for a few days."

On the other side, Lin Rou watched this scene with a look of contempt on her face.

"Look, this is the woman you've fallen for." She slapped her son on the back in anger, feeling very disappointed with him. "She's mean and unfeeling, rude to her elders, and once she's in power, she becomes arrogant and looks down on everyone. A woman this vulgar, even if she lands on a branch, she'll never turn into a phoenix. What good is that?"
