In the end, Old Madam Xu chose to surrender!
Under the heavy pressure from the two wealthy families, she had no choice but to say no!
Facing the angry and humiliated gazes of the Xu family and the various looks from the guests, Old Madam Xu had a frozen face and slowly, humiliatingly, and bit by bit, bent her knees in the direction of Lu Qingtang.
Before her knees touched the ground, Old Madam Xu was secretly holding onto hope. Lu Qingtang was a junior, and unless she completely disregarded her reputation and face, she would never dare to openly accept such a great gift from her!
But what disappointed Madam Xu was that until her knees completely hit the ground, the expression of the unrealistically young girl opposite her remained unchanged.
She just stood there quietly, looking at her with dark eyes, a cold smile on her red lips, and accepted her gift without flinching or avoiding!
Madam Xu's old, withered eyes oozing with a hint of ferocity, she stared intently at the girl opposite her, emphasizing each word, "Miss Lu, it is my family's fault for not raising our daughter properly. Please... please be magnanimous and forgive us!"
Lu Qingtang laughed coldly, "Madam Xu, have you remembered this?"
"This is the proper attitude to apologize and admit one's mistakes!"
Everyone at the scene looked at this scene in horror.
The young ladies standing opposite Old Madam Xu screamed and moved away.
For a moment, the only people left there were Lu Qingtang, Jiang Shubai, and the young girl who followed him and was not noticed by anyone.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a concept ingrained in the H people.
This traditional concept, formed over thousands of years, has led many people to maintain basic decency in public even when the elders in the family are fighting each other to the death in secret.
But today, they witnessed with their own eyes that the most distinguished old lady in Qincheng knelt down in public to apologize to an eighteen-year-old girl.
This behavior... is nothing short of outrageous!
But to accuse "Lu Wensheng" of doing something wrong...is not entirely true.
To be fair, if everything that Lu Wensheng went through happened to them, they might be even crazier and more cruel than Lu Wensheng!
For a moment, all kinds of complicated gazes were focused on Lu Qingtang.
Shock, shock, accusation, admiration...
When Xu Jiaying and Madam Xu bullied Lu Wensheng unscrupulously, they could never have imagined that one day their ancestor would kneel on the ground in public and apologize to the victim for their viciousness and tyranny!
The Xu family members were so angry that they trembled all over when they saw their ancestor kneeling in public before an orphan girl who had once been despised and hated by all of them.
Xu Jiayu's eyes were full of humiliation.
He stared at Lu Qingtang, his words angrily and coldly saying, "Lu Wensheng, my Xu family will remember this humiliation!"
Lu Qingtang raised his chin and smiled sarcastically, completely ignoring Xu Jiayu's threat.
She looked down at Madam Xu with a smile, "Madam Xu, I said—"
"I want you to kowtow to Shengsheng and apologize for the mistakes Xu Jiaying and Madam Xu made!"
The corners of Old Madam Xu's mouth trembled violently, and her eyes, staring at Lu Qingtang, were filled with dark energy.
However, seeing Jiang Shubai standing by, she remembered Ning's threat and suppressed her anger. She aimed at Lu Qingtang and kowtowed to him.
boom--
In the deadly silent hall, Madam Xu's cold voice...
"Jiaying was wrong. She shouldn't have been so vicious and domineering, leading others to bully and humiliate Miss Lu!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingtang's smile became even sweeter, "Continue!"
Old Madam Xu gasped and banged her head on the ground again.
boom--
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault. She shouldn't have relied on the Xu family's power...abuse her authority and bully Miss Lu!"
Lu Qingtang raised his eyebrows and said, "Continue!"
Old Madam Xu looked at Lu Qingtang's arrogant and unruly eyes, and her old face seemed a little distorted.
She gritted her teeth and banged her head on the ground again, aiming towards Lu Qingtang.
boom--
"Jiayu was wrong. He shouldn't have... tried to protect his mother and sister and sent Miss Lu to a mental hospital..."
Lu Qingtang sneered, "Look, isn't Madam Xu quite polite and knows how to apologize?"
"I thought the Xu family didn't know how to write the words 'right' and 'wrong', so I took the trouble to teach you..."
When the Xu family heard Lu Qingtang's arrogant and contemptuous words, their expressions were humiliated and angry, and they wanted to pounce on Lu Qingtang and tear him to pieces on the spot!
The young girl standing behind Jiang Shubai saw Old Madam Xu kowtow to her again and again, and heard her confessing the mistakes of the Xu family word by word. Her face turned pale and her long eyelashes slowly drooped.
Madam Xu stared at Lu Qingtang, her voice cold and icy, like the gleam of a sharp knife. "Miss Lu is right. From now on... I will definitely discipline the younger generation and make sure they... never dare to act recklessly again!"
Lu Qingtang seemed unaware of Madam Xu's terrifying expression. She looked at her with her dark almond-shaped eyes and smiled as brightly as a beautiful rose in full bloom. "Madam Xu, you must keep your word."
"If anyone in the Xu family commits an unjust act again in the future, it won't be as simple as kneeling down and apologizing!"
"By then... it's the entire Xu family that will have to pay the price!
Madam Xu looked at the girl's bright and beautiful face, her face turning pale. "Thank you Miss Lu... for your teachings!"
Lu Qingtang helped Lu Wensheng vent his anger, achieving her first purpose in coming to the Xu family today. Then she snorted coldly and said with a condescending smile, "Since Madam Xu's apology is quite sincere, I will be magnanimous and not argue with Xu Jiaying and Madam Xu."
"The crimes they committed against Shengsheng will be judged by the law. They will be sentenced accordingly..."
Seeing Lu Qingtang relax, the Xu family hurried forward to help Old Madam Xu.
With the help of Xu Jiayu, Old Madam Xu stood up tremblingly.
She looked at the guests present, and with the last bit of strength she had, she forced a smile and said, "I'm going to go change my clothes. Everyone... take your time."
The guests at the scene came to their senses and pretended to lower their heads as if they had seen nothing.
After all... the Xu family's status is there.
Lu Wensheng dares to be so eccentric, but they don’t dare!
"You're welcome, Madam Xu..."
"Today is your eightieth birthday, please take care of yourself..."
With the Xu family and the guests pretending to be deaf and dumb to each other, Old Lady Xu was able to preserve her final dignity and was helped up to the second floor by the Xu family.
The guests all sighed as they watched the Xu family flee in such a panic.
If the Xu family had known earlier that inviting Miss Lu to the Xu family would have such a result... they would definitely not have made such a decision!
Although the Xu family was in the wrong, after this incident, no one dared to approach Lu Qingtang again.
No matter how beautiful a rose is, if it grows too high... you can only stay away from it.
Lu Qingtang ignored the gazes of the people around him, and with a smile on his face, he looked at the girl behind Jiang Shubai, "This lady is..."
Dean Jiang looked at her spoiled and playful expression, and the corners of his lips curled slightly...
