Chapter 2

He’s Gone Too Far

Xu Jiaojiao was already in low spirits, but after they mocked and ridiculed her, her disappointment slowly dissipated. Her eyes were still red, but her gaze was very cold. “And I don’t care for Lu Zhuo, someone who changes his mind without the slightest sense of responsibility.”

“What did you say?!” Lu Huan exploded.

“I’m telling the truth. Since Lu Zhuo is still attached to his ex-girlfriend, I wish them a long and happy life. As for today’s wedding, cancel it. Our engagement is also over.” Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was loud and clear.

The Lu Family would not make good in-laws in the first place. For Lu Zhuo’s sake, she had been tolerating his mother and younger sister. Now that their engagement was canceled, she naturally did not have to take their attitude anymore.

Lu Zhuo’s mother’s expression instantly darkened. “You’re just a wild child from the countryside. What gives you the right to turn down my son? Our Lu Zhuo was so unlucky he had to get married to you. Perfect, now the engagement has been canceled. It was all your grandmother’s ploy to begin with. If she hadn’t forced my Lu Zhuo to get engaged to you in advance, using her old age as leverage, do you really think someone of your status can marry into our Lu family?”

Lu Huan chimed in, “That’s right. Your grandmother forced my brother to marry you just because she was about to die. You’re just as shameless as your grandmother…”

“Shut up!” Xu Jiaojiao’s expression suddenly turned cold. “If I hear another word of disrespect to my grandmother, I won’t hold back!”

Lu Huan had grown up in a pampered family. After Xu Jiaojiao scolded her, her temper flared up. “Is that a threat?! You’re just a wild girl, and you’re so fierce. No wonder my brother doesn’t like you…” As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and shoved Xu Jiaojiao.

Because of the ceremony, Xu Jiaojiao was wearing high heels today. Caught off guard by Lu Huan’s push, she lost her balance and fell backward.

Xu Jiaojiao panicked and subconsciously wanted to grab onto something. However, not only did Lu Zhuo’s mother and Lu Huan, who were closest to her, not reach out to support her, they even took a step back when they saw her reach out.

Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips. Just as she was mentally prepared to fall to the ground, someone supported her waist and steadied her. Xu Zhengyang’s angry voice rang in her ears. “Motherf*cker, how dare you hit my little sister?!”

When she heard Xu Zhengyang’s voice, Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes instantly turned red. The suppressed grievances, sadness, and other emotions surged into her heart.

Lu Zhuo’s mother noticed that Xu Zhengyang was dressed impeccably in a white suit, but he cursed the moment he opened his mouth. She said disdainfully, “We didn’t touch her. We only grazed her lightly. She was the one who didn’t stand properly, and now you’re blaming us? Also, is this how you talk to your elders? Didn’t your parents teach you how to respect your elders?”

Lu Huan also said, “From the looks of it, the Xu family is uneducated indeed. Both the men and women are not intolerable.”

“What right do you have to talk about our family’s matters?” Xu Zhengyang glared, his beautiful eyes filled with anger. “Lu Zhuo should be thanking his lucky stars that my Jiaojiao is willing to marry him! But that idiot actually dared to run away from the altar. Does he really think that our family is that down on our luck? Does he think he can trample over us however he likes?!”

When Xu Zhengyang found out that Lu Zhuo had left the wedding, he came over to discuss with Xu Jiaojiao what to do next. However, he did not expect to see Lu Zhuo’s mother and sister bullying Xu Jiaojiao! He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. “Who does Bai Mengyao think she is?! Who do you think you are, Lu Huan?! The two of you together can’t even compare to a strand of our Jiaojiao’s hair! Trash! You’re all trash! You’re rats in the gutter who only know how to play tricks in the dark!”

Xu Zhengyang was like a firecracker. He kept attacking Lu Huan with all kinds of insults. Lu Huan had never been scolded like this before. Her eyes turned red as she pulled her mother’s arm. “Mom, he… he’s gone too far.”

After all these years, Lu Zhuo’s mother had not heard such a long string of vulgarities for a long time, thanks to her high status. For a moment, she was stunned. She pointed at Xu Zhengyang for a long time but could not utter a complete sentence.

“Stop stammering like a moron!” Xu Zhengyang gritted his teeth. “Go back and tell that idiot Lu Zhuo never to show his face in front of me in the future. Otherwise, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”

Xu Zhengyang was famous in Luo City for being a playboy and a violent thug. Lu Zhuo’s mother did not doubt his threat at all.
