"Mrs. Lu, I have never bullied anyone before. On the other hand, Miss Lu has always been provoking me!"

Being misunderstood like this and even coming here to denounce him, An Xingchen also felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Her voice also became colder as she continued: "Also, expelling Miss Lu is Gong Lingqian's decision, I don't have that kind of ability yet to control Gong Lingqian's decision. Mrs. Lu has found the wrong person."

After making things clear, An Xingchen felt that she had nothing better to say to Ruan Qingwan, so she stood up and said to Ruan Qingwan: "Mrs. Lu, I've made everything I have to say, I still have things to say, so I will be leaving first."

In Ruan Qingwan's eyes, the fact that An Xingchen turned around and left completely infuriated Ruan Qingwan. In her opinion, An Xingchen only dared to be so arrogant in front of her because she had Gong Lingqian supporting her from behind!

He spoke so rudely that even she dared to look down on him, and in her heart, she was even more certain that it was An Xingchen who bullied her first.

The rage in his heart grew even stronger, and he directly reached out and grabbed An Xingchen's wrist with all her might.

"Stop right there!"

Hearing Ruan Qingwan's voice which was obviously burning with anger, An Xingchen could only stop in her tracks. Looking at Ruan Qingwan, she couldn't help but frown.

Ruan Qingwan stared coldly at An Xingchen: "Miss An, you aren't willing to apologize now, nor are you willing to tell Ling Qian to let Yuan Yuan return to the Gong’s Group, right?"

"Mrs. Lu, I thought I had explained everything clearly." An Xingchen looked at Ruan Qingwan, and continued without making a sound: "Firstly, I did not do anything wrong, so I will not apologize. Secondly, expelling Miss Lu is Gong Lingqian's decision, I cannot make the decision."

Seeing that An Xingchen still had such a stubborn mouth, Ruan Qingwan's face became even uglier, and laughed coldly: "Sure! This is great! "

As Ruan Qingwan spoke, she changed the subject and coldly said: "You aren't willing to apologize, right? Very well, then I will personally teach you a lesson on your parents' behalf! "

With that said, Ruan Qingwan raised her hand and threw it towards An Xingchen's face.

An Xingchen did not expect to see the very gentle Ruan Qingwan to suddenly make a move, her entire being froze in place, even forgetting to dodge, and just saw Ruan Qingwan's palm strike that was about to land on An Xingchen's face.

In between the fire and lightning stones, a large palm suddenly extended forward and grabbed Ruan Qingwan's wrist.

His palm did not manage to reach An Xingchen's face.

An Xingchen and Ruan Qingwan were both startled, their gaze subconsciously looking at the person who walked over.

Just a moment ago, An Xingchen and Ruan Qingwan was too busy arguing that they did not notice Gong Lingqian walking towards them.

Gong Lingqian was originally waiting on the carriage, but because Ruan Qingwan and An Xingchen were sitting near the window, Gong Lingqian could see An Xingchen and Ruan Qingwan conversing.

Gong Lingqian waited for a long time, and when he saw that An Xingchen was still not out yet, and his expression was not right, he got off the car and walked in.

"Aunt Lu." Gong Lingqian took the initiative to greet Ruan Qingwan.

Ruan Qingwan only regained her senses after hearing Gong Lingqian's voice, and retracted her hand while pursing her lips.

Frowning, he looked at An Xingchen coldly with a displeased expression, and then looked at Gong Lingqian and said: "Ling Qian, why are you here as well?"

Gong Lingqian calmly nodded at Ruan Qingwan: "I sent Xingchen over."

Then, he looked at Ruan Qingwan and spoke out once again: "Aunt Lu, I wonder what Xingchen did to make you so angry, to the point that you wanted to hit her."

Ruan Qingwan had just lost her mind due to anger, but she had calmed down a little now, and knew that it was unjustifiable for her to hit her, but when she thought about her darling daughter getting beaten up by An Xingchen, Ruan Qingwan's face became even colder, and she looked at Gong Lingqian: "Ling Qian, it was this An Xingchen who hit Yuan Yuan! I only came to find her to apologize to Yuan Yuan! However, she refused to admit that she was wrong and refused to apologize to Yuan Yuan! "From what I see, she's relying on you to back her up. She's being lawless!"

When Gong Lingqian heard these words, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said in a straightforward manner, "Speaking of which, we should indeed apologize."

An Xingchen, who was standing behind Gong Lingqian, was stunned when he heard what Gong Lingqian had just said.

However, Ruan Qingwan's expression eased up slightly, and her calm expression finally eased up a little. She smiled and glanced at An Xingchen, and just as she was about to say something, Gong Lingqian's voice sounded out first: "However, Aunt Lu is not apologizing to An Xingchen, but to Miss Lu."

Ruan Qingwan heard the meaning behind Gong Lingqian's words, and his entire body froze in place, as he stared at Gong Lingqian in disbelief. Only after a long while did he regain his senses, and his voice trembled with anger: "Ling Qian, what are you saying! You want Yuan Yuan to apologize to her? "

Gong Lingqian looked at Ruan Qingwan with disbelief in his eyes, and nodded: "Yes, because it was indeed Miss Lu who made the first move on An Xingchen, Miss Lu should apologize to Xingchen!"

An Xingchen regained her senses, and after hearing what Gong Lingqian had just said, her heart warmed, and her eyes uncontrollably reddened a little. After so many years, this was the first time An Xingchen had ever felt protected by a misunderstanding.

Ever since her father passed away, Gong Lingqian was the first person to treat her so well, and trusted her unconditionally.

It would be a lie to say in his heart that he was not touched.

On the other hand, Ruan Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't say anything. How could she believe what Gong Lingqian said?

But An Xingchen had Gong Lingqian to protect her now, and there was nothing Ruan Qingwan could do about it. Furthermore, the Gong Family and the Lu Family had been friends for many years, so Ruan Qingwan would not be so impulsive to go against the Gong Family for such a small matter.

This matter could only end here.

In the end, Ruan Qingwan clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger, she pursed her lips and spoke to Gong Lingqian with a sullen face: "Fine, since you insist on protecting this woman, Ling Qian, I have nothing to say!"

With that, Ruan Qingwan grabbed the bag angrily, turned and left with big strides.

After Ruan Qingwan left, Gong Lingqian turned and looked at An Xingchen.

Four eyes met. Gong Lingqian looked at An Xingchen's slightly reddened eyes and couldn't help but frown. He raised his hand and lightly pinched the tip of An Xingchen's nose. "You feel wronged?"

An Xingchen shook her head lightly in embarrassment. She comforted An Xingchen and rubbed her soft hair: "It's alright, let's go home."
