CHAPTER 572: CHAPTER 492 YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON ME

Lv Pingting sneered coldly, "Nothing? Then why are you so flustered the moment I mentioned something? What, I can’t even say her name? Don’t forget, these past two days, it’s you who’s been begging for reconciliation, not me."

"We’re about to get married, why make a fuss? Anyway, you’re going to be my wife. I’ve been tolerating you so much already, why do you have to push me this far?"

"I’m pushing you? Isn’t it you and Mo Wenwan who pushed me to the brink! I’ve seen the photos of you two kissing passionately. Who knows, maybe you two have already rolled around in bed together. A scumbag and a slut—what a perfect match."

With a loud slap, he struck her across the face. Xue Sheng’s expression was ferocious, as if he were ready to devour someone.

Lv Pingting stared at him in shock:

"You hit me?"

"Wen Wan, such a kind-hearted woman, and you dare to insult her? Who else would I hit if not you? Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for Wen Wan convincing me to humor you, do you think I’d willingly entertain you? You really think you’re some sort of spoiled princess? What a joke!"

His face was full of malice, his mouth spewing vulgarities, reducing her to nothing but dirt.

At this moment, someone who had been sitting behind a screen at another table suddenly strode out. Mr. Lv could no longer tolerate it and landed a resounding slap across Xue Sheng’s face, roaring:

"You dare lay a hand on my precious daughter! I wouldn’t even touch a single hair on her, and you have the audacity to hit her!"

Xue Sheng, dazed from the slap, hadn’t expected Mr. Lv to be here. His face turned pale in an instant.

"End the engagement! I demand it! Xue Sheng, the Lv Family cannot accommodate a pompous fool like you. Get lost—however far you can, just get lost."

Xue Sheng grew anxious and hurriedly said:

"Uncle Lv, it was just a slip of the hand, it really wasn’t intentional. I’m deeply sorry! Our families have a long-standing relationship, and you even have project collaborations with us. Do you really want to destroy everything over this?"

"You dare bring up business with me? Let me tell you, from this moment on, anything concerning the Xue Family has absolutely nothing to do with Lv Liang!"

Mr. Lv had always treated Lv Pingting as his most treasured gem. Previously, he thought Xue Sheng wasn’t bad and allowed the two to get engaged. But witnessing this man lay hands on his daughter—how could this matter go unresolved?

Lv Pingting sobbed uncontrollably, and beside her, Mrs. Lv looked at her daughter with unbearable sorrow. At home, they had always pampered her, never even raising their voice at her.

And now Xue Sheng dared to hit her—if he would do this now, especially because of another woman, what would happen in the future?

Wouldn’t he end up beating her to death?

"My poor daughter, don’t worry. Your mom and dad will stand up for you. Old Lv, what is there to collaborate with the Xue Family for? Cancel everything! Without our Lv Family, would the Xue Family have risen so quickly? Now that they’ve grown wings, they don’t respect us anymore, pretending to be civil upfront but scheming behind our backs. I will absolutely not let my daughter suffer aggrieved!"

Lv Pingting cried sorrowfully. Xue Sheng’s face looked grim as he wanted to say more, but Lv Liang had already taken Lv Pingting and left.

Xue Sheng’s heart sank with panic. He hurried to discuss the situation with his father. Although the Xue Family was faring decently now, they’d relied on connections introduced by the Lv Family to climb their way up.

Currently, there was a project involving billions of funds, with the Xue Family acting as the lead—it was even a government-backed project.

Moreover, the government would also provide a capital stake. Everything was ready except for this last bit of support from the Lv Family.

If this key support were lost, the entire initiative would be rendered futile!
