CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 493: ONE MORE DESPICABLE THAN THE OTHER

Mr. Xue, Xue Sheng’s father, was the first to visit the Lv Family’s home, wanting to offer an apology and brought Xue Sheng along.

However, Lv Liang refused to even see them. Mr. Xue was somewhat enraged, as he had always been held in high regard, and now being turned away made him feel uncomfortable.

Still, for the sake of that nearly one billion investment, he had no choice but to persevere. Although Lv Liang’s outward identity was merely as a director, the things he could accomplish went far beyond that, and Mr. Xue had benefited greatly from it.

Xue Sheng was rather dissatisfied and muttered under his breath:

"Dad, do we really need to humble ourselves like this?"

"Shut up! You haven’t even explained yourself properly. What exactly did you do to make your Uncle Lv so angry? Didn’t I remind you before? Before the wedding, don’t cause any trouble. Even if you dislike Lv Pingting, you need to endure it. A wife is someone you bring home. As for your affairs outside, I won’t interfere, but you must understand the reality!"

Xue Sheng scoffed and said:

"I just can’t stand her overbearing attitude. Is that so wrong?"

"We’re asking something of them—that makes it wrong! Later, lower your stance, got it?"

Xue Sheng replied reluctantly, "Got it, got it."

Mr. Lv stepped out with a frosty expression, his face dark and stormy. He said coldly:

"Xue Sheng, you still have the audacity to show up?"

"Brother Liang, why are you so upset? If Xue Sheng has angered you, I will apologize on his behalf. He’s just a kid and doesn’t know better; please be more forgiving."

Lv Liang sneered, "Forgiving? He directly hit my daughter. What else can I say? The arranged marriage between our two families is over. I refuse to watch my precious daughter, whom I’ve cherished, end up being subjected to domestic violence."

Mr. Xue was taken aback and hurriedly said:

"Something like that happened? How could I not know? Xue Sheng, tell me, did you do something to make your Uncle Lv misunderstand you?"

"This is no misunderstanding—I saw it with my own eyes! All to protect another woman, you humiliated my daughter like this. I’ve reached my limit! The engagement must be canceled."

Mr. Xue was stunned and immediately slapped Xue Sheng across the face, cursing:

"You ungrateful child! How dare you do something like this? What kind of lessons have I taught you all these years? Didn’t you say the person you most wanted to marry was Pingting? Were you seduced by some woman outside? Or is there some misunderstanding between you and Pingting?"

These words sounded like blame, but in truth, they were meant to defend him.

"Brother Liang, we’ve known each other for years. Young people are impulsive and prone to mistakes. As long as they can change, it’s never too late to make amends. Don’t you agree?"

Lv Liang sneered, "He raised his hand against her!"

Mr. Xue gave Xue Sheng a meaningful look, and even though Xue Sheng was strongly unwilling, he had no choice but to admit fault.

He immediately knelt before Mr. Lv and said, "Father-in-law, I was wrong. I swear, from now on, I will never lay a finger on Pingting. If I violate this promise, may the heavens strike me down!"

Mr. Lv’s expression hesitated. After all, the Lv Family and Xue Family had shared years of camaraderie—perhaps it was merely a squabble between the two.

Seeing the hesitation, Mr. Xue added fuel to the fire: "Brother Liang, rest assured, if Pingting marries into our family, I promise to give her half of my company’s shares. What do you think?"

"Are you serious about that?"

"Absolutely genuine—I swear on my life’s honor!"

Such tremendous sincerity forced Mr. Lv to reconsider.

His attitude began to soften slightly.
