Chapter 637: 137: Too late for regrets!_7

Loo Yiyi slightly furrowed her brows and repeated her earlier words, then continued with a hint of bitterness, "I haven’t done anything wrong. The Shen Family is already in such a state; if we don’t sever ties with them, are we expected to provide aid like a poverty relief effort?"

People always aim for higher places, just as water flows downhill.

Zhou Yuanman trembled with rage upon hearing her words and, in a fit of anger, slapped Loo Yiyi across the face. "You good-for-nothing wretch, I’ll kill you!"

Loo Yiyi was stunned by the slap, her left cheek numb and in searing pain, her ears ringing.

It took her a while to recover, and then cradling her face, she cried out, "What did I do wrong? Zhou Yuanman, what right do you have to hit me?"

In their more than ten years of marriage, her husband had never laid a hand on her.

But this time, he had struck her because of the Shen Family.

Loo Yiyi seemed to realize something, and turned to Zhou Yuanman with rage, "Oh! I get it now! Are you having an affair with that Loo Xiyue? Is that why you’re protecting her so fiercely?"

Zhou Yuanman, already furious, grew even angrier at her accusation and grabbed Loo Yiyi by the hair, "Listen well, Loo Yiyi! The Shen Group is fine now, back to normal! Not only that, they’ve landed an international collaboration order and are about to go public! Now are you happy?"

What?

Loo Yiyi’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The Shen Group had returned to normal?

And, moreover, about to go public?

How, how could this be possible!

Loo Yiyi struggled to calm herself down and looked at Zhou Yuanman, "Is, is there some mistake?"

Zhou Yuanman loosened his tie, "The news is already out; do you think it’s a mistake?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuanman turned on the TV, switching to the financial news channel’s replay mode.

The next second, Loo Xiyue’s face appeared on the screen.

Seeing Loo Xiyue, Loo Yiyi felt as if all strength had been drained from her body in an instant, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

How could this be!

She had thought the Shen Group was done for, which is why she took such drastic measures.

But now...

The Shen Group had miraculously come back to life.

Zhou Yuanman was pondering on ways to rectify the situation when he turned to a servant and said, "Go call Miss down."

"Of course," the servant nodded in response.

Zhou Yuanman, somewhat irritated, sat on the sofa pressing his temples.

Zhou Tongtong came downstairs to see the scene and was completely dumbfounded.

"Mom, what, what happened to you?" Zhou Tongtong helped Loo Yiyi up from the ground and looked toward Zhou Yuanman, "Dad, did you hit my mom?"

Upon hearing this, Loo Yiyi immediately said, "Don’t blame your father, sweetheart. It was Mommy who accidentally fell down."

Zhou Tongtong slightly furrowed her brows, aware something was amiss, but dared not say any more.

Zhou Yuanman looked at Loo Yiyi, "Now you will go with me to the Shen Family and apologize to Mrs. Shen."

Then his gaze fell on Zhou Tongtong, "Tongtong, you come along as well. After all, you and Junjun are best friends; speak well of your mother in front of Junjun when we get there."

Zhou Tongtong and Shen Lijun were indeed best friends.

For the sake of their friendship, Shen Lijun would surely plead on behalf of Loo Yiyi.

And the parents’ favorite was none other than their only daughter, Shen Lijun.

With this thought, Zhou Yuanman felt relieved.

Apologize?

Go to the Shen Family?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tongtong was also bewildered, "Dad, why does mom have to apologize to Loo Xiyue?"

Tears welling in her eyes, Loo Yiyi looked at her daughter, "The Shen Family, the Shen Family is okay now."

Not only okay.

They’re doing even better than before.

"What?" Zhou Tongtong’s eyes widened, disbelief filling her gaze.

Zhou Yuanman massaged his forehead, "Enough, no more nonsense! Let’s hurry to the Shen Family!"

Zhou Tongtong followed behind Zhou Yuanman, her expression blank.

She didn’t dare tell her father about her fallout with Shen Lijun.

Before long.

The car pulled up in front of the Shen Family Villa.

Normally, the Zhou Family members would be allowed to enter without reporting, but today, they were stopped at the gate.

Zhou Yuanman looked earnestly at the butler, "Butler Liu, I’m here sincerely bringing my unworthy wife to apologize to Brother Shen and his wife. Please, let us in."

Butler Liu had rushed over from his hometown as soon as he received a call from Loo Xiyue. Although he wasn’t in Qing City for a while, he was well aware of the Zhou Family’s actions.

Such despicable people!

Thankfully his employers knew their true colors in advance.

"Mr. Zhou, please have some self-respect. Our masters do not have a younger brother, let alone one of a different surname! When the Shen Family was in decline, all of you shunned them, eager to sever ties with our masters immediately. And now you have the audacity to come here; truly shameless!"

"Please leave!"

With that, the butler gave the order to leave.

Zhou Yuanman’s face flushed with shame and he continued, "Then, is it possible for Miss Shen to come out briefly? She and our Tongtong are best friends, after all. The disputes between adults shouldn’t compromise the friendship between the children, right?"

At any cost, he did not want to lose the Shen Family as an influential backer.

Now, his daughter was the Zhou Family’s only hope.

Hearing this, the butler snorted disdainfully and glanced down at Zhou Tongtong, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "Miss Zhou, have you forgotten what you’ve done? If I were you, I’d find a hole to crawl into and hide! It’s true what they say—like parents, like child! Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are ungrateful, and Miss Zhou is no better, a chip off the old block!"
