Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Words That Leave One Speechless

He had guessed correctly; Luo Haotian parked the car outside the village and walked in with his sons, having heard everything they had discussed earlier.

Luo Haotian pulled Luo Qiao over and said in front of so many people, "Jianjun, we four who were involved in that incident are all here. I made things clear to you last time. What is your family up to now?"

Zhang Jianjun knew no explanation would persuade Haotian to forgive him, so he simply said, "Rest assured, it was just a joke made while sitting together back then. I’ll take care of Cuiping and won’t let her spout nonsense again."

Luo Haotian turned to Zhong Cuiping, "What exactly happened back then? You tell the story."

Zhong Cuiping felt embarrassed. How could she say such a thing? Wasn’t this just slapping her own face?

But seeing the murderous look in Luo Haotian’s eyes, she had no choice but to say, "Yes, it was indeed a joke made in casual conversation at the time. But I thought it was a good thing, right?"

Luo Qiao responded, "A good thing? You don’t just say whatever comes to mind. Have you ever considered how much trouble your words have caused me, ever thought about my reputation?

You think it’s a good thing? You have a daughter too. How about I randomly pick a family for her? I think it’s a good thing. What do you think?"

Zhang Jianjun and his wife were mortified by the rebuke from their junior, Luo Qiao. At that moment, Zhong Cuiping felt somewhat relieved; thankfully, the matter had not gone through. Otherwise, having such a formidable daughter-in-law would have driven her to frustration.

Luo Haotian continued, "If I hear anything more about this arranged child marriage, then our two families will no longer interact. I don’t need friends who stab me in the back."

Zhang Jianjun quickly said, "Haotian, we have years of friendship. We can’t let this create a rift between us. This will never happen again."

While speaking, he pulled over Zhong Cuiping, who was standing aside. She reluctantly added, "I was foolish. I won’t talk nonsense again."

Luo Haotian didn’t want to deal with these rotten issues anymore and warned Ning Xueling, "Remember my words, don’t bring people to my home, or I will show you what shame really is."

Luo Haotian glanced at the onlookers and began walking towards the outskirts of the village with Luo Qiao.

Since everything had been arranged here and they had planned to leave anyway, he spoke to the cadres as they walked away, "I’ll be going now, then. I’ll come back in a few days."

Accountant Sun assured, "Don’t worry, we’ll make sure it’s taken care of."

They had to take care of it; after all, Luo Qiao had paid their salaries.

As they walked, Luo Qiao asked, "Dad, why did third brother and fourth brother come with you?"

Luo Siyuan said, "Dad contacted us. Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry you had to endure this."

Just then, Zhao Jianing broke through the crowd and caught up with Luo Haotian, "Dad, third brother, fourth brother, how can you be so heartless? We’ve lived together for so long; how can you treat me like this?"

Luo Haotian replied, "Your own parents are alive. What right do you have to feel wronged? What? Your father doesn’t treat you well? But that’s your fate. You carry their blood; that’s something you can’t change.

The reason I treated you kindly and pampered you for the past fifteen years is that you took my daughter’s place. And now that everything is back to normal, you’re struggling to cope? My daughter has suffered for so many years and hasn’t even settled the score with you.

Since the Zhao family insists on meddling in the Luo family’s affairs and refuses to acknowledge their mistakes, then my Luo family will not be bullied."

Zhao Jianing choked up, "I just want to go back to Capital City to study and live. Can’t you help me out for old times’ sake?"

Luo Siyuan said sarcastically, "What place have you left for your own father? If he lacks even the ability to fund your education, what’s the point in living?"

Zhao Changlin thought to himself that father and son truly matched, both speaking such stinging truths.

The villagers of Qingshan Village began discussing among themselves, "She really has a thick skin, doesn’t she? After all that’s been said, she still expects help. It’s honestly laughable."

"Where’s Zhao Pulin? Hiding away won’t solve anything. This daughter and her parents are shameless alike."

Zhao Changlin couldn’t bear to listen any longer. He prepared to leave and find his younger brother, Zhao Pulin, so he could drag this disgraceful niece away.
