Chapter 766: Seven hundred sixty-four, Decision
Hearing Old Madam Zhuo’s voice, Zhuo Luoluo opened her eyes and immediately burst into tears at the sight of her grandmother’s worried, heartbroken face.
Old Madam Zhuo reached out her hand and gently patted Zhuo Luoluo on the back, "My dear child, don’t cry. Grandma will definitely seek justice for you." Luoluo had a hurt mouth and couldn’t ask any questions. But no matter who the person who bullied her granddaughter was, she wouldn’t let them get away with it.
"Mhm!" Zhuo Luoluo nodded, with her tears flowing even more fiercely.
Outside the door, after listening to Mother Zhuo’s recount, Father Zhuo fell silent. He knew that his only option now was to keep things quiet. Otherwise, the Zhuo family would definitely be affected by this incident, and if the consequences were severe, perhaps they would no longer have a place in Jiangcheng.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law enter the room, Old Madam Zhuo asked, "Who is the one who hurt Luoluo?"
"Mom! Let’s just let this matter go," Father Zhuo said, his tone filled with deep helplessness. He wanted to fight for his daughter’s justice too, but that was only possible when their own strength was greater; otherwise, it was tantamount to seeking one’s own doom.
"What did you say?!" Old Madam Zhuo looked at Father Zhuo as if she didn’t recognize him, "You are Luoluo’s father, and now she’s been injured and her appearance ruined. This will affect her for her entire life, and you just say to forget about it? Are you even fit to be a father?"
"I don’t want this either, but should I gamble the entire Zhuo family?" Father Zhuo said helplessly.
"What do you mean? Does the person who hurt Luoluo really have that much strength?" Old Madam Zhuo looked at Father Zhuo in disbelief. The Zhuo family was also a name to be reckoned with in Jiangcheng, and not many families dared to disrespect them.
"The Lu family, the number one family in Yan Country. The person who hurt Luoluo is Lu Hanmo, the future head of the Lu family. Do you think we still have a chance of getting justice in this matter?" Father Zhuo looked at his mother, waiting for her response.
Old Madam Zhuo’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, "How could Luoluo have provoked him?" That was no different than stirring up the heavens, wasn’t it?
Mother Zhuo could only repeat the whole story once again.
After listening, Old Madam Zhuo looked at Zhuo Luoluo on the hospital bed, "You are really foolish. Is Lu Hanmo someone you can afford to provoke?" This time, she did not take Luoluo’s side; compared to the family, she seemed insignificant.
"Let’s think about how to appease Lu Hanmo’s anger now. If he doesn’t calm down and takes it out on the Zhuo family, then we are truly finished," Father Zhuo said. His one and only concern was this.
Old Madam Zhuo glanced at Zhuo Luoluo on the bed, then turned to Father Zhuo and said, "Tomorrow, place an announcement in the newspaper, declaring that Zhuo Luoluo has nothing to do with the Zhuo family from now on." She loved her granddaughter, but if she had to choose between her and the family, she wouldn’t hesitate to choose the family.
The three people present all looked at Old Madam Zhuo in disbelief.
Zhuo Luoluo looked at Old Madam Zhuo, searching for evidence on her body that this wasn’t her grandmother. Was this really the grandmother who had always loved her since she was a child? Just moments ago, she was showing her tender care, but in the blink of an eye, she was heartlessly driving her out. How could she accept such a sudden change?
"Mom! This isn’t right," Mother Zhuo looked at Old Madam Zhuo, hoping she would change her mind. She had always been the one who loved Luoluo the most, but now, she was becoming the person who hurt Luoluo the deepest.
"Yes!" Father Zhuo also agreed with a nod. After all, Luoluo was his daughter; how could he bear to drive her out of the family.
"Otherwise, do you have a better idea?" Old Madam Zhuo coldly looked at her son and asked. The glory of the Zhuo Family today was largely due to her decisions. She had watched Luoluo grow up and knew her temperament better than anyone. If she were lenient now, the Zhuo Family would definitely be dragged down by her in the future. That’s why she had to make a decisive decision now.
Father Zhuo was immediately silenced!
"It’s settled then," Old Madam Zhuo said and, with that, she stepped out of the ward. Although the choice was not difficult to make, her heart would still need a long time before it could stop feeling the pain. Luoluo was her most beloved granddaughter; if she had any other choice, why would she make such a decision?
Father Zhuo took a deep look at Zhuo Luoluo and then followed out. He knew that as hard as it was for him, it must be even harder on his mother who made the decision.
Zhuo Luoluo watched Old Madam Zhuo and Father Zhuo leave, and her heart gradually grew colder. She had been abandoned just like that!
"Luoluo, don’t cry, Mom is still here for you," Mother Zhuo said as she reached out and hugged Zhuo Luoluo, trying to comfort her. Even if the whole world abandoned Luoluo, she would not, because Luoluo was a piece of her own flesh!
Zhuo Luoluo pushed away Mother Zhuo, who was holding her, "Go! You go too!" She didn’t need anyone’s pity.
"Don’t talk; otherwise, your wound will bleed again," Mother Zhuo quickly looked at Zhuo Luoluo’s wound to see if there was any blood seeping through the bandage, relieved that there wasn’t.
"Go!" Zhuo Luoluo shouted loudly. She just wanted to be alone and quiet for a while.
Bai Xuxu and Mother Bai happened to walk into the ward and were startled by Zhuo Luoluo’s shouting.
"Big sister, what happened?" Mother Bai asked in surprise, looking towards Mother Zhuo.
Bai Xuxu was also surprised. She walked up to the bedside, placed the thermos containing chicken soup on the cabinet, and said to Zhuo Luoluo, "Luoluo, you can’t talk right now, or your wound will split open."
"Get out! I don’t need your fake sympathy!" Zhuo Luoluo glared at Bai Xuxu angrily. Just thinking about how she had sided with Lu Hanmo and the others the day before made her teeth itch with hatred. From now on, she would act as if she had never known her.
"What on earth happened?" Mother Bai frowned and looked at Mother Zhuo, who couldn’t stop crying.
"Her grandmother came today, and after finding out what happened, she said she would put an announcement in the paper to sever ties with Luoluo," Mother Zhuo sobbed, sniffling.
"What?!" Mother Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief. Although it was indeed Luoluo’s fault, it shouldn’t have come to this.
Bai Xuxu, who had been a bit angry, felt her anger dissipated upon hearing the reason, leaving only sympathy for Zhuo Luoluo behind, "Luoluo, don’t be sad, you still have us. We will always be here for you." For any girl who had her face ruined, to expect her family to seek justice but instead receive such a result was more than anyone could bear.
Yet she could understand Old Madam Zhuo’s decision; any family would make the same decision under such circumstances. Though it may seem cruel, it was a way to protect oneself wisely.
"All of you, get out! Out!" Zhuo Luoluo’s eyes flashed with a crazed and frenzied look, she reached for the thermos Bai Xuxu had just put on the bedside table and hurled it at Bai Xuxu with all her might.
