Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Begging for Mercy

Old Master Lian turned his head to look at Lian Xuan and discreetly glared at him.

Lian Xuan received Old Master Lian’s gaze, clenched his molars, and knelt down directly in front of everyone, "This matter is entirely my fault from start to finish. Just as my grandfather said, I mistook a fish eye for a pearl, not only letting the real pearl gather dust but also causing our family to become this mess. I am not a good son, grandson, or a good heir, and I am the same as not being a good boyfriend. I don’t know what I can do to make you forgive me, but I will do my utmost to make it up to Xiao Lian."

Lian Xuan raised his head, looking at Chu Lian with guilt yet determination, and said, "I have wronged you, I was blinded and easily believed others, hurting you. I don’t know what I can do to make you forgive me, or maybe you will never forgive me in this life. But I’m willing to do whatever it takes for you, just hoping you can feel a bit better in your heart."

Xu Ke raised his eyebrows; his understanding of Lian Xuan refreshed once again. It seems that one never knows what a person will do to rise up until they’re pushed to the edge.

Xu Ke quietly sat on the side, pinching a small cake, eating while watching the drama unfold.

"Hmph, your Lian family is really something. When this thing happened before, you parents didn’t discipline your child and even helped hide it from my daughter, treating people from our Chu family like fools. When things couldn’t be concealed any longer, your good son went ahead and hurt my daughter. When we asked you to apologize, you were unwilling, and even publicly humiliated our Xiao Lian. Now that the Lian family is falling, you’re playing sincere apologies? Don’t you think the Lian family has gone too far?" Madam Chu suddenly slapped the sofa, stood up, and pointed at the Lian family, shouting loudly.

"This matter is our Lian family’s fault, so we came here today to admit our mistakes and seek redemption. I know that the relationship between our two families has cracked now, but I still want to put aside my old face and hope Chu Family can give us Lian Family a chance to correct our wrongs," said Old Master Lian, sighing and speaking in a voice full of shame amidst Madam Chu’s accusations.

"Old Master Lian, you’re old, and we respect you, but now that the Lian family is gone, are you still trying to rely on your age to gain sympathy? How much is your face worth?" Madam Chu sneered, the contempt on her face almost freezing the Lian family in place.

Chu Tianyang and Chu Lian shared the grapes on the plate, leaving the battlefield entirely to Mrs. Chu.

"Don’t keep eating cake; it’s too sweet and bad for your teeth. Have some fruit and drink some tea." Chu Lian pushed the fruit plate in front of her toward Xu Ke’s direction.

As soon as Chu Lian spoke, the eyes in the room focused on her.

Kneeling on the ground, feeling like his knees no longer existed, Lian Xuan felt a buzzing sound in his mind. Although he didn’t like Chu Lian, he always regarded her as his possession, something that would wait for him no matter what. Now that Chu Lian was showing kindness to another person, how could he not be angry?

"Shut up, things have come to this point, and our Lian family is at fault. The biggest fault lies with me, but can you say that your Chu family has no fault at all? Yes, I found a female star, and even hit Chu Lian for her, but can you say Chu Lian has no responsibility in this matter?"

"Both of our families know that no matter what, we are meant to be in-laws. Even if I’m good to other women, the position of Mrs. Lian is hers; this ironclad fact will not change. But what did Chu Lian do? She acted like a shrew in public, hitting someone and making this matter known to everyone, utterly humiliating me."

"When a man goes out, who doesn’t have a few flings? This is an unspoken rule everyone knows, so what’s the fuss about? And in this relationship, am I the only one who’s unclean? I don’t think so. Aren’t Chu Lian and Xu Ke also unclear and pairing up? Did I make a fuss over their affairs? I never embarrassed her with these things, but she put me on the fire rack, so do you say all the responsibility lies with my Lian family?" Lian Xuan ignored Old Master Lian’s efforts to stop, shouted everything on his mind while kneeling on the ground.

"You brat, do you even know what you’re saying?" Old Master Lian saw the faces of the Chu family turning down, stumbled a bit as his vision grew dark, and struck Lian Xuan hard with a cane on the back, almost knocking the wind out of him.

"I know very well what I’m doing, clearer than ever," Lian Xuan said, looking at Old Master Lian with pitch-black eyes, calm and restrained.

"You brought me here today to shatter my dignity, kneel here to apologize to the Lian family, is it not to seek leniency from the Chu family? Is it not to use Chu Lian’s love for me, marry Chu Lian and revitalize the Lian family?" Lian Xuan slowly stood up from the ground, patting the non-existent dust on his knees as he spoke.

"But grandpa, you’re old. Your eyes only see what you want to see, what you believe in, and nothing else. Now open your eyes wide and look, look at Chu Lian and Xu Ke. Do they seem like ordinary friends? Your grandson is no longer in her heart. She’s long been in love with someone else, and even if I’m willing to wear a green hat, they wouldn’t bother to give me one." Lian Xuan shouted loudly.

Facing Lian Xuan’s accusations, Xu Ke patted non-existent cake crumbs off him, changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa before speaking, "Only a filthy person sees everything as filthy. Whether the Lian family believes it or not, Miss Chu and I are innocent. I do not accept such baseless accusations. Just because I’m here at the Chu family today, does it mean there is an affair between Miss Chu and me? If that’s what you think, then I must say your mindset is really narrow."

"Pardon my intrusion, but what are you trying to convey with this long-winded speech while kneeling here today? Though you claim you’re here to admit your wrongs, in your heart, you never believe you’ve done anything wrong. You just keep making excuses, pushing all the faults onto others. Honestly, I don’t know how someone like you became the heir of the Lian family, lacking any sense of responsibility as a man. If the Lian family were left to someone like you, even if it hasn’t gone bankrupt yet, it probably will in a few years," Xu Ke said with disdain, his attitude condescending.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think you’re so grand and remarkable? Have you stepped into the center of the Xu Group? Probably still in a marginalized position, right? What are you? Just a puppet, yet you dare mock me here." Lian Xuan was completely reckless today; he knew his life had ended, so he didn’t care anymore.
