Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 907: Chapter 908: You Think an Apology Is Enough?

Although Huo Jingrui respected the elder, he didn’t withdraw his aura because of what Grandfather Lu said: "Grandfather Lu, Uncle Lu, let’s forget about the apology."

When he said this, the Lu family thought Huo Jingrui was being considerate of the elder’s presence and was embarrassed to pursue the matter further, so they collectively sighed in relief.

Long Yueyue, who stood in the middle, even gave Yunyi a contemptuous glance, and her smug expression was fully captured by Huo Jingrui.

Yet before her expression could fade, Huo Jingrui said, "Miss Lu, how your expression looks doesn’t seem like someone who has come sincerely to apologize. Why bother with such a great show?"

The Lu family, seeing Long Yueyue unable to hide her expression, almost died of embarrassment on the spot.

It was truly humiliating.

Not giving them a chance to speak, Huo Jingrui continued, "About yesterday’s incident, I’m not sure if you’ve fully understood it. Not only did she use the Lu family’s connections to send a message to Pan Huixin, who was in closed training, to come and annoy us,

she also found someone to leak the story of my wife once being refused by the Qin Family, which led to someone having the audacity to mock my wife in front of me. Do you think a simple apology can settle this matter?"

As soon as Huo Jingrui finished speaking, the Lu family members all changed their expressions.

They truly were unaware of this latter incident, and the Lu family all glared angrily at Long Yueyue.

Long Changjiang, the very father, angrily raised his hand and slapped Long Yueyue: "How do you have the face to do these things?"

Even Old Master Lu’s face turned somber; today’s visit was not to settle matters, it seemed more like a self-inflicted humiliation. He was well aware that the Huo Family wouldn’t let this matter slide easily.

As expected, before they could plead for forgiveness, Lu Qingshan from the Second Wife branch of the Lu Family came to the Huo Family. After greeting Huo Jingrui, he went directly to Old Master Lu’s side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Old Master Lu raised his eyes to look at Huo Jingrui; he didn’t expect this youngster to act so swiftly. What they had received yesterday must have just been an appetizer.

Even so, they couldn’t blame others, after all, they hadn’t done anything wrong. Long Yueyue dared to provoke them, how could they not retaliate?

However, this means they must show sincerity on this trip, otherwise the entire Lu Family would be scrutinized for this matter, and no one wanted to see the consequences.

Old Master Lu exchanged a glance with his two sons and then spoke after a brief consideration: "Young Huo, I know any words are somewhat useless right now because Long Yueyue’s inability to gauge matters caused trouble and hurt to you all.

But since things have already happened, what the Lu Family can do now is to offer the maximum possible compensation."

Fearing his words might anger Huo Jingrui and worsen the situation, he hurriedly explained: "I absolutely don’t intend to use compensation to suppress this matter, nor to make you swallow your anger. This is genuine remorse for not educating Long Yueyue properly."

Yunyi glanced at Long Yueyue, who hadn’t realized the extent of her mistake yet, thinking that dealing with her was only a matter of moving a finger. She could see that Old Master Lu was indeed a righteous man; coming personally for such a junior was commendable enough.

She didn’t want to set up an adversary for the Huo Family just after her marriage, so she tugged at Huo Jingrui’s clothes: "Since things have come to this point, for the sake of Old Master Lu, we should let bygones be bygones."

Long Yueyue’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile: Hmph, people from small households are just spineless, compromised by a few words from an elder.
