Chapter 17
Twice the result with half the effort, indeed.
The Li family.
“Dad, I got it, I was wrong! Would you please stop beating me?! How was I to know that Chi Yi has such strong backing?!” Li Chenyu was bruised and injured all over by his father’s beatings with a wooden cane. The older man spared no mercy for his son.
“You dumb*ss!! Your father here had found a business opportunity but it’s all ruined now because of you! You’re such a letdown and a scoundrel. Watch how I beat you to death today!” With that, Li Yuexin chased after the young lad again to beat him up.
“That’s enough! You’re gonna kill me if you continue hitting me!! At most, I’ll go woo her again, won’t that resolve the issue? I bet she still likes me!”
“Really?”
It was as though he saw a glimpse of hope again. The man quickly stopped his actions.
“Of course! Otherwise, why would she get so angry upon seeing me with another woman?” As Li Chenyu rubbed his red and swollen face, he grumbled, “Gee. Look at my face now. What am I to do if I’m disfigured? She’ll no longer be interested in me!”
“Spare me the nonsense!”
His father started dragging him. “Go change your clothes and prepare to go out!”
“Where to?”
“To the Chi family’s house, of course! You’re going to apologize to them!”
“…”
———————
It was a rare weekend.
Chi Zuxu was currently working in his study on the second floor and his niece, on the other hand, nestled herself into the living room’s long sofa while on a Korean drama marathon.
Just then, the villa’s doorbell rang. Chi Yi looked outside in curiosity as Aunty Lin went over to answer the video call. “May I ask who you are looking for?”
“We’re looking for Mr. Chi and Miss. Chi,” answered Li Yuexin from outside.
The la.s.s was stunned to hear that.
Looking for me?
Her astonishment got her hastily getting to her feet to go over and take a look.
When she saw her ex’s face on the screen, however, she wrinkled her nose in disdain. “I’m not meeting them!”
Her forehead creased.
Why is he here?!
“Let them in, Aunty Chen.”
Chi Zuxu’s low commanding voice came from the second floor, his tone relaxed yet irrefutable.
She looked up at the man with a frown.
“Don’t you want to hear how he’s going to apologize to you?” He lifted a brow.
“Apologize to me?” She felt skeptical about it.
That jerk would actually come apologizing to me?! Hah! If so, I’m looking forward to it!
As Li Yuexin dragged his son in, the man standing at the long corridor upstairs had no intention of heading down. Instead, he shoved a hand in a pocket of his gray casual slacks while holding a cup of hot coffee in his other hand and lazily sipped at the drink as he watched the scene in the dining hall from above with squinted eyes.
“Chi Yi, I was wrong! I especially came down today to apologize to you.”
Li Chenyu placed the apology gift on the coffee table before standing before the young woman and sincerely apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Chi Yi! Please forgive me!”
“…” Never did she expect that this chap would suddenly come knocking on the door to give her an apology. It was truly astounding!
She could not resist glancing at the man upstairs who only lifted his chin slightly in response, as he elegantly sipped a mouthful of coffee in his cup and paid no attention to them.
“Chi Yi, should my boy do you wrong again, you just need to tell me and I’ll give him a good whacking! I promise I’ll teach him a good lesson on your behalf!”
It was only after hearing what his father said that she realized that the jerk’s face was bruised and injured!
Hmph! He deserves it!
She raised a brow at that.
Is this what Third Uncle meant by… outwit?
It really works! Having been beaten to such a state, he still has to come and apologize to me! This is twice the result with half the effort, indeed!
That’s really wicked!!
